Chapter 578: Heading to the Western Wilderness!
Chapter 578: Heading to the Western Wilderness!
With Yan Cangtian back in seclusion, Ling Feng naturally wasn't idle either.
There were still over twenty days left before the end of the break, just enough time to accompany Tuoba Cheng, the visitor from Wangduan Mountain, on a journey.
Since fate had led the Book of Tiance to fall into his hands, it was proof that he shared some connection with the Tiance Clan. This was something that couldn't be avoided.
Before long, Ling Feng went to the Lin family's casino and found Tuoba Cheng. Upon explaining his intentions, Tuoba Cheng couldn't contain his excitement.
"Master, you're really willing to go back to Wangduan Mountain with me?"
Tuoba Cheng looked at Ling Feng with excitement, nearly bursting into tears as he almost clung to Ling Feng's leg in public.
"Who's your master?"
Ling Feng was speechless. This guy was like a persistent piece of gum that he just couldn't shake off.
"Of course, it's you. The wise, invincible, and unparalleled genius, you, Master!" Tuoba Cheng grinned shamelessly.
"..."
Ling Feng rolled his eyes. This level of flattery is probably the best in the world.
Ignoring this first-rate flatterer, Ling Feng turned to the Lin sisters. With Tuoba Cheng's help over the past few months, business at the Lin family's casino had been booming.
After all, with Tuoba Cheng, the so-called God of Gambling, presiding over the casino, even those who didn't gamble would come to witness his prowess. With so many visitors, it was impossible for business not to thrive.
"Lady Lin, how's little Ling'er doing?" Ling Feng smiled as he asked Lin Moyun.
"That little girl is fine."
Before Lin Moyun could respond, Lin Moyao chuckled, "She's just been complaining every day that her big brother hasn't come to visit her in a long time."
"I'll be sure to visit her when I have time." Ling Feng thought for a moment, and then asked, "By the way, have Mochen and the brothers from the East Court Sword Team returned yet?"
"Not yet," Lin Moyao shook her head. "At the start of the break, that kid was taken to the Fearsome Forest by Captain Gu. They won't be back until the two-month break ends."
Ling Feng touched his nose. The sword team members had also learned about his duel with Yan Jinghong. What surprised Ling Feng was that they didn't blame him for making the decision on his own. Instead, they all expressed their determination to fight alongside him no matter what!
Even Li Bufan, the usually cold and silent one, showed his support through his actions.
However, to challenge the Royal Sword Team, they first had to defeat all the sword teams from the four major academies in the imperial capital to earn the right to challenge them.
But given the current level of the East Court Sword Team, that goal seemed like a distant dream.
So, to reach that level, they had to train as hard as possible and improve their strength in the shortest time.
With this goal in mind, everyone on the sword team was giving it their all.
"I'm sure that when they return, they'll give me a big surprise."
Ling Feng smiled faintly, confident in his belief. Unfortunately, due to various reasons, he couldn't train with them.
"It's rare to see that kid working so hard," Lin Moyao smiled sweetly.
"Well, since everyone's working hard, I can't waste any more time either," Ling Feng chuckled. "Lady Lin, Mrs. Lin, I'll be taking my leave now!"
"Leaving already?" Lin Moyao bit her lip, giving Ling Feng a lingering look.
"Yes, please send my regards to little Ling'er." Ling Feng cupped his hands in a fist-and-palm salute to the Lin sisters before turning away without looking back, calling out to Tuoba Cheng, "Tuoba Cheng, let's go!"
Tuoba Cheng quickly followed Ling Feng, and as he passed by the Lin sisters, he couldn't help but grin and say, "Boss ladies, I'm leaving! Don't miss me too much!"
"Miss you? What nonsense!" Lin Moyao spat playfully, muttering under her breath, "If anyone's worth missing, it's Mr. Ling..."
Before she could finish her sentence, her face flushed red like a ripe apple.
"Hehe, someone's lovestruck," Lin Moyun teased with a rare display of girlish mischief, causing Lin Moyao to pout. "Sister, even you're teasing me!"
...
At Wangduan Mountain, located in the Western Wilderness of the Tianbai Empire. n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
After leaving the imperial capital through the west gate and entering the forest, Ling Feng immediately summoned his despicable donkey.
Saving time on the journey was crucial, and with the demon emperor-level speed of the donkey, he couldn't let it go to waste.
"Wow... wow... a donkey!" Tuoba Cheng was startled. A donkey walking upright was indeed shocking.
To make things even funnier, the donkey was holding a small cub in its arms, making it look rather ridiculous.
"Your sister's a donkey!"
The despicable donkey glared at Tuoba Cheng while releasing its demon emperor aura, which frightened Tuoba Cheng even more.
"A talking donkey!"
Well, it seemed Tuoba Cheng wasn't focusing on the right thing.
Ling Feng was a bit dumbfounded as he looked at the despicable donkey. His gaze was drawn to the donkey's chest, and he was left speechless.
It turned out that the despicable donkey had been carrying little Qiongqi around all this time. The little creature had somehow mistaken the donkey for its mother and was constantly biting the donkey's chest, leaving it swollen and red.
The despicable donkey had struggled for a while and eventually used some spirit liquid as a substitute for milk to feed little Qiongqi, finally breaking the creature of its habit.
However, the marks on its chest wouldn't be going away anytime soon.
"Pfft... hahahaha!"
Ling Feng tried to hold back, but in the end, he couldn't help but burst out into laughter. It was rare to see the despicable donkey suffer like this!
"Stop laughing already! One more laugh, and this divine beast will bite you to death, woof!"
Cough, cough...
Ling Feng took several deep breaths to suppress his laughter, and then cleared his throat and said, "Alright, let's not waste any more time."
Pretending to be serious, he introduced the two to each other. "This is Tuoba Cheng from Wangduan Mountain. And this here is the despicable donkey, whom I guess you could call my partner."
"Gulp."
Tuoba Cheng swallowed nervously and stared curiously at the black donkey in front of him. He was baffled as he asked, "Master, how did this black donkey manage to give birth to a little tiger? This is truly a wonder of the world!"
"The story is a bit complicated. Let's discuss it as we travel."
Ling Feng cleared his throat, quickly changing the topic to avoid angering the donkey. He urged, "Despicable Donkey, take us to the Western Wilderness."
"Do you really think this divine beast is just your errand boy?"
The despicable donkey looked displeased, grumbling, "Brat, get it straight. I'm the boss here, and you're just a follower under this divine beast, got it!?"
"Fine, fine. Oh great divine donkey, please take your little follower to the Western Wilderness!"
Ling Feng rolled his eyes. After spending so much time with the despicable donkey, he knew exactly what was going on in its head.
The donkey clearly wanted to show off in front of Tuoba Cheng and make it known that it was the one in charge!
If it wanted recognition, Ling Feng was willing to play along.
"That's more like it!"
The despicable donkey snorted and summoned its demonic essence. A black cloud formed beneath them, lifting the two men and the donkey into the air before speeding off towards the west.
