"Huh?"
Ning Shuangyu had a sudden thought!
She reached into that space and pulled out a Superpower Fruitâ
Only to find it was an Extreme Fruit!
Ning Shuangyu curiously said:
"Another Extreme Fruit, but Iâve already eaten one? Eating more wonât help!"
Lin Lang said:
"You should eat one every so often!"
"Although it canât increase your level, the energy within can aid your cultivation!"
"If someday it works again, just send me a WeChat."
This was mainly to experiment how long the cooldown period of the Extreme Fruit was.
Besides the Extreme Fruit.
Lin Lang also placed some Spirit Battle Pills, Telekinesis Pills, and some emergency medicines in the space.
No matter if Ning Shuangyu wanted to consume them herself.
Or if she wanted to give them to someone else, it was all okay!
...
Ning Shuangyu put the Extreme Fruit back into the little gourd.
Then she stored the little gourd safely.
Afterward, she gave Lin Lang a hug and whispered in his ear:
"Lin Lang, thank you for everything youâve done for me."
But Lin Langâs hand slyly moved to her backside.
In a low voice, he said:
"Is there still time?"
Feeling something was off!
Ning Shuangyu blushed and said:
"Thereâs no time! Letâs leave it for now!"
"Wait for me to come back."
"I surely wonât let you off easily then!"
Lin Lang gently hummed and added:
"Take care of yourself."
"Mm!"
Even though there wasnât time for big things.
Ning Shuangyu still pressed her lips against Lin Langâs, unwilling to part for a long time!
...
"Chirp!"
At this moment!
A call from Xiaohu came from the rooftop!
It must have grown impatient from waiting!
Only then did the two reluctantly, with lingering attachment, leave the bedroom.
...
The women also came out to see Ning Shuangyu offâ
Gu Fei, LĂŒ Su Ran, Tang Lingyu, Leng Wei, Yu Anni were all there!
Lu Xiaoxing was there too.
But Ding Xinrou didnât show upâ
She seemed unwilling to interact with the women on her own.
Regarding this!
Lin Lang wasnât bothered.
Everyone walked to the rooftop together.
...
"Sisters, take care of Lin Lang."
"Also take care of yourselves."
Ning Shuangyu hugged each of them, softly expressing her farewell emotions, her eyes shining with reluctance and determination.
"I will be back."
"Mm! You must come back soon!"
The women all showed signs of reluctance as well.
In the apocalypse!
They came together because of Lin Lang.
Now theyâve formed a deep sisterhood!
...
"Chirp!"
And Xiaohu watched from the side, seemingly sensing the farewell atmosphere too.
It gently rubbed against Lin Langâs leg, as if acting spoiled, or seeking comfort.
Lin Lang gently patted Xiaohuâs head and said with a smile:
"Take care of her."
"Chirp!"
Xiaohu seemed to understand.
"Iâm leaving."
"Goodbye."
Finally!
Ning Shuangyu climbed onto Xiaohuâs back, and with a spread of its wings, Xiaohu soared into the sky.
One person and one bird.
Gradually disappearing into the distant horizon!
...
Gu Fei watched Ning Shuangyuâs departing figure and said with emotion:
"Sister Shuangyu is truly amazing! Sheâs our pride!"
LĂŒ Su Ran nodded in agreement:
"Yeah! Sister Shuangyu is really brave. Going on an adventure alone in such a distant place!"
In LĂŒ Su Ranâs gaze.
There seemed to be some longing.
Lin Lang suddenly remembered he once promised her to show her the world.
...
Yu Anni naturally looped her arm around Lin Langâs, softly saying:
"Lin Lang, I donât want to go anywhere, I just want to be with you."
"Got it."
Lin Lang rubbed her little head.
Then turned and went down the rooftop.
...
After having breakfast with the women.
Lin Lang went downstairs again.
He found He Gong, who was busy, and said to him:
"The things you crafted were really nice!"
"Please make a few more, like those small items from yesterday!"
"This time, thereâs ample time, so the materials and craftsmanship should be more refined!"
Hearing this, He Gong was quite flustered and said:
"As long as itâs of use to you, sir! I will definitely complete it according to your requests!"
"Hmm!"
Lin Lang said goodbye to He Gong.
On the other side.
Luo Hongâan and Zhang Dabin were still busy with alchemy.
They were working hard indeed.
...
"Letâs head to Xu Xingyao again! Just perfect, that little thing can be put to use!"
With that thought, Lin Lang headed towards the district gate!
However!
At that moment!
The group from the Low-Cost Housing District had come to Xingfu District again.
Blocking the entrance!
After a few days of absence!
Their clothes were tattered, faces sallow, with anger flashing in their eyes.
A man leading the group pointed at Lin Lang and shouted loudly:
"Lin Lang, you finally show up!"
"When exactly are you going to deliver the supplies you promised last time!"
"You saved us before, so you have to continue helping us this time!"
"This is your responsibility to us!"
...
His tone was filled with threat and malice!
And the group behind him joined in the clamor!
"Hiss!"
"This group is getting more and more arrogant!"
The people of Xingfu District were startled at the scene!
"They actually dare to speak to Lord Bulang like that?!"
"Arenât they afraid Lord Bulang will kill them?"
...
But Lin Lang remained calm and rational.
He looked at these people calmly and said:
"Even the people of Xingfu District exchange labor for supplies."
"What makes you think you can get something for nothing?"
Upon hearing this, those people shouted angrily:
"Oh! Are you trying to renege on your promise!"
"You owe us this!"
Lin Lang sighed, feeling these people were beyond help!
Although they indeed seemed pitiful!
However!
Itâs better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish!
Lin Lang still said:
"Iâll give you one more chance!"
"You can gather information about frogs. Or, you can use Superpower Fruits to exchange for supplies at Xingfu District. Iâll have Zhang Dabin take care of you."
"But if you dare to cause trouble here again, donât blame me for being rude!"
His tone was not pleasant!
These people finally remembered that Lin Lang was a strong figure!
Hence!
The words of Lin Lang scared those people, their faces turned pale.
They exchanged glances and then slunk away defeated.
Lin Lang watched their retreating figures, shaking his head helplessly.
...
After dealing with the troublemakers from the Low-Cost Housing District!
Lin Lang suddenly soared into the sky, disappearing from everyoneâs sight.
...
Back at the Low-Cost Housing District, the people, who returned embarrassed, were furious about todayâs events.
Adding fuel to the fire, they recounted the entire event to the people in the district!
They gathered around, discussing Lin Lang:
"This Lin Lang is too much! How dare he speak to us like that!"
A middle-aged woman shouted angrily.
"Exactly! Who does he think he is? He even wants to force us to work!"
Another young man complained indignantly.
"Hmph! Heâs totally irresponsible! Only caring for his own district and ignoring our survival!"
An elderly man shook his head and sighed.
Everyone echoed these sentiments, spreading more and more negative talk about Lin Lang, getting increasingly agitated.
Just then!
A young man in the crowd tentatively said:
"Actually... I think Lin Lang has a point. We do need to work to receive supplies."
As soon as he spoke, he was immediately met with rebuttals and abuse from the crowd.
"What are you talking about? Have you been brainwashed by Lin Lang?"
One young man yelled, pointing at the young manâs nose.
"Exactly! How can you speak for that guy? Are you trying to betray our district?"
Another woman shouted loudly.
The young man, drenched in criticism, shook his head slightly, not saying another word.
He was filled with disappointment!
He realized that continuing to argue with these people was futile; they were deeply bound by prejudice and laziness.
If he stayed here!
He feared he would become just like them!
Therefore!
He decided to embark on a journey alone, to accomplish the task Lin Lang had set!
To earn supplies through his actions, proving Lin Langâs words to be true.
