Chapter 644: You’re Almost Done!
Ling Feng glanced at Wang Laogen, "Look how pleased you are, as if Luo Qianyu has anything to do with you. Why are you so happy?"
"She might not be related to me, but doesn’t she have a connection with you? Once the girl has completed her studies and returned to the country, won’t she be a great help?" Wang Laogen retorted.
Ling Feng looked at him, "What if she finishes her studies and comes back specifically to kill me? What then?"
Wang Laogen: "..."
He suddenly felt a bit perplexed, facing Ling Feng’s half-amused look, "No, really, what’s the relationship between the two of you? Could I have gotten it wrong?"
"Heh, don’t ask about that!"
Ling Feng smiled, then added, "I’m aware of the situation now. As for whether to stop it or not, I’ll have to ask Sister Lan when I get a chance."
After saying this and seeing both Wang Laogen and Mo Lan looking at him, Ling Feng scratched his head, "What now?"
"Your face seems to be getting redder and redder!"
Wang Laogen had a strange look in his eyes but didn’t give any reminder. He just reached out directly and touched Ling Feng’s forehead.
"Damn it!"
The moment Wang Laogen made contact with his skin, he exclaimed in shock and withdrew his hand before blurting out, "You’re practically cooking!"
He turned to Mo Lan, "Quick, run the bath water, we need to cool this kid down!"
Without a word, Mo Lan dashed to the bathroom while Ling Feng, completely bewildered, looked at Wang Laogen, "What’s the big fuss for?"
"You don’t feel it yourself?"
Wang Laogen paused for a moment, then stood up and started rummaging through the room!
Luckily, it was a high-end hotel. There was a special cabinet at the entrance for the first aid kit, so he found a mercury thermometer and handed it to Ling Feng, "Measure it yourself!"
Ling Feng was speechless, "I’ve already checked; I don’t feel hot at all!"
Wang Laogen grew anxious, his eyes widening, "Just measure it, will you, and quit the chatter!"
"Hey, fine fine fine, as you wish!"
Seeing that he was truly in a hurry, Ling Feng stopped joking around and quickly placed the thermometer under his arm.
Not even a minute later, as Mo Lan was still running the bath water, both Wang Laogen and Ling Feng heard a cracking sound!
Ling Feng, startled, reached to check, only to find the thermometer had shattered!
"Crap, that was a mistake!"
Wang Laogen became frantic at the sight and grabbed Ling Feng’s clothes, ready to strip him!
"Hey, Wang, what’s the deal? Don’t be rash!"
Ling Feng was taken aback and quickly struggled!
"If you don’t want mercury poisoning, stop moving!"
Wang Laogen, with bloodshot eyes, shouted fiercely!
At this point, Ling Feng calmed down, allowing Wang Laogen to strip off his shirt. His new clothes from the morning were promptly stuffed into a plastic bag and thrown into the trash.
"It was my oversight. Your temperature has already soared beyond forty-two degrees, and the max limit for this mercury thermometer is forty-two, so it burst!" Wang Laogen explained.
Ling Feng was speechless, "Seems like that’s the case. I didn’t even do anything, and it just cracked!"
"Your temperature must be at least sixty degrees now. Still not dead is a miracle!" Wang Laogen said irritably.
"Uh... so I’m supposed to be dead to be normal?" Ling Feng rolled his eyes.
"It’s better than scaring others like this. Be careful and don’t touch anything in the room. If you start a fire, you’re responsible for covering the costs!" Wang Laogen scolded, his face stern.
By then, Mo Lan had finished filling the bath and called out.
"Hurry up and soak in the bathtub!"
Wang Laogen didn’t dare touch Ling Feng, as if afraid of getting burned.
As for Ling Feng, he too understood the gravity of the situation, so without another word he got up and went to the bathroom, after which Mo Lan closed the door behind him.
After stripping off his clothes, he jumped into a bathtub full of cold water, and Ling Feng immediately felt refreshed and extremely comfortable!
So he couldn’t help but shout, "Old Wang, why don’t you get a bigger thermometer?"
"Like I need you to tell me, I was just about to send Mo Lan to buy one!"
Wang Laogen’s roar came from outside.
A moment later, there was a sound at the door, presumably Mo Lan going downstairs.
At this time, the bathroom door was pulled open, and Wang Laogen poked his head in to look, "You didn’t heat up the water, did you?"
Ling Feng was speechless, do I look like a human-shaped heating rod?
So he rolled his eyes in annoyance, "Just look for yourself!"
Satisfied that there was nothing unusual with the water in the bathtub, Wang Laogen was relieved and after entering the room he squatted on the floor, staring straight at Ling Feng, "Tell me the truth, what did you do from last night until this morning?"
"Can I not say?"
Ling Feng looked at him, thinking how could he tell him about last night’s events – that’s private, isn’t it?
If you don’t tell me, I’ll call Old Chu and Hua Qiang right away, and Lu Zihao, Zhou Yi, and the rest, get everyone over here!" Wang Laogen said.
"..."
"Hurry up, if you don’t want to make a big fuss, then spill it now!" Wang Laogen’s brows were furrowed deeply.
It was clear that he was really worried about Ling Feng.
After all, this was a critical moment and Ling Feng was the main person responsible for the mission; if something happened to him, wouldn’t all their previous efforts be wasted?
Besides this point, the two had known each other for a long time and had already become close friends of different generations; naturally, he didn’t want to see this young man meet with any mishaps!
Seeing that the old man was truly anxious, Ling Feng could only smile and say, "Actually, it’s not as serious as you think. I’m just evolving and might be about to have a breakthrough in my cultivation level!"
Since Wang Laogen was not an outsider, he decided not to keep secretes any longer and told him about his encounter with Huaihua.
However, as for Zhou Yi’s special ability, since he hadn’t mentioned whether it could be disclosed or not, Ling Feng chose to conceal it, simply stating that he had discovered it accidentally.
After hearing all of this, Wang Laogen was astonished!
"I’ve heard of the Xuan Yin Physique before, but this is the first time I’m hearing about the Extreme Yin Body!"
At this, Wang Laogen shook his head helplessly and sighed, "Ling Feng, why do all the good fortune come your way?"
"How would I know, maybe I’m just lucky?"
Ling Feng shrugged his shoulders.
Just as he was about to continue speaking, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his Dantian, as if something had punctured it!
Quickly, he sensed the Spiritual Power that had been stored inside his Dantian start to spread rapidly!
"What’s happened?"
Seeing Ling Feng’s expression change, Wang Laogen immediately asked with concern.
"My Dantian, it seems to have shattered..."
Ling Feng uttered a sentence then his eyes rolled back, and he lost consciousness in an instant!
"Shit!"
Seeing this, Wang Laogen exploded with a curse and immediately rushed to pull him out of the water.
But upon touching him, Ling Feng’s body was still burning hot, not only his body but even the water in the bathtub had heated up!
At this rate, it wouldn’t take long for the water in the bathtub to boil!
And by that time, Ling Feng would be cooked by the boiling water!
Thinking this, Wang Laogen no longer cared about the scalding water temperature; he gritted his teeth, plunged his hand into the water, and forcefully turned the drain valve!
