The Heavenly Dragon's Beginning in the Journey Through the Heavens

"Ling Feng, let's break up!"

"You're like a good-for-nothing son of a bitch, you've accomplished nothing. I feel like we're from completely different worlds! You can't give me the life I crave."

……

"toot"

"Hey guys, let's go out for a couple of drinks and celebrate that I'm single again!"

……

"Brother Feng, come on, let's have a drink! We're going to drink until we drop tonight!"

"It's just a breakup, you'll definitely meet someone better in the future! Seriously, we're not trying to be mean, but you should have broken up with that green tea bitch a long time ago!"

……

"Brother Feng, are you sure you're okay on your own? Do you want us to take you home?"

"No need, you guys go ahead, everyone has to work tomorrow!"

……

"drop"

"Brother Feng, be careful!"

"Squeak, squeak, thud"

……

Sitting atop the mountain, Ling Feng spat out the foxtail grass from his mouth, yawned widely, and muttered to himself.

"Huh? What's wrong with me? Lately, all sorts of images keep popping into my head."

Ling Feng's mind has been flashing with various images lately, and these images have become more and more frequent in the past few days, as if he had personally experienced them. But how could he have had these experiences?

Ling Feng gazed leisurely at the distant sunset, its afterglow playfully refracting on the shimmering water, creating a breathtaking scene.

Just as he was engrossed in watching, a clear and melodious girl's voice called out from behind:

"Brother Feng, I knew you'd be here again!"

The girl's silvery shouts pulled Ling Feng out of his daze. He turned around and saw a beautiful girl in a lotus-colored gauze dress running towards him, panting heavily.

This girl is no ordinary person; she is the true young mistress of Mantuo Manor, and she also has a beautiful name: Wang Yuyan.

Although she was incredibly beautiful, Ling Feng, who had grown up with her since childhood, had developed a certain resistance to her beauty; otherwise, he would definitely have looked like a lecherous man.

When Wang Yuyan ran to Ling Feng, she was already panting heavily.

After all, although the hill wasn't very high, it was still quite strenuous for a frail young girl to climb it.

Ling Feng chuckled at the girl's panting appearance, reached out and ruffled her hair, then said:

"Look at you. If you had learned martial arts with me, you wouldn't be like this now, panting after just a few steps."

Wang Yuyan gently pushed away Ling Feng's mischievous hand with her small hand, and gave a coquettish hum:

"Oh dear, you've messed up my hair again."

She tidied her hair, which had been ruffled by Ling Feng, and then said:

"I don't want to learn it! Don't try to fool me. Anyway, with you protecting me, it doesn't matter whether I learn it or not!"

Hearing her bizarre logic, Ling Feng was speechless for a moment. After all, this reason had been used too many times. It was just a pity that she had such amazing martial arts talent.

It's well known that Wang Yuyan's martial arts talent is quite remarkable, but for some reason she's particularly resistant to learning martial arts. Over the years, however, she has memorized almost all the martial arts classics collected by her family, making her a veritable encyclopedia of martial arts.

Unable to understand, Ling Feng stopped dwelling on it, deciding to deal with it later. He looked at the girl before him and asked gently:

"Yanmei, is there something you need? I was just about to go down the mountain to go home!"

When Wang Yuyan heard him say that, she first rolled her eyes, then said angrily:

"If my mother hadn't told me to come out and find you, I wouldn't have been willing! Climbing this mountain is exhausting."

"Oh, what does Godmother want with me?"

Ling Feng was somewhat surprised that his godmother had suddenly contacted him, since she usually wouldn't call him unless it was something important.

"Tomorrow is your coming-of-age ceremony, Feng-ge! My mom probably wants to talk to you about it!"

Wang Yuyan's reminder made Ling Feng realize that tomorrow was his eighteenth birthday! If she hadn't brought it up, Ling Feng would have almost forgotten.

He hadn't forgotten his godmother's promise not long ago that once he came of age, she would let him go out and make his way in the world.

Ling Feng has long yearned for the outside world of martial arts.

In particular, he heard that his nominal cousin had already made a name for himself in the martial arts world and was known as "Qiao Feng in the North and Murong in the South" along with the newly appointed leader of the Beggars' Sect, Qiao Feng.

Ling Feng, also known as Qiao Feng, was often mentioned by the old women who went out to visit him. They said he was the new leader of the Beggars' Sect, a very generous and righteous man who had done many earth-shattering things and was a true hero.

And this Murong is his cousin Murong Fu. To be able to be on par with a great hero like Qiao Feng, his cousin must have quite a reputation.

Whenever he thought of these things, Ling Feng felt his blood boiling. After all, what passionate young man doesn't dream of traveling the world with a sword?

The Mantuo Manor contains many martial arts manuals, and Ling Feng has diligently studied and practiced them over the years, reaching the level of a second-rate martial artist. In his opinion, he should be able to make a name for himself when he ventures out into the martial world.

After all, his cousin had only just entered the first-class realm and had already made such a big name for himself outside, so his second-class realm shouldn't be too bad either.

The thought of soon being able to venture out into the world filled Ling Feng with excitement, as he had been looking forward to this moment for a long time.

"Since it's my godmother who's looking for me, let's not waste any more time here and go back quickly!"

After finishing his words hastily, Ling Feng couldn't wait to run down the mountain.

Wang Yuyan was stunned by Ling Feng's sudden lack of romantic understanding. Her lips pouted slightly, and she muttered softly:

"Hmph, what an idiot." Her eyes revealed a hint of disappointment and dissatisfaction, but also mixed with concern and worry for Ling Feng.

She knew that Ling Feng had always longed to roam the world and pursue his dreams, but deep down she hoped that Ling Feng could spend more time with her.

However, Ling Feng seemed oblivious to her thoughts, focusing only on running forward.

Watching Ling Feng's figure gradually disappear into the distance, Wang Yuyan couldn't help but sigh softly.

She understood that Ling Feng had his own pursuits and ideals, and she couldn't let her own selfish desires hold him back.

Despite feeling somewhat reluctant, Wang Yuyan decided to support Ling Feng's choice.

She believed that one day, Ling Feng would make a name for himself in the martial arts world.

And she will silently protect him and go through thick and thin with him.

Ling Feng ran a short distance down the mountain, then suddenly realized that no one was following him.

He stopped and turned around in confusion, only to see Wang Yuyan still standing quietly in the same spot, her eyes filled with bewilderment and confusion.

"Yanmei!" Ling Feng shouted loudly, his tone revealing a hint of anxiety and concern, "What are you still standing there for? It's getting late, we need to hurry down the mountain and go home! Otherwise, it will be much more difficult to get down the mountain once night falls."

Hearing Ling Feng's shouts, Wang Yuyan snapped out of her daze, but she didn't seem willing to give in so easily.

She pouted, huffed angrily, and then reluctantly started walking slowly down the mountain.

Her puffed-up cheeks resembled a sulking little pufferfish, making her look exceptionally cute.

This slightly coquettish expression added a rare touch of liveliness and playfulness to the girl's already stunning face, making her irresistibly charming.

However, at this moment, no one has the opportunity to appreciate this beauty.

Mantuo Villa is located on an island in the middle of the lake. The island itself is not very large, so it didn't take long for the two of them to arrive at the villa's reception hall.

This place is not only for receiving guests, but also for their daily meals and discussions.

As Ling Feng entered the hall, he saw a beautiful young woman sitting inside.

She sat there alone, with several servants standing beside her with their heads bowed.

The servants seemed somewhat apprehensive, their heads almost bowed to their chests, as if they had done something wrong and were being reprimanded.

Seeing this, Ling Feng quickly quickened his pace and called out to the beautiful young woman:

"Godmother, I heard from Yanmei that you wanted to see me?"

The arrival of Ling Feng and Wang Yuyan broke the tense atmosphere, and the beautiful young woman's scolding voice came to an abrupt end.

When she saw that the person who came was Ling Feng, she did not scold him for interrupting her, but smiled and asked Ling Feng:

"My dear wind, I've been looking everywhere for you but couldn't find you. Where have you been wandering off to this time?"

Her voice was gentle and kind, which made Ling Feng feel very warm.

Just then, Wang Yuyan also entered. Upon seeing the beautiful young woman, she softly called out:

"mother"

"Um"

In response to Wang Yuyan's call, the beautiful young woman simply gave a faint reply, but her beautiful face remained expressionless.

Then, she slowly turned her head, her eyes sharply fixed on the servants standing to the side, and said in a stern voice:

"You may all leave now! Watch your step from now on, or if this happens again, you'll all be used as fertilizer!"

The beautiful young woman's voice was icy cold, sending chills down one's spine.

Upon hearing this, the servants turned pale with fright, and their bodies trembled uncontrollably.

They knew all too well the beautiful young woman's methods, and knew that if she were truly used as fertilizer, the consequences would be unimaginable.

So they all agreed, saying they would remember the lesson and never make the same mistake again.

Then, the servants hurriedly headed towards the door.

As they passed by Ling Feng and Wang Yuyan, they all bowed respectfully to the two of them before hurrying away.

Throughout the entire process, Ling Feng watched quietly without saying a word.

He sighed inwardly, thinking that although this beautiful young woman was stunningly beautiful, her personality was so cold and ruthless that it made her a fearsome sight.

However, from another perspective, perhaps this kind of personality is also a way for her to survive in this world.

After all, in this world full of dangers and challenges, weakness and kindness often only lead to trouble.

Once only three people remained in the room, the beautiful young woman continued speaking to Ling Feng:

"Feng'er, tomorrow is your coming-of-age day! It's a big day! Have you thought about how to celebrate? Should I tell the servants to make some preparations?"

Her tone was full of concern and expectation.

Ling Feng smiled slightly. He knew that his godmother had always loved him very much, but he did not want to be too extravagant.

So he gently shook his head and said:

"Godmother, there's really no need for all that trouble. Tomorrow, our family can just sit together as usual and have a happy meal. That kind of simple and warm atmosphere is exactly what I like best."

Upon hearing Ling Feng's words, a hint of relief flashed in the beautiful young woman's eyes.

She nodded in agreement:

"Well, since you've said so, Feng'er, then I won't prepare anything."

She knew Ling Feng's character well and understood that he valued the true meaning of family affection more than superficial formalities.

After chatting in the lobby for a while, Ling Feng got up and went back to his room first, since there was nothing to do in the evening in this era of limited entertainment.

Even if there were any events, they wouldn't be suitable for Ling Feng at his current age.
