The Cultivator's Reborn to 1970s-Chapter 140 - 116

At this moment, Mo Junhua walked in from outside, and the three members of the Lin family stood up to look at him.

"Son-in-law, have you seen Miss Lan Tian? How is the young lady?" Granny Lin looked at Mo Junhua eagerly, wanting to know the condition of Lan Tian.

"She’s fine, just a bit tired and has fallen asleep," Mo Junhua nodded to both Granny Lin and Grandpa Lin.

Granny Lin, hearing that Lan Tian was fine, breathed a sigh of relief, her smile a bit forced, "As long as she’s fine, that’s good, that’s good."

"Granny Lin, Grandpa Lin, it has been a trouble these days for you and the aunts to take care of Lan Tian. I apologize for the inconvenience. I came today to take Lan Tian back; I’ve got the house in the military ready. I’m here to say goodbye, and in a while, Lan Tian and I will return to the military. As for Great Grandpa, please convey my regards to him, so he doesn’t worry back in Beijing."

"So soon? You won’t stay a few more days?" Granny Lin was surprised; they had previously agreed to stay for a while, but now their son-in-law was taking her away, could it be they were not satisfied with how they cared for Miss Lan Tian?

"It’s quite busy at the military base, my leave for these few months has ended. I only asked for a two-hour break this afternoon, and still need to rush back to the base. She is going to spend most of her life in the military, so it’s better for her to get there earlier and start adapting."

Grandpa Lin, who had been silent in the hall, suddenly spoke up, "That’s good, better for the couple to be together."

......

Little did Mo Junhua know, news of his marriage had spread throughout the battalion. He gently carried Lan Tian into the car, bid farewell to Grandpa Lin’s family, and hurried towards the military base.

This time, the sacrificial refining of the Divine Sense had taken a great toll on her spirit. Lan Tian was completely unconscious, allowing Mo Junhua to carry her into the car and drive to the military base.

The bumpy road made Lan Tian’s sleep restless, her head turning from side to side, trying to find a comfortable position. She hadn’t slept for long when her head bumped into the car window glass, nearly falling to the side, her frown tightening.

While driving, Mo Junhua kept an eye on Lan Tian, seeing her uncomfortably sleeping, he brought her over and let her lie sideways in his arms, her head resting on his leg. With a more comfortable place, Lan Tian in her sleep must have thought she was on a soft comforter, contentedly rubbing the ’comforter’, and deeply fell asleep.

As the car drove into the camp, Mo Junhua gently patted Lan Tian, who was asleep in his arms, asking her to wake up. It’s still necessary to be mindful of others in the military, as hugging Lan Tian out of the car in a public setting is an issue—though he isn’t bothered, he worries about her being thin-skinned and getting furious at him. In truth, he would prefer to carry her upstairs.

"Girl, wake up, we’re almost at the military base."

Having slept on the road for a few hours, she felt much better, her complexion wasn’t as pale, and the Sea of Consciousness didn’t hurt anymore, but still felt a bit swollen. Lan Tian gradually regained consciousness, hearing Mo Junhua calling her in a daze.

Opening her eyes and looking at him blankly, "What?"

"We’re almost at the military, we’re about to arrive home."

Just awakened, Lan Tian’s eyes were groggy, her hair a mess, her bewildered and naive appearance delighted Mo Junhua. He lifted his hand to tidy up her temples, tucking her fallen hair strand behind her ear, touched her face lightly, and his lips landed on her temple.

"Not awake yet? Want to sleep more?"

Lan Tian hummed in response and nodded, squinting her eyes and leaning on Mo Junhua’s shoulder, "Didn’t I get a chunk of iron? That one from the Antique Street, since Great Grandpa and the others are not around these days, no one will disturb me, so I decided to work on that Iron Chain to practice my skills."

Mo Junhua nodded, "So, you haven’t slept at all?"

Lan Tian squinted her eyes a bit, trying her best to stay alert.

"That chunk of iron is too important for me; I can’t afford any slipups. If something goes wrong on the way, it could be fatal. I have always been afraid of dying and don’t want to die; naturally, I need to focus fully. I don’t know how long it would take, so I haven’t slept. It’s fine, I’m just a bit fatigued, and my head is feeling swollen. I’ll be okay after some sleep."

Mo Junhua hummed and watched Lan Tian; she tilted her head and glanced at him, meaning if you have something to say, just say it. Why look at her that way? It seems like there’s something ambiguous between them?

After scraping Lan Tian’s cute nose, Mo Junhua retracted his gaze and continued to drive, glancing at Lan Tian from the corner of his eye and casually asked, "Did you finish it then?"

Lan Tian shook her head, "Not yet, how could it be so easy? That thing isn’t just an ordinary chunk of iron. It’s only a rudimentary shape now. To meet the standard in my mind, it will take a long time. I can’t rush it; I need to take things slow."

Mo Junhua looked down at Lan Tian leaning on him, the corners of his lips curling up.

The road conditions were rough, and Lan Tian was uncomfortable. She looked out, and the sights were all verdant forests, and in the distance stood an unbroken range of mountains.

The car turned into a grassy path in the woods, the dense forest obscuring all sight, with nothing but leaves to be seen when looking up.

"Where are we going?" Lan Tian asked, tilting her head.

A hint of amusement flashed in Mo Junhua’s eyes; the girl hadn’t heard a word he had just said, still as distractible as when she was a child. He rubbed the top of her head with his large hand.

"Back to the army."

"Back to the army?"

She had only slept for a while, and the place had changed; no wonder she hadn’t slept well. She was wondering why she had gone from sleeping in a bed to lying in a car.

Lan Tian sat up straight and looked outside the window. Besides trees, there were only more trees, and no villages or farmlands could be seen along the way.

Was this the way back to the army camp? She remembered the road to the camp wasn’t like this; that road was several meters wide, at least wide enough for two military vehicles to pass.

The path that Mo Junhua took was simply a grassy trail, deserted and increasingly remote.

"This is a shortcut; it cuts the journey by an hour and a half. I’ve taken it before, don’t worry, we won’t get lost." Seemingly noticing Lan Tian’s confusion, Mo Junhua explained.

They were heading back to the army camp; no wonder the Spiritual Energy was denser than in Shanghai. Her Dantian was craving this energy like a parched land yearns for rain, and upon encountering even a slightly denser Spiritual Energy, the Mixed Element Decision would involuntarily start operating and absorb the energy around her. Fortunate that this cultivation was not initiated by Lan Tian herself, these subtle changes hopefully went unnoticed by Mo Junhua.

Not entirely sure, Lan Tian glanced sideways at Mo Junhua. Seeing that he really didn’t notice, she breathed a sigh of relief, letting the Mixed Element Decision run its course.

Upon leaving the woods, she could faintly see smoke rising from another forest up ahead, almost hearing the disbanding chant after the drill had ended.

She was truly back at the army camp, back to the place that had confined her life like a cage in her past life.

Looking at that forest, behind it was the camp’s buildings. Lan Tian was filled with mixed emotions, her heart complex and bittersweet; she had become a Military Wife again in this life.

......

As soon as Mo Junhua left, the news spread throughout the camp: the battalion commander had gotten married. This sensational news spread quickly throughout the camp, even reaching the regiment, and everyone knew that the commander had taken leave to pick up his bride in Shanghai in the afternoon.

After the training, the drill ground still gathered quite a number of soldiers.

Some were exercising, some were sparring, others were running, stretching, standing at attention, practicing military boxing, and playing basketball – it was as if everyone was busier than ever, yet they would sneak peeks toward the gate time to time, presenting a whirlwind of activity.

"You’re not doing that move right; you should go higher." The instructed soldier rolled his eyes. Could you please not look at the gate when you say that? Also, telling me to reach higher while you push my hands to the sides – what’s that about?

The runners would collide with others or stray out of the track, tumbling onto the grass outside.

Those playing basketball, with a throw of the ball – "Thump" – not making the basket and sending it flying towards the group practicing military boxing, knocking a soldier to see stars and the world spinning.

The pair sparring would either land a fist on the other’s face or kick the other’s body, both ending up with bruised and swollen faces, quite a sight to behold.

"Is the news accurate? Did the battalion commander really go to pick up his bride? When will he be back?" complained the soldiers whose necks were getting sore from looking around.

"I don’t know, should be soon!" replied another soldier, scratching his head in confusion. "The commander is getting married? I thought he would remain a bachelor."

"Get lost, if you can get a wife, why can’t the commander?" his comrade retorted with a jesting reprimand.

"Here they come, here they come."

Suddenly someone shouted loudly, and the soldiers who had been chatting instantly turned in unison towards the gate, their movements uniform. Seeing the olive-colored military vehicle drive in, they collectively turned back to their activities, continuing to play basketball, spar, and practice. freēnovelkiss.com

......

The vehicle entered the army camp, the slogans on the roadside the same as in her past life. Not far ahead were the parade grounds for the various camps, next to which were the office buildings, and nearby them were the dormitory buildings of the camp; further away was the Military Building. Observing these familiar yet foreign places, Lan Tian didn’t know how to describe her feelings at that moment.

During the day, she had entered with Mo Junhua in full glory. So many people on the drill ground had seen them, making their relationship semi-public.
