Chapter 1197: King of the Red Sea
Ling Feng was startled and looked back at him: "Following me?"
"Yes, our boss has been captured by you, and now we are like scattered troops with no one to follow!" Jia Ba said.
"Didn’t you say you were going home to fish and farm?" Ling Feng asked.
"This..."
Jia Ba was embarrassed, smiled awkwardly, and said, "To be honest with you, we all have nothing holding us at home, that’s why we came out to roam the world."
"So you mean you have nowhere to live even if you go back?" Ling Feng asked.
"Yes."
Jia Ba nodded: "If you don’t take us in, we’ll end up becoming pirates again."
Ling Feng was speechless after hearing this. He glared at him: "Are you threatening me?! If I don’t take care of you, you’ll continue to harm people?"
"No, no, that’s not what I meant!"
Seeing the fierce glint in Ling Feng’s eyes, Jia Ba quickly waved his hands, swallowed, and explained, "We won’t harm anyone, really!"
"Get real, do you think I believe your nonsense? Becoming pirates without harming people, then how do you survive?" Ling Feng asked with a cold laugh.
"Uh, Mr. Ling, you don’t know, we don’t always rob at sea. We do have a main business, like fishing and harvesting sea products," Jia Ba said.
Ling Feng oh-ed and finally understood.
So he pondered for a moment: "But I can’t take you in, mainly because I don’t have a turf in the Tailan Country, there’s no use taking you in!"
"This..."
Upon hearing this, Jia Ba was utterly disappointed.
Following a formidable figure like Ling Feng would undoubtedly be beneficial, but if he doesn’t need them, there’s nothing they can do.
They can’t shamelessly insist on tagging along, can they?
With his head lowered, Jia Ba thought for a moment, then suddenly raised his head and said, "How about this, we’ll follow you for now, and in case you need us, you can contact us anytime!"
Ling Feng smiled: "Alright, let’s exchange phone numbers. If I really need you guys while I’m here, I’ll find you myself!"
"Okay!"
Jia Ba immediately nodded.
As they talked, the two returned to the coast, and sure enough, not a single one of the men had left; they were all waiting obediently.
Seeing them return, the men were a bit dumbfounded because they saw that neither of them had found the Red Sea King’s treasure.
Ling Feng didn’t say much, he asked Jia Ba to gather everyone to board the ship, and then they began the return journey.
No words were exchanged along the way, and by the time they returned to the mainland, it was already late. The sun left a glow on the sea horizon, and within half an hour, the continent would enter night mode.
Ling Feng and Jia Ba exchanged phone numbers. Ling Feng was about to turn and leave but seeing the group wearing tattered clothes, with faces full of hardship, he sighed, took out a stack of cash, and handed it to Jia Ba: "Take this money, find a place to stay and get some food, it should be enough."
Seeing that stack of red cash, Jia Ba was overjoyed, quickly received it, and said in a rush, "Enough, more than enough!"
Ling Feng turned around and left, swiftly returning to the hotel.
When he reached his room, Yu Linglong was nowhere to be seen. With a sweep of his divine sense, he found that she and Qingqing were in the restaurant downstairs.
Seeing the two chatting happily, Ling Feng didn’t disturb them and sat down on the sofa.
After waiting for about half an hour, Yu Linglong, knowing he had returned, came back upstairs from the restaurant.
As soon as she entered, she asked, "How did it go?"
"Mission accomplished, I caught that Red Sea King!" Ling Feng laughed.
"Really? How did you handle it?" Yu Linglong asked curiously.
Ling Feng was taken aback, then smiled: "I only caught the person, but haven’t released him yet!"
After speaking, he recounted his time at sea.
Yu Linglong was speechless after hearing it, then asked, "Aren’t you planning to meet the Red Sea King after the Gambling King’s tournament?"
"That’s the plan!" Ling Feng nodded.
"Since we have nothing else to do now, why don’t we go to the Nine Heavens? That way his submarine can’t escape!" Yu Linglong suggested.
Ling Feng was a bit surprised, looked at her: "Why are you in such a hurry?"
"I want to see what kind of person he is, to dare to try to kidnap me!" Yu Linglong said.
"Uh, alright."
Ling Feng was somewhat speechless, then said: "But going back is a bit troublesome, my moveable teleportation array was left in Shankou Village, I don’t have it on me, I’ll have to make one!"
"That won’t take long, I’ll wait for you!" Yu Linglong said.
Ling Feng realized she truly wanted to see the Red Sea King, so he nodded: "Alright then."
Then, during the next period of time, he busied himself with preparing the teleportation array, while Yu Linglong sat on the sofa watching him, patiently waiting.
When the sky outside turned completely dark, the teleportation array was ready.
Ling Feng and Yu Linglong teleported to Nine Heavens, then went directly to the Sixth Layer.
The coast was still devoid of people, and Ling Feng didn’t go looking for others. Once he reached the seaside, he directly took out the submarine.
Seeing the appearance of a massive black submarine, Yu Linglong was stunned, then exclaimed, "Oh my gosh, it’s so big!"
"Yes, this Red Sea King really went all out, otherwise he couldn’t have bought such a large submarine!"
Ling Feng chuckled, took her hand and leaped onto the submarine, arriving at the entrance, knocked on the hatch!
With divine sense hindered, he didn’t know the situation inside or how many people were there.
When the hatch opened, a red figure instantly jumped out, then quickly charged at Ling Feng’s face like lightning!
Ling Feng didn’t hesitate either, the God Slayer Saber in his hand flashed with a cold light, heading straight for the person!
The opponent sensed the sharpness of the blade, immediately somersaulted in mid-air, and swiftly retreated!
The figure landed, and upon seeing the person, Ling Feng was startled!
It was a woman!
With elegant black long hair, a red dress, a fair face, and crimson lips, she was surprisingly striking!
However, Ling Feng also noticed the deliberate use of her hair to cover half of her face, where there was a noticeable scar!
"Are you the Red Sea King?"
Though somewhat surprised, Ling Feng promptly asked.
The woman narrowed her eyes, first looking at Yu Linglong beside him, then said to Ling Feng: "You’re quite capable, to actually pursue me to my lair!"
"Sorry, but it seems you’ve misunderstood, this isn’t your lair. It’s my territory!"
Ling Feng chuckled, discovering she was unaware she had already been captured and had completely changed locations.
The Red Sea King was momentarily stunned, turned to look around, and realized the sea indeed seemed slightly different!
Moreover, the environment and temperature here were noticeably different!
After a moment of surprise, she turned to Ling Feng: "Where is this place?"
