740: Chapter 740: Silent Companionship is the Deepest Affection 740: Chapter 740: Silent Companionship is the Deepest Affection Ye Chenfeng looked at Phoenix and smiled, “Phoenix, I’ve noticed that your Divine Land language has been improving a lot, but you seem to be straying further from the path.”
“When no one’s around, please call me by my Divine Land name, Jiang Yunyan.
I’ve told you so many times,” Phoenix pouted somewhat angrily.
“Alright, alright, Miss Jiang Yunyan,” Ye Chenfeng nodded somewhat speechlessly.
Suddenly, Phoenix looked at Ye Chenfeng, her eyes becoming misty.
She slightly parted her red lips, “Chenfeng brother, if one day I am in such danger, will you also risk your life to rescue me?”
After speaking, Phoenix stared unblinkingly at Ye Chenfeng, even stopping her action of applying medicine, quietly waiting for Ye Chenfeng’s response.
Yet, after a long wait, Ye Chenfeng didn’t respond.
Getting anxious, Phoenix couldn’t help but ask, “Say it, will you come to rescue me like that?”
“Will… I suppose?” Ye Chenfeng counter-asked, leaving Phoenix speechless.
“What do you mean, ‘I suppose’?
You need to remember that I am asking you, not the other way around,” Phoenix was somewhat angry about Ye Chenfeng’s casual response.
Thinking for a moment, Ye Chenfeng said, “My Miss Jiang Yunyan, you are so powerful, who could possibly capture you?
There’s hardly a chance anyone could even touch you.”
“I’m talking about if there actually comes a day!” Phoenix was getting flustered.
“How could that even happen?
Who would dare to capture you?
Who has the power to capture you?” Ye Chenfeng said.
Phoenix was thoroughly angry now, “Fine, apply the medicine yourself.
I’m leaving.”
“Why are you still angry?
Okay, okay, I’ll tell you, if you ever are in danger, I, Ye Chenfeng, will risk my life to save you!”
Having no choice, Ye Chenfeng had to say this.
The previously angry Phoenix suddenly changed her expression, donning a brilliant smile.
Her eyes filled with a tender gaze, she placed her nearly transparent jade-like finger on Ye Chenfeng’s lips, “Don’t talk about risking your life, with your strength, you could easily rescue me from any trouble.
Besides, who could capture me anyway?”
Ye Chenfeng: “…”.
Black lines filled his forehead; he had just said that himself.
Women truly are strange creatures; just because of what Ye Chenfeng said, Phoenix seemed as happy as if the whole world had brightened.
“Alright, I’ve finished applying the medicine, you rest well and just wait quietly.
Miss Chu Qingfei will be alright,” Phoenix gave Ye Chenfeng a kiss on the forehead and then left with a smile.
Watching Phoenix leave, Ye Chenfeng suddenly felt melancholic.
He felt like he owed Phoenix a great deal.
Since Phoenix had joined the Dragon Knight Forbidden Army, she had taken on the role of housekeeper, managing a lot of things for Ye Chenfeng.
This woman had given a lot, even risking her own life.
Now that he was down and out, literally having nothing, Phoenix still silently stayed by his side.
Ye Chenfeng was moved; each of Phoenix’s teases, although mostly joking, was sincere, and Ye Chenfeng could feel it.
Ye Chenfeng felt lucky to have encountered a woman like Phoenix.
“Your clothes are torn, change them.”
Not a single piece of Ye Chenfeng’s clothing was intact.
He opened the suitcase that Chu Qingxue had arranged for him when he came.
Inside, there were two sets of clothes, including undergarments.
Ye Chenfeng was surprised to find that the size of the underwear was just right.
How did Chu Qingxue know his underwear size?
Had she secretly measured him?
Ye Chenfeng was utterly bewildered.
But then, Ye Chenfeng’s gaze fell on a file folder quietly lying in the suitcase.
“What’s this?”
Ye Chenfeng was shocked when he opened the package because it contained materials for the Nano Warhead, a complete version, with written instructions and a portable hard drive.
It turned out that Chu Qingxue had packed the materials in her own suitcase without even knowing it herself.
All along, Ye Chenfeng had thought that Chu Qingxue would regard such materials as more important than her own life, and he had told her there was no need to bring them.
He was sure she wouldn’t give them to him.
Now it seemed that she felt extremely guilty toward Chu Qingfei, willing to exchange her deeply researched results for Chu Qingfei’s life.
“Don’t worry, I will definitely bring Qingfei back,” Ye Chenfeng clenched his fists.
Ye Chenfeng didn’t sleep that night; instead, he kept recuperating, almost back to normal by the next day.
When he woke up and came to my room, which housed the Heavenly Eye, he heard the crackling sounds inside.
Clearly, the Heavenly Eye was still struggling; it had been struggling the whole night.
After all, it was searching across the entirety of Tokyo, and the area was enormous, so the difficulty was significant.
This little guy had not rested for two consecutive nights since arriving in Tokyo.
Ye Chenfeng felt moved, and even more, he felt sympathy.
At first, in his heart, the Heavenly Eye was just a child; even though he had forced it to join the Dragon Knight Forbidden Army, he didn’t really see it as a member at the core.
But by now, Ye Chenfeng had come to regard the Heavenly Eye as a good brother of his own.
Although there was a big age difference, people still made friends with those much older or younger; what Ye Chenfeng and the Heavenly Eye had truly wasn’t anything out of the ordinary by comparison.
“What are you doing up so early?
Are your injuries healed?” the voice of Phoenix sounded behind Ye Chenfeng.
Ye Chenfeng nodded.
“I’m fine now, just waiting for the results from Heavenly Eye.”
Time passed by the second; several people were quietly waiting.
Even Ye Chenfeng’s palms were sweating profusely, his greatest fear now being the ring of his phone.
That would mean Heavenly Eye’s efforts had been in vain, and he would have to completely dive into a passive position.
“Don’t worry.
I really trust my little brother; he certainly won’t disappoint us.
With one skilled in letters and one in martial arts, together our combined forces are invincible, sweeping all before us.”
Shi Buddha was also unique.
Although he was clearly comforting others, he ended up praising himself.
The crowd: “…” .
“Bang!”
Just as Ye Chenfeng was getting restless, the door to Heavenly Eye’s room suddenly opened.
“It’s done!”
The people immediately sprang up from the sofa like springs.
Only to see Heavenly Eye walk out of the room looking utterly drained, still holding a bottle of functional vitamin drink in his hand.
Everyone stared at Heavenly Eye, not daring to speak.
After taking a sip of the drink, a smile appeared on Heavenly Eye’s lips, “I finally did it.”
“Is that so?”
The several important figures were about to jump with excitement.
“Come with me!” Heavenly Eye said, then dashed back into his room.
The people immediately followed him in.
There were four computers and some other operating equipment in Heavenly Eye’s room.
