“This is the place!”
The airship gradually stopped and floated in the air. Below was an boundless wilderness, but amidst the wilderness, there were blooming flowers.
Flowers covered the ground, looking like a sea of flowers.
“What a beautiful place.”
Qu Chen was also excited. It was not easy to find such a beautiful place in the wilderness of the Outland.
“I’ll take you down.”
Lin Feng smiled and carried Qu Chen in his arms again before stepping out of the airship.
The breeze blew, and the fragrance of pollen was mixed in the air. Qu Chen had never felt so romantic, especially when Lin Feng’s face was so close to her. It felt like she had not looked at Lin Feng so carefully before.
“Grr…”
However, there were still some dire beasts in the sea of flowers that seemed to have sensed Lin Feng and Qu Chen. They growled, but since they could not fly, they could only watch Lin Feng while unable to do anything.
Qu Chen was shocked. She was originally a little afraid. This was the wilderness of the Outland, filled with savage dire beasts. However, seeing how calm Lin Feng was, she also relaxed.
The Lin Feng beside her was now a Sage!
An unprecedented sense of security filled Qu Chen’s heart. At this moment, she was really willing to be immersed in such a beautiful and warm atmosphere forever.
“I happened to see this beautiful sea of flowers when the airship flew past it. It would be a pity not to come and take a look at such a beautiful scenery.”
“That’s right. It’s really beautiful.”
Qu Chen also praised from the bottom of her heart. Not only was the scenery beautiful, there were also those savage dire beasts. Wasn’t it particularly interesting to quietly admire the beautiful scenery while surrounded by so many dire beasts?
Qu Chen had already melted into the beautiful scenery and Lin Feng’s sudden romance.
However, this was not the end. Lin Feng suddenly said, “Chenchen, let’s get married.”
“What did you say?”
“Get married!”
Lin Feng took out a dazzling gem. It was not big, but it was very exquisite and emitted a gentle light. It appeared as if it could intoxicate anyone.
At this moment, Qu Chen’s mind went blank. It was not because of this gem, but because of Lin Feng’s words.
Married? Lin Feng was going to marry her?
“Chenchen, leave the Polar Academy. My League of Guardians needs you. It’s not inferior to the Polar Academy. Moreover, we can still be together!”
Qu Chen’s mind was in a mess. She did not even know how to answer.
Initially, she was a little worried that there would be some changes after Lin Feng became a Sage. However, from the looks of it now, she was overthinking things. The Lin Feng before her was still the same Lin Feng from before, completely unchanged!
After returning to the Polar Academy, Qu Chen bade farewell to some of her best friends in the dormitory. She was going to drop out of school.
In reality, considering her relationship with Lin Feng, it was indeed inappropriate for her to stay in the Polar Academy anymore. Could Lin Feng’s League of Guardians not provide the resources that the Polar Academy could?
Hence, Qu Chen dropping out of school and following Lin Feng to the League of Guardians was the most suitable choice. With Lin Feng’s representation, it was naturally very convenient for Qu Chen to settle the withdrawal procedures.
After settling the withdrawal procedures, Qu Chen packed her things and entered the airship with Lin Feng, flying towards the League of Guardians Headquarters.
In the airship, Lin Feng asked Qu Chen about the genetic lock. According to Qu Chen, she had not reached the level of breaking the genetic lock yet.
The main reason was that Qu Chen’s physique was still a little lacking. If she stayed in the Polar Academy and practiced martial arts step by step, she would probably have to wait for two or three years before she could break the genetic lock.
However, after returning to the League of Guardians, with Lin Feng’s help, it would not be a problem at all for her physique to increase to the critical point where she could break the genetic lock.
Soon, the airship landed in the League of Guardians. There were already martial artists coming to welcome them.
Lin Feng held Qu Chen’s hand and left the airship. The martial artists who came to welcome them were all dazed.
“Chenchen, this is the League of Guardians Headquarters. They are the first official members of the League of Guardians!”
Qu Chen looked at the beautiful, sci-fi-like building and found it incredible. Apart from these martial artists, there was also the robot over a hundred meters tall. It was also extremely stunning.
“Is this robot the one that had a great battle with you?” Qu Chen asked curiously.
“That’s right. It’s an ancient civilization’s war machine. After I defeated it, I’ve already regained control of its core. Hence, it’s under my command now. I’ve given it a new name, the Guardian, and it’s presiding over the League of Guardians’ headquarters!”
“Guardian? What a good name!”
Qu Chen was also a smart woman. The meaning of the League of Guardians was to protect loved ones, lovers, and all of humanity. Wasn’t Lin Feng’s establishment of the League of Guardians a clear indication of his intentions?
“In the League of Guardians, I’ll give you some authority. You can take a look around. By the way, you can’t neglect your martial arts either. I’ll let you use the Body Strengthening Technique to allow your physique to reach a certain level in a short period of time. Then, you can try to break the genetic lock.”
Qu Chen nodded. Although she did not know what the Body Strengthening Technique was, she felt very at ease with Lin Feng’s arrangements.
Lin Feng bringing Qu Chen back also caused a commotion in the League of Guardians. However, on careful thought, Lin Feng was only in his twenties. He was even younger than most of the martial artists. It was normal for him to have a girlfriend and a fiancée.
Hence, Qu Chen’s status in the League of Guardians had imperceptibly become the “Missus”. Every martial artist was very respectful to Qu Chen, even though Qu Chen had not even broken the genetic lock.
For the next period of time, Lin Feng did his best to help Qu Chen improve her physique. He meticulously chose two types of dire beast genes, both of which were especially suitable for Qu Chen.
Then, Qu Chen fused with them. In just half a month, Qu Chen’s physique had improved substantially, even several times compared to before.
In addition, Lin Feng guided Qu Chen on some martial arts, allowing Qu Chen to have a deep understanding of martial arts, martial techniques, and the relationship between the body and the genetic lock.
Lin Feng did not conceal things from Qu Chen. He explained the theory of the genetic lock in detail to Qu Chen, as well as knowledge of Astral Power. In fact, it allowed Qu Chen to no longer have any questions on the theory.
Lin Feng had helped Qu Chen avoid many pitfalls, but that was all he did. Whether she could break the genetic lock ultimately depended on Qu Chen herself. Even Lin Feng could do nothing about it.
However, Qu Chen was still very young and was not in a hurry. She was also very confident that she would definitely be able to break the genetic lock at some point in the future!
Time passed in a flash. A month quickly went by.
Lin Feng and Qu Chen were inseparable. Their relationship was already very stable. Lin Feng even planned to find a time to get engaged first, and then hold a grand wedding.
However, Qu Chen said that there was no hurry. She wanted Lin Feng to settle the League of Guardians first. It wouldn’t be too late to hold the engagement ceremony after everything was on track. So, Lin Feng followed Qu Chen’s suggestion.

After a month, the date of Zhang Qiji’s wedding arrived. Lin Feng naturally did not forget. After preparing the gifts, he and Qu Chen boarded the airship and left the League of Guardians Headquarters.
