The most melodramatic rebirth in history

Chapter 61 A Tragic Man Drinks with a Beautiful Woman

"Ring, ring ring..."

The colorful beads hanging inside the room collided with each other, making pleasant and melodious sounds.

A pair of fair, jade-like hands gently lifted the colorful beads, slowly revealing a stunningly beautiful woman behind it, wearing a light veil and with her hair styled in a simple bun.

The woman wore a snow-white brocade robe, her figure was curvaceous and her eyes were like jade. She slowly lifted her foot and took a step in response to the sound.

Every step she takes carries a thousand charms and ten thousand styles.

Everyone present, regardless of gender, felt their hearts race and were momentarily stunned for several seconds upon witnessing this scene.

Feng Ling was also incredibly surprised. This was only because the other person had revealed their aura but hadn't yet unveiled their face. If they were to unveil their face...

"Miss Miaoshuang, I also have a favor to ask. I wonder if you would be willing to grant it?"

Zhang Yiqiang suppressed the strange feeling surging in his heart, adopted the demeanor of a humble gentleman, and bowed to Miao Shuang as she came out.

"Hmph, are you just eager to hunt?"

The veiled woman glanced at Zhang Yi, whose gaze shifted rapidly, and a hint of disgust flashed in her eyes, but it disappeared in an instant. She replied in a calm tone, "Young City Lord, please speak. Miao Shuang is all ears!"

Seeing this, Feng Ling remained silent, but a chill ran through him.

Not only did Miao Shuang notice Zhang Yi's affection for her, but Feng Ling did as well.

"Miss, could you please diagnose my betrothed, Sun Yuyang?"

Zhang Yi spoke gently, his eyes pleading as he looked at Miao Shuang.

It's rare to see him adopt such a humble attitude!
"Forehead?"

Upon hearing this, Feng Ling and Miao Shuang were both taken aback, not expecting Zhang Yi to make such a request.

The stark contrast made the two of them wonder: Had they just imagined it?
"Sure, it's no trouble at all!"

A barely perceptible glint flashed in Miao Shuang's eyes, and she readily agreed.
Unexpectedly, when she turned her head, she saw Wang Tiezhu looking hesitant and anxious.

To avoid any misunderstanding, Miao Shuang quickly explained with a smile, "As is customary, tomorrow I will first go to treat the Queen Mother, and then come to your city lord's mansion at noon!"

"Hmm. With your word, young lady, I am relieved. In that case, I will refrain from staying any longer and will await your arrival tomorrow!"

Zhang Yi beamed with joy and couldn't contain his happiness as he bid farewell to everyone present.

"Brother Feng Ling, I'm heading back now. Come back soon after you've explored the city thoroughly!"

Zhang Yi turned around, gave Feng Ling some instructions, and then strode steadily downstairs and left.

"Then I'll go downstairs for a drink too, is that alright?" Wang Tiezhu scratched his head awkwardly.

As the young city lord, Zhang Yigui naturally didn't care about this mere banquet, but that didn't mean he was indifferent to it.

His family was a typical poor family for three generations, unlike Zhang Yi who was rich, powerful and influential!

"Of course! Go ahead, we've specially prepared a table for the first place winner!"

Madam Xu chuckled, watching Wang Tiezhu politely thank her and then walk downstairs. She felt a pang of sadness and thought: Fool, so what if you're number one?

If your filial piety hadn't moved someone, this wouldn't have happened!

"Young Master Feng, do you still remember our promise?"

A sweet voice suddenly rang out, startling Feng Ling, who was lost in thought. He blurted out instinctively, "What agreement?"

"If you win the last two questions, you have to grant me three requests!"

Miao Shuang was both ashamed and angry. She stomped her foot slightly, clearly annoyed by Feng Ling's way of pretending not to know and "reneging on his debt."

However, she didn't realize that this timid, womanly demeanor resembled a wife's resentment towards her husband.

Not only was Feng Ling shocked by her action, but even she herself was greatly surprised, staring blankly down and thinking to herself: Is this still me?

It shouldn’t be!

"Hehe! Sister Shuang, let's head out first!"

Miao Xuan smiled quietly, her strange gaze shifting back and forth between Feng Ling and Miao Shuang, making Feng Ling extremely embarrassed.

Because Miaoshuang was wearing a veil, no one could see her charming dimples and blush.

Only after Miao Shuang nodded in understanding, and Miao Xuan, Xu Niangzi, and the others went downstairs together, and everyone left in the blink of an eye, did this awkward situation finally end.

In the empty room, only a lone man and woman remained.

The atmosphere was so quiet it was almost oppressive; even the faint, rapid breathing could be clearly heard.

Miao Shuang stared at Feng Ling, hesitant to speak, and after a long pause, she remained silent.

"Ahem, Miss Miaoshuang, please state your terms! As long as it doesn't violate morality and is within my capabilities, I will do my utmost to achieve it!"

Seeing that Miao Shuang stared at him in silence for a long time without showing any intention of speaking, Feng Ling had no choice but to cough and speak up.

"Feng Ling... Junior Brother! Drink with me and release a river lantern!"

The sweet voice still lingered in my ears.

A beautiful figure had already pulled off her veil, and in a flash, she lightly leaped down from the window.

"Forehead……"

The veil that had fallen was lifted by the breeze, and it brushed against Feng Ling's handsome face, leaving a lingering, intoxicating fragrance that filled his heart.

"Senior sister?" Feng Ling looked puzzled, but he couldn't figure it out. He already had the answer in his heart, but he just couldn't believe it.

After all, it goes against common sense...

Despite thinking this, Feng Ling moved quickly, vaulting over and breaking through the window to escape.

The moment he jumped out of the window, Feng Ling felt a sensation he had only experienced in his past life as an assassin, fleeing for his life. Miaoyin Pavilion, behind the building.

Beside a secluded underground river...

"Senior Sister Leng..."

Upon landing, Feng Ling caught sight of the stunningly beautiful woman. He stepped forward and tentatively called out to her back, his hand still holding the veil in his trembling hand.

"Of the four characters in the riddle, the one starting with 'flower' is the simplest. Junior brother, you deliberately didn't guess it, did you?"

Setting down a river lantern, the woman gracefully rose and slowly turned around.

Immediately afterward, Feng Ling's body trembled slightly, his pupils contracted, and what came into view was a breathtakingly beautiful face!

Such a femme fatale, who else could it be but Leng Ningshuang?
"Miao Shuang... Leng Ning Shuang, I should have thought of that sooner!"

Feng Ling was a little confused: Is this still Senior Sister Leng?
Upon seeing her again, the usually aloof and icy goddess, Leng Ning Shuang, surprisingly allowed her beautiful face to be bathed in the sunset, adorned with a charming smile.

This makes her even more stunningly beautiful!

Seeing Feng Ling staring blankly at her, Leng Ning Shuang couldn't help but scold him playfully, her pretty face slightly flushed: "Junior brother, I'm asking you a question!"

"Ahem, what brings Senior Sister to Sunset City?" Feng Ling awkwardly turned his head away and asked casually, afraid that if he kept looking at her, he would get lost. That would be truly embarrassing.

"While wandering around aimlessly, I overheard that the Sun family, one of the five major powers under my sect, had suffered a great calamity, so I decided to come and take a look. I should have just waited; what I saw shocked me!"

"Senior sister, are you aware of some of the changes that have occurred in the Sun family?"

Leng Ning Shuang looked up, lost in thought. After explaining, she saw Feng Ling looking at her with a serious expression.

She was slightly taken aback, thinking to herself: His serious attitude is truly terrifying! In that state, even ten stunningly beautiful women like me wouldn't be able to sway him in the slightest!
Thinking this, Leng Ning Shuang felt a little annoyed. What on earth was she thinking?
Coming to her senses, Leng Ningshuang's mind stirred, and she stared into Feng Ling's eyes, saying, "Junior Brother, are you lingering here to investigate secretly?"

"It seems that Senior Sister really knew!"

A confident smile appeared on Feng Ling's lips. He took a few steps forward and sat on the stone steps to the left of Leng Ning Shuang. He casually took out several jugs of strong liquor from behind him, tilted his head back, and drank them down. He was no longer as reserved as before.

A hint of surprise flashed in Leng Ning Shuang's eyes again, then she casually sat down.

She forcefully snatched the strong liquor from Feng Ling's hand, seemingly trying to be brave, and choked on it. After a while, she spoke softly with a slightly flushed face: "With so many distracting thoughts in one's mind, how can one see through one's true heart? Therefore, Zhang Yi answered the wrong word 'heart'."

"Wang Tiezhu did answer the question about the character 'heart' correctly, but he didn't know what 'flower' meant. He's one of the few honest and simple-minded people out there!"

……

"And the fact that you know the answer is a flower, yet you refuse to say it, proves that you are a devoted person..."

Leng Ning Shuang kept these last words to herself, without uttering them aloud.

Therefore, Feng Ling could not hear his plea!

"If you can't drink, don't force yourself!" Feng Ling looked at Leng Ning Shuang, whose face was flushed and who was already drunk, and couldn't help but shake his head and sigh.

Everyone has their own suffering; you can't advise them or tell them what to do!
Thinking this, Feng Ling took out another pot of scalding hot liquor and drank and talked with Leng Ning Shuang in front of the setting sun in the night sky.

After exchanging information and combining and organizing it, Feng Ling and Leng Ning Shuang gradually formed a general outline of the truth in their minds.

What they need to do next is wait for the right time to gradually verify and reveal the truth.

"Alas! Let us drink and sing, for how short is life? Like morning dew, the days gone by are many..."

Both are sleepless tonight, filled with sorrow.

Feng Ling was drinking to drown her sorrows, hoping to dispel her grief by misjudging Zhang Yi's character.

As for why Leng Ningshuang was drinking it so enthusiastically, Feng Ling had no idea.

"The key to getting in is still Sun Yuyang!"

Just as Leng Ningshuang was completely drunk, a gust of wind blew by, and the biting coolness slightly dispelled Feng Ling's drunkenness. He tilted his head back and drank the last mouthful of wine, and Feng Ling sighed with a clear mind.

According to Leng Ningshuang, she had met with Sun Yuyang a few days ago and naturally knew that Sun Yuyang was pretending to be crazy out of desperation!
"Leaning on the railing, gazing into the distance, the sky is filled with stars...like spring flowers...blooming and vibrant, the moon falls into...the deep forest, and a lingering melancholy and endless sorrow well up in my heart..."

Fragrance...dissipates easily; warmth...fragile!

"Senior sister, senior sister...?"

Feng Ling shrugged and shook the stunningly beautiful drunk woman who was grabbing his arm and leaning her head on his shoulder in a domineering manner. Finally, he sighed, smiled bitterly, and shook his head, looking quite helpless.

Cold condensation cream is a powerful allure that can make countless men fall for it.

If Feng Ling had no feelings for her at such close range, it would be either because he wasn't a man, or because he was lying through his teeth and deceiving himself!
"Just consider it a test of my mental strength!" Feng Ling comforted himself inwardly, then quickly closed his eyes to do the most important thing.

—Consolidate your legendary Ghost Spirit Master status!

After being infused with the power of the Sun and Moon Shining Together, Feng Ling merged with the legendary Laughing Ghost of level twelve ahead of schedule, successfully breaking through to the eleventh level.

He's been dragging this out since his breakthrough, and if he doesn't consolidate his realm soon, he'll fall back to the tenth level...

Fall short!
An incense stick's time passed... and a mysterious, elusive aura flashed by and vanished...

"suddenly……"

Another gust of cold wind blew by, and several thin little paper boats struggled in the wind.

A tiny flame flickered on it, seemingly about to burst into flames...

"Finally, I've stabilized my realm and advanced... to Legendary!" The sleeping Leng Ning Shuang's delicate body trembled, and she gripped Feng Ling even tighter.

Feng Ling then opened his eyes, and with a thought, an invisible layer of ghostly power spread out, completely enveloping the two figures who were intimately embracing.

Two figures on the riverbank gradually blurred in the water reflecting the afterglow of the setting sun...

Life is not about persevering because of hope; it's about seeing hope because we persevere.

The world is full of chaos and troubles; may the sages offer you a pure land for your souls.
