Book 5: Chapter 12:2: Chen Heng’s Passive Practical Experience, Part 2
Chen Heng glanced at the crystal and noticed only a bit of the sword-attributed Spiritual Energy remained; the crystal was almost drained.
Situ Yu had used two-thirds of the Spiritual Energy in the crystal. Then Chen Heng practically used up the rest in one go.
When people outside of the Chen Clan used this crystal, it would increase their chances of breakthroughs. That was purely because the sword-attributed Spiritual Energy was of a high grade, a great nourishment for the cultivators of this world.
My ancestor crushing those bastards to death serves them right. They wasted the Spiritual Energy accumulated in it for close to 100 years.
Chen Heng left the basement only after adjusting to his body, which felt reborn. Chen Heng saw Mo Qingtong and Luo Li arguing when he came out.
“Luo Li, you wretched tramp child! To think you did not tell me when the danger was resolved?” Mo Qingtong blew her top at Luo Li.
“What’s the rush? The danger only just got resolved. Naturally, I would have let you know after some time. Also, aren’t you back already?” Luo Li had an indifferent expression as she sat on the sofa.
“After some time? Just how long would ‘after some time’ be? Could it be a year or two before you told me? Had I not felt worried for Ah Heng and returned, who knows when you would inform me?”
“Unfortunately, you are back too late. I’ve already met the family.” Luo Li took out the bell—Ah! No, it was no mere bell; it was the Primal Chaos Bell—the Chen Clan ancestor gave her, and toyed with it.
Chen Heng discovered that Luo Li could somehow incite Mo Qingtong’s anger in strange ways.
“Met the family? What do you mean?” Mo Qingtong suddenly realized the situation was not as simple as she thought.
“Exactly what it means. I’ve already met Elder Brother Heng’s ancestor. This bell is a present from his ancestor, and it even has a familiar name. It is the Primal Chaos Bell. Jealous? Unfortunately, you do not have one.” Luo Li made the Primal Chaos Bell in her hand grow larger, then made it orbit Mo Qingtong’s head.
Luo Li’s move cut straight to the heart.
“I…damn!”
“Ahem! Ahem! Qingtong, you’ve returned?” Chen Heng spoke up at an opportune moment. That way, he could stop the two from arguing. If they continued, things might no longer be family-friendly.
“Ah Heng, are you done cultivating?”
“Yes!”
Then an awkward atmosphere developed. Mo Qingtong and Chen Heng said nothing, and Luo Li looked like she was watching a good show.
Sirin and Jeanne d’Arc sensed the atmosphere, so they did not speak. As for Fafnir…she was basically a mascot; there was no need to bother with her.
“Ah Heng, sorry.” After some time, Mo Qingtong eventually broke the silence.
“Ah! It’s fine. After all, those things haven’t happened for me yet.” Chen Heng understood what Mo Qingtong meant.
“But if this is not a re:life but a world reset, it means…” Mo Qingtong still felt uneasy.
“Alright. If I said it never happened, it never happened. At the very least, I do not have my memories of before the world reset. Furthermore, you’ve already done your best. If there’s anyone to blame, it’s my fault for being too weak and also too unlucky.”
The current situation made Mo Qingtong feel if she did nothing, her relationship with Chen Heng would only be something more than friends but not lovers. After all, her ancestor was indeed in the wrong.
Hence, she decided to do something ridiculous.
Mo Qingtong quickly walked up to Chen Heng.
“What are you doing?” Feeling that Mo Qingtong was too close, Chen Heng retreated half a step.
“…” Mo Qingtong wordlessly took action.
Her first step was to raise Chen Heng’s chin with a hand. Then she went straight to the last step: kissing him.
!!! Mo Qingtong had been quite close to Chen Heng, to begin with. Furthermore, Chen Heng’s brain froze when she raised his chin. So… That damn soft feeling!
Mo Qingtong’s actions completely surpassed Luo Li’s expectations. As she had recently self-detonated her time crystal, her time ability was still recovering. This prevented her from smoothly using her time ability. She could only watch as Mo Qingtong kissed Chen Heng.
Sirin, who was on the sofa, quickly covered her eyes, but she still peeked through the large gaps between her fingers.
As for Jeanne d’Arc, she continued playing her game without looking away, oblivious to this scene.
This great me’s first kiss is gone? This was Chen Heng’s first reaction.
Then out of instinct—truly purely instinct, just trust this—Chen Heng stuck his tongue out and licked.
!!! This time, it was Mo Qingtong’s turn to get caught off guard.
Taking the initiative to kiss Chen Heng was already the furthest Mo Qingtong’s courage afforded her. Furthermore, she had only done this when she was not in her right mind. This was Mo Qingtong’s first kiss in two lives.
She did not expect Chen Heng to use his tongue during the kiss.
Since Chen Heng had attacked, Mo Qingtong did not back off. In face of the stimulus overload, her biological instinct took over…
Three minutes later:
The two kissed for three minutes, and the others watched for three minutes. Luo Li gaped, unable to say a word. She also had no idea how to interrupt the two.
The two only parted when Mo Qingtong ran out of breath. Furthermore, there was even a silver thread connecting their mouths.
“Hah! Hah! Many…many thanks for hosting me. I-I-I have something on. I-I’m going back first!” Mo Qingtong flushed when her brain caught up.
She initially went in for a peck, not expecting it to develop into a French kiss. For both parties, this was their first kiss and overly stimulating.
“You are welcome. Take care!” Out of habit and politeness, these words came out of Chen Heng’s mouth as he watched Mo Qingtong fumble with the door and leave.
Chen Heng only reached up and touched his lips after ten seconds, finally realizing what had happened.
So, I got taken advantage of?
It has always been me taking advantage of people. Since when have I ever gotten taken advantage of? No! I cannot take this!
However, even if I cannot take this, what can I do? Force a kiss on her in revenge?
No! No! Don’t look at how Chen Heng was a master at breakups; this was still his first practical experience.
