Chapter 807 Setting Sail
Chapter 807 Setting Sail
Shiliu Village’s reconstruction project began the day after the He Family completely withdrew.
A large number of machines poured in again, initiating a new round of construction.
These were the same people who had previously worked for the He Family, and everyone still had a lingering fear from the past two torrential rainfalls. But once construction started and the sky remained clear, people began to feel at ease.
The project was divided into two parts: one was to build four buildings on the original site of the village, with each building consisting of two units and one household per unit, accommodating twelve households per building.
The buildings were equipped with elevators for the convenience of the elderly, and each household was quite spacious, with a size of around 200 square meters.
The area occupied by the four buildings wasn’t large. The remaining land of Shiliu Village was planned to be transformed into a small park, with the village committee office located inside, along with an entertainment room, a reading room, and a medical room.
Since it was going to be rebuilt, it had to be done to the highest standards. Although the village had a small population, mostly of elderly and disabled, it was still Ling Feng’s home, and Mo Jiaolan was willing to spend the money.
All these projects were funded by Ling Corporation, costing over a hundred million, but that wasn’t a problem since the corporation’s business scope was so broad, and this amount of money could be quickly earned back.
Li Yumei, the new Village Chief, was very responsible. To ensure the progress of the project, she hadn’t gone to Nine Heavens much these past few days and stayed at her own home, following the construction 24 hours a day.
Ya Ya could now walk and talk, and was the darling of all the aunts. Mo Jiaolan could let go of her completely.
But Ling Feng was still worried and didn’t want to tire her, so he stayed with Li Yumei for several days.
Ling Yao said he was busy, and he wasn’t wrong about that!
Only when the construction was fully underway and each project had a person in charge did Ling Feng return to Nine Heavens.
One reason was that there were no major issues with Li Yumei’s side, as she just needed to oversee the construction, and the other was that Ling Yao had prepared a surprise to show Ling Feng.
After entering the Sixth Heaven, Ling Feng saw Xun Qianqian, Joanna, and Miao Lanlan at first glance!
He hadn’t seen these three girls for a while. They were like obsessed, hardly ever leaving the Fourth Layer, and Ling Feng was naturally overjoyed to see them.
But the real surprise came later when Xun Qianqian, with a smile, told him that all three of them had reached the Qi Refinement Realm, and Ling Feng was stunned!
He knew that their cultivation was progressing fast, but he had not expected it to be this fast!
Their cultivation was a secret to the outside world, and very few people knew about it. When Ling Feng learned that they had reached the same realm as Zhou Yi, his first thought was to keep it a secret!
Just like the old saying goes, "wealth should not be flaunted".
With their strength as assurance, Ling Feng felt that with Zhou Yi and Xun Qianqian by his side, they would be practically invincible in the whole world.
The top two on the realm ranking list were foreigners, but Ling Feng no longer regarded them as a concern!
In high spirits, Ling Feng looked at Ling Yao and asked, "Sis, did you call Qianqian and the others here to go with me to the island opposite?"
"Yes, I’ve been waiting for this moment. We can’t go there unprepared with the situation being unclear. We need to bring our strongest lineup!" Ling Yao nodded in agreement.
Ling Feng agreed deeply, but he still had a lingering question, so he asked, "But how are we going to get there? Isn’t it said to be very far?"
"Yes, so I have a second surprise for you!"
Ling Yao smiled, and from her Space Bracelet, she produced a yacht!
"Uh..."
The yacht stirred up spray as it settled on the water, leaving Ling Feng dumbfounded!
He had thought about owning this type of item before, but due to its high price, he was reluctant to buy it, and he never expected Ling Yao to actually acquire one!
After gaping in shock, Ling Feng turned his head towards her, "You, how did you manage to get this?"
"I bought it over in Demon Capital. Lin Xue’s father, along with Wang Laogen and Chu Nan, they all chipped in. I went there to take over, and I just got back!" Ling Yao said.
What Ling Feng cared about the most was the price, so he quickly asked, "How much did it cost?"
"Just tens of millions. Someone else has already paid for it, why do you still care about that?" Ling Yao glared at him.
"....."
Ling Feng was speechless, ’just tens of millions’ she says, like it’s nothing!
After a bitter smile, he shook his head helplessly, "I’ve been spending quite a bit heavily recently!"
"The spending is for a good cause. If we can get more top-quality Spirit Stones, don’t you think it’s a worthwhile deal?" Ling Yao asked.
"That’s for sure, it’s definitely worth it!"
Ling Feng nodded his head, and seeing that everyone had already put on their waterproof suits, clearly ready to go, he continued, "Then what are we waiting for? Let’s get on the boat, shall we?"
"Sure!"
Everyone nodded their heads and leaped, all jumping onto the deck.
This was a luxury yacht sixty meters in length; just by looking at the exterior, one could tell it was high-end.
Once aboard, Ling Feng remembered something and turned to ask, "Sis, does anyone of us know how to pilot this thing?"
"I do. It’s really simple. On this empty sea, driving a yacht is even simpler than driving a car!" An Xue immediately said.
Reassured by her words, Ling Feng nodded, "All right, then let’s set off. I’ll go take a look at what’s below deck!"
After speaking, he excitedly went below deck, diving into the cabin.
Meanwhile, those who stayed on the deck, including Zhou Yi, took their seats on the lounge chairs as Joanna exclaimed with a sigh, "This is so comfortable. If I changed into a bikini and lay here with a glass of wine in hand, that would be perfect!"
Zhou Yi glanced at her, "You three should rest for a while. We’ll make arrangements after we return from the island!"
"That’s right, it’s not the time now. I didn’t bring sunscreen, didn’t buy a bikini, and there’s still a lot more to prepare!" Miao Lanlan said.
At this time, Ling Yao stood at the bow of the boat, gazing at the endless ocean in front of her, her brow deeply furrowed.
A little while later, Zhou Yi came to her side, "Why don’t you sit down? It’ll be at least two hours before we arrive, right?"
"Hmm, I can feel the energy on the island ahead is strengthening, probably because we’re getting closer. It seems today’s trip won’t be easy!" Ling Yao nodded.
"We don’t have to land on the island as soon as we get there. It’s fine to observe the surroundings and understand the situation first!"
As the two of them were talking, Ling Feng came up excitedly holding a bottle of wine, "Look what I’ve found, there’s actually a wine cabinet here. Wasn’t that included when buying the yacht, was it?"
"Wishful thinking. That was bought by Wang Laogen and the others, meant for drinking when they come to play later!" Ling Yao said.
"Oh."
Ling Feng chuckled, "Who drinks doesn’t matter, I’ll taste it for him first!"
Finishing his words, he flicked his finger, and the cork was effortlessly popped out with a ’pop’!
