Chapter 2666 - 2665: Chaos and Starlight
Little Chen, who was washing rice, looked somewhat puzzled at Ling Feng, who was laughing heartily. She didn’t understand why her benefactor suddenly appeared so delirious.
"Benefactor... what’s this for?"
Ling Feng, unable to hide his joy, immediately went over to hold Little Chen’s hand: "Thank you, Little Chen, thank you for your words, and thank your father, he truly is a wise man."
"Ah, no need to thank me, benefactor, actually I didn’t understand what you meant, but as long as you’re happy..."
Ling Feng finally realized he had lost his composure a bit, so he quickly released Little Chen’s hand and coughed twice: "Sorry, sorry, I was too excited, hope I didn’t scare you."
Little Chen quickly waved her hand: "No, no, although I don’t quite know what you’re so happy about, if the benefactor’s happy then Little Chen is happy too."
Ling Feng glanced at the girl’s eyes, and his heart warmed. It had been a long time since he felt such pure joy from someone else.
Afterwards, Ling Feng didn’t say much more, just sat quietly on a chair waiting for Little Chen to finish cooking, and all the while he was contemplating how to make himself gigantic.
But even after finishing the simple rice porridge, Ling Feng still hadn’t figured anything out.
Seeing Ling Feng holding the bowl with furrowed brows, Little Chen was also worried: "Benefactor, have you encountered some difficulties? Although I may not be much help, you can talk to me about it."
Ling Feng glanced at Little Chen, who genuinely wanted to help share his worries, but eventually could only give a bitter smile and say: "This matter is too complicated, it wouldn’t be of any use to tell you about it."
"Benefactor, don’t underestimate me. Don’t think I haven’t read many books, but I know just as much as you." Little Chen said with a bit of a pout, feeling "aggrieved".
Ling Feng, looking at Little Chen’s childlike demeanor, had to say:
"I’m thinking of a way to make my body very large, because I need to wield a weapon several hundred kilometers long. If my body isn’t big enough, I can’t control it."
Hearing such an unfathomable statement, Little Chen was first dumbfounded, then surprised, and then actually began to think seriously while resting her chin on her hand.
Looking at her stubborn appearance, Ling Feng supposed she really planned to come up with a solution and could only smile helplessly.
After a while, Little Chen suddenly clapped her hands and said:
"Benefactor, I’ve thought of it. Maybe you haven’t eaten enough. Perhaps if you eat a bit more, you’ll be fine. Are you full? Let me cook you some more rice."
Ling Feng, finding himself amused yet helpless, quickly waved his hands to indicate no need.
Little Chen immediately looked disheartened: "Oh, benefactor, in that case, I don’t know any other way."
"It’s okay, it’s okay, you don’t need to worry about these things. I’ll find a way myself." Ling Feng comforted, though he hadn’t really expected Little Chen to have a great solution.
Indeed, even though it was Little Chen’s words that had given Ling Feng his epiphany earlier, you can’t have an epiphany repeatedly, after all.
"What you need to do now is to take care of your parents. Your mother’s illness is almost cured by me, so you no longer have financial pressure,"
"So close the shop for a few days first, and continue running it when your father and mother are both better."
Little Chen nodded, and Ling Feng stood up: "Alright, when I have time, I’ll definitely come back to see you. I’m definitely going to eat more of your cooking, so be prepared."
Seeing Ling Feng about to leave, Little Chen was initially a bit sad but quickly looked up excitedly and asked: "Really? Benefactor, you’ll really come back?"
Ling Feng nodded with a smile: "Of course, it’s true."
"Yay!" Little Chen jumped around happily.
...
After leaving Little Chen’s home, Ling Feng wandered alone down the main road of the Royal City. With nothing particular on his mind, he finally decided to head to the top of the Royal City and summon the Chaos Sword.

Seeing the apparition lying quietly in his hands, Ling Feng felt somewhat troubled.
"Come out, Chaos," Ling Feng had no choice but to call.
A white-robed figure emerged from the Chaos Sword. This was the Sword Spirit of the Chaos Sword—Chaos. Ling Feng had known of its existence when he first obtained it and had communicated with it a few times.
"Why have you called me out?" Chaos’s voice was a bit indifferent.
"I now know how to wield you, which is to enlarge my body, and then you reveal your true form. I become a giant, and you are a massive sword stretching several hundred kilometers. Combined, we would be unstoppable, right?"
"Hmm, it makes some sense. So how are you planning to turn into a giant?"
"I called you out because I don’t know!"
"The original master was a descendant of the Giant Race, inherently gifted with strength and could even move entire planets with ease, naturally able to wield my full power,"
"But you, a mere human, though you have some means and abilities, are ultimately limited by physical constraints, unable to wield even a tenth of my power,"
"Now you want to know how to become larger, how would I know, I’m just an ordinary Sword Spirit." Chaos shook its head.
Ling Feng felt a little irritated, it seemed this guy didn’t know anything either, so why call it out.
"Is there truly no way?"
"There definitely is a way, I just don’t know it. Maybe you could try finding my master, he definitely has a solution, but as you know, my master has been missing for thousands of years."
"Talking nonsense, go away!" Ling Feng waved his hand to dismiss him, and Chaos, sensing it well, vanished on the spot.
Helplessly, Ling Feng could only stare at the Chaos Sword, dazing off. After reflecting for a moment, he finally made up his mind and entered the sword’s interior.
As the name suggests, inside the Chaos Sword is a realm of chaos, shrouded in mist, like an unformed world.
Ling Feng, familiar with the route, moved forward. It was not his first time inside, so he was unbothered by the direction and the mist.
After traversing the layers of mist, a dark purple star appeared in front of Ling Feng.
Such a dazzling star would normally attract people’s curiosity, but the caution on Ling Feng’s face kept him at a distance, as if sensing danger ahead.
Sure enough, the next moment the star exploded, turning into countless starlight fragments.
A woman in a blue-purple patterned robe appeared before Ling Feng. Her face showed no surprise at the bursting star, only indifference, as if the previous scene had nothing to do with her.
Yet, this calm woman displayed delight upon seeing Ling Feng, and she immediately rushed towards him.
Ling Feng felt a bit awkward but didn’t dare to evade.
Because this woman was a wondrous presence inside the Chaos Sword,
the Empress of Starlight.
