An Old Child (3)

"No?" Fanxin frowned immediately, even more puzzled. Why did she have that feeling while others didn't? Was she different?

"How strange," Fanxin murmured to himself.

"That's a bit strange." Ren Fang looked at Fanxin, her face immediately lighting up with a smile, and said, "You're really lucky to have obtained that longevity ability."

"This is not a good thing." Fanxin shook his head. He could live a long life, but Ren Fang could not. He would be all alone in the future, and that would not be a good life.

"Sigh, some things can't be forced, so just accept it with a clear conscience." Ren Fang smiled bitterly. She wanted to stay with Fanxin forever, until the end of her life; that was her wish. However, Fanxin seemed to have gained the ability to live a long life now, and he could live much longer than her. It was impossible for her to stay with him forever.

"Alright!" Fanxin nodded, pondered for a moment, and said, "I'll figure it out as soon as possible and see if we can separate them. If we can, then we'll distribute them, one for each person. What do you think?"

He didn't want to live alone; that kind of life was too lonely and unbearable. How wonderful it would be if all his companions could live on.

"Okay, go and study it yourself." Ren Fang nodded and smiled.

Fanxin nodded slightly and began to eat. After finishing her meal, Fanxin spoke with Ren Fang for a while before leaving the Diamond Space.

Immediately, he found the Little Black Cat and the Little Fox, took them away from the fleet, saying they were going to hunt Sea Kings, and then jumped into the sea and disappeared.

Once they reached the depths of the ocean, Fanxin returned to the Diamond Space. He went to the Little Black Cat and the Little Fox, and asked with a serious expression, "Do you feel anything unusual about your bodies? Like when you were inside the monster?"

Upon hearing this, the Little Black Cat and the Little Fox were taken aback for a moment, then both began to investigate. After a long while, they both opened their eyes and shook their heads.

"No, I feel exactly the same as before I entered the monster's body," the Little Black Cat said.

"Me too." The Little Fox looked at Fanxin, puzzled, and asked, "Why did you drag us here so mysteriously?"

Upon hearing this, Fanxin laughed and cried at the same time. He was now even more certain that he was the only one who possessed that thing. He truly couldn't understand why, among so many people who had entered the monster's body, only he possessed it. This didn't make sense.

"What's wrong? Is something wrong with your health?" The Little Fox's eyelids twitched, and it looked at Fanxin with some unease. The Little Black Cat did the same.

The two of them were the first to follow Fanxin, setting sail with Fanxin from the East Blue, and have never been separated since. They have a very close relationship, and they know that Fanxin would be very upset if something happened to him.

Fanxin smiled and said, "Don't be nervous, it's not a bad thing, it's a good thing. Hehe, of course, for me, it's probably a bad thing."

"Is it a good thing or a bad thing?" The Little Black Cat was confused and couldn't tell whether it was a good thing or a bad thing.

"I have discovered the secret to longevity," Fanxin sighed and said.

"Ah, you mean, you can live forever?" The Little Black Cat was stunned for a moment, then overjoyed. That was what they had been searching for all along, and they never expected that Fanxin would find it.

"I'm not going to die forever, but I'm definitely going to live a longer life." Fanxin pointed to his dantian and said, "There's a golden sphere there, radiating golden light. That light radiates throughout my body, reducing my bodily functions to a minimum, just like inside the monster."

Upon hearing this, the Little Black Cat and the Little Fox looked at Fanxin's dantian with shining eyes, as if they were looking at a priceless treasure.

Fanxin Xin slapped each of them across the face, saying irritably, "Hey, I called you here to do serious business, can you stop making that face?"

"What's wrong?" the Little Black Cat asked, somewhat bewildered.

"Little Black, Little Fox, I called you two here because I hoped you could study this and see if you could separate that thing." Fanxin explained his idea.

"We don't know either, but we need to investigate first." The Little Fox thought for a moment and then asked, "Could you move that thing out?"

Upon hearing this, Fanxin Xin immediately calmed down and tried to move the thing out, but after a long time, he was covered in sweat and still hadn't succeeded.

"I can't do it," Fanxin said, shaking her head in frustration.

"That's difficult then." The Little Fox pondered for a moment and said, "How about this, I'll separate a wisp of my soul and enter your body to see if I can get a little bit from up there. If I can, you might be able to use the Soul Clan Secret Technique to help everyone else get a little bit too."

Fanxin nodded helplessly upon hearing this and said, "Alright, give it a try. If it really doesn't work, I'll be so frustrated."

He didn't want to live forever. What was the point of living so long? All his family and friends would be dead, and he would be left to live alone in loneliness. It was too meaningless.

"Alright." Without further hesitation, the Little Fox separated a wisp of its soul and entered the Fanxin's dantian, finally heading straight for the golden sphere.

Seeing that the Little Fox had finished, Fanxin said, "Remember, before things succeed, I hope you will keep your mouths shut and absolutely not let anything leak out, understand? Money can be a powerful motivator, and I'm worried that some people might lose their patience and make a move against us. Even those on our ship might have their own ulterior motives."

Immortality is something many people pursue. For it, many are willing to fight tooth and nail.

If others found out they possessed this item, they would likely launch a furious attack. Although they were very powerful, they still faced some headaches when dealing with the monsters of the New World.

"Of course." They nodded emphatically, their expressions quite solemn.

"Alright, you two go keep the two little ones company. I'm going to hunt Sea Kings." Fanxin Xin nodded and, without further hesitation, immediately went to the seabed.

After searching the seabed for a while, Fanxin found a Sea Kings, killed it, and dragged it to the side of the ship.

The Little Black Cat gave the order, and the robots that stepped forward dismembered the Sea Kings and sealed all the meat away.

Then, Bingfeng created a frozen area and Bingfeng the excess Sea Kings meat that couldn't be placed on the ship.

After everything was settled, Fanxin and the others continued on their way.

Upon reaching the next place called Bitter Cold Island, Fanxin ordered them to stop for a few days and rest properly there.

It was extremely cold on Bitter Cold Island, with temperatures dropping to tens of degrees below zero. Snowflakes were falling everywhere, and many crew members couldn't bear it and stayed inside the ship, afraid to go out. Only Bingfeng and a few others were free to walk around outside.

"You guys stay here and keep an eye on the boat. We're going up there to take a look," Fanxin instructed, then left with Bingfeng and Sun Zhijian for Bitter Cold Island to buy supplies.

Wang Yan was left on the ship. She possessed magma abilities, which could raise the surrounding temperature, thus protecting everyone from the severe cold. With Wang Yan there, everyone's fighting strength wouldn't be significantly reduced due to the cold.

"This place is really cold. Does anyone even live here?" Fanxin looked around, her brows furrowing slightly. Everything around her was white, with snowflakes falling everywhere. There was no sound; it looked deathly silent.

He seriously doubted that anyone could survive here. Even he felt a little uncomfortable in this cold weather.

"There should be. If not, then we'll leave immediately." Bingfeng smiled calmly. She was wearing a white cheongsam, her hair casually draped behind her, and her long, beautiful legs were exposed. The cold wind howled, blowing against her legs, but she didn't react at all, as if it were a gentle spring breeze rather than a biting wind.

Fanxin glanced at her and couldn't help but exclaim in amazement. No one else possessed ice-type abilities like her, so they were not afraid of the severe cold.

Even he had to wear thick clothes to ward off the biting cold.

Meanwhile, Sun Zhijian, who was standing to the side, was already trembling. Fanxin glanced at him and threw him into the Diamond Space.

The other person was completely frozen; staying outside like that for too long would definitely be unbearable.

"Could you use your abilities to investigate?" Fanxin asked curiously. This place is all ice, and Bingfeng is an ice-based ability, so presumably you could use that to investigate the situation of this island.

"Okay, I'll give it a try." Bingfeng nodded, and her long, fair right leg instantly turned into ice at her will. A strange power flowed up her right leg and into the earth.

Fanxin sensed it and discovered that the Bingfeng could connect with the entire ice continent.

"That's really impressive." Fanxin smiled with delight, standing there watching.

A short while later, Bingfeng looked at Fanxin and said, "There are people here, and it's even a country. However, this country seems to be at war, and many people are suffering."

"Oh, what a surprise. Let's go then." Upon hearing this, Fanxin walked towards the center without hesitation. As long as there were people around, things would be much easier.

The Bingfeng followed closely behind.

After walking for two hours, they finally reached the border of that country. At this time, the country was unguarded, because a great battle was taking place within its borders. Militia and the national army were fighting each other, and the battle was very fierce. Countless drops of blood stained the snow-white earth red, a shocking sight.

The sounds of shouting and weeping mingled together, creating a chilling and desolate atmosphere.

"Which side should we help?" Bingfeng asked curiously after watching the battle below from his high vantage point.

"I investigated and found that the ruler of this country is extremely hateful. He has the power of life and death and doesn't care about human life. He seems to be a tyrant. Under his coercion, the people finally couldn't bear it anymore and rose up in rebellion." Fanxin smiled and said, "What can we do to help such a tyrant?"

"I understand." Bingfeng nodded, then leaped from the high ground, landing directly in the center of the battle.

With a thought, Bingfeng unleashed countless streams of icy power, which, under her control, swiftly moved towards the armored Nationalist soldiers. Wherever they passed, the icy power sliced through their warm armor, allowing the cold to seep through the gaps and directly affect their skin.

The Nationalist soldiers couldn't help but shiver; the chill seeped into their bodies, slowing their movements and freezing their flesh.

Having suffered losses, the militia's morale soared, and they charged forward, soon defeating and binding countless Nationalist soldiers.

Bingfeng struck again, breaching the city gates and helping everyone defeat all the Nationalist troops inside the city.

In just over ten minutes, the once-aggressive Nationalist army was completely defeated, and the militia completely seized the upper hand.

The arrogant king was shouting orders for his men to rise up and fight. However, no one stepped forward, for they were all bound and frozen by the intense cold, rendering them unable to muster even a tenth or a twentieth of their fighting strength.

A militia leader walked over. He was a tall man, wrapped in thick clothes, looking like a Kuma. Only his eyes were visible, making it impossible to see his face clearly.

He walked over, bowed deeply to Bingfeng, and expressed his gratitude. This time, if Bingfeng hadn't intervened in time, they would probably all have been killed. After all, they were just militiamen, poorly equipped and lacking sophisticated weapons. The Nationalist army, on the other hand, was fully Armament and had various resources and supplies. Compared to them, they had no advantage in any way.

This is an asymmetrical war, but they have no choice but to intervene. The ruler is too selfish and too cruel; if things continue like this, they will all be tortured to death. Rather than be tortured to death, they might as well stand up and resist the tyranny of the opposing ruler.

Even if they die in battle, they will do so willingly.

They thought they were going to die, but unexpectedly, a benefactor came to their aid, allowing them to achieve a great victory. From then on, they no longer had to suffer under the rule of that tyrant and could live a peaceful and stable life.

All of this is thanks to the Bingfeng. How could they not be grateful?

Bingfeng smiled calmly and said, "You all take care of these matters first. I'm only here to buy food and seasonings from you. You're busy right now, I can wait."

"I see. Don't worry, we have plenty of seasonings and food here. If you want, we'll get it ready as soon as possible," the man wrapped up like Kuma said with a smile.

"Alright, I'll just wander around. You guys get on with it as soon as possible." Bingfeng smiled sweetly, then drifted away, wandering around the city alone.

Everyone was amazed and envious to see that she was dressed so lightly yet unaffected by the cold.

Immediately, they stopped talking and began to deal with the tyrant and his soldiers, busying themselves with their tasks.

Fanxin didn't disturb them, glanced at the city with a smile, and followed them into the city. Inside the imperial city built of ice blocks, he wandered around and began to examine it.
