"Knock knock!"
Just as Ling Feng was immersed in the joy of possessing the portal, a knock sounded at the door. Immediately afterward, Jia Liebi's voice came through.
"Young Master Ling, may I come in? I need to discuss something with you."
Ling Feng immediately retracted the portal, and the strange light inside the room disappeared. After tidying up slightly, Ling Feng called out, "Come in."
"Creak~"
The wooden door slowly opened, and Jia Liebi walked in, his old eyes scanning the surroundings, his brows slightly furrowed. Clearly, the strange light inside the room had caught his attention.
However, facing Ling Feng, Jia Liebi dared not ask too many questions. His furrowed brows relaxed, and looking at Ling Feng walking towards him, he went straight to the point.
"Young Master Ling, we've almost completely emptied the Xiao family's market business. Obaba has also joined our side; bringing down the Xiao family is just around the corner, but..."
Jia Liebi hesitated at the end. Ling Feng narrowed his eyes. He hated sudden interruptions and people dragging things out. His tone was somewhat impatient as he said,
"Just say what you have to say."
Hearing this, Jia Liebi didn't hesitate any longer and voiced his concerns. "Young Master Ling, destroying the Xiao family isn't difficult, but I'm afraid that man in black will step forward. I admit I'm far from matching his strength. If he intervenes, I fear everything we've done will be in vain, and we might even face our own deaths."
"Don't worry, that old guy won't act easily. He's afraid of making a scene and attracting enemies. And I've already sent people to find his enemies. By then, that old guy will be too busy to care about himself to interfere with the Xiao family's affairs."
Sitting down at the tea table in the dormitory, Ling Feng said calmly.
"Is what Young Master Ling saying true?"
Jia Liebi was still somewhat worried.
"Do you think I would lie to you?"
Ling Feng immediately turned his gaze to him, their eyes meeting. Looking into Ling Feng's deep eyes, Jia Liebi felt a strange sense of oppression. He forced a smile and said, "I was overthinking it." "
Jialebi, now that you're on board, do your job well. Don't overthink it. Quitting halfway will only do you harm."
Ignoring Jia Liebi's attitude, Ling Feng said calmly, "Besides, if that old man really stands up to help the Xiao family, do you think your Jia Lie family can remain unscathed? Your Jia Lie and Ao Ba families have been fighting the Xiao family for so long, do you think Xiao Zhan will let you off?"
His tone carried a clear warning.
After speaking, Ling Feng stood up abruptly, ignoring Jia Liebi's thoughts, and walked straight out of the room.
A smart person doesn't need many words to understand. Jia Liebi, being old and cunning, naturally understood Ling Feng's meaning.
You're already on board, so don't even think about getting off.
Getting off will only lead to death.
...
After leaving the room, Ling Feng went to his mother Liu Qingqing's bedroom for a routine greeting.
Afterwards, Ling Feng went to the Mittel Auction House and, as usual, flirted with Ya Fei, composing three hundred love poems, making the beauty blush and her heart flutter. It
wasn't until almost noon that Ling Feng finally left the Mittel Auction House, feeling incredibly pleased with himself.
However, just as Ling Feng was about to go home for lunch, a loud cry suddenly interrupted his journey.
"Li~"
Ling Feng looked up at the sky, and a shadow flashed across it. Upon closer inspection, he realized it was a bird.
"A Thick-winged Bird?"
Ling Feng murmured, watching the bird in the sky.
Thick-winged Birds weren't considered magical beasts; they were genuine birds of prey. They were extremely gentle and easily tamed by humans.
Generally, they were used as flying vehicles, much like the 'airplanes' of Ling Feng's previous life, flying around. This was why Ling Feng was able to see a Thick-winged Bird in Wutan City.
"Flying?"
Watching the Thick-winged Bird's figure gradually disappear into the distance, Ling Feng felt a strange longing. "I really want to experience the feeling of soaring."
Suddenly, a thought struck him. "That's right, I can fly too!"
Seemingly having made up his mind, Ling Feng ran towards the outskirts of Wutan City.
Wutan City, outskirts.
Ling Feng looked around, and seeing no one, he took out the Creation Brush and, using the heavens and earth as his canvas, began to sketch creation.
Soon, the initial shape of a round, green chick appeared. Ling Feng, with a stroke of his Creation Brush, imbued it with the essence of life.
"It's done!"
Looking at the round chick lying on the ground, Ling Feng's face lit up with joy. "This is the Extreme Speed Flying Chicken? I wonder how effective it is?" He
crouched down, patting and rubbing the Extreme Speed Flying Chicken's head, a hint of doubt on his face. "Looking at its round shape, it doesn't seem like it can fly..."
Just as he finished speaking, the Extreme Speed Flying Chicken suddenly took off with a 'biu', grabbing Ling Feng's belt and carrying him away.
"Whoa whoa whoa... Help! Put me down!!!"
Suddenly lifted into the air, Ling Feng's expression changed drastically, and he couldn't help but scream in terror. Especially seeing the scene rushing past below while upside down filled him with dread.
However, the Extreme Speed Flying Chicken ignored him completely, carrying Ling Feng away quickly. They traversed various paths and entered a forest.
Finally, the Extreme Speed Flying Chicken brought Ling Feng to a clearing in the woods. Ling Feng, still shaken by the landing, felt his initial desire to soar vanish instantly.
He grabbed the Speedy Little Flying Chicken, giving it a vicious, retaliatory squeeze.
"You little brat! I told you to stop, stop! You wouldn't listen! You almost pulled down my pants! I'm going to strangle you!"
Under Ling Feng's wrath, the Speedy Little Flying Chicken quickly and gloriously 'sacrificed,' disappearing into the darkness like a blur.
"Roar~"
Suddenly, a beastly roar startled Ling Feng, jolting him out of his negative emotions and making him wary. "Where am I? Could there be some high-level magical beast?"
Arriving in an unfamiliar place, especially one with unknown dangers, Ling Feng was understandably nervous. However, his past experiences had honed his courage; he wouldn't panic in the face of danger, but would instead be cautious and calm.
Keeping his eyes and ears open, Ling Feng cautiously advanced, trying to escape this dangerous place.
Just then, a cry for help suddenly rang out.
Ling Feng frowned slightly, looking in the direction of the sound, but saw no one. However, a slight tremor began to emanate from the ground. Instantly, Ling Feng became alert, clenching his fists and fixing his hawk-like eyes on the front, entering a fighting stance.
The tremors grew stronger, and then, in Ling Feng's line of sight, a girl dressed in a clean white dress suddenly appeared, carrying a small basket on her back.
At that moment, the girl was running frantically towards Ling Feng, as if something terrifying was chasing her...
