"Where is Ling Yun now, Fei'er?" Long Qiu asked, and she couldn't wait to meet Ling Yun to ask him something.
"He-"
"Why are you looking for me, Qiu?" Ling Yun asked as he walked out of his room, leaving the exhausted Zhao Yao and Tang Zhiyi to sleep.
Just as Ling Yun was sitting beside Su Fei, a loli suddenly jumped on his lap and continued to sniff his body. 'What the hell!? Is she a dog or what?'
*Sniff... Sniff...*
The loli was none other than Lei Lin, and after being certain, she finally asked in her crisp voice. "Don't you want to come out to meet me, Big Sister Luxuria?"
Su Fei and the other women raised their eyebrows; they knew who Lei Lin was referring to, but they didn't expect that Lei Lin knew about Ling Xi's presence.
'How did she find you, Ling Xi?'
[You don't need to be confused; she is also like me, but she is the Spirit of Lightning.] Ling Xi explained it with a chuckle.
Lei Lin pouted her mouth because Ling Xi still didn't want to show herself, and Golden Lightning had already appeared in her small palm.
However, Ling Xi still wouldn't come out. [Hey, Ling Yun, you can touch the golden lightning.]
Ling Yun raised his eyebrows upon hearing that. 'Are you sure that's okay?'
[It's okay; the golden lightning will have no effect on you, but it will be beneficial for you.]
"Big Sis, if you don't want to come out soon, then I'll electrocute this man with my lightning."
Ling Yun simply shook his head and grabbed Lei Lin's hand, which was enveloped in golden lightning. Just as Ling Xi had said, it had no effect on him, and instead it was absorbed by his body.
[Congratulations! Your Lightning Element has reached Middle Rank.]
Ling Yun was stunned to hear the notification from his system; he didn't expect that his lightning element would be upgraded, even though he only absorbed a little bit of Lei Lin's golden lightning.
Lei Lin's jaw dropped; she stared at Ling Yun dumbfoundedly, and her eyes kept blinking over and over again.
Su Xuan, Long Qiu, and Huo Ye were also shocked to see that. They knew very well that Lie Lin's golden lightning was extremely powerful, but Ling Yun was completely unharmed when he touched it, and he even absorbed it.
"Well, thank you, my lightning element has increased quite a bit." Ling Yun spoke as he gently pinched Lei Lin's cheeks.
*Smack*
Ling Xi finally stepped out of Ling Yun's body, and she directly smacked Lei Lin's head. "How long will you be dumbfounded, Lei?"
"Ouch!" Lei Lin rubbed her head that had just been smacked by Ling Xi; she pouted at her and pointed at Ling Yun, asking. "Where did you find a monster like him, Big Sis?"
Su Xuan and the two women were shocked by Ling Xi's sudden appearance, let alone that they couldn't feel her presence or cultivation, and they thought the same thing in their hearts. 'This little girl is too powerful!'
Ling Yun was amused by her question; it was the first time he had been called a monster by a little girl, even though she wasn't a little girl at all, but an old loli like Ling Xi.
"I ran into him when he was about to die about a month ago, so I saved his life, and I've been living with him ever since." Ling Xi explained only the general stuff, then she looked at the other three people. "How did you get to this realm? And why are you with them?"
Lei Lin replied with a chuckle. "I was bored in that place, so I came here. Since then, I've lived in the Cultivator Realm with the Lei Clan, and I frequently play with them."
Ling Xi couldn't help but shake her head; she knew that Lei Lin was too mischievous, and she always troubled a lot of people. "If your big brother finds you, he will definitely lock you up in the Lightning Tower again later."
Lei Lin stiffened and shuddered after hearing Ling Xi's words, and she whined at her. "Please, don't tell him about me, Big Sis! I'm really bored in that place!"
Su Xuan and the others were dumbfounded by Lei Lin's behavior, and it was the first time they had seen Lei Lin fear someone.
"Cough! So, why are you looking for me, Qiu?" Ling Yun changed the subject so that Lei Lin would not be tense anymore as he gently patted her head.
However, Su Xuan asked him first. "How did you get Fei'er to cultivate, Ling Yun?"
"And who are you?" Ling Yun asked back innocently, causing Su Xuan to freeze at his question.
"Haha!" Su Fei laughed out loud and introduced her father to him. "Yun'er, he is my father, Su Xuan."
Yi Mingxia and the others laughed in amusement at Ling Yun's reaction.
Ling Yun smiled wryly and scratched his head awkwardly. "I'm sorry, Uncle Su. I didn't know that you were Fei'er's father. And I'm sorry, I can't answer your question; I myself still don't know how I can make him cultivate."
Su Xuan just nodded; he himself couldn't sense the oddity in Ling Yun because Ling Xi kept covering things up.
"Hey, Ling Yun! If I ask a question, you can definitely answer it, right?" Long Qiu finally spoke.
Ling Yun raised his eyebrows. "Oh? What is it you want to ask me, Qiu?"
"How can all of them look so young?" Long Qiu asked as she pointed at Yi Mingxia and the others, and Huo Ye was also curious to know the answer, because no woman could resist the temptation to be young again.
"Oh, you should ask Ruxue; she will soon sell the beauty-returning pill in the cultivator realm, and the pill made them young again." Ling Yun had no intention of telling her that he was the one who gave them the beauty-returning pill, or else female cultivators would flock to him, so he chose to throw it at Feng Ruxue.
Su Fei smiled at Ling Yun's answer; she also knew that she didn't want others to know her secret, so she added. "That's true; there are only a few pills left, and mom will be selling the rest of the pills soon. So if you are interested in the pills, then you guys should go back to the cultivator realm to ask him."
Long Qiu and Huo Ye glanced at each other, and they nodded to each other, then they said goodbye to Ling Yun and the others.
However, before they left, Ling Yun asked Huo Ye. "What's your relationship with Huo Lan?"
"Hmm?" Huo Ye was surprised to hear his question, then she answered him. "Huo Lan is my big sister."
"Oh?" Ling Yun's eyes turned sharp after he heard that, and he glared fiercely at Huo Ye, making her shudder. "Then who is Huo Yin?"
Huo Ye looked shocked after Ling Yun mentioned the name. "How did you know about her? As I recall, she was one of my father's special forces, but I don't know much about those people either, because I never meddled with them."
"She really doesn't know much about her father's special forces, Ling Yun." Huo Ye, Long Qiu, and Su Xuan were taken aback by Ling Xi's words, and only Lei Lin was not astonished by that.
"I see." Ling Yun nodded in understanding.
"How did you know about Huo Lan and Huo Yin?" Huo Ye curiously asked.
Ling Yun shook his head at her. "I don't know Huo Lan, but she sent Huo Yin to kill me a few days ago."
"What!?" Yi Mingxia and the others exclaimed in shock upon hearing that.
Ling Yun explained everything to them directly. "Relax, Mom. I didn't get to fight Huo Yin because someone had already captured and handed her to me, and I killed her immediately after I interrogated her; that's why I know about Huo Lan."
"Yun'er, I remember that your uncle's wife's name is Huo Lan."
Ling Yun nodded to Ling Yin. "She is indeed Ling Jie's wife."
"Huh!?" Huo Ye and the others were shocked to hear that, and she looked at Ling Yun in confusion. "Are you a member of the Ling Clan?"
"His father is Ling Xiao." Su Fei's answer made them even more shocked, especially since they knew that the Ling Clan didn't have a male successor, but suddenly they now had one.
"Heh." Ling Yun snorted softly. "Although Ling Xiao is my father, I am not related to him in any way, nor do I care about the Ling Clan. However, since Huo Lan has already attempted to kill me, I will undoubtedly seek vengeance against her in the future."
Hearing that, Huo Ye's expression became ugly, and Long Qiu immediately spoke to her through voice transmission. 'Hey, you better warn Huo Lan; you already know that little girl is very strong, and I'm sure Ling Yun can kill her easily with her help.'
'Yes.' Huo Ye replied with a sigh in her heart, but Ling Xi did not say anything to Ling Yun, even though she knew their conversation.
After that, Long Qiu, Huo Ye, and Su Xuan immediately left Su Fei's house.
Lei Lin, the loli, stayed behind and spoke to Ling Yun. "Please give me one beauty-returning pill, Ling Yun. I know that you lied to them, and Ruxue gets the pills from you."
