Chapter 1847 - 1848: Enjoying Life
Eventually, when the battle concluded, the two got engaged; in fact, the time from their meeting to now was actually not that long.
If you were to say how deep their feelings were for each other, it's really hard to tell, but as time went on, their feelings grew deeper.
Last time when they went to Huaxia, they walked along the streets of the Capital City, and now they do the same, walking and stopping without any constraints.
"You know, I like this feeling, like being with you without a care, saying whatever I want to say, going wherever I want to go."
Mao Xuejing looked at Ling Zhenfei, her eyes curved with a smile.
They say princesses aren't necessarily beautiful, but why is Mao Xuejing so pretty.
"As long as you like it. When I come out of the Foreign Land Space, I will definitely spend some quality time in Moergawa, and then I'll accompany you to enjoy life together all day long."
Ling Zhenfei spoke about the Foreign Land Space, and Mao Xuejing's face turned serious. "It's very dangerous in there, can't you not go?"
Ling Zhenfei shook his head and said, "I've already promised someone else; I can't go back on my word. You wouldn't want your man to be someone who breaks his promises, right?"
Mao Xuejing said, "But I'm really worried about you."
Ling Zhenfei said, "Don't worry, I'm just going to take a look. I'm not greedy for treasure; you all are my treasures. I'm still waiting to come back and enjoy warm days at home with wife and kids."
Mao Xuejing blushed: "You're awful, but it's good that you know. I'm waiting for you to return safely, but how long are you going to be away?"
Ling Zhenfei said, "That's hard to say, maybe a month, maybe two months. I heard the longest someone stayed in there was over six months; I reckon a month or so should be enough for me.
But this year seems special; who knows? If I take a long time and don't return, don't wait for me."
Though Ling Zhenfei spoke casually, the words made Mao Xuejing instantly anxious.
"I knew it was dangerous in there; can't you not go?" Mao Xuejing grabbed his hand tightly and said.
Ling Zhenfei said, "I'm just thinking through all scenarios in advance; it's better to be prepared for the worst."
Mao Xuejing said, "You're not allowed to say such ominous words."
Ling Zhenfei said, "Of course I can stop saying them, but you must remember, if I don't come back for a long time, then don't wait for me, live well and find someone who loves you to marry."
Mao Xuejing pressed her nails into Ling Zhenfei hoping he wouldn't say those things, but he still finished speaking.
"You, I really don't want to talk to you anymore." Mao Xuejing said angrily.
Ling Zhenfei said; "I won't say it, I won't say it anymore."
Actually, Ling Zhenfei was slightly worried inside because recent events made him very emotional, increasingly realizing how crucial the Foreign Land Space is.
Now there are so many experts heading there, and Ling Zhenfei knows including people from the Three Great Immortal Palaces, also folks from the Huaxia Investigation Bureau, and the mysterious Li Hen Palace.
All the major sects and various forces want to grab a share in the Foreign Land Space, which seems fine for them, but what about the cultivators in the Foreign Land Space?
It is said many of them look like monsters; all kinds exist, and their power is higher than here. Demon Hunters that three Pursue Heart State experts couldn't defeat, how powerful can they be?
Therefore, Ling Zhenfei plans to say something about his affairs and clear things up.
Earlier, Mao Xuejing got upset; after lots of coaxing, she finally calmed down.
Then, as the sky gradually darkened, the two planned to go out for dinner, finding a small restaurant on the street to taste the local cuisine.
This was still a rather bustling street, with a fair number of people on it.
The two ordered some signature dishes and were eating when suddenly a group of people came from afar.
Ling Zhenfei had grown up in the city, capable of recognizing people at a glance.
The seven or eight people who came needed no introduction; it was clear they were local thugs.
Ling Zhenfei was momentarily stunned, as he had seen many like them growing up, loathing them greatly.
At this moment, they arrived at the small restaurant and two of them walked in from outside.
"Boss, it's time to pay the rent."
These two were swaggering, speaking loudly and intimidatingly.
The shop owner was at the counter settling accounts, startled upon hearing the voice, and looked at the two with fear in his eyes.
"What's rent, guys? I've already paid this month."
Their eyes immediately bulged.
One of them grabbed the owner by the collar and yelled, "You say you paid, paid whom? How come I didn't receive it?"
The shop owner said, "Paid to Black Old Three."
The one pushed the shop owner down and kicked him hard: "Are you looking for death? Whose turf is this for you to pay Black Old Three?"
The owner said in horror, "I didn't know, I thought you were together. Didn't expect you'd come twice."
The man growled, "I don't care, I didn't get rent. Give it to me, or I'll smash your shop."
Mao Xuejing whispered to Ling Zhenfei, "Is this person the owner of the shop coming to collect the store rent?"
Ling Zhenfei could only say Mao Xuejing was too naive; naturally, growing up in the Imperial Palace, she doesn't know these things.
Ling Zhenfei said, "These people are here to collect protection money; it's shocking how blatant they are."
Mao Xuejing was furious after hearing, "How can this be, committing crimes?"
The shop owner was about to cry: "I say, masters, I am just a small shop, one family's money is already a lot, if both come to collect, I really can't give that much."
The man slapped him: "You old fool, don't know your place. Pay the rent or you want to close shop?"
The shop owner was somewhat angry: "If you keep collecting like this, I really can't continue to operate this shop."
The two were thinking of starting a fight again, when a few waiting outside rushed in.
"Fifth Brother, what's going on, haven't collected yet?"
One who looked like the boss walked in with a different demeanor.
"Boss, the rent was collected by Black Old Three, we're just asking for it."
The boss shouted angrily, "Why the talk, pay up or if not cheaper just hit him."
Once the boss finished, the two immediately took action against the shop owner.
Mao Xuejing was enraged earlier; how could she have expected this to happen under the Imperial City?
"Stop it, you've got some nerve."
Mao Xuejing's yell was earth-shattering. While other diners pretended not to see to avoid trouble, her shout naturally attracted everyone's attention.
"Who dares interfere with our business?" The boss was very arrogant.
"It's me, so what. You guys simply ignore the laws." Mao Xuejing said angrily.
