Douluo Continent: The Ice King's Resurrection

Chapter 79, Section 78: The Nan Mother and Daughter

As He Feng entered the Earth Dragon Gate, the first thing Ling Bingtian and the others felt was a rich floral fragrance wafting from the direction of the backyard, giving them a refreshing feeling.

"Sect Master, you have such refined taste." Ling Bingtian couldn't help but exclaim in admiration. To create such a rich floral fragrance, there must be a beautiful large garden in the backyard.

Hearing Ling Bingtian's praise, He Feng laughed and replied, "The fragrant flower sea in the backyard has always been our sect leader's pride. After you finish visiting the sect leader, you can visit it if you are interested."

"In that case, it would be impolite to refuse," Ling Bingtian agreed with a smile.

Having been in Douluo Continent for so long, Ling Bingtian has indeed never seen a fully formed, artificially cultivated flower sea.

Near the Ice City, there are only farmlands and harsh, cold lands. Even if there are flowers, there are only one or two, or a few clumps, which can hardly form a sea of ​​flowers.

Now that he has the opportunity to see it for himself, Ling Bingtian is naturally eager to do so.

The four people behind him naturally wouldn't refuse either. Wang Dayu and Yuan Chao wouldn't refuse Ling Bingtian's rule. Village Chief Xie and Xie Yuwei had been very nervous ever since they entered the Earth Dragon Gate. They would naturally nod and agree to whatever others said.

While talking to Ling Bingtian, He Feng was also secretly observing the four people following behind him.

The two men, who looked to be about the same age as Ling Bingtian, were not dressed in low-class clothes, but they lacked the elegance of a nobleman. They were probably just Ling Bingtian's companions or subordinates.

He Feng couldn't understand the grandfather and granddaughter pair further behind.

No matter how he looked at it, he felt that these two people were just ordinary villagers and should not have anything to do with a top noble like Ling Bingtian.

"Could it be some kind of hidden master?" He Feng thought to himself, on guard. On the continent, there are many sects and families that use hidden masters to protect their descendants.

Heaven have mercy, if Village Chief Xie, who isn't even a Soul Master, knew that one day he would be secretly feared by a Soul Douluo-level Soul Master, I wonder if he would faint from fright.

In this amicable exchange, He Feng quickly led everyone to their destination, a bright and spacious guest room.

He led the five people into the room and gestured for them to sit down. He then sat down in the secondary seat, clapped his hands, and instructed the servants to serve tea to the five people who had taken their seats and to himself.

After the five people sat down, servants came up to serve tea. Xie Yuwei initially wanted to take the tea, but Yuan Chao pulled her back.

She's no longer a country girl; she needs time to get used to these things.

Seeing Xie Yuwei's actions, He Feng became even more puzzled.

Who in a noble family would accept tea offered by someone else?

Ling Bingtian was also somewhat speechless, but this was indeed something he hadn't noticed.

Seeing that Yuan Chao bent down and spoke a few words to Xie Yuwei, and the girl's face turned red, Ling Bingtian knew that she must have learned some basic visitor rules.

So, Ling Bingtian continued to talk with He Feng, chatting about everything under the sun, from the internal affairs of the empire to the situation on the continent, from strange tales to the development of soul tools.

He Feng was surprised to find that the boy's knowledge was far more extensive than he had imagined.

No matter what the conversation is about, he can keep up with his own pace, and sometimes he can even control the pace.

"Truly a prodigy, one in a thousand years!" He Feng thought to himself.

That's right, He Feng knew Ling Bingtian's identity as soon as he heard the name Ling Bingtian.

Otherwise, if an ordinary member of the Ling family came, would he, as the second elder of the sect, be required to receive them?

Ling Bingtian is a direct descendant of the Ling family and has a high probability of becoming the next Duke of Jibing, which is why He Feng came to receive him, hoping to befriend him and at least leave a good impression.

This will be beneficial to the future development of his descendants.

At the same time, letting Ling Bingtian know how much the Earth Dragon Gate values ​​him will also benefit the future development of the Earth Dragon Gate.

With He Feng's cultivation level, it wasn't difficult for him to sense that Ling Bingtian's cultivation level was extremely close to that of a Soul Sect Master.

A Soul Master at the age of 12? He Feng could never dream of such a dream.

But now, a real being who could potentially break through to the Soul Master level at the age of 12 is sitting right in front of him, with three Title Douluo protecting him from behind.

He Feng felt that befriending such a person would be perfectly fine.

Ling Bingtian was naturally happy to communicate with the seniors in the Soul Master world, from whom he could learn some knowledge that he couldn't usually learn.

Therefore, when both people are willing to chat, the environment for conversation is naturally very good.

The conversation continued until it was broken by a delicate question from outside the door.

"Grandpa He, who are these people?"

He Feng's face visibly stiffened, and a hint of helplessness flashed in his eyes, but he quickly regained his composure.

Ling Bingtian keenly noticed He Feng's change in that instant, and based on his memories from his previous life, he roughly guessed who had come.

Looking towards the sound, a girl who looked about his age appeared at the door, yawning, clearly having just woken up.

The girl had fluffy pink short hair with several small braids tied on both sides, snow-white skin, and a figure that was already taking shape.

At this moment, she rubbed her eyes and observed everyone in the guest room with her rare pink eyes.

"Qiuqiu, you're here! These are all guests who have come to visit the Sect Master. Where is the Sect Master?"

He Feng smiled, explained something to the pink-haired girl, and then asked her a question.

"Oh, you're here to see your mother? She should be here soon; I just saw that she's almost finished with what she was doing in her study."

Upon hearing that they had come to find her mother, the girl, whom He Feng called Qiuqiu, immediately lost interest.

After glancing around the room one last time, lingering a little longer on Ling Bingtian and Xie Yuwei, the girl left the guest room.

"Nan Qiuqiu." Ling Bingtian silently murmured her name in his heart.

According to her memories from her previous life, she will fight Huo Gua and his group six years later. After being defeated, she will join the Tang Sect and eventually cultivate there to become a Title Douluo.

Having met another character from the original work, Ling Bingtian didn't say hello to her.

The person we're looking for today isn't her, but her mother, Nan Shuishui, the current head of the Earth Dragon Gate, who possesses the Rouge Dragon Martial Soul and has a Soul Power cultivation level as high as Soul Douluo.

Ling Bingtian could only feel at ease after handing Xie Yuwei over to her, which was also feedback from the Ling family's intelligence system.

Since the Earth Dragon Gate began to decline under her leadership, Nan Shuishui has tried every means to cultivate the younger generation of Soul Masters, hoping that one of them will emerge as a new pillar of the Earth Dragon Gate.

If Xie Yuwei were handed over to someone else in the Earth Dragon Sect, she might not receive much training, but if she were handed over to Nan Shuishui, Ling Bingtian believed that she would definitely train Xie Yuwei well.

Just then, footsteps came from outside the door, drawing everyone's attention.

Soon, the owner of the footsteps appeared in everyone's sight.

Her loose pink curly hair cascaded over her shoulders, her face was alluring, and her pink eyes, filled with weariness, surveyed the people in the room. The crow's feet at the corners of her eyes indicated that she was no longer young.

At first glance, she looks like an enlarged version of the girl from before.

But her still-charming figure and the air of someone in a superior position made this middle-aged beauty exude a powerful attraction to the opposite sex.

Needless to say, she is the true ruler of the current Earth Dragon Gate—Nan Shuishui.
