"Hiss!" Ling Feng's eyes bulged as Miao Yuting's little hand almost made him lose control.

"Why is it still twitching?" Miao Yuting furrowed her brows, somewhat puzzled.

Bai Feifei covered her mouth, quickly pulling Miao Yuting along, "Tingting, Ling Feng just woke up, he must be hungry. Let's go get him something to eat!"

As she spoke, Bai Feifei dragged Miao Yuting out of the sickroom, leaving Ling Feng lying on the bed in slight embarrassment.

"Alas, to think that I, Blood-Handed Asura, once so clever and wise, have lost so much face!" Ling Feng looked at his still spirited little brother and couldn't help but shake his head, "However, with my current recovery rate, I'll need at least a month to get back to normal. It's really headache-inducing, how am I going to explain this to Ting Yu when I get back?"

Upon hearing that Ling Feng had awoken, the Gu King hurried over.

"Elder Miao, did we get the Nine Nether Blood Lotus?" As soon as Ling Feng saw the Gu King, he quickly asked.

The Gu King smiled wryly, shaking his head as he recounted the situation to Ling Feng.

"What? It was snatched away?" Ling Feng became anxious, "Who on earth took it? Could it be Redick?"

The Gu King shook his head again, "We also don't know. The opponent's methods were unpredictable, and before they made their move, I actually had no sense of it at all! Moreover, after he took it, we couldn't find any clues, so..."

At this point, the Gu King looked at Ling Feng with some apology, "Don't worry, I will find another way to save your life!"

Ling Feng didn't speak, but his heart was filled with immense disappointment. He was so close to having a cure for Liu Tingyu and it slipped through his fingers!

"Damn it, don't let me find out who stole my Nine Nether Blood Lotus, otherwise, I definitely won't let you off!" Ling Feng swore silently in his heart.

Because Ling Feng had overused his Gene Lock, he had been resting in bed for these past few days, only managing to slowly stand up and walk around after a week.

During this period, members of the Dragon Valor Squad also came to visit Ling Feng one after another, which made Ling Feng feel both touched and helpless. Had he really become so powerless in their eyes?

"Ling Feng, I've made up my mind, I'm going to stay!" Ye Chen sat in front of the sickbed and said to Ling Feng softly.

"Stay?" Ling Feng frowned slightly, "What do you mean?"

This time, the mission of the Dragon Valor Squad was to strike at drug traffickers and deliver a heavy blow to those forces that provoked Huaxia. It could be said that they had now overfulfilled their mission. Ninety percent of the forces in the Golden Triangle had vanished in those missile strikes, and because of this, the remaining forces in the Golden Triangle would no longer trust the Myanmar Military.

After the Dragon Valor Squad returns to Yanjing, it will face disbandment. But Ye Chen said he wants to stay, could he possibly...

Ling Feng had a guess in his heart and couldn't help but sigh, "Ye Chen, we've already avenged Jasmine and Monkey. You..."

Ye Chen interrupted Ling Feng, "I know all this, but now I'm the only one left from the original Dragon Valor Squad. I must stay to reassemble the squad! The spirit and will of the Dragon Valor Squad cannot end with me! And... And I want to stay here, to calm my heart!"

Seeing the calm expression on Ye Chen's face, Ling Feng knew he had made up his mind! Although Ye Chen was the legitimate son of the Ye Family and had the family's mission on his shoulders, Ling Feng understood that Ye Chen's determination was unwavering. Once he decided on something, he would surely accomplish it!

"If you want to do it, then go ahead and do it," Ling Feng sighed, "But I don't want to see a Ye Chen who has fallen from grace. The Ye Chen in my heart is always proud and full of confidence."

"Don't worry, I won't fall," Ye Chen said, "When I feel that the new Dragon Valor Squad has inherited our spirit, I'll come back. Ling Feng, I might not come to see you off when you leave!"

Ling Feng nodded his head, understanding why Ye Chen would say such a thing.

...

After a few more days of rest, although Ling Feng still felt weak, he could at least move normally, so the date for his return to Yanjing was set.

Perhaps because of the previous misunderstandings, these past few days, whenever Ling Feng saw Miao Yuting, she always seemed startled, casting him a shy glance before quickly turning and leaving.

Without Miao Yuting's clinginess, Ling Feng actually felt a hint of loss, which made him chuckle to himself.

As the night grew deep, Ling Feng lay in bed, reflecting on the events of these past days, pondering over and over who might have stolen the Nine Nether Blood Lotus.

Redick, Alpha, and even Daphne were all possibilities! His heart still ached at the thought of something within his grasp being taken away, "If we can't find the Nine Nether Blood Lotus, we'll have to rely on Aiven and the others. I wonder how they're progressing!"

At that moment, the door to the sickroom made a soft noise.

Ling Feng's eyes narrowed as a familiar scent wafted in; it was Miao Yuting, the girl!

"What is she doing here so late?" Ling Feng squinted his eyes, pretending to be asleep to see what she intended to do.

Miao Yuting tiptoed to the side of Ling Feng's bed like a little cat. Seeing Ling Feng with his eyes closed, seemingly deep in sleep, she sighed in relief and sat down beside his bed.

"Brother Feng, this time when you return to Yanjing, I might not be able to go back with you!" Miao Yuting's soft voice reached him, "My grandfather has told me about your situation. I have to stay in Miao Village to learn Gu Technique from my grandfather. I will definitely find a way to cure your body!"

Listening to Miao Yuting's determined voice, Ling Feng felt moved, and his heart softened.

"I really like you, Brother Feng! Apart from my grandfather, you were the first person to protect me with your life," Miao Yuting murmured, "I know you always thought that my affection for you was because of the Love Gu, but I know it's not! Even with the Love Gu, it couldn't have taken effect this quickly. The reason I've been clinging to you is that I truly like you!"

"But I am a girl, after all; I can't be so unreserved!" Miao Yuting reached under Ling Feng's blanket, pulling out his hand, "So I pretended it was because of the Love Gu. That way, I could stick by your side with a valid reason, and you wouldn't think of me as a frivolous girl."

"I have never liked a boy before, you're the first one to make my heart flutter!" Miao Yuting placed her face against Ling Feng's hand, whispering to herself, "I'm really worried that if I'm not by your side, you might forget about me. Will you still remember that there's a girl in Miao Village who likes you very, very much?"

Ling Feng's heart trembled, faced with Miao Yuting's youthful affections, he didn't know how to respond! He wanted to give her a promise but didn't know how to begin.
