"Is this the antidote?" Liu Chengfeng looked at the yellow pill in his hand and asked Ling Feng, "How did you manage to get it?"

Ling Feng smiled faintly, "Uncle Liu, don't worry about the details of that. Let's just say I appealed to emotions and reason, and managed to convince Master to hand over the antidote."

Liu Chengfeng cast a deep glance at Ling Feng. He understood his junior brother's personality well—a classic case of not releasing the hawk unless the rabbit is sighted. If Master were truly so easily persuaded, he wouldn't have passed the title of Dragon King to Chengfeng in the past due to Ling Feng's stubbornness.

Since Ling Feng was unwilling to explain further, Liu Chengfeng refrained from pressing him, but he knew Ling Feng must have paid a hefty price to obtain it.

"What a stubborn kid," Liu Chengfeng thought while looking at Ling Feng, his eyes softening with gentleness.

"Hurry up and take it!" Ling Feng urged, "The longer the toxin stays in your body, the greater the damage it'll do!"

At this moment, Xia Wan'er hurried back. Her face lit up with excitement as she looked at Ling Feng and Liu Chengfeng, "Chengfeng, you got the antidote?"

Liu Chengfeng raised his hand, "Ling Feng just got it from my junior brother!"

Queen of Summer took a deep breath and said, "Now Ling Feng and I will serve as your protectors. Quickly expel all the toxins from your body."

Liu Chengfeng nodded, then swallowed the pill.

Boom! The moment the pill entered his mouth, Liu Chengfeng felt a symphony of thunderous roars within his body. The Inner Strength suppressed by the toxin surged like a raging sea, breaking through the toxin's confinement and quickly coursing through every meridian in his body.

Ling Feng and Xia Wan'er watched Liu Chengfeng nervously. Liu Chengfeng's complexion turned slightly red, and the aura around him grew stronger and stronger, until it reached its Peak. The Heavenly Earth Vitality in the surroundings furiously surged toward Liu Chengfeng.

"It seems I've underestimated Uncle Liu's strength!" Ling Feng quickly acted, forming a Protective Barrier around them.

Otherwise, the energy waves alone would've been enough to shatter the entire hospital room!

The Vital Energy poured into Liu Chengfeng's body, and the process lasted for a full fifteen minutes.

As soon as Liu Chengfeng opened his eyes, two streaks of golden light shot out from them.

With a crack, the Protective Barrier Ling Feng had erected exploded instantly, yet astonishingly, the surroundings remained untouched. This showcased Liu Chengfeng's precise control over his power, evidently having reached a Peak-level mastery.

"How do you feel now?" Xia Wan'er asked quickly, "Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?"

Liu Chengfeng exhaled deeply and said, "I feel fantastic, even better than before! Not only did the toxins fail to harm my nerves, but they even strengthened both my nerves and meridians. It's truly astonishing!"

"That's wonderful!" Xia Wan'er's eyes reddened, and she threw herself into Liu Chengfeng's arms, choking up as she said, "Chengfeng, you really scared me! Now that I see you're fully recovered, it's such a relief!"

Liu Chengfeng didn't expect Wan'er to leap directly into his arms, leaving him slightly awkward as he cast a glance at Ling Feng.

Ling Feng made a teasing face before quietly leaving the room.

Now that the couple was having a moment of true emotional intimacy, lingering as an obvious third wheel would be quite the faux pas!

"It's truly great that Uncle Liu has fully recovered! When Ting Yu hears this news, she'll certainly be overjoyed!" Ling Feng thought happily to himself, "Now that Uncle Liu's situation is resolved, it's time to deal with Xiao Rui's matter!"

Suddenly, Ling Feng's phone rang—it was Feng Tianyi calling.

"Brother Ling, I heard you've returned to the country. Where are you? Let's hang out!" Feng Tianyi's playful voice came over the phone.

Ling Feng rolled his eyes, "You've got quite the updates, huh? Alright, name a spot; it's been a while since we've caught up."

Feng Tianyi gave Ling Feng the address of a bar, and Ling Feng drove over.

Following Feng Tianyi's address, Ling Feng found the bar.

Since it was during daylight hours, the bar wasn't open for business yet. After dropping Feng Tianyi's name, the staff led Ling Feng to where he was waiting.

"Why would anyone go to a bar in the middle of the day?" Ling Feng said, sitting beside Feng Tianyi and casually grabbing a glass of alcohol from the table, taking a sip, "And where's Feng Xiao? Why are you here alone?"

"Tang Fengxiao will be here in a bit!" Feng Tianyi rolled his eyes and said, "Brother Ling, I'm getting married!"

Ling Feng almost spat out his drink, "What?! You're getting married? For real?"

Feng Tianyi huffed indignantly, "What do you mean by that, Brother Ling? Can't I get married? I'm the epitome of a virtuous young man these days!"

Ling Feng shook his head, "Why are you getting married so soon? Is it Sun Xiaofei?"

"Of course it's Xiaofei!" Feng Tianyi's expression softened at the mention of Sun Xiaofei. "Actually, we recently met each other's families. My father even came all the way from hometown to meet Xiaofei, and he was very pleased with her! Since we trust that we're each other's destined match, why not marry early and give each other stability and happiness?"

"Make sense, will you!" Ling Feng gave Feng Tianyi a light slap.

Feng Tianyi sighed and admitted, "Alright, I'll say it straight—Xiaofei's pregnant."

"Pregnant? That's great news!" Ling Feng's eyes lit up, instantly intrigued, "Boy or girl? How far along?"

"Just three months, still barely forming a baby shape—how could we tell the gender yet?" Feng Tianyi retorted, rolling his eyes, "Clearly, you haven't been a father before!"

Ling Feng's face darkened, "As if you've been one before!"

"Sigh!" Feng Tianyi sprawled onto the table, "You know, I wasn't prepared for this, and now I'm about to be a father. I can't shake this strange feeling in my heart!"

"What's strange about it?" Ling Feng glanced at Feng Tianyi cautiously, "You don't mean to say you don't want this child, do you?"

Feng Tianyi shot back irritably, "Brother Ling, what are you talking about? How could I not want this child? Sure, Xiaofei's pregnancy was unexpected, but neither of us has ever considered getting rid of the baby! It's just... I don't know why I keep feeling this way—like it's all a dream."

With that, Feng Tianyi heaved a sigh, "It's a feeling I don't dare tell Xiaofei about. She's the treasure of our family right now. If I mention it and she starts worrying or overthinking, I'd be a sinner in our house!"

"Your feelings are entirely normal," Ling Feng said calmly. "Your emotions right now are probably a mix of anticipation, excitement, and a touch of fear and unease, correct?"

Feng Tianyi's eyes lit up. He slapped his thigh, "Exactly! That's it! But I don't understand why I feel both anticipation and unease at the same time."

"It stems from fear of the unknown," Ling Feng explained lightly, "Your fear and unease arise precisely because of your anticipation. Just face your inner feelings directly—there's no need to panic. It's perfectly human."
