Chapter 885 - 885 302 Change of Heaven and Earth Two in One

Chapter 885: Chapter 302: Change of Heaven and Earth [Two in One] Chapter 885: Chapter 302: Change of Heaven and Earth [Two in One] Card missions usually only occur for those with little or no martial prowess, or perhaps some skill but not yet formally initiated.

For example, they happen to ruffians and scoundrels.

However, during this period, the number of targets had surged, but so had the number of Heavenly Judge assassins arriving, resulting in an unprecedented spike in the number of targets killed, far more than ever before!

Especially the Iron Rank and Bronze Badge targets, nearly wiped clean.

But as the grand army embarked for the battlefield, the card missions exploded like snowflakes in a blizzard.

In light of this, Feng Yin felt puzzled, and on top of that, a strange feeling overcame him.

Zhuang Weiran and Hu Lengyue, upon hearing Feng Yin’s confusion, didn’t feel anything unusual. Instead, it was Dong Xiaoyan, feeling as baffled as Feng Yin and also enveloped by some inexplicable sensation.

But what was really going on here?

Could there be a deeper mystery?!

The Illusory Silkworm went about its business as usual every day, collecting energy, indifferent to other various matters.

Several days later, after many days of snow, it finally stopped, and the weather in Yuezhou showed faint signs of warming.

That afternoon.

Feng Yin returned from completing missions, having taken out several Gold Rank and Jade Rank targets as well as more than a dozen card missions, but he came back feeling an indigestible sullenness.

The Cat Emperor received a message from Peng Wanli: “It’s time for me to return.”

The Cat Emperor almost laughed aloud: “Mhm, it’s indeed about time.”

In recent times, Peng Wanli had been drooling over the Iron Heart Trees in the courtyard every day, but since he had said he was going away to take care of some business for a while, he couldn’t just come back and ask for the trees, could he?

That would be like slapping his own face, and as a respected elder, he couldn’t afford to lose face!

As a result, Peng Wanli felt tormented every day.

Finally feeling that enough time had passed, he eagerly brought it up.

The Cat Emperor informed Feng Yin of this matter, who was overjoyed and said, “Elder Peng’s arrival is perfect timing, I have some life questions and seek his esteemed guidance.”

Peng Wanli, with his cares and concerns, arrived very quickly.

Just a quarter of an hour after the Cat Emperor and Feng Yin discussed it, he arrived at the small courtyard, dusty from travel.

His face was warm as usual, and he spoke with deep feeling, “Rough mountains and harsh waters truly can’t compare to the liveliness of human world.”

In essence, he still carried himself with the air of a reclusive sage—though tainted by the mundane, the dust of the ordinary world didn’t cling to him, his gaze and footsteps both pristine.

The Cat Emperor, keenly aware of Elder Peng’s current state of mind, managed to suppress a laugh and greeted him, “Elder Peng, you’ve had a hard journey. Have you settled your affairs?”

“Hmm, I’d say they’re settled enough.”

Peng Wanli heaved a sigh of relief, “After all, the years have passed, and many species of creatures can no longer be found. Some have gone extinct, others have relocated,

This time I targeted specific ones, and I’ve had some gains, but those I didn’t find will likely be as difficult as finding a needle in a haystack in the future.”

This statement seemed quite reasonable, but in truth, it was just laying the groundwork for another trip out in the future.

The perceptive Cat Emperor replied softly, “After this, Elder Peng, you have a long way to go.”

Peng Wanli coughed, his cunning nature allowing him to instantly realize there was an unusual undertone in the Cat Emperor’s words, a hidden implication!

Hmph, is this to say that I, the old man, am dealing in trickery?

But if I’m dealing in trickery, isn’t it in collusion with you?

And isn’t it not just me who parades as a sage to fool the child, how can you so easily speak out against it?!

Feng Yin, who had been kept in the dark, laughed heartily, “I hope that in the future you will treat this place as your home, Elder. Going out to wander and sometimes coming back to rest your feet before heading out again always adds a layer of concern. Although one risks endless karma by getting involved with the secular world, as living beings, we still need a base, don’t we?!”

The Cat Emperor bowed his head to prepare tea, silent and expressionless.

Peng Wanli, caressing his beard, said sentimentally, “What you say resonates deeply with me. As long as you don’t find this old man troublesome, I will certainly visit often.”

Feng Yin was delighted, feeling his super bodyguard was nearly secured. He eagerly said, “How could it be bothersome? I can hardly wait to welcome you! I will prepare a place for you, it would be best if you could stay here frequently.”

Zhu Weiran and his spouse had avenged their great enmity, and it seemed the Ximen family faction wasn’t planning to pursue the matter. Thus, this karmic episode also came to an end, leaving them feeling carefree, as if they had rejuvenated by hundreds of years, no longer worn and decrepit.

Especially after going through initial nerves and finally letting go completely.

The most obvious sign was that Zhu Weiran now had to support his waist every day, swaying and twisting by the Iron Heart Tree.

In the large jar he carried, it was soaked with the potent medicine from Anping Continent, the Dragon Blood Goji.

This was considered a wonder drug not only for its well-known benefits for middle-aged men but also because the soaked water it produced looked like fresh blood. Gulping it with gusto, downing six or seven jars a day, it almost seemed as if someone was laughing while avidly drinking blood, a spectacle to behold.

Especially when Feng Yin, who had little genuine medical knowledge, saw it, he marveled, and after learning the nature of this wonder drug, he would always give Dong Xiaoyan a meaningful look whenever he saw it again.

This of course sparked Dong Xiaoyan’s curiosity, leading her to ask, “What are you looking at?”

“I’m admiring how beautiful you are, what else would I be looking at?”

At this statement, Dong Xiaoyan couldn’t help but beam with happiness, dismissing Feng Yin’s nonsensical talk and running off with a spring in her step.
