C57 (1/2)

Lin Shen hesitated for a moment, but chose to do so. Closing her eyes, she gently opened her mouth.

”No, father, you have to open your mouth a bit more.” Lin Qi reminded.

Lin Shen hesitated for a moment and thought for a long time. Finally, she reluctantly opened her mouth wide.

With a wave of his hand, Lin Qi took out a Blood Qilin fruit from his soul hole and forcefully stuffed it into Lin Shen's mouth.

Then, before he could even react, his palm had propped up his chin, causing him to directly swallow the palm-sized Blood Qilin fruit into his stomach.

Lin Shen's body shook as he held his throat and retched. He wanted to vomit but was unable to do so.

”Little bastard, what did you give me to eat?” Lin Shen flew into a rage.

Lin Qi did not reply, but observed his every move. Soon, Lin Shen's skin was burning, red and hot, smoke rising from his seven orifices. His entire body seemed to be burning.

His hair was tied up, the veins on his arms and forehead were popping out, thick smoke was constantly coming out of his mouth and nose, and his face was slightly contorted, showing an expression of pain.

”You little bastard, are you trying to kill me?” Lin Shen was truly a little angry. In fact, it was really painful.

Lin Qi was stupefied, and his face was filled with astonishment. In fact, he didn't know what reaction the Blood Lin fruits would have if he swallowed them.

He had been too careless. He should have allowed his father to swallow this first. Wasn't this a scam?

However, he was able to discern that although the Blood Unicorn Fruit caused Lin Shen to feel pain, it wouldn't cause his life to be in danger.

As he thought of this, his heart relaxed. Seeing how his father was enraged, his legs softened, and he ran away gloomily.

When they were far away from the camp, they could still hear their father's roar. They were so shocked that a large number of the soldiers were at a loss, thinking that an assassin had barged in.

Lin Xing reminded him that the great general was currently training, so there was no need to disturb him.

Only then did everyone return to their posts with weird looks on their faces.

On his way back to his tent, he met an old friend, Jue.

If they collided head on, it would be impossible to dodge. Especially for Jue, the embarrassment on his face was obvious.

”Have you been doing well these past two years?”

The two of them stopped and looked at each other. Jue guiltily lowered his head and asked gently.

Lin Xing was unperturbed. He calmly replied, ”It's quite alright. What about you?”

Jue raised his head, and a complicated look flashed across his eyes as he said, ”I'm doing quite well too.”

It had been two years, but when they met for the first time, they were speechless. When he chose to follow Liu Fengyu, he was destined to break off all ties with Lin Xing.

Lin Qi was clear about this, and a gap had already formed in his heart. What happened in the past was like a wind blowing into the distance, and in the future, they would be the same type of people.

”Since it's all right, then I will go back. It's not good to be seen by Brother Liu.” Jue sighed, also feeling some regret. He sympathized very much with what Lin Ming had experienced.

He brushed past him.

”Hold on.”

She had only taken two steps when she was stopped by Lin Xing. She turned around with her hands clasped together, twisting and turning her fingers. For some reason, she felt uncomfortable in front of Lin Qi. Perhaps it was due to guilt.

”I heard that I was able to return safely this time. You spoke up for my father, which is why I have a chance to mobilize eight hundred thousand soldiers. Thank you.”
