Ch131 – Tiger Roar Heard Through the Forest

Ling Chigu’s four limbs seemed to be as stiff as rocks as he used both hands and feet to climb out of the tub in an extremely uncoordinated manner. During which, he even slipped and lost his balance once, only for Lin Xuanzhi to effortlessly steady him. Ling Chigu sluggishly raised his head and met Lin Xuanzhi’s eyes with his lifeless ones.

Lin Xuanzhi’s pupils were very light, and it was impossible to tell how deep they were.

Yan Tianhen blinked a few times, looked at the well-proportioned, muscular and st.u.r.dy body of Ling Chigu, and enviously said, “I wonder when I’ll be able to have such an amazing figure myself”.

Lin Xuanzhi swept him over with a glance, “It’s time for him to put on some clothes.”

Yet Yan Tianhen continued looking Ling Chigu over with stars in his eyes, even licking his lips, “He has a really, really good figure ah.”

Lin Xuanzhi, “…”

This is getting a bit unbearable now.

Lin Xuanzhi thought for a bit, “To tell the truth, your brother has a rather good figure too.”

Yan Tianhen was shocked out of his thoughts. When he raised his head, he saw Lin Xuanzhi taking off his own clothes to put on Ling Chigu.

Yan Tianhen, “…”

To be fair, he and Lin Xuanzhi had spent a good amount of time together, even sleeping in the same bed. It’s just that, only when he’s not sleeping properly, he’d sometimes accidentally touch Lin Xuanzhi’s body, that’s it. He has never had the chance to see Lin Xuanzhi’s naked body before.

It’s hard to conceive, according to Lin Xuanzhi’s words, does he intend to let him…

Yan Tianhen suddenly felt embarra.s.sed to the tips of his ears. Compared to looking at Ling Chigu’s body, he felt a hundred times, a thousand times, ten thousand times more embarra.s.sed. But Yan Tianhen had no idea where this kind of strange feeling came from.

Forget it, never mind, this kind of thing shouldn’t be thought about.

Without Yan Tianhen moving a finger, Lin Xuanzhi finished dressing Ling Chugu

Throughout the process, Ling Chigu continued looking dazed and spiritless.

Yan Tianhen looked at Ling Chigu, sighed, and said, “This person is also very pitiable”

Lin Xuanzhi squinted his eyes, “I’m afraid that we’re going to have to use a certain level of disguise in regards to his ident.i.ty, to make sure no one else knows his origins.”

Especially regarding such a place as the Royal Heavenly Capital, even in the Nine Lands, it was a restricted place that couldn’t be talked about.

Yan Tianhen nodded his head, “Dage doesn’t need to worry about that, don’t just look at how he seems now – you can still tell what his original appearance is, but as time goes on his face, skin color, and even bone structure will change; he’ll no longer look like a living person. Only then will he be considered a true corpse general.”

Ling Chigu stood there with his eyes downcast, as if mimicking a piece of wood. Yet surprisingly, when Yan Tianhen gave him some of the most basic and simple commands, he was able to accomplish them.

Before leaving Lin house for the Hundred Families Gathering, there were still a lot of magical tools that Lin Xuanzhi wanted to refine. It’s just that if someone from the outside saw this, they would surely think that Lin Xuanzhi had gone crazy.

Cultivating in a smooth and steady manner, the disciples who had been chosen were taking advantage of every minute and second of these two months till the gathering to cultivate and advance their level, out of fear that they will lag behind and thus lose the opportunity to go. With everyone rus.h.i.+ng to cultivate, the Lin family seemed to have a happy and cooperative spirit.

Yan Tianhen continued to be unable to produce medicinal liquid. He’d try and try again, only to fail time and time again. Even Lin Xuanzhi was unable to wrap his head around the reason for failing.

But even so, Lin Xuanzhi didn’t let Yan Tianhen slack off on refining medicine. After all, even if he never succeeds, the hand seals and magical seals are all real. In a pinch, they would be able to hide his demonic cultivation from outsiders.

Lin Xuanzhi went out a few times in this period. Half the time was to do business with the Heaven and Earth Winery’s boss Fu – sending him some specially refined wine cups. The other half of the time he spent buying materials he would need to refine the furnace. After buying enough forging stones, he would return to his room to continue cultivating.

He auctioned off some magic tools and did steady business selling wine cups, which let Lin Xuanzhi make a small profit. Even though refining magic tools used up a large amount of materials, those finished goods could all be sold for money, and that was why Lin Xuanzhi’s investment in tool making has always been very heavy handed.

Two months flew by.

One evening, Lin Xuanzhi was refining magic tools in his room when someone suddenly knocked on the door, making a large noise.

Lin Xuanzhi forcefully retrieved his hand and opened the door with a wave of his sleeve,only to see Yan Tianhen running in with a face full of anxiety, worry, and horror.

Lin Xuanzhi’s expression changed very slightly. He disregarded the pieces of trash that the magic tool he was refining had turned into. He hurriedly stood up, “Ah Hen, what happened?”

“Dage!” Within Yan Tianhen’s voice was the sense that he was holding back tears, “I just received a cry for help from Ah Bai, he says that Hu Po has been struck down a cliff, and now they can’t find him!”

Lin Xuanzhi’s eyes turned cold and he took a hold of Yan Tianhen’s palm. “Don’t panic, we’ll go right now and figure out what’s going on.”

Ah Bai and Hu Po have indeed been spoiled rotten by them, and Lin Xuanzhi knew in his heart that the only way to awaken the spirit beast inheritance was for the two of them to experience blood. It’s just that he had never thought that when it came to the education of the young, the extremely experienced Golden Leopard would actually place Hu Po under the knife!

Lin Xuanzhi squinted his eyes, kneaded the forging stone in his hand a few times, and leaped straight to the Beast Academy.

“Aoooo–” In the distance, Lin Xuanzhi and Yan Tianhen could hear heartrending and mournful tiger cries.

A strong and chaotic Qi rushed forward to greet them. It appeared as if the entire Demonic Beast Inst.i.tute was experiencing some kind of catastrophe.

Lin Xuanzhi and Yan Tianhen’s eyes met, “Ah Hen, you should stay here and wait for me”

Yan Tianhen looked slightly perturbed, “No, we should go together. Ah Bai is my contract beast after all, I can’t let anything happen to him”

Lin Xuanzhi was afraid that the beasts would lose control and end up hurting Yan Tianhen, but seeing Yan Tianhen’s current frame of mind, it didn’t seem like it would be possible for him to obediently stay here and wait for the results.

Lin Xuanzhi slowly said, “Ah Hen, no matter what happens, you cannot get emotional and act recklessly.”

Yan Tianhen’s eyes filled with a s.h.i.+ny liquid. He sniffled, “Dage, are you saying that because you think that Hu Po might have already fallen to his death?”

“…” Lin Xuanzhi was silent before saying, “The possibility of that isn’t large, after all, Hu Po is still a spirit beast. A normal cliffside is not able to cause him to fall to his death”
