Chapter 278: Completing Research and Development

These snacks are certainly delicious, but they are not a proper meal after all.

Ning Feiliu then intended to go to a hotel to eat, but Ye Lingling indicated that she could cook.

This was something Ning Feiliu had not expected; after all, Ye Lingling was a young lady of high status, and she did not look like someone who would cook.

Yet, over these years, Ye Lingling had actually been living in this medical clinic by following his methods.

So, she also learned to cook, just as Ning Feiliu had done when he was alone in the clinic back then.

Over these years, she had also practiced and developed a good culinary skill.

Ning Feiliu naturally did not know this, and he then suggested that they cook together, rather than having one person do the work while the other two watched.

Dugu Yan immediately and excitedly agreed.

And so... he saw Ye Lingling's practiced culinary skills, as well as Dugu Yan's flustered and chaotic appearance.

In the end, Dugu Yan was only responsible for the simplest tasks like washing and picking vegetables, while Ning Feiliu and Ye Lingling were responsible for the technical work such as chopping and cooking.

Then, the three of them made a somewhat home-style meal just like that.

This home-style meal was not inferior to the food at a mid-sized restaurant, after all, Ning Feiliu was the one cooking.

Of course, it could not compare to the craftsmanship of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's head chefs or the Heaven Dou Royal Hotel.

It was just that Ning Feiliu, Ye Lingling, and Dugu Yan felt that this dinner was much better than the family banquets of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect or the imperial feasts of the Heaven Dou Royal Hotel.

As night fell, although they were dining in the medical clinic, Ning Feiliu and Dugu Yan did not intend to stay the night at the clinic.

After all, the space behind this medical clinic was not very large, and it would be very uncomfortable to accommodate three people resting.

And... could it be that Ning Feiliu, Ye Lingling, and Dugu Yan would all sleep in that one bed together? It just felt strange.

Thus, Ning Feiliu and Dugu Yan planned to head back.

"Also, Lingling, I think there is actually no need to keep this medical clinic open anymore," Ning Feiliu finally said to Ye Lingling.

He was not a bleeding heart; opening the medical clinic back then was only to better complete his tasks and achieve his own goals.

So, after his goals were achieved, he had not paid much attention to this clinic.

He also did not want Ye Lingling to be constrained by this medical clinic; when it is time to let go, one should let go.

"Mm, I will," Ye Lingling nodded and said earnestly.

At the beginning, she had only taken over this medical clinic because of Ning Feiliu.

Now, she no longer needed to use this medical clinic to miss Ning Feiliu; she could already be with Ning Feiliu openly and honestly.

"By the way, perhaps after a period of time, let's go traveling together," Ning Feiliu said with a smile.

There was the Thunder Hell Vine ruin mission triggered previously, as well as the remaining mission to travel through Bei Jing; this time, there was no need to consider matters regarding Slaughter City, and Ning Feiliu's own strength was so great, plus he had Xue Di's protection.

So this time, he wanted to try bringing his family along... bringing Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling.

And while he was at it... let them meet Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er.

"Go traveling?" Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling were both very curious and asked.

"Mm, we will go traveling together!" Ning Feiliu said with a smile, "And you can also meet Bing'er and Yue'er."

"That... alright then," Dugu Yan immediately said with a smile, "I really want to see what kind of girl saved my Feiliu, making him so infatuated that he would give himself to her."

Ning Feiliu felt a bit helpless and said with a smile, "They are just like you, both very excellent and kind girls."

"Mm, I have no problem with that either," Ye Lingling also nodded at this time and said.

"Then it's settled; once I finish the latest Soul Guidance Device research and development, we will go travel across the Douluo Dalu together," Ning Feiliu said in the end.

"Then we are leaving," Dugu Yan finally waved her hand at Ye Lingling and said.

"Yanyan, Feiliu, goodnight." Ye Lingling, for the first time in a long while, was no longer so cold and aloof, and she said this with a smile toward Dugu Yan and Ning Feiliu.

"Lingling... goodnight to you too," Ning Feiliu said with a smile.

Ye Lingling's pretty face flushed red as she looked at him, and then she nodded.

Ning Feiliu and Dugu Yan left the medical clinic holding hands just like that.

Ye Lingling watched them depart before returning to the medical clinic; only, as she recalled what happened tonight once more, she touched her lips where the temperature seemed to still linger, and she suddenly smiled shyly and happily.

She liked Ning Feiliu; yes, she even liked Ning Feiliu to the extent that she was willing to share him with Dugu Yan.

Because if it were not like this, how could she have obtained Ning Feiliu's affection?

On the contrary, in her view, she was not losing out; it was actually Dugu Yan, as Ning Feiliu originally belonged only to her, but he was shared with Ye Lingling as well.

Ye Lingling was actually the one taking advantage; what right did she have to fantasize about monopolizing Ning Feiliu?

Just like that, Ye Lingling returned to the courtyard; she had intended to cultivate, but her heart could not calm down for a long time.

Finally, she thought about it and decided to have a "goodnight" just as Ning Feiliu had said.

This time, she fell into a sound sleep and had a beautiful dream; the romantic scenes in the dream were so real that they made her heart flutter and become intoxicated.

The beautiful dream of this night was destined to be long.

After Ning Feiliu and Dugu Yan left, Ning Feiliu intended to invite Dugu Yan back to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

However, this time...

Dugu Yan looked at him and suddenly said, "No... let's stay at my place tonight."

"Stay at your place, Sister Yan? Why?" Ning Feiliu said with some curiosity.

He did not think there was any difference between the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and the Dugu family's mansion in Heaven Dou City.

But... this was the first time Dugu Yan had invited him to spend the night at Dugu Mansion, so it was somewhat special.

However, Dugu Yan gritted her teeth and looked at him again, saying, "Because... I am very angry!"

"Angry?" Ning Feiliu was stunned for a moment, not knowing what Dugu Yan meant by this.

Dugu Yan looked at him huffily and said, "Why? Why is it that even though I met you first, and I was with you first, your first kiss was not mine!"

"This... at the time, I was trying to save someone..." Ning Feiliu explained with a wry smile.

However, just at this moment, Dugu Yan rolled her eyes and said, "Right, right, right, you were trying to save someone... I can understand that, but I'm still very angry, however..."

She looked straight into Ning Feiliu's eyes and said, "Your first kiss is gone, but your first time is still there! I don't want any other woman to snatch away your first time!"

Ning Feiliu widened his eyes, looking at Dugu Yan in astonishment, not quite knowing what to say.

"Tonight... I want to take your first time; this is... a punishment for you." Dugu Yan grabbed Ning Feiliu's hand and bit down on his thumb.

Ning Feiliu looked at Dugu Yan, who appeared somewhat bright and moving under the moonlight, and his heartbeat couldn't help but run wild.

First of all, he was no novice in his past life; he had had a girlfriend, and he had already done everything that should be done.

He also didn't have any chastity precepts, nor did he think there was anything wrong with premarital sex.

Moreover, they were already adults; there was nothing wrong with this kind of thing.

Yet, facing what Dugu Yan said, he still couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

"How about it? You wouldn't be unwilling, would you?" Dugu Yan rolled her eyes and said. "I can," Ning Feiliu replied with a deep breath and a smile.

"That's good then... let's go, let's head back." Dugu Yan pulled Ning Feiliu directly and ran all the way back to the Dugu Mansion.

Arriving at Dugu Yan's boudoir, the two were honest with each other; this was their first time being like this, and it was also the first time Ning Feiliu had seen this beautiful and unknown side of Dugu Yan.

"Feiliu... be a little gentler with me." Dugu Yan's eyes were like silk; she hugged Ning Feiliu's shoulders, bit him on one, and then said.

"Mm... let's take it slow," Ning Feiliu said gently.

He had experience in this area and knew that if the first time wasn't handled carefully, the girl might feel it wasn't a very good experience.

So, this night, he was very gentle and very patient.

He was like an experienced teacher with a garden full of students, carefully instructing Dugu Yan.

After Dugu Yan had finished experiencing that initial discomfort, Ning Feiliu began to display his myriad of skills.

In Dugu Yan's eyes, Ning Feiliu was at times as swift and fierce as Through-Arm, at times as violent as Breaking-Armor, at times as compelling as Life-Chasing, and at times brought explosive pleasure like Eagle Eye.

Dugu Yan immediately enjoyed unspeakable happiness amidst his gentleness, his strength, and his violence.

But later, she discovered that she... seemed to have opened a door that shouldn't have been opened.

Ning Feiliu's talent was just as formidable as his talent in cultivation.

At the very least, she found it somewhat difficult to bear.

At this moment, she felt that what she had done was right.

"If it were only me, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to withstand Feiliu's tossing and would break down completely, right?" Dugu Yan felt immensely fortunate in her heart that she had accepted Ning Feiliu having other women.

Finally, after she truly couldn't take it anymore and begged for mercy, Ning Feiliu stopped out of pity for her.

However, it could be seen that he was still not quite satisfied...

Just as the saying goes, everything is difficult at the start.

But as long as you get off to a good start, everything that follows is very smooth.

Ning Feiliu had tasted the sweetness, and subsequently, while researching Soul Guidance Devices, he did not forget Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling; the three of them lived quite intimately.

But every time, Ning Feiliu would only seek out Dugu Yan.

This made Dugu Yan somewhat distressed.

And so... she decisively chose to let Ye Lingling help her.

The three of them finally had a battle that left Ning Feiliu feeling thoroughly satisfied, but... Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling were surprised to see that he was still somewhat unsatisfied.

This made them feel a bit panicked.

However, they still enjoyed it immensely and could never refuse Ning Feiliu's requests.

This was just like instant noodles; the first bite or two were incredibly delicious, the third or fourth bite declined, and by the fifth bite, the average person would already feel a bit uncomfortable.

Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling felt the same way; the first bite was too delicious, and while the second and third times were a bit cloying, they were still very good.

The fourth and fifth times, they were a bit full.

The sixth time... no, they were a bit stuffed.

The seventh time... really no, they couldn't eat anymore.

Yet Ning Feiliu was...

First time! Battle! Awesome!

Second time! Battle! Awesome!

Third time! Battle! Awesome!

Fourth time! Battle! Awesome!

Ninth time! Battle! Awesome!

And this was not his limit; this was only the limit of Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling.

However, it was not a big problem; Ye Lingling's soul skill could restore a portion of physical strength.

But they still couldn't quite withstand Ning Feiliu's vigorous carnal desire.

However, Ning Feiliu was not someone who only cared about his own pleasure and ignored the feelings of others.

He would only stop once Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling reached their limits.

So Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling still enjoyed it very much, but they made up their minds that after they followed Ning Feiliu on his travels, if such things happened again, they would pull Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er in to help.

Besides this, Ning Feiliu's main focus during this period was still researching new types of Soul Guidance Devices.

However, with the Hextech Crystal and the extracted simulated soul skill, what followed was the matter of carving the Soul Guidance Array and assembling the Soul Guidance Device.

This task was not considered very difficult, so after more than a month...

Ning Feiliu carefully finished carving the final output array of the Soul Guidance Device, then placed the core of the simulated soul skill into the Soul Guidance Array.

A flash of red light streaked by, and the drifting energy core calmed down and stabilized, releasing a faint red glow.

"Very good... it has stabilized." Ning Feiliu immediately felt relieved as he closed the plate on the Soul Skill Core, then used the laser device powered by the Hextech Crystal to weld it shut bit by bit.

"Finally, it is time for the Hextech Crystal." He took a deep breath and picked up the piece of Hextech Crystal from the side.

This was not as difficult as placing the Soul Skill Core into the Soul Guidance Array earlier, but it was the final step in completing this epoch-making Soul Guidance Device of his.

Once completed, this type of Soul Guidance Device capable of triggering a soul skill would officially be unveiled to the world.

He knew very well that once this type of Soul Guidance Device was unveiled, it would be an unprecedented, great achievement for the Douluo Continent.

However, he did not care; a Soul Guidance Device was just meant to be used, and whatever "great achievement" it was did not matter at all.

Ning Feiliu finally picked up that piece of Hextech Crystal and gently placed it in the center on top of the bracer.

Accompanied by a "Bang—" sound, the Hextech Crystal seemed to be attracted by a magnet and fell directly into place, making the entire bracer a seamless whole.

The bracer as a whole presented a gorgeous blue-gold color, woven from exquisite metal threads, with a brilliant sapphire embedded on the surface, emitting a charming glow.

The overall design was elegant and noble, with smooth lines, as if it were a work of art.

The edges of the bracer were decorated with exquisite vine patterns, looking extremely delicate.

"Completed! The Explorer Bracer!" Ning Feiliu said with a smile.

This was the Soul Guidance Device he had forged using the innate soul skill of the Soft Bone Rabbit, Invincible Golden Body.

Not only could soul power be injected into it to trigger the Invincible Golden Body soul skill, but it could also provide an Enhancement to a Spirit Master's defensive power, and it could block many attacks on its own.

Most importantly, although the inspiration came from the Explorer Bracer in the game, this Explorer Bracer was not a one-time-use item.

It could be used three times in a short period, and only after being used up would it enter a one-day cooldown period, waiting for the Hextech Crystal to automatically recharge.
