It's Not Easy to Be a Man After Travelling to the Future (WN)

1361 Depend On Your Performance!

Ji Ming and Yu Shangfei kneeled for a while longer before they finally found their strength again. They slowly stood up.

“Do you think that we’re doing the right thing?” Yu Shangfei wiped the sweat off his forehead as he asked with uncertainty.

“If he’s really powerful, the three leaders of the factions will not change anything. However, if he is just… don’t blame me for being merciless.” A ray of ambition flashed passed Ji Ming’s eyes. Since anyone could be Lord Gen, why couldn’t it be him? The two powerful subordinates of Lord Gen had already left. He was now all alone in the rainbow palace. Ji Ming felt that he had a chance.

“Rawr!” (Master, that asshole wants to betray you.)

Little White was in charge of watching over the entire rainbow palace so it heard the exchange between Ji Ming and Yu Shangfei clearly, so it immediately reported to Ling Lan angrily.

Ling Lan laid on the soft bed in her room lazily with her eyes closed. She seemed to be asleep. She caressed Little White’s furry body and said calmly, “It’s alright. I can use him as a warning to others. At least, I don’t need to search for one anymore.”

“Rawr!” (Okay. Master, I can help you with this.)

Little White waved its tentacles excitedly. This was definitely an opportunity for it to perform. It would make use of this opportunity when the person who always prevented it from performing, that irritating person, wasn’t here (the irritating person was Li Lanfeng).

“Sure. I’ve fed you till you’re so fat so it makes sense that you help me with some things.” Ling Lan smiled as she pinched Little White’s fat body. The feeling is not bad.

“Rawr…” (No way, Little White isn’t fat!)

Little White waved its tentacles angrily. (Don’t think that just because I came from other planets, I don’t understand human language. Master is definitely teasing me. Master is so bad.)

“Not fat? If you use your body to knockout those three people, I’ll believe you.” Ling Lan opened her eyes and smiled as she pointed at Little White’s fat forehead with her finger.

Little White wrapped its tentacles around Ling Lan’s forefinger and whined. “Master, Little White can definitely do it. Hence, Little White isn’t fat. I’m really not fat. Really, really not fat.”

Little White was smart. In the past, its master said that if it got fatter, she would cook it and eat it. ‘I still remembered this. I wouldn’t give master any chance of cooking me. Hmph!’

“That’ll depend on your performance.” Ling Lan didn’t expect Little White to take her joke for real and still remember it until now.

Actually, as long as there was a strong spiritual fluctuation in Little White’s mind, Ling Lan would be able to detect its thoughts through the spiritual waves even if it didn’t ‘rawr’. Little White thought that it was thinking silently but in actual fact, Ling Lan knew almost everything it was saying in its mind. Similarly, Li Lanfeng could read Little White’s mind too. That was why Little White always lost to Li Lanfeng. Imagine if you tell your opponent what you want to do to him… if you could still succeed, it was definitely because your opponent felt that you were too pitiful and decided to cooperate with your plan.

Let’s give some tears of sympathy to our naive and cute Little White!

Three days passed with a snap of the finger. During these three days, Ling Lan was either cultivating or meditating. Compared to three days ago, her mindscape was in a much better state. Her mindscape at least wasn’t dry anymore as there was a thin layer of spiritual sea. Her internal injuries had almost fully recovered with the help of the Qi exercises. After recovering, she could now use her ice element concept, but her Profound Insight was still a problem as it was still bound by the unknown concept.

This was a lethal problem. When she activated her Profound Insight, the amount of concept energy consumed would increase twofold. The consumption of energy was calculated by the second. The first second, the energy consumed was normal. The next second, the energy consumed was twice of the first second. The third second, it would be four times of the first second. The fourth second, it would be eight times and the fifth second, it would be 16 times… Based on the amount of energy she had, she could only activate her Profound Insight for 53 seconds. It wasn’t even one minute. This was a sad thing.

“What’s that unknown concept?” Ling Lan already tried using all of her energy. It was still 53 seconds, not a second more and not a second less. She was tired and helpless. She started meditating to restore her energy.

This was already her third test. But, she still didn’t understand what that unknown concept was. Besides wasting her Profound Insight energy exponentially, there weren’t any other implications. This revelation made her quite confused. Currently, she was in a normal situation but during a battle, she didn’t know if the unknown concept would cause any trouble.

After recovering her energy, Ling Lan didn’t investigate the unknown concept anymore. Instead, she had a comfortable sleep to be full of spirit and energy when she welcomed the three leaders.

Today, Ling Lan was wearing red too… For some reason, the servants at the rainbow palace liked to prepare red gowns for her. Ling Lan never cared about her style so she just wore whatever that was prepared. She didn’t like rich colours but every time she saw the servant carefully walking over with the red gown and the fear and anticipation in their eyes, Ling Lan didn’t want to disappoint them.

Besides the colour, these gowns were really comfortable to wear. They were well-fitted too. Ling Lan really respected those servants. They only served her occasionally and never touched her body but they were able to get the right proportions just by looking at her. They were quite impressive.

Ling Lan admired such workmanship so she respected them a lot.

At this moment, Ling Lan sensed something in the main hall. She moved instantly and appeared on her ice throne in the main hall in an instant.

The main hall wasn’t as dark and gloomy as it was in the past. But, it was very cold, so cold that a normal person would the instant they walked in.

To prevent the weaker servants from getting hurt, Ling Lan restricted them from entering the main hall.

Anyone who entered the main hall was required to have a certain amount of strength. This rule, in the future, would serve as a guide in measuring the strength of the people in the Lawless Lands. It would become a legend. Of course, that was in the future. We shall not talk about it now.

The main hall was so cold the temperature should be around zero kelvin. Hence, by right, besides some unique flowers and plants, nothing could survive here. Yet, strangely, in the two rows of flower beds at the side of the main hall, there was a plant that looked like the zephyr lily, which looked like an ordinary green plant.

No one knew what plant this was because Lord Gen had planted them personally. They started sprouting in two days and after another day, they flourished. The pale main hall appeared lively because of them.
