WU DONG QIAN - KUN
Chapter 52: Family Problems

"Hhhh!"

Within the vast and empty forest, a figure moved like a fierce tiger. Two arms waved and the dark blue Yuan Power surged, the traces of Yin Energy within caused the leaves to dry on the ice-covered ground.

“Buk Buk Buk!”

The figure immediately stepped forward and a ferocious punch landed on the huge tree in front of him. A powerful force instantly jerked the huge tree. It was immediately uprooted and flew through the air, causing the sky to fill with soil, before finally falling to the ground with a loud boom.

“Lin Dong-ge is the best!”

Nearby, a young woman, dressed in light-colored clothes, a beautiful voice sounded when she saw the huge tree fall to the ground.

Lin Dong chuckled and pulled his fist. It has been a month and a half since the Hunting Competition. During this time, he had been training diligently and with the help of the Stone Amulet Elixir Pill, he had successfully advanced from the Earth Yuan Early Stage to the Middle Stage. Also, the Yuan Power in his Dan Tian became increasingly strong and condensed as it absorbed the Yin Energy from Qing Tan's body.

Lin Dong guessed that even though he was currently at the Worldly Yuan Middle Stage, due to the assimilation of Yin Energy, he would be able to fend off even an Earth Yuan Late Stage expert.

Furthermore, he had opened five channels for half a month he had learned "QingYuan Art". Thus his efficiency in absorbing Yuan Power was several times better than before.

Overall, this past half-month of training was rather bountiful.

“Huu!”

Lin Dong grabbed the towel from one side and wiped the sweat off his face. He then whistled towards the deep forest and soon, a loud tiger hiss sounded in reply. A few minutes later, a fiery red shadow flew out from the forest and appeared in front of Lin Dong.

Naturally, this was a Little Flame. Within half a month, his body once again grew to twice its size. When it stood up, it could even reach Lin Dong's waist. Inside his mouth, fangs also began to appear. Little Flame was currently gradually developing the extraordinary air that the Fire Python Tiger possessed.

A few traces of unknown beast feathers and blood could be seen in Little Flame's mouth. After all, Little Flame was a Demon Beast, so he innately had the instincts of a savage beast and needed to eat meat. Therefore, during this period of time, he would enter the dense forest by himself to prey on ferocious beasts.

With Little Flame's current abilities, even if he were to encounter a Tempered Body 8th Layer practitioner or beast, he would somehow be able to deal with it. This kind of progress was not only due to the fact that it was a Demon Beast, but rather due to Lin Dong's extremely luxurious eating habits.

“Little fire, you are really naughty. Always look very dirty at all times!” When Qing Tan saw Little Flame, she scolded him in a low voice before using a rough cloth to wipe away the traces of blood in the corner of Little Flame's mouth.

On one side, Lin Dong laughed. He caressed Little Flame's head with his hands as he stared at the already enormous body. True, Little Flame's growth rate was truly too fast. Even considering the help of the Ling Liquid Talisman Stone, it should not have matured so quickly.

“Maybe this is the reason why the Stone Amulet has a special reaction to Little Flame. Small Fire and other Python Fire Tiger are really a bit different.”.

"really. Lin Dong-ge, father has returned and is looking for you.” As Lin Dong muttered to himself, Qing Tan suddenly interjected.

"Oh? Dad back again?”

Hearing these words, Lin Dong was a little pleased. He nodded in acknowledgment as he whistled, bringing Little Flame with him as he ran.

Inside the room, Lin Dong looked at Lin Xiao whom he had not seen for half a month. The latter also saw him and a smile appeared on his father's face which was originally rather haggard. Lin Xiao gestured for Lin Dong to sit beside him and then appraised the latter for a moment before smiling: "How many channels have you opened in QingYuan Art?"

"Three." Lin Dong scratched his head as he replied. It seemed like Lin Xiao had learned from his past experience and directly asked about his son's progress. However, Lin Dong couldn't possibly tell his father that he had opened five channels, otherwise, it would be very difficult to explain them again.

Hearing Lin Dong's words, Lin Xiao laughed bitterly and sighed: "I really asked for it ..."

To think that he had spent three whole months unblocking four channels and now Lin Dong had opened three channels in just half a month. There is absolutely no point in comparing them at all.

“Hehehe.” Lin Dong chuckled while patting Little Flame on the head. The latter obediently lay on his stomach beside Lin Dong. He then looked towards his father and asked: “Dad, what have you been busy with recently? Several times I visited the manor, I discovered that Grandpa and the others did not look so good. ”

Hearing Lin Dong talk about the matter, the smiling expression on Lin Xiao's face weakened as he sighed before saying: “It was the cursed Lei Family. That dishonorable bastard.”

"Does that have anything to do with the Steel Wood Manor?" lin Dong's eyes flashed as he examined.

"Yes." Yeah." Lin Xiao nodded, a faint fury visible on his face as he replied: "That bastard, they originally agreed to hand it over within half a month. However, it had been a month and a half and they had not delivered it yet. Every time we send people to press them, they deliberately avoid us.”

“The bet that day was done in front of many people. The Lei family couldn't possibly dare to break their promise right? ” Lin Dong frowned. If they were to truly return to the agreement, the reputation of the Lei Family would be ruined. For them, it's no small matter.

“They never say that they are retreating, they just constantly drag him out.” Lin Xiao gritted his teeth and said. The Steel Wood produced by the Steel Wood Manor was a rather large business of the Lei Family. If their Lin Family managed to obtain it, then no doubt it would be a huge catch. But now, the fatty meat that was about to reach their mouths was being held back by the Lei Family. An action that left a bitter taste in anyone's mouth.

"Then what are grandfather and the others planning?" Lin Dong asked.

“Your grandfather has instructed me to bring people to the Steel Wood Manor tomorrow. If they are still unwilling to hand it over, then we can only take it by force. After all, it is we who have been harmed. ” Lin Xiao replied.

Hearing these words, Lin Dong's heart slightly shivered. It seemed like Grandfather and the others did not intend to endure it any further. This time, no matter whether they succeeded or not, they would declare war on the Lei Family. Thus, this operation was rather important to the Lin Family.

"Dad, let me come tomorrow." Lin Dong hesitated for a while before he suddenly asked.

"You are only a child .. involve yourself in this matter ..." Lin Xiao was startled, but before he could finish his words, he suddenly remembered that Lin Dong was already at the World Yuan Stage. Even in the entire Lin Family, this was considered a rather great strength. Therefore, he swallowed the words he wanted to say and hesitated.

“Dad, don't worry. I'll take care of myself. Furthermore, sooner or later, I have to experience these kinds of things. After all, I am part of the Lin Family, even you cannot ignore a Worldly Yuan Power practitioner. ” Lin Dong smiled as he reasoned.

Lin Xiao involuntarily let out a dry laugh as he stared at Lin Dong. After muttering to himself for a while, he finally nodded with a smile: “Alright then, you will follow me tomorrow but do not make any reckless moves. Instead, concentrate on taking care of yourself.”

"Yes! I will go make some preparations, tomorrow we will go together!”

When he saw Lin Xiao nod his head in agreement, Lin Dong immediately burst out in excitement before hurriedly standing up and running out of the room. Behind him, Little Flame also crawled up and nimbly followed.

Gazing at the backs of humans and tigers, Lin Xiao smiled lightly. Immediately after, he withdrew his gaze as his smile turned ice-cold: "Lei Family, after suppressing my Lin Family for so many years, it is finally time to retaliate!"
