Chapter 1131 - 1129: Should I Take Her In?
"This... is my fault, but it’s not yet time for the three of you elders to step in. However, since you’re so eager, getting acquainted a bit earlier is also fine." Hearing the three elders’ words, Lin Feng became speechless, having not expected the three of them to be quite so impatient. Since that was the case, it might be good to make their acquaintance sooner. With this thought, Lin Feng waved his hand after speaking, and the children immediately ran over.
After the children came over, Lin Feng began to introduce them proactively: "Call them grandpas. In a while, these three will teach you some other things."
"Grandpa, hello!"
"Grandpa, hello!"
"Grandpa, hello!"
...
Hearing Lin Feng’s words, the children all paid their respects to the three elders one after another, and greeted them very respectfully, showing their best polite manners. In fact, they had already cultivated good manners in the Hidden World and would not treat the elders differently just because they were secular mortals. It was already just a habit for the children.
"Good, these little ones are really nice."
"Good, they have manners, much better than my rough and unrefined subordinates."
"Manners, indeed very good!"
...
As soon as the three elders heard the children’s greetings, all three of them immediately smiled, looking at all the lively and spirited children before them, feeling immensely happy in their hearts. They had not expected these children to be so polite, which made them extremely fond of the children, so much so that their old faces were almost bursting into a bloom of smiles.
"You all go back to continue training." After the children had finished their greetings, Lin Feng sent them back to train and then accompanied the three elders back to where they were staying.
Back at their residence, the three elders chatted casually with Lin Feng.
"Lin Feng, this place is really nice. I can clearly feel that my body is much more relaxed than before."
"Yeah, I feel the same way. Some of the chronic issues with my body have disappeared. That Formation you mentioned, it’s really amazing!"
"This place is truly different. Dear grandson-in-law, it looks like we three old timers can live a little longer!"
"Of course, with the nourishment of the Spiritual Energy, the issues with your bodies will fade more and more. Living here for over a hundred years won’t be a problem at all."
"Where did you learn these Formations from? From your master?"
"Yes, although my master never really taught me directly, I’ve learned by reading books..."
...
The three elders were genuinely happy as they chatted with Lin Feng, not expecting that at their age, they would encounter such a thing that prolonged life, which they cared about the most. Who wouldn’t want to live longer? It’s only human nature. But in their hearts, they truly felt thankful towards Lin Feng. Without Lin Feng, none of this would have been possible.
After chatting, the elders pestered Lin Feng to play chess for a while before he could leave. Scanning the children training, Lin Feng walked over, having sensed that Ding Wan’er and Leng Mei had arrived. As a husband, of course, he naturally had to go and greet them.
After meeting up, Lin Feng led Ding Wan’er and Leng Mei towards where the elders were staying. Just as they reached the children’s training grounds, he asked Ding Wan’er and Leng Mei to stop. Both women were stunned to see the scene of the group of children training; they really hadn’t expected the children’s training to be so intense...
"Lin Feng, is it not a problem for the children to train so intensively?"
"Yeah, these children are still too young, isn’t this a bit too much?"
...
Unable to contain themselves, Ding Wan’er and Leng Mei expressed their concerns to Lin Feng. They hadn’t been to the Hidden World for several days and knew that these children were students Lin Feng had taken under his wing in the Hidden World. But they never imagined the children’s training would be so formidable, looking as if they won’t rest until exhausted. They found it very strange how these children had persisted.
From their point of view, the children’s training regimen was indeed too intense, which even adult experts might not be able to sustain. If anything happened to these children here, Lin Feng would certainly be implicated, and they did not want to see such a thing happen.
"You two needn’t worry, with Xia Lalan here to watch over them, the children won’t have any problems." Hearing what the two women said, Lin Feng nodded, explaining that he had long since arranged the children’s training and with Xia Lalan there, nothing could go wrong.
Soon as Lin Feng said this, the two women realized the children would indeed be alright, then they glanced at Xia Lalan, with a complex smile appearing on their faces. They had been busy with other matters these past two days and hadn’t had time to come here to see the grandpas. They never expected the children Lin Feng was training to have become so formidable. But there was a bit of an issue with Xia Lalan, and of course, as women, they understood what it was.
"Lin Feng, the children’s strength is truly exaggerated. Were they always this formidable?"
"Basically, yes. The Hidden World is different from the Secular World; the starting point is higher there, and the Spiritual Energy is much stronger than in the Secular World."
"Oh, I see."
"What exactly is Xia Lalan’s strength? We can’t tell."
"She’s at the Middle Stage of the Transcendent Realm. In the terms used in the Secular World, that would be considered mid S-rank."
"Is... she really that skilled of a martial artist?"
...
Afterward, the two women chatted with Lin Feng while walking towards the villa where the three elders lived. They were truly surprised today, not expecting to encounter such an event, which made them even more curious about the Hidden World.
Who is this woman?
Xia Lalan also saw Ding Wan’er and Leng Mei’s arrival. She knew Ding Wan’er, aware that she was Lin Feng’s wife, but she didn’t recognize Leng Mei and could only wildly guess. But she had seen Lin Feng’s affectionate behavior with the two women, so it was obvious this woman who suddenly appeared must also be Lin Feng’s wife.
The moment Xia Lalan thought of this, her heart suddenly felt uncomfortable. She knew that a person like Lin Feng couldn’t possibly have just one wife. In the Hidden World, a true powerhouse always had more than one woman by his side. Yet, even though she knew this, a sour feeling suddenly emerged in her heart...
...
Lin Feng led the two women back to the villa of the three elders, which made the three old men even happier, insisting that Lin Feng cook some dishes so they could enjoy a good drink. Lin Feng couldn’t refuse such a request, so off he went to the kitchen, leaving the two women to chat with the three elders.
"Girl Ding, when are you going to put in some effort and give us three old men a grandson, huh?"
"Grandpa Qian, this isn’t a matter of effort."
"It’s not just me, all three of us old men hope you girls quickly give us grandsons."
"Grandpa, there’s not much we can do about this."
"Where there’s a will, there’s a way. You just have to work a bit harder, let Lin Feng do that thing more often, wouldn’t that solve it?"
"Grandpa..."
...
The three old men, looking at Ding Wan’er and Leng Mei, each expressed their desire for them to hurry up and have children so they could enjoy the happiness of a family. Even though the two women understood the feelings of the elders, this wasn’t something they could simply resolve by putting in more effort. For the time being, the women could only deal with the elders and hope that Lin Feng would come out soon to help them.
"Those three old men."
Lin Feng in the kitchen, had long used his Divine Sense to understand the situation in the living room, and couldn’t help but laugh and talk to himself. Really, these old men are just impossible, acting as if they could force this sort of thing...
Soon enough, the meal was ready, and the three old men brought out the liquor, and they all started to drink.
"To the three grandpas, our children will need your guidance in the future. You’ll be busy then. For now, I’ll raise a toast to you."
"Good, good! We three old men are free anyway, and it’s only right that we help out."
"Speaking of, these youngsters are really darn good, I like them more and more."
"We’re all family here, no need for formalities. If we can contribute in our twilight years, it makes us happy."
...
Because of previous events, Lin Feng intentionally steered the conversation to the children during the drinking, which got the three elders off the backs of the two women. Both women breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Lin Feng with eyes filled with deep affection.
Before they knew it, the dinner party was over. Because their health had improved, Lin Feng let the three elders drink a bit more, and at this time they all felt sleepy and went to rest. Leng Mei and Ding Wan’er cleaned up with Lin Feng, and the three returned to the small villa next to the main building.
Lin Feng watched TV with the two women, filling their hearts with warmth. As they watched, Leng Mei remembered the previous conversation she had with Lin Feng.
"Lin Feng, about the arrangements to hire some teachers, I’m almost ready. When do you think we can start classes?" Leng Mei looked at Lin Feng with a smile, she was that kind of person who couldn’t keep work matters to herself.
"Anytime soon is fine, you arrange it." Lin Feng looked at Leng Mei and said lightly. Recently, he had his own plans, but he couldn’t neglect the school matters either. He had to first cultivate some good teachers, making future matters easier to handle.
"Okay then, I’ll go arrange it." Hearing Lin Feng’s affirmative answer, Leng Mei smiled, briefly agreed, and also looked forward to what kind of scene it would be when Lin Feng taught a class.
No sooner had Leng Mei finished speaking, Ding Wan’er chimed in.
"Lin Feng, what do you think about Xia Lalan?" Staring at Lin Feng, the expression on Ding Wan’er’s face was filled with a peculiar smile.
"Right, I think that girl is pretty decent." At this moment, Leng Mei also inserted a comment. She, of course, understood the smile on Ding Wan’er’s face and wanted to test Lin Feng.
"Don’t tease." Hearing the two women say this, Lin Feng was immediately speechless, saying only a word before staying silent. If he said too much now, it would just lead to misunderstandings.
"I’m not joking. That Xia Lalan really is great. She’s very strong and a kind-hearted person. How about you take her in?" Seeing Lin Feng’s reaction, Ding Wan’er covered her mouth and giggled before continuing. That was her thought, based on past experiences, women who interacted with Lin Feng often couldn’t escape entering this circle. Although she hadn’t interacted much with Xia Lalan, she felt she was a very nice person, and it would be good to take her in.
"Yes, Girl Ding, I feel the same. If Lin Feng takes her in, I have no objections." Leng Mei said with a laugh on the side, just like Ding Wan’er, she also liked Xia Lalan very much. If Lin Feng liked her, then taking Xia Lalan in wouldn’t be an issue. After all, there were already so many women now, adding one more wouldn’t make much difference.
