Chapter 1285: Let's Take a Walk

A group of people enjoyed sunbathing on the island, relaxing their rather fatigued bodies.

Some who liked water jumped straight into the sea to dive and play, while others chatted and made friends with each other.

Xiao Feng was very popular; many people approached him to talk about the game, asking how they could become experts.

For the questions from everyone, Xiao Feng answered what he could; for those he really couldn't explain, he didn't try to save face or pretend, speaking honestly.

Originally he had no pretensions in the game; meeting offline, they found him very easygoing and approachable, like a neighbor boy, and many took a liking to him, so the initial jealousy they felt toward him faded considerably.

Lunch was a beachside barbecue on the island; the island had prepared many vacation facilities, so whatever you wanted was available.

The promised king crab was all there, and someone even dove in personally to catch fish and shrimp, bringing back a huge haul of seafood.

Players who hadn't gone out for fun in a long time all had a great time; after eating and drinking their fill, they lay on the beach to sunbathe, not fearing a tan.

Anyway, everyone's physiques were now strong enough that getting a sunburn was hard; sunlight could no longer harm them.

At lunchtime, someone asked Xiao Feng why he hadn't brought along the female members of his regular team.

Xiao Feng calmly said they were feeling unwell and couldn't come.

Everyone wondered, after taking the Marrow Washing Fruit, could they still feel unwell?

Could all three of them be feeling unwell at the same time?

Su Lingyu couldn't help teasing: "I think Lord Xiao Feng doesn't want his girlfriends to come out and show off, so he's hidden them at home."

Xiao Feng laughed: "Saying that isn't wrong; they're all my treasures—I can't bear to let them come out and sunbathe."

Everyone let out a chorus of sighs, finding it overly sentimental.

Someone also looked concerned and said to Xiao Feng: "Little brother, you should pay more attention to your health. With so many girlfriends, it's easy to damage your kidneys."

Xiao Feng smiled and didn't respond, not wanting to say too much for fear of being seen as bragging.

In the idle afternoon, someone suggested going out to sea to try sea fishing and deep diving, to feel their current extraordinary physiques.

Many went, but Xiao Feng did not.

Because his perception had constantly sensed a powerful aura lurking in the dark, watching him—it should be that person in the small room beside Zhou Zhenwei's reception hall.

That person had been loitering nearby, possibly wanting to say something to him, so he casually made an excuse and separated from the group.

A group took a yacht out to play; left on the island were only the newly met Zhang Fan and Ye Yunyan couple, Su Lingyu who claimed she was too full to move, and Zhou Zhenwei's subordinates.

Seeing everyone had left, Xiao Feng walked toward a nearby small grove.

Because that powerful aura was inside the grove.

Unexpectedly, as he arrived and was about to call out, a sweet voice came from behind: "Lord Xiao Feng~"

Then he saw Su Lingyu running over barefoot.

"Um… Miss Su, is there something?" Xiao Feng asked.

"Can't I look for you if there's nothing?" Su Lingyu smiled, pressing her lips; the sea breeze lifted her hair ends, reflecting Xiao Feng's figure in her eyes.

She seemed to have just touched up her makeup.

"Of course, um… I'm just strolling around to digest my food; this grove has many branches, and you're barefoot—don't hurt your feet." Xiao Feng tried to find any excuse to send her away.

But Su Lingyu had come with a purpose, so she wouldn't leave easily.

She said indifferently: "It's fine; my body is now strong, my skin tough—nothing can hurt me. I also wanted to digest my food; shall we go together?"

"Emmm…"

Xiao Feng felt a little embarrassed.

He realized Su Lingyu was flirting with him; she must have something she wanted to say.

There was an unknown expert hidden in the grove; if she said something strange, it would be awkward.

So he suggested: "Let's just walk by the sea; the sand is easier to walk on."

As for the matter of experts, we can put it off for now; otherwise forcibly driving Su Lingyu away would also seem odd.

Besides… taking a walk with this district's number-one beauty on the beauty list is quite pleasant; no man would refuse.

"Alright, let's go." Su Lingyu nodded slightly.

The two left the small grove, following the grassy slope toward the nearby beach.

The sea breeze blew gently; waves lapped the shore, raising a layer of white foam.

This setting made it easy to completely relax.

After a few steps, Xiao Feng directly got to the point: "Miss Su, do you have something you'd like me to help with?"

Su Lingyu shook her head slightly to indicate no: "No, I just want to chat with you. Um… don't call me Miss Su; it feels too formal. Like Xiao Yan, call me Xiao Yu, and I won't call you Lord Xiao Feng anymore."

Xiao Feng grew even more puzzled.

This great beauty being so friendly—what exactly does she want to say?

"You're probably a year or two older than me; I'll just call you by name. If you have anything to say, say it directly—there's no one else nearby."

Su Lingyu hummed in agreement but didn't speak right away.

When they reached the edge of the grassy patch, she took Xiao Feng's hand and sat down under a patch of tree shade.

Looking left and right, confirming there was truly no one else, she then said: "Um… actually it's nothing; I just wanted to ask, Xiao Feng… you…"

She suddenly became hesitant, seeming unable to bring herself to speak, her hands not knowing where to rest.

Xiao Feng became even more confused.

Looking closely, he saw the beauty's face actually faintly blushing.

What exactly did she want to say?

Could it be…

Xiao Feng's heart skipped a beat, as if he had understood something; his expression instantly turned strange.

Su Lingyu drew out the "you" for a long while, realizing she had lost her composure; she gritted her teeth and blurted it out in one breath.

"Xiao Feng, do you still have rooms at your house?" she asked.

"Uh... ah?"

Xiao Feng froze on the spot, as if struck by lightning.

He guessed Su Lingyu might be trying to show friendliness, but he never imagined she'd ask outright as soon as she spoke whether there was a room at his place!

What kind of situation is this?

"Why are you suddenly asking this?" he asked, puzzled.

Su Lingyu's cheeks flushed slightly as she lowered her head and whispered, "I... I just think you're really strong and so handsome, I can't help but want you..."

Xiao Feng's mouth twitched: "You want to pursue me?"

"Mm!" she nodded, then cautiously asked, "Can I?"

Xiao Feng declared: "I already have a girlfriend, and actually three..."

"I don't mind, you gotta seize the opportunity to cling to a strong thigh, and you gotta pick a man early. On this planet there's no one with greater potential than you—I want to firmly grasp this promising stock!" Su Lingyu said seriously.

Xiao Feng was utterly bewildered, and couldn't help reaching out to touch her forehead.

"Tsk... you don't even have a fever, why are you talking nonsense?"

"I'm not talking nonsense, I'm serious!" Su Lingyu saw him treating her as a joke, and in her anxiety she clenched a handful of grass.

"Why is that? Just because my game account is high level?" Xiao Feng couldn't understand.

Su Lingyu clenched her fists; after confessing and facing such questioning, she was so embarrassed she felt like she could dig out a villa with her toes.

But to achieve her goal, she still endured her shyness and explained: "Lately so many things have happened; anyone with a sane mind knows that things in the game will slowly become reality. You're so strong, you might even become the controller spoken of by aliens..."

"And then?"

"Then? Then... you're so strong, so young and handsome; as a single girl, wanting to pursue you isn't exactly normal, is it?" Su Lingyu countered.
