Chapter 1179: Modifying the Wager
Ling Feng listened with a speechless expression and glared at Yang Guang: "You little brat, how do you know about everything?"
"Mature early!" Yang Guang pouted.
"I’m heading off now. When I win the money, I’ll come find you!"
Ling Feng didn’t continue bickering with her and got up to leave.
He didn’t return to Mo Jiaolan’s side but teleported directly to the hotel on Ao Island.
In the room, there was only Yu Linglong, standing by the window, staring blankly at the sea across from her.
When she saw Ling Feng return, Yu Linglong smiled and said, "Why were you gone for so long?"
"Had a lot of things to deal with!"
Ling Feng chuckled as he stepped forward and wrapped an arm around her shoulders: "Missed me, didn’t you?"
"Of course not."
Yu Linglong responded, then asked, "How are things progressing?"
"The contract is fine, I’m ready to sign it, but the stakes need to be raised!" Ling Feng answered.
"Oh."
Yu Linglong wasn’t particularly concerned about these matters and simply nodded.
Ling Feng, holding her shoulders and feeling her warmth, hesitated before asking, "Did Ling Yao return to the Nine Heavens?"
Yu Linglong nodded: "Yes."
"What about Yi Tong? Where did she go?" Ling Feng continued asking.
"She went back to Harbor Island. There’s an important event she couldn’t avoid and had to attend," Yu Linglong replied.
Ling Feng relaxed at this point, certain that no one would interrupt him and her today. He let out a sly laugh: "I just went to see Yang Guang!"
"Oh? What happened?"
Hearing him change the topic, Yu Linglong turned to him with a puzzled look.
"Han Chang came prepared. Either he found some master to assist him or has a method to prevent me from using my Divine Sense. So this round of betting will likely hinge purely on luck," Ling Feng explained.
"Really? So Yang Guang helped you change your fortune?" Yu Linglong asked.
"More or less."
Ling Feng pondered for a moment: "She told me about a method, but for it to work, I’ll need your cooperation!"
"Me?"
Yu Linglong was taken aback, looking at Ling Feng with some confusion.
"Yes, because you have a lucky streak for your husband..."
After explaining further, Ling Feng slowly leaned closer to her face: "Only, you’re still not truly my woman yet..."
Yu Linglong’s face flushed instantly, and she bit her lip.
It was the first time Ling Feng saw her looking so bashful, and he was instantly captivated.
The two of them had already made an agreement in that stone hut before, but back then Yu Linglong wasn’t physically convenient, so it didn’t happen.
Afterward, a series of events unfolded, dragging things out until now. Finally, there was an opportunity.
Although mentally prepared, Yu Linglong still felt things were happening a bit too suddenly.
Right at that moment, Ling Feng couldn’t hold back any longer, his breath quickened as he leaned in for a kiss!
Yu Linglong’s body softened, completely leaning into Ling Feng’s arms.
After a passionate kiss, Ling Feng lifted her horizontally in his arms and strode into the bedroom!
...
...
Much later, the two lay intertwined in bed. Ling Feng traced his fingers along Yu Linglong’s fair skin and said, "Your Pure Yang Physique has unexpectedly been such a great help to me."
"What do you mean?"
Yu Linglong, her expression lazy and obedient like a little kitten, asked softly.
In the midst of their earlier passion, she noticed Ling Feng’s face flushed red, his body seeming as if it were on fire. But in that moment, overwhelmed by a torrent of complex emotions, she didn’t focus on the detail.
Ling Feng chuckled and replied: "My meridians were just expanded, and now my efficiency in absorbing Spiritual Energy will be greatly improved!"
"So this is the purpose of my physique’s existence," Yu Linglong said gently.
"Exactly!"
Ling Feng nodded and kissed her forehead: "Thank you!"
Yu Linglong didn’t respond, merely curled up, nestling herself further into Ling Feng’s embrace.
Feeling her eyelashes fluttering softly against his chest, tickling a bit, Ling Feng didn’t move, enjoying the warmth of the moment immensely, wishing time could slow down.
Yet certain things couldn’t wait. Seeing the sky outside darkening, Ling Feng got up and said: "You rest a bit; I need to make a call."
"Alright."
Yu Linglong’s demeanor had softened, and her gaze toward Ling Feng was filled with warmth.
In the living room, Ling Feng retrieved his phone to call Han Guang.
"Mr. Ling, have you made up your mind?"
"Yes, I’ve reviewed the contract, and there’s no issue, but I have one condition!" Ling Feng said with a smile.
"What condition?" Han Guang asked.
"I want to raise the stakes to fifty billion US Dollars and shorten the gambling window to just two hours!" Ling Feng declared.
Han Guang: "...."
He was instantly stunned. Was Ling Feng out of his mind? Fifty billion—where could he possibly get that kind of money?
After a moment of silence, Han Guang quickly said: "I’m sorry, Mr. Ling. I definitely can’t make that decision myself. I’ll need to report to Mr. Han before I can give you an answer!"
"Of course, I’ll be waiting for your response!" Ling Feng replied with a laugh.
After hanging up, Ling Feng sat on the sofa, pondered for a moment, and then called Du Hao.
Once the line connected, he didn’t mince words, directly explaining that the Ling Corporation’s rapid expansion had caused a shortage in funds, and that he was looking for solutions.
Upon hearing Ling Feng planned on wagering fifty billion US Dollars in a gamble, Du Hao couldn’t help but remark incredulously: "You need money, but you can’t be this reckless!"
"There’s a bigger picture here,"
Ling Feng chuckled, then recounted his feud with the Li Family, before continuing: "That Han guy’s trying to set me up. Even though I’m aware of it, I still need to take the bait. Once I do, the Li Family basically hands me fifty billion dollars. While it won’t completely ruin them, it’ll surely hurt them for a while!"
"You..."
Du Hao felt utterly speechless but didn’t hesitate to ask, "How do I get you the money?"
"Whatever is convenient for you. I’m on Ao Island right now; transferring it to the casino’s accounts works too!" Ling Feng answered.
"Alright, I’ll head over soon. We’ll talk face-to-face,"
Du Hao responded before promptly hanging up.
At this moment, the soft sound of rustling approached as Yu Linglong emerged from the bedroom wearing a bathrobe.
Seeing her like this, Ling Feng felt his heart stir with desire once more!
But Yu Linglong quickly noticed his intentions and shot him a warning glare: "Don’t come over; I’m going to take a shower!"
"Uh... care to shower together?" Ling Feng teased with a sly smile.
"No way!"
Yu Linglong’s face turned red as she darted into the bathroom like a flash.
Ling Feng knew she hadn’t completely overcome her maidenly shyness yet, so he simply chuckled, returning to the sofa and waited patiently.
Once Yu Linglong finished, she emerged wearing a tank top and shorts, leaving Ling Feng wide-eyed in astonishment again.
She had always dressed modestly in long skirts, and this was the first time she wore something so revealing!
Now that she was officially his woman, she no longer felt the need to keep herself bundled up.
When she walked up to him, Ling Feng wrapped an arm around her waist, pulling her onto his lap. He then joked: "I never realized you actually have such long legs!"
