Zhongzhou, Shenmu City

The group didn’t stay in Shenmu City for long. If it wasn’t 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 couldn’t 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 wasn’t in vain. Let’s 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 didn’t 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 couldn’t 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. What’s the big deal for a father and son to fight together in battle?"

"Haha, the taoist friend is right. I’ll bring your son next time too."

"Come on, don’t harm me. I’m a married man, you know."

"You still come here despite being married? I’m a single guy, you know."

Lin Jiang rolled his eyes, all these guys are jerks, they don’t look like him, he’s a completely honest person.

About an hour later, Small Shadiao walked out with his pants on. He wasn’t 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, you’ve mistaken me for someone else. I’m 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 couldn’t 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 Shadiao’s face instantly turned pale and he begged. Dad, I was wrong, I was wrong.

"No one is wrong?"

"No, it’s just me, your big son."

"Now that you’ve admitted it, let’s 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 Shadiao’s 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. Let’s forget about this."

"Ah, really? Thank you, Dad!"

"Hmm, let’s forget about that. But there’s another matter to resolve. You embezzled my money before, owing me hundreds of thousands of spirit stones. Pay back the debt."

"Dad, I don’t have any money."

"If you don’t have money, how could you go to Qinghuan Tower? Do you think you’re me, able to go without spending money? Be honest, hand over the money, or I’ll 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. Let’s see how he’ll go to Qinghuan Tower in the future.

········

The Lin family’s 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 family’s 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 it’s not something she earned herself.

"Pah, who wants it?"

Lin Ying tosses the gift aside and walks away directly.

"Don’t mind her. Lin Ying has always been like this. Once she gets to know you, she will accept you."

Lin Batian awkwardly said. Lin Ying’s not giving face, but at least she didn’t confront him on the spot. Her third sibling is better than her.

"I know. Being a stepmother isn’t so easy."

Xiao Lingyue didn’t 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.

"Don’t worry, with me here, I won’t 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 wouldn’t 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?"

"I’m 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 Lingyue’s special body to breakthrough."

"Um…"

Lin Die didn’t know about this hidden truth, no wonder the alliance between the two sects seemed disadvantageous for the Shenmu Sect. If that’s the case, it’s not a loss, but rather a big gain.

"So you should understand Father’s difficulties. I didn’t fall in love with this woman, but with her special body."

"You succeeded."

"Mmm."

Lin Batian nodded. He already obtained Xiao Lingyue’s primordial yin energy. With Lin Batian’s abilities, there are few women he cannot conquer. Can’t you see that Xiao Lingyue can’t live without him now?

"How’s your cultivation?"

"I’m just half a step away from reaching the peak of Soul Changing. I am kind-hearted, so I didn’t 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 won’t be easy with Lao Shi"

"Lao Shi doesn’t care about her. As for Xiao Lingyue, you should respect her and support her. But don’t involve her in the Lin family’s matters. It’s not that we don’t trust her, but Xiao Lingyue doesn’t 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 won’t be able to control the Lin family. Currently, it’s only him, Lin Die, and Lin Ying who have power.

"Now you know what to do"

"It’s 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 can’t persuade you, so forget it. You go and try to persuade him. Old Ten has always been closer to you since childhood, right?"

"I…"

Lin Die didn’t know what to say for a moment. Among the second generation of the Lin family, all of Lin Batian’ 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 didn’t notice the change in Lin Die’s 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.
