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

Ling Feng then told everyone that he had crippled the monk's cultivation. Since everyone in the manor was alright, he would spare his life and send someone to escort him out.

No one objected to Ling Feng's decision, not even the usually decisive Madam Wang.

When Kumārajīva saw that Ling Feng was really willing to let him go, even ants try to survive, let alone him.

After getting up, he quickly bowed to everyone in a Buddhist gesture, apologized, and then left with an old woman arranged by Ling Feng. He was really worried that Ling Feng might change his mind later, so it was better to leave first.

After Kumārajīva left, Ling Feng and his group returned to Mantuo Manor.

As soon as they sat down, Madam Wang asked the question that had been bothering her.

"Feng'er, what is your strength now? Even that powerful monk was no match for you."

“Godmother, I have now reached the Innate Realm, and I can protect you from now on.”

Ling Feng wouldn't hide his strength from them, since they were all his closest relatives in this world.

Upon hearing Ling Feng's strength, the group was so astonished that their mouths almost dropped open. Zhong Ling, aside from being slightly shocked, wasn't particularly surprised, as she already knew Ling Feng was powerful, but she didn't know he had actually reached the Innate Realm.

On the contrary, Madam Wang and her daughter seemed the most surprised, after all, they knew Ling Feng's previous strength better than anyone else.

When Ling Feng left, he had only just reached the second-rate realm. They never expected that he would become a Xiantian expert in just a few months. This made them feel somewhat incredulous.

At first, they all thought that Ling Feng should only have first-rate strength, but they didn't expect him to have jumped to the Innate Realm.

Breaking through two major realms in just a few months is unbelievable to anyone, especially Wang Yuyan, who considers herself to have decent talent and has only barely reached the third-rate realm in the past few months. She never expected Ling Feng to be even more exaggerated.

"Wow, Brother Feng, how did your strength improve so much in such a short time?"

Ling Feng answered their questions, of course concealing the existence of the system.

When Lady Wang heard that he had found the Langhuan Paradise and obtained two peerless martial arts manuals from it, she trembled slightly, for that was the place where she had lived as a child.

But she didn't interrupt Ling Feng's narration. Instead, her thoughts began to drift, and she recalled the past.

……

She also remembered that she had lived in that valley since she was a child, and that her father and mother loved each other very much when she was young.

When she was seven or eight years old, her father found a piece of jade from somewhere and spent several years carving a jade statue in her mother's likeness.

She originally thought that such happy days would continue, but unexpectedly, after the jade statue was carved, her father and mother began to quarrel frequently.

Later, her mother left in a huff. At that time, she had just come of age. When she saw her loving mother leave, she went out to look for her.

Unexpectedly, not long after she left, her father also left. When she returned, the place was already deserted, and her father and mother were never heard from again.

She suddenly found herself all alone and helpless, and continued to stay in Langhuan Paradise for nearly a year, still without any news of her father or mother.

Left with no other choice, she went out to search for him, and unexpectedly, she encountered the lover she both loved and hated during her search.

The two enjoyed a sweet time together, but after she became pregnant, she learned from him that he already had a family and could not give her any official status.

Her parents had spoiled her since she was a child, so how could she endure such grievances? In the end, after confirming that her lover really could not give her any status, she left Dali in anger and came to Song territory.

By sheer chance, she encountered the former owner of Mantuo Manor, who then became her savior.

Because he was alone and destitute at the time, and had nowhere to go in the Song territory, the man took him in.

At that time, she was already more than three months pregnant, and it was obvious that she was pregnant. In addition, the former manor owner's ex-wife had passed away, and in order to protect his reputation, he proposed to marry her.

At the time, I was all alone and helpless, and considering his life-saving grace, although I felt that it was a bit of repaying kindness with enmity, I still agreed to the marriage because of selfishness.

Shortly after their marriage, an abandoned baby was found outside the villa. He and his ex-wife had no children together.

Furthermore, since the child he was carrying was not his, he felt that this baby was a child sent to him by God.

You should know that Mantuo Manor is located on a deserted island. Ordinary people can't even get here, let alone leave a baby outside silently.

Since the child was a gift from heaven, he immediately adopted the baby as his godson.

When the baby was found, he had a jade pendant around his neck with the words "Lingfeng" on it. They believed that heaven had already chosen his name, so they named him "Lingfeng".

Not long after, her own child was born; it was a daughter, whom she named 'Wang Yuyan'.

Although neither of the two children were his biological children, he loved them very much and cherished them as if they were his own.

However, the birth of his daughter caused some trouble.

His sister realized from the time the child was born that the child was not his biological daughter, and she came to make a scene many times because of this.

Knowing he was in the wrong, he didn't make a big deal out of it and tolerated it many times, often comforting himself.

He had been thinking that living like this would be fine, but unexpectedly, he suddenly passed away when his daughter was two years old.

This was a complete shock to him, and his sister even went so far as to say that she was the one who killed him, and she came to confront him repeatedly.

Having just lost her support, she became even more relentless, leading to a huge argument between them. Later, she moved almost all of the Wang family's belongings from the estate.

From then on, the two families never interacted again, and even the younger generations rarely visited each other.

Two years passed, and her two children grew up. She began to miss her lover.

Unable to bear her longing any longer, she sent someone to Dali to inquire about her lover.

Soon after, news came back that her former lover had not only one woman, but also several confidantes, and several of them had given birth to his daughters.

Suddenly, her longing turned into resentment. First, she resented her lover's heartlessness and ingratitude back then, and second, she resented his female confidantes. If it weren't for them, her lover probably wouldn't have been so heartless and ingratitude.

Resentment made her look at her daughter with displeasure, while she was very fond of her adopted son, mainly because he was also very sensible.

She had originally planned to take revenge on her lover by killing all his female confidantes and making him experience the pain of losing his lover.

To this end, he personally returned to the place where he used to live and brought back all the martial arts manuals left by his parents. He then used these manuals to train many martial artists.

Unexpectedly, before he could even begin his revenge, his desire for revenge gradually faded as his two children grew up, and in the end, it all came to nothing.

Who would have thought that today I would learn from my adopted son that he had actually been to the place where I lived with my parents, and even had some strange encounters there. It's just a cruel twist of fate.
