Chapter 1941: Chapter 1945: Reporting In

A glass of wine was finished.

Lu Xiaobu poured wine for the two of them again.

"Ever thought about the future?"

Lu Xiaobu leaned against the back of the chair, his eyes somewhat intoxicated.

"What future? After you’re dead, or I’m dead?"

Lin Feng held the glass close to his mouth, his eyes also seemed slightly drunk.

Alcohol doesn’t intoxicate; people intoxicate themselves.

"Yes! The future!"

Lu Xiaobu laughed.

"What’s the point of thinking about living forever?"

Lin Feng chuckled, emptied his cup in one go: "If we’re gone, there’s nothing to say, if we’re not, nothing changes either!"

"At this point, I ask you, do you think it’s worth it?"

Lu Xiaobu smirked at himself: "Initially, all I wanted was to live carefree and do as I please, but somehow I ended up here."

Hearing Lu Xiaobu’s words, Lin Feng paused, then smiled and said, "I think the question should be, can you stop?"

"Yeah, can’t stop." Lu Xiaobu smacked his lips.

"Since the day Lu Group was founded, I’ve been unable to stop!"

"The company must grow, my people need to eat, they believe in me, I can only lead them to a better future."

"And I want to provide a better life for my people, but others want that too!"

"However, resources in this world are limited. If I want better, I must inevitably infringe on others’ interests!"

"The bustling world moves for profit, if I infringe on others’ interests, they’ll certainly target me!"

"Zhao Kuangyin donned the imperial robe!"

Lu Xiaobu spoke slowly, talking to Lin Feng and to himself.

No matter how strong or cold they appeared outside, they were still human.

Humans have thoughts, and smart people have more thoughts.

Why can one often anticipate the enemy’s moves?

Isn’t it because one can empathize and predict the other’s behavior?

However, once you delve deeply, you start thinking about all sorts of things.

Like, the enemy’s parents, the enemy’s wife and children, the enemy’s involuntary actions!

Enemies are easier, they can be overshadowed by hate!

But what about one’s own people?

The followers who sacrifice for you and believe in you from the start?

Even someone as stone-hearted as Lin Feng would have lingering thoughts, so how could Lu Xiaobu not have feelings?

"Ha ha."

Lin Feng didn’t reply, continued drinking his wine.

The silence lasted a long time.

One day, two days, three days.

They drank continuously for three days.

Apart from the beginning, they hadn’t spoken a word during these days.

To be precise, they didn’t need to speak.

What could they say that the other didn’t already know?

Perhaps silence is more meaningful than words in the end!

Or maybe, waiting for the final outcome, survival comes to mourn at the other’s grave is more fitting.

...

"Alright! That’s it, the battlefield news has come through from over there, let’s deploy the last resort and perish with the Heavenly Lord!"

Lin Feng stood up and placed the glass upside down on the table, stretching lazily.

"Hmm, the Heavenly Lord won’t interfere in our battle this time, let’s set a plan! What do you suggest?"

Lu Xiaobu also placed the glass upside down.

His words were like the many gambles they had engaged in before.

Absurd yet with rules.

"What’s there to set? How much strength do you have left? Nascent Soul completely melted, the Demon Realm’s proud physique is gone, even the core of Gourd Island has melted away!"

Lin Feng raised his eyebrows at Lu Xiaobu.

"Just like you! Lin Island is also gone! Blood Universe was blown up by you, Blood-colored Formation was destroyed by your own hand, and as for Nascent Soul and the physique, let’s not laugh at each other!"

Lu Xiaobu rolled his eyes: "You still have the mood to compare this in our current situation?!"

"Exactly! We’ve temporarily lost the ability to confront head-on!" Lin Feng smiled faintly, his robe fluttered in the wind, then he pointed to the hundred thousand warriors on the backup island behind him: "This battle will be initiated by them! This is my custom-built Demon Army of ten thousand for your Iron Cavalry of ten thousand!"

"Ten thousand Iron Cavalry? I don’t have ten thousand Iron Cavalry now!" Lu Xiaobu chuckled.

Then he turned to Xin Lifeng’s leading force of two hundred thousand local cultivators: "Are you willing to fight for me?!"

"Fight! Fight! Fight!"

Xin Lifeng pointed, and immediately the two hundred thousand local forces roared in anger.

This army of two hundred thousand local cultivators has been filtered through countless wars, their loyalty and strength unquestionable!

"Xiaobu! We..."

Lu Hongbin was anxious upon hearing Lu Xiaobu mention only the local cultivators, but not the Dragon Group!

Beside him, Mr. Wang rubbed his bald head with resentment: "Indeed, aren’t we considered one of your own?! It’s been so long now, are we still treated as if by a step-mother?"

"Brother, don’t mess up! The Dragon Group is the Dragon Group, Lu’s power is Lu’s power, Dragon Group belongs to the Heavenly Dynasty, not us. The battle between Lin Feng and me is between the Lin Family and the Lu Family, not involving the Heavenly Dynasty. How can the Dragon Group participate?!"

Lu Xiaobu shook his head at Lu Hongbin, then looked at Elder Yu: "Elder Yu, take care of the Dragon Group, don’t cause a joke."

Elder Yu silently nodded without saying a word.

Emotionally, he wanted to fight alongside Lu Xiaobu!

But rationally, he couldn’t!

Just as Lu Xiaobu said, this is the Dragon Group, the Heavenly Dynasty’s Dragon Group, Lu Xiaobu and Lin Feng are both from the Heavenly Dynasty, he has no reason to wage war on Lin Feng!

"I say, Lu Xiaobu, you’re not planning to use these rabble against my Demon Army of ten thousand, are you?"

Lin Feng rolled his eyes: "Or are you just handing me victory for free?"

"Who are you looking down on?" Lu Xiaobu also rolled his eyes.

"Stop spewing nonsense, call out your Iron Cavalry of ten thousand! My Demon Army of ten thousand is truly for them to face! Not these small fry!" Lin Feng sneered: "You’ve said it yourself, at this time, still playing games with me?"

"I said the Iron Cavalry of ten thousand is wiped out, there’s none left!"

Lu Xiaobu replied sincerely.

"Alright! If you say so, then I’ll..."

Lin Feng was somewhat annoyed.

But, at that moment.

Suddenly, Lin Feng laughed: "It seems your subordinates are quite disobedient!"

Just as Lin Feng finished speaking.

A voice suddenly came: "Young Master Bu, the Iron Cavalry of ten thousand reporting!"
