Chapter 188 I Can’t Say Yet
Lin Qingmeng was startled by Chu Tian's sudden anger. Tears welled up in her eyes and she said aggrievedly, "Are you mean to me?"
Chu Tian realized that he had lost his composure, and quickly slowed down his tone and said softly: "I'm sorry, Qingmeng, I didn't mean to be mean to you."
"Then why did you do this to me?" Lin Qingmeng looked at Chu Tian with tears in her eyes, "Do you know how worried I am about you?"
Chu Tian felt a pain in his heart. He reached out and took Lin Qingmeng into his arms, and said softly, "I'm sorry, Qingmeng, I made you worry."
Lin Qingmeng snuggled in Chu Tian's arms, feeling his warm embrace, and the grievances and uneasiness in her heart gradually dissipated.
"Chu Tian, what happened to you?" Lin Qingmeng raised her head, looked into Chu Tian's eyes, and asked softly, "Can you tell me?"
Chu Tian shook his head and said, "It's not the right time yet."
"Then when can you tell me?" Lin Qingmeng asked.
"One day, I will tell you." Chu Tian said, "But now, I can't tell you."
Lin Qingmeng wanted to ask more, but was stopped by Chu Tian.
"Okay, it's getting late, I'll take you home." Chu Tian said as he was about to get up.
"Wait." Lin Qingmeng held Chu Tian's hand and said, "I...I don't want to go back."
"Why?" Chu Tian asked puzzledly.
Lin Qingmeng bit her lip, then mustered up the courage to say, "I...I want to be with you."
Chu Tian was slightly stunned, and looking at Lin Qingmeng's sincere eyes, a warm feeling suddenly surged in his heart.
"A clear dream..."
"I know you may think I'm stupid, but I..." Lin Qingmeng's voice became smaller and smaller, and finally almost inaudible.
Chu Tian gently held Lin Qingmeng's cheek, kissed away the tears from her eyes tenderly, and said softly: "Silly girl, why would I think you are stupid? I want to be with you too."
When Lin Qingmeng heard Chu Tian's words, she burst into laughter and hugged him tightly.
Chu Tian also hugged Lin Qingmeng tightly, feeling her soft body, his heart filled with happiness and satisfaction.
……
The next morning, Chu Tian left Lin Qingmeng's residence alone.
He was going to accomplish something, something very important.
Chu Tian came to a deep mountain on the outskirts of the capital.
This place is sparsely populated and the environment is quiet, making it an ideal place for hunting.
The purpose of Chu Tian's trip was to hunt.
However, the target he hunted was not an ordinary beast, but an extremely dangerous creature——
Monster!
Chu Tian took a deep breath, suppressed the restlessness in his heart, and gently pushed Lin Qingmeng away. Lin Qingmeng looked at him with infatuation, her cheeks flushed, like a peach bud about to bloom.
"Qingmeng, I..." Chu Tian wanted to explain something, but he didn't know where to start. His heart was full of contradictions and struggles. On the one hand, he longed to be with Lin Qingmeng and enjoy this hard-earned sweetness; on the other hand, he knew that he had a heavy responsibility and the road ahead was full of dangers and unknowns. He couldn't and shouldn't involve Lin Qingmeng.
"What's wrong, Chu Tian?" Lin Qingmeng saw Chu Tian hesitated to speak, and a sense of uneasiness suddenly arose in his heart.
"I...I have to go." Chu Tian avoided Lin Qingmeng's gaze, with a hint of determination in his tone.
"Go? Where are you going?" Lin Qingmeng grabbed Chu Tian's arm, her tone full of anxiety and uneasiness.
"I..." Chu Tian wanted to make up an excuse, but looking at Lin Qingmeng's clear eyes, he couldn't bear to lie to her. "I can't tell you, but don't worry, I'll be back soon."
"No, I won't let you go!" Lin Qingmeng's tears burst out instantly, "If you leave, does that mean you don't want me anymore? Do you like someone else?"
Chu Tian felt a pain in his heart and quickly explained: "No, Qingmeng, I'm not in love with anyone else, I just..."
"Then why can't you tell me where you are going? Why can't you take me with you?" Lin Qingmeng was a little excited, "Chu Tian, you were not like this before, what's wrong with you? Tell me!"
Chu Tian was silent. He didn't know how to explain to Lin Qingmeng. Should he tell her that he was going to kill someone who had been so kind to him? Should he tell her that his hands were already stained with blood and his soul had been devoured by hatred?
"Chu Tian, say something!" Lin Qingmeng felt even more uneasy when she saw Chu Tian not speaking.
Chu Tian took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down. He looked at Lin Qingmeng, his eyes full of guilt and tenderness.
"Qing Meng, I'm sorry, I can't tell you now, but I promise you, when I come back, I will tell you everything, okay?"
Lin Qingmeng looked at Chu Tian with tears in her eyes. She saw sincerity and helplessness in Chu Tian's eyes. She knew that Chu Tian must have something to hide, but he didn't want to say it, so she didn't force him.
"Then you must promise me that you will come back alive." Lin Qingmeng said while choking.
Chu Tian nodded solemnly and said, "I promise you."
He lowered his head and kissed Lin Qingmeng lightly on the forehead, then turned and left.
Lin Qingmeng stood there, watching Chu Tian's figure gradually disappear into the distance, tears blurring her eyes.
After Chu Tian left Lin Qingmeng's residence, he went straight to the deep mountains outside the city.
The purpose of his trip was to hunt a legendary spiritual beast - the red flame tiger.
The Red Flame Tiger is a spirit beast with fire attributes. It is extremely powerful and ferocious. Ordinary warriors are no match for it.
The reason why Chu Tian wanted to hunt the Red Flame Tiger was because he needed the Red Flame Tiger's demon pill to improve his own strength.
Although his current strength is much stronger than before, it is still far from enough.
He wants revenge, he wants to make those who have hurt him pay the price!
To do all this, he must be strong enough!
Chu Tian went deep into the mountains and forests and finally found the trace of the Red Flame Tiger in a valley.
The Red Flame Tiger is huge in size, emitting red flames all over its body, and its eyes are piercing and emitting a terrifying light.
Chu Tian took a deep breath, tightly gripped the sword in his hand, and slowly approached the Red Flame Tiger.
The Red Flame Tiger seemed to sense Chu Tian's presence. It slowly turned around and stared at Chu Tian with cold eyes.
A man and a tiger, their eyes met in the air, and a battle was about to break out!
Chu Tian felt a heat wave coming towards him, and the air around the Red Flame Tiger seemed to be burning.
He knew that this battle was inevitable.
The Red Flame Tiger took the lead in launching an attack. Its huge body pounced towards Chu Tian like a mountain, its bloody mouth opened wide, revealing its sharp fangs, as if it wanted to swallow Chu Tian in one bite.
Chu Tian did not dare to delay. He tapped the ground lightly with his toes and dodged to the side like a ghost, barely avoiding the attack of the Red Flame Tiger.
"Roar!"
