Chapter 15 - He broke through the seals that suppressed him and is out for revenge. (1/2)
Lin Mu was carried away by Di Wu like a little chick.
Di Wu lead Lin Mu to an SUV, pulled open the back door, placed Lin Mu into the back seat, then sat in the back seat himself.
Sitting quietly in the backseat, Lin Mu stared at the man sitting next to him. He wasn’t moving, and also didn’t dare to move.
Beside Lin Mu, Di Wu took a cigarette out from a cigarette box. Just as he was getting ready to light it, he glanced at Lin Mu beside him and threw it away. He didn’t say anything else and closed his eyes and leaned against the seat to rest.

Lin Mu sat there frozen for a long time, and stared at the man who had closed his eyes as if he was sleeping. Reaching his hands behind his back, Lin Mu carefully tried to reach for the door handle.
Di Wu didn’t even open his eyes, yet he lazily said, “stay still.”
Lin Mu silently retracted his hand and tried to reach for his phone.
This time, Di Wu didn’t say anything. Lin Mu pulled out his phone and flipped through his contact list, but sadly, he found that there was no one in it that could be of help.
Not mentioning ordinary humans, the only monster in his contact list was inside that house, and also didn’t bring his phone. Also, Lin Mu didn’t think that Da Hei would be coming out anytime soon, and since there was a funeral in the afternoon, Da Hei would probably follow them all the way to the funeral parlor.1
Lin Mu sent a message to Da Hei, and felt that he could only resign himself to his fate.
— What did he say before?
There was definitely a reason why his mother chose to cover up the truth of his father’s existence until her death.
Wasn’t this the case?

Alright.” Lin Mu agreed.
“Then I’ll go out and find them tonight, okay?” The little Ginseng asked.
Lin Mu didn’t care much about the time, and only asked, “can you guarantee your safety?”
The little Ginseng loked at the dog who was crunching away at the chicken bone and said tentatively, “Milky could protect me?”
Yan Xuanjing raised his eyebrows, and didn’t really care as he continued to eat his chicken.
The little Ginseng suddenly smiled, “Milky can protect me! We’ll be back in three or four days at most!”
Lin Mu stood on the second floor and looked down that the Ginseng Baby who was holding a dog and wiggled his butt down to the front door and wave, then heard him say, “Lin Mu, remember to get up early tomorrow! Don’t be late for work!”
Lin Mu answered and watched as a dog and a ginseng walked away, drew the curtian close, sat on the bed, and picked up the picture frame he had placed on the beside table.
In the photo frame was a photo of him and his mother.
There was no other figure.
Lin Mu looked at this picture for a long time, and he didn’t see the figure he wanted to see in the picture.
Similarly, in any photo that had him and his mother, his father’s figure didn’t appear.
At the time of his birth, his father seemed to be no longer with his mother.
It might have been even earlier — otherwise he wouldn’t have let his mother be bullied so badly by his grandfather.
Lin Mu put down the photo frame in his hand, properly collected his curiosity that had been hooked by the photos, and got up to take a bath.
His mother really loved him.
And if his father was there with them, would definately love him too.
That’s good.
Lin Mu lay on the bed, looked at the ceiling, could not help but hide in his blanket and smile.
……
He had only just figured out what his own bloodline was, and was immediately recognised.
If he had known, he would have just listened to his mother, and not try to pursue his father’s identity.
If he didn’t investigate his father, he wouldn’t have found out that his father was the Relaxed Emperor, and if he didn’t know his father was the Relaxed Emperor, he wouldn’t have understood the abilities of his own bloodline, and if he didn’t understand his own lineage, his monstrous energy would not be as overflowing as it currently was.
If it wasn’t as overflowing as it was currently, he wouldn’t have been discovered.
On one side, Lin Mu held his phone and regretted everything. On the other, he wondered if he called the police and said that he had been kidnapped by a monster, whether it would be considered a false alarm.
Perhaps he could try it out, and if he was discovered, then maybe shouting for help could work?
Since desperate times called for desperate measures, Lin Mu opened his phone’s keypad. Just as he pressed the three numbers to call the police, his phone was taken away by the man who had his eyes closed and seemed to be resting.
Di Wu looked at the three numbers on Lin Mu’s phone and scoffed, “police?”
“……” Lin Mu looked at his own phone, then looked at Di Wu, and then remembered what the little Ginseng had said after he had been carried into the house by Milky, choked for a couple of seconds and asked, “are you going to eat me?”
Di Wu turned over and looked at Lin Mu in amazement, “how did Di Xiu teach you?”
Lin Mu heard his words and paused. Unconsciously, he turned to look at the monster sitting next to him, and only then did he realise that the bone-chilling feeling the other party had given him at first had disappeared without him knowing when.
Lin Mu hesitated for a moment, but still did not speak.
This monster sounded like he knew his father, but he also didn’t know what he to say.
What could he say?
He had never seen his father before, so there was nothing he could say, Lin Mu thought.
So Lin Mu kept his mouth shut.
Di Wu frowned upon seeing that Lin Mu wasn’t talking, “why aren’t you speaking?”
After he spoke, he paused then looked at Lin Mu and added, “I’m not going to eat you.”
Lin Mu let out a sigh of relief and opened his mouth had been shut for a long time, and under Di Wu’s gaze, asked, “you know my father?”
Di Wu nodded, “I do. Your father never mentioned me before?”
“……” Lin Mu started at Di Wu for a few seconds then shook his head, ”my father he…… I’ve never met my father before.”
Di Wu, who had been leaning lazily against the back of his chair, sat up straight at once, furrowing his brows, “what do you mean?”
“I’ve never met my father before.” Lin Mu repeated.
This name, Di Wu, sounded as if it was from the same family and village as Di Xiu. But Lin Mu knew that the names of monsters couldn’t be considered as such, because to be exact, the name Di Xiu, the Relaxed Emperor, was the name of his father’s species. But the tree that was his father was the only member of that species.
Di Wu’s brows furrowed even tighter together, “if you haven’t met your father before, where did you come from?”
“My mother gave birth to me.” Lin Mu felt that this question was extremely stupid, “I’ve never met my father since the day I was born.”
Di Wu looked at Lin Mu, then fell silent for a while. He took a cigarette out from his pocket, opened the window, lit the cigarette and took in a deep breath. Exhaling a white mist out of the window, he sighed, “he’s probably dead. With the way he was, if he didn’t die, he wouldn’t have not taken care of you.”
Lin Mu startled as he heard those words, and hundreds of thoughts climbed into his mind. It was as if there was a buzzing sound in his ear, tearing the chaotic pictures in his head to shreds, leaving behind nothing but a bitter and empty feeling.

That night, Lin Mu had a dream.
He dreamed of a carpet of flowers and grass in a valley. There was a big green tree rooted here, with a thick trunk, knotted roots that firmly grasped the land, the branches and leaves were luxurious, extending in five different directions, it was lush and covered the sky.
The crisp leaves were blown by the wind and let out a soft rustling sound, and revealed a few scattered yellow flowers. There were also a few clusters of light falling from the flowers that were blown away by the wind and out into the valley.
Outside the valley, the wolf and the sheep live in harmony, the tiger and the rabbit depend on each other, and peacefully and quietly squninted their eyes and took a nap.
There were many living creatures in the valley that kneeled down, listening to the sound of rustling that was brought out by the wind, were touched by the light clusters, and showed an expression of ease and contentment.
The entire valley was covered in such a gentle atmosphere, until the wind stopped, and the creatures outside these valleys gradually returning to their cycle of fighting again.
For the moment, he didn’t know whether he should be happy or sad.
Lin Mu looked at Di Wu and asked, “are you my father’s friend?”
“I’m considered your father’s senior. When I gained enough spiritual energy to gain awareness, he was still a little sapling.” Di Wu smoked and lightly tsked, “according to the family hierarchy, you should be calling me uncle2.”
Lin Mu looked at the other party’s thirty-something face, and felt that he seriously could not call out ‘uncle’. 3
With that face, Lin Mu could at most call him older brother.
This monster had no need to trick him.
don’t understand certain terms, go to “the potato room (dot) com” to read the notes.
Because Di Wu was much stronger than him, so strong that he could simply steal what he wanted. Even if it was his own life, it would have been very easy for Di Wu to take it away.
Where was the need to trick him?
“I’d really like to know; why he would get together with a human.” Di Wu said in an ambiguous manner, “he should have been in the Great Wilderness, being taken care of by those great monsters, and enshrined in a proper manner. No creatures should have been be able to hurt him.”
Lin Mu thought about the information he had just found, and was a little more convinced. He shook his head, “…… I also don’t know.”
Di Wu eyebrows furrowed again, “how do you not know anything? What about your mother?”
“She’s not here anymore.” Lin Mu licked his lips, “but she didn’t tell me anything when she was alive.”
Di Wu paused, then realized that this situation was normal.
