Zhongzhou, Shenmu City
The group didnât stay in Shenmu City for long. If it wasnât for Small Shadiao being in danger, they all had their own things to take care of. So, after seeing Lin Cunjian and the others, they left.
Lin Jiang took out the things from the storage bag. It was all prey captured by Small Shadiao, most of which had already been cut and ready to be used. They would use what they could and sell what they couldnât refine properly.
Lin Jiang estimated that this journey into the Wilderness would bring in at least three to four million spirit stones, which was decades worth of profits for Fengyun Trading Company.
"Well, raising Small Shadiao wasnât in vain. Letâs find an opportunity for it to continue hunting."
Lin Jiang was very satisfied in his heart. With this income, he finally relieved some of his difficulties. Otherwise, without any money, Lin Jiang didnât feel safe.
Having earned money, Lin Jiang treated Small Shadiao kindly. He immediately rewarded it with a bottle of Beast Spirit Pill. Beast Spirit Pill was expensive, but beasts loved it.
Having earned money, Small Shadiao deserved a reward. Lin Jiang couldnât treat it poorly either. After selling most of the beast materials, Lin Jiang went to Qinghuan Tower to pass the time and listen to music.
After a pleasant chat, Lin Jiang went into the hall and joined a group of tricky merchants. They chatted and shared information. Despite each merchant being individually weak, when they united, their power was considerable. This time, Lin Jiang could only sell most of his monster materials with their help. If he had to do it on his own, who knows how much time it would take.
"Brother Xiao, you and your father are really similar. Even Qinghuan Tower came together. Are father and son going to compete?"
As soon as Lin Jiang sat down, a familiar shopkeeper came over and teased him.
"Father and son? What father and son?"
Lin Jiang was confused. Did he mean Small Shadiao, the father and son?
"Stop pretending. I know you recently made a fortune. Whatâs the big deal for a father and son to fight together in battle?"
"Haha, the taoist friend is right. Iâll bring your son next time too."
"Come on, donât harm me. Iâm a married man, you know."
"You still come here despite being married? Iâm a single guy, you know."
Lin Jiang rolled his eyes, all these guys are jerks, they donât look like him, heâs a completely honest person.
About an hour later, Small Shadiao walked out with his pants on. He wasnât in the habit of chatting, he would just finish his business and leave. So when Small Shadiao heard someone calling him at the door, he suddenly turned around and saw Lin Jiang looking at him with a half-smile.
Small Shadiao immediately panicked, this was so embarrassing. He quickly tried to slip away.
"Why the rush, Xiao Cong?"
Lin Jiang caught up with Small Shadiao in a few steps. Since they claimed to be father and son, Small Shadiao also changed his name to Xiao Cong.
"My taoist friend, youâve mistaken me for someone else. Iâm not Xiao Cong."
"Mistaken identity?"
"Yes, mistaken identity."
Small Shadiao firmly stated that it was definitely a mistake, he would never admit it.
"Amazing"
Lin Jiang sighed. This shameless skill surpassed his own. It reminded him of the time when he secretly went to the internet cafe to surf the internet and got caught by his father. He used the same trick back then, but the consequences were quite tragic. He couldnât forget the beating he received for hundreds of years.
So Lin Jiang decided to give Small Shadiao an unforgettable memory. He quickly activated the secret technique of the Master-servant Contract. Small Shadiaoâs face instantly turned pale and he begged. Dad, I was wrong, I was wrong.
"No one is wrong?"
"No, itâs just me, your big son."
"Now that youâve admitted it, letâs go home."
Lin Jiang said lightly. There were people coming and going here, so he still had to give Small Shadiao some face. He would have to scold his son at home.
Back at their residence, Small Shadiaoâs face completely changed. He kept his head down and remained silent, waiting for the storm to come.
"Small Shadiao, to be honest, I have no objections if you go to Qinghuan Tower. After you transform, you are not much different from the human race. Letâs forget about this."
"Ah, really? Thank you, Dad!"
"Hmm, letâs forget about that. But thereâs another matter to resolve. You embezzled my money before, owing me hundreds of thousands of spirit stones. Pay back the debt."
"Dad, I donât have any money."
"If you donât have money, how could you go to Qinghuan Tower? Do you think youâre me, able to go without spending money? Be honest, hand over the money, or Iâll have to take action."
Lin Jiang shouted, knowing that Small Shadiao must have been hiding money. Sorry, but the cunning merchant character appeared, not leaving a single penny for him. Letâs see how heâll go to Qinghuan Tower in the future.
········
The Lin familyâs residence. An awkward situation unfolds here. Xiao Lingyue stands beside Lin Batian, appearing before Lin Die and the others. Lin Die and Lin Ying exchange angry glares, while the rest of the Lin familyâs children look at each other in confusion.
Xiao Lingyue, however, appears very generous at this moment. She takes out gifts from her storage bag and hands them out to everyone. Lin Batian presents a fifth-rank monster as a greeting gift, and itâs not something she earned herself.
"Pah, who wants it?"
Lin Ying tosses the gift aside and walks away directly.
"Donât mind her. Lin Ying has always been like this. Once she gets to know you, she will accept you."
Lin Batian awkwardly said. Lin Yingâs not giving face, but at least she didnât confront him on the spot. Her third sibling is better than her.
"I know. Being a stepmother isnât so easy."
Xiao Lingyue didnât care about these things, what she cared about was the man in front of her.
In the short time of less than three months together, Xiao Lingyue has already been captivated by Lin Batian. In her eyes, Lin Batian is a very dominant man, full of masculinity. Such a man is worth relying on.
As for the relationship between the Lin family and the four major families, she already knows about it, but she is not very worried because Lin Batian has told her that in a few years, he can wipe out the four major families and become the only ancient hidden family, inheriting the heritage of the four major families.
Xiao Lingyue believes this statement. Now, no matter what Lin Batian says, she believes him. After all, they are currently in the honeymoon phase, also known as the period of intense romance.
"Donât worry, with me here, I wonât let you suffer. Go and rest for a while."
"Okay, Lin Lang."
"Go ahead, Ling Yue."
"Yes."
Xiao Lingyue reluctantly left, and Lin Die could hear her getting goosebumps in waves.
Lin Batian waved his hand and everyone dispersed, leaving only Lin Die. Lin Die said. Father, can you give me an explanation now?
"What explanation do you want?"
"You promised Lin Ying and me before that you wouldnât bring any women home, even if you were seeing someone."
"Times have changed, you know. Do you want to know why I suddenly had a falling out with the Spiritual Moon Sect?"
"Iâm waiting for your explanation."
"Xiao Lingyue has a special body called Pure Yin Body, and she is also a virgin. The Du family arranged for Duanmu Ling to marry Xiao Lingyue as a backup plan. If Duanmu Ling cannot break through with the divine fruit, he can rely on Xiao Lingyueâs special body to breakthrough."
"UmâŠ"
Lin Die didnât know about this hidden truth, no wonder the alliance between the two sects seemed disadvantageous for the Shenmu Sect. If thatâs the case, itâs not a loss, but rather a big gain.
"So you should understand Fatherâs difficulties. I didnât fall in love with this woman, but with her special body."
"You succeeded."
"Mmm."
Lin Batian nodded. He already obtained Xiao Lingyueâs primordial yin energy. With Lin Batianâs abilities, there are few women he cannot conquer. Canât you see that Xiao Lingyue canât live without him now?
"Howâs your cultivation?"
"Iâm just half a step away from reaching the peak of Soul Changing. I am kind-hearted, so I didnât drain her energy, but instead practiced dual cultivation. If I had drained her energy, I would definitely be at the peak of Soul Changing now."
"Be kind"
Lin Die said that she saw Xiao Lingyue giving herself completely to Lin Batian, and it would be very wrong if she still used malicious methods.
"Haha, I am not that kind of bad person"
"How will Dad arrange Xiao Lingyue? It wonât be easy with Lao Shi"
"Lao Shi doesnât care about her. As for Xiao Lingyue, you should respect her and support her. But donât involve her in the Lin familyâs matters. Itâs not that we donât trust her, but Xiao Lingyue doesnât have much talent."
Lin Batian said that based on his understanding of Xiao Lingyue, she is clever and smart, but lacks vision. Even with her Soul Changing abilities, she wonât be able to control the Lin family. Currently, itâs only him, Lin Die, and Lin Ying who have power.
"Now you know what to do"
"Itâs good that you know. You and Xiao Lingyue should get familiar with each other quickly. I need to hurry back to Shenmu Sect. I have to get hold of the divine fruit, break through the Void Achieving stage, and learn the four secret techniques. I am too busy."
"You should also try to persuade Lin Ying"
"I canât persuade you, so forget it. You go and try to persuade him. Old Ten has always been closer to you since childhood, right?"
"IâŠ"
Lin Die didnât know what to say for a moment. Among the second generation of the Lin family, all of Lin Batianâ emotions are focused on Eldest Brother Lin Shan. The further down the list, the less close he gets. This is one of the reasons why Lin Ying reacts so strongly.
Lin Batian didnât notice the change in Lin Dieâs expression and just kept talking. He reminded Lin Die not to forget to support the remaining forces of the four major sects, and to continue to weaken the power of the four major families in Qing State, and so on.
