Chapter 1148: Chapter 1147: A False Alarm
Catherine was proud. Although she was infatuated with Ling Feng, she had also tacitly accepted the women around him. However, in her heart, she never truly embraced them! So, when Ling Feng turned into who he was now, even though she knew Ling Feng did not want to tell his women, Catherine still decided to tell them.
Catherineās thought process was simple. If Ling Fengās women could accept the current Ling Feng, then Catherine would recognize their feelings for him. But if they had any disdain for the current Ling Feng... Catherine would never allow such women to stay by Ling Fengās side.
What surprised and comforted Catherine was that when she told the girls from Huaxia about Ling Fengās situation, they didnāt show any sign of disgust. Instead, they looked worried.
Although Ling Feng didnāt explain to Catherine why he turned out this way, Catherine, having previously been the assistant of the Mad Doctor, had her own suspicions. Ling Fengās transformation was likely related to the previous gene experiment!
So, Catherine shared her theory with the women. Feeling sorry for Ling Feng, they decided that although Ling Fengās appearance had changed, they would treat him the same as before.
They wanted to use their actions to show Ling Feng that as long as his heart remained unchanged, they would always stand by him.
"Ling Feng, donāt blame sister Catherine!" At this moment, Liu Tingyu stood up and said, "We sisters are actually grateful to sister Catherine. If she hadnāt told us, how long did you plan to keep it from us?"
Ling Feng looked somewhat embarrassed.
"Were you planning to avoid seeing us until you returned to your original appearance?" Liu Tingyu pressed on, "If it takes a year, were you planning on not seeing us for a year?"
Ling Feng replied quickly, "Of course not!"
"Then what? Are we the type who can only enjoy wealth but cannot share hardships?" Liu Tingyu said seriously.
Ling Feng looked at the five women united in their cause, couldnāt help but chuckle bitterly, and said, "Alright, alright, I was wrong, okay? Can you stop criticizing me now?"
"Thatās more like it!" Liu Tingyu said with satisfaction, "Now go apologize to sister Catherine. Your attitude just now was quite terrible!"
Ling Feng looked at Catherine. Catherine snorted coldly, her pretty face covered with frost, indicating she was quite unhappy.
"Catherine, um... Iām sorry!" Ling Feng chuckled bitterly, "I was in a bit of a rush just now, please donāt be mad!"
Looking at Ling Fengās sincere appearance, Catherine said crossly, "Forget it, whatās there to be mad about with you! I already knew you had this temper! Just donāt blame me for being nosy!"
Ling Feng chuckled, "Arenāt my matters your matters? Itās your job to manage my affairs!"
"Now you know how to say nice things!" Catherine said seriously, "Donāt grin, while weāre all here, letās discuss the serious issues first. What exactly is your situation now?"
Ling Feng thought for a moment and said, "I fought with a group of mysterious people during the day. During this time, I absorbed some strange energy. Because of that strange energy, I ended up looking like this!"
Except for Catherine, all the women were a bit confused.
"Just tell us when you will be able to return to normal!" Yun Hanrui asked.
Ling Feng touched his nose, "Iām not really sure myself. I think Iāll need to wait until I completely master this power! To be honest, Iām still exploring this power. Itās hard to say how much time it will require, but... I guess it will take at least ten days to half a month!"
After Ling Fengās explanation, once he assured them that this power wouldnāt harm him, the women relaxed.
"Itās really amazing, Ling Feng, can I play with the horn on your head?" Yun Hanrui looked at the horn on Ling Fengās head, eager to try.
"I rather admire Ling Fengās muscles now!" Bai Feifeiās eyes sparkled, "I always thought Ling Feng was slim in clothes and muscular without. Now I realize, his well-built muscles are even more attractive!"
"Where is your focus, donāt you think Ling Feng looks more manly now? If his body got bigger, would that part also get bigger?" Wei Meizi licked her lips, her eyes scanning Ling Fengās triangle area.
Ling Feng couldnāt help but shiver. Although these women didnāt seem very surprised, what was with this intense curiosity? Could it be that young women today have such high endurance levels?
Under the teasing of this group of female hooligans, Ling Feng had no choice but to make a hasty retreat. As Ling Feng fled, he could still hear the girlsā giggling.
"Itās really frightening!" Ling Feng wiped the sweat off his forehead. He thought, somewhat sadly, that although his physique was more robust now, he had never reversed his fate of being bullied by girls. This life...
After a good nap, Ling Feng felt quite refreshed. He decided to deal with the prisoners from the Divine Realm and Angel World first.
He found the interrogation room Catherine had prepared for him, where everything was ready. Ling Feng nodded in satisfaction.
Then, with a wave of his hand, he released Bass first.
With a thud, Bass once again had a close encounter with the ground. A bit dazed, he lifted his head, "What is this... you devil!"
Seeing Ling Fengās annoying face, Bass instantly sobered up.
"Have you considered what I said to you before?" Ling Feng asked with a smile, "You can see the things here, theyāre all prepared for you. If you cooperate well, you might avoid physical pain!"
Bass let out a cold snort, "Bring on whatever tricks you have!"
Ling Feng raised an eyebrow, "Good, I admire your courage. Then Iāll experiment on you from simple to complex!"
With that, Ling Feng picked up a syringe labeled Pain Enhancing Potion from a nearby rack.
"This is a Pain Enhancing Potion, and it can enhance your touch by at least ten times!" Ling Feng said while reading the description, "Iām not exactly sure of its precise effects, so..."
Before finishing his words, Ling Feng injected the potion into Bassās body.
Bass felt a cool liquid entering his body, immediately followed by a thumping heartbeat. From his blood vessels to nerves, waves of tingling sensations came.
"Is this your Pain Enhancing Potion? It seems itās not that impressive!" Bass said defiantly.
"Really?" Ling Feng toyed with the syringe in his hand and then looked at the time, "Itās about right!"
With that, Ling Feng threw the syringe, and it stuck into Bassās arm.
