On The Path Of Cultivation To Become God

Chapter 319: What is going on here?

A weird expression crossed Chen Tian's face as he processed Baihu's unexpected proposal.

'Is this woman out of her mind?' he thought, noting the strange look in her eyes and the erratic way she was speaking.

It was clear that something was definitely wrong with her head.

"Maybe I've heard it wrong," he muttered under his breath, trying to make sense of the situation. After all, who would ask someone on their first meeting to be their mate!

Chen Tian shook his head and decided it was best to politely decline Baihu's offer before things got any more confusing.

"I am sorry, Miss, but I don't think that would be a good idea," Chen Tian said, trying to let her down gently.

He was already planning on leaving; the lightning state would end in less than a minute, and after that, his situation would definitely get even worse.

Chen Tian excused himself and made his way to leave, but before he could go, a hand landed on his shoulder.

"Eh!"

Startled, Chen Tian turned around to see Baihu looking at him with a determined expression.

"I'm sorry, but you can't leave just yet," she said firmly. "I've dreamed of this day for years, so I won't let you walk away now, no way!"

"Woman, why don't you understand? I have to go," Chen Tian replied, trying to pull away from her grasp.

But Baihu held on tight; her grip was like a hawk coiling around his arm, refusing to let go. Even when Chen Tian used all his strength, he wasn't able to break free.

"I don't care," Baihu said fiercely, her eyes blazing with determination. "I won't let you go until you hear me out."

Sweat dripped down Chen Tian's face as he looked into Baihu's eyes. The woman was truly a beauty sculpted from moonlight and honed with the edge of a celestial sword.

But Chen Tian didn't have the time to admire her, as his time was running out, and he knew he had to leave. Even if this woman didn't want to harm him, he couldn't risk staying any longer. Despite his attempts to reason with her, Baihu's grip remained unyielding.

"Ah! Okay, I get it," Chen Tian finally relented, realizing there was no other way to escape. "I promise to talk to you, just please let me go."

Baihu's expression softened slightly as she slowly released her grip on him. "Thank you," she said, a hint of relief in her voice.

Chen Tian took a deep breath. "I don't mind hearing you out, but… not now," he hurriedly said.

"What do you mean?" Baihu asked, confusion evident in her eyes.

Chen Tian hesitated for a moment before responding, "I mean, I have something important to do now. I promise I will listen to you later, but right now I need to take care of this urgent matter."

He looked at Baihu with a sense of urgency in his eyes.

Baihu could see that Chen Tian was serious and nodded understandingly. "Sure, what about tomorrow?"

Chen Tian was surprised by Baihu's understanding and quickly nodded. "Tomorrow works for me," he replied with a small smile.

"Here, take this. I will meet you tomorrow at this place, and if you dare not come, I can always find you," Baihu said with a wicked grin.

Chen Tian chuckled nervously, knowing from the woman's attitude, she surely wasn't joking.

Baihu then handed him a piece of paper with an address written on it and a shop name.

Chen Tian took it. The address was Kanas Lake, a remote and beautiful location where many hot springs could be found. The hot spring name was Jade Spring, a famous destination for relaxation and rejuvenation.

"I will wait for you at Jade Spring tomorrow at noon. Don't keep me waiting," Baihu said as she turned and flew away.

"Oh, I almost forgot. What's your name?" Baihu asked, pausing in mid-air.

"My name is Chen Tian," he quickly replied.

Baihu nodded and disappeared into the distance, leaving Chen Tian feeling intrigued about the identity of this woman.

But his time was already running out, so without wasting any more time, he quickly flew in the direction of the Ming family.

Sadly, he knew he would not make it, as the one-minute deadline for his lightning state was already over.

So he decided to choose a safe place to land and wait for the side effects of using his lightning state to subside.

As he touched down on the ground, Chen Tian could feel his body start to tingle and his muscles twitched uncontrollably.

He clenched his teeth and tried to focus on slowing his breathing, knowing that the side effects would pass eventually.

"Fuck!"

Experience more on M-V-L

As the minutes ticked by, he felt a wave of exhaustion wash over him, but he remained determined to push through.

Wu Ye didn't ask any questions, knowing that the way Chen Tian used to increase his strength would surely have some side effects, so she waited for him to regain his composure.

After what felt like an eternity, the tingling finally began to fade, and Chen Tian slowly rose to his feet.

"Are you alright?" Wu Ye asked, concern evident in her voice.

Chen Tian nodded, giving her a weak smile. "I'll be fine," he replied, his voice still shaky.

Chen Tian made his way back to the Ming family, still feeling the remnants of his lightning state coursing through his body, but it wasn't that bad.

It took him a little while to return to The Ming Mansion. He didn't enter from the front gate, but instead went through the window he used to leave.

Leng Zhiqing was beside Aria's bed, checking on her sister; the two girls still hadn't woken up yet. It would probably take a while for them to fully recover.

"Chen Tian!" Ming Ming was the first to spot him, her eyes widening in surprise. "What happened to you?" she asked, rushing over to him.

Chen Tian's face was pale, and he didn't look well.

Without noticing her action, Ming Ming reached out to hold his face in her hands, feeling the heat radiating off his skin.

"I'm just a little exhausted. I will be fine in a while," Chen Tian reassured her weakly, forcing a small smile.

Ming Ming looked at him with concern. "No! We have to get you to a doctor right away. You don't look well at all," she insisted, her voice filled with worry. Her hand on his face trembled slightly as she tried to assess his condition.

Chen Tian's eyes met hers, and a slight blush spread across Ming Ming's face as she realized how close they were standing.

Clank.

"My little princess, Daddy missed you—!!"

Suddenly, the door of the room opened, revealing a man in his thirties with a warm smile on his face.

But the man's expression froze the second his eyes landed on Ming Ming and the guy she was standing so close to.

"Ah!"

Ming Ming quickly realized the situation and took her hand back, her cheeks turning even redder.

But that only made things worse, as the man saw his daughter's expression. His face darkened, and his smile disappeared.

He clenched his jaw, his eyes narrowing as he took in the scene before him. "What is going on here?" he demanded, his voice low and dangerous.
