33. Brother Ping's Fury!! / 34. The Storyteller~

Tang Ling felt it was a pity that Tang Xiaohua didn't come. She also liked it when there were many people around, as it was more lively. But basically everyone in the class was either staying at home or preparing to go on a trip with their parents.

Fortunately, the Magical Girls trio's bond is stronger than ever, and their affection for each other is as deep as the sea. Having weathered storms together, their friendship remains as strong as ever.

Walking together, Lan Yuxin was still feeling a little down.

People always cherish what they haven't obtained, while forgetting what they already possess.

The wind has ceased, the dust has settled, the flowers have faded, and as the day grows late, I am too weary to comb my hair. Things are as they were, but people are not; everything is over, and before I can speak, tears flow.

In fact, after their last date, she already knew her place in Ling Feng's heart.

She didn't blame Ling Feng.

She just regretted that she had left a bad impression on Ling Feng from the very beginning.

I was too unrestrained; I only regret my youthful ignorance, thinking that I could joke around in any situation.

The tragedy of life is that when you want to give your whole heart to someone, you've already lost the right to do so.

She was terrified that Ling Feng would never talk to her again.

Fortunately, Ling Feng still considered her a friend, and Lan Yuxin was content with that. She asked for nothing more, but she also knew...

Ling Feng remained as gentle and understanding as he had been at the beginning, unwilling to hurt anyone around him.

Of course, this isn't about being indecisive or playing hard to get. He'll explain everything clearly and draw clear lines, consciously maintaining a distance. It's just that some people will still break those rules.

Lan Yuxin was well aware of this, so she had come to terms with it.

The group really liked the unique local customs and atmosphere of Chongming City. Even the clothing stores were different from those outside, very simple and elegant!

Tang Ling's personality is similar to Tang Xiaohua's; both are very lively and cheerful. She would wander around Liu Yinxuan and Lan Yuxin, buying all sorts of strange little trinkets!

A whole bunch!!

Things like roly-poly toys, toy trains, copper coin tigers, rabbit figurines, diabolo, Luban locks, tangrams...

She has to buy several of each of them!

Whether used as a souvenir or for collection, it is excellent!

Finally, all three of them changed into the local traditional clothing.

Tang Ling wore a jade-green blouse, a pleated skirt with scattered floral patterns and misty green grass, and a thin emerald green gauze draped over her shoulders. Her shoulders were like those of a sculpted figure, and her waist was slender and graceful, which accentuated her skin, which was as smooth as cream and as delicate as an orchid. She possessed a charming and alluring beauty.

Lan Yuxin wore a black dress and short skirt, which made her skin look even whiter than snow, and her hands were as white as jade. She also carried a folding fan, which made her look more elegant and dignified.

Liu Yinxuan also picked out one she liked. She was quite curious about how ancient costumes and modern clothes were combined; the idea was indeed quite interesting.

The three outfits cost 5,000 RMB, which is a reasonable price. As long as they look good, that's fine!

Nobody cares~

Because those Destiny Engraver are almost never short of money!

Of course, except for a few idiots who don't know how to use it!

Chapter Thirty-Three: Ping Ge's Fury!!

Meanwhile, after having lunch at the noodle shop, Ling Feng and his companions immediately found an inn nearby.

The boss was very kind; seeing that Ling Feng and his companions were young, he gave them a discount.

We booked two guest rooms!

When they went to check the rooms, Ling Luoluo thought about sneaking into Ling Feng's room, but as expected, Ling Feng simply picked her up and threw her to Su Xiaoxiao.

"Sister Xiao Xiao, please take care of Luo Luo for now. I need to go back and get ready!" Ling Feng said somewhat awkwardly.

"No problem!" Su Xiaoxiao replied with a smile.

Perhaps she also felt that Ling Luoluo was such a grown-up girl, it was indeed a bit inappropriate for her to sleep with Ling Feng.

Upon entering the room and seeing the guest rooms, Ling Feng couldn't help but think of the rooms in the palace dramas he had watched before.

A faint scent of sandalwood filled the air, and dappled sunlight streamed through the openwork carved window frames.

Walking over and taking a closer look, I saw a soft wooden bed beneath me, adorned with exquisite carvings, and a brocade quilt.

In the very center of the room was a rosewood marble table, on which were piled various calligraphic works by famous people, dozens of precious inkstones, and various pen holders, with pens inserted in the pen holders like a forest.

There was even a dressing table not far from the bed!

Useless to me...

Su Xiaoxiao paid the bill; Ling Feng didn't know how much it would cost to stay here for one night.

Su Xiaoxiao stopped Ling Feng from the start, telling him not to get close, simply because she was the one who arranged the trip, and he could just enjoy himself!

It was still early, and Ling Feng didn't want to stay there any longer, so he got up and left the room.

At this moment, Ling Luoluo and Su Xiaoxiao's room was still closed. Standing at the door, he could vaguely hear their voices. Ling Feng didn't pay attention and went downstairs first.

The front desk was decorated in a very simple and elegant style, with many antiques displayed on the sandalwood shelves, including the twelve zodiac animal pictures, blue and white porcelain, and exquisite ceramic products, which looked quite valuable.

"Excuse me, how much did our room cost?" Ling Feng asked the female manager, who was dressed in modern Hanfu, as he approached the counter.

"Well, sir, you've booked two deluxe double rooms, totaling 12,000 yuan. But didn't the young lady traveling with you already pay?"

The saleswoman at the counter seemed a little puzzled when Ling Feng asked this question, so she casually offered an explanation.

"Sorry, it's okay."

Twelve thousand?!

Hearing this number, Ling Feng was slightly startled.

He wondered how many tea eggs he would have to sell to earn back that money. He didn't know whether to say Su Xiaoxiao was too rich or that she simply didn't need the money.

Although Su Xiaoxiao didn't seem to care, Ling Feng still felt a little guilty. The main problem was that this inn was really overpriced; it was practically like a VIP room or presidential suite in a high-end hotel in the city!

Thinking about it, Ling Feng then called Su Xiaoxiao and heard that the two girls still needed to prepare.

So Ling Feng decided to go out and explore by himself. The place was huge, and thankfully he had his phone's GPS, otherwise he might have gotten lost!

On the other side, in an exquisitely decorated and luxurious mansion, two men and a woman were sitting opposite each other under a cool courtyard.

The pavilion is octagonal, and on its round roof is a rusty bronze rooster. Although it is rusty, it still looks majestic and proud, making the pavilion look imposing.

The path leads to the end of the main building's corridor in the bamboo garden, where you can enter the Summit of Mount Ming.

As you descend the boardwalk, you'll find a large waterfall over ten meters high. The water cascading down the waterfall collides with the rocks, splashing up droplets of water that create a refreshing and pleasant sensation.

At this moment, among the three, a handsome young man with unkempt hair and a messy hairstyle was frowning, his face serious, and even a little angry. The young man was none other than Zhao Ping!

Upon arriving at the place, he received special treatment from the young man beside the woman in front of him, which only strengthened his resolve.

But he really didn't dare to lose his temper now, and could only suppress his anger. If he could beat them, he would definitely leave immediately without looking back! He absolutely didn't want to stay for even a second longer!

The people here are disgusting...

That's unreasonable!

"In short, Miss Mo, I don't like you. Even though you're very beautiful, I still have to say, we can't be together! We're both adults—well, no, I'm still a minor—but we should be able to decide our own marriage!"

Zhao Ping became somewhat agitated, slamming his hand on the table and standing up, spilling most of his half-cup of tea. He stared directly at Mo Liyuan and spoke.

However, before Zhao Ping could say anything more, a silver-white folding fan covered with blades was placed against his neck, making him afraid to move!

However, after Zhao Ping recovered his senses, he gave the young man holding the folding fan a look of disdain.

"You're such a scumbag! You couldn't get Su Yun back in the food street, so now you want revenge? Do you think I'll give in to you? Humph, go ahead..."

"Slap!" Before Zhao Ping could utter the last word, Mo Qingyu slapped him on the shoulder with a fan, causing him to fall back down!

Zhao Ping clutched his shoulder with one hand, enduring the intense pain.

With that kind of force, Zhao Ping believed that it wouldn't take more than a few blows for his shoulder bone to be shattered!

Absolutely cruel!

"What exactly do you want?!" Zhao Ping roared.

His phone was stolen and confiscated right at the beginning, so he didn't even have a chance to call the police! Moreover, when he entered, Zhao Ping heard them say that they had people in the police stations outside Chongming City! So calling the police would have been useless!

"Damn! You dare bring this up again? If it weren't for you guys messing things up last time, I would have already been able to date that girl!"

Mo Qingyu lifted her foot and stepped on Zhao Ping's shoulder.

At the same time, he looked disdainful!

"Stop for now, Qingyu. It's normal that Pingjun can't adapt in a short time."

"Alright, since Sister Li Yuan has spoken up, then I guess you'll be lucky!"

It wasn't until Mo Liyuan spoke that Mo Qingyu disdainfully and furrowed her brow, removing her foot and even "kindly" patting the dust off Zhao Ping's clothes.

"My lord, as long as you agree to marry me, I promise to protect you forever," Mo Liyuan said softly, a hint of concern showing on her fair face.

Judging from her appearance, it seems that what she said is indeed true.

That actually looks pretty convincing!

"Sorry, I don't admit it."

However, Zhao Ping merely smiled dismissively upon hearing this.

From the very beginning, even though her subordinates, along with this young man named Mo Qingyu, had been bullying her, Mo Liyuan hadn't uttered a single word, which showed that she didn't actually care at all!

And now he's offering to protect me for life?

Zhao Ping wasn't really stupid; he wasn't so dense as to not see through this. He believed that if Ling Feng were here, he would definitely look at these people as if they were idiots.

Unfortunately, he didn't have Ling Feng's fighting ability. If he had even a fraction of Ling Feng's fighting ability, Zhao Ping believed it would have been enough for him to escape.

Three-Second Burst Stance, the Newton-Defying Wall-Climbing Technique, the Shadow Concealment Step...

Wrong...

This is getting off-topic...

Since the limits of human strength are controlled by the brain, when you think you have exerted all your strength, you have actually not even unleashed 40% of your body's power.

Only when the brain truly senses a life-threatening danger can its full potential be unleashed!

Ling Feng had told him all this before. Because Zhao Ping had been bullied at school, Zhao Ping Ling Feng always had to stand up for him. He was just a weakling!

Only after Ling Feng's painstaking "tutoring" did he gradually become "stronger".

The key to this technique is quite demanding, requiring one to enter a near-death state. One can only imagine how terrifying that experience must be. He didn't know how Ling Feng managed to do it, or how he was able to endure it.

Although it can unleash 100% of the body's power for a short time, it will leave the body exhausted and depleted afterward. Therefore, Zhao Ping does not want to try this kind of short-term burst of power unless absolutely necessary.

The main problem is that he doesn't know how!

Every time Zhao Ping thinks of that slender boy who single-handedly took on dozens of older students on the hill behind the school, he feels his blood boil!

Blood and Qi surged!

Chapter Thirty-Four: The Storyteller~

"That's fine, my husband. There's a banquet tonight, and many young men from various families in Chongming City will be attending. If you still have objections to this marriage, you can seek my father's opinion. If my father refuses you, then you can only be my husband!"

Mo Liyuan sighed, and after speaking, she closed her eyes lightly, seemingly lost in thought. Soon after, she got up to leave, but before leaving, she turned back to look at Zhao Ping one last time.

"My lord, please make yourself at home. You may consider this your own home."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Ping did not answer her question. Instead, he waited until Mo Liyuan left before scoffing, "Ha, consider it your own home? Is there such a thing as a home where even getting in and out is a problem?"

"Boy, if you insist on being so ungrateful, there's nothing I can do. Marrying my sister is an honor for you. In Chongming City, every family, big or small, is vying to propose marriage. Didn't you do any research beforehand?"

Zhao Ping, who had been silent, was suddenly taken aback when he heard what Mo Qingyu said.

"Marry?"
