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

As Ling Feng felt the surging power within him, his desire for strength grew even stronger.

In this world where strength reigns supreme and the strong prey on the weak, only those with formidable power can have the confidence to face any challenge or crisis.

In addition, Ling Feng was also filled with longing and curiosity about this unpredictable world of martial arts.

The wonderful and epic tales of the martial arts world he had read in books in his previous life had already stirred his heart and made his blood boil.

Now, he is even more eager to experience this legendary world for himself.

However, the system only allowed two months for the sign-in period, and with time running out, Ling Feng knew he couldn't delay any longer.

Therefore, he made up his mind to embark on the journey as soon as possible.

Moreover, if you can successfully complete the sign-in task, you can also experience the heroic spirit of the martial arts world, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone and achieving the best of both worlds.

However, at this moment, a thorny problem lay before Ling Feng, making him feel very troubled—he was unsure whether his godmother, Madam Wang, would agree to let him go out.

Although Ling Feng had awakened his memories of his past life, the details of this life, spanning eighteen years, were also deeply imprinted in his mind.

Therefore, certain emotional bonds naturally became his concerns and worries, forcing him to think carefully and not act recklessly.

Unable to come up with any solutions for the time being, Ling Feng could only take it one step at a time.

However, his desire to leave this place was becoming increasingly urgent.

"Brother Feng, are you still in your room?"

Just as Ling Feng was lost in thought, Wang Yuyan's clear and melodious voice suddenly came from outside the door.

Upon hearing this, Ling Feng immediately sprang up from the bed, as nimble as a carp.

Thankfully, I was dressed neatly and made my bed when I went to take a shower, otherwise I would have made a fool of myself today.

However, there was still a strange smell in the room, and it wasn't going to dissipate anytime soon.

Ling Feng quickly got up, tidied the bed a bit, then walked to the door and opened it.

When he saw Wang Yuyan standing outside the door, even though they had grown up together, he was momentarily stunned.

After all, Ling Feng has now integrated his memories from his previous life, and in his previous life he was just an ordinary mortal.

Faced with a beauty like Wang Yuyan, who can be described as a top-tier beauty, his resistance was extremely weak.

Fortunately, Ling Feng had already lived with her for eighteen years in this life, and had developed a certain degree of resistance to her heavenly beauty. Therefore, Ling Feng only paused for a moment before coming back to his senses.

"Yanmei, why did you come to see me so early today? Is there something important?"

"Hmph, does that mean I can't come looking for you unless there's something wrong? Didn't the servants in the manor say they saw you in the washroom? When did you get back to your room? Besides, what time is it now, and you still say it's early?"

The girl's coquettishness did not offend Ling Feng; instead, it gave him an indescribable sense of intimacy, which was perhaps a privilege of beautiful women.

However, Ling Feng immediately felt a little embarrassed, since the sun was already high in the sky, which obviously had nothing to do with the word "early".

However, Ling Feng was no ordinary person.

Having memories of two lifetimes, how could he care about such an awkward situation? He immediately changed the subject and asked:

"So, Yan-mei, is it really because you have something important to discuss with me?"

"It's nothing serious. Today is your 18th birthday, Brother Feng, so I came here specifically to have some fun with you!"

That's the good thing about young girls; they don't keep asking questions until they get to the bottom of things.

Reminded by her, Ling Feng realized that he had mentioned yesterday that he was going to have dinner with his family today.

At this moment, the clock hands were gradually pointing to lunchtime, and presumably this little girl had come here to remind him of this matter.

"Yanmei, now that you're here, why don't you come with me to the front hall? I imagine the food should be ready by now."

Ling Feng extended an invitation with a smile.

Wang Yuyan did not object to Ling Feng's suggestion.

After all, this was also the original intention of her trip.

However, whenever she thought about having to eat at the same table with her mother, a sense of fear would involuntarily rise in her heart.

She simply couldn't understand why her mother treated her so harshly.

Looking again at Ling Feng's receding figure, Wang Yuyan couldn't help but feel a surge of resentment.

The reason was simply because his mother treated Ling Feng in a completely different way.

He was not as strict with her as he was with Wang Yuyan; on the contrary, he was full of love and care.

Sometimes, she even wondered to herself who her biological child was.

Actually, Ling Feng was completely baffled by this matter before, but after integrating his memories from his previous life, he was able to guess some of it. It was possible that all of this was caused by guilt.

It all started with Wang Yuyan's background. Back then, Madam Wang married the former manor lord while she was pregnant. This was an unspoken agreement between the couple, and they never had any children together.

Although Madam Wang still harbored feelings for that unfaithful man, the former master of the manor had married her when she was at her lowest point, and the two had developed some affection for each other over time.

Ling Feng was their adopted child after their marriage. Madam Wang probably felt indebted to the former master of the manor, so after his death, she transferred all that guilt to Ling Feng and treated him exceptionally well.

But she was conflicted about her own daughter, Wang Yuyan.

Of course I like them, after all, they're my own flesh and blood.

But whenever she sees her daughter, she inevitably thinks of that heartless man, and her mood becomes terrible. Over time, she becomes very strict with her own daughter, making Wang Yuyan a little afraid of her.

These are all guesses Ling Feng made based on his memories from both lifetimes, and they should be pretty accurate.

The two chatted and laughed all the way to the front hall of the villa, where they saw Madam Wang already there, directing the servants to clean.

Today is Ling Feng's coming-of-age day. Although she didn't prepare anything special, she still planned to clean the entire manor as a kind of celebration. She still favored Ling Feng.

The two stepped forward together to pay their respects to Madam Wang. Today was Ling Feng's coming-of-age day, and Madam Wang was in a great mood. She, who was usually strict with Wang Yuyan, was kind and amiable today.

The three then sat down at the dining table, where the servants had already prepared the food and were just waiting for them.

After the three of them sat down, they didn't stand on ceremony and began to eat heartily without saying a word—a good habit they had cultivated since childhood.

After everyone had almost finished eating, Ling Feng finally spoke:

"Godmother, I'm an adult today, so I want to go out for a walk."

Ling Feng's words startled Madam Wang for a moment; perhaps she hadn't expected time to pass so quickly, but she quickly recovered.

Actually, she wasn't preventing Ling Feng from going out; she was just worried that he might encounter some danger, and she wouldn't be able to face her deceased husband if that happened. That's why she had been keeping Ling Feng from going out.

But now that Ling Feng is an adult, and the fledgling eagle has fully grown up, he must be full of fantasies about the outside world. It's no longer appropriate to force him to stay. Thinking of this, Madam Wang sighed helplessly.

"That's enough. I haven't let you go out all these years because I was worried that you might encounter danger. Now that you're an adult, I won't stop you anymore."

"But once you're out there, you must be careful in everything you do. You must know that the world is dangerous and people's hearts are unpredictable. Never act recklessly and always prioritize your own safety!"

"Yes, Godmother, don't worry, I will be careful."

Ling Feng was not annoyed by her words of advice; on the contrary, he was deeply moved, just like a traveler about to embark on a long journey listening to his parents' earnest teachings before leaving.

Ling Feng quickly agreed, secretly thinking to himself that he now possessed first-rate strength, and as long as he didn't provoke those big shots, he should be safe.

As Ling Feng was envisioning how he would make a name for himself after he left, Wang Yuyan, her voice trembling with tears, said:

"Brother Feng, are you planning to go out alone? Could you take me with you?"

Before Ling Feng could reply, Madam Wang had already begun to scold him.

"Nonsense! What do you think the outside world is? Even with Feng'er's strength, she still has to be careful everywhere she goes. If we add you, a burden who doesn't know any martial arts at all, then wouldn't I have to collect your corpses?"

After being scolded by Madam Wang, Wang Yuyan's eyes turned red and tears streamed down her face. She regretted not learning martial arts back then.

If I knew martial arts, my mother would definitely not stop me from going out with Brother Feng.

Even if Madam Wang agreed, Ling Feng would definitely not take her with him on this trip.

After all, his destination was Dali, and if he brought her along, they would probably have a family reunion on the spot.

Ling Feng would never do something so absurd.

Having made up his mind, Ling Feng immediately prepared to dissuade her from going with him, since there were some things that she should know as late as possible.

“What my godmother says is very true. With my current strength, I still have to be careful when I go out. If I take you with me, I’m afraid I won’t be able to protect you if we encounter any danger.”

At this moment, Wang Yuyan felt helpless, and only then did she realize the importance of martial arts.

If I knew martial arts, my mother and Brother Feng might not have stopped me from traveling with them.

It was at this moment that this girl with exceptional martial arts talent secretly made a resolution in her heart: she must learn martial arts and become extremely skilled so that she could go out with Brother Feng in the future.

Seeing the girl's bewildered and helpless expression, Ling Feng felt a pang of pity, but he knew the stakes involved and had no chance of changing his mind.

After all, if a situation similar to the ancient version of "Where Did Dad Go?" really occurred, he would be helpless.

Then, Ling Feng stopped looking at the girl's helpless expression and changed the subject:

"Godmother, I'm just going on a trip this time. I'll be careful and I should be back soon."

"Yes, the world is a dangerous place, so you have to be careful in everything you do."

"Well, I'll be careful."

After giving her instructions, Madam Wang asked again:

"So when are you going to leave?"

“I have never been out before, and I have only heard them mention it before. I want to find those old ladies who often go out and learn more about the outside world from them in the next two days, so I will set off in three days.”

"Very well then. Where do you intend to go? Do you need me to send someone to protect you?"

Ling Feng's journey to Dali naturally wouldn't allow her to send someone to escort him, otherwise some things would be difficult to explain.

"No need. I will act with caution, and I never cause trouble, so there will be no danger."

"Well, fine. Since you insist on doing so, then so be it. If you encounter any danger outside, be sure to protect yourself."

Afterwards, Madam Wang gave Ling Feng some other instructions on things to pay attention to, and the meal ended hastily.

Next, Ling Feng, accompanied by a little follower, went to find the old women who frequently went out on errands and inquired about the specific situation outside.

In recent years, apart from staying at Mantuo Manor, the farthest place Ling Feng has ever been is Suzhou City, so he doesn't know much about the outside world.

Although I learned some things from books in my previous life, that was only what was said in books, and there are still some differences in reality.

Throughout this time, Wang Yuyan followed behind him, her tense face making her look like a wronged little wife.

It wasn't until evening that Ling Feng learned the general outline from them, especially what rules of the martial arts world he needed to be aware of after going out. This was what Ling Feng mainly wanted to know.

After the nannies left, Ling Feng comforted her for a while and made several unequal agreements, which finally made the little girl, who had been tense all day, smile.

After she left, Ling Feng began packing his luggage.

His earlier statement about leaving in three days was obviously a lie to the young girl; his real plan was to leave before dawn the next morning.

Although leaving this place requires a ferry, it's not a difficult task for Ling Feng, who has lived here since childhood.

After all, he has the nickname "Little White Dragon in the Waves," which is no empty title.
