Ma Hongjun's face was still a bit pale at this moment, his gaze fixed on Ye Lingling.
"Big sister, thank you so much for saving me."
"If you hadn't intervened today, I really don't know what would have happened to me."
He walked with difficulty to her, his voice still tinged with weakness.
"Yes, young lady, you are truly our Little Hong's great benefactor!"
The villagers surrounded them, echoing their agreement.
"Everyone, don't thank me just yet. His illness is caused by the characteristics of his Spirit."
"Although it's temporarily suppressed this time, I can feel that it will most likely recur in the future, and each time might be more severe than the last."
Ye Lingling's expression was solemn as she gently shook her head and spoke.
No sooner had she finished speaking than her words were like a giant rock thrown into a calm lake, instantly sinking everyone's Spirits to rock bottom.
The villagers exchanged glances, their eyes filled with worry, and the village chief's brows furrowed into a 'river' character.
"Sir, you clearly are a person of great ability."
"Our small place really can't cure Little Hong's illness. If he falls ill again in the future, what will we do?"
"Please, have mercy and take Little Hong with you. Following you, he might still have a glimmer of hope."
The village chief pondered for a moment, then suddenly knelt before Ye Lingling with a 'thud', clasping his hands together and pleading.
Ye Lingling's eyes instantly flustered at this kneel, and she looked towards Lin Feng for help.
Behind him, Lin Feng's face was as calm as a still lake, but in reality, he was sighing inwardly at the scene before him.
When he saw Ma Hongjun, he had already planned to take him in, but he hadn't even opened his mouth, and the other party was already begging to follow him.
No wonder the Child of Destiny has such a large following.
Of course.
This also had to do with Ma Hongjun's Child of Destiny tag, which would subconsciously draw him closer to Lin Feng.
Looking at the village chief's pleading eyes, and then at Ma Hongjun, who was full of anticipation.
"Alright, let him follow us."
Lin Feng nodded slightly, agreeing.
"Thank you, benefactor!"
"Thank you, benefactor!"
Upon hearing this, everyone was overjoyed. The village chief was so excited that old tears streamed down his face, and he kept kowtowing in gratitude.
That night, Lin Feng assigned rooms to Liu Erlong, Xiao Wu, and the others, then walked into his own room with Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling.
Recently, he had either been busy at school or traveling on the road, and it had been a long time since he had rested with the two girls.
All three were very excited.
The night passed without a word, but the sounds were loud.
The next morning.
Sunlight spilled into the village, blanketing the earth in a golden glow.
"Little Hong, you must be obedient when you're with them, and don't cause trouble, understand?"
"Don't worry about home. Take care of yourself when you're out."
The villagers and relatives who came to see him off looked at Ma Hongjun's tender face and instructed him one by one.
"Mhm, mhm, I understand!"
Ma Hongjun waved goodbye to his relatives, his eyes filled with reluctance.
"Alright, it's time to go."
Lin Feng said at this moment.
"Mhm, mhm, hurry up, don't make them anxious waiting."
The village chief instructed Ma Hongjun.
Subsequently, Ma Hongjun followed Lin Feng and his group on the road to Soto City.
As they got closer to Soto City, the number of pedestrians on the road gradually increased, and the number of carriages also became denser.
A few hours later, looking into the distance, the tall city walls of Soto City appeared before everyone like a giant dragon lying across the land.
Banners fluttered on the city walls, rustling in the breeze.
At the city gate, people came and went, bustling with activity. Various hawking sounds and laughter intertwined, forming a noisy yet vibrant scene.
"Wow, it's so lively!"
"Although this can't compare to the prosperity of Heaven Dou City, the atmosphere of the market is so strong."
Several people exclaimed in admiration.
Lin Feng and his group slowly entered the city with the flow of people.
Lin Feng walked, observing the surrounding buildings and pedestrians, thinking to himself.
He wondered if that guy Flender's general store had opened yet.
"Lingling, there are some pretty jewelry stores over there, let's go take a look."
Dugu Yan pointed to a row of jewelry stores with golden signs in front, speaking excitedly.
"Alright."
Ye Lingling nodded in agreement.
"Lin Feng, Lin Feng, you come too."
"Don't just stand there looking, what's so good about buildings?"
Just as he was thinking, Dugu Yan suddenly tried to pull Lin Feng over.
How could they go shopping for jewelry without a man accompanying them?
Xiao Wu and Ye Lingling, who were behind, also pushed Lin Feng and the others into a shop.
Just as Dugu Yan and the others were choosing jewelry, Lin Feng's gaze was drawn to a rather luxuriously decorated hotel on the street behind him.
At the entrance of the hotel, there hung a huge rose-shaped signboard, shimmering in the sunlight.
Lin Feng looked at this familiar signboard with a hint of surprise in his heart.
This must be the Rose Hotel, right?
In the original work, Tang San and Dai Mubai met here.
Just then, a pot-bellied old man walked out of the hotel entrance.
He had a pair of charming twin girls in his arms, one on each side.
Lin Feng's heart stirred, and his expression showed a hint of surprise.
Could these be the twins Dai Mubai had played with before?
They're already in business here so early?
"System, tag scan."
As Lin Feng silently recited in his mind, the information of the two was clearly displayed on the panel.
Lin Feng looked at them curiously, only to see two special tags on them, confirming his guess.
[Witness of Famous Scene (White): You are widely known for appearing in key plot points, but it's useless for your own life.]
[Imperial Disaster (Gray): You will be eliminated by the Star Luo Imperial family's power more than a decade later, with the crime of defiling the White Tiger Douluo.]
It really was this pair of beautiful twins.
Lin Feng saw these tags and was already certain in his heart.
However, meeting Dai Mubai was a misfortune for them.
This so-called 'Witness of Famous Scene' did not bring them any substantial benefits.
Instead, this 'Imperial Disaster' tag meant they would face a fatal disaster more than a decade later.
It was regrettable.
Although Dai Mubai was a scumbag, he shouldn't be capable of such a thing.
It was probably some people from the Imperial family who proactively cleared Dai Mubai's reputation.
Lin Feng withdrew his gaze and continued to accompany the others in choosing jewelry.
"Lin Feng, do you think this rabbit looks good on my head?"
Xiao Wu, standing beside him, held a pink rabbit-shaped hairpin and asked Lin Feng playfully.
"Looks good, looks good."
"And honestly, it really suits you."
For a moment, Lin Feng was also attracted by Xiao Wu's cute appearance and praised her repeatedly.
"Lin Feng, does this one look good on me?"
Dugu Yan, who was beside him, seemed a little jealous. She casually picked up a hat, put it on her head, and asked Lin Feng.
"Hmm, Yan'er, I actually think that purple hat next to it suits you better. Why don't you try it on?"
Just as Lin Feng was about to step forward to personally put the hat on Dugu Yan.
"Hmph! I'm not shopping anymore, let's go, let's go."
"Xiao Wu, Lingling, let's go find an inn first."
Dugu Yan suddenly said angrily.
"No, what's wrong with you?"
Lin Feng stood there dumbfounded, somewhat at a loss.
"Sister Yan'er, slow down."
Ye Lingling and Xiao Wu, who were beside them, seemed to have understood why Dugu Yan was angry and quickly stepped forward to persuade her.
Liu Erlong, who was following behind, wore an expression of watching a show and smiled at Lin Feng.
"Erlong, you go shopping with me first. There's a shop I think you'll be interested in later."
Lin Feng said to Liu Erlong, who was walking at the back of the group.
"Oh? What kind of shop is it?"
"You'll know when we get there."
Liu Erlong's interest was immediately piqued upon hearing this.
The shop that the Young Master said would interest her, she must go and see it properly.
Subsequently, the group split up at the entrance of the jewelry store. Yu Kuang took Ma Hongjun and the others to rest at the inn first.
Lin Feng and Liu Erlong, on the other hand, walked in the opposite direction.
They hadn't walked far when Lin Feng saw a slightly old shop on the street, with the words "Flender's General Store" written on the signboard.
Lin Feng's heart filled with joy, and he stepped inside.
Liu Erlong had already guessed the owner of the shop when she saw the signboard. Her delicate body trembled slightly, and her heart began to stir with excitement.
