Immortal God of War
"Brother Wolf, why didn’t you come earlier? I almost got killed by these beasts."
Fatty immediately rushed up to White-Eyed Wolf, looking like a wronged little wife, his face full of grievance.
"Scram!"
"Such a tiny thing, and you’re this upset?"
White-Eyed Wolf shoved Fatty away outright, eyes full of contempt.
Fatty stared blankly at White-Eyed Wolf.
"What are you staring at me for?"
White-Eyed Wolf raised a brow.
Fatty let out a deep sigh and said mournfully, "You’ve changed. Looks like you’ve already found a new love and forgotten about me, your old flame."
"You bastard, are you disgusting me on purpose?"
White-Eyed Wolf’s temper instantly exploded.
"Hahaha..."
Ling Yunfei laughed loudly. "You damn fatty, after all these years you’re still this funny."
Lo Qingzhu also couldn’t help covering her mouth and laughing.
"Who are you?"
"Dare call me ’damn fatty’, you got a death wish or what?"
Fatty’s brows shot up, eyes bulged as he turned to look at Ling Yunfei.
"Huh?"
Right then.
His eyes widened and he shouted, "How is that possible?"
"What’s going on?"
Lu Hong, Luk Zheng, and the Ghost Snake Emperor saw this and also turned to look at Ling Yunfei.
"This..."
Lu Hong was stunned on the spot too.
As for Luk Zheng and the Ghost Snake Emperor, they’d never seen Ling Yunfei before, so of course they had no idea what was happening.
"I’m actually seeing things?"
"Looks like this time Master Fatty really took a bad hit."
Fatty came back to his senses, shook his head, and looked at Ling Yunfei again.
"Eh!"
"Why hasn’t it changed?"
His expression froze again. Not an illusion?
Then is this a ghost?
He shuddered, ducked behind Qin Feiyang, stared at Ling Yunfei and shouted, "Are you human or ghost? When you were alive, Master Fatty never did anything to wrong you, so don’t come haunting me."
Ling Yunfei’s face went pitch-black.
Lo Qingzhu pursed her lips, smiling as she said, "Fatty, take a good look again."
Fatty looked over at Lo Qingzhu again, his eyes nearly popping out.
"You gotta be kidding me!"
"And you even come as a pair to find us?"
"Bro, sis, you guys better leave. My guts are small, I can’t handle this kind of tossing around."
"At worst, every New Year and festival I’ll burn more paper money and gold ingots for you, show you some filial piety."
Fatty looked at the two of them, face screwed up like he was in mourning, pleading over and over.
Black lines crawled across Lo Qingzhu’s forehead.
This damned fatty, why can’t he say one normal sentence—cursing us, is he?
Whoosh!
Lo Qingzhu stepped forward, grabbed Fatty by the ear, and shouted, "Look properly. Are we human or ghost?"
"Ow ow ow!"
Fatty wailed.
Wait!
It hurts?
There’s warmth in her hand?
And fragrance on her body.
So that means... they’re not ghosts?
"You two..."
He looked up, sweeping his gaze over them, eyes full of disbelief.
"We didn’t die."
Ling Yunfei said with a smile.
"Didn’t die."
Fatty froze, then leaned in close and carefully scrutinized Lo Qingzhu again. Suddenly he spread his arms and pulled Lo Qingzhu into a hug.
"Didn’t die."
"You really didn’t die."
"What have you been doing all these years?"
"Since you’re still alive, why didn’t you come back earlier?"
"Do you have any idea how many tears I’ve shed for you over these years?"
"How many times I got all sentimental because of you..."
Fatty was so worked up he was almost incoherent.
"Let go, let go, your snot’s all over me."
Lo Qingzhu kept pushing Fatty away, face full of disgust.
"Nope."
"Compared to how much I’ve missed you, what’s a bit of snot? Just bear with it."
Fatty snorted.
Lo Qingzhu gave a helpless smile.
Ling Yunfei was speechless to the extreme as well.
But.
Both of them felt very warm inside.
No matter how unreliable Fatty was, they knew these words were straight from his heart.
His concern for them, his feelings for them, couldn’t be erased.
Ling Yunfei walked up to Lu Hong, spread his arms, and said with a smile, "Long time no see."
"Long time no see."
Lu Hong smiled and nodded, stepping forward to give Ling Yunfei a hug.
"Hold up!"
Luk Zheng saw this and immediately pulled the two apart, glaring at Ling Yunfei as he said, "Who the hell are you? You dare take advantage of Hong’er right in front of me?"
"Uh!"
Ling Yunfei was stunned. He sized up Luk Zheng and said, "I know who you are—Luk Family’s genius, Elder Qin’s cousin, Luk Zheng. But what’s it got to do with you if I hug Lu Hong?"
"Of course it’s got to do with me."
"Hong’er is my fiancée."
Luk Zheng said righteously.
"Fiancée?"
Ling Yunfei was dumbfounded.
Lo Qingzhu was dumbfounded.
Everyone present stared at Luk Zheng in shock.
Lu Hong was also dumbstruck.
She never would’ve thought such a sentence would actually pop out of Luk Zheng’s mouth.
Luk Zheng said proudly, "You hug my fiancée right in front of me and still dare say it’s none of my business?"
"Who’s your fiancée?"
"Got a fever in that brain of yours?"
Lu Hong came back to her senses and immediately glared furiously at Luk Zheng.
Luk Zheng grabbed Lu Hong’s hand, saying aggrievedly, "Hong’er, so many people are watching. Can’t you at least save me a little face?"
"Let go."
Lu Hong was furious and mortified.
"No."
"If I let go and you run off, what am I supposed to do?"
Luk Zheng shook his head.
"So that’s how it is..."
Ling Yunfei sized the two of them up, finally seeing through it. He reached out and patted Luk Zheng’s shoulder, grinning roguishly. "Cousin, my bad, I was in the wrong just now."
"Kid, you’re pretty smart. I like that."
Luk Zheng also started grinning like a rogue.
"As long as Cousin doesn’t hold it against your little brother."
"And one more thing: you’ve got good taste."
Ling Yunfei chuckled low.
"But of course."
Luk Zheng lifted his chin and puffed out his chest, smug as could be.
"What are you two whispering about over there?"
Lu Hong frowned at them.
"Nothing, nothing at all."
The two of them waved their hands.
"Like hell I believe that."
Lu Hong snorted coldly, glanced at Luk Zheng, and said, "Telling you to let go, didn’t you hear me?"
"No."
"Not unless you promise me you’ll never leave me for the rest of your life."
Luk Zheng said, face full of stubbornness.
Lu Hong looked up at the sky, speechless, and cast a pleading look at Qin Feiyang and the others.
Everyone pretended they didn’t see a thing.
Qin Feiyang dry-coughed, glanced at Lu Hong, then sent a voice transmission to Luk Zheng: "You can’t eat hot tofu in a hurry. The fact she’s not forcibly pushing you away means that, deep down, she’s already starting to accept you. Take it slow."
"Makes sense."
Luk Zheng thought about it, chuckled to himself, then released Lu Hong. After that he gave her a suggestive smile, walked over to Qin Feiyang’s side, looked at Ling Yunfei and Lo Qingzhu, and said with a grin, "Little Cousin, aren’t you going to introduce us?"
Qin Feiyang said, "He’s Ling Yunfei, she’s Lo Qingzhu, friends I met in Yan Province."
"So it’s you two."
"I’ve heard your names before, but never seen you in person. Today I finally have the honor."
"A pleasure to meet you both."
Luk Zheng cupped his hands with a smile.
Lo Qingzhu said with a soft smile, "Young Master Luk, you’re too polite. It’s your name that truly rings like thunder in one’s ears, especially that of your elder brother, Luk Jiajin."
"Oh!"
"You even know my big brother?"
"Looks like there’s a hidden expert behind the two of you!"
Luk Zheng gave the two of them a meaningful look.
Lo Qingzhu said, "Young Master Luk, you’re overthinking it. We only heard of him by chance."
"Hahaha..."
Luk Zheng burst out laughing, didn’t press the issue, and ran over to Lu Hong’s side to fawn over her.
Ling Yunfei glanced at Luk Zheng and sent a voice transmission: "Boss, this cousin of yours—he might act like a careless playboy, but he’s actually a sharp one."
Qin Feiyang smiled faintly. "If he didn’t have a bit of brains, Second Granduncle wouldn’t have let him follow me."
"Then what’s Second Granduncle’s purpose in having him tag along?"
Ling Yunfei asked secretly.
Qin Feiyang said, "Probably to keep me safe."
"So the Luk Family isn’t treating you that badly after all."
Ling Yunfei remarked inwardly.
Qin Feiyang nodded and asked, "How much royal jelly did you harvest?"
"A lot."
"Enough for us to squander for several years at least."
"And there’s still plenty we didn’t have time to collect."
Ling Yunfei said with a smile.
"Royal jelly?"
The group of Divine Envoys looked at each other, their eyes full of astonishment.
Gongsun Bei looked at Qin Feiyang and asked curiously, "The royal jelly you’re talking about, is it from the Bloodsucking Bees?"
Qin Feiyang nodded.
Gongsun Bei said, "I’ve heard the royal jelly of Bloodsucking Bees is an incredible treasure!"
"I’ve tasted it."
"The rumors are true. A single drop of royal jelly is on par with a thousand Battle Intent Pills and healing pills."
Qin Feiyang smiled slightly, looked at Ling Yunfei, and said, "Take out fifteen drops of royal jelly, let them have a taste, and help them recover from their injuries while we’re at it."
"Alright."
Ling Yunfei nodded, and a flash of light in front of him revealed fifteen drops of royal jelly.
"Thank you."
Gongsun Bei cupped his hands in thanks, then waved his hand. The fifteen drops of royal jelly flew to hover before him. He looked at the group of Divine Envoys and said with a smile, "Come, one drop each."
The Divine Envoys glanced at Qin Feiyang, then immediately stepped forward, each taking one drop.
Instantly.
A vast, overwhelming power spread through their bodies.
The fatigue from before vanished in a flash; their spirits were vigorous.
Bleeding wounds and severed limbs began to mend at a speed visible to the naked eye.
But the most obvious change was in their Battle Intent.
In less than ten breaths, their depleted Battle Intent was replenished.
"This really is a divine elixir!"
The group of Divine Envoys marveled endlessly.
Qin Feiyang gave a faint smile, lifted his head and looked off in several other directions. The swarm had already fled far away, but he could still vaguely make out traces of Bloodsucking Bees.
Li Jian asked, "Young Master, aren’t we going to go after them and kill them?"
"Anyway, the slightly stronger Bloodsucking Bees have already been killed. There’s no need to wipe them out."
"Besides, if we slaughter them all, won’t we lose any chance of getting this priceless royal jelly in the future?"
Qin Feiyang said with a smile.
"Makes sense."
Li Jian nodded.
"But..."
Qin Feiyang added, his eyes flickering unpredictably.
"But what?"
Everyone looked at him in puzzlement.
Qin Feiyang turned to Ling Yunfei with a smile. "Subdue them and put them into your spatial divine artifact. That way, it’s like we’ve got an endless supply of Battle Intent Pills."
"Good idea."
Ling Yunfei nodded.
Fatty and the others also voiced their agreement one after another.
"Endless Battle Intent Pills..."
The group of Divine Envoys standing behind Gongsun Bei heard this and a glint flashed deep in their eyes.
The very next moment!
The two elders at the Nine-Star War Emperor peak traded a glance, then suddenly lunged forward, landing behind Lu Hong.
One of the elders immediately slapped a palm onto Luk Zheng’s back.
Poof!
Luk Zheng spat out a mouthful of blood on the spot and shot off like a meteorite.
The other elder snatched out a hand like lightning, his palm like an eagle’s claw as he seized Lu Hong’s arm. His other arm rose up along with the motion, locking firmly around Lu Hong’s neck.
