Chapter 127: Chapter 121 Coastal City 2 Chapter 127: Chapter 121 Coastal City 2 Hiss…

A sudden breeze attacked Lin You’s chest.

Smack! Ah!

A scream followed, and a large hand quickly retracted into the darkness.

Lin You’s lips curled into a sly fox-like smile. Her right hand slowly withdrew the electric baton she was holding. It was her only weapon.

“Next time it won’t be so obvious!” a voice of a creepy uncle came from the darkness.

“Humph~~” Lin You bent her mouth corners with pride. Her eyes spun, revealing a cunning smile.

“He’ll definitely not be able to resist this.” She tilted her little hips up and gave them a gentle twist.

Indeed, just as she made that move, another breeze came from the darkness towards her back.

Smack!

“Aah!!” The uncle’s scream was deafening.

“Smack.” The lights instantly turned on.

“I’m not coming, I’m not coming!” Sals looked dejected, covering his hand and standing in a corner in the distance.

“Who told you to fall for the same trick time after time.” Lin You said with contempt.

“Eh…” Being looked down on by a little girl much smaller than himself was undoubtedly a severe blow to Sals.

“Sals, you’re still so useless.” A chilly female voice came from the doorway.

Both of their gazes shifted towards the door, where a black cat was squatting, elegantly licking its right paw.

“It’s you, Feil.” Sals became even more depressed.

“That’s how you trained me back then, and the result is the same as today.” The black cat walked gracefully towards Lin You and jumped onto her shoulder in one swift move.

“You’re back, huh? How come I haven’t seen you in the last few days?” It felt unusual for Lin You without Feil around.

“I went out for a bit,” Feil said slowly, “Sals, you received the message too, didn’t you?”

Sals put away his frivolous expression and nodded.

“Yes, are you planning to go?”

“Of course. People are really greedy. We’ve actually fallen to this extent.” Feil sighed. “Lin You, you’ll handle it this time as an initial assessment of the Xia Ninglian situation.”

“What’s going on? Be more specific.” Lin You was completely immune to these two, a person and a cat; no matter how much they spoke in riddles, they would end up telling her everything eventually.

“Go to Coastal City; there are two people there like us.” Feil spoke gravely.

“Like us?” Lin You was taken aback, “Have they also made contracts?”

The black cat nodded.

“Chris, Contractor of the Flame Staff. The one who merged with the Flame Staff is an old man on the brink of death. These two are the ones you’ll be going to rescue.”

Lin You hesitated.

“Chris… Me, go on a rescue? Can I do it?”

“You can!” Sals gave a thumbs-up, “Believe in yourself!”

Swordsmanship Club Special Sword Room

Lin Fei stood quietly in the darkness, holding a sword upright in both hands. Faint blue smoke continuously drifted from his body.

In the dark corner nearby, a small figure curled up, silently watching Lin Fei in the center.

Thump, thump, thump.

The Quiet Room door was suddenly knocked. The knocking was rhythmic, neither slow nor urgent.

Lin Fei’s blue smoke slowly retracted as he opened his eyes, a glint of light flashing through his pupils.

“Come in,” he knew that at this time, there would be only one person to interrupt his solitude.

The Quiet Room door opened.

The light from outside instantly flooded in. A woman with a curvaceous figure walked in—it was Chen Chen.

“It’s a call from the club president.” The president was Lu Jun. With Yan Fei orchestrating from behind the scenes, he was effectively the acting president, directly exercising the majority of powers. He only disturbed Lin Fei for significant matters.

After delivering the phone, Chen Chen left. Lately, it seemed that Lingling was having some family troubles and wasn’t showing up much. As a result, most affairs were handled by Chen Chen.

“Hey, what’s up, Uncle Lu?” As their relationship had grown closer, their form of address had naturally become much more intimate.

“There’s an issue with your sister; she bought a train ticket to Coastal City. It’s not very safe there lately,” Lu Jun said succinctly.

“Understood.”

“Additionally, we’ve identified the club member who leaked your information before.”

“Take care of it,” Lin Fei said casually. “Just make sure it’s kept confidential.”

“No problem.”

After hanging up the phone, he gently folded the Longsword.

“Coastal City?” Lin Fei murmured, his gaze turning to the figure in the corner.

As for the girl known as ‘Red Boots’, in reality, she was just a little girl with a two-faced monster. Lin Fei had a rough idea of her capabilities by now.

She could kill people by consuming their worlds and spirits through dreams, while the food she ate directly affected her physical body in reality. That is to say, a significant reason she had survived up to this point was by continuously eating people in dreams. Most of the Energy she acquired was used to maintain bodily functions and her power.

Recently, Lin Fei had rented an apartment especially for her, ensuring her daily needs were met. By now, she looked much better than when he first found her, at least she didn’t appear as dirty as before.

He called the girl with the ‘Red Boots’ Shuang’er, and she happily accepted this new name. Ever since the day he took her in, Shuang’er viewed Lin Fei as her sole reliance and belief. According to the caretakers, Shuang’er’s mental state would be notably poor when Lin Fei was absent. She only became lively when Lin Fei was around.

Approaching Shuang’er, Lin Fei crouched down and gently unwrapped the black cloth bound around her head.

With a snap, he flipped the light switch, and the entire Quiet Room instantly brightened.

After being cleaned, Shuang’er’s skin was fair and delicate, her features beautiful, and her hair was groomed into smooth twin ponytails that trailed down to her waist. If it weren’t for the ghastly face on the left side of her face, she would be just a perfectly adorable little girl. Perhaps nourished by the life essence contained in the Awakened’s dreams she consumed, Shuang’er blossomed like a rose growing from blood, flaunting a beauty born from others’ life essences.

“You’re really pretty, Shuang’er,” Lin Fei praised, ruffling her hair.

“Shuang’er is ugly and filthy. Please don’t touch me; you’ll dirty your hands,” the little girl timidly shrank back.

“Do you mean the other face on your face?” A Blue Flame reignited in Lin Fei’s hand, “It won’t be long before it disappears.”

“Really?” Shuang’er reached out to touch the ghastly face. It had already shrunk quite a bit, from the size of an egg to that of a walnut. Previously, touching it would result in getting a piece of flesh torn from the hand, but now the ghastly face was utterly powerless.

After enduring Lin Fei’s Blue Flame for several days, it had gradually lost most of its strength, the torn-off Energy being merged into Shuang’er’s body. Lin Fei’s intent was to have an obedient tool, not a minion burdened with two personalities that could bite back at any moment.

“Really.” Lin Fei gently pressed his hand ablaze with the Blue Flame against Shuang’er’s left face. The sound of burning fat echoed once more.

While burning the ghastly face, a stream of Energy continuously flowed into Shuang’er’s body, and a small part was encapsulated separately by Lin Fei and stored inside his own body. He intended to study this type of Energy more closely. The Blue Flame originating from the Divine Beast restrained this Energy significantly.

In nature, very few substances exist as pure Energy. Even abilities must rely on fine molecules as a material medium, and Potential Energy is essentially a form of gravity. When one becomes powerful to a certain extent, vast amounts of Life Energy or other forms of Energy, using matter as a medium, get stored within the body. This high-density Energy conglomerate can generate considerable gravitational forces, varying based on the Energy’s Attribute. It’s an inevitable law of nature.

What piqued Lin Fei’s interest was not the Energy completely subdued by his own power but its ability to influence people’s dreams. If he could unravel its secrets, the capacity to freely enter one’s own and others’ dreams could be a formidable skill.

Just imagine, if one could control dreams at will, how much time could be saved.

One-third of a person’s life is spent in sleep. If he could harness this one-third of time, Lin Fei would be starting at a much higher level compared to others. It could be of immense help, whether in studying or in analytical research.

But now was not the time to consider these things.

In Coastal City, Lin Fei didn’t plan to let this opportunity with Lin You pass by. Perhaps he could fully uncover Lin You’s real intentions. Why had people from there directly attacked his family in his past life? Given the current situation, this likely would have needed the silent consent of multiple organizations.

Understanding his real enemies was Lin Fei’s primary reason for focusing so much on Lin You. Even now, he only knew that the Holy See seemed to have hostile intentions. The Energy Scepter appeared to be a hot potato for other organizations, which was a curious logic.
