"Miss Ling'er!" Lin Jianxing chased after her.
Just as he was about to speak, Feiling arched an eyebrow and glanced at him. "Are you trying to poach me?"
Lin Jianxing was stunned. He hadnât expected those words to come out of Feiling's mouth and felt exposed and embarrassed.
"It's actually very simple. Promise me one thing and Iâll leave Lin Feng," Feiling said.
"What?" Lin Jianxing asked.
"Kill Lin Wuyi and give me her head." With that, she rushed out of the Zenith Way without so much as a second glance and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
"Lin Wuyi? The seventh branch mistress?" Lin Jianxing stood there, dumbfounded. Given the huge difference in their strength, thousands of years wouldnât be enough time for him to accomplish the task. The matter itself was also outrageous.
"Donât you get it? Sheâs teasing you," a faint voice said from within Lin Jianxingâs body. It might have come from his lifebound space or somewhere else.
"Yes... sheâs figured out that the elders want her and her sisters to leave Lin Feng. She also knows that itâs the seventh branch mistressâ idea." Lin Jianxing's expression turned cold.
"Maybe Dongshen Yue and the others figured it out," the voice added.
"That isnât whatâs important. Her reaction shows that sheâs on Lin Feng's side and finds the eldersâ strategy ridiculous,â Lin Jianxing said.
"Yes. Itâs funny to watch you lose at the hands of a little girl!" The voice burst out laughing and Lin Jianxing's expression grew darker. "Depressed? Do you regret it? This fish was once placed in front of you, at your mercy, yet you failed to notice it. Now you find her appealing, but she already detests you. You donât stand a chance with her. Donât you feel frustrated? Do you regret it now? Lin Jianxing, what would you do if you could turn back time? Would you kill Lin Feng and take his three talented girls for yourself?"
"Shut up!" Gritting his teeth, Lin Jianxing returned to the sixth level, his eyes gloomy.
"I must say, sheâs breathtaking when she cultivates with those wings. How blind were you to have only focused on your hatred for Lin Mu?"
"Shut up!!" The image was unforgettableâthe dreamy light, shining wings, and a radiant girl with her eyes closed, long hair floating in the water.â¦
"Little one, you understand now. Unobtainable women are always the most beautiful. Conquering them is the greatest feeling in the world."
......
Tianming rushed out of the fourth level and looked up to see a skull staff descending on his head.
"Shit!" There was no way to dodge the blow; he was hit on the head and saw stars. "Grandma, whyâd you hit me?" Tianming asked, dizzy.
"You certainly took your sweet time. My granddaughters-in-law have been waiting for you for a long time. Who else would I hit?" Dongshen Yue glared at him.
It was over. Her granddaughters-in-law were too important to Dongshen Yue. It had taken Tianming so long because he was trying to break through to the next level. But he couldnât say anything because he wasnât a stellaminor yet. For a man who was known as a twelfth-level solarian, Tianming couldnât claim to have any breakthroughs before he became a sovereign.
"Hmm, howâs your astralforce so much stronger after leaving the fourth level?" Dongshen Yue soon noticed it.
"I'm that much closer to the Stellaminoris stage! Iâm virtually a sovereign!" Tianming said.
"Virtually your pig head! Why don't you virtually take a step to heaven?" Dongshen Yue lifted Tianming, checking him from head to toe. "I've never seen any solarian with astralforce like yours. What's going on with you?" She suspiciously looked at her grandson. It didnât make sense!
"Um⦠this may have something to do with my lifebound beasts. Theyâve been deformed since I was young and developed abnormally. Iâve experienced many twists and turns along the way, which gave me a solid foundation despite my slow growth," Tianming said.
His words made Feiling, Xiaoxiao, and Weisheng Moran bend over with laughter. In his lifebound space, all six of his lifebound beasts cursed him. Unfortunately, none of them could get out.
"Fuck you⦠Little Li!" Yin Chen was so angry that it was stuck for a long time before finishing those four words.
Filled with doubt, Dongshen Yue examined Tianming for some time, but couldn't figure out the reason why so she could only knock him on the head once more and say, "Work harder. Xiaoxiao already reached Stellaminoris and Ling'er also broke through to the second level. Can you expect my granddaughters-in-law to protect you forever? Donât you feel the pressure? Everyoneâs trying to steal them away from you."
"Have they already started?" Tianming was furious. Just the other day, Yin Chen had hid in the distance and heard the conversation between Lin Wuyi and the others.
"Thereâs always male disciples who try to talk to us when weâre cultivating," Feiling said.
"Fuck... write down their names, this daddyâs gonna make them eunuchs!" Tianming angrily said.
âForget about it. You might as well give me a great-grandson.⦠Grandpa and Grandma will probably die first if we wait for you to crush the Lin Clan disciples." Dongshen Yue rolled her eyes.
"Old woman, youâll be the first to be slapped in the face when I make it." Tianming glared at her.
"You little bastard! Youâre trying to rebel!" Dongshen Yue shouted. However, she smiled soon after. She knew that her grandson was just fooling around so she would open up her heart and face the future with more positivity. "I'll strangle you to death, you little bastard!"
"Yo, if I'm a bastard, whatâs that make you?"
The girls were already speechless with laughter.
......
After meeting up in the Caeli Sea, Dongshen Yue, Tianming, and his three âwivesâ took their mini ship to the Prime Myriadsword Corporation because merit points and rewards could be exchanged there. The Prime Myriadsword Corporation had spread throughout the Infinitum Mundus, even appearing in heliacal-class worlds.
Among all the branches, the one on the shore of the Infinitum Sea definitely had the widest range of items and, just like money, merit points obtained by the Lin Clan disciples could be used there. The three young women had been awarded a total of eleven myriadstar manna, which could also be found among the items in the Prime Myriadsword Corporation.
"This branch has the largest number of manna. Any lifebound beast would be able to find the most suitable one for them!" As soon as they arrived, Lin Dan appeared as their guide.
"Wow!" Feiling's eyes lit up at once. Only then did Tianming recall that her favorite thing to do was shop! As long as it looked good, she would want it whether it was useful or not.
"Wow!" Ji Jiâs eyes began shining as well. It seemed this love of theirs had always been there.
