For the Bright Saintess, the Dragon King was a very formidable person, not because his cultivation was highly powerful, but because he possessed the heart of a fearless strongman! "Those who offend our Mighty Han, though they be far away, must be punished!" Although this was said about the mysterious mastermind behind the scenes, wasn't it also meant for the Bright Saintess to hear?

Investigating a mere Werewolf, did it really necessitate the Bright Saintess to take action herself? So, the Bright Saintess understood and fell silent!

At this time, the appearance of Ling Feng and Furry Ball provided the Bright Saintess with an opportunity for respite!

Temporarily shifting her focus to Furry Ball allowed her at least to stall for time, giving herself more ample opportunities to accomplish the secret mission given by the Pope!

However, could she really accomplish that mission? After sending Alessandro away, the Bright Saintess heaved a deep sigh.

The war that swept across the globe decades earlier gave the Papal Court of Light hope of entering Huaxia! At that time, Huaxia was beset by flames of war, coveted by all the great powers and on the brink of peril!

Almost everyone believed that Huaxia was already in the bag for the great powers, and underground forces such as the Bright Church and the Dark Cathedral also sought to take advantage of the situation!

But just at that moment, a mysterious expert from Huaxia made a move, successively defeating various underground forces and seizing their heirloom artifacts, forcefully expelling them from Huaxia!

It was during that time that the Bright Church's Scepter of Kings, the Dark Cathedral's Hand of Cain and the Round Table Knights' Sword Sheath of the Sword of the King were all taken away! With no other choice, those underground forces had to retreat from Huaxia!

In the half-century that followed, the Round Table Knights and the Dark Cathedral managed to retrieve their heirloom artifacts, but the Scepter of Kings of the Bright Church remained unaccounted for!

The last sighting was at an auction a year ago, where it was bought by a mysterious businessman. After extensive searching, the Bright Church finally determined that this businessman was from Huaxia, but exactly who he was, even the Bright Church could not trace!

This time, the Bright Saintess came with the purpose of retrieving the lost Scepter, a task of supreme importance, and also a mission difficult to complete in a short amount of time!

"The Scepter of Kings, I will certainly find it," declared the Bright Saintess with eyes gleaming with divine light and a look of determination on her face.

The next day, Ling Feng woke up from his sleep. Last night, he and Liu Tingyu had a fierce battle for three hundred rounds, only embracing each other and falling asleep in the early hours of the morning.

When Ling Feng woke up, Liu Tingyu was still curled up in his arms, like a docile little kitten.

Ling Feng tilted his head to watch Liu Tingyu's sweet sleeping face, gently caressing her smooth skin, feeling a warmth filling his heart.

But clearly exhausted, Liu Tingyu unconsciously pushed away Ling Feng's mischievous hand and turned over to continue sleeping.

Ling Feng smiled slightly, got dressed, and started making breakfast.

As soon as breakfast was ready, Liu Tingyu came out rubbing her eyes.

While eating breakfast, Ling Feng asked, "You're heading back today?"

Liu Tingyu paused in her movements and said with a smile, "Yes, it's only three days until New Year's, this year I'm going back to Jiangnan!"

A sense of loss flashed through Ling Feng's heart. Although his relationship with Liu Tingyu hadn't been established for long, Ling Feng really liked the feeling of having Liu Tingyu by his side. Now that Liu Tingyu was going back to her hometown, this made Ling Feng somewhat unwilling to part with her.

"Don't worry, I'll come back around the seventh or eighth day of the new year!" Liu Tingyu took Ling Feng's hand and said softly, "Ling Feng, it's not that I don't want you to meet my parents, after all, I need to talk to my family about this in advance, you..."

Ling Feng interrupted Liu Tingyu's words, "Do you think I, Ling Feng, am a petty man? I naturally understand, but I still hope that I can gain the recognition of your family as soon as possible. But don't worry, I will wait patiently!"

Liu Tingyu nodded slightly, with a hint of redness in her eyes.

After finishing the meal, Ling Feng helped Liu Tingyu pack her luggage, and then drove her to the airport.

The midday flight arrived quickly. Watching the beautiful Liu Tingyu, Ling Feng said warmly, "Take good care of yourself when you get home, and remember to call me when you arrive at Jiangnan!"

Liu Tingyu gently hugged Ling Feng and gave him a soft kiss on the cheek, "I will come back to be with you as soon as possible!"

As she walked away, Ling Feng touched his cheek, feeling a sense of loss in his heart.

The plane took off, carrying away Ling Feng's worries.

Whew! Ling Feng exhaled. It was just three days until the New Year, and suddenly, he felt very lonely.

Ring-ring, the telephone rang. Ling Feng looked down and saw it was a call from Yun Hanrui.

"Xiao Rui, what's up?" Ling Feng asked.

"Ling Feng, can you come to my company now?" Yun Hanrui's voice trembled slightly, "There are a few people here who want to see you!"

Ling Feng frowned, "I'll be right there. Don't panic and hold them off!"

Who would be looking for him through Yun Hanrui? Suddenly, the figures of Alessandro and Angeli flashed through Ling Feng's mind.

"Hmph, I hope you don't do anything excessive, otherwise I won't mind making the Papal Court of Light lose an Archbishop!"

In Yun Hanrui's office, the Bright Saintess and Alessandro sat on one side, while Furry Ball curled up at Yun Hanrui's feet, with a look of fear and a hint of wariness in its eyes.

"Indeed, it's been branded with a Spiritual Imprint!" The Bright Saintess glanced at Furry Ball and said indifferently, "To suppress such a ferocious Three-Headed Dog, this person must be very powerful. Even if he has not entered the Demi-God Domain, his spiritual power must have reached peak A-level!"

Yun Hanrui looked at the two of them and said solemnly, "I've already notified Ling Feng. Now you can tell me who you are!"

The Bright Saintess smiled faintly, "Miss Yun Hanrui, I am sorry to have involved you in this matter, but as a mortal, there are some things that are better left unknown! If this... Furry Ball is subdued by Ling Feng as you say, we just want to understand the situation, that's all!"

Yun Hanrui replied coldly, "I hope so!"

In fact, Yun Hanrui was very angry and frustrated. When she arrived at work early in the morning, she found these two people sitting in her office. Just as she was about to call for help, a flash of light appeared in the eyes of the Western woman, and she found that her body was no longer under her control!

However, their target was not her, but Furry Ball. Yun Hanrui realized that the man from yesterday had not given up. Following the hints from Furry Ball, Yun Hanrui decided to follow their orders and made a call to Ling Feng.

But Yun Hanrui also kept her wits about her. As she hung up the phone with Ling Feng, she instinctively dialed Mu Ziyi's number!
