Chapter 1189: Shocking Answer
Chapter 1189: Shocking Answer
Ling Feng nodded, "Sort of, once the Gambling King competition is over tomorrow, everything will be fine."
"Oh."
Ling Yao nodded slightly, then looked at him, "You and Yu Linglong..."
"Winning this time was entirely due to her good luck. She really did me a big favor!" Ling Feng said.
He understood Ling Yao’s meaning, so he explained subtly that his relationship with Yu Linglong had progressed.
"Oh."
Ling Yao understood, nodded without saying much, but suddenly her expression was covered with a layer of loneliness.
Ling Feng was stunned. This person, who usually had the image of a goddess, suddenly looked like a little woman?
So, he asked curiously, "Sis, what’s wrong with you?"
"I’m fine."
Ling Yao looked at him, shook her head slightly, then said, "Remember you once mentioned the Seven-Star Formation, have you forgotten about it?"
"Uh, exactly, if you hadn’t mentioned it, I would have really forgotten!" Ling Feng said with a wry smile.
"You forgot, but others didn’t. Didn’t Yu Linglong tell you?" Ling Yao asked.
Ling Feng was stunned again, then shook his head, "She didn’t mention it."
"Oh!"
For no apparent reason, Ling Yao suddenly sighed, and her expression became even more lonely!
Seeing this, Ling Feng suddenly felt a surge of pity in his heart, wanting to comfort her as she seemed so unhappy.
But thinking it over, he repressed the idea in his heart. He dared not make any affectionate gestures towards Ling Yao!
If it were someone else, it would be completely okay to put an arm around their shoulder and comfort them softly, which might at least ease the mood.
But with Ling Yao, he dared not do so at all, as it felt rather like disrespect.
Just when he didn’t know what to do, Ling Yao glanced up at him, "If there’s nothing else, you should leave first!"
"Oh."
Ling Feng nodded like a goose, stood up, and left hesitantly.
After leaving the Fifth Layer Heaven, Ling Feng’s mood suddenly became a bit complicated, so he turned and went to the Second Layer.
Yu Linglong was sitting by the edge of the woods, with no one else around, only herself. When he got closer, Ling Feng sat down next to her.
"Why do you look uneasy? Did something happen?" Yu Linglong asked curiously.
"It’s not really anything, just Ling Yao..."
Ling Feng gave a wry smile and asked Yu Linglong, "Did she already talk to you about the Seven-Star Formation?"
"Mm!"
Yu Linglong nodded, "I already know what’s going on."
Ling Feng was taken aback, "Then why didn’t you tell me?"
"I wanted her to tell you herself, but it seems now she still can’t bring herself to speak!" Yu Linglong said with a wry smile.
"Why?" Ling Feng was confused.
"What kind of situation do you think would make a girl unable to speak up?" Yu Linglong didn’t answer but countered with a question.
"Um..."
Ling Feng already had an answer in mind, but he thought it unlikely, so after a bit of consideration, he said, "It shouldn’t be what I’m thinking, right?"
"If you don’t say it, how will I know what you’re thinking?" Yu Linglong chuckled.
"It’s, you know, the kind where a girl is shy to confess." Ling Feng grinned awkwardly.
Yu Linglong nodded, "Exactly, that’s it!"
"Ah?"
Ling Feng was utterly stunned, his eyes wide with disbelief, "How, how could that be possible?"
In his view, since he met Yu Linglong, she had always had the image of a dignified sister, always being strict with him, never showing even the slightest hint of romantic feelings.
How did she suddenly change, and now she even likes him?
Who was she, an ancient great god, his own capabilities are insignificant in her eyes!
Ling Feng looked incredulous, while Yu Linglong smiled and said, "No need to disbelieve. There are some twists in between, and since she’s unwilling to say, let me tell you instead!"
"Hurry and tell me, you guys nearly drove me crazy!"
Ling Feng recalled what Long Xiaoyu and Chen Yuhe had said and spoke immediately.
"It’s actually quite simple. The peculiar environment around Shiliu Village, plus the function of the Seven-Star Formation, you already know, and the guardian here is none other than Shennong!" Yu Linglong explained.
"..."
Ling Feng looked shocked, and then said, "Continue."
"And obtaining Shennong’s legacy was actually not by chance!"
Yu Linglong thought for a moment before saying, "You’re actually the reincarnation of Shennong!"
"....."
Ling Feng was shocked again.
After standing awestruck, he suddenly thought of something, "Wait, that doesn’t make sense. Ling Yao is Shennong’s sister, if I’m Shennong reincarnated, how could she like me?"
"When she met you, she realized you looked exactly like Shennong back then, so she said that to get to know you better. In fact, she is Shennong’s fiancée." Yu Linglong explained.
"Ah...."
Ling Feng’s entire body went stiff.
Yu Linglong looked at him, half-smiling, "Do you need some time to calm down now?"
"Uh, yes, give me some time, I..."
Ling Feng was really in a daze, standing up in a trance and wandering into the woods.
Yu Linglong didn’t follow him, knowing Ling Feng needed time to digest this revelation.
When everyone else learned of this, they were also very shocked and took quite some time to accept what Ling Yao said.
Now Ling Feng is the person involved; the psychological impact on him must be significant, so let him be alone for a while!

The next morning, Ling Feng and Yu Linglong set off together, reaching Guo City.
The reason for coming here was that it’s quite close to Tailan Country, and they wouldn’t have much further to go once crossing the border to reach their destination.
At the hotel, the two of them got into a car provided by the Black Dragon Sect and set off.
Throughout the journey, Yu Linglong didn’t say a word, mainly because Ling Feng hadn’t spoken.
He had spent all of yesterday and last night by himself in the Second Layer Heaven, only coming out from the woods just before setting off.
Yu Linglong didn’t know what he was thinking, but she knew that when Ling Feng wanted to speak, he would naturally tell her.
The car smoothly crossed the border, then after two hours, they reached Man City in Tailan Country.
This is also a well-known tourist city in Asia, with visitors from all over the world bolstering Man City’s economy and bringing in a lot of money.
Ling Feng and Yu Linglong arrived at Pu Fuwan’s casino, where he was already waiting downstairs.
After getting out of the car, Ling Feng spoke for the first time, smiling as he said to Pu Fuwan, "Brother Pu, why the formality?"
"Brother, you’re a celebrity now, I couldn’t just treat you like any regular guest, so I had to welcome you personally!" Pu Fuwan said with a broad smile.
With laughter and chatter, the group entered the casino.
The environment and scale of this place couldn’t compare to that of Ao Island, but luckily Ling Feng didn’t care about these things. Following Pu Fuwan upstairs, the group reached his office.
