Chapter 861: Where Did Dad Go?

"Where did Dad go?"

Half an hour later, seeing that Ling Lin and Dad still hadn't returned, Lin Jingru frowned and asked.

Yang Caiwei said: "Let's go back first! Senior Brother will be fine."

Ye Yingying closed her eyes and felt a strange emotion.

It came from Ling Lin.

Strangely, Ling Lin was clearly emitting a cold aura, yet I could feel she was warm.

Hmm!

Lin Jingru nodded.

Ye Yingying hesitated for a moment, then got into the car with Lin Jingru and Yang Caiwei.

Soon, the car disappeared into the night.

Ye Yingying became the driver, driving ahead.

Lin Jingru and Yang Caiwei sat in the back, whispering.

Ye Yingying could certainly hear their voices, but couldn't understand them.

Because they were speaking the Witch Tribe's language.

"Cai Wei Yiniang, why are you telling me to leave?"

Lin Jingru asked curiously.

Yang Caiwei said: "Do you want another aunt?"

"Of course I do!"

Lin Jingru widened her eyes and answered.

Then she reacted and gave a hehe laugh.

Lin Jingru understands everything.

Yang Caiwei tapped Lin Jingru on the head.

Kids these days are really smart.

……

At the same moment, Lin Feng and Ling Lin were sitting around a fire, warming themselves.

Lin Feng took out a cigarette from his pocket, picked up a burning branch, and lit the cigarette.

After taking a deep drag, he exhaled a smoke ring.

Ling Lin stared at Lin Feng.

The current Lin Feng is completely different from the Lin Feng Ling Lin saw on the bus earlier.

One looks like a sunny young man, full of vitality, making people want to get close.

Now then……

In Ling Lin's eyes, Lin Feng had many halos, and in the dim environment he appeared powerful and mysterious.

Moreover, he looked……even more handsome!

Just thinking that she would someday be his, Ling Lin felt a bit nervous and excited.

"I, I, what just happened to me?"

Ling Lin spoke up, her face full of curiosity.

Lin Feng explained: "You were trapped by the Illusion Realm."

Ling Lin nodded: "Yes! It was terrifying! All around was pitch black, many fire-covered monsters charged at me, wanting to burn me to death."

"I was so scared, I kept running…"

Ling Lin described the situation at that time.

When she fell again, she saw a ball of fire rushing toward her, bringing a scorching heat wave that was about to engulf her, and then this man appeared before her.

He grabbed her and held her in his arms.

Immediately after, that terrifying scene vanished.

Lying in his arms, she felt a sense of safety she had never known.

Lin Feng smiled slightly: "Those are all illusions; you needn't fear, for what you see before you is what will happen."

But after this, you won't see them again.

"Why do I have water on me?"

Ling Lin saw steam rising from her body and exclaimed in surprise.

The steam was produced when the fire before her baked it, causing evaporation.

Lin Feng looked at Ling Lin with interest: "Just now, when you were running, your body emitted a cold aura. Congratulations, you have gained a superpower."

For now you can't control it freely, but after training you will be able to master this energy.

Ling Lin stared in shock, raising her hands to look at her palms and arms.

"Doesn't it feel mysterious, not like the real world?"

Lin Feng asked with a smile.

Ling Lin nodded.

Lin Feng further explained: "I also have a woman by my side named Chen Yu, who can also produce a cold aura."

Back then I had Qi Yao study her; guess what's going on?

Ling Lin shook her head.

Lin Feng said: "Under your skin there is a kind of cell that can convert body fat into a strange substance; when this substance meets water, it absorbs heat extremely quickly."

The surrounding temperature drops instantly.

Of course, the substance produced by the cells is released into the air through all your pores, and the air contains moisture.

"So that's how it is!"

Ling Lin was suddenly enlightened.

Lin Feng's explanation was easy for her to understand.

In other words, she possesses, compared to other Enhancers, an extra ability: the power to generate freezing substances.

"Otherwise?"

Lin Feng retorted.

Ling Lin said, "If I encounter dry air with no surrounding moisture, would my ability be greatly weakened?"

Lin Feng shook his head and said, "Of course not! Since a person is seventy percent water, when you need to use that ability, you can draw on the water inside your body and release it together!"

Ling Lin looked at her hands and smiled happily.

Lin Feng fanned the fire before him.

Ling Lin moved a little closer.

Suddenly, it felt very cold.

Even though it's summer, the water on her body is all icy.

Especially after sitting for a while, when the blood flow slowed down.

"Sss~"

Ling Lin shivered, gritted her teeth and said, "It's a bit cold!"

It wasn't just a bit cold; it was especially cold.

Lin Feng smiled and said, "Come a little closer, I'll make the fire bigger. If the firewood runs out, I'll go fetch more."

Saying that, Lin Feng stood up, about to leave.

"Stop!"

Ling Lin hurriedly said, "I'm afraid of the dark! Don't go, I—I'll be fine after a while."

"Alright!"

Lin Feng nodded.

Ling Lin lifted her head and gave Lin Feng a careful glance.

Then she asked, "May I ask a question? Did you... did you set your sights on me and Yingying that day?"

Lin Feng smiled and said, "Beauty, everyone likes them. There are so many beauties in this world, I can't possibly think I'm the only one who likes them—should we just bring them home?"

"What happens later is purely a matter of fate between us."

Hearing Lin Feng say that, the last thread of doubt in Ling Lin's heart vanished.

When she first left the hospital, she still wondered whether everything she and Ye Yingying experienced had been orchestrated.

It was an upgraded version of the hero‑saving‑beauty trope.

One must know that the rich will resort to any means for a beauty.

But after arriving at Sihe Courtyard and seeing those paintings by Qian Miaomiao, that speculation faded considerably.

Because the looks of Qi Yao, Han Xiang, Yun Luan, Jing Wu, and other women like Mei Wu gave her a feeling of self‑contempt.

Having asked it aloud this time and receiving Lin Feng's answer, her mind finally relaxed completely.

She then thought, if it weren't for the man before her, she might already be dead now!

She had thought, upon discharge, of finding a place to silently vanish from this world.

"Thank you!"

Ling Lin said gratefully, her face full of appreciation.

Lin Feng nodded, "I love women who know how to be grateful! By the way, you don't need to worry about the matters at home.

They won't bother you again in the future."

"Oh! Good!"

Ling Lin was momentarily stunned, then nodded.

After that, the forest was left only with the crackling of burning branches.

"W-what should I call you from now on?"

A few minutes later, Ling Lin couldn't help but ask, breaking the awkward atmosphere.

Lin Feng smiled and said, "Didn't I already tell you?"

Ling Lin couldn't help laughing, "Da Huangfeng... you won't have us call you that name in the future, will you?"

"Actually, any name is fine, as long as you like it."

"I'll just call you... husband!"

Ling Lin thought for a moment, then gritted her teeth and mustered the courage to say.

She figured, since she'll be this man's woman forever, why not be straightforward.

Once the woman came to terms, what followed unfolded naturally.

"Alright then!"

Lin Feng nodded.

"My clothes are damp; let me warm them up!"

Ling Lin said, placing her hand on his shoulder.
