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

When Ling Feng came out, he thought about how Yun Zhonghe had tormented his second senior brother, and wondered if it would leave any shadow in the little beast's heart.

If I can't gain weight because of this, that would be a real sin.

Thinking of all this, Ling Feng felt a little reluctant. As he passed the door, he took out a few taels of silver from his pocket, bent down, and threw it in through the crack in the door.

I considered it a small compensation to them before turning and leaving.

After Ling Feng and Zhong Ling met up, she didn't even glance at the Cloud Crane in Ling Feng's hand before mounting her horse and setting off on her journey.

Ling Feng didn't take it to heart, smiled, and chased after Yun Zhonghe, whose appearance was rather indescribable.

They walked for quite a while before the door of the house was quietly opened a crack.

After confirming that no one was outside, a burly woman opened the door completely.

After coming out, he looked around and saw no one. Then he clutched the silver and ran towards the livestock shed.

When she arrived at the livestock shed, she saw her second brother huddled in a corner, shivering.

Even with her extensive experience, she couldn't help but blush. After all, she had heard the commotion outside clearly from inside the house. She then shook her head and clicked her tongue in amazement.

"These city folks really know how to have fun, they've come up with all sorts of creative ways to do things, but it's a real hardship for my animal."

After her exclamation, her eyes involuntarily turned to the side, where she saw the Bull Demon King, its enormous size partially exposed, pacing restlessly in the livestock shed.

Upon seeing the enormous exposed opening, the woman's eyes widened, and she swallowed hard, her mouth watering. Her feet began to move unnaturally.

Ling Feng was unaware of what happened to that family afterward.

After the two had walked for several miles, Ling Feng called out to Zhong Ling, who was walking forward with her head down.

"Ling'er, wait a moment. I'll throw this lecherous thief into the forest and let him fend for himself here."

"Okay, then I'll wait for you up ahead."

Zhong Ling responded shyly, and continued walking forward for a while before stopping to wait for him.

Ling Feng stared expressionlessly at the lifeless Yun Zhonghe in his hands, crippling his dantian with a single palm strike. He then drew his sword and severed all of Yun Zhonghe's tendons and ligaments before speaking to him in an icy tone:

"Yun Zhonghe, you have committed many evil deeds in the past, yet no one has been able to capture you. Now that you have come to this end, you must know what you are doing. You don't need to complain about fate. If you hadn't provoked me, I wouldn't have bothered you. It's all just bad luck."

"I have already shown mercy by not taking your life. As for whether you can live or die, that depends on your fate."

Ling Feng then released the pressure points on his body. As soon as Ling Feng released the pressure points, Yun Zhonghe, who already understood his own condition, cursed at Ling Feng:

"Boy, you'll suffer a terrible death for treating me like this."

Ling Feng didn't waste any more words with him, casually tossing him into the nearby dense forest before quickly chasing after Zhong Ling ahead.

After catching up with Zhong Ling ahead, Ling Feng lightly touched the ground with his toes, leaped onto the horse's back, hugged Zhong Ling tightly, then shook the reins and continued on his way.

Ling Feng's series of movements were as smooth as flowing water. Zhong Ling did not resist at all, quietly nestled in his arms, and let him carry her forward.

Ling Feng had previously absorbed all of Yun Zhonghe's internal energy, giving him second-rate internal energy, which instantly propelled Ling Feng, who originally had no internal energy, into the ranks of third-rate martial artists.

However, since this internal energy was absorbed, his realm is not yet stable and he needs further tempering and refinement before it can be completely stabilized.

The rest of the journey went exceptionally smoothly, without any further incidents.

Around noon on the second day, they finally arrived at Wanjie Valley.

After Zhong Ling returned to Wan Jie Valley, perhaps because she was already home, she no longer concealed herself and, like a joyful elf, skipped and hopped into the valley.

Seeing this, Ling Feng smiled slightly and followed him inside.

As Ling Feng entered the valley, he saw the stone tablet that read "No Entry for Those Surnamed Duan," and a smile appeared on his face.

In fact, Zhong Wanchou was quite pathetic, completely embodying what it means to be a simp who ends up with nothing.

Zhong Ling walked in noisily, making such a commotion that she must have alerted everyone inside.

As soon as the two stepped into the valley, a beautiful woman rushed out and scolded Zhong Ling with a stern face.

"You brat, you still know how to come back. Do you know how worried I was?"

"Mom, I've missed you so much."

Zhong Ling ignored her stern face, skipped forward and hugged her, and started to act coquettishly.

Ling Feng, who was following behind, saw the beautiful woman and heard Zhong Ling call her "mother," and he knew who she was.

This woman should be Gan Baobao, one of Duan Zhengchun's lovers.

Upon seeing her, Ling Feng couldn't help but admire Duan Zhengchun's discerning eye.

After calming down the mischievous Zhong Ling, Gan Baobao noticed Ling Feng following behind. She turned to Zhong Ling with a scrutinizing look and asked:

"Ling'er, who is this young master?"

Hearing her mother's question, Zhong Ling blushed slightly and began to introduce Ling Feng.

"Mother, this is Ling Feng. I encountered danger on my trip, but luckily Brother Feng saved me. Otherwise, you and Father might never have seen your daughter again."

Then Zhong Ling began to recount her experiences during this period in detail, especially the matter of Ling Feng saving her, speaking with great seriousness.

Ling Feng, who was standing to the side, blushed a little when he heard this, after all, his original intention was not very kind.

Just as Zhong Ling finished speaking solemnly, Gan Baobao was about to come up and greet Ling Feng when a hoarse voice came from behind.

"Ling'er, you're finally back! If you hadn't come back, I was ready to go out and look for you myself!"

Ling Feng looked in the direction of the voice and saw that the person was plain-looking. Judging from his appearance alone, he was definitely not Zhong Ling's biological father. Ling Feng realized that the person must be Zhong Wanchou.

When Zhong Wanchou arrived, he first saw the mother and daughter embracing, and then he saw Ling Feng, who was being blocked by them.

Upon seeing Ling Feng, he suddenly felt a green light appear above his head, and instantly flew into a rage, shouting:

"Boy, who are you? What brings you here? Are you looking for my baby?"

Before Ling Feng could react, the beautiful young woman beside him became anxious. Hearing Zhong Wanchou's nonsense, she immediately shouted in rebuke:

“Zhong Wanchou, stop talking nonsense. This is Ling’er’s savior.”

Zhong Ling, standing nearby, was also anxious upon hearing her father's words, as she truly did not want to leave a bad impression on Ling Feng.

"Father, don't talk nonsense! This is Brother Ling Feng. I was able to return safely this time entirely thanks to Brother Ling's help. Otherwise, I'm afraid I would never have been able to see you again!"

Zhong Wanchou's shocking question left Ling Feng speechless, and he could only stand there watching the family argue.

As long as it doesn't involve Gan Baobao, Zhong Wanchou's intelligence is always on point.

So when he learned that Ling Feng hadn't come to see Gan Baobao and wasn't surnamed Duan, he immediately regained his composure and then casually said to Ling Feng:

"I was very rude just now. Since Young Master Ling is my daughter's savior, I will definitely repay him handsomely."

Ling Feng looked at the person in front of him. Although he was not Zhong Ling's biological father, he treated Zhong Ling very well.

Since her relationship with Zhong Ling was currently ambiguous, and he might even become her father-in-law in the future, she didn't want to argue with him.

"I apologize for my abruptness. If I have caused any disturbance, please forgive me."

"Haha, it's alright. Since you are my daughter's savior, you are always welcome to visit Wanjie Valley in the future."

As expected, as long as Gan Baobao and the surname Duan are not involved, Zhong Wanchou's rationality will not deviate in the slightest.
