Chapter 1 The Beginning
It has been about half a month since returning to the continent of Teyvat, and Ling Feng felt that he had rested enough.
He asked Keqing for a short leave and decided to return to Mount Aocang.
Keqing, knowing Ling Feng's identity, readily agreed.
Mount Aocang, outside the cave dwelling of the Cloud Retainer.
Ling Feng took out a bag of Liyue delicacies from his system space, planning to surprise his Master Cloud Retainer.
"Master! Senior Sister! I'm back!"
"What the hell?!"
As soon as Ling Feng opened the portal, before he could enter, something like a rocket flew towards him.
Before Ling Feng could react, he was hit by the "rocket" and flung out of the cave, crashing heavily into a tree and falling down.
He walked in and flew out.
Ling Feng's mind was blank.
Who am I?
Where am I?
What am I doing?
Just then, Ling Feng saw the Cloud Retainer fly out of the cave.
Upon seeing him lying there, she hurriedly flew towards him.
Ling Feng thought to himself.
As expected, Master still cares about him.
Then, under Ling Feng's expectant gaze.
The Cloud Retainer flew past him directly and landed beside the bag of Liyue delicacies.
"Delicacies!"
The Cloud Retainer quickly opened the bag, checking if the delicacies inside were damaged. After confirming they were safe, she breathed a sigh of relief.
Throughout the entire process, it was as if she hadn't seen Ling Feng, her disciple.
Seeing this scene, Ling Feng was completely petrified.
Good heavens! She doesn't even care about her disciple, but cares about the food first!
"Junior Brother! Are you okay?"
Shenhe came out of the cave and saw Ling Feng pinned by the "rocket." She rushed over and moved the "rocket" away.
Then, she anxiously checked Ling Feng all over to see if he was injured.
Ling Feng looked at Shenhe with a touch of emotion.
Indeed... Senior Sister cares about me the most.
Unlike a certain bird who only recognizes food and not people, heartless!
Ling Feng waved his hand and said with a smile.
"I'm fine, not a bit hurt. This little thing can't hurt me, who has tough skin."
"By the way, what is this thing?"
Ling Feng pointed to the "rocket" that had knocked him out.
Shenhe looked back and explained.
"This? Didn't you mention the rocket propulsion backpack before? This is Master's newly developed... Propulsion Source Rocket Version 1.0."
"Uh."
Ling Feng's mouth twitched. Looking at the "rocket" that was half his height, he couldn't believe it was called a propulsion source.
If you threw it on Earth, people would mistake it for a missile, although it wouldn't explode.
"Alright, let's go inside and talk. These delicacies will get cold if we don't eat them soon. Oh, and Shenhe, remember to move that thing inside."
"Yes, Master."
The Cloud Retainer carried the bag of delicacies and flew back into the cave dwelling first.
Ling Feng and Shenhe carried the contraption together and walked in slowly.
After entering the cave dwelling, Ling Feng and Shenhe dropped the item in the courtyard and walked into the main hall.
Inside the hall, a table was laden with delicacies, and the Cloud Retainer was already seated, waiting for Ling Feng and Shenhe to arrive.
It was already twelve noon, and the delicacies Ling Feng brought had just become lunch.
After eating, Ling Feng returned to his room and tidied it up a bit.
Then, he jumped onto the bed, ready to reforge the Mistral.
There were two things he intended to do during his return to Mount Aocang: the first was to reforge the Mistral, and the second was to undergo tribulation.
