Chapter 532: One Hundred Thousand Bullets
Ling Feng realized that he had been neglecting her, so he wrapped his arms tighter around Huaihua’s shoulders, "Silly, you’re overthinking it."
Huaihua didn’t speak, just leaned into his chest, savoring the momentary warmth, and the nervousness in her heart dissolved away.
Now she suddenly didn’t want to leave anymore, feeling that staying in the village was quite nice, at least she could see Ling Feng every day.
But she also knew, such thoughts were just wishful thinking, no one would agree with her if she voiced them out loud.
Besides, she could teleport at any time now; not saying she would come back daily, but an occasional visit was feasible, much more convenient than before.
So, after snuggling for a little while, she extracted herself from Ling Feng’s embrace, lifted her head to look at him steadily, "Brother, then I’ll set out tomorrow morning."
"Alright, I will see you off when the time comes!"
"No need, Sister Lan and I have already discussed it, she will take me straight to the provincial city via teleportation!" Huaihua said.
Ling Feng thought about it and then smiled, "That’s good, too. If you get homesick, just come back for a visit. There will be big changes in Nine Heavens in a few days!"
"Okay."
Huaihua nodded firmly, her heart filled with anticipation for the future.
After she left, Ling Feng had nothing to do, and was about to teleport to Nine Heavens, when Zhang He called him: "Don’t wander off today, I’m sending someone to deliver stuff to you!"
"Delivery? What stuff?" Ling Feng was bewildered.
"Do you have such a goldfish memory? What did you ask me to get you before?" Zhang He asked.
Ling Feng forced a smile, "Don’t flatter yourself, who asked you? I just asked you for a favor!"
"But you’re pretty amazing, how did you get the bullets so quickly?"
Zhang He chuckled, "Of course, who do you think I am!"
Ling Feng was speechless, "You gasp even when someone calls you fat!"
"Alright, no more jokes, when the stuff is delivered, will the Thunderbolt Pills be ready too?" Zhang He inquired.
"Of course, once the bullets arrive, we’ll make the exchange—money for goods!" Ling Feng nodded.
"That puts my mind at ease, wait for the delivery then!"
Zhang He hung up before Ling Feng could respond, leaving him looking helpless and thinking to himself what’s the rush, I haven’t even had the chance to ask how many bullets we’re talking about here!
But the call had ended, and calling back was not his style, so he put the phone back in his pocket and didn’t go anywhere, just quietly waited at home.
As it was getting close to noon, he heard the roar of a car engine outside and hurried out, only to see a large pickup truck parked at his doorway.
The driver’s door opened, and a petite girl in military uniform hopped out from behind the wheel, large sunglasses covering half her face.
Approaching Ling Feng, she didn’t take off her sunglasses and asked crisply, "You’re Ling Feng?"
"Yes, are you the one Zhang He sent?" Ling Feng inquired.
The girl pouted, "Him? He begged me to come, okay?"
"Oh."
Ling Feng smiled, recognizing her proud nature from her demeanor, and decided not to ask further.
"A hundred thousand bullets delivered, please sign here." she said, pulling out a document and handing it to Ling Feng.
He looked over the document, a delivery notice, and was taken aback to see at the top that it came from the Southwest Military Region. Ling Feng was stunned and thought, my goodness, this bullet business has involved the military region?
He had no idea how Zhang He managed it, but could tell it must have been a complex process, so he quickly signed his name without asking further questions.
"It’s all in the back of the truck, you better start moving them, I’m in a hurry!"
The girl retrieved the document and went straight back to the car, no longer concerning herself with anything.
Ling Feng had no choice but to approach the carriage, lifted the tarp, and a big pile of dark green metal boxes appeared before him.
Seeing so many bullets, his eyes immediately shone, and without a word, he began to transport them!
After all, with his superior strength, where an ordinary person would struggle with one box, he could easily manage three at a time!
So quickly, all one hundred thousand bullets were moved into the house. Just as he was about to greet her, the girl rolled down the car window, "Zhang He said there’s something I need to bring back for him. Where is it?"
"Right here, all ready!"
As Ling Feng handed over the Thunderbolt Pill into the car, the girl didn’t even glance at it, casually placing it on the passenger seat and then drove off after turning the car around.
Watching the car leave the village, Ling Feng scratched his head.
No longer bothered to guess what relationship the girl had with Zhang He, he cheerfully returned to his room and began a new round of transporting!
With these hundred thousand bullets, he would have enough to stride across the Fourth Layer Heaven for a while!
Even if he encountered that giant octopus again, he wouldn’t fear. With so many bullets, even ten or eight of them could be wiped out!
When the transporting was over, he just happened to see Joanna coming out from the Third Layer. Their eyes met, and she immediately said, "I was just about to go looking for you!"
Ling Feng was startled, "What is it?"
"I’m planning a trip home to bring some things back. Is there anything you want?" Joanna asked.
"I don’t need anything. Oh right, could you check on Qiao Sanshui for me, ask if he wants to come over here," Ling Feng suggested.
When he last visited the Qiao Family before the new year, he had promised the old man that he would visit often, but he had been so busy he hadn’t had the time.
Joanna nodded, "Alright, I got it."
...
...
Soon, two hours later, Joanna returned from home.
She didn’t bring Qiao Sanshui back with her but she did bring back Yellow!
The moment he saw it, Ling Feng was stunned, and then his face lit up with joy!
"Uncle Sanshui said he doesn’t want to run around, he just wants to stay at home. And since Yellow now has kids, he thought it should come and visit," Joanna explained.
"I had almost forgotten about that. Great, come with me, Yellow! I’ll take you to see Da Qiang and Xiao Qiang!"
Ling Feng laughed heartily and turned towards the Second Layer Heaven.
Yellow was clearly very excited too. Upon entering, it sniffed the air and without a word dashed into the woods.
A moment later, cheerful barking resounded from the forest. It was Da Qiang and Xiao Qiang.
Ling Feng stood there, smiling, feeling a bit curious about how Wang Cai would react to seeing his spouse after what might have been a long time apart!
Despite his curiosity, he didn’t want to intrude on their reunion, so he turned and left the Second Layer.
Two days later, Ling Feng, who was getting a bit anxious, finally received a call from Chen Ping.
Excited, he went to Longyuan and saw Chen Ping’s somewhat amused expression, Ling Feng could hardly contain himself, "Boss, is it good news?"
"Kind of. The evaluation of your octopus meat is done. The Director-General signed the document personally. Have a look," Chen Ping said, handing over a document.
The document had plenty of content, but Ling Feng was too impatient to read through it all. His gaze swept over and finally fixated on a series of numbers, and he read out almost subconsciously, "Purchased at the price of one hundred yuan per jin!"
