Tomb Raider: Call Me Dragon Vein Cleaner

Chapter 315 Returning to Changbai Mountain

"I can't say where it came from, although this Corpse Beetle Pill is slightly inferior to the Longevity Pill."

But there are only two in this world. I gave one to Xiaohua, and the other to Axiang—her last chance for immortality.

Cheng Feng explained calmly.

The three women couldn't help but sigh and rub their foreheads. Cheng Feng was really willful. This was a chance to live forever, and he just gave it all away to a tiger.

"When Little Flower's mother entrusted it to you, it was truly the best decision she ever made in her life."

Chen Wenjin couldn't help but sigh.

Ah Xiang, who had taken the Corpse Beetle Pill, woke up after only one night of deep sleep. Cheng Feng and the three women asked Ah Xiang if there was anything unusual about her body.

After receiving a negative answer, Cheng Feng and the other two women understood that the Corpse Beetle Pill had no effect other than granting immortality.

Hair will still fall out, but it will continue to grow back as before.

"We missed the New Year's Eve dinner yesterday, so let's make it up to Ah Xiang today."

With that, Cheng Feng led his family to the living room for dinner.

At this moment, Zhang Qiling, dressed in black and carrying the Black Gold Ancient Sword, walked into the gate of Cheng Feng's house.

Cheng Feng, who was eating, looked out the window and then said in surprise:

"Why is Zhang Qiling here on the first day of the Lunar New Year? Is he here to offer New Year's greetings?"

A moment later, Zhang Qiling arrived at the door, and the door opened by itself as soon as he raised his hand.

Cheng Feng's voice came from inside:

"Come in, we're eating right now, come and have some with us."

Zhang Qiling silently walked into the house, closed the door, and headed towards Cheng Feng's dining room.

The four women didn't stand on ceremony with Zhang Qiling. After greeting him, they invited him to sit down and eat.

A few minutes later, everyone was seated on the sofa in the living room, and Cheng Feng finally spoke, asking:

"You came here on the first day of the Lunar New Year, you must have something to do, right?"

Zhang Qiling nodded and said:

“I went to Tibet and some things came back to me that I’d like to discuss with you.”

"Tell me more specifically."

Cheng Feng asked a question, and then Zhang Qiling began to talk about his trip to Tibet in a calm tone.

It turns out that Zhang Qiling retrieved his stored memories from the Jila Lama Temple in Motuo, Tibet.

He also recalled the Zhang family's mission and what happened in the Kingdom of the Queen Mother of the West.

"I would like to ask you to help guard the bronze door. If anything inside gets out, a terrible disaster will occur."

Finally, Zhang Qiling revealed the purpose of his visit.

Cheng Feng remained expressionless after hearing this. Calculating the time, he realized that there were only a few years left before the final event, and it was time to make some arrangements in advance.

"Then you should be prepared to work for another ten years."

"it is good."

Zhang Qiling agreed without hesitation; he had grown quite comfortable living with Cheng Feng over the years.

She had no objection to continuing to work for Cheng Feng.

"Go back and rest first. After the Mid-Autumn Festival, we'll head to Changbai Mountain. I'll make some arrangements to ensure that what's behind the bronze door doesn't slip out."

Upon hearing Cheng Feng's affirmative answer, Zhang Qiling agreed and got up to leave Cheng Feng's house.

After he left, Chen Wenjin said with some worry:

"Old Cheng, do you want to go there yourself?"

Cheng Feng nodded: "Yes, this is no small matter; I don't trust anyone else to go."

Yang Xueli: "Then let's do it the same as before, we'll go with you."

Under the intense gazes of the three women, Cheng Feng could only nod helplessly in agreement. He might as well follow them; after all, he wasn't planning on going inside this time.

The dangers outside meant nothing to him.

There were quite a few people going this time, and Cheng Feng drew two elite Unloading Ridge Warriors from each of the first and second groups.

They also each brought five disciples with them.

Hei Xiazi and Zhang Qiling will also be setting off together this time.

There are a total of twenty people on this trip. Ah Xiang will not participate in this operation because she is in charge of the business dealings of the Unloading Ridge.

After the Mid-Autumn Festival, Cheng Feng and his group set off in eight jeeps.

This trip to Erdaobaihe Town in Changbai Mountain was quite easy, given the extent of the Xieling faction's influence over the years.

It can be said that they were the only dominant force in Erdaobaihe Town. Of course, this was also due to the disintegration of the Wang family's power.

Five days later, the convoy officially entered Erdaobaihe Town and finally stopped in front of an inn, led by local disciples of the Xieling sect.

"The last time we were here, our base was still the hunter's hut in the woods."

This time, we all have our own hotels.

Huo Ling got out of the car, rubbing her hands together as she sighed.

The weather here was still quite cold, and even the snow hanging on the trees showed no signs of melting.

"Almost ten years have passed in the blink of an eye. I wonder if Little Flower's mother is still alive."

Chen Wenjin recalled the scene of the mother tiger leaving that night, and his heart was filled with emotion.

While the two women were talking, Hei Xiazi, whose appearance had not changed at all, walked over with Zhang Qiling in a sleazy manner.

"Happy New Year, boss! Any red envelopes for me?"

Black Bear approached Cheng Feng with a smile, raised his hand and rubbed his fingers together, indicating that Cheng Feng should drop gold coins.

Cheng Feng stared speechlessly at Hei Xiazi.

"You still have the nerve to ask me for a red envelope? Even Zhang Qiling knows to come and wish me a Happy New Year on the first day of the Lunar New Year."

And look at you, only showing up right before we left! I'm already being lenient by not giving you a good beating, let alone a red envelope!

Black Bear withdrew his hand sheepishly and said:

"Weren't we on a trip? But when did Dumb Zhang learn to flatter people? He even wished you a Happy New Year on the first day of the Lunar New Year?"

As he spoke, Hei Xiazi looked at Zhang Qiling with amusement.

Zhang Qiling remained unfazed, completely ignoring their teasing.

"Alright, the brothers have prepared some local specialties in advance, let's go in and eat."

After hearing this, Hei Xiazi quickly asked:

"Did you prepare my favorite stir-fried green peppers and pork? If not, will it be enough time to stir-fry it on the spot?"

As he spoke, Hei Xiazi ran into the inn ahead of time.

Cheng Feng and Zhang Qiling followed closely behind and entered the inn owned by their family.

After resting at the hotel for one night, the group got ready to set off the next day, with Cheng Feng's car leading the way for their trip to Changbai Mountain's Cloud Top Heavenly Palace.

A group of eight vehicles drove up the mountain road, which was much smoother than the last time they came.

In recent years, as Changbai Mountain has begun to develop its tourism industry, these supporting facilities have also been renovated.

After a journey of more than an hour, Cheng Feng parked his car at the place where he had met Xiao Hua's mother before.

The road beyond this point is impassable for vehicles, and this is also the shortest route to the Heavenly Palace on the Clouds.

"Distribute the supplies; from now on, we'll have to rely on ourselves."

At Cheng Feng's command, the disciples of the Unloading Ridge Sect quickly retrieved the supplies they were carrying from the vehicles.

After confirming that nothing had been missed, the disciples of the Unloading Ridge Sect who had come from Baihe Town drove back home.

"lets go."

Everyone was dressed in the same hiking clothes and carrying hiking poles, just like a group of tourists going hiking.

Zhang Qiling and Hei Xiazi, one in the middle and the other at the back of the group, acted like pillars of strength, making the group unbreakable.
