Seeing no one around, Fang Cheng was very unceremonious in taking the medicinal wine. Fang Cheng had heard from his father that the Nether Emperor's medical skills surpassed Hua Tuo. In front of such a doctor, pretending to be strong would just be hypocrisy. In recent years, he indeed felt that his body was somewhat hollowed out, and he had been planning to get this medicinal wine for a long time. He hadn't been able to purchase any, but today, having obtained a large bottle, why would Fang Cheng be courteous? Soon after, Xia Liu couldn't help but burst into laughter. Fang Fei's parents were already dealt with, and now all he needed to do was complete the mission, and he could take Fang Fei home. During lunch, Xia Liu's appearance made all the relatives from the Fang Family Clan who knew his identity tremble. But then, Fang Cheng and Lin Shuxia kept speaking up for Xia Liu, and soon everyone accepted him. Fang Huasheng was also overjoyed when he saw this scene. The legendary figure of the Nether Emperor was about to become the son-in-law of the Fang Family, and if word of this got out, half the world would probably both admire and fear the Fang Family. Xia Liu spent a delightful two days at the Fang Family. Although his room was separate from Fang Fei's, she would sneak into Xia Liu's room every night when no one was watching. Thus, these two days were even more cheerful. Finally, the day to execute the mission arrived. After covering Fang Fei with a light blanket in the morning, Xia Liu got up and went downstairs. "Good lad, you're more than ten minutes late," Fang Huasheng said sourly as he saw Xia Liu coming down, looking refreshed. "Sorry, I drank too much and went to bed late last night." "I bet you didn't sleep at all last night, and don't think I don't know about it — Fei'er clinging to you. I don't care, but if the mission isn't completed perfectly, you'll have to deal with it yourself." "Hehe, I will definitely complete the mission perfectly — the Spearhead Troop is waiting to take in Lingtian," Xia Liu said with a bitter smile, realizing the old man knew him very well, even being blunt about such matters. "Good, I'm not going anywhere these days; I'll just stay at home and wait for news from you and Lingtian. Yi Feng, take him to the car." Watching the tail lights vanish from sight, Fang Huasheng gradually began to smile, "Just like you, the first time is there, why wouldn't there be a second? Hahaha..." At a fisherman's dock in Liuhai City, Ouyang Lingtian looked at the time, his face growing darker. In such a gloomy and cold atmosphere, Xia Liu and Yi Feng finally arrived. "Good morning, Young Master Ouyang." "You are half an hour late!" Ouyang Lingtian scolded, furious at Xia Liu, who treated the mission as a joke. "It's not my fault, Yi Feng was driving too slowly," Xia Liu said with a downcast face. Pfft! Yi Feng nearly stumbled and fell. Xia Liu's deflection was masterful, making Yi Feng almost want to kill him. Unfortunately, knowing how fearsome Xia Liu could be, Yi Feng dared not say anything and could only respond to Ouyang Lingtian with a wry smile. "Let it go, let's get on the boat quickly, or we won't reach the Island Nation in two days," Ouyang Lingtian said, knowing it wasn't the time to be annoyed with Xia Liu. Only if he completed the mission would this guy soften up. "We're taking this?" Xia Liu asked, astonished at the roughly ten-meter-long fishing boat in front of him. "What else do you want? Take a plane and announce to the Island Nation that you've arrived?" Ouyang Lingtian said with disdain. "That's not a bad idea; it could save a lot of time." Xia Liu thought about it, finding his remark quite legitimate. "Dear Mr. Xia Liu, this was arranged by General Fang. Please bear with it. This mission is secret, so..." "Hehe, I know Yi Feng; I just wanted to hear this guy's nonchalant remarks." "Haha, I wish you a safe return." Yi Feng said with an awkward smile. These 'enemies' were traveling together by boat to the Island Nation, hoping that these two days would allow them to get along well. Otherwise, the Island Nation might be in for some bad luck... "The boatman is coming; watch you don't blow your cover." Yi Feng warned as he saw a middle-aged man approaching. Ouyang Lingtian and Xia Liu merely smiled and said nothing. "Over there, these are two friends of mine going to the Island Nation for work; make sure you get them there safely." "Don't worry, I've been doing this for over a decade and have always delivered safely," the middle-aged man said, taking the envelope from Yi Feng and squinting with a smile. After the old man boarded the ship, several young people came over. Once everyone was in place, the ship officially set sail. Xia Liu and Ouyang Lingtian watched from the bow for a while before they both entered the cabin. Only after being led by the young people to the rest cabin did Xia Liu realize. Yi Feng was sneaky, actually arranging for him to smuggle himself over with a group of young men and women. Ouyang Lingtian was indifferent since he had encountered such methods numerous times before. Fortunately, everything on the ship was calm and smooth. The fishing boat had left Liuhai City in the early morning, and by 5 A.M., when the sky was about to lighten, they had entered the waters of the Island Nation. Once in the Island Nation's waters, Xia Liu, Ouyang Lingtian, and the other men and women smugglers were transferred onto a fishing boat with the Island Nation's flag. Entering the Island Nation without any identification was the safest way. By around one in the afternoon, Xia Liu and Ouyang Lingtian had reached the shore. Before them lay a sparsely populated small dock, and the boat's crew unceremoniously hurried Xia Liu and the others off the boat. The group of men and women disembarked and quickly scattered. "Where's the contact?" Looking around, besides the smugglers running off, Xia Liu didn't see a soul. "Just wait a bit more." Ouyang Lingtian also felt anxious as it was already the appointed time, yet Fang Huasheng's arranged contact had not yet arrived. It was very likely they had been discovered. Just as Ouyang Lingtian felt uneasy, a small speedboat was rapidly approaching. Hearing the sound of the speedboat, Ouyang Lingtian looked back and said, "Here it comes." Xia Liu glanced over; there were two people on the speedboat, a young man and a woman, both looking quite ordinary. Perhaps it was this very ordinary appearance that allowed them to infiltrate the Island Nation unnoticed. "General Ouyang! Sorry, we are late!" the man said with a bitter face as the speedboat docked. "General Ouyang?" Xia Liu looked at the young man and then at Ouyang Lingtian, finding it incredibly unbelievable. This guy actually made it to the rank of general, quite revealing indeed. "It's fine; we just arrived too. And who is this?" Ouyang Lingtian asked, looking at the young woman with curiosity. "Hello, General Ouyang. My name is Lu Lizhen, and my code name here is Muzi." Muzi introduced herself sternly. Your next journey awaits at My Virtual Library Empire "Understood, Yan Min, take us over," Lingtian said. "Alright!" The young man said with a smile, and once Xia Liu and Ouyang Lingtian boarded the speedboat, they immediately set off. "General Ouyang, who is he?" Yan Min asked, looking at Xia Liu, completely puzzled. "Yan Min, you can just call me Lingtian. This is Xia Liu; he's here to help me complete the mission," Lingtian explained. "Pff! General Ouyang, you make me sound so cheap," Xia Liu thought to himself, wanting to slap Ouyang Lingtian in the face for daring to take credit for himself in front of the contact person.
