Chapter 307: Chapter 220: Going to Sea with Luo Feifei
Er Huang and the Little Fox, however, preferred to go have fun in the back mountains.
Er Huang was still sentimental, often taking the Little Fox to Dahuang’s grave.
The oil-pressing workshop was also reinforced, and then a lot of firewood was chopped and stacked inside.
As for the main residence, the kitchen, and the scenic area, they were all newly built and very sturdy. The chicken and duck coops had also been reinforced last year, so there was no need to worry about them.
The flowers and plants, however, couldn’t be given as much attention.
Lei Jiaming led the security guards in reinforcing some of the larger landscape trees and whitewashing their trunks. They bought a specialized whitewashing agent, with ingredients consisting mainly of limewash, salt, soybean powder, and a lime-sulfur mixture.
Whitewashing plants in winter helps prevent frost damage from the severe cold on one hand, and pests and diseases on the other. They also prepared straw ropes, plastic film, and other materials to wrap the trees when the weather truly turned cold.
For Tuantuan and its mother, Li Xiang also had their enclosure reinforced and a special insulated shed built.
Pandas are actually afraid of the cold. The belief that they are hardy and unafraid of the cold, capable of frolicking and sleeping in the snow, is a misconception.
In the summer, pandas climb to high-altitude areas to escape the heat; in winter, they descend to low-altitude areas for warmth. What they fear most is winter, as the nutritional value of bamboo is low, and the old, weak, sick, or injured often don’t survive.
Of course, Tuantuan and its mother often ate Spirit Fruits and were in excellent health. Building them a comfortable shelter was just a small gesture from Li Xiang. Who wouldn’t want to lie in a warm little den while the snow falls heavily outside?
Luo Feifei called, saying she was in the Imperial Capital. She had asked her mother for a few days off and could go out and have some fun. She also told Li Xiang her hotel room number.
"I’ll leave a window open for you. Remember to climb in tonight," Luo Feifei said with a light laugh.
That night, Li Xiang arrived in the Imperial Capital and climbed into the room Luo Feifei had booked. She had specifically chosen one with a balcony and a window that could be opened.
"Is your mother staying at this hotel too?" Li Xiang asked.
Luo Feifei shook her head. "No, she went back home. I can stay here for a few days." It had taken a great deal of effort to persuade her mother to give her a few days of freedom.
Given the incredible abilities Luo Feifei had displayed, plus the fact that she had inexplicably mastered martial arts to the point where she barely needed wire-work for filming, and her temperament was far more mature than her peers, her mother was slightly more at ease. She sighed to herself, ’My daughter’s all grown up.’
Luo Feifei pulled Li Xiang to the sofa and told him many interesting stories about her time in the Imperial Capital.
Li Xiang listened quietly, occasionally chiming in with a witty remark that made Luo Feifei shake with laughter.
The main reason was that Luo Feifei was usually very aloof and didn’t have any close friends. She also had something of a generation gap with her mother. Now that she finally had Li Xiang to herself, someone she could have a heart-to-heart with, she naturally had to "vent" a little.
Then, of course, came the part where they exchanged experiences about their Cultivation.
Luo Feifei learned a lot from Li Xiang, and he, in turn, gained much new inspiration from her. His own Cultivation even showed faint signs of improvement. It was a case of mutual learning and shared progress.
Luo Feifei had also advanced another Tier, having only broken through because she couldn’t suppress it any longer.
She was now at the Fourth Tier, and her newly awakened Superpower was "Sharpness." It increased the Penetration Power of all her attacks, allowing her to easily shatter even thick Armor. Nothing could stand in her way. Combined with her White Tiger Sword, her Attack Power was even greater.
When Li Xiang mentioned his "Minor Spirit Body Achievement," Luo Feifei was stunned. This was because she had achieved "Minor Spirit Body Achievement" in her past life, but that was at Tier Eighteen, a state she reached when she was just half a step from entering the Saint Tier.
’To think that Li Xiang has already reached it at only Tier Seven.’
Li Xiang couldn’t help but feel a little satisfied with his own Cultivation.
Around four in the morning, he set out with Luo Feifei.
With a single movement, one sprint covered several hundred kilometers. Then he ran at a cruising speed of around 2.5 Mach.
’So fast!’ Luo Feifei felt that Li Xiang was getting more and more incredible. He held her without it affecting his lightning speed in the slightest.
No, even the wind wasn’t as fast as him.
After all, the highest wind speed ever recorded on Earth was only one or two hundred meters per second, not even reaching the speed of sound.
Luo Feifei said she wanted to go play by the sea. She was skilled in Water Escape, making the ocean her home turf. Besides, the high seas were practically deserted, so she wouldn’t have to worry about being recognized.
Li Xiang had the same idea. He also wanted Luo Feifei to help him hunt Mutated Creatures with potential in the sea.
Thus, the two of them hit it off immediately.
The most direct route from the Imperial Capital to the sea was naturally through Tianjin Guard.
With one sprint, Li Xiang arrived in Weihai.
Another sprint, and he was in South Korea.
One more sprint brought them to a coastal island of Japan, somewhere near Nagasaki.
Luo Feifei observed the area for a moment and said the water quality was poor. There might be nuclear wastewater, so it was better to go farther away. She asked Li Xiang if they could go to Antarctica.
’Originally, she hadn’t even considered it. Who would have thought Li Xiang would be this fast?’
’The her from the Dream Realm had barely reached the speed of sound when she was trying to break through to the Saint Tier. But Li Xiang’s Extreme Speed was now 5 Mach.’
’At this speed, Antarctica was just over 10,000 kilometers away, a journey of about three or four hours. She just didn’t know what Li Xiang’s Endurance was like. Could he keep it up for that long in one go?’
