Talk Them Around, Then Head Home!

Of course, this refers to a sense of relief or satisfaction.

When the food was served, Ling Feng had just taken a sip of soup when he couldn't help but spit it out.

This scene was witnessed by many people, who wondered if the food was poisoned or something. Even the staff were startled by his actions.

Is this a staged accident scam?

Helpless, Ling Feng had to explain and apologize again.

However, he really couldn't eat anymore. He felt like he couldn't even drink a sip of soup, and the sight of the food on the table made him feel nauseous.

What the hell?

Has he developed anorexia again?

Ling Feng really didn't know what the reason was; it seemed that he had this feeling ever since he returned from Chongming City.

But he didn't seem to remember doing anything. Apart from being seriously injured once, nothing seemed to have happened, right?

We ordered so much food, but it wasn't appetizing, and we didn't want to waste it, so we ended up packing it up to take home.

As he left the restaurant and returned to the Catgirl Café, he ran into Fang Zi and Ling Luoluo standing at the entrance.

As soon as Ling Luoluo saw Ling Feng, she immediately rushed over.

Whether it was due to Ling Feng's own fault or Ling Luoluo's excessive strength, he was pushed back several steps and almost fell!

What?!

Ling Feng was startled. Had he really become so worthless?

The thought of my sister pouncing on me as the older brother would be incredibly ridiculous.

Fang Zi, watching from the side, couldn't help but laugh out loud. However, she quickly noticed that Ling Feng's situation was not right and immediately spoke up.

"Luo Luo, shall we go inside first? I need to talk to your brother about something."

Upon hearing this, Ling Luoluo immediately nodded obediently and rushed into the coffee shop without disturbing the two.

When Ling Feng was pulled into that familiar study by Fang Zi, he felt his face burning hot.

His eyes were blurry, and there was a sense of desolation about him; he was almost too agitated to control himself...

This seems to be his current state.

"Xiaofeng, are you feeling very uncomfortable? Have you done anything lately?"

At this moment, Fang Zi also couldn't figure out what exactly was wrong with Ling Feng.

Is it magic?

Without understanding the cause, she cannot prescribe the right remedy.

"I don't know."

Ling Feng answered weakly, seemingly struggling to breathe. In the end, Fang Zi drew a small Stillness Formation to help him recover.

Generally speaking, any illness can be cured with healing magic or potions, but Ling Feng's case is indeed somewhat strange; even she, Hall-tier mage, couldn't figure out the cause.

"Is it some kind of magical curse?"

"Xiaofeng, have you fought any Magical Girls recently?" Fang Zi asked with a hint of doubt.

However, Ling Feng shook his head.

He hasn't fought with Magical Girls in ages, how could he possibly be involved with them?

"Why don't you stay here tonight? I'll keep an eye on you in case anything happens."

After much thought, Fang Zi couldn't find a safer method for the time being; she couldn't let anything happen to Ling Feng.

Fang Zi had considered asking Ling Xiaoyu, but she didn't think Ling Xiaoyu was more skilled in healing magic than she was.

After inquiring about Ling Feng's specific situation, Fang Zi went to look through the magic book on her own.

Ling Feng was quite grateful, but apart from feeling a little off, he didn't actually feel any discomfort.

"Sister Fang, how about coming again sometime? It's really no problem."

"How can that be? Lie down on the sofa obediently. What if something happens? How am I supposed to explain this to your sister?"

"This has nothing to do with Sister Fang. I know my own situation very well. Maybe I'll be fine by tomorrow?" Ling Feng said calmly, trying to control his emotions.

"No."

[img=640,569] Chapter Twenty-One: A quick prank, then home!

Fang Zi's insistence, Ling Feng didn't know what to do.

There's nothing we can do!

Although staying here wouldn't affect Ling Feng in any way, he had his own plans.

This symptom seems to recur every now and then; it just happened to be more severe this time.

And so far, he has gradually recovered and is completely fine!

"Sister Fang Zi..."

Finally, Ling Feng came to his senses, breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately stood up, giving Fang Zi a slight smile.

Of course, to Fang Zi, this smile was like a purifier for the soul, instantly making her blush and her heart race.

"Xiaofeng, don't misunderstand, your sister is just worried about you..."

Fang Zi paused, seemingly wanting to say something but holding back, unsure how to explain herself to dispel Ling Feng's suspicions.

Thinking about this, she now truly believed what Bai Chuting had said.

Ling Feng was originally very handsome and refined, and coupled with his inexplicable aloofness and profound temperament, he gave people an indescribable purity and holiness.

Seeing him smile like that for the first time, it would be a lie to say I wasn't moved at all.

"Sigh, I thought Fang Zi was going to eat me alive, but it turns out I was just overthinking it."

Fang Zi had fallen for his trap, Ling Feng pretended to shake his head with regret, and even sighed, just like a man who was utterly disappointed in his woman! His teasing skills were off the charts!

It was as if the other party had cheated on her; a few interrogations left her in an awkward position.

Of course, life is like a play, and it all depends on acting skills.

Ling Feng's performance was all an act; he wasn't even sure he could succeed...

Who knew things would turn out this way?

So what if she 'Hall-Tier Magic girl? Fang Zi is, in the end, just an eighteen-year-old girl, a young girl experiencing her first love.

Ling Feng simply made a soft, teasing remark, adding to that his... well... strikingly handsome appearance?

It has already fallen?

Sister, do you realize your public image has been ruined?

Ling Feng was somewhat speechless, but this was the first time he had truly understood his own strength. Was he really that attractive to girls? But good looks can't put food on the table, right?

After pressing Fang Zi to sit on the sofa, Ling Feng turned serious, his obsidian-like eyes seeming to see right through people's hearts!

Fang Zi was only stunned for a second before she reacted almost instantly. The reason she was stunned for so long was because she herself couldn't quite believe it.

Because for a moment she was truly captivated by Ling Feng?!

She, a Hall-Tier Mage, actually gets infatuated?!

If people found out... wouldn't they be in deep trouble?

"Fang Zi, I know you mean well and want me to stay here to take care of me, but this isn't a long-term solution. We'll have to face the consequences sooner or later, won't we?"

Ling Feng didn't know if he had lost his mind, but he actually said something nonsensical and misleading again.

Fang Zi looked at Ling Feng's sincere gaze, her feelings were complicated and uneasy, as if a bottle of mixed emotions had been spilled. She nodded slightly and began to reflect on herself.

Is it really her problem?

Thinking of this, Fang Zi lowered her head. Beneath her delicate willow-leaf eyebrows, her beautiful eyes were filled with affection, her cherry-red lips were small and exquisite, and her gaze was as clear and gentle as the moonlight, with a hint of melancholy like wisps of smoke.

God T meow...

If Ling Feng knew what she was thinking, he probably wouldn't be able to hold his tongue.

Fang Zi did not stop him until he left.

"I never thought Xiaofeng would dare to fool me like this..."

"Next time we meet, I'll try to trick them into coming back..."

Looking in the direction Ling Feng left, Fang Zi counted on her fingers and sighed helplessly.

Although Ling Feng kept saying he was fine, how could she not see that this was just a facade and words of comfort? Who knew if any unexpected situations might arise?

It was impossible not to worry, but Fang Zi decided to respect Ling Feng's choice.

If something else goes wrong, he can always come back for help. Forcing him to stay might backfire.

I'm really not coming again!

The other end

After Ling Feng went downstairs, he immediately took Ling Luoluo and ran away, because he was really afraid that Fang Zi might change her mind at the last minute.

After all, if a Hall-Tier Magic girl really wanted to stop him, he wasn't sure if he could escape.

While it's not certain, given his current condition, it's definitely not going to work.

"Brother, what were you talking about with Sister Fang just now? Why are you leaving so suddenly?"

Ling Feng was suddenly pulled out of the coffee shop by Ling Luoluo's hand, completely bewildered and unaware of what had happened.

"It's so late. If you don't want to go home, you can go back to the coffee shop."

Ling Feng kept his gaze fixed on the main road ahead, gave a simple reply, and showed no intention of explaining.

Such a beautiful moment was nothing but fleeting smoke in his eyes; with the splendor gone, who has ever gazed upon the dimly lit place? And who has ever expressed the sorrow of parting in their writing?

"No, Luo Luo wants to go home with her brother!"

Since her brother had spoken, Ling Luoluo would never utter a word of rebuttal.

And she couldn't bear it!

After returning home, Ling Feng told Ling Luoluo to take a shower, while he himself went back to his room.

It was already night, and the starlight outside the window shone through the curtains onto the floor.

In the room, Ling Feng sat at his desk, took out the "wuxia" novel from his Destiny Space, but instead of opening it, he put it directly on the bookshelf.

He then took out the Spatial Prism and looked at himself in the mirror. Ling Feng's brows furrowed slightly, as if he were deep in thought.

One second, two seconds, three seconds...

His body trembled slightly, and finally, unable to bear it any longer, he suddenly relaxed. After trying to put aside the problems of today, he did not want to waste time on them.

I checked my phone and found a lot of messages on WeChat.

[Lin Ruoxi: Brother Ling Feng, tonight Chu Ting took me from the ancient city and we went straight home by car. Let's play again next time~]

[Ye Qingya: Xiaofeng! All your friends came today, why didn't you come? Sister Yue said it's a pity...]

[Qiu Yun'er: Is Ling Feng out on a trip? I looked for you before but you weren't home. I'll come find you next time!]

[Zhao Ping:^%$&#$#&$?*?!]

Ling Feng: "..."

Ling Feng felt that his personality was becoming increasingly cold and indifferent, though he didn't care about the changes in himself. He was always worried about affecting the people around him.

Was it affected by some external factor?

Ling Feng had actually noticed that since becoming Astral Mark Girl, the troubles he encountered had been increasing one after another.
