Chapter 1874 - 1875: Crossing the River
Boom!
The monster crashed into the water, creating a massive splash. Ling Zhenfei seized the opportunity, throwing two punches at the water surface and using the rebound force of the Northern Spiritual Energy to cross the river successfully.
The entire river surface was churning continuously. Ling Zhenfei exhaled deeply and glanced at the water, curious about the source of all the commotion.
Suddenly, the water rippled as a monster emerged from below, opening its mouth to bite Ling Zhenfei.
Ling Zhenfei was shocked, thinking he was safe after crossing the river, yet this monster launched a surprise attack.
Fortunately, Ling Zhenfei's strength was considerable, and he swiftly avoided being bitten by the monster.
Ling Zhenfei was utterly shocked as he got a clear sight of the monster—it was a giant snake with claws.
It was shocking enough that the snake had sharp claws, leaving Ling Zhenfei astounded.
A snake with claws; isn't that a dragon? But thinking it through, it's likely just a flood dragon.
But the presence of a flood dragon in the water left Ling Zhenfei pleasantly surprised.
However, this was not the time to dwell on it; it was better to leave quickly.
Exiting the Peach Blossom Secret Realm, he heard knocking at the door outside.
Ling Zhenfei opened the door. The person outside was Mao Aru.
Upon seeing Ling Zhenfei, Mao Aru let out a long breath: "Zhenfei, what have you been up to? It's been two days. If you hadn't instructed not to disturb, I would've barged in."
Ling Zhenfei said: "Nothing, just cultivating. Anything wrong?"
Mao Aru said: "The entire Feixue Island is in chaos. I came to discuss with you."
Ling Zhenfei was puzzled: "What happened?"
Mao Aru said: "It's that policy you issued. Li Lei and the others are fiercely fighting these people."
Ling Zhenfei laughed: "Don't tell me the regular army can't beat those ruffians."
Mao Aru said: "They can win the fight, but the whole island is embroiled in battles, and people fear going out."
Ling Zhenfei said: "Don't worry. It's a painful period, but it'll be fine after this phase."
Mao Aru seemed to have more to say, but held back.
Ling Zhenfei asked: "Did the Kudo Family visit?"
Mao Aru said: "The contract has been signed, and the funds have been received."
Ling Zhenfei said: "Good, follow my policy to reward Li Lei and the others; let the rest progress gradually."
Ling Zhenfei walked out alone toward the seaside and could faintly hear gunfire in the distance, sparse and scattered.
As they say, better a short pain than a protracted one; Feixue Island can slowly digest these matters, but Ling Zhenfei can't wait that long.
Ling Zhenfei can't afford to wait long, nor can Feixue Island.
Ling Zhenfei headed to the courtyard where Chen Qian and Lu Huanong stayed.
Due to the special period, many policemen patrolled the streets with guns.
Ling Zhenfei had instructed Li Lei before that no matter what actions are taken against crime, Huaxia Side's construction should not be affected; clearly, Li Lei executed excellently.
Ling Zhenfei arrived outside the courtyard; upon knocking, Lu Huanong opened the door.
"Big Brother Ling, you're here."
Ling Zhenfei walked in: "It's a bit dangerous these days. Don't go out at all."
Lu Huanong said: "I know, Brother also said so."
Ling Zhenfei said: "I came to discuss with Chen Qian. I intend to take you with me this time."
Lu Huanong was surprised: "But I want to stay here with Brother."
Ling Zhenfei said: "No, it's too dangerous here. I can't rest assured."
Lu Huanong laughed and said: "Why can't you be assured? I know there's no danger for me."
Ling Zhenfei took a pause, realizing he might've been too tense and forgot about this.
Lu Huanong can predict and calculate; naturally, she'd know she's not in danger, truly needless worrying.
Ling Zhenfei exhaled deeply and said: "Maybe I overthought it, forgetting your abilities. Since you don't wish to return, I'll go alone."
Lu Huanong said: "I long to meet my Brother again after so many years. But I should wait for him."
Ling Zhenfei said: "Alright, we never know when we'll meet again after this farewell."
Lu Huanong turned somber: "Could you not go to the Foreign Land?"
Ling Zhenfei asked: "Why?"
Lu Huanong's face turned grim and said: "I never had a good impression of the Foreign Land. My father had troubles returning from there."
Ling Zhenfei replied: "Don't worry; I'll be fine."
Lu Huanong said: "That's not how things go, considering I can't see the Foreign Land's situation, it makes me uneasy."
Ling Zhenfei said: "Not seeing from another world, it's normal if you can't calculate it."
Lu Huanong said: "Those unseen things are beyond my control, which unsettles me, especially what's worrying me."
Ling Zhenfei knew that Lu Huanong wanted to talk about some heavenly predictions, quickly stopped her: "Don't say it, predictions of this nature—better left unsaid."
Lu Huanong said: "I must speak on this matter."
Ling Zhenfei, frustrated, said: "I barely managed to rescue you, I don't want a repeat."
Lu Huanong didn't heed Ling Zhenfei and said: "I calculated many future events.
Starting from when you entered the Foreign Land Space, pushing forward to a year ahead, yet I still find no trace of you." This left Ling Zhenfei taken aback; if anyone else spoke, he would doubt them.
But Ling Zhenfei trusted Lu Huanong's ability, leaving no room for doubts.
Everything Lu Huanong predicted seemed to happen.
Ling Zhenfei couldn't help but feel uncertain; would he truly perish in the Foreign Land Space?
Ling Zhenfei said: "Perhaps I came out from another exit, hence didn't calculate accurately?"
Lu Huanong said: "Regardless of the exit, you should be coming to Feixue Island; yet from here I haven't found your trace."
Ling Zhenfei sighed upon hearing this.
He wasn't familiar with Lu Huanong's calculations, but her words made clear that Lu Huanong used locations to project; she calculated the date when Ling Zhenfei would've arrived here next.
Having calculated a year ahead without visiting Feixue Island, she deduced something surely went wrong.
Ling Zhenfei said: "Not visiting Feixue Island for a year is possible; you know I've entrusted the island's construction to Chen Qian, so it's normal if I don't come during domestic phases."
Lu Huanong said: "You're just stubborn; although I can't feel your death, logically it's unlikely for you to not visit Feixue Island for a year, suggesting trouble in the Foreign Land."
