Book 5: Chapter 12:2: Chen Hengâs 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.
âLuo Li, you wretched tramp child! To think you did not tell me when the danger was resolved?â Mo Qingtong blew her top at Luo Li.
âWhatâs the rush? The danger only just got resolved. Naturally, I would have let you know after some time. Also, arenât you back already?â Luo Li had an indifferent expression as she sat on the sofa.
âAfter some time? Just how long would âafter some timeâ 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?â
âUnfortunately, you are back too late. Iâve already met the family.â Luo Li took out the bellâAh! No, it was no mere bell; it was the Primal Chaos Bellâthe Chen Clan ancestor gave her, and toyed with it.
Chen Heng discovered that Luo Li could somehow incite Mo Qingtongâs anger in strange ways.
âMet the family? What do you mean?â Mo Qingtong suddenly realized the situation was not as simple as she thought.
âExactly what it means. Iâve already met Elder Brother Hengâs 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.â Luo Li made the Primal Chaos Bell in her hand grow larger, then made it orbit Mo Qingtongâs head.
Luo Liâs move cut straight to the heart.
âIâ¦damn!â
âAhem! Ahem! Qingtong, youâve returned?â 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.
âAh Heng, are you done cultivating?â
âYes!â
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 dâArc sensed the atmosphere, so they did not speak. As for Fafnirâ¦she was basically a mascot; there was no need to bother with her.
âAh Heng, sorry.â After some time, Mo Qingtong eventually broke the silence.
âAh! Itâs fine. After all, those things havenât happened for me yet.â Chen Heng understood what Mo Qingtong meant.
âBut if this is not a re:life but a world reset, it meansâ¦â Mo Qingtong still felt uneasy.
âAlright. 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, youâve already done your best. If thereâs anyone to blame, itâs my fault for being too weak and also too unlucky.â
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.
âWhat are you doing?â Feeling that Mo Qingtong was too close, Chen Heng retreated half a step.
ââ¦â Mo Qingtong wordlessly took action.
Her first step was to raise Chen Hengâs 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 Hengâs brain froze when she raised his chin. So⦠That damn soft feeling!
Mo Qingtongâs actions completely surpassed Luo Liâs 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 dâArc, she continued playing her game without looking away, oblivious to this scene.
This great meâs first kiss is gone? This was Chen Hengâs first reaction.
Then out of instinctâtruly purely instinct, just trust thisâChen Heng stuck his tongue out and licked.
!!! This time, it was Mo Qingtongâs turn to get caught off guard.
Taking the initiative to kiss Chen Heng was already the furthest Mo Qingtongâs courage afforded her. Furthermore, she had only done this when she was not in her right mind. This was Mo Qingtongâs 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 overâ¦
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.
âHah! Hah! Manyâ¦many thanks for hosting me. I-I-I have something on. I-Iâm going back first!â 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.
âYou are welcome. Take care!â Out of habit and politeness, these words came out of Chen Hengâs 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! Donât look at how Chen Heng was a master at breakups; this was still his first practical experience.
