Chapter 1187 - It’s All Your Fault!
Chapter 1187 It’s All Your Fault!
“That faction is willing to send Shadow King to follow him. This means that he is very important to them. Ling Yi is quite useless now but useless things can be recycled too.” Li Lanfeng smiled.
“Do you think that I’ll be happy? He is part of the Ling family.” Ling Lan glanced at Li Lanfeng to warn him to not be too excited.
“Really?” Li Lanfeng smiled and leaned closer to Ling Lan. Ling Lan’s heart started pounding furiously as Li Lanfeng’s face got closer to hers.
But, Ling Lan was still Ling Lan. She had seen all kinds of young and handsome youths before so she learned to remain composed and unaffected. Her ice-cold facade couldn’t be easily broken with just Li Lanfeng’s smile.
She calmly retracted her gaze and replied, “I won’t interfere in this matter. However, I can’t disappoint my loyalists. Be careful of what you do. Don’t go overboard.”
Li Lanfeng smiled even brighter when he heard Ling Lan’s reply. Since Ling Lan let him take care of Ling Yi, it meant that he was part of Ling Lan’s family now, right?
He felt something sweet brewing in his heart. Li Lanfeng knew that this was just his own wishful thoughts but he wanted to remain in the dream.
‘Ling Lan, stop pampering me like this!’ What was left of his logical side shouted helplessly.
The more Ling Lan trusted him, the greedier he would get. Li Lanfeng felt that his love for Ling Lan was losing control.
“Ling Lan…” Li Lanfeng groaned in pain. He weakly fell forward.
Ling Lan quickly caught him, stopping him from falling on the ground.
“What’s the matter?” Ling Lan frowned. There was concern in her eyes. “Let me call Shiyu over.”
Li Lanfeng’s hands quickly reached out to stop her from contacting Li Shiyu using her communicator. “There is no need. It’s an old issue. Just let me rest for a moment.”
His face scrunched up in pain. His entire body seemed to be experiencing excruciating pain.
Ling Lan knew what this felt like. In her past life, she had experienced this pain too. Even if Shiyu came, he would only be able to alleviate the pain.
She understood the feeling so she didn’t let go of Li Lanfeng’s hand. She wanted to give him some mental support.
Li Lanfeng smiled secretly. He slowly leaned towards Ling Lan’s chest and felt the cold aura around her. He was so happy that he wouldn’t regret even if he died now.
“Remember to practice the Qi exercises.” Ling Lan reminded him patiently when she noticed Li Lanfeng was feeling better.
“Okay.” Li Lanfeng couldn’t stop smiling as he could sense Ling Lan’s worry in her tone. He quickly started practicing the Qi exercises.
Ling Lan heaved a sigh of relief when Li Lanfeng started his exercises.
Li Lanfeng practiced the Qi exercises a little too late which had caused the recovery of his illness to be snail-pace. Every time he advanced in terms of physical skills, he would receive a backlash. Only the Qi exercises and the third generation of Nuwa gene agent, created by Li Shiyu and Little Four, were able to help him.
Ultimately, the root of the illness was still unsolved. The only way he could totally recover was if he stopped advancing. However, that was impossible. Ling Lan knew Li Lanfeng’s dream. He wanted to stand and fight alongside her. He would never give up his dream even if he was constantly tormented by pain.
Sometimes, Ling Lan felt that she treated Li Lanfeng differently from her other companions. Was it because he reminded her of her past life?
Maybe this was the truth. She felt pity for Li Lanfeng just like how she felt pity for herself in her past life. To Ling Lan, saving Li Lanfeng was like saving her past life.
“Li Lanfeng, you must get better,” Ling Lan softly said.
She tightly hugged the beauty in her arms. She felt as if she was hugging her past weak self, the person who wanted to cry but could only smile on the surface, the person that wanted to receive consolation but never did.
A pair of strong hands suddenly reached out and hugged her waist. Ling Lan was stunned as Li Lanfeng said in a hoarse voice, “I’ll definitely get better.”
Suddenly, she felt wet on her chest. Ling Lan realized Li Lanfeng must have felt touched by her words so he cried in her arms.
Ling Lan felt a little speechless. She looked at the ceiling of the secret room in exasperation. ‘Fine… misunderstandings are beautiful. Let him stay in his dream. I can’t tell him the truth and break the beauty’s heart, right?’
‘Ling Lan, you’re too good to me. How can I bear to let you go? I don’t care. This is your fault. You give me hope. Let’s go to hell together!’
Li Lanfeng gave a weird smile. His gaze was firm and sinister.
After Li Lanfeng’s emotions got stabilized, Ling Lan patted his back lightly. “Are you feeling better?”
“Yes.” Li Lanfeng took a deep breath and squeezed out a word. He couldn’t bear to let Ling Lan go.
“Then, sit up straight.”
‘Do you think I’m a pillow? My arms are getting tired from hugging you.’
Li Lanfeng knew that he couldn’t keep lying on Ling Lan so he begrudgingly got up. When he recalled how shamelessly he was when he laid in Ling Lan’s chest, he felt a little shy. There was a faint blush on his beautiful face, making his embarrassed expression seductive.
Why did he feel embarrassed when he was such a shameless person? Well, this was his first touchy experience. This was the first time he made a move on Ling Lan too. He didn’t have any experience so it was normal that he would feel embarrassed.
‘Damn it! The beauty attack is undefeatable!’
Ling Lan swallowed her saliva secretly. She thought that Li Lanfeng felt embarrassed because he had cried just now. She didn’t want the air around them to be awkward so she changed the topic. “How will you take care of Shadow King?”
Ling Lan was very interested in Shadow King.
Li Lanfeng’s embarrassed expression instantly turned normal again. He replied Ling Lan with a serious face, “I’ve already sent him to Li Shiyu. I reminded Li Shiyu to inspect Tao Xiaotao’s body thoroughly. I want to know how they’re able to substitute someone so perfectly.”
Ling Lan agreed with Li Lanfeng’s plan. She stood up and said, “Let’s go and watch Shiyu together. He might give us some useful clues.” Little Four had already analyzed all the information he got from the base on Planet Azure. However, without a body, he couldn’t confirm his hypothesis. So, visiting Li Shiyu would be a good opportunity to ascertain his hypothesis.
