Chapter 1026 Returning to the Country

Chapter 1026: Chapter 1026 Returning to the Country

"Moreover, believe it or not, since I could make the Ethereal Stone disappear, I can also summon it back?" Ling Feng smiled mischievously at Yamato Haruko, "I think by then, it would be the entire Tokyo that disappears!"

Yamato Haruko’s face changed unpredictably. She wanted to prevent Ling Feng from burning down the Yasukuni Shrine, but she knew deep down that she had no way to stop him. Furthermore, Ling Feng’s threat made her shudder with fear.

"Miss Yamato Haruko, why such an expression?" Ling Feng chuckled, "This was always an agreement between me and the Emperor. There’s nothing wrong with me fulfilling the agreement on his behalf, right? You don’t need to thank me on behalf of the Emperor. I’m always keen to help others. If there’s nothing else, I’ll take my leave."

Before leaving, Ling Feng took a deep look at Yamato Haruko: "The Yasaka Magatama is Fusang’s last Divine Artifact, right? I hope Miss Yamato Haruko will take good care of it and ensure nothing goes wrong!"

Terror flickered in Yamato Haruko’s eyes; she hadn’t expected Ling Feng to know that the Yasaka Magatama was within her! What did his words mean then, a threat?

Looking at the fire engulfing the Yasukuni Shrine below, Yamato Haruko gritted her teeth, then turned away and vanished.

The fire at the Yasukuni Shrine burned for two whole days. No matter how many firefighters Fusang dispatched, no matter how many fire trucks were deployed, the blaze could not be extinguished. Finally, only when the Yasukuni Shrine had completely turned to ruins did the fire strangely dissipate.

For a time, there was nationwide outrage in Fusang. Countless citizens and experts expressed strong criticism and dissatisfaction with the Fusang Government. Coupled with the lingering effects of the Divine Realm Sect incident, many Fusang citizens developed a negative and pessimistic attitude toward the Fusang Government. Even on the streets of Tokyo, marching citizens could be seen everywhere.

"What a spectacle!" Ling Feng stood on the loft of the Inoue Family, watching the surging crowd in the distance, unable to help but exclaim, "Prime Minister Da Ye must be having a tough time again!"

Inoue Sakura stood behind Ling Feng, speaking softly, "Brother Ling Feng, you... you are leaving this afternoon, right?"

The Dragon Group members returned from Hokkaido Island to the Inoue Family a day later and were now packing up to return to Huaxia in the afternoon.

Ling Feng nodded: "Yes, the matter has been resolved, and there’s no need for me to stay. Your Inoue Family should also prepare some competent personnel to get ready for entering the Cabinet. If there are any problems in Fusang that can’t be resolved, you can always notify me, I..."

Before he finished speaking, Inoue Sakura lunged forward and hugged Ling Feng tightly from behind.

Ling Feng’s body stiffened as Inoue Sakura sobbed, "Brother Ling Feng, I don’t want to leave you. I... Can I go back to Huaxia with you?"

A trace of sigh flickered on Ling Feng’s face. He turned around, looking at Inoue Sakura’s reluctant eyes, and said, "Silly girl, now you’re the Clan Leader of the Inoue Family. How can you say such childish things?"

Inoue Sakura wiped her tears: "But I really don’t want to leave you, Brother Ling Feng. I like you, I really like you! I can give up being the Clan Leader of the Inoue Family, and besides, even if someone else becomes the Clan Leader, they will surely heed Brother Ling Feng’s every word, I..."

Ling Feng sighed lightly, gently stroking Inoue Sakura’s head as he said, "Little Sakura, the situation in Fusang is still unstable, and in the Inoue Family, you’re the only one I trust. If you return to Huaxia, wouldn’t all my efforts in Fusang go to waste?"

"You’re such a lovely girl. I actually like you too!" Ling Feng said gently.

Inoue Sakura’s face beamed with joy, accompanied by a hint of shyness.

"I’ve always thought, how wonderful it would be to have such a cute little sister!" Ling Feng said with a smile, "Little Sakura, are you willing to recognize me as your brother?"

Inoue Sakura’s smile froze. She hadn’t expected Ling Feng to say such a thing. But looking at Ling Feng’s resolute gaze, a hint of pain rose in Inoue Sakura’s heart. Does Brother Ling Feng really not like me? Is he really choosing such a way to reject me?

But if I disagreed, would Brother Ling Feng hate me? Inoue Sakura couldn’t help worrying about this in her heart.

Looking at Ling Feng’s gentle expression, Inoue Sakura bit her lip: "Brother Ling Feng, as long as you’re willing, I’ll always be your little Sakura sister!"

𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

Inoue Sakura didn’t refuse, nor did she explicitly agree, leaving the choice to Ling Feng! If Ling Feng didn’t accept her, she was willing to always be his little sister, but if he liked and embraced her, she would always wait for him.

Ling Feng naturally understood Inoue Sakura’s intention, so he sighed: "Silly girl!"

His tone carried a hint of melancholy and helplessness, as well as a trace of tenderness.

"This time, returning to Huaxia, I might not be able to come back to Fusang for a while!" Ling Feng said lightly, "If... if everything is fine here, you can visit Huaxia, after all, Huaxia is your birthplace!"

Inoue Sakura’s eyes brightened, then she nodded emphatically: "Yes, I understand, Brother Ling Feng!"

The Dragon Group team returned home, and naturally, the first thing Ling Feng did was report the mission details to Long Guangyi.

"Tsk tsk, not bad, didn’t expect you to actually burn down the Yasukuni Shrine on this visit to Fusang. Is there anything you can’t do?" Long Guangyi jested as soon as Ling Feng entered the room.

Ling Feng shrugged and said, "I just did something everyone enjoys seeing."

Long Guangyi shook his head: "Alright, tell me about the mission process this time!"

After Ling Feng detailed the mission process, Long Guangyi furrowed his brows and said, "According to your account, the Divine Envoy behind the Divine Realm Sect did not die? Only his avatar did? If that’s the case, doesn’t the Divine Realm Sect have a chance to make a comeback?"

Ling Feng nodded: "That’s accurate. Furthermore, I’ve also confirmed that the Divine Realm Sect is indeed from another plane. Their reason for creating chaos is to disrupt human order and weaken the Heavenly Dao Seal!"

Long Guangyi angrily slapped the table: "Preposterous! Now that the seal is weakening, the enemy from the other planes has already reached out, it’s really..."

The words trailed off, but there was a hint of worry in Long Guangyi’s brows.

If the Heavenly Dao Seal disappears, enemies from other planes will swarm in, plunging Earth into a tremendous crisis. What’s more worrying is that even within the Underworld, turbulence is beginning to brew, and those plane enemies, although unable to enter Earth, have already supported many proxy forces here!
