Chapter 184 Reunion with Li Chengfeng


    The Floating City is targeting me.


    This was the only thing Han Ming could be sure of now.


    "Katherine! Katherine, are you there?"


    Although he knew that Katherine was in the midst of a tense closed-door cultivation and had clearly told him not to disturb her before, Han Ming had no choice but to muster his courage and call out to her.


    Because he had thought of a rather bad possibility, a possibility that made him feel restless.


    After all, attracting the attention of a huge force like the Floating City always made Han Ming extremely uneasy.


    "Speak!"


    Katherine''s cold voice came through.


    Upon hearing Katherine''s voice, Han Ming hesitated again.


    "Are you afraid to hear the news you don''t want to hear?"


    Katherine''s cold voice rang out again.


    Han Ming sighed softly. What Katherine said hit the nail on the head. The elf woman Katherine had been hiding in the dwelling ring on his finger. How much she had observed about his situation along the way, Han Ming didn''t know. But since she could ask such a question, at the very least, she must have known about the conversation with the fat man Roge just now.


    Han Ming gritted his teeth and calmed down for a while before finally mustering the courage to ask, "I want to ask you, what is the Floating City''s attitude towards invading our world?"


    After asking this question, Han Ming didn''t say anything more. He felt his heart pounding violently, like a heavy criminal waiting for the judge''s verdict.


    But Katherine fell silent.


    On the late-night street, garbage left by people after the carnival was scattered all over the ground.


    A gentle breeze blew, and several colorful paper-cuts fluttered towards Han Ming with a whoosh, slapping against his face with a snap.


    But Han Ming didn''t move at all. His heart was already in his throat, and he had no time to care about anything in the outside world.


    "Sigh... Do you really have to know?" Katherine sighed.


    Han Ming''s heart tightened violently, as if someone had grabbed it tightly. In fact, from Katherine''s words, Han Ming had already picked up some clues. But he didn''t want to believe this fact. He insisted on hearing it from Katherine herself.


    "The Floating City... has always been the most fanatical invader of your world..."


    "Hehe."


    Han Ming smiled weakly and said, "So does that mean that no matter whether the Floating City''s attitude towards me is good or bad at present, I will definitely end up on the opposite side of them?"


    "Take care of yourself."


    Katherine left this sentence and disappeared again.


    "Sigh..."


    Han Ming sighed deeply.


    Actually, at this point, there was no more point in asking anything.


    Han Ming still couldn''t figure out why some people in the Demon Realm and humanity were so eager to invade his world.


    If there were different voices within the dragon and elf races regarding invading his world, Han Ming wouldn''t be too troubled. After all, to them, he was just an ant. Or rather, even less significant than an ant. He could secretly work hard to defend his world. No matter what the future outcome would be, he could still make a difference.


    But now the problem was that the Floating City had set its sights on him, and he was determined to stop them from invading his world. Now that he had been exposed, the Floating City was eyeing him covetously.


    What should he do?


    Han Ming''s mind was in chaos for a moment.


    Fight them head-on?


    He was afraid he didn''t have the strength.


    The huge presence of the Floating City loomed behind Han Ming, constantly watching his every move, making him feel suffocated.


    How to confront it.


    Why did they want to invade his world?


    At this moment, Han Ming began to keep his distance from the Magic Guild. He didn''t return to the Magic Guild but went to the residence of Maren in the Rhine Empire.


    Previously, Maren had given Han Ming a pass, and with this pass, Han Ming walked in smoothly.


    Sitting quietly in the room, Han Ming didn''t sleep all night.


    There were just too many difficulties in front of him.


    The invasion of the Demon Realm, the coveting of the Floating City.


    All these made Han Ming feel powerless.


    Alone, how was he going to deal with them and continue to fight?


    Dawn was gradually breaking.


    A servant knocked on the door.


    "Come in."


    Han Ming stood by the window, having not slept all night.


    "Your breakfast." The servant placed a plate of exquisite vegetarian food on the table and respectfully withdrew.


    Han Ming had no appetite for food right now.


    With only half a month left until the two-month agreement deadline, Han Ming decided to leave without saying goodbye.


    There was nothing left here for him to linger on.


    Xiaoqi''s life was safe, the agreement of the Three-Nation Alliance had been signed, and the cooperation agreement for purchasing military supplies from Roge had also been signed.


    It was time to leave.


    That morning, Han Ming boarded the airship to Borderland City.


    One bite at a time for food, one step at a time for the road.


    Han Ming thought about it over and over but couldn''t come up with any good strategies. Fortunately, he stopped thinking too much. What he should be most concerned about now was the invasion of the Demon Realm.


    No matter what would happen in the future, at least he should get this matter done first.


    On the airship, Han Ming carefully analyzed the current situation.


    It seemed that it was impossible to destroy the Demon Realm''s magic array now. Because according to Maren, it had to rely on Xiaoqi''s power to accomplish. And now Xiaoqi hadn''t fully recovered yet. Moreover, he probably didn''t know how to destroy the Demon Realm''s magic array.


    In other words, even if they were lucky enough to break through the demon army''s defenses and reach the Ghost Domain, facing the magic array, they could only stare blankly and be helpless.


    After thinking for a long time, Han Ming finally made a decision.


    He wanted to form his own mercenary group.


    Joining the Three-Nation Alliance was certainly a good option, but it would greatly restrict his freedom.


    At that time, he would have to follow the orders of the country. Wherever the country sent him, he had to go. Even if they asked him to be a small officer transporting provisions, would he go?


    A few days later, the airship slowly landed in Borderland City.


    Han Ming stepped off the airship and walked towards the small inn he had stayed at before.


    Borderland City had the most men, and naturally, Han Ming attracted a lot of attention along the way.


    "The time left to revert to my original body should be only one or two days." Han Ming silently calculated in his heart, feeling a bit more cheerful. At least he didn''t have to maintain this disgusting woman''s body anymore.


    Arriving at the inn, Han Ming booked a room and hurriedly went to bed and fell asleep.


    Taken from Royal Road, this narrative should be reported if found on Amazon.


    As evening approached, Han Ming woke up and came to the inn''s dining hall to eat.


    Just as he walked halfway down the stairs, he saw a very familiar figure in the hall.


    "Second brother!!!?"


    Han Ming was overjoyed. The familiar tall figure was actually Li Chengfeng, whom he had been missing for a long time.


    This was great! After so much worry, he finally saw Li Chengfeng in person, and Han Ming finally breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he was safe and sound.


    Before Han Ming could walk up to greet him, the smile on his face suddenly froze.


    He saw another familiar figure.


    It was like a bolt from the blue hitting him on the head.


    Kuro...


    It was her...


    Looking at Kuro''s familiar figure, Han Ming''s heart pounded wildly, and he felt a surge of blood rushing to his head, with a trace of blood seeping from the corner of his mouth.


    What should I do?


    What should I do? Should I kill her?


    Han Ming stood painfully on the stairs, heartbroken.


    Not to mention whether he was willing to kill her, in terms of strength alone, he was no match for her.


    After a long time, Han Ming finally managed to calm his excited emotions.


    Then he suddenly wondered why Kuro was with his second brother Li Chengfeng.


    Had they known each other for a long time?


    A series of questions flashed through Han Ming''s mind.


    A feeling quietly swept across Han Ming''s heart.


    He felt a slight sourness in his heart.


    At this moment, Han Ming suddenly made a decision that even he himself didn''t expect.


    "Excuse me, may I sit here?" Han Ming asked.


    Li Chengfeng was carefully pouring tea for Kuro when he suddenly saw a very handsome girl standing in front of the table asking.


    When Li Chengfeng saw this girl, he was taken aback. He always felt that this girl looked very familiar, the more he looked, the more she resembled his younger brother Han Ming.


    Could there be such a similar pair of people in the world?


    Li Chengfeng was pleasantly surprised and said, "Come, come, sit down!"


    This girl was naturally Han Ming before he reverted to his original body.


    This girl really looks like his third brother. I wonder what expression his third brother will have when he sees her. Haha, just thinking about it is interesting.


    Li Chengfeng secretly thought, unable to help but laugh out loud. Of course, he wouldn''t be so foolish as to tell the girl that she looked like his brother. If he really said that, the girl might turn around and leave on the spot. Moreover, Li Chengfeng had a very kind feeling towards this girl. He couldn''t say where this feeling came from.


    "Are you two lovers?" Han Ming asked with a smile.


    "Hehe." Li Chengfeng looked at Kuro affectionately but didn''t deny it.


    Kuro shook her head and also raised her head to look at Han Ming.


    At this glance, Kuro''s heart made a loud noise. Her eyes stared straight at Han Ming''s face, full of disbelief.


    "You... you..."


    Kuro was so excited that she couldn''t speak. Too similar, really too similar to Han Ming... Not only in appearance but also in aura, she was very similar to Han Ming.


    "What''s wrong with me?" Han Ming asked with a smile, his heart bleeding.


    "It''s nothing..." Kuro shook her head disappointedly.


    Han Ming carefully observed that Li Chengfeng''s gaze towards Kuro was filled with deep affection. This kind of gaze made Han Ming feel very uncomfortable. At the same time, he analyzed that Kuro definitely hadn''t mentioned him to Li Chengfeng; otherwise, with Li Chengfeng''s character, he would never have designs on his girlfriend.


    Han Ming smiled, but a strange and even twisted idea emerged in his heart because he didn''t know how to deal with Kuro, how to face this woman who was both his enemy and his lover.


    He tried to escape this love-hate entangled relationship. But at this moment, sitting right in front of Kuro, he didn''t know what to do.


    He wanted to escape, he didn''t want to face it, so he made a decision that would break his own heart.


    "Li Chengfeng, right?" Han Ming asked with a smile.


    Li Chengfeng was slightly taken aback and asked in surprise, "Miss, how do you know my name?"


    Han Ming smiled and said, "Come with me, I have something to discuss with you."


    Li Chengfeng nodded in confusion and followed Han Ming out.


    But Kuro raised her head and stared tightly at Han Ming''s figure: "Too similar..."


    The two came outside, Han Ming took a deep breath, facing the passers-by on the street, struggling intensely in his heart.


    "What''s the matter?" Li Chengfeng asked.


    Han Ming sighed softly, adjusted his mindset, and said with a smile, "I''ve seen Han Ming!"


    "What!? You''ve seen my third brother!? Where is he? Is he okay now? Can you take me to find him?" Li Chengfeng was excited when he heard Han Ming say this.


    The Mont Empire was gone, and the Northern Alliance continent was so vast. Li Chengfeng didn''t know where to look for Han Ming. In this vast sea of people, if their fate wasn''t strong enough, perhaps they really wouldn''t have the chance to meet in this lifetime. This thought made Li Chengfeng very sad. He had only recognized one younger brother in his life. Although he had an elder brother Sagus and a younger sister he had never met, in terms of feelings, these one brother and one sister could never compare to Han Ming in Li Chengfeng''s heart.


    Han Ming smiled and said, "Meeting him was also a coincidence. As you can probably tell, we look very alike."


    Li Chengfeng laughed heartily and nodded repeatedly: "Like! Indeed like! If you weren''t a girl, I would really have thought you were my third brother!"


    "Yeah, Han Ming knows I''m very similar to him, so he anticipated that if one day you saw me, you would involuntarily want to get to know me. And he has described what you look like, so I can probably guess it''s you. Han Ming is currently doing something very, very secretive. This matter prevents him from revealing his true identity, and he has also said that if I have the honor to meet you first, I must tell you, never tell anyone that your third brother is named Han Ming! You must remember this point!"


    "What!? This brat! Even doesn''t want to acknowledge his second brother? I''m going to kill him!"


    Li Chengfeng was unwilling to hear this.


    "You don''t have to worry too much. After this matter is settled, he will naturally find you. You don''t have to worry, he doesn''t want to avoid you because he''s afraid of dragging you down, he said, he''s afraid you''ll drag him down."


    Upon hearing this, Li Chengfeng''s eyes widened in disbelief, and after a moment of stunned silence, he nodded: "Yeah, such nonsense really sounds like something my third brother would say. This kid is just like me, not liking to dawdle with another man. He must really be afraid of dragging me down. But since he made this decision, there must be his reasons. I''ve always believed in him."


    "So... in the future, if we need to mention Han Ming, it''s best to just call him ''Third Brother''."


    "Yeah, Third Brother it is!"
