Crossing to the Future, it's Not Easy to Be a Man Chapter 1351

“Rawr!” ‘Oh my G.o.d. What's happening? I'm drowning! Help!'

“It looks like I raised you into some useless…” Ling Lan felt helpless when it saw Little White's flailing tentacles. “Did you forget where you come from?”

“Oh? Right!” With the help of its master's reminder, Little White finally remembered that it had lived three-quarters of its life underwater. There was lots of mud in the swamp but as a creature who specialized in swimming, it wouldn't affect him.

Little White quickly calmed down and allowed the swamp to engulf its huge body. When it was fully submerged in the swamp, its body disintegrated into countless pocket-sized Little Whites as they quickly buried themselves into the mud around it. The Little Whites were scattered all over the swamp.

“Boss, will Little White be alright?” Luo Lang asked in concern after retreating to the edge.

“No problem. This is its chance to perform,” Ling Lan replied calmly.

Luo Lang nodded to express that he understood. Since Boss said that it was alright, it would be alright.

He thought that Ling Lan would continue watching the battle but instead, she said, “Let's go.”

“Go? To where?” Luo Lang couldn't follow Ling Lan's train of thoughts.

“Are we ignoring this place now?” Li Lanfeng immediately understood what Ling Lan meant. He raised his eyebrows.

“If those four poisonous creatures were on the ground, I might be worried for Little White. However, in the swamp…” Ling Lan smiled. “I'm more worried about them.”

“It seems like we still don't understand Little White's full strength,” Li Lanfeng smiled and replied. He always thought that Little White was a landbound creature. From the looks of it now, that wasn't the case. Not only did Ling Lan like to hide her own strength, but she also hid the real strength of her pet. Only the people who followed her closely would know about her secrets.

“Actually, I don't know its real strength too…” Ling Lan started pondering. As she got to know Little White more, she felt that it surrendered too easily in the past. However, her father, Ling Xiao, was present at that time. No matter how well Little White was able to disguise itself, it wasn't as strong as her father. Without the battle at the Qingri wormhole, she wouldn't even know that her father had reached profound G.o.d-cla.s.s. No matter how strong Little White was, it wouldn't be able to defeat her father. It looks like Little White's instinct was very accurate. It was able to see through her father's disguise immediately so it didn't resist and followed her willingly.

It also looked like she inherited her love for hiding her true strength from her father. Ling Lan decisively let her father take the blame.

As time pa.s.sed by, Ling Lan's emotions began to calm down. She wasn't as heartbroken or as furious as she was in the past. She slowly started to realise the signs that she missed. What she firmly believed in was her Profound Insight. It allowed her to see the almost unnoticeable clues in a mess of a fight.

She even felt that the crucial clue was the learning device on Little Four. This would explain why when her father ‘died', Little Four disappeared and the learning device went into sleep mode.

Whenever she was free, Ling Lan would contact the learning device with her spiritual power. However, the learning device was in a state of hibernation so she didn't get any results. But, she wasn't disheartened. She continued nouris.h.i.+ng the learning s.p.a.ce with her spiritual power every day. She believed that one day, she would be able to communicate with it one day and see her beloved little brother, Little Four, as well as the instructors she respected.

The three of them quickly flew past the swamp. Of course, while they were crossing the swamp, the four poisonous creatures attempted to stop them. However, Little White managed to stop them the moment they started moving.

Multiple bubbles floated to the surface of the swamp. The churning muddy water and the ma.s.sive waves were a reflection of the vicious battle going on at the bottom of the swamp.

But, all that wasn't Ling Lan's concern. Since she decided to pa.s.s the four poisonous creatures to Little White, she would believe in Little White entirely.

Soon, Ling Lan reached the edge of the swamp. Surprisingly, there was a cave at the end of the swamp. The three of them entered the cave and walked along the rugged and slippery slope filled with water before they finally reached the center.

Normally, the deepest part of the tunnel should be the darkest. However, that wasn't the case as there was something floating in mid-air that lit up the entire cave.

“What's that?” Luo Lang asked in surprise.

“It has such powerful concept energy.” Li Lanfeng always had a smile on his face so you couldn't see his emotion but this time, his smiling face cracked, revealing an astounded expression.

Ling Lan frowned at the sight of the glowing object. Seeing the unfamiliar object, she tried her best to find the relevant information in her brain. After rummaging through her memories, she found it. Fortunately, Little Four always gave her tuition from time to time, telling her about the various top-secret files that every country tried to hide.

“It feels like the Heart of G.o.d,” Ling Lan replied.

“Heart of G.o.d.” Luo Lang and Li Lanfeng exclaimed at the same time. No matter how calm and composed someone was, they wouldn't be able to remain indifferent when they heard the Heart of G.o.d.

“I just said that it feels like. I didn't say that it is.” Ling Lan glanced at them nonchalantly. She seemed to be reprimanding them for getting surprised over such a minor matter. They were embarra.s.sing her.

“If it's not, don't mention the Heart of G.o.d. It's a scary thing,” Luo Lang muttered to himself. They got dumbfounded because Boss mentioned those three words.

“This should be the Heart of Imperial.” As the first successor of the Li family, Li Lanfeng knew many secrets.

“Heart of Imperial?” Luo Lang was weaker in this aspect. He knew about the Heart of G.o.d through a series of coincidences but he didn't know about the Heart of Imperial.

“It's one level lower than the Heart of G.o.d. Legend has it that when an imperial realm formidable warrior dies, his entire concept energy will be congregated into a Heart of Imperial,” Li Lanfeng explained.

“This will explain why the rainbow palace has an endless supply of concept energy,” Ling Lan walked to the front of the Heart of Imperial and said calmly.

“But I don't sense any bug concept from this Heart of Imperial…” Luo Lang asked in confusion.

“In order for the concept energy here to reach the rainbow palace, it must pa.s.s through the swamp.” Ling Lan thought for a moment before continuing, “I remember that some creatures are able to absorb other concept energy and turn them into their own concept.”

“Those four poisonous creatures must be the transfer station.” Li Lanfeng got the answer too.

“The faction supporting the 13 Lords seems really powerful. They could actually get a Heart of Imperial to protect them. This is equivalent to having an extra life… Luckily, Little White acted quickly. If not, the results might be different.” Li Lanfeng frowned too. He couldn't help but start to worry. Would the 13 Lords really be afraid of the Soul Society and the mercenary world? What if they already had some relations.h.i.+p with the Soul Society or the mercenary world? They wouldn't have any chance of winning in that case.

Ling Lan understood Li Lanfeng's worry. “We have to take the risk. If we lose, I'll need you to continue fighting with me in another world.”

This time, Ling Lan's success rate wasn't high. Based on her past style of doing things, she never took an unfavorable bet. But, she had no choice but to do so now. She had to risk it. If she risked it, she might have a chance. If she didn't, there would be no chance at all.
