"Well..."

Ling Feng shook his head and smiled, "It's just something I picked up while fighting off Quinn."

"You picked it up casually?"

Veronica's alluring eyes darted around, clearly dissatisfied with Ling Feng's vague answer.

She swayed her serpentine waist, leaning even closer, almost pressed against Ling Feng, her breath sweet as orchids, her voice carrying a seductive allure: "Lord Long Fei~ please stop keeping us in suspense! That dark red crystal just now saved everyone! The aura it emitted... was so peculiar, so powerful! It could even absorb such a terrifying abyss self-destruction, it must be no ordinary object, right?"

Her question immediately drew everyone's attention.

Michael scratched his blond hair and chimed in gruffly, "Yeah, Brother Longfei! That thing is really weird! In a flash, such a big bug deflated! What's it all about?"

This idiot...

Ling Feng cursed inwardly. He had clearly seen this thing before, so why was he still there to join in the fun?

Freya, however, frowned slightly. With her meticulous mind, she had already noticed something and guessed that the crystal should be the strange scale that had caused Scott, the leader of an adventure group, to mutate.

Later, Quinn took this scale, which then evolved and grew into the Abyss Child with such terrifying power as it is today.

Unexpectedly, Ling Feng managed to take it back.

The process was full of twists and turns.

Seeing that Veronica was practically pressed against Ling Feng, she was displeased. She immediately snorted and pushed Veronica aside, saying, "Veronica, if you're going to talk, just talk. Why are you standing so close?"

"you!"

Veronica glared at Freya, but quickly regained her usual flirtatious demeanor, giggling, "So, Freya, you and him, hehehe... I never expected that!"

Freya frowned and glared at Veronica. "Stop spouting nonsense! I just can't stand you! Don't you think you ask too many questions and talk too much?"

Freya's tone was laced with undisguised sarcasm, "According to the rules of our Tribunal, spoils of war seized from the enemy during a mission naturally belong to the individual. Lord Longfei, you took something from Quinn with your own skill, so why do you expect me to report its origin and purpose to you in detail? If you're so curious, why didn't you go and steal one from Quinn yourself?"

Her words were sharp, directly citing the rules of the tribunal, leaving Veronica speechless.

Veronica's charming smile froze for a moment, a hint of anger flashing in her eyes, but it quickly turned into a wronged look, and she said with tears in her eyes, "Look at what you're saying... I was just curious, that treasure is so magical, can't I even be curious? Why are you being so aggressive?"

"curious?"

Freya scoffed, "I think you're just after it! Stop with your hypocritical act! It's disgusting!"

"you!"

Veronica's expression twisted for a moment, even though she was now at the God Throne level, far surpassing Freya in status.

However, Freya is also a guest minister under Ling Feng, the third god.

She really couldn't do anything about Freya.

Moreover, Ling Feng is right here now. Even when beating a dog, one should consider its owner, let alone beating it in front of everyone.

Seeing that the two women were about to clash again, Ling Feng felt a headache coming on and quickly interjected, "Alright, it's just a trophy, no need to discuss it further. Veronica, I still need to study what this thing is. I'm afraid I can't satisfy your curiosity."

His words gave Veronica a way out. The woman was smart enough to know that asking any further would only make her look foolish, so she could only pout and say in a coquettish voice, "Yes, yes, yes, you are right, sir. I was just being nosy. I was just asking casually."

After saying that, she turned and walked to the side, but her eyes kept glancing at Ling Feng from time to time, clearly she had not given up.

Seeing this, Michael laughed and patted Ling Feng on the shoulder: "Good job, Elder Long Fei... cough cough, Lord Long Fei! Who cares about his background, as long as he works!"

Ling Feng shook his head and smiled, "Alright, Brother Michael, in formal settings you can call me Lord Long Fei, and I won't hold it against you. But in private, you don't need to be so formal, right? What should you call me?"

"Haha, Brother Longfei!"

Michael was overjoyed and immediately exclaimed with delight, "Brother, I knew I hadn't misjudged you!"

Ling Feng has now become quite adept at winning people over.

Michael is a man of considerable strength. If we could win him over to our side, he would definitely be of use in the future.

……

The starship traveled at full speed, and about an hour later...

The magnificent outline of the Longyuan relay station, marked by the scars of war, was already clearly visible.

The massive alloy gates slowly opened, and the starship smoothly glided into the parking apron.

The hatch opened, and Ling Feng was the first to walk down the gangway.

His gaze swept across the welcoming crowd, and at first glance, he saw that familiar figure.

It is Yu Bingqing's third personality, Er.

With a face exactly like Yu Bingqing's, she indeed possessed a completely different temperament from the other two personalities, Mio and Yan.

She was still wearing her smart combat uniform, standing tall and straight in front of the crowd, her face showing undisguised anxiety and anticipation.

When Ling Feng's gaze met hers, his heart stirred slightly, and he even subconsciously adjusted his posture, revealing a gentle and calm smile on his face, ready to receive the caring greeting from this "Bing Qing" third personality.

After all, he believed that his performance along the way had shown considerable leadership qualities.

She'd be completely smitten with him!
However, what happened in the next instant caused Ling Feng's expression to freeze instantly.

Er's gaze lingered on his face for only a very brief moment, as if merely confirming his identity, before quickly passing over him and fixing firmly on Ling Zhan!

She strode forward, a hint of excitement clearly showing on her pretty face.

Ling Feng also opened his arms and walked towards Er, revealing a hearty laugh.

However, she simply brushed past him, leaving Ling Feng standing there dumbfounded.

Er rushed towards Ling Zhan in two strides, but stopped abruptly when she was still ten steps away, as if she had suddenly realized her identity and the occasion and forcibly suppressed the urge to pounce.

She lowered her head slightly, her hands clasped nervously together, but her gaze remained fixed on Ling Zhan, her voice trembling slightly as she asked with concern, "Lord Blood... Blood God Throne, are you alright? Are you injured?"

A hint of excitement, joy, and intense concern was clearly visible in those jewel-like eyes.

Two faint blushes appeared on her usually cool and calm face, and her eyes became incredibly gentle and focused, even carrying a hint of shyness.

It was as if the whole world had lost its color in her eyes, leaving only that one person! Ling Feng's outstretched arms were still hanging in mid-air, and the gentle smile on his face froze completely, leaving him feeling both amused and exasperated.

"Cough cough..."

He silently withdrew his arm, subconsciously touched the bridge of his nose, and felt a surge of bittersweet emotion.

Even, I feel like laughing.

Damn it... I've lost my mind!
He almost forgot that he had disguised himself and infiltrated the Tribunal.

The one wearing the face of "Ling Feng" is Ling Zhan!
It's no wonder that Er instinctively felt care and affection for Ling Zhan.

Deep down, she loved Ling Feng, and it should have been Ling Feng.

Although rationally Ling Feng understood exactly what was going on, emotionally he still felt like crying but couldn't.

Does this count as... cheating on yourself?

After everything is over, Bingqing's three personalities will definitely have to merge into one to reawaken the real Bingqing.

What should be done with Ling Zhan's clone at that time?
He wouldn't allow another Ling Feng to share his wife.

Even if it's a copy of yourself!
Ling Zhan was clearly excited to see Er standing right in front of him.

But he was well aware that he was still playing a role that was almost like a "puppet," and he could not reveal too much of his personal emotions.

Therefore, he simply said to Asahi indifferently, "Get out of my way, you're blocking my way!"

He had to maintain that aloof demeanor to avoid arousing any suspicion or distrust.

After all, Veronica and Yuejian Chu seemed to have been sent by Siyou to help him, but at the same time, they were also there to monitor him and Ling Feng.

Both Ling Feng and Ling Zhan were well aware of this.

Er gritted her teeth, seemingly surprised by Ling Zhan's coldness. She forced an awkward smile, silently stepped aside, and said through gritted teeth, "I'm sorry."

Seeing Ling Zhan's indifferent demeanor, Ling Feng couldn't help but admire him inwardly. Although he was his clone, his self-control over his emotions was even stronger than that of the original Ling Zhan.

This kid's got something special!
As expected of Ling Feng!

He took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the churning awkwardness in his heart, pretending that he hadn't seen anything or that nothing had happened, and walked expressionlessly into the relay station first, saying in a calm tone, "Let's go, let's go in first and talk. The fighting has just ended, and there are still many things to discuss."

Freya and Ryuzawa Riyue witnessed this scene, and the two women exchanged a glance, both unable to suppress their laughter.

Freya nudged Longze Liyue with her elbow and whispered, "See? Someone seems to have misunderstood and misrepresented his feelings! Hehe..."

Long Ze Liyue smiled slightly and quickly followed Ling Feng's footsteps.

……

A moment later, the atmosphere at the relay station's command center became somewhat solemn and heavy.

Commander-in-Chief Ryan, along with all the current high-ranking officers of the Longyuan Relay Station, quickly arrived at the command center.

When Ling Feng returned from the bottom city last time, he had some dealings with this Ryan.

"Lord Tianmu God Seat!"

Ryan bowed deeply to Ling Feng, and after Ling Feng helped him up, the old man exclaimed with admiration, "I never imagined that in just a few months, Lord Long Fei would have risen to the third rank of God! I knew from the beginning that you were no ordinary person..."

After a round of flattery, the old man seemed to realize that Ling Feng didn't really like bootlicking, so he stopped his endless boasting and began to give a detailed report on the specific situation that the Longyuan relay station had been facing during this period.

After briefly describing the frequency of the Zerg attacks, Ryan pointed to the huge strategic star map, his expression grave: "In the past month, the frequency and intensity of the Zerg and mutated Annihilation Beast attacks have far exceeded those of the past, and their mutation and evolution speed is also getting faster and faster. Although Sky City has sent a lot of reinforcements, the pressure we face has not lessened at all."

He paused, then laughed loudly, "Fortunately, this time, Lord Bloodlust God Throne, Lord Heavenly Eye God Throne, and all the other lords descended and, before even reaching the Dragon Abyss Relay Station, had already eliminated many of the main forces of the mutated insectoid race, as well as dozens of Tyrant-type mutated Annihilation Beasts!"

He continued excitedly, "This victory is the greatest we humans have achieved in recent months! You gentlemen truly deserve to be called the chosen ones of heaven, the dragons among men!"

Ling Feng remained calm, even though they had indeed killed quite a few high-level insectoids and mutated annihilation beasts today.

But to say that it has dealt a heavy blow to the Zerg is far from enough.

After all, the Night Mother already has the fighting power of eight insect queens under her command, so the Hunting Mother's tribe, which has been fighting for many years, must have an even stronger force under its command.

What Quinn has brought us today is probably just the tip of the iceberg.

Just then, the command center door was pushed open again, and the former Eighth God of Life, Gabriel, and the former Ninth God of Void, Abaddon, strode in.

Upon seeing these two, a flash of killing intent crossed Ling Feng's eyes.

These two individuals were among the main culprits behind the death of the leader of Huanglong.

Although Metatron was already dead at his hands, Ling Feng had no intention of letting these two go either.

At this moment, the arrogance of the two men was gone, replaced by a cautiousness and an undisguised fawning.

"My subordinate Gabriel (Abaddon), please see Lord Celestial Eye God Throne! Lord Blood Slaughter God Throne! All Lords God Throne!"

The two bowed deeply, their posture extremely humble.

Ling Feng didn't even bother to lift his eyelids, only giving a faint "hmm" in response, while inwardly sneering.

He didn't give these two a friendly look. If it weren't for the fact that he needed manpower right now, and that they were, after all, the high-end combat force of the Tribunal, he wouldn't have even let them in the door.

Seeing Ling Feng's cold attitude, Gabriel's face flashed with embarrassment. He then put on a smile and looked at Ling Zhan ingratiatingly, saying, "Lord Bloodlust God's might is unparalleled. His victory over Quinn this time is a great achievement that we can only admire!"

Ling Zhan remained expressionless, not even glancing at him.

Gabriel, feeling slighted and embarrassed, quickly changed the subject, trying to demonstrate his worth: "My lords, although Quinn has temporarily retreated, the Zerg's foundation remains intact, and a comeback is inevitable. Passive defense is not a long-term solution. I... I have a bold idea!"

"Oh?"

Veronica immediately became interested and raised an eyebrow, asking, "Gabriel, what's your opinion?"

Seeing that someone had finally responded, Gabriel immediately perked up, straightened his back, and showed a smug look on his face: "I dare not accept such a brilliant idea! But I have spent a lot of effort to create a special 'life puppet'! This puppet can open up time-lapse cavities, through which we can launch a surprise attack and directly invade the Zerg's rear nests!"

He became increasingly agitated as he spoke: "If we could organize an elite squad to launch a proactive attack and strike at the heart of the enemy, even if we couldn't completely annihilate the Zerg, we could severely cripple their elite forces and teach those arrogant beasts a lesson they won't forget!"
