28: Hiding the warrior's level, these are all prepared for Ling'er sister

“Go take the test.”

The staff arranged a test for her. Liu Ling'er didn't know the specific content of the guild's rank test and was worried about whether it would expose her true rank. But once she got there, she realized it was just two people sparring.

That was too simple.

Soon, she finished the test and walked out. The staff registered her rank: “Level 2 Warrior. Mission accepted, for one week. Please complete the mission as soon as possible and return here for handover.”

“Okay, thank you.”

With the mission accepted, Liu Ling'er started thinking about when would be a good time to depart.

Only then did Zheng Jinfeng ask her, “So you’re a Level 2 Warrior? My husband is a Level Three Martial Artist, but he doesn't look like a Level Three Martial Artist at all. I think you look more like one than him.”

Having deceived Zheng Jinfeng, Liu Ling'er felt a bit guilty, but when traveling, a martial artist’s rank is a secret, and it’s best to keep it hidden if possible.

“Brother Chu often goes in and out of the forest; he has more experience than I do. He hasn't had any accidents in all these years, but I…”

Liu Ling'er sighed. At that time, she had just run out of the Wall and didn't know where to go. She entered the forest and immediately ran into that powerful ferocious beast. Otherwise, she wouldn't have fainted in front of Zheng Jinfeng's house.

Zheng Jinfeng said with a smile, “He’s like that because he’s a coward, afraid to do this and that. If it were me, I definitely wouldn’t be like him.”

Zheng Jinfeng had actually fantasized more than once: if all those cultivation resources had been given to her instead of Chu Feiyue, would her strength now be greater than Chu Feiyue’s?

But it was too late; thinking about it further was meaningless.

When the two returned home, Chu Feiyue heard that Liu Ling'er had accepted a mission and volunteered, “If you trust me, you can come with me. I also have a friend, he’s a Level Three Martial Artist. With the two of us, protecting a young girl like you will definitely not be a problem.”

Chu Feiyue was very generous to his own people, and since his wife Zheng Jinfeng liked Liu Ling'er so much, he naturally had to take good care of Liu Ling'er.

Liu Ling'er indeed needed a “guide.” She wasn't familiar with the Ferocious Beast Forest. Although she had been there before, it was no more than five times in total.

Rushing in recklessly, her fate could very well be the same as last time.

So she gladly accepted Chu Feiyue's kindness: “That’s really very kind of Brother Chu; otherwise, I really wouldn't know what to do.”

“No problem, leave it to me.”

Chu Feiyue patted his chest and said.

Zheng Jinfeng rolled her eyes: “Little Sister Ling'er is praising you, and you’re actually taking yourself seriously? Why don’t you hurry up and wash the vegetables for me?”

Chu Feiyue looked reluctant but still ran to the kitchen to wash the vegetables.

Liu Ling'er covered her mouth and chuckled on the side.

“Little Sister Ling'er, you’re going to the Ferocious Beast Forest tomorrow. I’ve packed some things for you; they should all be useful. See if there’s anything else you need.”

Zheng Jinfeng was incredibly thoughtful towards Liu Ling'er, not just because Liu Ling'er had given them many spirit stones, but also largely because she really liked Liu Ling'er.

The women who lived in this place were generally her age, and middle-aged women gathered together could only chat about gossip. But Liu Ling'er was young; she was only in her teens, and Zheng Jinfeng truly regarded her as a younger sister.

“Sister-in-law, you’re too kind; these are enough.” Liu Ling'er looked at the things Zheng Jinfeng had prepared, and a sudden bittersweet feeling welled up in her heart.

If her mother were still alive, would she also prepare these things for her when she was about to go on an adventure in the forest?

If her mother were still alive, perhaps she wouldn't have run out of the Wall in a fit of anger.

Her own father and two younger sisters in the entire Liu family had never made her feel the warmth of family.

Yet, here with Zheng Jinfeng, she felt meticulous care.

But they were clearly just strangers!

She had even hidden her real name and rank from Zheng Jinfeng.

“What’s wrong with you?” Zheng Jinfeng noticed Liu Ling'er was a bit off and asked.

“I’m fine.” Liu Ling'er quickly wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and pretended as if nothing had happened. “Sister-in-law, thank you for helping me prepare these.”

Zheng Jinfeng said generously, “It’s nothing; I should be thanking you for accompanying me and chatting every day.”

Liu Ling'er said seriously, “No matter what, thank you.”

She was so serious that Zheng Jinfeng didn't know what to say and cleared her throat: “It’s good that nothing’s missing. I specifically bought your favorite dishes. Tonight, let’s have a good meal, and tomorrow when you go into the forest, you must be careful, okay?”

“Yes, I know.” Liu Ling'er nodded. She would protect herself.

“Wifey, the vegetables are washed… Oh my, so many things, and dry rations too. Are these all for me?”

Chu Feiyue came out of the kitchen, saw the large bag of items on the table, and was overjoyed. He immediately went over and picked Zheng Jinfeng up.

Zheng Jinfeng quickly slapped his hands: “Put me down, Little Sister Ling'er is still here. What kind of behavior is that?”

Chu Feiyue quickly let go but was still very happy: “I was just so pleasantly surprised, wifey, you actually prepared everything so thoroughly for me.”

Zheng Jinfeng said, blushing, “Who said they were for you? They’re clearly for Little Sister Ling'er.”

“Huh?”

Chu Feiyue’s face immediately fell.

He had thought this was his wife’s love for him!

But it wasn't for him, boo hoo.

“How could I use so much by myself? Sister-in-law prepared these things because I’m going into the forest with Brother Chu,” Liu Ling'er quickly said, trying to smooth things over.

Sure enough, as soon as Chu Feiyue heard that, he was happy again: “Exactly, exactly! Wifey, I knew you still cared about me.”

Zheng Jinfeng pushed him away, feigning disgust: “Alright, alright, I’m going to cook. Dinner will shut you up eventually.”

With that, she fled in embarrassment.

“Sister-in-law, I’ll help you!” Liu Ling'er also followed her into the kitchen to cook.

Only Chu Feiyue was left there, bubbling with joy.

His wife prepared so many things for him, hehe.

His wife was so good to him… The next day, Little Ice Fox found a car and immediately jumped in. Lately, it had found an ownerless cave to be its den, usually not going far to forage, only running this far when looking for a car.

“Welcome aboard this train. Please sit tight and hold on.”

For Little Ice Fox, Lin Feng didn't need to mention buying a ticket; it had quite a few spirit stones stored in the car.

There was no one in the car, so Little Ice Fox swaggered onto a seat and quietly began to cultivate.

Because it often cultivated in the car, its strength improved very quickly. Under the same rank, other second-tier ferocious beasts couldn't defeat it at all; they had no power to fight back in front of it.

Lin Feng: Is it possible that this is because you are a Snow Shadow Ice Fox cub that doesn't belong to this forest?
