Chapter 1688 - 1686: Departure

Chapter 1688: Chapter 1686: Departure

An hour later, Ling Feng finally saw Princess Yun Xuan. He felt a wave of relief wash over him; it seemed Princess Yun Xuan hadn’t been harmed. That was truly fortunate!

"Ling Feng!" Seeing Ling Feng, Princess Yun Xuan’s stubborn expression instantly transformed into surprise and disbelief as she rushed into Ling Feng’s arms, holding him tightly, and choked out, "You scoundrel, why didn’t you come out sooner? Do you know how worried I was about you?"

Feeling Princess Yun Xuan’s passion, a flicker of guilt appeared in Ling Feng’s eyes. He hadn’t realized Princess Yun Xuan had grown so deeply attached to him.

"How could I ever let you down?" Ling Feng murmured to himself.

At this moment, Shi Yang’s voice came through: "I’ve brought the person to you, now can you let go as you promised?"

Ling Feng turned his head to see Shi Yang’s angry face, shaking his head while saying, "Shi Li is truly fortunate to have a father like you, but unfortunately, Shi Li is no longer who he used to be!"

Shi Yang frowned, feeling there was more to Ling Feng’s words: "Are you going to release him or not?"

"His Majesty Shi Yang, I have a question for you. Do you know that after signing a pact with a sea monster, there’s a possibility that the sea monster could reverse the pact?" Ling Feng said with a smile.

"Of course I... What do you mean..." Shi Yang asked in disbelief, his gaze resting on Shi Li.

Ling Feng simply smiled, saying nothing, and instead threw Shi Li directly in front of Shi Yang, taking hold of Princess Yun Xuan while meaningfully saying, "His Majesty Shi Yang, take care!"

With that, his figure flickered and he escaped into the distance.

The Great Elder hurriedly shouted from the side: "Stop him, kill him!"

Countless attacks rose around, but Ling Feng laughed heartily. A transparent protective barrier appeared around his body, intercepting all the attacks, and then he vanished.

"Azure Sky Realm! Ling Feng now possesses the cultivation of the Azure Sky Realm!" Guliyun, who had been coldly watching from the side, was stunned. He seemed to realize that Ling Feng held countless possibilities!

At this moment, the Water Garden was in chaos. The proud prince of the Shark People Clan had his new bride stolen right under everyone’s eyes? And had been thoroughly taught a lesson by the opponent? If word got out, Shi Li would never recover from this disgrace.

Of course, for Shi Yang right now, what’s most important isn’t catching Ling Feng, but verifying Ling Feng’s final words regarding whether Shi Li is still his son.

For the present Ling Feng, unless a master of the Later Stage of the Azure Sky Realm stepped forth, other people couldn’t stop him at all. Just the power of his physical body could crush ordinary masters at the Early Stage of the Azure Sky Realm!

Fortunately, the chaos in the Water Garden didn’t spread outside, and Ling Feng faced little obstruction as he bolted out of the Royal City of the Shark People Clan.

"Ling Feng, you’re amazing!" Once landed, Princess Yun Xuan clung tightly to Ling Feng’s arm, looking up at him with admiring eyes: "You’ve already reached the cultivation of the Azure Sky Realm, haven’t you?"

Ling Feng nodded seriously, saying, "Yunxuan, there are some things I want to talk to you about!"

Seeing Ling Feng’s serious expression, Princess Yun Xuan seemed to realize something, nodding: "Okay, let’s find a place to talk properly!"

Ling Feng took Princess Yun Xuan’s hand, and with a flicker, they disappeared from the spot, reappearing in the Heavenly Spirit Stone Cave.

"Brother Ling Feng..." Once Ling Feng and Princess Yun Xuan appeared in the cave, Guli Jia instantly rushed towards Ling Feng.

Princess Yun Xuan raised her brow, but remembering what she’d done before, she suppressed the thought of battling Guli Jia, merely saying coldly, "Don’t get too carried away now, I’m still here!"

Guli Jia looked seriously at Princess Yun Xuan: "Sister Yunxuan, I might owe you an apology. This time, I really plan on taking Brother Ling Feng away from you!"

Princess Yun Xuan sneered, "Take him away? Do you think I’ll let go?"

"I don’t need you to let go; I’ll prove myself with strength!"

Ling Feng wearily watched these two arguing beauties, coughing slightly to say, "What are you fighting over? Do you think I, Ling Feng, am some rag you two can fight over?"

Successfully halting the struggle between the two women, Ling Feng’s expression also turned serious: "Yunxuan, Guli Jia, I know both of you love me deeply. Previously, I’ve been avoiding this because of some things, but now I understand that escaping solves nothing, so... I want to talk openly."

Seeing Ling Feng’s rare seriousness, Princess Yun Xuan and Guli Jia widened their eyes at him, setting aside their quarrel.

Ling Feng said solemnly: "You both know my identity, and that I have heavy responsibilities on my shoulders. I’m carrying the hope of two worlds, so I dare not relax even a moment. I also don’t dare to divert my thoughts to other matters, including emotions!"

"I have alliances with both the Demon King and His Majesty Gu Lin. These are pacts concerning two races and two worlds, and I don’t want my personal feelings to affect them! So, I’ve been repressing my emotions."

Ling Feng confessed, "Princess Yun Xuan, you’re the Pride of Heaven, kind, strong, and beautiful! When we met in the Holy Land of the Angel World, I never dared to imagine I’d become your fiancé, nor did I ever expect such deep bonds between us!"

Princess Yun Xuan wanted to say something, but Ling Feng stopped her, "Listen to me first. I’ve always cautiously maintained our distance. On one hand, because I couldn’t afford to indulge in this affection, and on the other, I felt somewhat insecure, since you’ve always been the brightest diamond on my crown!"

"I don’t want to be the diamond on the crown!" Princess Yun Xuan replied earnestly, "I just want to stay by your side!"

Ling Feng gently touched Princess Yun Xuan’s head, then glanced at Guli Jia: "Honestly, Guli Jia, my feelings for you are no different from my feelings for Princess Yun Xuan. You’re also a lovely and adorable girl. If I were free of ties now, I’d have pursued you long ago!"

"I’ve never responded to your feelings. I even deceived myself at one point, hoping you’d forget after some time, but I was wrong. Such a mindset is both disrespectful and a violation towards you!"

"Therefore, today, I want to speak candidly." Ling Feng said seriously, "I actually have a beloved woman in my hometown. I left home to save my world, and until I complete this mission, I won’t scatter my focus elsewhere!"
