After learning that Mu Ying was severely injured, Shen Feng rushed back to Pudong to inquire about the situation.
After flying for two days, he finally returned to Pudong. As soon as he descended from the sky, someone came to greet him, "Lord Fengshen, you're finally back. Where have you been?"
Shen Feng quickly asked, "How is Mu Ying now? Is she alright?"
The person who greeted Shen Feng was an ability user from Pudong, who also had a special relationship with Shen Feng and Mu Ying. Therefore, he did not dare to slight Shen Feng at all, as Shen Feng was a formidable figure who had once conquered Taiyuan. If he were to anger Shen Feng over Mu Ying's matter, Pudong would suffer the same fate as Taiyuan.
So, the person quickly replied, "Lord Fengshen, Miss Mu Ying's injuries from the boiler explosion are very serious. She should be receiving proper treatment, but she refuses to take any medicine or cooperate with the treatment. She only said she wants to wait for you to return, so we are helpless. Please go and persuade the Ice Woman quickly."
Shen Feng found this very strange upon hearing this. He didn't understand why Mu Ying was not cooperating with the treatment. She wasn't the type of woman to throw tantrums.
So, Shen Feng quickly said, "Take me to see Mu Ying quickly. Also, tell me about the battle that took place at sea. I need to know exactly what happened!"
Then, a car arrived and took Shen Feng to the hospital. On the way, the ability user beside him gave a general account of what had happened. "...In short, after the boiler exploded, the fleet saw no hope of victory and had to retreat. Hundreds of people on the ship died, and among the ability users, Miss Mu Ying was the most severely injured. She directly bore the impact of the boiler explosion, and a large amount of steam sprayed onto her, causing severe burns."
"I didn't expect your final defeat not to be at the hands of the bugs, but at the hands of your own people," Shen Feng shook his head after hearing the account.
Previously, Shen Feng thought the bugs were very troublesome, which was why the people of Pudong had failed. But now it seemed that these people were not defeated by the bugs, but by their own people.
"By the way, where is that possessed bastard? I want to kill him!" Shen Feng asked later. Since the fleet was defeated by the possessed individual, he should find this person to exact revenge.
However, the person beside Shen Feng replied, "He is already dead. He died the moment the boiler exploded. He was cooked by the high-pressure steam at that moment. Now, most likely, only his bones are left, eaten by the bugs."
"So, I can't find anyone to take revenge on now!" Shen Feng felt very regretful. It was impossible to find someone to take revenge on now.
But the ability user from Pudong quickly said, "Lord Fengshen, please rest assured. We have captured Wu Kai's father. If you want to vent your anger, feel free to do so on this old bastard!"
Shen Feng was displeased upon hearing this and said, "I am not a cruel person. Why would I do something like punishing an entire family for the crimes of one person? It was his son who made the mistake, not this father. What is the point of killing an innocent person?"
The ability user quickly replied, "No, it's not what Lord Fengshen thinks. Pudong is not a place that likes to punish entire families. The reason we are taking action against Wu Hexing is because he has committed his own offense. His son, Wu Kai, who was possessed this time, had previously embezzled funds meant for repairing the city walls. This led to a section of the city wall by the sea becoming a shoddy construction. They even found someone to take the blame, but they couldn't hide it from the watchful eyes of many. In the end, it was discovered. Even if Lord Fengshen doesn't want to vent his anger on him, we won't let him go!"
"So that's how it is. I'll deal with this after I see Mu Ying. I wonder how she is doing!" Shen Feng said, shaking his head.
After that, the car sped all the way to the hospital. Shen Feng entered the ward and found Mu Ying covered in burns, with many parts of her body bandaged.
As soon as he approached the bedside, Shen Feng smelled a strong medicinal odor, which was very pungent. Mu Ying was very weak at the moment, with most of her face covered by bandages. She already had many scars on her face, and now with the burns from the steam, one could imagine that her face would be completely ruined after recovery.
"Mu Ying, I'm back. How are you feeling now? Can you hold on? If you can hold on, I'll give you an evolution crystal, and your body will become stronger!" Shen Feng quickly said to Mu Ying.
Upon hearing this question, Mu Ying looked at Shen Feng and said, "My body is very weak now. Don't forget what we agreed upon!"
Shen Feng gave a wry smile upon hearing this answer and then said to the others in the room, "Everyone, get out now. I'll call you if I need anything. Don't let anyone approach this ward!"
The nurses and doctors quickly left the ward upon hearing this, clearly understanding that the two powerful ability users needed private communication.
After everyone had left the room, Shen Feng said in a low voice, "Why haven't you forgotten about this? Your body is so weak that you can't even stand up. What you need now is treatment, not anything else!"
"Do you think I participated in the battle for no reason? It was precisely because I wanted to be injured and become weak. I originally planned to lose too much blood on the battlefield and become weak, but now it seems that although the process has become much more complicated, I have at least achieved my goal!" Mu Ying said with a smile.
Shen Feng shook his head helplessly and said, "Why go through all this trouble? If you want a child, why not get married and have a child properly? Why are you still bothering me?"
"Because I like your type. You are very similar to my ex-boyfriend. You are a man with a sense of justice, and you are very powerful. You naturally exude a heroic aura. I have been attracted to you for a long time, but due to various reasons, I only dared to stay in the mountains. But now, I can't help myself anymore. I know I can't be with you, but I just want a child. Is that not allowed?" Mu Ying said seriously.
Shen Feng was surprised by this. He didn't expect his charm to be so great that Mu Ying had been thinking about him for so long. It was not easy for her to express her true feelings now.
"Alright, alright. After I fulfill all your conditions, I will definitely give you a child. Now, quickly eat this evolution crystal and let your body recover!" Shen Feng said, taking out an evolution crystal from his body and handing it over.
"Consider this evolution crystal a gift to me, but I can't eat it now. I'll take it when I'm pregnant. To ensure my body remains in a weak state, I still have to suffer for a few more months!" Mu Ying said after taking the evolution crystal.
Shen Feng could only shake his head helplessly and said, "Alright, alright. As long as you are willing to suffer for a few months, I won't say anything more. However, at this time, I need to get revenge for you. The bug nest at sea has not been cleared yet, so I still need to find a way to destroy the Water Spider's nest!"
"Since you've agreed, quickly take me back to Jinling and wait for my ovulation period in half a month. Gu Yanxiao already knows about our relationship!" Mu Ying said later.
"Whatever you say. I'll find a car later and drive you back to Jinling!" Shen Feng said with a helpless shake of his head.
Shen Feng was at a loss for what to do with Mu Ying. No matter what he said, she wouldn't listen. Not only would she not listen, but she was also incredibly stubborn. Clearly, if she wanted a child, she could go to an orphanage. There were many abandoned infants in orphanages, but she insisted on having a child. Given her status as an ability user, having a child was inherently very difficult, yet she insisted on tormenting her body, even to the point of making it extremely weak, to have a chance of getting pregnant.
Afterward, Shen Feng, feeling helpless, found a car and took Mu Ying towards Jinling. As for how Pudong would deal with the sea bug nest, Shen Feng didn't want to bother with it. If he wanted revenge, he would choose his own way.
Upon arriving in Jinling, Shen Feng and Mu Ying went to Gu Yanxiao's hospital again. Gu Yanxiao was also helpless after learning what had happened, clearly not expecting Mu Ying to resort to such extreme measures.
"From now on, you need to maintain a state of weakness for at least a month until your body produces viable cells," Gu Yanxiao said to Mu Ying.
Mu Ying nodded and said, "No problem, I will definitely endure it."
Shen Feng handed Mu Ying over to Gu Yanxiao and then said, "I need to go out for a while and will likely return in a few days. This time, I plan to get revenge for Mu Ying. My abilities are not really suitable for underwater combat, so I need to find a helper."
"Then go with peace of mind. We have your little tadpoles here, and she will be protected during her time in Jinling. However, I would like to remind you, as a man, don't be too heartless!" Gu Yanxiao said to Shen Feng calmly.
Upon hearing this reminder, Shen Feng said helplessly, "Alright, alright. I don't need you to remind me about this. Just do your job."
After settling Mu Ying, Shen Feng once again used his abilities to fly into the sky and headed north.
Shen Feng's objective was simple: he wanted to go to the Taihang Mountains to find Yue Hengyi and ask for his help, as ordinary ability users were not capable of underwater combat.
In the past, Fang Qinghao was a water-element ability user. He was invincible underwater, and ordinary people could not harm him. Unfortunately, he died at sea a few years ago, killed by Li Keyi. When asked why, Li Keyi always gave vague answers and never clearly explained the situation.
Shen Feng did not know any other water-element ability users. Although others existed, they were either too weak or not in China, making it difficult to find them. However, Yue Hengyi was different. Yue Hengyi's abilities could be used even across vast oceans. As long as he activated his gravity field, no matter where the enemy hid, they would be affected.
So, Shen Feng went directly to the Taihang Mountains to seek Yue Hengyi's help. However, when he landed at Guanyin Mountain Village, he heard that Yue Hengyi had already left a long time ago.
Bai Fengying managed a weak smile upon seeing Shen Feng and then said sadly, "He left after putting the cryo-chamber in the cellar. He's been gone for about a month. I don't know if he's tired of me. I told him before that it wasn't a good thing for him to regain his memories."
"Don't worry, he will never abandon this cryo-chamber. He's just leaving temporarily. He will definitely come back after some time!" Shen Feng quickly comforted her.
Shen Feng had heard before that Yue Hengyi planned to go to Japan after returning to the mountains, as there was a woman waiting for him there. But now, Shen Feng had made a wasted trip.
"Since Yue Hengyi is not in the mountains, I will have to set off on my own. Take care of yourselves!" Shen Feng said later.
After saying this, Shen Feng prepared to leave, but someone suddenly blocked his way.
