52: Chapter 52 The Guidance of Fate
However, Lin Feng was unaware of what she was thinking, naturally assuming that it was still Nan Qiuqiu sitting beside him, which was why he reached out to stop her.
However, whether it was an accident or a coincidence, he had left quite an impression in Vina's heart.
"It's okay, I can still drink!"
Vina smiled faintly, but when she raised her wine glass, her hand was already empty, and she looked at Lin Feng with a stunned expression.
At this moment, he had already finished Vina's glass of wine. His face was flushed red, his eyes wandered with a touch of murky haziness, and his gaze towards Vina was somewhat blurred.
"Young ladies shouldn't drink so much; it's not good for your health..."
Lin Feng, bearing a hint of drunkenness, reached out and patted her head. Then, he snatched her wine glass and began drinking from it himself, the original large wine bowl having long disappeared.
Uh...
Vina's gaze was somewhat stunned, but the next moment, a flush quietly spread across her face. She picked up another wine glass and began drinking with him.
The distance between the two grew smaller as they drank. In the end, Vina's entire body was almost hanging on Lin Feng, and he didn't mind at all, simply assuming it was Qiuqiu's usual antics again.
At the head of the table, Sect Master Du Busi watched Lin Feng and Vina drinking together with a chuckle, but behind that smile, there was a hidden, unknown sorrow.
He grabbed his wine glass, drank it all in one go, and raised his eyes to gaze into the distance. In the sky at this moment, the figure of his Elder brother, Du Bisi, seemed to appear.
"Elder brother, I have found the person you were waiting for..."
...
As the drinking continued, the other Body Sect Elders fell one by one and were helped away to rest by the Body Sect Disciples. Even Sect Master Du Busi quietly departed, leaving only Lin Feng and Vina at the table.
In his daze, Lin Feng suddenly felt that the number of people moving around him was decreasing. It felt as if something soft was pressing against his chest, and a rich scent of wine mixed with a delicate fragrance lingered at the tip of his nose, instantly making him jolt and his drunkenness dissipate at once.
A flash of clarity crossed Lin Feng's eyes. He lifted the head of the person on his chest, only to discover that it wasn't Qiuqiu, but Vina.
Just then, Vina opened her eyes, which were hazy with drunkenness. Her stunningly beautiful face was brushed with tenderness, as if she were looking at her beloved, and the distance between them kept closing.
Lin Feng shuddered, the drunkenness instantly clearing from his body. He raised his hand to cover Vina's cheek and said softly, "Young Miss Vina, you are drunk... Let me take you back!"
Vina reached out her hand, gently pushed it aside, and smiled, "Alright then... take me back. If you're interested, you can come to my room and sit for a while."
Lin Feng was covered in black lines, muttering under his breath, "That's really not necessary..."
However, when he helped Vina stand up, he caught sight of Qiuqiu sleeping soundly on the table, and his face was full of speechlessness.
Now this is great, how is he supposed to carry two?
After thinking about it, Lin Feng shouldered one on each side and hurried towards their quarters, as if afraid of being seen...
After dumping the two women onto their beds and locking the door, Lin Feng finally circulated his Soul Power to force the last bit of drunkenness out of his body before walking back to his own room.
He first threw himself onto the bed to lie down for a while, then sat up cross-legged, transforming into an emotionless Cultivate machine.
...
In the Lake of Life, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion gazed towards the direction of the Heavenly Soul Empire, her eyes thoughtful.
A tall man quietly appeared behind her and asked, "What's wrong? Is there something bothering you?"
The Three-Eyed Golden Lion shook her head, her voice somewhat ethereal, "I felt the call of fate. In that place, it seems like something is calling out to me!"
The man's expression changed. He looked into the distance, his face becoming extremely grave, "That is a human city. What kind of call is it?"
The Three-Eyed Golden Lion shook her head, "It is not just a single call, but something that is calling to me at every moment. If I can obtain it, my growth period will be greatly shortened."
The man's face showed shock, but it quickly turned gloomy. He instinctively believed this was another one of those humans' plots, intending to lure the Auspicious Beast over to harm her.
"No, humans are too cunning and cannot be trusted at all. Not long ago, a human force called the Body Sect snuck into the core area and hunted a hundred-thousand-year spirit ring. You will be in danger..."
The tall man refused flatly, but upon thinking that something beneficial to the Auspicious Beast must be extraordinary, he softened his tone:
"What is it that is attracting you? Tell me, and I will bring it back..."
A flash of confusion crossed the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's eyes, "I don't know. The guidance fate gave me is in that direction. Perhaps only after I get closer will I be able to know exactly what is calling to me!"
Di Tian's expression was grave, his body pacing back and forth beside the Auspicious Beast, his expression wavering. After a moment, he finally made up his mind and said:
"Since that's the case, I will accompany you. We must determine what the source of that call is; this matter is of great importance!"
The Auspicious Beast nodded. A moment later, her pupils suddenly widened, "Wait, the trajectory of fate has changed..."
Di Tian's expression tightened, and he asked seriously, "What change?"
A dazzling golden light suddenly rose in the Auspicious Beast's eyes, and the third eye on her forehead quietly opened, emitting a glaring red glow.
"Fate shows that the source of that call will move towards the Far North!" the Auspicious Beast said slowly.
"The Far North? Isn't that the Snow Empress's home turf..."
Di Tian pondered for a while, and his serious expression gradually softened. Since it concerned the Far North, it probably didn't have much to do with humans.
"Alright, in a few days, I will take you to the Far North to find the source of that call!"
The Auspicious Beast nodded in agreement. In her scarlet vertical pupils, all things in the world seemed to be reflected. Everything has Luck, and the denser the life in a place, the stronger the power of Luck.
What exactly was that power of fate calling to her? ...
Several hours later, Lin Feng opened his eyes. Something crossed his mind, and he sighed softly before walking out of his room.
The stars twinkled in the night sky, shining with brilliant radiance.
Lin Feng narrowed his eyes, looking up at the stars in the sky. He felt a sudden intuition; today, the stars seemed unusually glaring?
He looked towards where the starlight was flickering, and a rare look of gravity appeared on his face, simply because that place was the Star Dou Great Forest.
Lin Feng frowned. For some reason, his heart rate was abnormal, as if a voice was gently calling from the bottom of his heart, yet he didn't know what it was.
This feeling was fleeting, as if it had only existed for a moment before vanishing without a trace. He shrugged, suddenly feeling an urge to return to the inner palace.
Saying that, he left immediately. Lin Feng chuckled, his body turning into an afterimage as he rushed towards the direction of the inner palace.
