"Let me take a look first!"
said the Empress of Starlight, and then she issued a scanning command to her controlled spacecraft.
This time was very quick, within just ten minutes, she looked up at Ling Feng and said, "What you saw is nothing but an illusion, that’s not the real magic entity!"
"What?"
Ling Feng’s eyes widened in surprise.
"Let me help you locate the magic entity again."
The Empress of Starlight didn’t say much, issuing another command to her spacecraft.
By this time, Ling Feng was a bit stunned, unable to believe that the magic entity had a decoy to deceive him!
It was truly cunning!
Ling Feng was filled with anger, wishing the Empress could immediately tell him where the magic entity was, so he could confront it at once!
But unexpectedly, after a moment, the Empress of Starlight seemed a bit puzzled!
Then she said to Ling Feng, "It’s very strange, not a trace of it can be found globally!"
"How could this be?"
Ling Feng paused and asked in confusion.
"There are three possibilities: either it has left Earth, or it used something to shield its devilish qi, or it has methods beyond my knowledge to conceal itself." The Empress of Starlight said.
Ling Feng listened with his brows knitted, contemplating before saying, "Based on my sense, the second possibility is the most likely."
"Yes, if it had left, there would be no need to place a fake in the trench’s depths to attract your attention." The Empress nodded in agreement.
"Exactly, that’s what I think!"
Ling Feng nodded and then squinted his eyes, "It seems my next task is to track it down, everything else can be set aside for now!"
"Alright, I’ll help you find a way to repair the Chaos Sword." The Empress of Starlight offered.
"Then, thank you very much. Let’s go back first." Ling Feng suggested.
"Hmm."
The Empress nodded, then said, "After returning, I might need to impose on you for some time, temporarily not going back to the Starlight Empire."
"Oh?"
Ling Feng was a bit surprised, "The Queen wants to enjoy the scenery of our Earth?"
"No, I have other methods to search for the magic entity, but it will take some time." The Empress explained.
"I see; in that case, it’s no problem at all!"
As she was helping him, Ling Feng had no reason to refuse and promptly nodded.
Then the spacecraft returned, and after arriving at Lingyun Island, he led her to his residence.
Logically, someone of the Empress’s status should be received with more grandeur, but Ling Feng felt she wasn’t the type to want such pomp, and considering cultural differences, there wasn’t much need for elaborate arrangements.
Moreover, hosting her at his home was already quite a good gesture.
Returning to his residence, Ling Feng waited for the Empress to sit down and quickly said, "Please have a seat, Queen. I’ll go get some fruit."
"No need, just tea will do, I’m not interested in food and such." The Empress replied.
"Oh, alright then."
Ling Feng had to give up upon hearing this.
But the two facing each other without a word wasn’t ideal, so he cleared his throat and smiled, "Queen, regarding the Chaos Sword..."
The Empress of Starlight took a sip of tea, "What’s the matter?"
"It requires a massive amount of energy to repair it; can this be solved?" Ling Feng asked.
"No matter how high the energy level is, there will always be a way to control it. Don’t worry, a solution will be found." The Empress assured.
"Alright then."
Ling Feng nodded.
Suddenly he realized he was at a loss for words.
After a moment of silence, Ling Feng asked, "Otherwise, how about I invite a few girls to come over and chat with you?"
"Why? Do you feel awkward facing me?"
The Empress was direct, looking at him as she asked.
Ling Feng gave a wry smile and quickly shook his head, "Not really, it’s just that I suddenly don’t know what to say, can’t find a topic."
"Then tell me your story instead."
The Empress looked at him, "For someone your age to achieve such accomplishments, that’s quite rare even in our Starlight Empire, I’m a bit curious."
"Oh, alright then."
Ling Feng nodded slightly upon hearing this.
Then, starting with acquiring the Classic of the Divine Farmer, he narrated the events that transpired step by step afterwards.
At certain points, the Empress would interrupt him, asking about specific details, and so the two took turns speaking, their conversation naturally flowing.
In the blink of an eye, two hours had passed, and it was now the dead of night.
Ling Feng had finished recounting his life’s experiences.
The Empress of Starlight, after listening, nodded and said, "Your story is indeed quite fascinating."
"Really?"
Ling Feng chuckled, not thinking much of it.
But the Empress was very serious, nodding as she said, "Certainly, it all seems like a coincidence, but actually there’s an unseen kind of predetermined fate, your growth is not accidental."
Ling Feng didn’t quite grasp her meaning, and asked her, "Do you mean my growth was arranged?"
"Yes, it’s possible!" The Empress stated.
"..."
Ling Feng was somewhat baffled, feeling her words were unreliable.
Who could have such great power to arrange for him to be here today?
Could all the events that happened be pre-arranged?
Even immortals couldn’t do that, right?
While he was speechless, the Empress didn’t want to continue the topic, so she changed the subject, "It’s late, are you going to rest?"
"No need, with my constitution, I can go days and nights without sleep, I suppose it’s the same for you, Queen?" Ling Feng asked.
However, the Empress shook her head, "No, I must rest, otherwise my brain can’t recover!"
"Is that so?"
Ling Feng responded, quickly saying, "Then let me take you upstairs to rest, that’s my bedroom, I hope you don’t mind."
"I don’t, let’s go."
The Empress stood up.
Ling Feng led the way, the two of them going upstairs one after the other.
Looking at the upstairs decor and arrangement, the Empress was curious, but said nothing.
Ling Feng quickly changed the bed linens to new ones, then turned and said, "Queen, please rest early, I won’t disturb you."
As soon as she saw him, the Empress asked, "You’re leaving?"
"Ah, yes."
Ling Feng was a bit baffled, looking at her blankly, wondering why wouldn’t he leave? Was he going to keep her company here?
The Empress looked at Ling Feng, "I’ve already arrived at your place, and you’re going to leave me here alone?"
"Uh..."
Ling Feng was at a loss for words.
He couldn’t understand what the Queen meant, mainly what was the point of staying here?
