Chapter 375: I want to do something right now, it’s over, I’m screwed!
"Teacher Erlong, you this..."
"Say no more."
Liu Erlong waved her hand, and a small smile finally appeared on her face.
Although her ears were still a bit red, she could at least look into Lin Qingmo’s eyes normally.
She couldn’t hold it for more than three seconds before her gaze drifted away again, but it was progress nonetheless.
"Anyway, I’ve already suffered social death in front of you once, it’s humiliating to the extreme."
"Since I’ve already lost face, I might as well just be shameless."
As she spoke, she spread her hands, striking a pose that said, "I’m completely giving up."
"From now on, I’m following your lead, don’t let me down."
Lin Qingmo: "..."
Wait, isn’t this teacher’s psychological resilience a bit too strong?
From social death to completely letting go, what about the psychological reconstruction process in between?
What about the struggle? The hesitation? The part where you bury your face in a pillow and scream silently in the middle of the night?
Did she skip all of that?
But regardless.
"Welcome aboard."
He reached out his hand.
Liu Erlong looked at his hand, hesitated for a moment, but it was only for a moment.
She took it.
The touch was warm and firm.
Liu Erlong suddenly felt that the previous social death didn’t seem so embarrassing anymore.
At least... this kid’s hand was quite warm.
Pfft.
Liu Erlong, you’re so shameless!
She yanked her hand back!
...
Half a day passed quickly.
Lin Qingmo sat cross-legged on the bed, eyes closed, breathing evenly.
He was meditating.
His spirit power flowed slowly through his Meridians, growing a fraction stronger with each completed cycle.
More importantly, meditation allowed his mind to stay focused.
In this dangerous World, strength was the foundation of everything.
You can be handsome, but being strong is the hard truth.
Although he belonged to the rare category of "both handsome and strong."
Just then—
Boom!
An explosion erupted in the courtyard without warning.
Lin Qingmo nearly jumped off the bed.
Immediately after, a terrifying wave of spirit power erupted, spreading in all directions with the courtyard as the center.
The fluctuation was as hot as fire and incomparably overbearing, as if an ancient Fire Dragon had awakened from its slumber, and it was in a particularly bad mood.
Lin Qingmo snapped his eyes open.
That was Liu Erlong’s aura.
But it was more than a level stronger than the previous Liu Erlong.
To use an analogy, the previous Liu Erlong was a campfire, and now she was an active volcano.
"Is this... the three Spirit Bones successfully fused?"
Before he could even stand up, fire soared into the sky in the courtyard.
The scarlet flames surged and rose like living things, dyeing half the sky red.
Fortunately, it was daytime, otherwise half the people in Heaven Dou City would have thought the sun had started its shift early.
In the center of the flames, a graceful figure slowly stood up.
Liu Erlong.
Her body was wrapped in a layer of scarlet flames.
Those flames clung to her like a veil, outlining curves that made one’s blood boil.
The flames seemed to have a life of their own, flowing and leaping around her, both dangerous and beautiful.
She was practically a walking human flame special effect.
Eight spirit rings rotated around her.
Two yellow, two purple, four black.
The standard configuration of spirit rings for a Spirit Douluo.
And what was most striking was the aura emanating from her.
Level eighty-six!
This was the power of Spirit Bones!
Three high-quality Spirit Bones—the improvement to a Spirit Master was nothing short of a rebirth.
From level seventy-eight to level eighty-six, in just over a month, she had jumped eight levels.
If this speed were to get out, the entire Spirit Master’s world would be shaken.
Liu Erlong felt the surging power within her, felt the brand-new abilities brought by the Spirit Bone, and felt that unprecedented sense of power.
Her eyes were a little moist.
From the years she was held back by Yu Xiaogang, to today.
She, Liu Erlong, had finally truly stood up!
She didn’t expect that in just about a month, she would have a consecutive Breakthrough of eight levels.
Even she felt incredibly dazed.
It felt like a dream.
No, even in a dream, it wouldn’t be this outrageous.
But more than that, it was sheer exhilaration.
It was like shedding all the shackles on her body, like being crushed under the Five Elements Mountain for five hundred years and finally breaking out, like...
Forget it, no amount of metaphors could describe that feeling of satisfaction.
She opened her eyes, her gaze piercing through the flames to see that figure in the room.
Lin Qingmo.
This kid had given her an Immortal Herb, helped her hunt Spirit Beasts to obtain spirit rings, and even given her an incredibly precious Spirit Bone.
Although there was a huge misunderstanding in between that made her want to dig a hole on the spot, bury herself, and erect a tombstone, it was so socially humiliating.
But, he really had changed her destiny.
An indescribable emotion surged in her chest.
Gratitude, excitement, and something else that couldn’t be clearly defined.
That something was dangerous, she knew.
Reason was shouting "Stop," but another voice was louder.
"I don’t care anymore, right now I just want to do something!"
Her whole body turned into a ball of raging fire, rushing into the room at an incredible speed.
Lin Qingmo only felt a blur before his eyes.
Then, a hot figure pounced over, crashing into his arms like a human cannonball.
"Erlong Tea—"
Before he could finish his sentence.
A pair of soft, scalding lips stole his voice.
Lin Qingmo’s brain instantly crashed.
Who am I?
Where am I?
What happened?
He only knew that the person who pounced on him should be Liu Erlong, who had just finished fusing the Spirit Bone, but he completely didn’t understand why Liu Erlong suddenly kissed him.
Could this teacher have fused her brain into a problem while fusing the Spirit Bone?
Did she suffer from Qi Deviation?
No, that’s not right, Qi Deviation doesn’t have this symptom!
Liu Erlong’s kiss was hot and clumsy.
She had lived for so many years, this was her first time kissing someone.
It was just a pure, instinctive kiss that carried a certain sense of catharsis.
As if she wanted to pour all her gratitude, all her excitement, and all the emotions she couldn’t express into it.
Lin Qingmo was a bit dazed from being kissed.
His mind was full of question marks, and he even started to see his life flash before his eyes.
I haven’t even reached the Peak of my life on the Douluo Continent yet, am I going to die here today?
Not beaten to death by an enemy, not slapped to death by a Spirit Beast, but kissed to death by Liu Erlong?
If this way of dying got out, what would they write on the tombstone?
"This person died from a romantic tribulation, the culprit is his teacher, the murder weapon was her lips"?
That would be too embarrassing!
Just as he was considering whether to push Liu Erlong away.
"Creak!"
The courtyard gate opened.
It wasn’t pushed open a crack to peek, but pushed all the way open, as if afraid the people inside wouldn’t see who was standing at the door.
Four figures stood at the door.
They were Xiao Wu, Dugu Yan, Zhu Zhuqing, and Ning Rongrong.
They had rushed over after sensing that terrifying wave of spirit power just now.
They wanted to come and see what had happened in Lin Qingmo’s courtyard, and if he had caused another big scene.
Then they saw Liu Erlong hugging Lin Qingmo tightly.
The two were pressed so close they looked like they were about to merge into one.
The distance between their lips was zero, no, it was already negative distance contact!
!!!
The air froze.
Time stood still.
Even the wind didn’t dare to blow.
Four pairs of eyes widened like copper bells.
Four mouths opened wide enough to fit an egg.
The expressions of the four people were surprisingly identical—un-be-liev-able!
Xiao Wu’s scorpion braid moved without wind, and her pupils shook violently.
The potion in Dugu Yan’s hand "plop" fell to the ground and shattered into pieces.
Zhu Zhuqing’s expression remained cold, but the corner of her eye was twitching slightly.
This was already the limit of her expression of shock.
Ning Rongrong reacted the fastest; she had already automatically taken a screenshot of this scene in her brain and labeled it "Top-tier Iconic Moment · Permanent Collection."
