Chapter 195 Departure - The Savage River
After returning to the Cloud Gang, Leng Yun kept thinking about upgrading, and three days passed in the blink of an eye.
One day, Leng Yun was thinking in his room when someone knocked on the door and came in.
"Boss Leng, how have you been?" the newcomer said with a grin.
Leng Yun looked up and saw that it was Qin Feng.
"Senior Brother Qin Feng, you flatter me. Please have a seat." Leng Yun immediately welcomed Qin Feng in, as he had a very good impression of him.
Qin Feng is usually kind and gentle, but he is extremely strong, ranking 10th on the Inner Court Boxing King list.
When Leng Yun learned of Qin Feng's ranking, he was quite surprised.
"I wonder what brings Senior Brother Qin Feng here?" Leng Yun asked.
Qin Feng nodded: "We've taken on a mission, but we're short-handed, so we're asking if you're interested."
Leng Yun was taken aback. Qin Feng was a top-ranked expert, number 10 on the boxing champion list. Naturally, the mission he took on was of a high level. The fact that they didn't have enough manpower meant that the mission was indeed very difficult.
Qin Feng seemed to see through Leng Yun's thoughts and said with a smile, "This mission is extremely dangerous. Besides me, there are three other people. I wonder if you dare to go?"
Leng Yun thought for a moment and said, "Since Senior Brother Qin Feng has invited me, I naturally cannot refuse."
"Haha, Junior Brother Leng Yun is indeed courageous." Qin Feng laughed. "To tell you the truth, you don't need to worry, because besides me, there are also Tai Chang, ranked 9th on the boxing champion list, Ouyang Xue, ranked 13th, and Li Jun, ranked 18th, who can completely protect your safety."
Leng Yun was slightly surprised by this formidable lineup. He couldn't help but ask, "What are you planning to deal with?"
Qin Feng smiled and said, "A mighty water buffalo has appeared in the Manliu River on the southern border. It is said to be guarding a divine artifact. Our mission is to retrieve the artifact."
"The Vast Sky Water Buffalo?" Leng Yun's heart skipped a beat. "That's a seventh-grade magical beast, isn't it?"
Qin Feng nodded: "What, scared?"
Back then, a fifth-grade magical beast almost killed Leng Yun, let alone a seventh-grade magical beast, which is equivalent to the peak of the human's Voice and Fist Realm. Moreover, a seventh-grade magical beast has already begun to possess human intelligence and can even understand simple human speech.
However, Leng Yun still smiled and said, "Why would I be afraid?"
He was worried about not having enough resources to upgrade, so how could he pass up this opportunity that was offered to him? Although there were dangers involved, Leng Yun was born with a spirit of adventure.
"Okay, then let's meet at the East Square at noon tomorrow," Qin Feng said.
Before Leng Yun could answer, a beautiful figure suddenly appeared at the door.
Murong Qin walked into the house: "I want to go too."
Her tone wasn't one of discussion; it seemed she was simply stating a given fact to Leng Yun and Qin Feng.
Murong Qin walked to Leng Yun's side, sat down expressionlessly, and two dimples appeared faintly on her fair face.
Leng Yun immediately felt a refreshing fragrance waft towards him, and he couldn't help but feel intoxicated.
He didn't speak, but quietly looked at Qin Feng, waiting for his decision.
"Uh—this—" Qin Feng didn't know what to say for a moment, and his face turned a little red.
Murong Qin's bright eyes looked at Qin Feng.
Although his eyes were full of indifference, Qin Feng still felt as if he had been electrocuted.
"Alright, alright, since Junior Sister Murong wants to join in the fun, then we'd be more than happy to oblige." Qin Feng blushed and stammered.
Leng Yun chuckled inwardly; Qin Feng's figure didn't seem so imposing anymore.
"Well then—see you tomorrow." With that, Qin Feng hurriedly left, looking somewhat awkward.
……
The next morning, at the East Square of the inner courtyard of the Fist God Academy.
When Leng Yun and Murong Qin arrived, the others were already waiting.
There were three people standing next to Qin Feng, two men and one woman.
"This must be Junior Sister Murong. She is indeed as beautiful as a fairy." A man in a green robe walked over and said to Murong Qin in a fawning manner, as if he had not seen Leng Yun.
Murong Qin's face remained cold, like a fairy untouched by worldly affairs.
The man in the green robe looked somewhat embarrassed before turning to Leng Yun: "You're Leng Yun? I'm Tai Chang, ranked ninth in the Inner Court."
Tai Chang's tone was somewhat unfriendly, seemingly revealing a hidden hostility, perhaps out of jealousy that Leng Yun had a beautiful woman by her side.
Leng Yun shrugged and didn't say anything.
At this moment, another man walked over: "Junior Brother Leng Yun, hello, I am Li Jun, ranked 18th in the Inner Court. You are ranked higher than me, your senior brother."
Li Jun spoke very politely and was very approachable.
Leng Yun smiled at him: "Senior Brother Li, you flatter me."
As they were talking, the woman walked over. She was Ouyang Xue, who was ranked 13th in the inner courtyard.
Ouyang Xuesheng had a head of silver hair and snow-white skin, even comparable to Murong Qin's fair complexion, resembling a snow fairy, and was extremely beautiful.
Such a woman would normally be the focus of many men, but standing next to Murong Qin, she actually lost out by a few points.
Among beautiful women, there has always been a competitive spirit; this is a law of nature, and even Murong Qin could not avoid it.
As Ouyang Xue approached, Murong Qin unconsciously straightened her posture.
Ouyang Xue's gaze lingered on Murong Qin for a long time before finally shifting to Leng Yun.
"You must be Leng Yun? You're quite famous now." Ouyang Xue spoke with an innate air of arrogance.
"Senior Sister Ouyang, you flatter me. With my limited strength, how could I dare to show off in front of you?" Leng Yun said politely.
"Alright, alright, stop talking. It's getting dark soon, let's get going," Qin Feng said with a smile as he walked over.
Then, everyone followed Qin Feng to the edge of the inner courtyard.
There happened to be a flying beast chariot waiting for them there.
"Let's go, we still have a long way to go," Qin Feng said.
The group boarded the flying beast chariot, and in no time at all, they were already soaring into the sky.
Leng Yun sat on the edge of the carriage, looking down at the increasingly smaller Fist God Valley, and couldn't help but feel a deep sense of emotion. The last time he came here in a flying beast carriage was when he was a freshman in the outer academy.
It all seems like it happened just yesterday. Time flies, and so much has happened in such a short time.
The flying beast chariot soared straight into the sky and headed south.
About an hour later, Leng Yun could vaguely see the towering buildings below; they had arrived at the territory of Yunyang City.
Further south, the air temperature gets warmer and warmer.
Just as everyone was feeling hungry, they finally arrived at their destination. The flying beast carriage landed outside a small town in front of the Manliu River in the southern border region.
To avoid suspicion, they planned to pass through this city to reach the Manliu River.
"Oh dear, I'm starving! Let's go eat! I wonder what Junior Sister Murong likes to eat?" Li Jun asked with great interest.
