My Pretty Campus Queen

Chapter 1323: Chapter 1322: Returning to the Village

Obviously, the Swift Phoenix was very obedient as well. Although it knew this kind of weight really wasn’t any burden for it, since it was its master’s boyfriend calling out like that, it couldn’t refuse.

After a short test flight, Chen Tianlong felt it was pretty good and quite steady, so he shot a look at Tan Xianglan standing to the side.

Tan Xianglan immediately understood and said to the Swift Phoenix, "Little Chick~, let’s take off. Fly that way."

Tan Xianglan pointed ahead so the Swift Phoenix could know the general direction. The two people beside them were already dumbfounded, not because they were shocked by the Swift Phoenix’s flight, but by the name Tan Xianglan was calling it.

Little Chick~... This... As a seasoned middle-aged woman, Zhang Li’s face instantly flushed red the moment she heard it. Then she glanced at this young girl, who seemed totally unbothered by anything, and couldn’t help sighing in her heart—being simple really is a blessing.

Of course, Chen Tianlong heard it too, but in this situation he didn’t dare correct her. After all, it wasn’t just the two of them here, there were four people, both men and women.

It was just that Tan Xianglan didn’t notice anything wrong at all, and every now and then she kept calling it "Little Chick~," leaving Chen Tianlong honestly at a loss for words.

Sure enough, this Swift Phoenix really was a fine Spirit Beast. It crossed mountains and ridges—what took him three hours on foot only took less than twenty minutes before they flew to that Phoenix Village.

At this moment, cooking smoke curled up above Phoenix Village, the sun was setting in the west, and the scene was spectacular.

Tan Xianglan had never seen such a beautiful sight before and couldn’t help shouting, "Chen Tianlong, hurry and look, the sunset over there is so beautiful!"

Chen Tianlong followed the direction of Tan Xianglan’s finger. A slanting sun hung above the mountains, and everything looked so peaceful. This couldn’t help but remind him of what his girlfriend Xiaoyan had said—that after they graduated, they’d find a quiet place and live a good life.

And if only Lin Wushuang could see such scenery as well, how wonderful that would be.

Looking at Tan Xianglan in front of him, with her graceful figure, at this moment she was like a bird in flight, spreading her arms, gazing at everything around them, starting to soar.

From the side, Chen Tianlong could faintly see her smile-filled face, so beautiful.

In that instant, Chen Tianlong suddenly understood: turns out every girl is an angel. They all share the same ideal in their hearts—yearning for peace, yearning to live a warm, cozy life, without struggle and without slaughter.

Yet what this society brings us is far too much scheming and deceit. But this is reality; we have no power to change the world, and in the end, we can only change ourselves.

Chen Tianlong pulled back his gaze and gently wrapped his hands around Tan Xianglan, afraid that if she got too excited she might fall. As for Xu He and Zhang Li, since these two were "real" lovers, a bit of hugging and holding was normal and they didn’t feel anything was off.

Only Tan Xianglan knew best in her heart that what Chen Tianlong was doing now was out of concern for her, afraid she might fall. Tan Xianglan’s feelings were very complicated at this moment—they were about to head back.

Which meant that for a long time, she wouldn’t be able to see Chen Tianlong.

This kind of longing was something no one else could understand. Most crucially, the two of them weren’t ordinary lovers, but family enemies.

Between the Tan Family and Chen Tianlong one could say there was a hatred as deep as the sky. Chen Tianlong had crippled several members of the Tan Family; for their families to accept Chen Tianlong would be harder than climbing to heaven.

So every time she thought of this, Tan Xianglan’s heart would ache with an unspeakable feeling.

After spending this period of time together, Tan Xianglan really had come to like Chen Tianlong. Though she didn’t know whether this counted as love, there was one thing she was very sure of.

Tan Xianglan would miss Chen Tianlong; she would feel sad because of his coldness toward her, and because of his happiness, she would be happy.

Before long, the Swift Phoenix landed in an open space not far from the village. After all, this was Phoenix Village; in order not to frighten the villagers, Chen Tianlong could only order the Swift Phoenix to stop here.

Sure enough, the Swift Phoenix was very obedient. After putting the four of them down, it turned back into a cute Little Chick~.

"Little Chick~, are you willing to come back with me?"

Tan Xianglan felt that the Swift Phoenix originally belonged to this mountain range as a Spirit Beast. She didn’t know whether it would feel reluctant or uncomfortable leaving, so she had to ask for its consent.

"Gululu..." The Swift Phoenix nodded, looking extremely happy. It seemed that it had agreed to Tan Xianglan’s request.

"Hehe, alright then, I’ll take you to see that bustling city. But maybe after a while, you’ll get tired of that place." Tan Xianglan said lightly.

These words weren’t just for the Swift Phoenix; they were also for those people who were dead set on going to the city. The city is like a besieged fortress: those inside want to come out, and those outside want to get in.

"Gululu..."

The Swift Phoenix clearly didn’t understand this, but what did it matter? It was just a Spirit Beast; as long as it had food to eat and someone to dote on it, that was enough. It wouldn’t worry about anything else.

Chen Tianlong took a deep breath, understanding what Tan Xianglan meant. Zhang Li, standing to the side, was also lost in thought, but this time she was determined to leave. Perhaps she wasn’t leaving to see how dazzling the world outside was, but just to go back and see her long-lost parents and tell them she was still alive.

Maybe after settling this one matter in her heart, she wouldn’t care where she was anymore, or where she was headed.

Night fell. Zhang Li led the three of them back to her home, then took out all the good food she had. Perhaps this was their last meal; from now on, she might never return.

Because of that, this meal was a feast for Chen Tianlong and the others. After all the tossing about that day, everyone was tired and they slept straight through till dawn.

Today, Chen Tianlong and his group had to head back, and Xu Ke was anxious for Chen Tianlong to return and save someone. They’d been out for two days already; Xu Ke didn’t know whether his boss’s illness had started acting up yet.

Even though the medicine was said to last seven days, many things don’t follow common sense but depend on your own constitution. Some people with better constitutions might hold out for seven days, but Xu Ke knew his boss spent his days on booze, meat, and women—how good could his health be?

Only thing was, this time, Chen Tianlong had to take Zhang Li out, and getting Zhang Li out was no easy matter. Never mind the complicated people in the village, just the idle loafers hanging around the village entrance alone would cause them a lot of trouble.

So if they wanted to send Zhang Li out, they had to come up with a plan.

"I’m begging you, Chen Tianlong, you have to get me out of here. As long as you can take me out, I’ll agree to any condition you ask." Zhang Li pleaded.

But when these words reached Chen Tianlong’s ears, he couldn’t help feeling they sounded a bit strange. If it were Tan Xianglan, he’d be quite happy—young and pretty, and he could actually make a move. But a thirty- or forty-year-old middle-aged woman like her, he just wasn’t interested.

"Cough, cough... I know, I’m working on a way," Chen Tianlong said with some embarrassment.

Just then, Tan Xianglan walked over and asked, "Chen Tianlong, how different do you think Zhang Li’s figure is from mine?"

Chen Tianlong froze for a moment and roughly understood what Tan Xianglan meant. And sure enough, with her saying that, an idea came to him.

This Zhang Li was in her thirties, but she’d kept her figure very well. Her height was about the same as Tan Xianglan’s, both around one-sixty-five. In terms of build, Zhang Li was just a little more solid.
