30. An Unexpected Encounter? / 31. The Lixing Branch!

"Yay! Brother Ling Feng, please get me some too. I got up in a rush this morning, and Luo Luo hasn't eaten yet!" Hearing Ling Feng's words, Ling Luoluo cheered with joy.

"A bucket of instant noodles!" Su Xiaoxiao called out, her friendly smile infectious even to those sitting nearby.

"I also..."

Zhao Ping also tried to ask for it, but Ling Feng, lacking any sense of martial ethics, punched him directly on the head.

"Come with me to get it!"

"Fine, fine, fine, I'll do whatever you say!"

Zhao Ping didn't retaliate after being hit by Ling Feng, but what puzzled him was that Ling Feng seemed to have hit him much less hard than before.

And it doesn't hurt at all!

Was he doing this on purpose? Was it to avoid hurting me? Otherwise, given his reputation as the "Great Demon King" from middle school, would he really let me off the hook?

Zhao Ping thought strangely, then turned his head and asked again, "Try hitting me again?"

Ling Feng: "..."

Ignoring Zhao Ping's idiot words, Ling Feng got up and prepared to leave.

He began to suspect that Zhao Ping had truly been beaten senseless; otherwise, what kind of idiot would ask someone else to beat them?

Oh no, I can't hit this idiot anymore!

Ling Feng made a silent vow.

Chapter Thirty: An Unexpected Encounter?

Ling Feng and Zhao Ping bought everything the group wanted, and even prepared instant noodles for them.

Considering that instant noodles have a strong smell, and that each brand of instant noodles has a different flavor, they can cause a lot of unpleasant odors in the carriage, affecting other passengers' moods.

So Su Xiaoxiao had secretly used magic to separate them from each other, and even used an illusion to make it impossible for others to tell that it was instant noodles. Among the group, only Zhao Ping was carefree and just kept his head down eating!

Passengers are not allowed to boil water on the train, but each carriage has an electric kettle, so there's no need to boil water yourself, which is very convenient.

However, the instant noodles sold on the bus are quite expensive, costing 20 yuan a cup?!

If it weren't for these people wanting to eat, Ling Feng would rather go hungry.

While getting water, Ling Feng also spent some points to clean himself.

Although he usually appears indifferent and apathetic, he is actually quite clean and hygienic.

"Xiaoling, have you done your homework properly? I heard that the people of Chongming City still retain the lifestyle of the ancients! And they are very hostile towards us outsiders!"

"Huh? Really? Are we walking into the lion's den? Oh well, don't worry! We're Magical Girls, what could possibly threaten us?"

Compared to Lan Yuxin's worries, Tang Ling seemed energetic and completely unconcerned.

After all, besides those Astral Mark Girl, who else could withstand such a large fireball?

As for martial arts?

To be honest, Tang Ling didn't really believe it. Even if it were true, so what? Could those people possibly withstand magic?

What kind of international joke is this!?

That's magic!

"Yuxin, Xiaoling, we're just going there to have fun. Why do you guys sound like we're going to fight? Besides, this world even has magic, so the possibility of martial arts still existing is quite high. We need to be rational."

Sitting in the seat furthest to the side, Liu Yinxuan felt a bit overwhelmed. These two hadn't done any research before coming out; if they were out in public, they could easily be fooled.

"Anything else? Don't keep saying it preserves the lifestyle of the ancients. This isn't Black Tortoise Kingdom. I looked up some information online before, and I heard that it only preserves some traditions, and the economic level there is no worse than our Linzhuo."

After thinking for a while, Liu Yinxuan to Tang Ling and Lan Yuxin and said.

"Okay, my good class monitor!"

"Okay, my good class monitor!"

The two responded simultaneously, but their faces remained beaming with smiles.

However, Tang Ling was somewhat surprised by this, "Sister Yin Xuan, Linzhou City can be considered a medium-sized city, but Chongming City's economy is actually comparable?"

"Their tourism industry is doing well," Liu Yinxuan explained.

Upon hearing this, Tang Ling immediately nodded, indicating that she understood.

My gaze shifted slightly...

Now...

She spotted another acquaintance!

Tang Ling, who was naturally outgoing, ignored Liu Yinxuan and Lan Yuxin and waved directly at Ling Feng.

"Ling Feng!"

Tang Ling shouted these words, and Liu Yinxuan and Lan Yuxin could definitely hear them, so Liu Yinxuan looked over as well and waved with a smile.

Lan Yuxin originally wanted to greet them, but when she saw the two beautiful girls sitting opposite Ling Feng, she suddenly stopped her hand, which was only halfway outstretched.

I don't know what to say. It feels like the words I want to say are stuck in my throat, and I just can't say them.

"Little brother Ling Feng, there's a girl at the next table calling you!"

Su Xiaoxiao noticed the girls sitting a few seats at the next table and immediately spoke up to remind them, not forgetting to give Ling Feng a teasing smile.

Ling Feng was speechless after seeing this. He felt that any woman could flirt with him at will, and he was utterly speechless.

Also, it's quite novel to meet someone on the same train at this time of day.

"What a coincidence! You guys are going too... um..."

Ling Feng was about to ask them if they were also going to Nanyang, but he held back before he could say it.

Thinking about the recruitment notice that Liu Yinxuan and the others had posted in the class group, plus the final destination of this bus, he felt that the question was a bit stupid.

"Ling Feng is also going to Nanyang. Why didn't he come with us?"

Liu Yinxuan asked, slightly puzzled. But when she saw the two Little Mei, Ling Luoluo and Su Xiaoxiao, she suddenly understood and gave Ling Feng a knowing look.

Ling Feng often received "homework" support from Liu Yinxuan, the class monitor, in class, so he couldn't really say anything and just made up a reason to get by.

"Hey, Ling Feng, aren't you going to introduce him to us?" Tang Ling raised an eyebrow at Ling Feng, a mischievous grin on her face, her meaning quite clear.

Zhao Ping and the others knew each other, after all, they had been Ling Feng's best friends since junior high school. So now, when Zhao Ping looked at Liu Yinxuan and the other two, he immediately activated his invincible social mode. When acquaintances meet, they are extremely envious and their enthusiasm is overflowing!

"Hey, Ling Luoluo, my sister found me somewhere to look after her younger sister, and then, Sister Xiao Xiao came here from Yanjing for a visit."

Ling Feng said it in a completely ordinary way, but his words sounded particularly grating to Ling Luoluo's ears.

Although Ling Luoluo forced herself to endure it, she still felt extremely uncomfortable that her own brother would introduce his sister like that...

But she knew Ling Feng was completely unaware of the truth, so she didn't say anything, only smiled and nodded.

Ling Feng's gaze was sharp. He caught a glimpse of Ling Luoluo's expression out of the corner of his eye, and after a thoughtful look, he said nothing. Instead, he realized he had inadvertently called Su Xiaoxiao" sister" just now...

Unsurprisingly, Tang Ling was startled when she heard Ling Feng say that. Before she could speak, Su Xiaoxiao started talking with a smile.

"Well, don't let my appearance fool you, I'm actually over eighteen years old and an adult!"

Su Xiaoxiao sighed softly, then turned her gaze to Ling Feng, "Little brother Ling Feng has been naughty, revealing his sister's secret like that~"

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to!"

Realizing he was in the wrong, Ling Feng quickly apologized. Luckily, it was just the class monitor and the others; otherwise, the impact might have been much greater.

Although Su Xiaoxiao herself didn't care much, it was still better to be careful when she was out in public.

Liu Yinxuan and Tang Ling found it rather strange, and even a little amusing. They had initially thought it was some kind of special term.

But compared to the ordinariness of Liu Yinxuan and Tang Ling, Lan Yuxin felt somewhat empty, especially when Ling Feng and Su Xiaoxiao talked, they seemed so harmonious and happy, and then there was his "new" younger sister...

Noticing Lan Yuxin's gaze, Ling Feng simply gave her a faint, friendly smile.

He had originally intended to offer a normal greeting, but Guo Lan Yuxin spoke first.

"Is Ling Feng also going to watch the Martial Arts Tournament?"

"Huh?" Ling Feng didn't expect Lan Yuxin to suddenly ask such a question.

"Actually..."

"What a coincidence, us too! We can get together sometime if we have the chance."

Ling Feng: "..."

Ling Feng wanted to speak, but Lan Yuxin wouldn't give him the chance, so in the end Su Xiaoxiao answered for him.

Zhao Ping knew about Lan Yuxin's past relationship with Ling Feng, but he was definitely on Ling Feng's side, so he didn't say anything more, because that was the most basic respect for his brother!

Chapter Thirty-One: The Departure Branch!

For the rest of the time, Ling Feng remained silent, simply burying his head in his novel.

After all, there's still a long time to go, and it's impossible to chat with them forever. Can we really talk non-stop for hours?

However, Su Xiaoxiao and Liu Yinxuan talked a lot more, chatting amongst themselves, and even Ling Luoluo was pulled into the conversation.

The conversation covered a lot of topics, but later it unexpectedly drifted to Magical Girls. Ling Luoluo listened with great interest and even joined in the discussion, much to the surprise of Su Xiaoxiao, Lan Yuxin, Liu Yinxuan, and Tang Ling.

However, during their conversation, they both vaguely realized that the other was Magical Girls?! That's just ridiculous!

Ling Feng pretended to turn his head away, acting as if he didn't know what they were talking about.

Out of sight, out of mind!

"Ling Feng, what are they talking about? It sounds like magic!"

Upon seeing this, Zhao Ping quickly leaned close to Ling Feng's ear and whispered something to him, while slightly covering his face with one hand, which made him look rather foolish.

Ling Feng ignored him and continued reading his novel.

However, after reading the last chapter, he couldn't help but frown, because he discovered that the book's last update was actually two years ago!

He used to borrow other people's phones to log into his account to read novels, so I can still find it now. I just never expected that, without careful attention, it would end up being a complete flop!

And even now, there are still many comments urging for more updates...

[Author, please update soon! I'm waiting to read it!]

When will you update?

[Reporting the 15042nd request for an update.]

[Sigh, this is already the 2333rd one this month. The author isn't filling in the plot holes; it's just too much of a rip-off.]

[It's said that his readers have already reported him as a missing person.]

[If the author doesn't update soon, we'll all starve!]

[I can't remember anything from before, and I've been rereading it these past couple of days. My nearsightedness is probably going to worsen. Please update soon! This sluggishness is making me lose heart.]

[Water it with nutrient solution every day to fatten it up and make it grow bigger.]

[I really hope to see an update from you tomorrow morning!]

Even after a two-year hiatus, people are still urging for more updates. That alone shows just how popular this book is, right?

When Ling Feng saw this comment, he almost couldn't resist breaking through the dimensional barrier to go in and beat someone up!

It's been two years since the last update, and now this guy dares to ask for monthly votes?!

Who gave you the courage?!

Liang Jingru?!

Ling Feng immediately shut down the page and exited the book's interface. Without any hesitation, he deleted the book from his bookshelf.

But the thought of the unfinished storyline makes him feel incredibly uncomfortable.

The female protagonist has not yet found her parents...
