Chapter 457: Going Out to Sea

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

In the wee hours of the morning, Ling Yun drove back to the Luxurious Hot Springs Manor.

Ling Yun had given Lin Menghan advanced notice not to wait up for him and to rest as early as possible.

Lin Menghan was now at Houtian Realm Level Nine. She got up early nowadays since a few hours of meditation would be able to make up for eight hours of sleep.

Lin Menghan heard the sound of the engine before Ling Yun’s car entered into the gate. She rushed down happily to welcome him.

“Hubby, you’re back?”

Ling Yun didn’t drive the Land Rover into the house. Instead, he parked outside the gate and walked into the courtyard.

“Such good spirits. You seem well rested!” Ling Yun happily wrapped his big hands around Lin Menghan’s waist.

“Says who? I was so tired after being tortured by you yesterday that I overslept until two in the afternoon…” Lin Menghan protested.

Lin Menghan would definitely not be able to handle Ling Yun’s fierce attacks if she weren’t already at Houtian Realm Level Nine.

“Let’s go in. Switch the computer on, I need to do some research.”

They headed to the bedroom on the second floor. Lin Menghan switched on the LCD monitor and gave Ling Yun a strange look. “Hubby, what are you researching?

“I need information on the weather in the East Sea for the following week and some information on Turtle Island. Help me,” Ling Yun said with a smile.

As the saying goes, a beard lathered is half shaved. Turtle Island had been a point of contention. Ling Yun had to know as much as he could to prepare himself for anything that might happen.

Lin Menghan sat on Ling Yun’s thigh and started the search. “Hubby, when did you start concerning yourself with national events?”

“I’m not bothered about national events. I’m going out to sea today!” Ling Yun said while running his hands all over Lin Menghan’s hot body.

“Out to sea!” Lin Menghan’s face changed. “Hubby, you wouldn’t be going to Turtle Island, would you?”

Ling Yun nodded in acknowledgment. A wide-eyed Lin Menghan turned to Ling Yun while hugging his neck. “Hubby, Huaxia has been having constant friction with the j.a.panese for Turtle Island. Tensions are high, why do you want to go there?”

“I’m going to cultivate. There is a certain martial art that can only be cultivated there.” Ling Yun smiled.

A trace of suspicion was present in Lin Menghan’s eyes. “What martial art would need you to go to Turtle Island to cultivate? You’re going there to womanize, right?”

“My dear G.o.ddess, you don’t understand, there are some special martial arts that must be cultivated in certain places! For example, the Arctic Ice Technique that I’ve imparted to you. If you want to master it, you will have to go to the coldest place on earth. If not, everything would be for naught!”

“What! The coldest place on earth? Wouldn’t that be…” Two places appeared in Lin Menghan’s mind immediately.

“That’s right, the North and South Poles.” Ling Yun confirmed her suspicion.

“I’m not going! That is too cold! I’ll freeze to death!” Lin Menghan shook her head violently in protest.

“That’s what you say now, but you might be begging me to bring you there next time! Don’t worry, you won’t feel any different at sub-zero temperatures once you breach a certain level of the Arctic Ice Technique.” Ling Yun grinned.

“The lower the ambient temperature, the faster your cultivation. The North and South Poles are the best places to cultivate the Arctic Ice Technique.”

Lin Menghan accepted it. She knew that Ling Yun wasn’t lying to her. The average temperature in Qingshui City was hovering around thirty degrees, and she did feel irritated cultivating under such circ.u.mstances.

“Hubby, you have to accompany me there…” Lin Menghan requested sweetly.

“Of course.” Ling Yun nodded without a trace of hesitation.

Ling Yun would explore the Poles sooner or later anyway. These places were generally the home of rare treasures. There could be Millennium Ice, Thousand Year Ice Jade, and the like, waiting for him there.

“Hubby, there are turbulent waves around Turtle Island, and the weather isn’t ideal…”

Lin Menghan couldn’t help but be worried when she found huge winds and four-meter-high waves waiting for Ling Yun at Turtle Island.

“I know, don’t worry, just get some information on Turtle Island,” Ling Yun said calmly.

Ling Yun enjoyed the view from the top of waves that were a few hundred meters high in the Cultivation World. Waves of a few meters were like a kiddy swimming pool to him.

An hour pa.s.sed, and Ling Yun managed to gain a more comprehensive understanding of Turtle Island. They got dressed when they were done and went out for breakfast.

“Hubby, why don’t I accompany you to Turtle Island? I don’t have anything to do anyway,” Lin Menghan said during breakfast.

That met with immediate rejection. Lin Menghan might have attained Houtian Realm Level Nine, but she didn’t have any skills yet. Bringing her there would be nothing but a burden.

After breakfast, they went back to the villa. Ling Yun gave her Tang Meng, Tie Xiaohu, and Ning Lingyu’s phone numbers and instructed her to call them if there was anything she couldn’t handle.

The daily stuff could be handled by Tang Meng and Tie Xiaohu. Ling Yun gave her Ning Lingyu’s number so that she could reach Qin Dongxue in case someone highly skilled came to find trouble with her.

Zhuang Meifeng was kidnapped by a priestess of the Tranquil Sect, and both Xiao Meimei and Cao Shanshan were still missing. Ling Yun didn’t want anything else to happen to Lin Menghan and the rest.

“Alright, I need to make a trip back home. You stay here obediently and cultivate. Remember, you must neither be arrogant nor impatient lest you go berserk.”

Ling Yun drove back to Qingshui Wharf.

Ling Yun told Qin Dongxue and Ning Lingyu that he would be leaving for Wenzhou that afternoon when he reached home.

“I’m sailing out from Wenzhou. Tang Meng got me a speedboat,” Ling Yun said with a twinkle in his eye.

Ning Lingyu was reluctant to let him go. She constantly reminded him to be mindful of his safety, her eyes filled with tears.

“Lingyu, don’t worry, Big Brother promises you that I will return to you safely!”

Ling Yun handed a dozen of each of the Fire Talismans, Healing Talismans, Gold Talismans, and Defensive Talismans to Qin Dongxue. He gave her a thorough rundown and personally demonstrated how they worked.

“Where did you get all these, rascal?” Qin Dongxue asked with surprise, as these were outside of her knowledge.

“Aunty, I made these myself. There are other kinds of talisman charms, but you won’t be needing them. Wait for me to come home,” Ling Yun said with a grin before leaving for Mansion Number One.

Ling Yun waited for Tang Meng at Mansion Number One with Little White on his lap. He started making a series of phone calls.

Yao Rou, Kong Xiuru, Zhang Ling… He told them that he would be leaving Qingshui City for two days and asked them not to worry.

Ling Yun told almost everyone he knew and cared about that he was leaving for two days, unlike the trip down the crater. He had thoroughly learned his lesson.

However, Ling Yun was more at ease this time. Qin Dongxue would hold the fortress at Qingshui Wharf. There were two highly skilled martial artists in Qingshui City — Miracle Doctor Xue and Dugu Mo. Li Yifeng and Tang Tianhao were at the height of their authority. He even gained the support of Green Dragon. Anyone who wanted to find trouble with Ling Yun had to think twice.

Tang Meng and Tie Xiaohu came. Long Wu came unexpectedly as well.

“Why are you here?” Ling Yun was slightly irked. He didn’t call Long Wu.

“I heard that you are going out to sea, so I’m here to see you off…” Long Wu replied softly.

Ling Yun glared at Tie Xiaohu, who was bowing his head in fear and red in the face. He didn’t dare to look up.

“Big Brother Yun, I’ve prepared all your necessities in my car. When shall we set off?” Tang Meng asked Ling Yun directly.

“Let’s go now!” Ling Yun was more than ready to leave. He got up and walked out with Little White beside him.

Tang Meng drove the Hummer with Tie Xiaohu in the pa.s.senger seat. Ling Yun sat in the back of the car with Little White on his lap. Long Wu insisted on going to Wenzhou as well and sat beside Ling Yun.

The Hummer exited Qingshui City in the blink of an eye, and they drove southwards to Wenzhou.

“What are you going to do out at sea?” Long Wu asked forcefully with the aura of a meddlesome housekeeper.

“Murder someone!” Ling Yun replied lightly.

“Don’t you know how to do anything else other than murder people?” Long Wu exclaimed agitatedly.

“Sure, I can memorize the Oxford English Dictionary,” Ling Yun jested.

Ling Yun began to recite phrases from the dictionary without a care in the world.

No one said a word after that. They reached Dragon Bay Town in Wenzhou City after three hours and met with the person that Tang Meng contacted.

He left after both sides briefly introduced themselves.

Tang Meng and Tie Xiaohu started s.h.i.+fting the necessities from the Hummer to the leisure speedboat.

There weren’t many things. They were mainly food, drinking water, clothes, and other miscellaneous stuff.

“Big Brother Yun, this speedboat can travel seven hundred and fifty nautical miles. A round trip to and from Turtle Island is about four hundred nautical miles. It’s more than enough.” Tang Meng explained to Ling Yun after he was done with the s.h.i.+fting.

Ling Yun nodded and went on board with Little White. Ling Yun couldn’t wait with the azure sea right in front of him.

“Ling Yun, you better be careful! I’ll wait for you in Wenzhou City!” Long Wu couldn’t help but wave her mobile phone and shout after Ling Yun in a commanding tone.

Ling Yun was slightly moved despite the tone. He nodded slightly and sailed off into the distant sea.

“I’ll switch off my phone now. I’ll call you when I’m back!”
