40 Inspiration (1/2)
Shanghai, Pudong District. Nearing noon.
A famous road of Pudong, a group of four was cheerfully walking the affluent street surrounded by amazing stores. The air was cool and pleasant to breathe.
”Is this fine? Will Brother Hui know where to find us?” Walking this unfamiliar street, Nian Zhen warily asked her best friend.
”Don't worry, Dàgē will.” Feng Mei shone a beautiful smile. Revealing her pearly-white teeth, she giggled in response.
Hearing this, Sun Yi also loudly roared, ”Don't underestimate my friend. No matter where we are, he will know!”
With this awe-inspiring praise, Wang Fang was stunned, ”He's that amazing?”
Looking to the foggy sky, Sun Yi smiled, ”Is the current sky not proof enough?”
Who could close portals on Earth beside Brother Hui? Sun Yi wholeheartedly admired his incomprehensible friend! In their two months of friendship, he has always trusted this black-robed man. In his eyes, this mysterious man was akin to a deity.
”That's true.” Also looking upwards, Wang Fang nodded. In Shanghai, there were hardly any portals left. There were still the old monsters lingering on the streets, however.
Regardless, this was an admirable feat. In the blink of an eye, Feng Hui had saved innumerable lives with this single action. Within Shanghai, the survivors now had a fighting chance.
While the four were leisurely treading the streets, the group suddenly saw a massive distortion in the atmosphere. Instantly, all of them knew that Feng Hui was arriving.
Unsurprisingly, a pitch-black portal formed. Soon after, Feng Hui stepped out with a smile.
In less than two hours, Feng Hui had returned. However, there was a slight difference. A little shy heavenly beauty was trying to hide behind him.
For some reason, Zhi Ruo instinctively went to hide behind this black-robed man out of embarrassment. Something in her soul told her that she could trust him. For her, this feeling was inexplicable. In her entire life, she had never trusted anyone.
”Brother Hui, who is she?” Lifting his brows, Sun Yi curiously inquired.
”Dàgē?” Feng Mei was also stunned. Who was this heavenly beauty in her early twenties? Also, why was her elder brother brightly smiling with a doting look? From childhood, she had never seen Feng Hui treat a woman with such fondness. At times, she even thought that he did not swing that way.
Besides his family, Feng Hui would always keep a safe distance from women. However, he would still attend gatherings in the past with his classmates. Thus, there were no rumors surrounding his sexuality. The entire school treated him as a cold male god.
Chuckling, Feng Hui explained, ”Everybody, this little miss is a dear friend of mine.”
Along with this sentence, the group of four was stunned. Hearing the blatant affection in his words, Sun Yi couldn't believe it, ”Oh…”
Stepping away from the black-robed man's tall back, Zhi Ruo softly introduced herself, ”I'm Zhi Ruo, nice to meet you.”
”Likewise, I'm Sun Yi.” With a brilliant smile, Sun Yi responded. In the end, this little beauty was a friend of his good brother; therefore, he would treat her well.
”I'm his little sister, Feng Mei!” Regardless of his thoughts, Feng Mei would treat anyone her elder brother had accepted well. With a pair of passionate eyes, she ran toward the little Zhi Ruo.
Tightly holding the beautiful woman's hands, Feng Mei giggled, ”Tell me, has Dàgē been bullying you? If so, I'll teach him a lesson!”
Shaking her little head, Zhi Ruo was stunned by the good-naturedness of the group, ”Not at all. Brother Feng's been very kind.”
Seeing this stunning sight, Feng Hui felt his chest tighten. If his family was with him in the Long Kingdom, how beautiful would the world have been? Life would have been utter bliss.
Now, Feng Hui simply had to bring his mother back. In his eyes, this was the sole most important thing! To build a bright future for their family, he would not stop no matter what.
Hearing of her elder brother's kindness, Feng Mei's smile brightened, ”Yes, Dàgē is very kind! How did the two of you meet? I want to know!”
When Zhi Ruo heard the second sentence, she was left speechless. Unsure of what to say, she looked toward the mysterious black-robed man.
”In another lifetime.” Feng Hui jokily answered. However, his eyes revealed a melancholic shine. On Earth, he was the sole person who knew of their history together.
Upon this joke, both ladies were stunned. Feng Mei turned to look at her elder brother, ”Dàgē…?”
For some reason, Feng Mei did not think this was a joke. From childhood, her serious elder brother would hardly ever act humorous. Furthermore, he was too unfathomable in recent times. Maybe… his words were true?
To the side, Zhi Ruo also had an upsurge of overflowing emotions. Something within her screamed that the black-robed man was telling the truth. How could it be?
Sun Yi had a serious look while watching everything. From his top judgment, he knew that his friend was telling the truth. Furthermore, it would explain a lot of Feng Hui's mysterious capabilities too.
