Chapter 1797: Chapter 1794: The Story Within the Song
The arrival of Ling Feng startled the woman who was singing. She turned her head, eyeing Ling Feng warily: "Who are you? Why are you here?"
A flash of admiration appeared in Ling Fengās eyes. The woman was very beautiful, with a rather outstanding presence, a gentle elegance mixed with a touch of proud aloofness, giving off an exotic allure.
Ling Feng smiled lightly: "What, only youāre allowed to sing here, and others canāt come? Thatās a bit overbearing, isnāt it?"
The woman was slightly taken aback, then frowned slightly: "Who are you? How could you come here to hear me sing?"
Ling Feng looked amused and said: "How surprising, as if Iām deaf. Is it strange to hear you sing? Besides, when asking others, shouldnāt you first introduce yourself? Thatās basic courtesy, isnāt it?"
The woman looked at Ling Feng with interest: "You donāt know me?"
"Am I supposed to know you?" Ling Feng was a bit puzzled,
The woman took a deep breath: "My name is Ming Xue, now can you tell me your name?"
"Why do I have to tell you my name just because you told me yours?" Ling Feng asked strangely: "Weāre just strangers meeting by chance. Do you ask everyone you meet for their name? Are you that idle with... no, aching with boredom?"
Hearing Ling Fengās words, Ming Xue gritted her teeth: "You... you dare to tease me?"
"Iām not that idle!" Ling Feng shook his head and said: "Iām just passing by; you continue singing, donāt mind me. Oh, by the way, I must say, your singing is really quite good, keep it up!"
With that, Ling Feng was about to slip away. He had a feeling that if he stayed longer, trouble might find him.
But in a blink, Ming Xue was already in front of Ling Feng, coldly saying: "Why are you in such a hurry to leave if you havenāt done anything wrong? Moreover, I find your behavior suspicious; if you leave, Iāll report you to the Airship manager!"
Ling Feng felt a headache coming on. He didnāt understand why this pretty girl wouldnāt let him go. Could it really be that his charm was just too dazzling? But now he looked like a weather-beaten middle-aged man!

"Ahem, is there anything else, miss?" Ling Feng calmly said: "For such a small thing, you want to alarm the guild? Isnāt that making a big fuss over nothing?"
Ming Xue smiled triumphantly: "Hmph, now youāre afraid?"
"Not afraid, just avoiding trouble!" Ling Feng shrugged and said: "The more beautiful the woman, the more troublesome, and you are a super big trouble!"
Ming Xueās face flushed slightly, coyly retorting: "Stop sweet-talking in front of me. You say you can hear me sing, then do you know what Iām singing about?"
Ling Feng furrowed his brow: "Isnāt it about love and longing, like a romantic ballad? Anyway, I only hear something about waiting in the songās voice. Is the miss missing her lover from afar?"
"What nonsense are you talking about! I donāt have someone I like!" Ming Xue rolled her eyes and said: "Besides hearing about waiting, what else did you hear?"
"I only heard half of it!" Ling Feng shrugged: "Besides, I donāt even understand what language youāre singing in. How about you sing it again for me?"
Ling Fengās words carried a playful tone, but Ming Xue nodded: "Fine, Iāll sing it again for you, listen carefully this time!"
Ling Feng was taken aback: "Actually... Miss Ming Xue, you really donāt have to, it doesnāt matter whether I understand or not!"
"No way! You have to listen!" Ming Xue said indisputably: "If you donāt listen carefully, Iāll say youāre harassing me here."
Ling Feng took a sharp intake of breath, this was too ruthless, wasnāt her reputation worth anything to her?
"Alright, I get it!" Ling Feng chuckled bitterly: "Iāll listen, after all, itās not me getting the short end of the stick!"
Hearing Ling Feng agree, Ming Xue breathed a sigh of relief, then cleared her throat and began to sing seriously from the start.
Watching Ming Xue get serious, Ling Feng also put away his casual attitude. Since the other party sincerely invited him to listen, he should at least listen attentively to show respect.
When Ling Feng got serious, his thoughts seemed to enter another world with the song. In that world, their originally peaceful homeland was invaded by different races. To protect it, everyone took up arms to fight for freedom.
But their strength was too weak and was quickly brutally suppressed. Countless warriors shed blood on the battlefield, and flames of war soon engulfed the entire world! The different races used blood and swords to suppress and enslave people.
The people wanted to resist, but the power gap was too great, and they were kept like livestock. But at this moment, lightning split the sky, and a man with a Giant Axe appeared before the people.
He swung the Giant Axe, destroying the different racesā cities one after another, killing their experts, saving those who had been humiliated. When hope and light were restored in the world, the man wielding the Giant Axe split the sky again and disappeared from this world, leaving only the longing and anticipation of the people for him.
Time passed, and the world changed, but people never forgot the figure that seemed like a Heavenly God descended. They believed the Heavenly God-like man would return, and they would wait forever...
When the song finished, a heavy look appeared on Ming Xueās face, and Ling Feng no longer had his casual demeanor from before.
"What a tragic story!" Ling Feng exclaimed: "Although I donāt know what language you sang in, I could feel the story, feel the epic, legendary story."
"So you really understood!" Ming Xueās eyes held a complex look: "Can you tell me, what did you hear?"
Ling Feng nodded, then told Ming Xue the entire story he had heard, word for word.
A look of shock appeared on Ming Xueās face: "You really understood, you really understood everything!"
Ling Feng asked curiously: "Is there a problem? Is it really that strange for me to understand?"
Ming Xue stepped forward and grabbed Ling Fengās hand, excitedly saying: "I finally met someone who can understand this song, Iām so happy!"
Ling Fengās mouth twitched: "Miss Ming Xue, although you are very beautiful, Iām not a casual man. Itās a bit inappropriate for you to be holding my hand like this. If someone sees us... I really wonāt be able to explain!"
