Chapter 2653 - 2652: Something Happened
Facing the girl’s pair of curious big eyes, Ling Feng smiled and said, "Going to an independent space that exists in outer space!"
"Wow!"
Miao Miao’s eyes glowed with admiration, and then she said, "You’re really incredible. There’s been no news of you recently on Earth, I didn’t expect you had already gone to outer space!"
"Uh..."
Ling Feng smiled, suddenly unsure of what to say, and just told her, "If you can pass Ah Min’s test, and then join the core of Ling Corporation, you’ll also have the opportunity to visit other planets in the future!"
"Yes, that’s exactly what I want. Although I’m quite a homebody, I am full of fantasies about the stars!" Miao Miao jumped with joy, as if she had already joined Ling Corporation.
Seeing that it was getting late, Ling Feng smiled at her and said, "Alright, it’s so late, you’d better go home first."
"Okay, goodbye Mr. Ling!"
Miao Miao nodded and waved at him before bouncing away.
Watching her back, Ling Feng sighed inwardly, feeling that youth is indeed good!
Although he’s not old, after experiencing so many things, his mindset has matured beyond people several decades older.
After watching the girl walk far away, Ling Feng turned around and walked towards the hotel.
He wasn’t far to begin with, and arrived at the place in over ten minutes, then directly went upstairs back to his room.
Seeing that it was already midnight, Ling Feng leaned on the sofa for a short nap, until a streak of dawn appeared at the oriental horizon.
Before the sun rose, Li Xiaonian’s phone call came through.
Although it was a strange number, seeing its origin is here, Ling Feng knew it must be her!
Sure enough, upon connecting, Li Xiaonian’s cheerful voice came through: "Hey, are you awake?"
"Of course!"
Ling Feng nodded, then asked, "Are you prepared?"
"Yes!"
Li Xiaonian said, then chuckled softly, "But after being ready, I must ask whether this Transport Fleet Captain has time!"
"Sis, don’t say that, I remember the previous owner of this title wasn’t anything good!"
Hearing Li Xiaonian’s cheerful tone, Ling Feng couldn’t help but relax, and started to joke too.
"Alright, no more kidding, where are you now? Shall we come to find you?" Li Xiaonian asked.
"No, it’s better I come to you guys. Is your home all prepared?" Ling Feng asked.
"Everything’s ready, once you arrive, we can set off immediately!" Li Xiaonian said.
"Okay!"
Ling Feng nodded, got the address, then got up and went downstairs, checked out of the room and walked towards the hotel entrance under the morning sun.
After a twenty-minute ride, he reached a residential area, and upon entering saw Li Xiaonian holding her sister’s hand waiting for him, Ling Feng stepped up and asked, "Have things like the elderly’s work and the child’s education been arranged?"
"My parents retired due to illness last year, focusing on sending Nian Nian to school at home, and now Nian Nian is also on vacation, so there’s nothing to worry about!" Li Xiaonian said.
"That’s good!"
Ling Feng nodded upon hearing that, at least for the short term, their family can live without worries for a while in the Vermilion Bird Kingdom.
When they arrived at Li Xiaonian’s home, he saw two packed suitcases on the ground, which was basically all the preparation their family had done.
Facing the grateful eyes of Li Chaoyang and his wife, Ling Feng smiled, stopping their words of gratitude, and then said, "No need for polite words, it’s perhaps fate that I met Sis Nian, giving your family a chance to reunite, also don’t have any concerns, after arriving in the Vermilion Bird Kingdom, you’ll all be relatives of the royals!"
Upon hearing this, Li Chaoyang chuckled awkwardly, "Never imagined such a thing would happen in this lifetime, it still feels like I’m dreaming!"
"Indeed, when such things happen, anyone would find it hard to accept for a while."
Ling Feng laughed and said, "Fortunately, good days will last long; take your time to adjust!"
Knowing everyone was a bit eager, he didn’t say much more. He helped put the things into the Space Ring, then teleported the family away. After a transfer, they reached Lingyun Island.
Without stopping, they underwent several more teleports, finally arriving at the Space-time Vortex on Demon Star.
Once through here, the world of Xuanxu Realm appeared in sight, and seeing the desolate surroundings, Li Chaoyang and his family were stunned.
Meanwhile, a few soldiers guarding the area approached, and upon seeing Li Xiaonian, kneeled on the ground immediately, shouting "Your Majesty the Queen," their voices spreading far.
At this moment, Li Xiaonian had already regained the queen’s demeanor, and said lightly, "Alright, stand up, you’ve all worked hard guarding here!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
After the soldiers stood up, they all slightly lowered their heads, not daring to look at her.
And Li Chaoyang and his wife were dumbstruck seeing their daughter like this for the first time.
Seeing this, Ling Feng said, "Queen, should we return to the Royal City without delay?"
"Okay!" Li Xiaonian nodded.
Then Ling Feng summoned Little Jin, and holding Nian Nian, jumped onto its back, also pulled up Li Chaoyang and his wife.
Immediately, Little Jin spread its wings skyward, and flew far away in an instant.
As soon as they got on, while Little Jin was flying, Li Chaoyang took a tumble.
Luckily, its back was wide enough, so rolling around was not a problem, allowing Li Chaoyang’s family of three to sit securely without any accidents.
During the flight, Li Xiaonian dropped her queenly demeanor again, giggling as she pointed to the land below introducing it to her parents.
But when they reached the Royal City and landed, she resumed her regal presence.
As a large group of servants rushed up.
The environment of the Royal City is incomparable to Huaxia’s Imperial Palace, and Li Xiaonian is an extremely diligent queen, making the place quite simple.
But Li Chaoyang and his wife were astonished, standing there stiffly not knowing what to say.

Fortunately, the servants were quite perceptive and soon swarmed up.
Just as accommodations were about to be arranged for her parents, someone ran over hurriedly from a distance and knelt right in front: "Queen, you’ve finally returned!"
Li Xiaonian was taken aback, glanced at him: "Wei Dong, I’ve only been gone a little over a day, why the rush?"
"Your Majesty, something happened in the Royal City last night, the city commander’s main general was killed!" Minister Wei Dong announced.
"What?"
Li Xiaonian’s face dropped, and she asked sternly, "Has the cause been found, who did it?"
"To report Your Majesty, the deputy city commander is already investigating, but..."
Wei Dong swallowed nervously, a trace of embarrassment flashed in his eyes: "The situation is a bit unique..."
