Urban All-Round Master

Chapter 896: Chapter 918 The Empress Dowager’s Interrogation

After spending a few hours in the South District, Lin Zifeng eagerly invited Lin Chuqing out again.

This girl insisted on relying on her own efforts to heal her eyes. Lin Zifeng couldn’t persuade her otherwise, so he promised not to help her.

However, secretly, he activated his ability to see through things and used his vital energy to gradually disperse the sickness within her body.

For a long time, the illness in her eyes only slightly faded, without much effect.

This somewhat comforted Lin Zifeng, after all, having the ability to heal by seeing through was better than not having any abilities at all.

After saying goodbye to Chuqing, Lin Zifeng found a secluded spot where no one could disturb him and delved into the secrets of the Magic Bracelet, trying to strengthen his cultivation abilities. Having just broken through to the Middle Stage of the Body Separation Realm, he was indeed still quite weak compared to the likes of Chen Bubai and Zhan Long, making him feel like a weakling.

After a whole day of meditative relaxation, the black vital energy within him began to slowly solidify.

Reaching the Middle Stage of the Body Separation Realm allowed him to completely convert the vital energy within himself into power. The most magical part of this power was that it could leave the body to form powerful light to hurt others.

If he could reach the Condensation Realm, he would be much stronger than the Body Separation Realm. A casual punch would produce more solidified powerful light compared to the Body Separation Realm.

It’s completely using powerful light to fend off enemies.

Of course, Lin Zifeng’s mutated vital energy could also produce unmatched powerful light, but compared to a true master of the Condensation Realm, his powerful light was not as solid.

When Ao Wuheng broke through to the Condensation Realm, the color of his powerful light changed. To his shock, the emitted powerful light was as solid and tangible as a blade.

This magical Condensation Realm made Lin Zifeng envious. If he could break through to the Condensation Realm, he could completely defeat opponents of a higher level!

He might even be able to withstand masters of the Qi Dao Realm!

In Lin Zifeng’s mind, besides the unpredictable abilities of the Dark Angel, there probably wasn’t anyone else who could reach the Qi Dao Realm.

The entire afternoon, Lin Zifeng was immersed in this marvelous cultivation.

He tried to use all the vital energy in his body to break through to the Peak Stage of the Body Separation Realm, but ended up somewhat disappointed. After all, breaking through to the Peak Stage of the Body Separation Realm required a vast amount of vital energy, yet that damn Magic Bracelet, even though it contained boundless elemental power, Lin Zifeng couldn’t harness it.

He used to think the Magic Bracelet was full of vital energy, but it seemed he was overthinking it—

After rehearsing a performance all afternoon at home, Lin Zifeng was so exhausted he could barely stand up.

Performing was one thing; what bothered him most was his role as a mere extra.

Essentially, he was just a background actor, or to put it bluntly, a pitiful extra.

When Nangong Bing returned in the evening, the four of them discussed the ultimate competition held at the school the next night.

Seeing Lin Zifeng standing obediently at the end of the table like nothing was wrong, Nangong Bing shot him a sidelong glance with her charming eyes.

Making Lin Zifeng feel like a criminal in her eyes.

”Cousin, can you come to the competition tomorrow night?”

After discussing it, the girls were hopeful that Nangong Bing could attend.

”Aren’t competitions usually during the day? How did it end up at night?” Lin Zifeng asked, feeling perplexed.

”Oh, you don’t get it, do you? There are daytime competitions and nighttime competitions. Besides, with so many beautiful girls participating, the ultimate competition has to be held at night.” Liu Tangtang said, her mouth stuffed with popcorn, speaking unclearly.

”Oh.” Realizing he was wrong, Lin Zifeng stopped arguing.

Meanwhile, Nangong Bing’s watery eyes kept scanning over him.

Making Lin Zifeng itch all over.

Regarding the issue of a pair of underwear, Lin Zifeng now found it difficult to explain without seeming like he was covering up.

”Fine, I’ll go with you guys tomorrow night.”

Nangong Bing said, looking at Lin Zifeng.

It seemed these words weren’t meant for Huahua and the others, but for Lin Zifeng.

”Thank you, cousin.”

”Mwah~”

Saying that, the girl stood up, pouting, and gave her cousin a big kiss.

Seeing this, Lin Zifeng felt a bit wicked if it were his own face instead of that of the old lady’s.

”Cousin, you beast. I’m going to sleep first. See you tomorrow night.”

With that, she pulled her friend and ran swiftly to the second floor. Today, they discovered a new and interesting movie and couldn’t wait to watch the DVD.

Now, only Lin Zifeng and Nangong Bing were left in the living room, watching each other in silence, neither speaking first.

”So, um, didn’t you go to work today?”

Seeing that Lin Zifeng wasn’t about to speak, Nangong Bing broke the silence first.

She knew that if she didn’t speak up, this annoying guy would keep playing dumb.

”I had some things to deal with today.”

Lin Zifeng slowly lifted his head, glanced at her, and saw a few red streaks flash across her pretty face. He knew she was still mad at him.

Ever since she discovered Lin Zifeng’s true identity, she seldom asked about his exact activities.

She only knew he worked with a Martial Arts Society and Martial Arts Alliance, as he claimed to be serving the Empire.

Currently, she was unaware of his secret formation of the Nantian Gang.

Due to a lack of communication, many of Lin Zifeng’s undisclosed secrets remained hidden from her.

”What kind of things?” Nangong Bing asked stiffly, almost firmly.

This put Lin Zifeng under a lot of pressure.

”Uhh, manly stuff.”

Faced with her sudden stern demeanor, Lin Zifeng could only grin sheepishly, trying to steer clear of her questions as much as possible.

”Manly stuff? What kind of manly stuff? Do you guys have some secret men’s business?”

Crossing her arms, Nangong Bing lifted her chin, her face pale, as she said coquettishly, ”Come on, Lin Zifeng, it’s just us, no one else. What did you do today? Speak clearly, and maybe, just maybe, I’ll be generous enough to forgive you.”

”Forgive me?”

Lin Zifeng smirked and said, ”Oh, my dear, didn’t I just say? I was merely taking care of men’s business. Even if I explain it in detail, you wouldn’t understand.”

”Wouldn’t understand? You even brought back a woman’s underwear, and you say I wouldn’t understand?”

”My dear, you really misunderstood me this time. I truly don’t know whose underwear that was, and I don’t even know how it ended up on me. Honestly, you have to believe me.”

”And how am I supposed to believe you?”

Nangong Bing lightly tapped her fingers on the table twice.

”With your high intelligence, could I really fool you?”

”Stop your nonsense. Don’t keep using that excuse. Humph, Lin Zifeng, did you sneak off for a rendezvous today? Then worried that I’d get upset, you came home and made up excuses to deceive me?”

Nangong Bing stood up with a cold smile, her alluring figure swaying as she approached him, saying, ”Come on, tell me the truth, and I might just let you off this time. I, Nangong Bing, am not a petty woman.”
