Chapter 1013: What is Love?
Yang Ze shrugged. "Sun Mengmeng, ever since our captain headed to the battlefield, you\'ve been repeatedly mumbling his name. \'I wonder how Zhang Lie\'s doing...?\' is a question you\'ve asked over sixty times by now!"
Sun Mengmeng looked offended. "What do you mean, that\'s what I do all day?"
"Sis, look over there." Sun Xiaowu pointed at Li Feng. Sun Mengmeng looked over to see him glancing toward the sky, his stubble unkempt, mumbling to himself, "What is love? That we be willing to live and die together..."
Sun Mengmeng: ...
Li Feng: "Love, like a shooting star—with whom is it shared? A full moon hanging beyond the world— desolate as a snowfield, with no one who understands it..."
Upon witnessing Li Feng\'s dim, downcast expression, Sun Mengmeng walked over and waved her hand in front of Li Feng\'s face. She asked in shock, "What happened to him?"
Yang Ze shrugged. "After our captain took to the battlefield, it\'s like Li Feng was infected with some kind of virus. He says all this nonsense, just like a computer throwing up error messages! I think he\'s done for. Looks like he needs to be reformatted."
Li Feng: "Red beans grow in the south, and a few branches\' worth bloom in spring. Gather what you can, for they convey yearning best."
Sun Mengmeng blinked. "What did you say? After Zhang Lie departed, Li Feng—"
Zhou Ying and Sun Xiaowu kicked Yang Ze aside. "Don\'t listen to his nonsense! It\'s all because of the golden mammoth."
Li Feng\'s eyes suddenly glowed. He turned toward them. "The golden mammoth? What happened to her? You were talking about her, weren\'t you?"
Sun Xiaowu replied, "We were discussing the war against the death spirits, and when the golden mammoth and the others would be able to return."
Li Feng smiled. "There\'s no need to worry. The draconian forces have all participated in many wars before, and nothing will happen to them. Furthermore, our captain\'s out there as well, and he\'ll guard them for sure. You know he won\'t just watch as the allied forces get decimated—and there\'s no need to worry about our captain either. No one can take him down."
Sun Mengmeng felt as though her behavior was somewhat like Li Feng\'s.
Suddenly, however, Li Feng\'s eyes lost his sparkle again. He raised his head and looked toward the sky. "Red beans, red pips, pressed into the heart of dice—such is the depth of my heartfelt longing for you... Now that the draconian world has evolved to a superior world, when will you return?"
Sun Xiaowu grumbled, "Ever since the golden mammoth took to the battlefield, he\'s been overwhelmed by melancholy. All he does now is recite snippets of poetry from time to time."
Yang Ze sighed. "I thought Li Feng was a normal man, but to think he\'s interested in bestiality..."
Sun Xiaowu replied, "Bestiality? No, no—"
Fang Yi interrupted, "You mean, interspecies love!"
Li Feng: "What is love? That we be willing to live and die together!"
Yang Ze, Fang Yi, and Sun Xiaowu all clutched their heads in unison. Li Feng\'s behavior seemed like a fool\'s to them—but considering the three of them were all single, did any of them really have any right to mock him?
Under ordinary circumstances, Li Feng would have attacked them for laughing at him by now, but ever since the golden mammoth left, it was as though he had become removed from the mortal world. He looked up in the sky, in light and in darkness, and spouted words of poetry from time to time.
"This night\'s stars are not last night\'s stars. For whom do the wind and dew wait the night?" Li Feng, infected with a virus as he was, would suddenly present them with a pop-up from time to time. They were sorry for him, but his actions only reminded them that they were all still single!
Sun Mengmeng\'s lips twitched. "It looks like it\'s a terminal illness."
Sun Xiaowu turned back to his sister. "Sis, you aren\'t faring much better yourself."
Sun Mengmeng laughed. "You must be joking! Li Feng\'s pretty much gone crazy, and it wouldn\'t be absurd to send him to a mental institute. If I\'m worse off than he is, then I might as well deserve death!"
All the members of Team Zenith, including the soulless Li Feng, all turned to gaze at Sun Mengmeng with a pitying expression.
Sun Mengmeng\'s lips twitched. "It can\'t be..."
Sun Xiaowu shrugged. "That\'s why I said that the biggest problem is that you don\'t even realize it."
Fang Yi groused, "Mengmeng, we all know how much you care about the captain. I think you need to make your feelings clear! Chase after him!"
Sun Mengmeng blushed in embarrassment. "I\'m afraid that it\'ll cause unnecessary trouble for Zhang Lie. He said that it isn\'t time for us to appear on the battlefield just yet."
Zhou Ying advised, "Even if you were to do so, Mengmeng, I\'m sure our captain wouldn\'t blame you."
Sun Mengmeng shook her head. "I don\'t want to cause unnecessary trouble for him."
The members of Team Zenith all sighed.
Sun Xiaowu replied, "But hasn\'t this situation happened in the past already? We\'ll drop Li Feng for the moment. Sis, you\'ve known our captain for so long, and you were separated from him for quite some time between when he ascended to the third realm and when we did. But you never behaved in such a lovesick fashion before!"
After Zhang Lie\'s ascension to the third realm, Sun Mengmeng had been separated from him for half a year—but here, it hadn\'t even been half a month yet.
Sun Mengmeng sighed. "Perhaps it\'s because the enemies he\'s facing this time are so strong, and he has no companion by his side—or perhaps because I have nothing to do at the moment, so it\'s easy for my thoughts to wander."
After Zhang Lie ascended to the third realm, Sun Mengmeng had grown more motivated to advance her own strength, but now, Zhang Lie was on a dangerous battlefield all by himself, and there was nothing she could do.
His allies were all unreliable superior worlds, existences from antiquity whose allegiances weren\'t clear. They could easily be Zhang Lie\'s worst enemy.
Zhang Hanxiang and Hong Xi weren\'t strong enough to help Zhang Lie out in times of need, and they hadn\'t received any news or reports as to how the war was going. Sun Mengmeng couldn\'t help but worry.
Sun Xiaowu grumbled, "Sis, there\'s no need to worry. Have you forgotten what sort of person our captain is? He can deal with any enemy on his own!
I expect they\'re already trying to divide up the spoils by now—maybe he\'s the one worrying about how we\'re doing."
"Let\'s hope so."
The unclean world was surrounded by green fog. The entire world seemed like an abyssal trench, with the characteristic gray fluid of the king of evil filling the bottom of that trench.
More and more mutated growths and abominations were visible within that fluid, squelching as they tried to climb out of the abyss, only to be pulled back and devoured.
Upon learning of the evolution of two superior worlds, the gray fluid burbled and quivered in excitement, and the malformed heads embedded in the fluid screeched in excitement.
The king of keys smiled. "To evolve at such a critical period... I wonder what the Zongming king will do? In the end, though, they\'re destined to die."
