Marvelous Mecha

Chapter 870: Son-in-Law?_2


It wasn't just the onlookers who harbored this thought; even the family head was befuddled... He had seen this person before, definitely seen him, and must have had some kind of experience with him, but even after scrutinizing him for a good while, the family head couldn't recall who he was.

Standing not far away, Fali needed only half a second of contemplation before her pretty face instantly revealed an extremely surprised expression... Could this person actually be—!? Her heart thundered. She quickly raised her hand to cover her lips, and although she was worldly and knowledgeable, she soon suppressed her astonishment, trying to behave as normally as possible. She quickly stepped up to the family head's side, leaned in close to his ear, and whispered something inaudible...

The family head seemed to take an invisible critical hit, his astonished gaze locked onto the newcomer, his facial expressions changing one after another... His expression went from scrutiny to doubt, from doubt to surprise, from surprise to consideration, from consideration to affability, from affability to approval, and then from approval to relief. No one could imagine how such a sequence of facial close-ups happening in just 3 seconds on one person's face would look like—the scenes were ripe for turning into memes.

The family head suddenly became extremely amiable, looking at Feng Yi with eyes as if he were looking at a close kinsman. His smile was as refreshing as a spring breeze, and he said with a pleasant countenance, "Might you be General Feng from the federation?"

"You flatter me, just call me Feng Yi."

"Hahahaha..." Nangong Family's head laughed heartily, saying, "For the son-in-law to visit and not be greeted from afar, my apologies, please don't take offense. Just say that you and my eldest granddaughter have a good rapport—Qi'er, set the tea, and do hurry to pour it for your husband with your own hands."

Fuck, how can this white-bearded old man change his face faster than flipping a book? And while he's at it, he made me his son-in-law? Feng Yi felt a silent, massive shock and stepped back half a pace.

The scene immediately turned chaotic; there were even reporters who had come to interview, "Are you really General Feng? It is rumored that you are the Revenge Shadow Rider, could you answer that question?"

"Hello, I am a reporter from Rekart TB, as a winner in life, you've won battles and hearts, could you share your current thoughts? And do you mind international romance?"

Reporters lurking in the dark suddenly couldn't sit still anymore, buzzing like flies and throwing out countless questions in rapid succession, but they were quickly driven away by the Nangong Family's external disciples. Who would have thought a social gathering would have so many reporters hiding in wait? Would you believe it if not for Feng Yi's appearance?

Nangong Ziyu suddenly couldn't sit still, damn it, she's Xiao Tian for goodness' sake, why is everyone focused on the bad brother? She got angry whenever someone bullied her. Though the bad brother didn't seem that bad at the moment, it was a fact he bullied her.

Without a second thought, Zi Yu charged into the crowd aiming for a showdown with her big brother, only to be picked up and carried out by a smiling elder as if she were a little chicken. What business do children have blending into adults' affairs?

When Feng Yi's identity became known, the scene temporarily descended into chaos... There were discussions, photographs being taken, videos being shot—basically, everything you could and couldn't imagine happening.

Then there was a drag queen asking for an autograph, dressed extremely femininely, more womanly than a woman, speaking with a sweet, charming voice, and they expressed that the reason Feng Yi liked women was that he hadn't met a man that moved his heart yet. Assuming Feng Yi gave them an autograph, a small kiss wouldn't be out of the question, they could even exchange contact information for further communication...

Quite confident in their charm, the drag queen failed to realize that the Nangong Family even had such beings among them. Feng Yi was silent for a moment... Indeed, he was charmed; such a cute person must be a boy, but it also scared him quite a bit!

With the family head's consent, they soon made a quick escape—the place was becoming unbearable.

The two of them quickly disappeared, vanishing into the deepest part of the Nangong Family estate. It must be said that Nangong Qi's movements were even faster than Feng Yi's at the moment. This was somewhat related to the realm of her abilities, and one couldn't rule out her increasingly deteriorating physical condition, plus the battle they had just had, which caused Feng Yi's symptoms to manifest quite rapidly.

Nangong Qi was silent all the way, allowing Feng Yi to lead her in a game of hide-and-seek like a little sidekick. It was only when Feng Yi stopped that she finally spoke up and asked him exactly how he had escaped from the Flashing Golden Eye Technique.

"Uh, well, I call it the Third Mystery, it's kind of hard to explain."

"Bad guy, always knocking others down."

Always graceful and composed, Qi'er somehow turned into a child who loved to act spoiled in front of Feng Yi. While her words were steady, her gaze towards him warmed considerably, and her beautiful face seemed as if water could drip from it, making Feng unable to meet her eyes, for fear of being melted away.

"By the way, where would you like to go? I'll take you out for a drive."

"Anywhere is fine, as long as you're there." Nangong Qi, her pretty face filled with contentment, spun around gracefully with her hands clasped behind her back and said.

This left Feng Yi somewhat at a loss for words. He silently decided that he must at least take Qi'er for a good spin and bring her some joy. As for his physical condition, he hadn't yet thought of how to explain it.

They say traveling can relax the mind and make thoughts clear and meticulous. So, why not go for an impromptu trip around the world? "Qi'er, grab my hand."

So, Feng Yi reached out his hand, and Nangong Qi coyly only held onto his one finger, her pretty face blushing. How did this look like an adult leading a child? Of course, even though they had been in contact before, they never engaged in the act of hand-holding and skin contact. Now it seemed that Qi'er was not as lively as she had been before.

As thoughts unfolded and searched... with a whoosh, the two appeared at the extreme reaches of the planet, where the bone-chilling cold winds had no effect under the protection of Feng Yi's special ability.

"Where is this..."

Nangong Qi found herself brought unknowingly to some place by Feng Yi, her pretty face bewildered...

"The Arctic Circle. According to my observation these past two days, the local delicacies of the Ice Village are quite good. It's one of the most unique resorts on Capital Planet. What do you think?"

Nangong Qi raised her little head to look at the sky, realizing how beautiful it was, truly beautiful. After marveling for a whole hour, the girl finally started to wonder how Feng Yi could have brought her from the family home to the Arctic Circle, nearly ten thousand kilometers away, a concept she couldn't understand.

"Heh, this is the true purpose of the Third Mystery, as well as the ability to break through your Flashing Golden Eye Technique."

Seeing the surprise on Nangong Qi's face, Feng Yi explained with one hand propped under his chin: "As for how to describe it, it's roughly about inducing boundaryless sensation with the natural fluctuations and achieving a completely unified integration with nature. Because my own magnetic field fully integrates with nature's, I can sense any distinct breath of life, which is the fluctuation of the biological magnetic field, thereby locking onto the target and actively generating Quantum Resonance. The moment I disconnect from nature and actively resonate with another magnetic field, your quantum state will appear concurrently at the targeted location. That's roughly what it means."

Feng Yi couldn't describe it any better; the philosophical foundation contained within the Third Mystery was far more complex than what could be simply explained — first of all, you must possess Mental Ability, this concerns the development of the Brain Domain, which alone is a foundation not yet mastered by ordinary people. In other words, Mental Power is somewhat akin to the meaning behind astral projection.

Next, you must achieve a completely unified state of mind. Aside from the scientific theory, it also encompasses a great deal of philosophical elements, like when you feel there's someone standing in front of you, and you open your eyes to find that person truly exists — this could be psychological, but it could also be a magnetic field effect.

However, when you sense there is clearly someone standing in front of you, and yet they don't exist, that's a philosophical problem, because what you're sensing may not necessarily be a person but a quantum fluctuation phenomenon.

To use a superstitious explanation — ahem, never mind.

In scientific explanations, every living thing has a magnetic field fluctuation, including nature. The only distinction between natural fluctuations and those of a living being's magnetic field is in the wavelength, hence living beings' fluctuations are easy to distinguish.

In contrast, Feng Yi wouldn't teleport through natural fluctuations on a whim. It's not that he couldn't, but that he wouldn't dare, because you can't be sure the exact location you teleport to won't be a one-way trip.
