Chapter 1081: New Mission
Chapter 1081: New Mission
Ling Feng already knew there were other worlds; hence, he was not too surprised, just nodding his head.
Then he said, "So, does that mean their world is full of monsters and demons?"
"More or less. It’s quite a peculiar world where animals and plants possess spiritual essence and can improve through cultivation. Many creatures with Spiritual Wisdom have already emerged," came the reply.
Chen Ping paused for a moment before continuing: "However, you don’t need to worry too much. The channel cannot be opened at just any time, and it’s not easy for them to come to our world. The difficulty is quite substantial!"
"Is it because the exit of the channel is in space?" Ling Feng asked.
"Correct!"
Ling Feng made a sound of acknowledgment, then asked, "Although it seems not to be a huge problem, it is still a threat, right?"
"Yes, the main headquarters have already established a Demon Realm project team and allocated some cutting-edge technology to them, specifically to monitor this issue," Chen Ping said.
"Then I am relieved!"
Ling Feng smiled, stood up, and said, "Is there anything else? I brought two guests with me this time and would like to take them back to the village to visit."
Chen Ping glared at him, "What’s the rush? I haven’t finished speaking yet!"
"What else is there?" Ling Feng asked somewhat helplessly as he sat back down.
"The incident with the Xinglong Gang has had a very negative impact, so now you have a new mission to carry out as soon as possible," Chen Ping said.
"Uh...."
Ling Feng thought to himself, aren’t there other people for such tasks? Why always fleece me?
While he inwardly complained, he didn’t show it and simply asked, "What’s the mission?"
"Find Longyu!"
"What?"
Ling Feng’s eyes suddenly widened: "You know where that guy is hiding?"
"The exact area has not been determined yet, but we’ve almost narrowed it down to the mountainous region in the central part of Huaxia," Chen Ping said.
"Boss, my home is in the mountains. Do you think it’s that easy to find someone in the mountains?" Ling Feng said helplessly.
Chen Ping gave him a look: "I know you’re reluctant, but this mission is tailor-made for you, given that you were the one who first discovered their existence!"
"...."
Seeing his speechless reaction, Chen Ping continued: "Tell you what, I promise you, after capturing Longyu or dismantling his organization, you can take a long vacation."
Eagerly, Ling Feng asked, "How long?"
"Well, if nothing major happens, you can rest for half a year!" said Chen Ping.
"That’s more like it!"
Ling Feng nodded and then said, "I can’t leave immediately for this mission anyway. I need to settle my family matters first!"
"Fine, as you wish. Just come to find me before you leave!" Chen Ping said.
After the matters were discussed, Ling Feng left Longyuan and returned to the Ling family’s skyscraper.
He went upstairs to the reception room to find that Duan Feihong and Yang Guang weren’t there, and neither was Mo Jiaolan.
Ling Feng had no choice but to ask the staff, who informed him that they had gone to see Gu Li.
By the time he arrived, he saw everybody gathered together.
The crowd was packed tight, three layers inside and three layers outside. Ling Feng couldn’t see what was happening inside and asked, "What are you all doing?"
Hearing his voice, people turned their heads while Gu Li shouted from the middle of the crowd, "Boss, come quick, this girl is amazing!"
"Who?"
Ling Feng was surprised and walked through the path that the crowd made for him.
He found that everyone was watching Yang Guang, who was busy marking things on a map.
Looking down, he saw many intricate lines drawn by her on the map, but he could not make sense of them, so Ling Feng asked, "What is this?"
"A map of malevolent energy flow."
Yang Guang said with her head bowed.
Ling Feng really wanted to ask what that was, but Mo Jiaolan stopped him with a look.
After that, she motioned for Ling Feng to go outside to talk, and the two of them went to the entrance together.
"What’s up?"
"It’s nothing, I was just afraid you’d disturb Yang Guang. I have a feeling that if nothing goes wrong, she could almost help us resolve the zombie incident!" Mo Jiaolan said.
"Really? She’s that amazing?" Ling Feng said in amazement.
Mo Jiaolan glanced at him, "It’s someone you found, don’t you know?"
"I just didn’t expect her to be that impressive. Gu Li and the others have been busy for days without any results!" Ling Feng said with a laugh.
"Yang Guang pointed out right away that they were looking in the wrong direction, there was no need to check the video footage and suspicious individuals!" Mo Jiaolan stated.
Ling Feng was taken aback: "Then how should we investigate?"
"With this, you dummy!"
The still bowing Yang Guang said a sentence, startling everyone and then they all covered their mouths, snickering uncontrollably.
Because in everyone’s eyes, Ling Feng was like a god-like figure, and seeing him being scolded by a young girl felt oddly entertaining.
Ling Feng could only smile, then turned to Mo Jiaolan and asked, "What about Feihong?"
"She and Bai Ling went to the hotel. Once she found out the other person is the boss of a five-star hotel in Capital City, that girl clung to them to learn from their experience," Mo Jiaolan said.
"Impressive, as soon as these two dared to come here, they instantly found a use for themselves!" Ling Feng laughed.
"Right? How was your time in Capital City this time?" Mo Jiaolan asked.
"Thrilling but no danger!"
Ling Feng smiled and took her hand, saying, "Let’s go, we can talk upstairs."
"But what about over here?"
Mo Jiaolan pointed at the people in the room, including Yang Guang.
Ling Feng looked at Gu Li, "If this girl helps us find the culprit later, don’t forget to properly thank her. No need for anything else, just prepare a feast for ten!"
"Oh, got it."
Gu Li was somewhat confused but still nodded immediately in agreement.
Afterward, Ling Feng and Mo Jiaolan went upstairs, and as soon as they entered the door, he couldn’t wait to embrace her tightly.
Mo Jiaolan was startled and turned back in astonishment, "You asked me upstairs just for this?"
"Hehe, I’ve missed you for several days, shall we go to the inner room?" Ling Feng said eagerly.
"Uh, in broad daylight, you..."
Mo Jiaolan didn’t finish her sentence before Ling Feng’s mouth covered hers.
Following that, he swept her off her feet, and they kissed each other while moving into the inner room’s resting space.
Long after the storm had passed, Ling Feng held the softened Mo Jiaolan in his arms: "I’ll have to leave again in a few days?"
"Really? Where to this time?" Mo Jiaolan lifted her head and asked.
"Deep in the mountains, probably somewhere around the Shennong area," Ling Feng said.
Mo Jiaolan was surprised, "I’ve heard about that place; I remember when I was young, there were often talks about sightings of wild men there!"
"Yeah, I’ve heard of it too. This time going there, maybe I’ll be able to unravel the mystery of whether wild men really exist," Ling Feng said.
"Oh, who knows how many days you’ll be gone this time?"
Mo Jiaolan lightly drew circles on Ling Feng’s chest with her finger, asking softly.
"Yes, but no worries. I’m planning to set up a Teleportation Array, carry it with me, and will be able to teleport back anytime, anywhere!" Ling Feng said with a smile.
"That’s good, it will be much more convenient!" Mo Jiaolan nodded.
