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

Since they had chosen to live together, they must have been prepared. At first, they were both a little reserved, but after lying in bed, things naturally progressed.

Both were young, and after their first taste of forbidden fruit, they were addicted to it, and the bed in the room rocked until midnight before stopping.

This was thanks to Zhong Ling being a martial artist, whose body recovered quickly; otherwise, with her naivety, she wouldn't have been able to withstand Ling Feng's onslaught.

Although they had just lost their virginity and their bodies were still a little uncomfortable, the two of them chose to get up and leave early the next morning.

Firstly, Ling Feng was worried about the safety of his family, and secondly, he was ashamed to stay any longer, since they had made quite a commotion last night.

Their journey then became even more interesting, filled with mutual affection, and time passed by unnoticed.

After more than twenty days of traveling at breakneck speed, the two finally arrived in Suzhou.

Returning to Suzhou, Ling Feng was in a very good mood. He had been away for several months, the longest he had ever been away in the previous eighteen years, and he felt like a wanderer returning home.

Ling Feng visited the Mantuo Manor's properties in Suzhou and inquired about the current situation of the Mantuo Manor.

Fortunately, I didn't get any bad news from them. It seems that Kumārajīva hasn't arrived yet, and I'm glad I came back in time.

Ling Feng then took Zhong Ling to the lakeside ferry, retrieved a ferry from Mantuo Manor, and rowed towards Mantuo Manor.

As he drew nearer to his hometown, Ling Feng felt a growing sense of trepidation. Just as he caught a glimpse of the outline of Mantuo Manor, a feeling of fear crept into his heart.

But some things must be faced, and running away is not the solution. Thinking of the girl beside him, Ling Feng gave her some instructions first, otherwise he was afraid that she would get angry later.

"Ling'er, this is my home. I told you before that I was an orphan since I was little and was adopted by my godmother. My godmother's daughter and I are childhood sweethearts. If they say anything unpleasant later, please don't get angry. I will explain it to them properly."

"Okay, don't worry, Brother Feng. I'm mentally prepared. As long as you don't abandon me, I won't be angry."

Ling Feng felt a little guilty because of her understanding nature, but in the end, it was his own philandering that made him feel guilty.

Ling Feng didn't want to make excuses for his womanizing; he just didn't want to let any of the many beautiful women he saw slip by.

After all, in his previous life, he was a loser who couldn't even hold onto a relationship and had no ability to be a scumbag.

Having transmigrated to this place in this life, it's like a poor person suddenly becoming rich, and it's all legal and compliant, so how could Ling Feng possibly let this opportunity pass?

With a thousand thoughts swirling in his mind, Ling Feng reached out and ruffled the hair of the girl beside him, saying with a look of affection:

“My Ling’er is so sensible, how could I possibly abandon you? As long as Ling’er doesn’t leave me on her own initiative, I promise I won’t abandon you.”

Ling Feng's solemn promise instantly brought tears to the girl's eyes, filling her heart with sweetness.

As the ferry approached Mantuo Manor, Ling Feng spotted a graceful figure at the dock—none other than Wang Yuyan.

News of his return had not reached her at all, so the girl had no idea he was back today. The fact that she was at the ferry crossing suggests that she often waits for him to return.

Wang Yuyan clearly saw Ling Feng's ferry as well, and was now happily dancing and jumping around, calling out Ling Feng's name. Ling Feng was also standing on the boat, waving his hand in response.

After the boat docked, before Ling Feng could even disembark, she jumped aboard and grabbed his hand, starting to complain.

"Brother Feng, you're finally back! You have no idea how much I missed you. How could you have been gone for so long?"

Ling Feng wasn't unhappy at all about the girl's complaints; on the contrary, he felt a sweet warmth in his heart, because it showed that someone was thinking of him all the time.

“Yanmei, I miss you all too. This time I traveled to Dali, which is why it took so long to go and come back.”

"Oh, now that you're back, you won't be going out again, right?"

She didn't care too much about where Ling Feng went; in her opinion, as long as Ling Feng came back, that was all that mattered.

Ling Feng figured the system probably wouldn't let him stay here and would likely cause trouble, so he could only say to her:

“After I come back this time, I should be able to stay at home for a while, but I will probably have to go out again. But if I go out this time, I can take you with me. Now I have the ability to protect you.”

When the little girl first heard that Ling Feng was going out again, she immediately became unhappy. However, when she heard Ling Feng say that he could take her with him if he went out again, her expression immediately improved.

At this moment, she also noticed Zhong Ling standing to the side, who was looking at them with her bright, sparkling eyes.

Just now, her whole attention was focused on Ling Feng, automatically filtering out Zhong Ling. Now that she noticed her, she immediately asked Ling Feng:

"Brother Feng, who is this young lady?"

Seeing that she had finally noticed Zhong Ling, Ling Feng then introduced them.

"Yanmei, this is Zhong Ling, a close friend I met during my travels. She has fallen for me, and I brought her back to meet you."

"Ling'er, this is Wang Yuyan. She is the childhood sweetheart I told you about."

Upon seeing the charming and adorable Zhong Ling, Wang Yuyan already had some guesses in her mind. Now that Ling Feng had confirmed it, the little girl's heart sank to the bottom.

Her smiling face immediately turned deathly pale, and her eyes became teary, as if she was about to cry out in grievance.

Seeing her expression, Ling Feng thought to himself, 'This is bad.' He should have settled Zhong Ling in Suzhou City first. Now that he has brought her here, the little girl is having a hard time accepting it.

Her aggrieved expression instantly stirred a feeling of tenderness in Ling Feng's heart. He hadn't expected the girl to react so strongly, so he quickly stepped forward and hugged her tightly.

"Yanmei, what's wrong? Why are you crying?"

Ling Feng's question seemed to have unleashed a torrent of pent-up emotions within her, causing her to burst into tears instantly, her tears falling like beads from a broken string.

Seeing her pitiful appearance, Ling Feng quickly comforted her gently.

"Yanmei, don't cry, Brother Feng is back now."

Ling Feng's words of comfort had no effect; the little girl continued to cry sadly.

After a long while, she nestled in Ling Feng's arms and asked, with a wronged expression:

"Waaah, Brother Feng, are you going to abandon me?"

"How could I possibly not want Yanmei!"

"So you're saying this younger sister is in love with you, and now that you've brought her back, doesn't that mean you're going to marry her?"

"Yes, I will marry her in the future, but you are my childhood sweetheart, and you will be my wife in the future too."

Ling Feng's direct declaration made the girl in his arms realize his feelings, and her grievances instantly disappeared.

Then the little girl in her arms started to blush. She didn't expect Ling Feng to be so direct. He hadn't confessed or made any advances before, but today he just went straight to the point.
