"It's Chu Xin!"
Ye Feng frowned.
He had seen the mecha that suddenly appeared and blocked their path before. It belonged to Chu Xin from Mech City.
"It's already a miracle you can survive in this apocalypse, a person like you. Having so many Desperation Potions is useless!"
"Hand them over!"
At this moment, Chu Xin's icy voice came through the mecha's broadcast system.
There was no room for negotiation in her tone; it was an absolute command!
"How... how did this guy know I have Desperation Potions?"
"There was no one else around at the time?"
Ye Feng's brows furrowed tightly, muttering to himself.
"Swoosh~ Crackle~...
Before Ye Feng could speak, a gust of wind blew, and the sound of ice forming echoed. Chu Xin's mecha was instantly frozen into a giant ice sculpture.
It was Bing who had acted!
Ye Feng turned to look and saw Bing smile at him slightly, then wave goodbye.
"Oh~ Goodbye~"
Ye Feng, Xiao Xiao, and Ling Xi also waved to Bing and then entered the spatial teleportation array, disappearing.
After the three of them entered the spatial teleportation array, it also vanished...
"Bang!~ Bang~... Crash!~"
At this moment, several muffled impact sounds rang out. It was Chu Xin controlling her mecha, breaking free from the ice that had bound her.
"People from Arcane City, what do you mean by this? Are you trying to start a war with Mech City?"
Chu Xin's enraged voice immediately sounded.
Bing did not speak, turning directly towards the spatial teleportation array of Arcane City.
"Can you represent Mech City?"
Jiang Shi Shan glanced at Chu Xin and replied indifferently, then turned and followed Bing.
"You... you guys!"
The almost dismissive attitude of Bing and Jiang Shi Shan made Chu Xin tremble with rage, her body feeling cold, yet she dared not retort...
As for attacking them, Chu Xin had no confidence.
Especially after Bing's sudden freezing move, she hadn't even reacted.
...
On the other side,
After Ye Feng, Xiao Xiao, and Ling Xi entered the unknown spatial teleportation array, they landed in an unfamiliar forest.
"It seems like we're very far from Desperation City. I don't recognize any of the terrain I've seen before."
Ye Feng observed their surroundings with binoculars and murmured.
"Big brother, hurry, Sister Ling Xi says she's leaving!"
At this moment, Xiao Xiao's anxious voice reached Ye Feng's ears.
"Ling Xi, you're leaving?!"
Hearing this, Ye Feng jumped down from the tree and walked over to Ling Xi.
He wasn't entirely surprised by this development.
Ever since he saw Ling Xi recover her angelic power and display her angelic wings again, he had anticipated that Ling Xi might leave soon.
But even so, Ye Feng hadn't expected Ling Xi to leave so quickly...
"Mhm!~"
Ling Xi nodded slightly. "Since my angelic power has recovered, it's time for me to continue my mission!"
"Ye Feng, thank you for saving me from Cerberus."
"Ye Feng, Xiao Xiao, it was a pleasure meeting you!~ I had a very happy time with you both.~"
Ling Xi looked at Ye Feng and Xiao Xiao sincerely and said slowly.
Ye Feng and Xiao Xiao remained silent, both clearly saddened.
Especially Xiao Xiao, who looked reluctant, with tears welling up in her eyes.
"Then... then let's have a good meal together..."
Ye Feng hesitated to say the word "farewell" for a farewell meal.
Even though they had eaten together not long ago, he felt it was necessary to hold a more formal send-off banquet for Ling Xi.
After all, they didn't know when they would meet again, and perhaps they would never have the chance to meet again in this lifetime...
"Mhm, okay!~"
Ling Xi forced a smile and nodded.
It was evident that she was also quite sad.
Soon,
Ye Feng took out food and drinks. Unlike the various meat dishes he had served Bing in Desperation City,
This time, Ye Feng brought out more exquisite pastries, small and beautiful snacks, and of course, his only bottle of 1982 Lafite.
This bottle of 1982 Lafite was the only one he had managed to refresh from the [Shop] since arriving here!
Ye Feng had been reluctant to drink it!
"Ling Xi, have some of this wine.~"
"This drink is extremely precious in the world I used to live in; you couldn't buy it even with money!"
Ye Feng poured a glass for Ling Xi with a wine glass.
"Okay~"
Ling Xi took it and drank immediately.
"Cough~ Cough cough~...~"
As soon as Ling Xi took a sip, she coughed, and some of the bright red wine spilled from the corner of her mouth, making her lips look even more alluring.
"Are you alright? You have to savor this wine slowly; you can't drink it like water."
Ye Feng scratched his head and spoke to Ling Xi.
He was somewhat confused at the moment, wondering if Ling Xi had never drunk alcohol before.
"Is this red wine? It's my first time drinking it; it's a bit spicy."
"But it's mellow and smooth on the palate, with hints of floral and fruity aromas."
Ling Xi imitated Ye Feng, began to savor the 1982 Lafite slowly, and couldn't help but exclaim.
"Big brother, I want some too!"
Seeing Ye Feng and Ling Xi enjoying themselves, Xiao Xiao, who only had a bottle of coconut water in her hand, spoke up.
"Uh... Xiao Xiao... alright~"
Ye Feng initially wanted to say that drinking was not recommended for minors, but seeing Xiao Xiao's incredibly expectant eyes, he poured her a small half glass.
Xiao Xiao happily began to drink like Ye Feng, but as soon as it entered her mouth, the same scene as Ling Xi's a few minutes ago occurred.
"Cough cough cough~...~"
Xiao Xiao, who was choked, couldn't help but cough and kept spitting out her slightly spicy little tongue...
Afterward, the three of them ate various exquisite pastries and snacks while sipping the 1982 Lafite.
About half an hour later,
Due to the alcohol, both Ling Xi and Xiao Xiao's faces were flushed red.
"Little one, there's something I forgot to tell you!~"
"The Ouroboros symbol you saw in Desperation City is the mark of the Dark Holy Cult organization."
"That place, Desperation City, might have been a stronghold of the Dark Holy Cult."
"The Dark Holy Cult is an extremely dangerous organization; they are a group of madmen who will do anything for eternal life."
"The organization comprises people from all walks of life, a motley crew, and they are all genuine experts!"
"Be extremely careful if you encounter anyone or anything related to the Dark Holy Cult!"
Ling Xi earnestly warned Ye Feng.
"Oh, okay~!"
Ye Feng nodded seriously, firmly remembering the Dark Holy Cult and the Ouroboros.
"And one more thing, little one. If you want to become a true powerhouse, don't rely too much on weapons like guns and bombs."
"If you have time, you can study that Tang sword more."
"That Tang sword isolated all my senses; it's no ordinary item!"
Ling Xi paused and spoke again.
"Okay!~"
Ye Feng nodded again.
"Then, Ye Feng, Xiao Xiao, may we meet again!~"
As she said this, a pair of pure white wings suddenly unfurled behind Ling Xi. She flapped her wings and soared, instantly disappearing from Ye Feng and Xiao Xiao's sight.
