The Art of Chaotic Divinity

Chapter 1572: King Mo Feng

"Thank you, Miss Yue..."

Ling Feng raised his head and looked at Yue Yunlan. He had never been perceptive when it came to matters of the heart. Perhaps only when he truly understood his own feelings would he know who he genuinely loved.

"Is it only when my life hangs by a thread that you stop being so distant with me, Mr. Ling?"

Yue Yunlan bit her lip and looked at Ling Feng intently.

"You are right." Ling Feng shook his head with a faint smile. "I should have called you Yunlan earlier. Sorry, I forgot again."

"Idiot, idiot!"

At that moment, the door burst open. A white figure and a black figure tumbled inside. It turned out that the Despicable Donkey and Qiao Qiao had been eavesdropping outside the entire time.

The more Qiao Qiao listened, the more upset she became. She ground her teeth in frustration until the door could no longer hold and was pushed open by her and the donkey.

"Qiao Qiao, you two..."

Ling Feng's face flushed when he realized they had been listening outside.

"Hmph, you heartless man. You cannot even stay loyal. How can you treat Miss like this?"

Qiao Qiao glared at Ling Feng angrily and scolded him without restraint.

"That is enough, Qiao Qiao. This matter does not concern you."

Yue Yunlan shook her head and said to Ling Feng, "Mr. Ling, Qiao Qiao is still young and speaks her mind. Please do not take it to heart."

"I will not."

Ling Feng took a deep breath and looked at Yue Yunlan again. "Yunlan, take care and get some rest. If you need anything, just ask the Despicable Donkey. I must set out immediately and return to the Tianbai Empire."

This journey had taken quite a long time. He needed to return to the Dongling Immortal Pool as soon as possible. If he missed the registration for the Sunset Heaven Selection, he would regret it deeply.

He quickly left Yue Yunlan's room. The Despicable Donkey trotted after him with a mischievous grin.

"Hehe, that is a difficult choice. Miss Mu is great, and this Miss Yue is great too. There is also that Tuoba girl and that Jiang girl at the Dongling Immortal Pool. You have quite the romantic troubles."

Ling Feng shot him a glare. "Stop talking nonsense. Yan'er and that Jiang girl are different."

"Please, you are just dense."

The Despicable Donkey muttered under his breath before continuing, "This divine beast can give you a piece of advice. It might help you."

"What advice?" Ling Feng asked.

The Despicable Donkey grinned broadly, showing his large white teeth. "Children make choices. Adults take everything."

Ling Feng rolled his eyes and raised a middle finger at him. "I cannot be bothered with you."

With a flicker, Ling Feng returned to the outside world. He traveled through the night and finally left the Tianlan Sea Region three days later.

After reentering the territory of the Tianbai Empire, he took a detour through the Misty Ghost Forest and headed straight for the imperial capital.

...

During Ling Feng's absence, tremendous changes had taken place in the capital of the Tianbai Empire.

These changes were not for the worse.

After the death of Yan Jinghong, the entire Yan clan was imprisoned. Even the Empress Dowager was confined within the palace and stripped of her freedom.

About half a month later, under the leadership of Yue Zhonglian, the civil and military officials personally welcomed Mo Feng, the Jingwang, back to the imperial capital. The people submitted, and the court pledged allegiance.

Three days later, Jingwang ascended the throne and became the new ruler.

The commander in chief of the Three Armies, Yuan Tiangang, had made the right choice. He had supported Jingwang from the beginning. After the ascension, he was granted the title of Duke Protector and rose to the highest rank among officials.

As for Jiang Xiaofan, Li Bufan, Li Yunting, and Mu Liufeng, they were all rewarded according to their merits.

Jiang Xiaofan and Li Bufan, in particular, became the youngest generals in the history of the Tianbai Empire. Their prestige even surpassed that of Ling Feng in his earlier years.

Everyone, however, was waiting for one person.

Ling Feng.

During this catastrophe, he had turned the tide almost single handedly. Without question, he was the greatest contributor.

Jingwang had even wanted to delay the enthronement ceremony until Ling Feng returned. However, a nation cannot remain without a ruler. Ling Feng's return date was uncertain, so the plan could not continue.

Now that the new ruler had ascended and restored order, the Tianbai Empire regained its former peace.

In less than a month, life in the imperial capital returned to normal. The city became lively and prosperous once more.

On the walls of the imperial city.

Jingwang, now the King of Tianbai, stood with his hands behind his back and gazed toward the horizon as if waiting for someone.

Behind him stood two imposing generals.

They were Jiang Xiaofan and Li Bufan, now pillars of the state and his most trusted aides.

"All that I have today is thanks to Brother Feng. It is a pity that he was not present when I ascended the throne."

Mo Feng sighed softly.

Since his ascension, he had come to the city wall every evening to wait in silence.

"I wonder how Miss Yue is doing. Big Brother's medical skills are so remarkable, yet even he could not cure her."

Jiang Xiaofan let out a quiet sigh.

"If it is Ling Feng, there is nothing he cannot accomplish. When he returns, he will surely bring back a lively and healthy Miss Yue."

Li Bufan smiled faintly.

Because of Ling Feng, although the Grand Commandant's residence had suffered some losses, his elder brother and grandfather both survived the disaster.

Li Bufan felt deeply grateful.

"Haha, as expected of my best brothers. You truly understand me."

At that moment, a white figure flashed and landed steadily before Mo Feng.

"Who goes there?"

The surrounding guards immediately drew their weapons in alarm.

"Stand down."

Mo Feng dismissed them and strode forward, embracing the figure tightly.

"Brother Feng!"

Jiang Xiaofan and Li Bufan's eyes reddened as they hurried forward. "Big Brother. Brother Ling."

The person who had arrived was none other than Ling Feng.

After days of relentless travel, even he felt some fatigue.

"My brothers."

Ling Feng smiled freely. Seeing Mo Feng in imperial robes, he could not help but smile. "Who would have thought that the boy from Tianwei Academy who used to sneak into the library to read questionable books would become the ruler of a nation?"

Thinking back to The Romance of Imperial Princesses, the memory was still vivid.

Mo Feng laughed. "It feels like yesterday."

He looked at Ling Feng with gratitude. "Everything I have today is thanks to you."

"There is no need to say such things again."

Ling Feng met his gaze. "Should I call you Your Majesty now?"

"Others must, but you do not. You, Bufan, and Xiaofan never need to change how you address me."

Mo Feng spoke firmly.

Ling Feng smiled. "That is enough for me. I need to escort Miss Yue back to the Cangqiong Sect. We will talk at length another time."

He nodded to Jiang Xiaofan and Li Bufan, then leaped into the sky and vanished into the distance.
