Merging with Demon Spirits

Chapter 22: Chapter 18: School

Morning!

Lin Feng woke up early.

Due to the interference of the Nightmare, he barely managed to sleep at around three last night.

Excessive blood loss and lack of sleep resulted in his poor mental state.

”Damn!”

In the bathroom, upon seeing himself in the mirror, Lin Feng was startled.

That pale little face, devoid of any color, with faint dark circles, coupled with a listless demeanor, looked like he’d indulged excessively.

Those who didn’t know might think he had suffered a huge blow.

Sure enough, when Lin Feng walked out of the bathroom, Lin Fang, who was coming from the kitchen, was startled and nearly spilled the rice in her hand.

”I’m fine, just some insomnia last night.”

Lin Feng explained somewhat awkwardly, but clearly, no one believed him. Everyone looked at him with worry.

Seeing Lin Feng’s face so pale, Lin Fang, who had already prepared breakfast, hurried back into the kitchen to cook a braised Tusked Pig.

”Eat more, you look terrible.”

At the dining table, seeing Lin Feng’s good appetite, Lin Fang seemed hesitant to speak, her expression shifting, finally only able to sigh.

Under the worried gazes of his family, Lin Feng quickly finished breakfast, then took his sister downstairs.

”Morning, Brother Feng.”

Just downstairs, as usual, Gao Hai was already waiting there.

Seeing Lin Feng’s appearance, he was also startled but seemed to understand something, he didn’t ask further.

”Morning.”

Lin Feng nodded, even though breakfast had restored some of his Qi and blood, he was more drained, feeling weak, with his head somewhat dizzy, in a very poor state.

”Brother Dahai.”

Lele greeted Gao Hai, and while passing a building, Gao Hai and Lele subconsciously glanced at it.

It was the direction of Song of Solomon’s house.

Previously, they all went to school together as five, now missing Song of Solomon and his brother, Lin Feng didn’t feel it, but Dahai and Lele were quite unaccustomed. However, both wisely avoided the topic and name.

...

”Don’t push!”

”Why are you pushing, if you keep pushing I’ll hit you.”

As usual, the crowded train was packed, and Lin Feng and the other two finally reached a corner, cowering together.

In this era, although technology developed rapidly, convenient transportation like planes had disappeared, primarily due to Demon Beasts.

The high altitudes were filled with too many uncertain factors, for safety, the city’s main transportation was the levitating trains and subways.

”Phew...”

Gao Hai breathed a sigh of relief, wanting to adjust his clothes, but due to the crowd density, it was hard to even lift his hand. Not long after, his clothes were nearly soaked.

”Lele, come in a bit.”

Lin Feng pulled his sister in front of him, using his body as a barrier.

In such crowded environments, it’s dangerous for a girl. Even if taken advantage of, it’s hard to address, considering so many people, physical contact is normal.

”Brother Feng, when can we move into the Inner City? Crowding on this train every day is torture.”

”Soon, it won’t take long.” Lin Feng smiled and replied to Gao Hai’s complaints.

This is the hassle of living in the Outer City. Compared to those living in the Inner City, they have to wake up before dawn; even with levitating trains, getting to school still takes over an hour.

”What are you looking at?”

The spot where Lin Feng and the other two stood happened to have a small window; seeing his sister gazing outside, Lin Feng asked curiously.

”Looking at the scenery.” Lele laughed merrily.

Lin Feng followed Lele’s gaze to lock onto a red car.

It was a lavish advanced sedan; Lin Feng wasn’t versed in cars, but he knew somewhat about this car named ”Feiyue,” hearing that the minimum configuration costs over five million New Coins.

The driver was a middle-aged man, and on the car’s backseat, a little girl in a purple and red school uniform was eating breakfast while browsing her phone, looking extremely leisurely.

Lin Feng could see the envy in his sister’s eyes; the little girl was about Lele’s age, but their lives were worlds apart.

Moreover, people were driving flying cars in the air, they were the truly wealthy.

Apart from the car’s rear wings, flying cars didn’t differ much in appearance from regular cars, except they used special energy as power and were expensive and required special licenses to drive.

”It’s Yun Tianqi!”

”He’s so handsome, I want to be his girlfriend!”

”Next Wednesday’s Glory match is Thunder vs. Wolf, it’s going to be a fierce battle. Yun Tianqi might appear, even if I have to take leave, I must watch the live stream.”

”If Ye Qiu joins Thunder Team, in a few years he’ll inherit his position.”

Exclamations sounded inside the carriage as many students looked outside the window, excitedly discussing.

Following their gaze, Lin Feng looked. Not far away, on a high building’s Light Curtain, a long-haired youth in a black battle robe wielding dual blades was constantly traversing dense forests. Occasionally, Demon Beasts ambushed, the youth wielding his blades lightly cut them in half, the Demon Beast’s blood dripping along the blades, forming four red words: ”Celestial Soldier Manufacturing.”

Clearly, this was a short film advertisement.

Lin Feng was not unfamiliar with this youth, the captain of Thunder Team, Double Blade Yun Tianqi.

In the Glory Alliance, many choose dual blades as weapons, but no one was faster than Yun Tianqi. With his swift blades, he became famously recognized in the alliance.

It’s well-known that Yun Tianqi was born in Jiujiang District, the most western government low-rent housing in Jiang City, and like the Shore District, it’s ranked as one of Jiang City’s four major slums.
