Chapter 35 - Could It Be?

"Mèimei, absorb the vital Qi. It is extremely beneficial." Feng Hui caringly guided his little sister. From now on, he would ensure that his little sister could reach her full potential. Under his direct wing, there was no doubt she would become an excellent cultivator.

Upon returning to the Dragon Continent to reunite with his Secret Legion, Feng Hui would ensure that both his little sister and mother would receive the best cultivation resources.

"Okay, Dàgē!" Feng Mei obediently followed the instructions of her elder brother. Closing her almond eyes, she began absorbing the vital Qi left by the monsters in the atmosphere. Allowing it to nourish her body, a healthy blush appeared on her little face.

"Good." Feng Hui calmly watched his little sister absorb the beneficial vital Qi. While smiling, he thought, "I should close the portals within Starryfu. I don't wish for my hometown to be completely ruined."

Under the morning light, a beautiful golden glint suddenly appeared in Feng Hui's pitch-black eyes.

"It's time for this madness to end." Feng Hui stated. Along with his words, the group gawked at him speechlessly.

Extending his vast spiritual sense to cover the entirety of Shanghai, Feng Hui noted countless portals. In the sky, there were thousands of portals of various colors residing within the cascade of black clouds.

With a thought, Feng Hui started controlling the laws of the world. Around the restaurant, there were tens of portals, but it did not contain monsters.

Swiftly, hundreds of portals began ceasing to exist. In the sky, even the more dangerous-looking portals vanished into thin air. Feng Hui continued to disintegrate every portal he could detect.

Soon, even the darkness of the clouds completely cleared. Eventually, the old foggy sky of Shanghai returned. Looking upwards, Feng Hui admired the calm sky. By closing the portals without delay, he had saved the future of thousands of lives in the blink of an eye.

The movements of Feng Hui did not cause a single fluctuation. Instead, it was resolved silently. Back in Tian Changming's homeworld, the invaders were clueless about the unusual activities occurring.

While Feng Hui was erasing every portal he could perceive, his eyes suddenly widened in disbelief. In his vast spiritual sense, he detected an extremely familiar soul residing within Starryfu—the modernized district.

Within a luxurious villa topped with state-of-the-art security, there was a wealthy family of four. Guarding the perimeter of the villa, there were hundreds of camouflaged soldiers with rifles.

Even in another world, Feng Hui could never forget this familiar pure soul. Except, there seemed to be a slight difference…

No matter what, Feng Hui could not let this discovery go unchecked. There was good reason… he owed this person far too much. Having returned to Earth to reunite with his family, he now firmly acknowledged this fact.

For all the sacrifices Zhi Ruo had made for him… this amount of time was the least he could do. Feng Hui was no longer exclusively the unfeeling Secret Legion master; instead, seeing his family once more made him human again.

With a fierce beating heart, Feng Hui softly said to the group, "I have something to do. I'll be back within a few hours. Brother Sun, please protect my little sister."

The statement was out of the blue, and Sun Yi lifted his brow, but he still respectfully complied.

"Dàgē?" Feng Mei was stunned. Dàgē had just returned to her side, and he was going to leave again?

"Mèimei, it's extremely important. You'll be fine." Feng Hui smiled. Truth be told, the trio could survive fine on their own; the high school students did not require Sun Yi's protection.

However, in Feng Hui's mind, he would always think of his little sister as a child subconsciously. It was a built-in lifelong habit! Nonetheless, even once the two of them became a pair of old fogeys, Feng Mei would still be his little sister. Even ten-thousand years later, this fact would never change.

"I'll be back soon. You can trust me." Hugging his little sister, Feng Hui promised. Within a few hours, he would definitely return. As soon as possible, there was no doubt.

On the off chance his little sister did fall into trouble, Feng Hui could return to her side in seconds.

Opening an infinitely dark portal, Feng Hui stepped inside with a mind filled with disbelief.

* * *

Starryfu.

In a split second, Feng Hui instantly traveled over a hundred kilometers from Pudong to Starryfu.

Portals were one-way passages.

To open a portal, the minimum requirement was to be a Nascent Soul cultivator.

Emerging on the other side, Feng Hui observed the grand-looking villa. Upon exiting, he noticed hundreds of soldiers pointing their state-of-the-art modern rifles at him.

Seeing the sudden emergence of a black portal, the soldiers were alarmed. Generating a massive racket, the soldiers roared, "Who are you?! Speak!"

Their natural instinct made it so that the soldiers did not dare to shoot. This black-robed man had an extremely otherworldly aura. It was similar to the feeling one would have upon meeting a deity.

The natural human response was to instead kneel and worship. However, this could never be done due to the current ominous situation! As government soldiers, all of them wished to serve the nation to the best of their abilities.

Looking around, Feng Hui noticed the enormous solid metal gates securing the luxurious villa. With some curiosity, he thought, "Is this the villa of some sort of top government figure?"

Nevertheless, this didn't matter to Feng Hui. The sole thing he wanted to find out was whether this soul belonged to his childhood sweetheart.

With a smile, Feng Hui calmly stated, "Greetings, soldiers. I'm Feng Hui. I wish for an audience with a certain figure inside."

By this stage, Feng Hui bore absolutely no resemblance to his former adolescent self. The black-robed man emitted a mature, cold aura. Alongside his graceful bearing, no one would associate him with an eighteen-year-old.

"No f*cking way! Get out now! Or we'll start firing!" This unpleasant, deep voice belonged to a middle-aged man in a desert-sand soldier uniform. With an almost bald head, he exhibited a domineering aura. Furthermore, from the badges on his uniform, he was a top general!

Feng Hui didn't mind the disrespect. Truthfully, he also knew that his entrance was bizarre; it would definitely be unwelcomed by these soldiers protecting some sort of important figure.

Instead, if Feng Hui was easily allowed entrance by the soldiers, he would become even more confused.

Shrugging, Feng Hui continued speaking, "I truly do mean no harm. Instead… I want to help."

Allowing his gentle voice filled with the laws of the world to reverberate, Feng Hui still had an elegant smile. If he willed it so, lifeforms who weren't cultivators could never disobey him.

Hearing this celestial voice filled with compassion, the soldiers all wanted to kneel. For some reason, something in their minds urged them to trust this black-robed man. It was an inexplicable feeling!

"Very well..." That very same bald middle-aged man complied with a pair of puzzled eyes. As if he was the loyal follower of some religious cult, he dutifully climbed down the wall, and he then entered the luxurious villa to inform the wealthy family of four.

"Thank you." Smiling, Feng Hui thanked the bald middle-aged man. Along with this smile, all the soldiers subconsciously felt affectionate toward the black-robed man. A vast majority of the male soldiers even questioned their sexuality.

This was not their fault. Feng Hui's entire being was encompassed with the laws of the world. It was similar to the feeling one would have upon seeing their roots and hometown. A wave of nostalgia would flood their minds. By the will of nature, the soldiers trusted this unknown black-robed man!

Moments later, the bald middle-aged man returned with a surprising answer. With a respectful voice, he declared, "Allowed entrance! Make way!"

Soon, everyone was surprised by this ludicrous outcome. As if waking up from some spell, the soldiers questioned their sanity. Watching the black-robed man serenely enter the opened-up gates, the soldiers were in complete disbelief.

"What the hell just happened?"
