Chapter 642 - 240: Huo Wen’an Bound and Forced to Kneel and Apologize to Xu Xingguang (Part 2)

"In this peaceful era, always talking about fighting and killing, what’s the point? It’s so vulgar." Xu Xingguang disagreed as she admonished Ming Feng, then began to explain the situation in the Mortal World to him.

Ming Feng listened, his heart filled with shock and doubt.

"So, if you can’t find a way to counteract that mutated virus, millions of innocent children will turn into beasts?" Ming Feng ground his teeth, wishing he could tear that woman Qu Yanling apart.

"Yes." Xu Xingguang twisted the ring on her ring finger and said, "I need to gain real power in the Central Yu Alliance, find a way to gather all the top doctors of the Central Yu Alliance to work together to find a solution to counteract the mutation."

She looked at Ming Feng, her calm eyes carrying the inherent pressure of a superior.

In that instant, Ming Feng saw beyond the face of the young woman in front of him, glimpsing the divine might of Lin Piaopiao, the Marshal commanding thousands on the chaotic battlefield, bravely slaying enemies without equal.

Ming Feng straightened his body, his expression serious, "Mother, if you have any orders, just tell me, your son will surely get it done for you."

Xu Xingguang commanded him: "Find out who in the Divine Hidden Alliance can be trusted, and who cannot."

Ming Feng was a slick veteran, just a glance from Xu Xingguang and he could clearly grasp her thoughts. "You suspect that within our Divine Hidden Alliance, there are people eyeing the Mortal World, also under Qu Yanling’s influence?"

Xu Xingguang nodded.

Ming Feng deeply agreed with Xu Xingguang’s concerns, he added: "Although the Divine Hidden Alliance are descendants of the Ancient Xia Country, the current batch in charge have tasted the flavor of power, naturally their hearts have gone wild. They may verbally express gratitude for the benevolence of the Divine Hidden Emperor, but that doesn’t mean they are willing to become subjects of the Divine Hidden Emperor again."

"The human heart is difficult to gauge, mother’s thoughts are justified." Ming Feng assured Xu Xingguang: "Have no worry, mother, I will investigate this matter as soon as possible, just wait for my news."

"Hmm."

"By the way." Remembering something, Xu Xingguang asked Ming Feng, "Where did you get that diary written by Divine Hidden Crane?"

Ming Feng promptly explained the origin of the diary to Xu Xingguang.

"I haven’t yet found out the identity of the man holding the Monarch’s diary. However, finding someone in the Divine Martial Realm is not difficult, surely there will be results soon."

Ming Feng vowed confidently: "Once I find him, I’ll tie him up and bring him to you to apologize!"

Daring to parade around with the love diary the Monarch wrote for the Marshal, truly too wicked!

"Tie him up and bring him to me to apologize?" Xu Xingguang chuckled, seemingly amused by the prospect.

However...

"No need to investigate him, he’s fine."

Ming Feng assumed Xu Xingguang simply didn’t regard such a small figure, yet he wasn’t planning to let him off.

Ming Feng said, "I have to investigate! That diary is the Monarch’s most valued possession, never willing to let me look at it. If I remember correctly, the diary was left behind by the Monarch in the Mortal World. For someone to get hold of it and cross the barrier to the Divine Martial Realm, indeed suspicious..."

Xu Xingguang chuckled softly to herself.

She interrupted Ming Feng, asking him, "Xiao Hang, why don’t you use that pig brain of yours to think, in this world, who would have the privilege to parade around with that person’s diary? Who would have the privilege to effortlessly enter the Divine Martial Realm?"

Ming Feng quickly utilized his pig brain, pondering carefully.

Moments later, Ming Feng’s eyes suddenly widened. "Mother, are you saying..." Ming Feng dared not express his assumption aloud. He covered his mouth, tears pooling in his eyes once again.

Xu Xingguang twisted the Python Pattern Wedding Ring on her left hand, silent.

Ming Feng noticed Xu Xingguang’s subtle movement, looked down at her ring finger. He then saw the ring on that finger, the beast-shaped ring that increasingly resembled the Hidden Python.

Hidden Python!

That is the totem of Xia Country!

In the Mortal World, who would know of the Hidden Python’s existence and have the privilege to use the Hidden Python as a wedding ring, besides that one person, Ming Feng couldn’t think of anyone else.

Ming Feng felt deeply conflicted, he wanted to cry, wanted to shout, even wanted to leap up and cheer. But he was old now, his bones couldn’t stand jumping around, afraid of breaking them.

Ming Feng worked hard to stabilize his emotions, then choked out, "Mother, is your spouse him?"

Xu Xingguang: "Hmm."

Ming Feng’s anxious heart finally found peace. "Then when I see him later, should I start calling him father?"

"That’s based on whether he gives you the changing title red envelope."

Upon hearing this, Ming Feng grinned widely.

As the sun neared setting, the door of the VIP room remained tightly closed, Elder Tan Nan grew somewhat restless.
