Chapter 666: 666. Going Too Far!

Ling Lan chose the wrong person to help her. In front of Lan Luofeng, Ling Xiao was helpless. He would do anything to make Lan Luofeng happy, even if it meant creating trouble for him and his daughter. Not only that, he would do the same thing to the other members of the Lingtian Battle Team too.

Lan Luofeng invited the other members of Lingtian to have a meal together. She wanted to show off her cooking skills in front of Ling Lan’s friends and showed them that she was a good mother. Hence, she decided that she would make the dishes all by herself.

Ling Lan saw the confidence and decisiveness in her mother’s eyes and knew that her friends couldn’t escape anymore. She didn’t want her friends to suffer with her so she secretly winked at them and hoped that they would reject her mother.

Unfortunately, no one accepted her goodwill. The temptation of having a meal with their idol was too great. Everyone ignored the wink their boss gave them and promptly accepted Mother Lan’s invitation.

No, someone still kept his cool. Li Lanfeng wanted to reject the offer but before he could open his mouth, Zhao Jun tackled him and covered his mouth. He dragged Li Lanfeng to the back of the group. By the time Li Lanfeng managed to break free from the grip, the others had accepted the invitation. Li Lanfeng didn’t know what to say.

Ling Lan looked at them helplessly. Li Lanfeng was worried. He felt that something unexpected would happen during the meal. If not, his rabbit would not look at them like that. He understood her gaze. It was filled with pity and helplessness. There was a hint of schadenfreude in it. She seemed to be telling them that they deserved it.

During dinner, he was the only one who remained vigilant. However, he was still unable to escape. He put a small piece of vegetable in his mouth. In that instant, he knew why Ling Lan looked at them with that look.

Compared to the others, Li Lanfeng was in a better situation. He only took a small piece of vegetable so he was able to control the uncomfortable feeling and swallow the weird-tasting vegetable with a straight face.

Qi Long, Zhao Jun, and Li Yingjie were not so lucky. They were extremely excited to see the dishes Mother Lan made for them. These were cooked personally by General Ling Xiao’s wife. Only General Ling Xiao was able to eat these dishes on a daily basis. They felt lucky that they were able to have a taste of it again…

Qi Long was the one who thought that he could taste it again. When he went to his boss’s house in the past with Han Jijyun, they ate the food cooked by Mother Lan… supposedly. (Actually, the food was made by Ling Nanyi and a servant. They knew how great Lan Luofeng’s cooking was, so they would never let her enter the kitchen. Hence, Lan Luofeng only gave them ideas about the dishes. Whether the ideas were taken into consideration by Ling Nanyi, no one knew…)

Anyway, because of that experience, Qi Long was fooled. He thought that Mother Lan was a really good cook. He never expected her food to taste like poison! Hence, he took a large portion of vegetables with his chopsticks. Zhao Jun and Li Yingjie did the same thing too. They placed it in their mouth without any hesitation…

Let’s pray for these three people and hope that they would survive Mother Lan’s dishes.

A weird taste spread in their mouth. It was an indescribable taste. The food tasted cooked and raw at the same time. The three of them opened their mouth and wanted to spit out the food. At that moment, they felt a sharp gaze staring at them. Their boss was looking at them with cold eyes. There was an underlying threat in her eyes. If they dared to spit out the food, they were dead!

The three of them closed their mouth immediately.

Lan Luofeng noticed that they didn’t swallow their food and asked nervously, “Why aren’t you all eating? Is it not nice?” She was worried. Were her cooking skills still so bad after so many years?

The three of them shook their heads. They didn’t dare to tell Mother Lan that her food tasted bad. Just look at how their boss was staring at them. If they dare to reveal the truth to Mother Lan, they would get killed.

“Since it’s nice, eat.” Ling Lan placed her right hand on the table and lifted her forefinger. She pointed at the food that they picked up with their chopsticks. Then, she calmly took a piece of side dish from a plate and ate it indifferently.

Sob, as expected of their boss. He could remain calm in all kinds of situations.

The three of them didn’t dare to disobey their boss. They had tears in their eyes as they tried to swallow most of the food.

When they decided to stop eating, Ling Lan lifted her forefinger again. She wanted them to continue eating.

The three of them looked at Ling Lan helplessly. They wanted her to let them off this time. However, Ling Lan gave them a death glare. They got a shock and quickly started taking in more food.

Sob, I rather die from Mother Lan’s food than from boss’s torture. The three of them chose the better option.

Lan Luofeng was elated when she saw her dishes being so popular. She looked at the three young men lovingly. She knew that her cooking was not that bad. Look at how well they were eating her food. She decided that the next time these three young men come to her house, she would cook more food for them.

Luckily, Qi Long, Zhao Jun, and Li Yingjie didn’t know what Mother Lan was thinking. If not, they would never dare to come and visit Ling Lan again. However, they didn’t. Hence, when they came to visit their idol, General Ling Xiao, again, they never expected to be welcomed with a table full of dishes…

The three of them thought that they would die at the dining table but they proved that the human race is very resilient. They managed to leave the dining table alive. Their footsteps were a little wobbly. The weird tasting food made them lose their bodily functions temporarily. They could only smile stupidly now.

Lin Zhong-qing was much better than them. Although he was excited, he remembered his table manners and ate his food in small bites. This saved him. He was not forced to eat all the food from his boss.

However, he ate quite a bit of food too. His friends were eating so furiously so he couldn’t stop eating too. Even with his eating speed, he had temporarily forgotten some of his memories. He forgot how food should taste like.

Li Lanfeng was in the best state. He only took a small piece of vegetable at the start so he maintained his speed and quantity. He ate the least out of everyone and was the calmest among them. While the others focused their attention on battling the food in front of them, Li Lanfeng had the extra energy to talk to Lan Luofeng. Lan Luofeng was delighted by what he said and kept laughing. Ling Lan and Ling Xiao both looked at Li Lanfeng from the corner of their eyes.

Ling Xiao: How dare this young man talk to my wife like that in front of me? Is he disregarding my presence?

Ling Lan: Why didn’t I know that he was so talkative? He seems like a different person today. So weird. Forget it, since mother is happy, I will not blame him.

The meal ended with complicated feelings.

Lan Luofeng was the happiest out of everyone. Her dishes were all finished. Li Lanfeng was a good talker and managed to make her laugh all the time. She smiled all the way through the meal.

Ling Lan was the next in line. Since her mother was happy, she was happy too. She would never admit that she missed her mother.

Ling Xiao, on the other hand, felt complicated. He felt good that his daughter and her friends were enjoying themselves. However, if Li Lanfeng didn’t put in so much effort to make his wife happy, he would feel more at ease.

Qi Long, Zhao Jun, and Li Yingjie were in a daze so they could be disregarded. Lin Zhong-qing felt relieved. Finally, everything ended. Not only was Mother Lan’s cooking poisonous, but General Ling Xiao domineering aura also made him stress too. Although he looked amiable, he couldn’t completely hide his aura. He looked at Li Lanfeng with admiration. He didn’t expect Li Lanfeng to be so calm in front of General Ling Xiao… this was something he would never be able to do.

After Li Lanfeng walked out of the room, he relaxed his shoulders. He could finally feel at ease now.

Did he act well in front of Mother Lan?

Li Lanfeng was not sure if his performance was good or not… Ling Lan was really important to him. Hence, he was unable to maintain his composure. Li Lanfeng smiled bitterly. Seemed like he still overdid it.

He felt complicated. He helped Lin Zhong-qing dragged the other three back to their rooms and went back. He tossed and turned in his bed for the entire night.

After sending her friends away, Ling Lan turned and entered the dining hall again. Lan Luofeng was happily clearing the table while humming Li Yinfei’s most popular song, Tranquil Night. She had been in love with Li Yinfei’s songs recently.

“Are you very happy?” Ling Xiao was sitting on the sofa. His voice was gentle but Ling Lan detected a hint of unhappiness in it. Did one of her friends make her father unhappy? Ling Lan hadn’t realized that her father was jealous.

“Of course. My baby’s friends are the best.” Ling Lan felt her father’s aura turning colder when Lan Luofeng said this. This feeling was gone in a second. Only a domain realm master like Ling Lan was able to notice such a short change. Hence, Lan Luofeng didn’t notice anything. She continued smiling brightly and said, “They knew how to appreciate my cooking. Look at how much those three boys ate. No wonder they are so well-built…”

Ling Xiao’s unhappiness disappeared when he heard what she said. He looked at her lovingly.

So what if Li Lanfeng talked so much? In his wife’s heart, the three boys who ate more food left a much deeper impression. He was not a threat at all. Ling Xiao felt pity for the young man. He wasted so much effort to make his wife happy and got nothing back in return.

When Ling Lan walked in, Lan Luofeng smiled. “Baby, one of them visited us for the first time, right?”

Ling Lan nodded. “Yes. His name is Li Yingjie. Do you remember the arrogant brat in Scout Academy last time?”

“Oh, it’s him. No wonder he looks so familiar. Wasn’t he your rival last time? Why did he enter your battle team?” Lan Luofeng asked curiously.

“Maybe my father is too charismatic so he chose to apply for the 23rd Division. However, he didn’t want to join other battle teams because he didn’t know anyone there so he chose to become my member temporarily,” Ling Lan explained.

“That boy seems like a good person. Take care of him next time,” Lan Luofeng smiled as she replied.

“I understand, mummy,” Ling Lan replied helplessly.

She didn’t expect Li Yingjie to gain her mother’s liking the first time they met. She thought that he would be the least liked by her mother. Ling Lan suddenly remembered that Li Yingjie was also well-liked by the aunties on the Feiyang Ship… does he have a hidden innate talent? A talent which allowed older women to like him like their own child? She noted this down mentally. The next time they meet a mother, she would send Li Yingjie up first and test her prediction.

Suddenly, Ling Xiao interrupted them. “How well do you know Zhao Jun and Li Lanfeng?”

“They are three years older than me. We only worked together for a little over a year. I don’t understand them as well as the others but I trust them,” Ling Lan replied firmly.

“That’s good! But Li Lanfeng…” Ling Xiao paused. He pondered over his words. “Has a bit of a problem.”

“Oh?” Ling Lan raised her eyebrows. She wanted her father to elaborate more.

“What is his position in your battle team?” Ling Xiao asked seriously.

“Strategist. At the same time, a capable fighter,” Ling Lan replied.

“I remember that you already have a strategist in your team. His name is Han Jijyun, right?” Ling Xiao frowned. “It is not good to have two people in the same position in a team. Two different factions might appear if you have two strategists.”

“I know. However, it is fine. Li Lanfeng specialize in hidden schemes while Han Jijyun is a decisive person and likes to scheme openly. They compliment each other well.”

“However, he gave me the feeling that he is not satisfied with what you gave him. He wants more,” Ling Xiao reminded her.

“More?” Ling Lan frowned curiously. What does Li Lanfeng want?
