Chapter 391: Sleeping in Each Other’s Arms
Everyone was somewhat astonished; Xun Qianqian was a bit too impatient!
However, being able to teleport was a good thing, indicating she could also use the Illusionary Ring now!
The only question was whether the place she entered was still the previous world.
In the following time, everyone started to wait anxiously, one minute, two minutes, and Xun Qianqian hadn’t come back yet.
After three minutes had passed, Li Fei’er couldn’t help but express her concern with a worried face, "Could Sister Qianqian have been teleported to an extraterrestrial planet?"
"How is that possible? It won’t happen!" Ling Feng patted her head.
Just after he finished speaking, a flash of white light filled the room, and Xun Qianqian returned to everyone’s side with a smile.
"How was it?" everyone asked in unison.
"Hehe, nothing changed; it’s still the same as before. I made sure to walk around in two locations, and the traces we left behind are still there!" Xun Qianqian said with a chuckle.
Only then did everyone completely relax!
But Ling Feng found it a bit strange, why was it that when he received the ring from that old man, the Nine Heavens was completely empty?
With puzzlement, he said to Xun Qianqian, "Has the ring acknowledged a new master now?"
"I have no idea, I didn’t feel anything," Xun Qianqian shook her head.
Ling Feng, out of curiosity, took the ring back and put it on his hand. The familiar sensation enveloped his mind once again; it was an inexplicable feeling of connection, clearly indicating that the ring still belonged to him!
He tried the teleportation and found that he could also enter and exit the Nine Heavens just like before, which left Ling Feng even more baffled.
However, now was not the time to delve into this issue. Returning to everyone, he handed the Illusionary Ring back to Xun Qianqian and said with a smile, "This is good. From now on, when I’m not around, you all can teleport anytime you want!"
"Don’t worry, I don’t have as much to deal with as you do. By the time you come back, who knows, I might have opened up the entire Nine Heavens!" Xun Qianqian declared.
"Don’t boast too much. You’d better not be too reckless, or I’ll deal with you when I get back!" Ling Feng glared at her.
In response, Xun Qianqian wasn’t convinced and rolled her eyes with a snort.
The next morning, Ling Feng drove Chen Yuhe out of Shiliu Village and embarked on their journey to the Demon Capital.
There was no direct transportation from the county town, so the two had to first go to the provincial city and then take the high-speed rail from there.
Halfway through the journey, seeing Chen Yuhe staring out of the window in silence, Ling Feng couldn’t help asking, "Have you been to the Demon Capital before?"
"Mhm."
"Then you’ll have to be my guide this time. You know I’ve never been further than the provincial city," Ling Feng said with a smile.
"Okay," Chen Yuhe nodded.
Seeing her react this way, Ling Feng let out a sigh, "Are you still thinking about Lei Ming’s matter? He has already received his just deserts; you should try to let it go."
Chen Yuhe turned to look at him, "I know, it’ll be okay in a few days."
"That’s good, I haven’t seen your smile for quite some time," Ling Feng said wistfully.
Chen Yuhe didn’t say anything more and continued to gaze out of the window, lost in thought.
Upon reaching the provincial city, they parked the vehicle in a parking lot, then transferred to a high-speed train. After several hours of travel, they arrived in the Demon Capital as evening was setting in.
Only upon their arrival did Chen Yuhe begin to recover slightly, assuming her responsibilities as a guide, she booked a hotel and led the way for Ling Feng to get there by car.
The two of them had hardly brought any luggage, so after settling down in their room, Ling Feng asked, "Do you want to go out for a walk?"
"No, I’m a bit tired; I want to take a bath and rest," Chen Yuhe replied.
Ling Feng didn’t insist and nodded, "That’s fine, we have plenty of time; there’s no rush at this moment."
As the lights began to twinkle on, Ling Feng stood at the window, overlooking the night view of a large part of the Demon Capital, and fell into deep thought.
At that moment, the sound of the room door opening came from behind, and turning his head, he saw Chen Yuhe wrapped in a bath towel, coming out of the bathroom.
Having finished her bath, she looked radiant and much more spirited. Ling Feng smiled and said, "Won’t you eat something before going back to sleep?"
"No need, I want to go back to my room. Do you want to come?" Chen Yuhe bit her lips, asking hesitantly.
"Sure."
How could Ling Feng refuse? She looked so pitiable; it was precisely the time she needed comforting.
After the two returned to the bedroom from the bathroom and lay on the bed, Chen Yuhe naturally snuggled into Ling Feng’s embrace.
For a long while, in silence, Ling Feng had no improper thoughts in mind; he only hoped he could offer her enough comfort and a sense of security.
He didn’t know how much time had passed when he began to hear Chen Yuhe’s faint snoring beside him. Ling Feng glanced at her and saw that she had fallen asleep.
Her sleeping face was serene and peaceful, with a hint of a sweet smile, which made his heart soften as he realized Lin Xue’s suggestion was indeed a good one!
It had been a while since the two of them had time alone together, and it was even longer since they had shared a bed.
Now it seemed that this was the best way to comfort her.
The night passed peacefully, and the next morning, Chen Yuhe opened her eyes to find Ling Feng watching her. She smiled and said, "You’re awake?"
"Yeah, I woke up just a few minutes before you!"
Ling Feng looked at her little face, feeling a warmth in his heart.
Chen Yuhe struggled a little: "Then I’ll go order breakfast. What would you like to eat?"
"You decide; something local would be best. Since we’re here, we should try something new, right?" Ling Feng said with a smile.
"Okay, leave it to me!"
Chen Yuhe’s steps were light as she dashed out of the bedroom.
Feeling her mood had greatly improved, Ling Feng breathed a sigh of relief and also got out of bed.
After washing up, the hotel service staff also delivered breakfast.
Just as he was about to eat, Ling Feng’s phone rang; the voice on the other end belonged to a woman: "Major Ling, is it?"
"Yes, it’s me. Who is this?"
"This is the Demon Capital branch of the Security Bureau. The International Security Conference starts at four o’clock this afternoon. Could Major Ling please find time to come to our branch this morning?" the other party asked.
Ling Feng nodded: "Okay, I’ll set off soon."
After hanging up the phone, he turned to look at Chen Yuhe: "Didn’t expect there to be something as soon as we arrived!"
"It’s okay, you do your thing; I can go shopping by myself," Chen Yuhe said.
"That’s fine then; remember to buy some gifts for everyone. It doesn’t matter for others, but if you return empty-handed, Li Fei’er will pout so high—" Ling Feng said with a laugh.
At the mention of this, Chen Yuhe also laughed and nodded: "I know, I’ll remember."
Seeing her relaxed demeanor, Ling Feng continued to ask, "By the way, do you have enough money? Do you want me to transfer some to you?"
"No need, I have enough," Chen Yuhe shook her head.
After breakfast, as Ling Feng was preparing to leave, Chen Yuhe came to his side and carefully adjusted his collar and hem.
Ling Feng watched her serious motions, feeling warm inside, and he couldn’t help but embrace her.
"Don’t move, I just fixed it!"
Chen Yuhe snorted coyly, pushing him away.
"Seeing you like this, it’s great!" Ling Feng looked into her eyes.
