Chapter 2425: Chapter 2424: Mission
Ling Feng was already accustomed to giving orders for others to execute.
So when Gu Li called in several specialists, he conveyed his demands.
Upon hearing it, the crowd said it wouldn’t work just by discussing; they needed to see the site in person.
Ling Feng realized they were right, so he brought everyone, including Gu Li and Ah Min, directly back to Lingjian Mountain.
He couldn’t carry so many people by himself, so he summoned Little Fei, and everyone jumped on to ascend into the air.
Soon, whether it was the common folk of Lingjian Mountain or the ranked disciples, they all witnessed a surprising scene.
Little Fei was shaped like a beetle, but its body was so immense that it was highly conspicuous in the air.
Fortunately, the disciples of Lingjian Mountain quickly recognized it was Ling Feng, so it didn’t cause too much panic.
Overhead Lingxiao City, seeing the massive square-shaped city circle and the grid-like residential areas inside, several specialists from Ling Corporation were quite dumbfounded.
The layout design was virtually perfect, especially the streets, which seemed modeled after a modern metropolis, with widths comparable to a six-lane highway!
The group took out cameras to capture and document the current state of the city to formulate plans upon return.
At the same time, Ling Feng gave everyone an introduction to Lingxiao City’s current population, the layout of public facilities, and other situations.
This busy work lasted all afternoon, and by evening, Ling Feng took everyone back.
The design plans wouldn’t come out immediately; Ling Feng wasn’t in a rush and let them brainstorm and take their time.
When night fell, Ling Feng returned to Lingjian Mountain; he didn’t even go home but headed straight for Feiyan’s place.
Upon arrival, seeing the glow of a light inside the house made Ling Feng’s heart race!
He knew what was about to happen and felt both happy and excited.
Entering the room, he saw Feiyan had changed into a red dress, sitting quietly like a bride in the bridal chamber if only she had a veil on!
Feiyan’s shy yet joyful expression was incredibly alluring.
Ling Feng swallowed hard and asked with a smile, "Why are you dressed like this?"
"Tonight is the night we unite, it should naturally be more special," Feiyan said.
"Oh."
Ling Feng understood and laughed: "According to our original customs, I should also be wearing wedding robes."
"No need, I just wanted to give myself an answer, so you can skip it," Feiyan said.
"Alright then."
Ling Feng nodded, sat down, and said: "Since it’s our wedding night, we should have some fun; how about we eat something and have some drinks?"
"Okay."
Feiyan didn’t object and nodded.
Under the red candlelight, with beauty by his side, Ling Feng was already intoxicated without drinking.
...
...
The next morning, Feiyan was up early.
Ling Feng noticed but didn’t question her.
After she left for a while, the door opened again, and Feiyan returned with a tray.
Seeing the steaming breakfast on it, Ling Feng was stunned for a moment before sitting up: "You made this?"
"Yes."
Feiyan nodded: "It’s also a tradition of ours."
For a moment, Ling Feng felt like he had traveled back to ancient Huaxia!
After a pause, he hurriedly said: "Thanks a lot."
He immediately got up and dressed, and Feiyan brought in the wash water too.
Being served like this, Ling Feng felt a bit uncomfortable and quickly said: "Only for today, you can’t do this in the future!"
"Okay, the wife follows the husband; whatever you say goes," Feiyan said.
A warmth spread through Ling Feng’s heart, leaving him speechless.
The unexpected tenderness almost melted his heart.
But happy moments are always fleeting; just as they started breakfast, the elder’s voice suddenly rang in Ling Feng’s mind again.
"Ling Feng, come to me immediately, I have a task for you!"
"Okay, got it."
Ling Feng nodded and said to Feiyan: "The elder is summoning me, I’ll go see what’s up."
"Mm!"
Feiyan just nodded without saying much.
After Ling Feng left, he quickly arrived at the top of Lingjian Mountain and entered the great hall built by the elder.
Once inside, he heard the elder’s voice: "Ling Feng, go to the Desert Sea in the west to fetch something for me."
"What is it?" Ling Feng asked.
"A person’s corpse."
The elder’s voice was emotionless as he continued: "This person’s name is Mu Di."
"How am I supposed to find his corpse?" Ling Feng asked.
The so-called Desert Sea must be a vast desert; finding a corpse there would be like finding a needle in a haystack.
He was not eager to take on such a mission lightly, afraid he might not return in a short time.
"A thousand years ago, Mu Di went to the Desert Sea in search of a plant called Blazing Thorn, and was never heard from again. Now that you are a Second Grade disciple and have taken over his city, it’s time to find him."
The elder added: "As for how to find his corpse, I have no clues right now, but if you can find it, he will have a Secret Key on him that will be crucial for managing Lingxiao City."
"Oh, alright then."
Ling Feng pondered for a moment and nodded, thinking if it’s beneficial to him, he might as well check it out, and if it’s too difficult, he could just give up the mission.
The elder also said: "Search for a few days, if you truly can’t find it, then just come back."
Ling Feng was pleased with this arrangement and nodded: "Okay, understood!"
"Alright, off you go."
The elder said no more.
After Ling Feng left, he returned to Feiyan’s place and told her about it.
After listening, Feiyan thought for a moment and opened the Thousand Machines Scroll.
After inquiring about Mu Di, they learned he was a Second Grade disciple a thousand years ago.
If not for his disappearance, he would have likely reached the First Rank.
Unfortunately, he suddenly vanished without a trace.
After understanding the situation, Ling Feng said to Feiyan: "Why don’t you come with me?"
"Sure."
Being newlyweds, Feiyan was naturally happy to join him.
After discussing, they returned to Lingxiao City and informed Xiao Xiao and Mu Mu about their departure.
The two girls had no objections; after all, they were used to Ling Feng’s comings and goings.
After arranging matters in the city, Ling Feng and Feiyan left, flying towards the west!
