Chapter 407: Chapter 403 Departure

Staying in the tender land of love, five days passed in the blink of an eye.

Upon opening his eyes, Ling Chen looked at the hazy sky outside the window, then retracted his gaze and turned to look at Nanrong Wanqing, who was sound asleep in his arms.

Nanrong Wanqing was hugging his body with both hands, her legs slightly curled, just like a little cat, enjoying the warmth of his embrace.

Looking at her enchanting face, Ling Chen couldn’t help but raise his hand and gently stroke her smooth cheek, pushing away a few strands of hair that had fallen on her forehead, and planted a light kiss there.

Perhaps feeling the moisture of Ling Chen’s lips, the sleeping Nanrong Wanqing fluttered her eyelashes, opened her eyes slightly, and sleepily looked at Ling Chen beside her, lazily said: "It’s still not bright outside, why are you awake already." With that said, Nanrong Wanqing squeezed into Ling Chen’s embrace, finding a comfortable position, and continued to lie down.

Ling Chen looked down and just caught a glimpse of the snow-white cleavage that had been squeezed out from Nanrong Wanqing’s neckline.

Men always have an involuntary physical reaction in the morning, and Ling Chen was no exception. At the moment, smelling the faint scent of Nanrong Wanqing’s body undoubtedly made Ling Chen’s reaction even more intense.

Thinking that he would have to leave soon, if not taking the chance to be intimate now, when would he? Immediately, Ling Chen rolled over and pressed Nanrong Wanqing’s delicate body beneath him.

Looking at Ling Chen above her, Nanrong Wanqing’s eyes held a shy charm, and she pouted with a flushed face: "Stop it, it’s still early in the morning. If I had known you were this naughty, I wouldn’t have fallen for your tricks and slept with you last night."

"We’ve already slept together, are you thinking of going back on that now? Come on, give me a kiss."

"You... mmh..."

Before Nanrong Wanqing could finish speaking, her cherry-like mouth was blocked by Ling Chen’s.

...

After a session of tenderness, it was already past six in the morning, and the sky was gradually getting brighter outside the window.

Looking at Nanrong Wanqing panting softly in his arms, her cheeks blushing, Ling Chen smiled proudly.

Nanrong Wanqing complained: "You’re still smiling, it’s all your fault, not letting anyone get a good sleep. I still have to work today."

"Then keep sleeping, it’s about time for me to leave."

Hearing this, Nanrong Wanqing immediately sat up from the bed, and asked reluctantly: "Then when will you be back?"

"For now, I’m not sure, but I promise you, once things are handled, I will rush back as soon as possible." After a pause, Ling Chen continued: "I have asked two friends to secretly protect you while I’m not here, so there won’t be any safety issues."

Nanrong Wanqing urged: "Take good care of yourself when you’re out there alone, remember to look after yourself."

"Alright, wifey, I’m not a child, there’s no need to worry about me."

Hearing him calling her wifey, Nanrong Wanqing’s face flushed with shyness, and she muttered: "I haven’t agreed to marry you yet, don’t call me that." Her words said one thing, but the slight curl of her lips betrayed her true feelings.

With a smile in his eyes, Ling Chen said: "You’ve slept in my bed, and you still think you can run away. Alright, I have to go now, everyone is waiting for me."

After getting dressed and freshening up, Ling Chen changed into his clothes, picked up the backpack already prepared, and left the Nanrong Family alone.

On his way, Ling Chen received a phone call from Qiu Yong, telling him to go directly to the harbor in East Sea City.

The harbor? Are we taking a ship to attend the Heavenly Mechanism Great Ceremony?

Thinking to himself, Ling Chen then turned the car around and headed towards the harbor.

Twenty minutes later, Ling Chen parked the car in the parking lot outside the harbor. Arriving at the roadside, he saw Qiu Yong and others standing outside the harbors’ gates, waiting for his arrival.

"Big brother, second brother..." Ling Chen hurried over and greeted everyone with a smile.

Qiu Yong nodded and said: "Everyone is here, let’s set off."

As expected, their mode of transportation this time was a passenger ship, and moreover, a luxurious one. Ling Chen noticed that the surface of the ship was also marked with the pattern of the Heavenly Mechanism Sword, indicating that it belonged to the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion.

"Wow, the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion is really rich," Ling Chen muttered under his breath.

Xia Yue, who was walking beside him, gave Ling Chen a look and said: "You think all the people from the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion are hermits living in seclusion, untouched by the worldly smoke? We are in modern times now, even organizations like the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion with hundreds of years of legacy have to keep up with the times. Besides, without solid financial support, the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion would probably have dissolved long ago."

While talking, the group boarded the passenger ship.

A middle-aged man in a suit greeted them with a smile at the boarding gate. Seeing Qiu Yong and the others coming aboard, he immediately approached with a beaming smile: "Elder Qiu, it has been a long time since I’ve seen you. It is an honor for the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion to have you attending this edition of the Heavenly Mechanism Great Ceremony."

Qiu Yong glanced at him and said indifferently: "Zhong Yang, spare me the pleasantries. We are here to broaden the horizons of my sixth brother."

Hearing this, the middle-aged man named Zhong Yang immediately turned his gaze toward Ling Chen and smiled: "I suppose this gentleman must be Mr. Ling, truly a person of outstanding appearance. Gentlemen, I am the host for your trip, feel free to ask for anything you need, and the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion will do its best to accommodate everyone’s requests."

After speaking, Zhong Yang led everyone to a luxurious suite. The suite had three bedrooms and two living rooms, very spacious and fully equipped, almost having everything available, comparable to a presidential suite in a high-end hotel.

"Elder Qiu, please rest for a while. I have other guests to attend to. Contact me by phone if you need anything."

After Zhong Yang left, Ling Chen threw his backpack on the bed, walked straight to the window, and looking out at the azure ocean and the clear sky, he felt incredibly relaxed and at ease.

"Sixth brother, there’s no need to be too nervous, just remember the training you’ve done recently, and dealing with Yi Shuiyan won’t be a problem," Yuan Yun patted Ling Chen’s shoulder, encouraging him.

"Third brother, you’re worrying too much," Ling Chen grinned, after all, he was someone who had seen the world, and nervousness was almost non-existent to him.

"Third brother, do you know where they will host the Heavenly Mechanism Great Ceremony this time?"

"How would I know? The Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion’s actions are always mysterious, and the places they choose for the ceremony are even more bizarre each time. If my memory serves me right, a few years ago, the Heavenly Mechanism Great Ceremony was held on a snow mountain in the north. There wasn’t a soul in sight for hundreds of miles around; everyone who went to the ceremony complained bitterly, freezing half to death. Luckily, big brother was wise not to accept the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion’s invitation. Otherwise, we would have had to suffer along," said Yuan Yun.

"Really?" After hearing what Yuan Yun had said, Ling Chen became even more curious about where this edition of the Heavenly Mechanism Great Ceremony would take place.

After waiting in the room for about two hours, the passenger ship finally started, slowly departing from the harbor, heading towards the destination.
