Chapter 1732 - 1731: Negotiation
"Got it, master!"
Tian Lian said, then fell silent.
Ling Feng leaned back on the sofa, closed his eyes, and thought for a moment. Then hearing the door open, he knew it was Chen Fei coming out.
When he opened his eyes, he saw a beauty who had just taken a bath, wrapped in a thin gauze dress, her hair a bit damp, her face showing both shyness and joy, leaving Ling Feng stunned!
Chen Fei lightly bit her lip and, seeing Ling Feng’s passionate gaze, felt secretly delighted!
No words were needed at this moment. After making eye contact for a moment, Ling Feng stood up, went forward, picked up the beauty, and directly headed to the bedroom!
In the deep night, seeing Chen Fei already asleep, Ling Feng got out of bed and went to the downstairs living room.
A flash of white light, Tian Lian appeared and asked faintly: "Master, is it time to talk to that guy?"
"Hmm, bring him out!"
After Ling Feng nodded, a shadow flashed before him, and then a half-meter-tall monkey appeared on the ground.
"Since we can communicate, I won’t waste words. I hear you’re not a species from this planet, so where did you come from?" Ling Feng asked.
"I’m from the Blue Sea Continent. As to how I got here, I’m not sure!"
The monkey didn’t open its mouth; both were able to communicate through brainwaves.
Luckily, it’s like this; otherwise, through language, Ling Feng would have to learn from him. Who knows what sounds would come out once he learned?
Normal language is fine, but if it’s monkey chatter, Ling Feng thought, even if beaten to death, he wouldn’t want to speak that way!
Hearing the monkey mention the Blue Sea Continent, Ling Feng was stunned for a moment, then squinted: "What kind of place is that?"
"It’s my homeland. The creatures on our continent are all like me, completely different from those in your place!" the monkey said.
Ling Feng nodded with an intrigued expression, then asked, "How come you don’t know how you got here? Are you hiding something on purpose?"
"Not at all!"
The monkey said this and then explained, "Since I’ve decided to communicate with you, it’s natural to say everything without hiding anything. I was living quite freely on the Blue Sea Continent until one day I was struck by heavenly lightning, and ended up here. All I’ve been doing is trying to return to my home!"
Struck by heavenly lightning?
Did this guy come through a crossover?
Ling Feng frowned and thought for a moment, then sneered, "Just trying to go home isn’t a reason to harm others, right? Do you know that absorbing human energy could cost them their lives!"
"Different species—they’re not my kind. I don’t need to have any compassion for them, just like how you humans treat other creatures!" the monkey said.
These words made some sense, and Ling Feng paused, then nodded: "Alright, you’re right in a way, but now that I’ve stopped you, you must not harm others anymore!"
"What about my wish to go home?" the monkey asked.
Ling Feng wanted to say, "Why should I care?" It’s not my responsibility!
But after thinking for a moment, he asked, "Are you saying you can return to your world by relying on human energy?"
"I just need to cultivate to the Ninth Tier, then I can use racial talent to tear open space and return home!" the monkey said.
Ling Feng was speechless; Ninth Tier, is that a joke? Who can reach that easily?
Even Wang Cai and others, benefiting from the powerful spiritual energy of the Nine Heavens, are only Sixth Tier creatures now!
This monkey’s boast is quite bold!
After pondering for a while, Ling Feng nodded, "I understand. Wanting to cultivate and go home is understandable, but harming others is something I absolutely cannot allow. We must think of a compromising solution now!"
"What solution?" the monkey asked.
Ling Feng smiled: "You have to come up with this solution yourself. Don’t forget your current status; you are my prisoner. I could have eliminated you for what you’ve done but considering your difficult cultivation and that your intentions weren’t truly to harm people, I’m giving you a chance to communicate."
Monkey: "..."
After a moment of silence, he realized Ling Feng was right; given his current status, he really wasn’t in a position to negotiate.
After thinking it over, he said, "How about this? Although Spiritual Energy isn’t my favorite thing, I can barely use it. You can provide me with some Spirit Stones from this world!"
Ling Feng acknowledged, "And then? Just give it to you for nothing, why?"
The monkey fell silent again.
This time, after a long pause and hesitation, he said, "I can serve you for a while, until the day I can break through the spatial barrier and return to my homeland!"
It’s exactly what Ling Feng wanted. Hearing this, he nodded and asked, "This is barely acceptable, but why should I trust you? What if you’re just biding time and planning to escape?"
Before the monkey could speak, Tian Lian immediately said, "Master, don’t worry. If he tries to escape, I’ll have Little Hei and Jin Gang hunt him down!"
"That’s right, they truly have the ability to deal with me!" the monkey agreed.
Ling Feng smiled when he heard this and nodded, "Alright, let’s settle it this way then!"
"My name is Lord of the Blue Sea; you can call me that from now on!"
The monkey said, and with a flash, the figure disappeared.
Ling Feng felt somewhat speechless, thinking to himself, Lord of the Blue Sea? Quite the boast, I’ll just call you Blue Sea, you’re not my master!
Then, looking at Tian Lian, he smiled and said, "Thanks a lot for today."
"No need to be polite, Master; it’s my duty!"
Tian Lian nodded slightly, and then, with a flash of light, disappeared as well.
Ling Feng stood up, stretched, and returned to the upstairs bedroom happily.
...
...
The next morning, sunlight poured into the room through the curtains as Chen Fei slowly woke up.
"Did you sleep well?" Ling Feng asked with a smile.
"Pretty good, but I had a strange dream!" Chen Fei laughed.
Ling Feng froze: "What strange dream?"
"I dreamed that you negotiated with that monkey from last night!" Chen Fei covered her mouth and laughed, her eyes full of mischief.
"Uh, believe it or not, I really did negotiate with him, amazing that you dreamed of it!" Ling Feng said with a bitter smile.
Chen Fei chuckled: "Silly, I actually woke up and heard you, otherwise how could I possibly dream it!"
"Oh? I didn’t speak with that monkey, just mental exchange, yet you could hear it?" Ling Feng asked in surprise.
"I don’t know why either; I could hear your conversation anyway. Maybe it’s because of changes in my body; I’ve been feeling much more energetic lately!" Chen Fei said.
Ling Feng thought for a while, looked at her, and said, "Let Ling Yao check you later, maybe you’ve evolved some new ability!"
