Full-Time Wizard: Succubus Eevee, Online Backflip

"Yes, I'm back. Thank you for your hard work these past few days." Qin Feng nodded, a hint of apology in his voice, and continued:

"I should have fulfilled my promise to you a year ago, but it's been delayed until now... How about I contact Zhan Kong for you now?"

Upon hearing this, Qin Yu'er gently shook her head, her expression calm and serene.

"No need. Actually, I met him more than a year ago." Her voice was indifferent, as if she were talking about something very ordinary.

"Oh? Really? Is he alright?" Qin Feng smiled awkwardly, trying to hide his embarrassment.

"He... has already returned to the ancestral hall of his family." Qin Yu'er said softly, her gaze slightly lowered.

"Oh, the ancestral hall... the ancestral temple?" Qin Feng paused for a moment, then stared wide-eyed at Qin Yu'er in disbelief: "You mean... him..."

"Yes, he's dead." Qin Yu'er's tone remained calm, as if she were recounting something unrelated to herself.

"He died on the battlefield guarding the coastline. He was ambushed by a monarch-level sea monster, and by the time his comrades found him, only half of his body remained."

Her voice was flat and emotionless, yet it sent a suffocating feeling of oppression through Qin Feng. He remained silent for a moment, then cautiously asked, "Are you... alright?"

Qin Yu'er raised her head, her gaze calmly meeting Qin Feng's, a faint smile playing on her lips:

"Don't worry, boss, I'm fine. I've also figured it out. My feelings for Zu Xingyi are more like gratitude towards a friend than romantic affection."

Her tone was gentle yet firm, as if telling Qin Feng, and herself, that all of this was in the past.

"I am grateful for the care he gave me during my time in the Nationalist government, and for standing up to protect me when I needed help the most."

Qin Yu'er continued, a hint of relief in her eyes: "But that kind of feeling wasn't love."

Qin Feng looked at her, his heart filled with mixed emotions. He opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but didn't know where to begin.

Qin Yu'er seemed to sense his hesitation, and smiled gently, her tone carrying a hint of teasing:

"Besides, boss, I've already signed a lifetime employment contract with you. Do you really think I'd do something drastic?"

Upon hearing this, Qin Feng couldn't help but laugh, then remarked with emotion, "It seems you've changed a lot during this time."

A hint of relief flickered in his eyes. Following the original timeline, Qin Yu'er might indeed follow Zhan Kong in death.

After all, in that timeline, the only person she could trust and rely on in her world was Zhan Kong.

For her, Zhan Kong's departure was tantamount to losing her only pillar of support.

But now, everything is different.

Since Qin Feng brought Qin Yu'er to Treeheart City, her life has undergone earth-shattering changes.

The diverse people, the vibrant lives, and Qin Feng's care and trust gradually filled her once lonely heart.

Even though Zhan Kong is gone, Qin Yu'er still has a deep attachment to this world.

"Perhaps," Qin Yu'er said softly.

"That's perfect, come with me on this business trip," Qin Feng suddenly said.

"A business trip?" Qin Yu'er was taken aback, looking at him with some surprise. "Boss, didn't you just get back? Are you going out again?"

"I suppose so." Qin Feng nodded, a hint of determination in his eyes. "After all, I'm strong enough now, it's time to fulfill the promises I owe."

Last night, he asked Apas if she had avenged her birth mother's spouse. Apas's answer was no.

Therefore, Qin Feng decided to take her to the Holy City and personally kill the harpy Medusa—Eurei, who was hiding in the Holy City!

Since he happened to meet Qin Yu'er today, Qin Feng thought he would bring her along.

Firstly, it would allow her to relax, and secondly, if she encountered the group that sealed her back then, Qin Feng wouldn't mind taking care of them as well.

"Okay, let me know when the boss is leaving." Qin Yu'er nodded. "I still have some work to do, so please excuse me."

After saying that, she turned and left, her long, silvery-white hair gleaming faintly in the sunlight, her silhouette still cool and elegant.

"She really looks like Ning Xue."

Turning away from his gaze, Qin Feng walked towards the top of the Heavenly Crown Purple Linden tree.

……

Qin Feng arrived at the territory of the Iron-Eating Beast clan on the fourth level of the Tree Realm and quickly found Chi Yi.

"Oh? You're back?" Chi Yi's eyes flashed with joy when he saw Qin Feng.

The latest novel is first published here!

"Well, actually I haven't been gone for long, it's just that time flows so slowly in the Dark Dimension that a year has passed outside by the time I came out after going around in there."

Qin Feng shrugged helplessly, his tone tinged with a hint of emotion.

"You've been to the Dark Dimension? What was it like there? Were there any formidable enemies?" Chi Yi's gaze was intense, his eyes burning with fierce fighting spirit.

"Of course." Qin Feng nodded, his expression serious.

"There are at least dozens of Emperor-level powerhouses there, scattered throughout the Dark Dimension. Moreover, the rules there are extremely strange; they suppress visiting Emperors. Even if their strength is comparable, they will be toyed with like toys."

"Strange rules? Great, rules like these are what make things fun, aren't they?" Chi Yi grinned, revealing a bloodthirsty smile, his fists clenched so tightly they cracked.

"So, when are we going to attack the Dark Dimension? The battle blood within me is itching to fight!" Chi Yi asked impatiently, his eyes full of anticipation.

Qin Feng smiled and waved his hand: "Senior Chi Yi, don't be anxious. We will definitely fight in the Dark Dimension, but not now. We still have the threat of the Ocean Dynasty, as well as the Kunlun Demon Kingdom, the Blood Beast Wasteland... If we don't deal with these potential enemies, I dare not rashly launch an attack on the Dark Dimension."

Upon hearing this, Chi Yi frowned and impatiently waved his fist: "Just tell me where to hit me now? I've been recuperating for two years, my bones are practically rusting!"

"I would like to trouble Senior Chi Yi to make a trip to Kunlun to find out who is in charge there now and how they view us humans," Qin Feng said.

Most of the Chinese totems originated from the Kunlun lineage. According to the intelligence he collected, after the decline of the totems, a group of totems returned to Kunlun and settled there.

Kunlun Zuhu was one of them.

"What a hassle, why not just call them directly?" Chi Yi rubbed the back of his hairy head.

Then he continued, "Alright, I'll go to Kunlun tomorrow. It's been a long time since I've been there."

"Senior Chi Yi has been to Kunlun?" Qin Feng asked.

"Of course, I once fought against Chi You in Kunlun, but unfortunately I failed in the end. However, I did make a lot of friends, and maybe some of them are still alive." Chi Yi nodded.

Upon hearing this, Qin Feng's eyes flashed with delight: "That's great! With Senior Chi Yi's help, this trip to Kunlun will definitely go much more smoothly." (End of Chapter)
