Ling Feng was taken aback, then smiled and said, "I didn’t mean it that way. Our relationship should be more like siblings, like family!"

"Oh."

Shui Ling nodded and said nothing.

Ye Zi quickly returned, having arranged everything after her departure.

So the three of them left together and returned to the bottom of that straight cave.

Afterwards, Ye Zi followed Ling Feng and Shui Ling and jumped onto Little Fei’s back, slowly rising into the air.

Although she was of a very high level, Ye Zi was still a bit nervous, and seeing this, Shui Ling held her hand.

Without saying anything, Ye Zi felt a sense of security and gratefully glanced at her.

Shui Ling smiled slightly and didn’t say anything.

Ling Feng watched from the side, silently approving, knowing she was helping him.

After reaching the ground, the three switched to the Ghost Dragon and returned to the city together.

Since Ye Zi had never experienced modern life, Ling Feng left her to get acquainted with it first, planning to take her to Earth later, then he left.

Afterwards, he found the Dragon King of the Dragon Clan and the leader of the Predators and explained the situation to them.

After finishing, Ling Feng continued, "I know you both suffered losses, but this was all a misunderstanding. The person who attacked you is also my friend, so I’d like to offer you some compensation on her behalf."

Upon hearing this, the Dragon King first spoke, "No need, we didn’t suffer much loss, let’s just let it go!"

However, the leader of the Predators had other thoughts, immediately saying, "It’s easy for you to say, but we did suffer casualties!"

"Alright, stop arguing. This compensation is something you must accept, whether you want it or not!"

Ling Feng said, then continued, "Later, I’ll have supplies sent over to you!"

"Thank you very much!" said the Dragon King.

The Predator leader also nodded, "In that case, let’s put what happened before behind us!"

"Alright, in addition..."

Ling Feng thought for a moment, then said, "Your previous conflicts can’t be completely resolved, so how about this: if either side wants to move to a different place, I can help you!"

Hearing this, the Dragon King and the Predator leader were both taken aback.

Seeing their surprise, Ling Feng continued, "No rush, take your time to think about it. You can also discuss it with your people, and let me know once you’ve decided!"

"Alright, I’ll go back and ask everyone’s opinion!" said the Predator leader.

After resolving the conflict between the two sides, Ling Feng returned to the city and found Ye Zi and Shui Ling.

By now, Ye Zi was already full of excitement, and upon seeing Ling Feng, she immediately asked, "Is life on Earth just as convenient as this?"

"It’s actually even better than here!"

Ling Feng smiled, then explained, "This city hasn’t been established for long, so many basic facilities are not yet in use!"

"Really?"

Ye Zi’s eyes sparkled, and she immediately said, "Can you take me to see it now?"

"Sure, of course!"

Ling Feng was more than willing, quickly nodding.

But unexpectedly, Ye Zi then turned to Shui Ling and said, "Sister Ling, will you come with me too?"

"This..."

Shui Ling hesitated for a moment, glancing at Ling Feng.

What could Ling Feng say? He could only nod and smile, "Alright, let’s all go together then!"

"Oh."

Shui Ling smiled and said nothing.

Then the three of them teleported back to Lingyun Island.

Upon arrival, seeing the scenery of the island, Ye Zi cheered and ran barefoot toward the beach.

Ling Feng felt helpless, thinking it wouldn’t be good to chase after her, so he said to Shui Ling, "I’ll leave it to you then."

"Understood."

Shui Ling nodded, understanding his meaning, and stepped towards Ye Zi.

At this time, Li Fei’er and Yang Guang on the island saw them and immediately ran over to ask, "Uncle, who is that woman?"

"It’s a bit complicated to explain."

Ling Feng smiled and briefly explained the situation.

After hearing it, Li Fei’er wasn’t too surprised, as there had been many astonishing things happening before.

With a laugh, she said to Ling Feng, "Uncle, this way you have even more people to rely on!"

"I haven’t thought about that for now, and we don’t lack people anyway. We just have ties, so we should help them when needed!" Ling Feng laughed.

"I think that woman is beautiful. Uncle, you probably have some thoughts about her, right?" Yang Guang tilted his head and asked.

The question hit Ling Feng’s thoughts right on mark, and his face turned red as he forcefully defended, "Of course not, you’re overthinking it!"

"Oh!"

Yang Guang seemed convinced but actually pouted, clearly not believing it.

"Alright then, you guys have fun, I’m heading over to Gu Li’s place!"

Ling Feng couldn’t stay any longer and turned to leave.

Yang Guang and Li Fei’er exchanged a look and suddenly realized!

This was the first time they’d seen Ling Feng so flustered.

...

Afterwards, Ye Zi’s activities had nothing to do with Ling Feng anymore. Wherever she went, she would cling to Shui Ling, asking her to accompany her. In the end, Ling Feng had no choice but to delegate the reception duties entirely to Shui Ling.

As for Ling Feng, he spent several days at Gu Li’s place, doing nothing but having tea.

Eventually, even Gu Li got fed up.

One morning, Ling Feng came again.

Seeing him enter, Gu Li immediately got up, "Boss, have a seat, I’m out of here!"

"Huh? Where are you going?" Ling Feng asked.

"I’m going to inspect the Moon Base situation, then check the Divine Mountain Base, and then look into the production situation at all the Ling factories!" Gu Li said.

Ling Feng was confused, looking at him, "Isn’t that my job?"

"Oh, you remember that, boss?"

Gu Li widened his eyes, "I thought you forgot, lounging around here having tea and not going anywhere else!"

"Uh..."

Ling Feng rolled his eyes, finally understanding his intent.

With a wry smile, he said, "If my being here makes you uncomfortable, then fine, I’ll go do my job!"

"Hurry up, time is running out. We still haven’t found anything!" Gu Li reminded him.

"Got it!"

Without looking back, Ling Feng waved his hand, muttering, "I wonder who’s the boss here, it’s always me doing all the work!"

Gu Li: "..."

Leaving Lingyun Island, Ling Feng spent some time at the Moon Base, understanding the current progress from the core team.

The preparation work was in full swing, with many Mechanical Soldiers and Magic Crystal Warriors being produced, and Lingyun was now newly equipped with heavy weapons.

As for the other areas Gu Li mentioned, Ling Feng wasn’t in the mood to deal with them. After getting a feel for the situation, he teleported back to Earth and quietly went to Shankou Village.
