Chapter 2265: Chapter 2262: The Awkwardness of Not Knowing Qinggong
Originally, Ghost and the others were worried about Fatty Huang’s injuries, but Shen Lin’s words made the already cold air even colder.
"I agree with Shen Lin’s point of view, if you can’t handle it, then leave, there’s no need for weaklings here," Situ Yufeng chimed in again.
Fatty Huang lowered his head, feeling very ashamed. He had confidently declared that he would do things for Lin Tian, yet now he couldn’t accomplish anything, and instead caused Lin Tian to risk coming back to save him.
"You guys are going too far. Just because speed isn’t Fatty’s strong suit, is there any need for such sarcasm? Can you guarantee that the road ahead will be smooth sailing for yourselves?" Ling Shuiyao retorted consecutively, displeased.
Situ Yufeng pursed his lips and sneered, "No one can guarantee smooth sailing, but at least we can guarantee not being lost."
Lin Tian patted Fatty’s shoulder, speaking calmly, "Fatty, don’t worry about what others think. Whether you go or not, I support you."
Fatty Huang raised his head, gritted his teeth, and said, "I’ll go."
"Good, that’s the spirit of a man. They’re provoking you just to have one less competitor," praised Ghost.
"Fatty was saved by me, you have no say in this. If anyone dares to trouble him, my Heavenly Tribulation Sword won’t care whether you’re from a noble family or not," Lin Tian glanced coldly at these noble children.
"Hmph..." Shen Lin snorted coldly but didn’t insist further, instead, he walked to the side and sat cross-legged in meditation.
The others dispersed as well, each finding a place to sit and wait for the snowstorm to end.
"Mr. Lin, I embarrassed you," Fatty Huang said softly.
"The embarrassing ones are them, not you. Complaining over little things, just looking at them is annoying," Lin Tian dismissively said, patting his shoulder, "Take your time to recover, you received quite an impact when you fell."
Fatty nodded vigorously, also sitting cross-legged and began breath control.
Although it was still morning, the cave was pitch black, only Bai’s two leopard eyes glowing like light bulbs.
The howling noises outside continued; inside the cave, it was rare to have such tranquility, each with their own thoughts.
Everyone waited for most of the day, until the afternoon when the wind started to die down, and finally, everything fell silent, the wind stopped.
Everyone simultaneously opened their eyes, Shen Lin was the first to walk out, but stopped at the entrance. Lin Tian went over to look and found the entrance was mostly buried under snow.
"Wow, the snow is as tall as a person," Ghost exclaimed, not just him, everyone had never seen snow pile up so thick in just half a day.
"I’ve lived at the Medicine King Mansion since I was a child, and even I’ve never seen such heavy snow. How do we proceed on the road ahead?" Yan Lingling’s small mouth opened slightly, surprised.
These words sank everyone’s mood, but staying in the cave wasn’t a solution either. Shen Lin suddenly took action, punching out with a buzz, a visible ripple surged forward, blasting the snowbank open.
The dazzling sunlight shone in, and the cave instantly became bright, an unfortunate situation turned for the better, at least the weather had completely cleared.
Everyone ran out of the cave, breathing in the fresh air, post-snow it wasn’t as cold as imagined.
The snow outside wasn’t as thick as at the entrance; due to the rock wall’s blockage, the snow near the wall was thicker. But even so, the snow was over a meter thick, Ghost tried stepping on it, and the snow completely buried his legs.
Shen Lin said nothing, glanced at the compass, leaped, and landed steadily on the snow surface. But he didn’t linger, tapping his toes, his whole body floated out.
Qinggong! Lin Tian was displeased with him, but had to admit, this guy’s Qinggong was exceptionally good, in a few moves he floated more than a hundred meters away.
With Shen Lin’s demonstration, the others also realized, one by one they leaped out of the snow pit, Qinggong unfolding as they flew through the soft snow.
In no time, only Lin Tian and a few others were left, the pretty ladies noticed Lin Tian motionless, showing no intention of moving, Ling Shuiyao urged, "Come on, Lin Tian, why are you daydreaming?"
Then they discovered Lin Tian still hadn’t moved, Yan Lingling blinked innocently, "Brother Lin Tian, don’t you know Qinggong? Then how did you outrun Bai?"
Even with Lin Tian’s thick skin, he was getting embarrassed by the little girl’s question, because he really didn’t know Qinggong.
"Want me to carry you?" Miss smiled mischievously, rare to see Lin Tian being unable to do something, she felt playful.
"Lin Tian, how about you ride Bai, my sister can carry me." Xiao Manxuan was kind-hearted and sought to resolve Lin Tian’s embarrassment.
What a joke, letting a beautiful woman carry him while he runs, how could he continue like that, Lin Tian immediately refused the sisters’ good intentions, "No need, you all go first, I’ll catch up soon."
Ghost kept looking up at the sky, pretending he hadn’t seen Lin Tian being "teased and surrounded" by the beauties.
"Make sure you hurry," Yan Lingling still believed Lin Tian, lightly patting Bai, and Bai elegantly jumped out, then ran over the snow.
The weight of two people plus a snow leopard didn’t sink in, how was that possible? Was even a pet snow leopard proficient in Qinggong? Lin Tian thought rather depressed.
Zombies had this disadvantage, unable to practice Qinggong. If only I could fly like Nu Ba, everyone would be envious, Lin Tian fantasized for a moment, but it was just a thought, flying was far ahead.
Miss gave him an amused glance, easily jumped out, white dress and black hair dancing over the snow, as beautiful as a Heavenly Immortal.
"Ahem, Brother Tian, my Qinggong isn’t great, I’ll go first," Ghost held in his laughter, ran off not knowing when he learned Qinggong.
Soon, only Lin Tian and Fatty Huang were left in the snow pit, both wide-eyed staring at each other.
"Why aren’t you leaving?" Lin Tian asked curiously.
"My Qinggong isn’t very good too," Fatty Huang said with great shame.
"Try walking a few steps?" Lin Tian pushed him to try.
Fatty Huang leaped high, but when landing he didn’t lightly step on the snow and fly like others, instead with a boom, his large body blasted a big pit in the snow. The loud noise attracted attention from the Ancient Martial Artists ahead, each turned back to look at him.
Lin Tian also covered his forehead, couldn’t bear to look anymore, I am a zombie, unable to practice Qinggong, could it be that you can’t practice either.
"Tweet..." A sharp call came from the sky, Lin Tian looked up, saw a large bird circling above, seemingly an eagle but not an eagle, perhaps out hunting after the weather cleared. Kunlun Mountain was truly magical, such large birds existed.
Ah, flying was nice, Lin Tian envied, but the path had to be taken, bracing himself, he jumped out, unsurprisingly, like Fatty he blasted open a pit in the snow, the only difference was his pit was smaller.
Ahead came Miss’s silver bell laughter, very cheerful.
"Master, Miss was teasing you," even Sword Spirit noticed, chuckling teasingly.
"Shut up!" Lin Tian raised his middle finger, continuing forward, hopping like a zombie.
