It has to be said, Bana's identity as the Thai National Teacher's disciple gave her a chance to barely hang on.

However, her two personal guards were not so lucky.

Ling Feng's two slaps earlier had already gravely injured them, making it impossible for them to return to their peak strength in this lifetime. That could be considered a lesson for Bana.

"By the way, what did you give Bana to eat at the end?" Yun Hanrui asked curiously.

Ling Feng chuckled and said, "Nothing much, just a sour plum candy. Just to scare her."

Yun Hanrui breathed a sigh of relief: "Ling Feng, let's go home. I'm starving!"

Ling Feng gently ruffled Yun Hanrui's silky hair and said, "Let's go. I'm starving too. Everything's finally resolved today, let's head home."

Before leaving, Ling Feng glanced at the hotel where Bana was staying: "I hope you'll be sensible about this. You wouldn't really think it was just sour plum candy, would you?"

Back at the villa, Liu Tingyu and the others had already prepared the meal.

That night, Yun Hanrui put on the sexy lingerie she had bought earlier and sneaked into Ling Feng's bedroom.

Ambushed by Yun Hanrui, Ling Feng quickly turned the tables, leaving her utterly defeated.

When morning came, Yun Hanrui woke up only to realize Ling Feng had already gotten up, and even Liu Tingyu and the others were nowhere to be seen.

"Oh no, it's already so late." Yun Hanrui checked the time and hurriedly got up. The two of them had fought until the latter half of the night before sleeping, which explained Yun Hanrui waking up so late.

Ring ring. Yun Hanrui's phone rang. As she answered it, Ling Feng's teasing voice came through: "Sweetheart, just waking up now? Are you trying to steal a few moments of leisure?"

Yun Hanrui pouted: "What are you talking about? It's all your fault. I'm not talking to you now, I need to head to work."

"Skip work today. Stay home and rest." Ling Feng said, "I've already spoken to Ting Yu on your behalf…"

"Ah…" Yun Hanrui froze: "So Ting Yu knows?"

"Yup. When you came over last night, you didn't close the door properly, and your voice was so loud they all heard it." Ling Feng said with a chuckle.

"Oh my god, this is so embarrassing." Yun Hanrui felt her face burning like it was on fire.

Even though they had already shared the same bed, she still felt so shy. Ling Feng shook his head, finding her hard to understand.

"By the way, I need to tell you something. The Chen Family has already been taken into custody and investigated by the Dragon Group. Within a week, the Asia-Pacific Biotech Group will be entirely acquired. Before that happens, you'll need to organize the personnel to take over the Chen Family's research team…"

After giving Yun Hanrui a few instructions over the phone, Ling Feng hung up. Initially flustered, Yun Hanrui failed to notice anything unusual about Ling Feng.

Back at the Dragon Group Base, Ling Feng returned to the Dragon King Long Guangyi's office, where he said with a touch of resignation, "Master, do you really want to push me out like this? I've only been back for a few days."

Long Guangyi chuckled lightly and said, "What's the matter? Feeling dissatisfied? As the old saying goes, 'When the master needs something done, the disciple must bear the labor.' I'm here working myself dizzy while you're on Panlong Mountain enjoying yourself without a care. Isn't that a bit inappropriate?"

Ling Feng smiled bitterly and said, "Even so, isn't this a bit too rushed? I've only been back for a few days—can't you at least give me a bit of time to rest?"

Long Guangyi said leisurely, "Sure. I'll give you three days to prepare. After three days, you can set out. How's that sound?"

Ling Feng replied with a hint of grievance, "What if I say no?"

Long Guangyi didn't respond but simply gave Ling Feng a calm gaze.

Ling Feng shook his head: "Fine, I got it. I'll follow the arrangements. If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave."

Saying this, Ling Feng turned and left without any unnecessary hesitation.

After Ling Feng left, Liu Chengfeng walked in and said with a smile, "Junior Brother, aren't you afraid Ling Feng might actually refuse?"

Long Guangyi sighed and said, "Although I haven't known Ling Feng for long, I understand he's not the type to do that. Honestly, I'm growing increasingly eager to make him my true disciple instead of this superficial relationship. But…"

"But Ling Feng would rather reject the Dragon God Technique cultivation method than have too deep of a connection with you," Liu Chengfeng said with a grin.

Long Guangyi was slightly taken aback and retorted irritably, "Senior Brother, are you here just to make fun of me?"

Liu Chengfeng chuckled and ignored Long Guangyi's complaints: "Want me to discreetly drop some hints and help persuade Ling Feng?"

Long Guangyi snorted and said, "Forget it. I know how to train my own disciple. I refuse to believe there's anyone in this world who can fully reject the allure of the Dragon God Technique. Ling Feng—he's a disciple I'm determined to have."

Liu Chengfeng shrugged. "Suit yourself. But I reckon your chances aren't great. By the way, does this mission have to rely on Ling Feng?"

Long Guangyi shook his head: "This mission isn't particularly difficult—there are plenty of people in the Dragon Group who can handle it. But I still feel more confident leaving it to Ling Feng. Besides, I have a hunch this mission isn't as simple as it seems in the intelligence report."

Liu Chengfeng picked up the intel report on the desk and said, "The International Special Abilities Organization has always adhered to a peaceful, low-key development approach. For them to issue a rare call for assistance this time—is there something fishy about it?"

"It's hard to say right now. But since the International Special Abilities Organization claims to have found traces of the Red-eyed White Tiger, we have to investigate this matter," Long Guangyi said thoughtfully.

The Red-eyed White Tiger is a mythical Divine Beast of the South American continent, known for its mastery of slaughter and death. Legend has it that they can only be found among the wreckage of blood-strewn Death Valley.

But this is only a legend—no one has ever truly seen the shadow of a Red-eyed White Tiger. Recently, however, members of the International Special Abilities Organization allegedly discovered traces of the Red-eyed White Tiger on the South American continent.

Even more terrifying, the two members who discovered the Red-eyed White Tiger were attacked by it. Just before dying, they managed to transmit its image.

"Two A-grade peak Psychic Masters managed to hold out less than three seconds under the White Tiger's attack. If this is true, it's unbelievably horrifying."

A glimmer of unusual concern flashed in Long Guangyi's eyes: "I suspect this Red-eyed White Tiger might be a scheme from Hell's Gate—or perhaps some other mysterious organizations are beginning to emerge?"

Hearing this, Liu Chengfeng's expression grew serious: "If that's the case, we truly need to investigate this thoroughly. Let's hope it's just your needless worry."

Long Guangyi sighed deeply: "Let's hope so."
