Chapter 116: Chapter 86: I’m Going to Borrow a Celestial Horse Mount from a Good Bro

The moment he walked out of the coffee shop, the Divine Chosen Lord’s identity protection mechanism suddenly activated. The three faces that had been as clear as photographs in Qin Feng’s memory just moments ago now seemed to have been wiped away by an eraser, their features blurring into a blank slate.

“Huh!”

’It actually works pretty well!’

’No wonder MC and Mumu didn’t even think about hiding their appearances from me back in the Lost Secret Realm!’

’So they weren’t worried at all about their real identities being exposed in the Real World?’

’Unless you attack an ordinary person.’

’This special real-world protection mechanism would disappear immediately.’

’But as long as Lord Players fight among themselves and don’t accidentally harm any ordinary people in the Real World, the identity protection won’t disappear.’

’It must be a safety measure from the Lord Game to protect ordinary people…’

Qin Feng didn’t dwell on it. Instead, he hailed a taxi and headed home.

After a nice, long, hot shower, he lay down on his familiar bed, enveloped by the incredibly soft blankets and pillows, and couldn’t help but let out a long sigh:

“Ahhh!”

“So comfortable!”

“Now this is the life!”

Even though he had people to wait on him in the Lord World, he lived in a replica of a medieval castle with drafty stone walls and a straw-covered floor. How could that compare to the warmth and comfort of a modern home?

Not to mention, just this Simmons mattress alone was enough for him to laze around on all day, even without any bedding.

’Oh!’

’Right!’

’I remember I was going to give Ashes a reward!’

With that thought, Qin Feng summoned Ashes’s Owl Spirit Body and had it use the “Soul Sentinel” skill to switch places with it.

[Your Divine Chosen Soldier “Ashes” has successfully activated “Soul Sentinel”!]

As the system notification appeared, the blue spectral shadow instantly dissipated. Ashes’s round, fluffy body materialized, flapping its wings. It cocked its head, curiously zipping back and forth around the room.

“Gurgle gurgle (Lord! Is this your world? It’s so amazing!)”

Qin Feng tore open a bag of potato chips that was sitting on his nightstand.

“Here.”

“Try this.”

“See if you like it.”

Ashes flew onto Qin Feng’s hand and pecked at the chip he was holding. It then squinted its eyes, revealing an incredibly blissful and adorable expression.

“Gurgle gurgle gurgle (Yummy! So yummy! Lord! I wanna eat more! Can I?)”

Qin Feng pushed the whole bag of chips in front of it.

“I figured you’d like modern snacks… Here, they’re all yours. Take your time eating. I’m going to head to the convenience store outside to buy some more.”

Saying this, Qin Feng slipped on his slippers, pushed open the door, and walked out of the bedroom.

But just as he was about to grab the house keys hanging on the shoe cabinet by the entrance, he suddenly spun around and looked toward the balcony. His gaze, sharp as a hawk’s, locked onto the floor-to-ceiling window that was bolted from the inside.

The heavy glass wall glinted coldly in the night, but strangely, a knuckle-deep indentation appeared in the aluminum window frame before quickly smoothing out again.

’You’re back for more?’

’I already used up the Lord’s Stone.’

’What’s the point of the Divine Chosen Lord behind you continuing to cause trouble for me?’

The Shadow Ghost that had silently seeped out from the folds of the curtain froze, ripples appearing in its ghostly green eye sockets.

“You… you can see me?”

Qin Feng gave a cold smile.

“What do you think?”

[Enemy Name: Shadow Ghost (Red Name)]

[Life Value: 50/50]

[Weapon: Unable to equip any weapons]

[Armor: Unable to equip any armor]

[Skills: Permanent Invisibility (Maintains a state of permanent invisibility), True Vision (Detects other invisible units)]

[Power Assessment: Zero-star (Gray)]

[Description: A Divine Chosen Soldier trained under a Divine Chosen Lord loyal to the Undead Race. Although its Power Assessment is Zero-star (Gray), it is a special unit with no attack capabilities. Its sole purpose is to perform Reconnaissance on territory, counter enemy Invisibility, and provide Field of View control.]

“The Divine Chosen Lord behind you must have the ’Eye of All-Seeing’ treasure, right?”

“Tell him to come out and talk to me.”

Faced with Qin Feng’s questioning, the Shadow Ghost silently floated toward the ceiling, seemingly intending to use its ghost-like ability to phase through walls and escape through the apartment upstairs.

Seeing this, Qin Feng wasted no more words. With a flick of his wrist, he summoned the Grassland Longbow. The bowstring vibrated as a feathered arrow shot through the air, precisely piercing the shadow in mid-flight.

Although it was a spiritual body, it didn’t have the “Physical Immunity” trait. So, the instant the Arrowhead tore through its ghostly aura, the Shadow Ghost disintegrated into specks of light and vanished.

Afterward, Qin Feng used his “Eagle Eye” skill to perform a careful, 360-degree scan of every corner of his residential complex, but found no other non-human creatures.

’Hm?’

’What’s going on?’

’Could it be that this Shadow Ghost is a Divine Chosen Soldier that guy brought back with him the last time he returned to the Real World?’

’Its main duty was to watch me and wait for the right moment for that Death Knight to strike… But because its own Lord was sent back to the Lord World by ’Hungry Wolf’ and ’Shelter from the Wind and Rain’, it never received the order to retreat. So it just kept its original mission objective: to secretly monitor me?’

After pondering for a moment, Qin Feng ultimately confirmed his own speculation.

Because unless that Divine Chosen Lord loyal to the Undead Race had his head slammed in a door, there was no way he would risk being sent back to the Lord World by the ’Hungry Wolf’ team again just to come all this way to bother Qin Feng.

However, if his head really *had* been slammed in a door, Qin Feng wouldn’t mind farming some stacks for his “Bloodthirsty” skill using the Undead Race Divine Chosen Soldiers he summoned.

Anyway, losing a fight just meant dying once. It wasn’t like it was a huge loss for him.

With that thought, Qin Feng grabbed the keys from the shoe cabinet. The usual calm and leisurely expression returned to his face as he ambled downstairs toward the convenience store at the complex entrance.

On the way, he took out his phone, entered the number MC had given him, and dialed it directly.

“Hello?”

“Is this the great MC?”

A familiar, booming voice immediately exploded from the earpiece, identical to the handsome, middle-aged uncle who carried a Magic Staff in the Lost Secret Realm:

“Hey!”

“Tingfeng!”

“I’ve been waiting for your call!”

“Where are you now? I’ll come right over! We gotta go all out tonight! I’m gonna down ten beers!”

Thanks to the “Divine Chosen Lord Identity Security Protection” mechanism, Qin Feng wasn’t worried about his real-world information being leaked, nor was he concerned about his phone number being used or traced by others.

So he answered truthfully:

“Jiang City.”

“Can you make it here?”

MC confidently thumped his chest and said:

“Of course!”

“Don’t you worry!”

“I’ll go borrow a Celestial Horse Mount from a good buddy of mine first!”

“I’ll fly over in ten minutes!”

Qin Feng: “…”

’A Celestial Horse?’

’A Mount?’

’Is he for real?’

And yet, ten minutes later, MC actually did descend in front of him, riding a white Celestial Horse whose mane shimmered with a holy, starlit glow. Following behind him was his cousin, “Mumu,” who landed on another snow-white Celestial Horse.

“Hahaha!”

“Tingfeng!”

“You finally decided to turn off the character blur!”

“Let me see… Hey, you’re pretty handsome, aren’t you? You could totally be a male model or a star! What were you hiding from us for back then?”

Su Mumu gently stroked the silver mane on the Celestial Horse’s neck. The pair of Angel wings covered in snowy feathers folded up like a fan and vanished in a stream of light.

Then she turned her head and explained in a cold, icy tone:

“He was just worried about running into trouble in the Real World.”

“He probably didn’t know that the ’Divine Chosen Lord Identity Security Protection’ also works in the Lord World.”

“Too bad.”

“I didn’t realize it at the time.”

“Otherwise, I would have told him that piece of information.”

Hearing this, Qin Feng just smiled faintly and admitted frankly:

“Yes.”

“There was just too much I didn’t understand back then.”

“So I was a little more cautious.”

A hint of approval appeared in Su Mumu’s eyes.

“There’s nothing wrong with that.”

“Caution is a good thing.”

“You should keep it up.”

Then, she turned to the tall and sturdy MC and slapped him hard on the shoulder.

“Cousin.”

“Find a good place to hide these two Celestial Horse Mounts.”

“I’m leaving with Tingfeng first.”

“After you’re done dealing with them, call me, and I’ll send you my location.”

MC scratched the back of his head, looking completely baffled.

“Huh?”

“I have to deal with them by myself?”

Su Mumu couldn’t help but roll her eyes.

“Duh!”

“Weren’t you the one who insisted on rushing over here in such a hurry?”

“You were the one trying to show off.”

“So you can deal with it yourself.”

“Don’t make me clean up your mess every time.”

MC looked crestfallen.

“Oh, man…”

“Alright, alright…”

“Whatever the young miss Mumu says…”

“Tingfeng, I’ll be right back! You get ready, we’re going three hundred rounds tonight!”

“It’s gonna be a blast! Hahahaha!”
