Chapter 389: Chapter 193 Bathing at Goddess’s house?_2

Ling Menglu gave him a blank look, "Why aren’t you acting calm as you usually do when you’re leading the team?"

Long Dangdang chuckled, "It’s just the two of us brother and sister here, why should I maintain my composure? I keep a steady demeanor in front of everyone to give them a greater sense of trust. But when it’s just us, all you see is Long Dangdang."

Ling Menglu showed a satisfied smile, "You haven’t answered my question, Long Never Reveal All."

Long Dangdang replied, "I want to go to the Temple to learn some skills. We have the token for the reserve Sacred Legate, which allows us to study directly. I’m increasingly feeling that my abilities are insufficient, whether as a knight or with my magic. Blood Refining Golden Body allows me to endure the state of Icy Moon Angel for some time, but in that 7th Rank state, my performance is simply not at the 7th Rank level of strength. I can’t elementalize, and as for skills, I’m still mainly using 5th Rank abilities. For 6th Rank, I have only the Sacred Sword. This is far from enough for the team. Otherwise, with the fusion of the three great Wisdom Spirit Furnaces and even at the boundary of the 7th Rank, restraining a Level 9 Magical Beast should not be that difficult."

Ling Menglu nodded, "It is indeed a shortcoming that you need to make up for. However, it also demonstrates the drawbacks of simultaneously cultivating both magic and knighthood. You don’t have enough time to specialize in the skills of both professions, especially since you’re only fifteen. I think, if you want to improve in a shorter period of time, you need to consider specializing in one of the professions first."

Long Dangdang frowned slightly. He understood Ling Menglu’s point. From the perspective of the team, improving his knightly abilities is key, but becoming a Mage is a dream he’s had since childhood. To tell the truth, it’s somewhat hard for him to choose.

"All right, let’s get back, take a bath, rest a bit and then talk some more. You mustn’t always be so tense, we’re still young, we don’t have to bear the weight of the world, do we?"

Hep’s Ribs Shop.

Hep Benn sat behind a dining table, her white, lotus-like arms propped on the tabletop, her palms supporting her cheeks, her beautiful big eyes were somewhat vacant, lost in some thoughts. Occasionally, the corners of her mouth would curve slightly into a faint smile.

"Sister Hep, I’m back!" A loud shout suddenly rang out, Hep Benn frowned a little, but in the blink of an eye, her pretty face broke into a radiant smile.

The door opened, and Long Kongkong rushed in energetically from outside. The moment he saw the girl sitting behind the table, he paused.

The sunlight streamed in through the window, illuminating her side face, casting a glowing light on her fair cheeks, and seemingly adding a layer of brightness to her smile.

She looked at him with a smile, furrowed her brows slightly, "You have been training all day, yet you’re still so impulsive?"

It took a moment for Long Kongkong to react. He scratched his head with a sheepish smile, "Sis, you don’t know how at home I felt when I saw the signboard of our shop. I was worried that you wouldn’t be off school yet, but it turns out you are already back. Where’s Uncle Hep?"

Hep Benn replied, "He’s out buying ingredients. Why are you back so early? I thought you said it would be three months?"

Long Kongkong responded with pride, "Because we performed so well, they gave us two days off. Didn’t I rush back to see you as soon as I could? Is there anything that needs to be done in the shop? I can help you with it."

Hep Benn shook her head with a smile, "No, not really. Are you hungry? I’ll go make something for you to eat."

As if provoked, Long Kongkong’s stomach immediately growled. He gulped, "Is there any rice left?"

Hep Benn replied, "Take a rest first, it will be ready soon." As she spoke, she had already turned around and headed for the kitchen.

As he watched her disappear into the kitchen, Long Kongkong couldn’t help but slap his own face twice, muttering to himself, "Long Kongkong, Long Kongkong, where’s your social adeptness? Didn’t you plan to rush over and give her a hug if you saw her? Uncle Hep is not here, it was such a good opportunity, and you chickened out. You’re really something!"

Before long, Hep Benn had carried out a pot of steaming ribs and a large bowl of rice. She had also made a vegetable soup for him. Long Kongkong wanted to help, but Hep Benn stopped him.

In the magical beasts forest, they had to camp out and could only eat the dry rations they brought along. If they wanted something hot, they had to warm it up with magic. Looking at the steaming, fragrant ribs in front of him now, Long Kongkong’s mouth was watering. Without any hesitation, he started indulging himself in the food, savoring the sweetness with relish.

Hep Benn was sitting opposite him, looking at his messy eating manner, a smile showing at the corner of his mouth. Long Kongkong seemed a bit darker than before, and he looked a bit stronger. His hair was a bit messy and he still had the smell of plants on him.

In just a short while, Long Kongkong finished all the food, not leaving a single drop of soup.

After devouring everything, he leaned back in his chair, contentment written all over his face, "It’s so delicious, our home-cooked ribs are the best! I wouldn’t trade them for any delicacies."

Speaking, his eyelids moved, indicating that he was sleepy. The past month of hard training, with his nerves on edge most of the time, especially in the end, facing the pressure of the Level 9 magical beast, although he wasn’t the main power in the fight, the sudden outburst of his bloodline, and the constant pressure to face a tough enemy, had tired him out.

"Kongkong, Kongkong..." He was awakened from his dozing by a voice calling him.

"Ah? Ah, Sister Hep, I almost fell asleep. I’m sorry, I’m sorry, let me help you clean up." While talking, Long Kongkong stood up and began to clean up the dishes and spoons.

Hep Benn caught his sleeve and said, "Don’t clean up yet. You’re tired from the training. It’s finally your holiday, what you need now is to get some rest. Take a bath and take a good sleep. That’s what matters most."

"But I don’t want to sleep!" Long Kongkong almost blurted out. He only had a day and a half to rest, and he wanted to enjoy as much time as possible with his goddess.

Hep Benn chided, "Your health is the most important. Don’t treat yourself badly. Follow me." As she spoke, she pulled him out of the rib shop entrance by his sleeve.

After closing the shop door and locking it, she pulled Long Kongkong and started walking in a certain direction. After walking for a few steps, Hep Benn seemed to realize something and let go of his sleeve.

Long Kongkong recognized this way because he had walked it before, it’s the way to Hep Benn’s!

"Sister Hep..." Long Kongkong called out.

Hep Benn ignored him and kept walking. Long Kongkong didn’t call again, just followed her, looking at her wonderful silhouette, his eyes already filled with satisfaction. It’s really good that he could see her right after he came back.

When Hep Benn stopped, Long Kongkong was surprised to find that his goddess was indeed bringing him home.

She opened the door of the small courtyard and went in first. Although Long Kongkong had taken her home a few times, it was his first time to set foot in her house.

The small courtyard wasn’t big, only a few dozen square meters, but it was clean and comfortable. A quarter of it was the lawn and a maple tree was planted on one side. In this season, the maple leaves were turning red. A few stone chairs were stacked under the maple tree. The other side of the courtyard had a well, the water from which flowed out and ran through a bamboo tube on one side, generating a slight sound. The overflowing water from the bamboo pipe would flow back into the well through another bamboo pipe, without any waste. The flowing water added a sense of vitality to the small courtyard, making people feel relaxed.

Hep Benn went to the well and washed her hands. Shaking off the water droplets, she turned to look at the stunned Long Kongkong, "Stop staring, go take a bath first."

"What?" Taking a bath? In his goddess’s home?

Long Kongkong’s face turned red, and he felt so awkward he didn’t even know where to put his hands.
