Chapter 228 "They...are all the master's wives"
At nine o'clock in the morning, everything was ready.
The three walked side by side toward the iconic, massive metal door of the Abyss Prison.
The guards were surprised and confused to see that Warden Leng Meng and Medical Officer Vivian were traveling with Lin Feng, and that both of them had changed into simple casual clothes.
But when faced with Leng Meng's calm yet undeniably authoritative gaze, all doubts were instantly suppressed and buried deep in his heart.
The guards bowed silently and activated the mechanism.
With a deep rumble, the giant gate slowly opened.
The three of them did not turn around, but walked straight towards the teleportation hall shrouded in soft white light.
The teleportation process was so smooth that it was almost imperceptible. When the vision cleared again, the ground beneath my feet was the smooth floor of the Tranquil Quadrant Teleportation Hall.
The moment I stepped out of the hall, a moist sea breeze greeted me.
The warm sunlight bathed me, like a pair of gentle hands, softly brushing away the last trace of chill brought from the abyss of the prison.
The legendary Tranquility Quadrant truly lives up to its name.
In the central area of the island, a cluster of simple yet modern low-rise buildings is scattered, with white walls and gray tiles complementing the lush greenery.
The trees on both sides of the road are lush and leafy, and all kinds of unidentified flowers are in full bloom.
In the distance lies the boundless blue sea, the waves crashing gently, and the sea breeze carrying the fragrance of flowers caressing your face, so pleasant that you almost squint your eyes.
The parrot "Talkative," perched on Lin Feng's shoulder, suddenly flapped its wings and yelled in a loud voice, "We're home! Time to enjoy ourselves!"
Just then, a respectful voice sounded from beside me: "Master."
Lin Feng looked in the direction of the voice and saw it was Lai Fu, the steward of the mansion.
He was dressed in a well-fitting dark tailcoat, with an upright posture, and behind him was a silver-gray, sleek hovercraft.
Xia Ning and Su Wan did not appear, presumably because they were too heavy-hearted to come.
When Lai Fu's gaze swept over the two women following closely behind Lin Feng, a moment of surprise flashed across his composed face, but he was used to seeing such things and quickly recovered.
He quickly stepped forward and bowed slightly, saying, "Master, welcome back."
Lin Feng stepped forward and solemnly introduced:
"Laifu, these two are Leng Meng and Vivian."
He paused, then continued, "They are all my wives. From now on, in all matters, big and small, you must respect and obey them as you would me."
Lai Fu bowed deeply again: "This old servant understands. Welcome back, Madam Leng Meng and Madam Vivian. The carriage is ready, please follow me."
Lai Fu respectfully opened the back door for Leng Meng and Vivian. The two women nodded their thanks and sat down in the spacious and comfortable car, the seats being slowly adjusted to the most comfortable angle for their bodies.
Lin Feng, along with his "talkative" friend, sat in the front passenger seat.
The car doors closed silently, the hovercar started moving, as smoothly as a cloud floating off the ground.
In just a few minutes, the vehicle came to a smooth stop in front of a magnificent mansion.
The main building within the mansion is a fusion of a classical castle and a modern art gallery, with stone and glass curtain walls creating a wonderful visual rhythm.
Even more astonishingly, a transparent energy shield, faintly visible to the naked eye and shimmering with a soft light, was slowly rising from the edge of the courtyard wall, forming a huge semi-circular dome that completely enveloped the entire territory.
The two women looked out the car window at the scene before them, their beautiful eyes filled with undisguised shock.
Vivian parted her lips slightly, her tone tinged with surprise: "This is...your residence?"
Lin Feng turned his head and smiled, his gaze sweeping gently over the two of them: "That's right, this will be your home from now on."
As soon as the words were spoken, the door opened silently in sync with the layer of shimmering shield.
Lai Fu slowly drove the hovercar into the area.
A lush, velvety lawn stretched out, with a white gravel path winding through it.
Several ancient trees with vigorous postures are dotted along the path, and benches are placed under their dense shade.
A little further away, a small and exquisite rockery stands quietly, with babbling water cascading from between the rocks and flowing into a shallow pool below, creating a clear and ethereal sound.
In the garden, various rare and exotic flowers are arranged in sections, weaving together a magnificent tapestry.
The automatic irrigation system is spraying out a fine mist of water, which reflects a faint rainbow in the sunlight.
Behind this meticulously crafted front courtyard and garden, the castle-like main building, which blends classical grandeur with modern lines, truly takes center stage with its imposing presence.
It stands silently, serving as both a sanctuary and a silent declaration of its identity.
Lai Fu parked the hovercar steadily in the parking space in front of the main building, got out of the car first, quickly walked around to the back seat, opened the car door, and reached out to steadily help the two ladies out of the car one by one.
Laifu respectfully led the way as we entered the main building, where the light changed from bright to soft.
Immediately afterwards, a light and elegant woody fragrance wafted in, replacing the scent of flowers and sea breeze from the outdoors.
Every detail in sight exudes a meticulously maintained quality, combining luxurious style with a touch of everyday life.
It forms an extreme contrast with the bone-chilling coldness, gloom, and oppression of the Abyss Prison.
In the living room, a woman with long chestnut curly hair sat on a large, soft sofa.
On the small table in front of her were some soft baby fabrics. She was stroking a small piece of clothing in one hand, while her other hand unconsciously caressed her high, bulging belly.
It was Su Wan.
The sound of footsteps made her look up.
When Lin Feng's figure came into view, Su Wan's eyes instantly filled with light: "Husband!"
Her movements were slightly slower due to her pregnant belly, but she still stepped forward with an eager smile and reached out to wrap her arms around Lin Feng's neck.
"You're finally back... You have no idea how worried we've been about you these past few days!"
Vivian's lake-blue eyes widened as she stared blankly at Su Wan's bulging belly, then turned to Lin Feng, her mind completely blank.
Leng Meng's expression instantly turned cold, her lips tightened, and her aura became so calm it was almost frozen.
The joy on Lin Feng's face did not last long before turning into a complex entanglement.
His Adam's apple bobbed slightly, and he could only steel himself and turn around, speaking in a dry voice:
"Wan'er, let me introduce you..."
He turned to face Leng Meng, "This is what I had in the Abyss Prison..."
The second half of the introductory sentence inexplicably got stuck on the tip of my tongue.
At this moment, the parrot "Talkative" perched on Lin Feng's shoulder suddenly flapped its wings and shouted clearly in its loud voice:
"Wife! They are all the master's wives!"
Su Wan's smile froze instantly.
She slowly loosened her grip on Lin Feng's arm, took half a step back, and her eyes almost instantly reddened.
"We...we waited day and night, hoping and hoping...and what we got was a 'green grassland'?!"
Her voice trembled, and tears streamed down her face. "Lin Feng...you've disappointed me so much!"
Leng Meng glanced coldly at Lin Feng, then her gaze returned to Su Wan: "We? You mean, it's not just you?"
Lin Feng's forehead was covered in a fine sweat; the truth could not be hidden forever.
"There's...there's one more."
Leng Meng closed her eyes briefly, her knuckles clenching slightly. When she opened them again, her eyes were filled with a chilling intensity: "Why didn't you tell us sooner?!"
If you had told me earlier, would you still have wanted to come?!
Lin Feng's voice was urgent, tinged with helplessness, "I... I had no choice in the matter!"
Leng Meng stopped looking at him and turned to Lai Fu: "Lai Fu, take me to the teleportation hall!"
"Mengmeng!" Lin Feng rushed forward and grabbed her, his voice pleading, "Let me explain..."
"I met them in the first two dungeons. As you know, I carry that 'curse.' If it weren't for them... I would be dead by now!"
Just then, soft footsteps came from the direction of the stairs.
With one hand supporting her lower back and her rounded belly protruding, Xia Ning was being carefully helped down the stairs by a nanny robot.
She had come to investigate after hearing the noise, but her steps faltered the moment her eyes met Leng Meng's.
Leng Meng was also taken aback.
"Cold lemon?!" "Summer lemon?!"
The two called out each other's names almost simultaneously.
None of them expected to reunite with their former high school deskmate in such a setting.
