Crossing to the Future, it's Not Easy to Be a Man Chapter 1274

Chapter 1274 Ling Xiao? Ling Xiao!

After enduring for only a few minutes, Ren Feiyu suddenly had a terrified expression on his face. “What is this?! This isn't the Duplication talent…”

“Ah!” He suddenly cried out in agony. His entire body fell onto the floor, and after a few seconds, he went unconscious.

After four hours, Ren Feiyu slowly opened his eyes and sat up.

A seemingly demonic smirk appeared on his face.

“Ren Feiyu… My things are not for you to take.” Ren Feiyu's demonic smirk slowly turned to a mocking expression. “The entire world knows that I have the Duplication talent. How could they know that I am actually a double innate talent individual? I never told anyone about the second innate talent not because I didn't want to tell people, but because I couldn't tell them.”

“The Devour innate talent can devour all that exists. That includes your consciousness, Ren Feiyu. Tsk, tsk, tsk, you really are unlucky. You didn't get my Duplication innate talent but instead acquired my Devour innate talent. After plotting against me for so long… Ha! Now devouring your consciousness shall be the price you pay for plotting against me.” Ling Xiao let out a devilish smile. “First Marshal, I've said it before. Don't let me come back alive. Once I come back alive, we will slowly settle all our differences… If you don't want me to be on your side, then I just be the antagonist of this story. The games from now will be interesting. Just you wait and see.”

Ling Xiao slowly restrained his demonic smile. His entire expression turned as cold as ice.

Without the Duplication innate talent to balance him out and with the Devour innate talent as his main talent, Ling Xiao's aura was very demonic. Even if he had the face of Ling Xiao, just this demonic aura was enough to make Ling Lan not acknowledge that this person was her warm and kind-hearted father.

Ling Lan slowly awakened. She was still inside her mecha. The mecha's display screen was blocked by a large mecha's body. Ling Lan didn't need to ask any question as she knew it was definitely Li Lanfeng's mecha on top of her. She didn't try and move away as tears slowly dropped from her eyes. She hated crying as she believed it was a sign of weakness. However, now, she couldn't hold back the sadness in her heart. Tears came down her cheeks uncontrollably.

It turns out, back then, it wasn't because she was strong-willed, but rather she just wasn't sad enough. If it was possible, she would rather have her father never return. That way, she wouldn't have had to endure such heartbreaking pain. It was pain that entered directly into the heart. Ling Lan hated herself. If she was just a bit stronger; If she was a G.o.d-cla.s.s operator; A profound G.o.d-cla.s.s operator; Would her father not have given up his life to protect her?

'Caesar, Twilight and the Federation… I won't let any of you go.' Ling Lan screamed out angrily in her mind…

“Ling Lan, don't be sad. The general won't die. He won't die. He's a bird that won't die. He's a phoenix. He will definitely be reborn from the ashes. He will return, just like back then.” Slowly, Ling Lan began to hear these words. It was Li Lanfeng

“Ling Lan, don't be sad. The general won't die. He won't die. He's a phoenix. He will definitely be reborn from the ashes. He will return, just like back then.” Li Lanfeng continued to repeat the same words over again. His voice had already become hoa.r.s.e and was somewhat trembling. However, even though his voice was like that, he still continued to repeat those words. He wanted to provide any semblance of comfort to Ling Lan. He wanted Ling Lan to regain her composure and continue to be motivated to live.

At that moment, Li Lanfeng didn't know what to do or say to comfort Ling Lan. He could only repeat those words as those words gave him confidence so he hoped that it would also give Ling Lan confidence too. He knew the importance of General Ling Xiao to Ling Lan. Ling Lan wasn't like him. He was a truly cold, heartless and selfish person, but Ling Lan was someone who put feelings first. Despite Ling Lan behaving coldly and heartlessly, he knew Ling Lan's softer side. He knew Ling Lan's real personality. That personality made him adore Ling Lan. It was because he couldn't have that type of emotion.

“Yes. My father's a bird that won't perish. He's a phoenix…” Ling Lan said as she cried. She didn't believe that the man who loved her so much would be so heartless to leave her like that. She believed that as long as there was a slight possibility, her father would definitely return. That was because his loving wife, Lan Luofeng, and child, Ling Lan, were still alive.

After hearing Ling Lan's reply, Li Lanfeng had a joyful expression on his face. He had been constantly repeating the same words for more than an hour while not hearing a single response from Ling Lan. Only G.o.d knew how worried he was. He was afraid Ling Lan couldn't take all of it at once. In addition to Ling Lan's previous injuries… Now that he heard Ling Lan's voice, Li Lanfeng felt alive again.

“That's right. When has the general ever disappointed us. We must believe in him. Ling Lan, you can't disappoint the general.” Despite Li Lanfeng not knowing what Ling Xiao told Ling Lan at the very end, he still believed those words could motivate Ling Lan to continue living. That was why he emphasized it in hopes Ling Lan wouldn't forget about what the general had told him. In order for Ling Lan to have the motivation to continue living, Li Lanfeng used all the methods he could think

of.

He didn't care much about whether General Ling Xiao was dead or alive. He only cared about how much Ling Lan would hurt from this incident and if Ling Lan would continue to have the confidence to live.

“I know. I won't disappoint my father,” Ling Lan said calmly. No matter what happened to her father, Ling Lan was not someone who depended on her father to live. She no longer wanted to watch the people she loved dearly fight for her or even sacrifice themselves for her. She hoped that could protect the people he loved with her own two hands.

'I was wrong in the past. I will change now and continue to become stronger. I only hope that one day G.o.d will give me another chance to protect that person who loves me and who I also love,' thought Ling Lan as tears trickled down her face.

“I will become a king! The king of this world and not let anyone plot against me or the people I love”

It was the first time Ling Lan had such an ambitious thought. After losing someone she cared about dearly, Ling Lan had an epiphany about life. Protecting those she loved couldn't be done just by saying it. She needed to do more. Abilities was one; Followers was another; but there was also political power she now needed to take into account. Little Seven controlled Destruction Devil and led these saddened individuals away from the Twilight Empire, away from the Federation. They went towards a far away place that even he didn't know where they were going.

This was the final command his boss, Little Four, gave him. He couldn't find him anymore. Thus, he believed that he must complete what his Boss had a.s.signed him, even if it meant taking Ling Lan and betraying the Federation.
