It's Not Easy to Be a Man After Travelling to the Future - Chapter 1386

Chapter 1386: The Result Of Hunger

At this realization, Li Lanfeng was in despair. Did this mean that he doesn’t have any hope at all?

‘No! Nothing is certain until the last moment. I still have a chance. I must have.’

Li Lanfeng’s eyes were sparkling. Initially, he was planning on progressing their relationship slowly. He wanted to ingrain himself into Ling Lan’s heart with baby steps. However, the arrival of Luo Chao and Han Xuya lit a fire under his butt. He now understood he must take the initiative. If not, he would lose everything.

“In the past, I unintentionally noticed that Qi Long’s gaze is a little special when he looks at Xuya. That’s why I took notice of it.” The moment Li Lanfeng decided to take the initiative, he wouldn’t be soft-hearted.

“Qi Long has been hiding it from me very well,” Ling Lan controlled her urge to roll her eyes as she spoke calmly.

It was no surprise that they were starting to look for love since they were now adults. She still remembered in the past when Han Xuya confessed to Qi Long. That brat rejected her directly with the reason of wanting to focus on becoming stronger.

“I think he’s just afraid of offending you. After all, Xuya is your woman. Even if Qi Long really likes her, he won’t dare to say it.” Li Lanfeng pushed forward secretly again.

“You know that I was heavily injured at that time so I had to accept Luo Chao and Xuya’s care under those circumstances. My family rule is like this so I must abide by it. But, if the two of them like each other, I can’t heartlessly break them up, right? But, the brat’s performance really disappoints me. He is really bad,” Ling Lan said angrily.

Was she so unreasonable in Qi Long’s eyes?

“Maybe the more you love someone, the harder it is to break the status quo… Plus, Qi Long has respected you ever since he was young. He takes you as his elder brother. He might feel bad if he troubled you with his love struggles.” Li Lanfeng pretended to be speaking up for Qi Long.

“I have to thank you for telling me this, Li Lanfeng.” Ling Lan felt thankful in her heart. She didn’t believe that Li Lanfeng had a slip of his tongue. He must have discovered something so he used this chance to remind her.

Ling Lan lifted her right hand and rubbed the middle of her eyebrows. In the future, she might have to worry about her younger sisters’ marriage to prevent some men from snatching them away when she wasn’t paying attention.

Although Qi Long was a brother she groomed personally, in this case, she would stand on her younger sister’s side. If anyone dared to bully her younger sisters, even if they were her brothers, she would beat them up.

Li Lanfeng saw this and hurried forward. He stood behind Ling Lan and helped her to massage her temples.

“Actually, there’s no need to be angry. You should know that you’re the dream lover of all the women in the Federation. If you want, there will be a line of women waiting to marry you,” Li Lanfeng comforted Ling Lan softly. He was afraid that the issue he said would make him Ling Lan unhappy.

“The Federation? Dream lover? Isn’t that talking about my father?” Ling Lan felt speechless. Everyone envied her but to her, this was nothing to be happy about.

“That’s the generation before us. Two years ago, the military did a survey. The person that the ladies in our generation wanted to marry the most is you.” Li Lanfeng’s heart was dripping blood. If he had a choice, he didn’t want to say this. This meant that he had many potential love rivals, too many. What made him the most frustrated was that he still reminded Ling Lan about it voluntarily. Li Lanfeng felt that in this relationship, all of his actions were getting dumber by the second.

“You mean that without Han Xuya, there will still be many ladies waiting for me to pick?” Ling Lan finally understood why Li Lanfeng said this to her. She found it infuriating and funny at the same time. She felt touched too. Without a doubt, Li Lanfeng was worried that Qi Long and Han Xuya’s issue would hurt her so he took great care to console her with those words.

“You said it.” Li Lanfeng pushed the blame away from him instantly.

“I’m not a stud,” Ling Lan said with disdain. “One wife is enough for me. Also, I don’t have the heart to think about these now. This is what I’ve discovered during this period of time. Lanfeng, take a look at it.” Ling Lan quickly ended the useless conversation and took a file from her table. She passed it to Li Lanfeng who was behind her.

Li Lanfeng took the file and quickly read through it. About a minute later, he closed the file.

“What do you think?” Ling Lan leaned back on her chair and turned her chair to face Li Lanfeng.

Li Lanfeng placed the file back on the table and contemplated for a while before replying, “The waters in the Lawless Lands are very deep. It’s deeper than we expected.”

“You see it too.” The corners of Ling Lan’s lips moved up slightly.

“That’s because the information you chose is very useful. It’s all very scattered but once you put them together, you’ll still be able to notice a link between them.” Admiration flashed past Li Lanfeng’s eyes.

“The difficulty has increased but this is an opportunity for us too.” Ling Lan’s eyes shone brightly. At first, she thought that she would need at least eight to ten years to complete her goal but from the looks of it, if she planned her steps properly, she might be able to reach her goal faster.

Li Lanfeng said, “Diverting attention!”

Ling Lan said, “Substituting one for another!”

The two of them came up with their opinions simultaneously. When they heard each other’s words, they exchanged a glance and smiled. Their plans were different but they knew that the result was the same.

Recently, the entire rainbow palace was very busy, from the top all the way to the bottom.

Whether it was the authoritative figures of the rainbow palace, or the maids, all of them very extremely busy.

During this time, the biggest change was the life of the maids. At the start, they always lowered their heads in fear but now, they were able to look straight into anyone’s eyes.

Anyone, including the men under the other 13 Lords or the authoritative figures in the rainbow palace, felt their hearts shaking if they laid their eyes on these maids.

The maids were able to be so confident… Yes, and it was all because they were the personal guards of Lord Gen’s wives.

That’s right, those maids who didn’t have any pride, the maids that could be bullied by anyone in the past, were gathered by the two wives of Lord Gen. Out of boredom, they gathered the maids to train them into their personal guards. The two wives even set a rule. The maids had to come to training every morning. All their work would be shifted to the afternoon. No one was supposed to disturb them during their training.

What? What about those team leaders, managers, or guardians who didn’t have anyone serving them?

Nothing would happen. If they couldn’t accept this, they could find Lord Gen for their maids.

This was the oppressive reply the two wives gave them.

Such actions undoubtedly ignited people’s anger. So unsurprisingly, the infuriated group of guardians and managers went to look for Lord Gen to give them an answer.

They looked for a long time and finally found their Lord Gen in the kitchen.

When they saw him, they were all dumbstruck.

The powerful Lord Gen in their memory was raising a kitchen knife and gesturing the knife at a fish on the chopping board. He seemed to be considering how he should cut the fist.

He looked… a little disheveled.

When Lord Gen saw them, he asked calmly, “What’s the matter?”

When he found out what they were here for, he replied with a question. “Don’t you have hands?”

“So?”

“So… you go make your own breakfast! Do you understand?” Lord Gen growled furiously at them. He looked like a malevolent devil coming from the depths of hell. No one dared to protest anymore.

After everyone calmed down and analysed the situation, they instantly understood that the malicious gaze from their Lord Gen was because he was too hungry.
