Chapter 1509 - 1508: Chen Hong
Facing the woman’s threat, Ling Feng laughed.
It was the first time he encountered such a situation; he wasn’t afraid of her words but suddenly became very curious about this woman!
So he turned back and stood in front of her: "Your threat doesn’t have any effect on me, but I’m very curious, how did you know my purpose here?"
"I’ll tell you if you agree to my condition," the woman replied.
Ling Feng shook his head: "No way, unless you can predict another thing accurately, then I’ll agree!"
"Alright!"
The woman squinted her eyes, sizing Ling Feng up again: "Tsk tsk tsk, you’ve got quite a few treasures on you, the bracelet on your wrist, the pendant on your chest, and that Jade Token, they’re all good stuff!"
"Oh?"
All of Ling Feng’s items were hidden under his clothes and invisible to others, but this woman mentioned them outright.
So he became even more interested, smiling as he asked: "Then why don’t you tell me how these things are good?"
The woman laughed: "Can we talk about this in front of so many ordinary folks, do you think it’s appropriate?"
"Alright, I’ll admit you’re impressive!"
Ling Feng nodded, feeling there was no point in saying more, and then continued: "You go home first, I’ll cook this meal for you!"
"You’ve got good taste!"
The woman pouted and continued: "Stop fussing and come with me; my electric bike can take you along!"
Ling Feng: "..."
Seeing him not speaking, the woman glared at him: "What? Do you look down on me?"
"Not at all!"
Ling Feng had no choice; he didn’t want to get entangled with her, so he nodded: "Alright then, I’ll trouble you to take me along!"
He then called Lin Yu, informing her that he had something to deal with, and got on the electric bike.
The woman weighed at least 160 pounds, combined with Ling Feng’s weight, and the electric bike made a creaking sound before slowly heading up the road.
As they traveled through the town, Ling Feng was filled with helplessness and casually asked: "So, ma’am, how exactly did you know about me?"
"Who are you calling ma’am? I have a name, it’s Chen Hong, and you can call me Sister Hong!" the woman said.
"Alright, Sister Hong, how did you find out?" Ling Feng asked with a wry smile.
"Well, once you cook me that meal, I’ll naturally tell you!"
Chen Hong chuckled, saying slowly.
"Okay."
Ling Feng simply stopped talking.
The electric bike left the town, traveled on the country roads for nearly an hour, and finally reached a village in a mountain valley.
Far off, Ling Feng’s heart skipped a beat upon seeing the silhouette of this village!
This village was special; while other places were still in the desolation of winter, here it was vibrant green!
Not only were the trees full of leaves, but the fields and mountains surrounding the village were also green and lush, almost identical to Shiliu Village!
Shiliu Village maintained spring-like temperatures with the help of a Formation, but how was this place accomplishing it?
This mystery aside, Ling Feng felt he had come to the right place; even if it wasn’t related to Chen Hong, it wasn’t a wasted trip.
Soon, the electric bike entered the village, and Ling Feng sensed the intense Spiritual Energy permeating the area.
They arrived at the entrance of a grand courtyard, and Chen Hong stopped the electric bike: "Didn’t get enough? We’ve arrived, get off!"
Ling Feng was speechless: "How would I know if you didn’t tell me?"
He dismounted the electric bike, noticing the opulent decoration of the courtyard, and asked, "Is this your home?"
"Yes, not bad, right?"
Chen Hong turned to glance at him, stepped into the courtyard.
Ling Feng nodded and followed her inside, and saw the courtyard was very clean and well-organized, the vegetable garden lush with various greens, exuding a strong rural charm.
Looking at the house from its exterior, it was apparent that the family’s lifestyle was quite affluent.
So Ling Feng curiously asked: "Your family seems quite wealthy; is it from fortune-telling?"
"What’s ten yuan worth? I only do fortune-telling for ten days each month, charging ten yuan each time!"
Chen Hong scoffed and continued: "My family makes money from farming!"
"Oh? What do you farm? Corn?" Ling Feng asked.
"Yes, is it hard to believe?"
Upon seeing his expression, Chen Hong asked seriously.
"Farming corn makes that much money? I’ve never heard that before!" Ling Feng replied wryly.
"Perhaps your family doesn’t own that much land? My family owns 200 acres, all mechanized farming, making money isn’t hard!" Chen Hong said.
"Uh, that much land?"
Ling Feng was dumbfounded; he assumed that in a mountainous village, no household would have more than ten acres.
He didn’t expect that Chen Hong’s family would own so much!
"Don’t act like a bumpkin; while our village seems small, there’s a large stretch of flat land in the mountains, unlike what you’d imagine!"
Chen Hong shot him a disdainful look and entered the house.
"Okay."
Ling Feng was left with nothing to complain about, and he followed her in with a wry smile.
Entering the house, the interior was even more modern; if not for coming from outside, one could mistake it for a city apartment.
Ling Feng, accustomed to visiting impoverished rural areas, felt like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden here.
In the living room, Chen Hong looked at Ling Feng: "There’s still plenty of time; have a seat first, what would you like to drink?"
Ling Feng didn’t hold back, sat on the sofa, and looked up at her: "What do you have?"
"Tea, coffee, soft drinks, milk are all available!" Chen Hong replied.
"Uh, I’ll have tea." Ling Feng said wryly.
"Wait!"
Chen Hong turned and left, returning soon with hot water and a teapot.
Watching her make tea, Ling Feng was full of curiosity: "Who exactly are you?"
"Are you interrogating me?"
Chen Hong looked up at him.
"No, I’m just curious!" Ling Feng said.
Chen Hong nodded: "You’re curious, so I’ll tell you a bit; I’m actually not an ordinary person, much like you!"
"I just like the status quo, prefer not drawing attention, so I stay in our Chen’s Village and don’t care about the outside world!"
Ling Feng rolled his eyes at her words: "You’re saying it like I enjoy parading around!"
"Aren’t you flashy enough?"
Chen Hong looked at him: "Recently, worldwide, you’ve been quite the sensation!"
Ling Feng was taken aback: "Hmm? How do you know? When we first met, you seemed not to recognize me?"
Chen Hong chuckled: "I told you I’m not an ordinary person; finding out about you on the way back wasn’t hard at all!"
"Really?"
Ling Feng was intrigued by this woman, finding the situation increasingly interesting!
