Behind the backyard gate.
"Master Linmu, she's on track to marrying Zhang Jia, the notorious playboy!"
A maid's face reddens with distress.
"Bang!"
Linmu kicks a senior maid right out of the gate.
He steps forward, leering like a villain, "Zhang Xia is on a killing spree of women! Does he care if Lin Ning'e is a virgin? Shit, that little scoundrel Lin Chen wanted me to reform his way more than once in public, leaving me red-faced, so today I'm going to get my revenge on his sister!"
The maid shrinks into a ball, shaking like a leaf.
"Crack."
The door swings open, Lin Ning'e, with her arms held high, steps out.
She's drop-dead gorgeous, but her face flickers with the blush of sickness.
In her grasp, she clings to a sharp porcelain shard.
Lin Ning'e had planned to off herself during the journey to Zhang's house, hoping for a final glimpse of her brother on her deathbed.
However, it seems she won't make it that far.
"Lin Ning'e, better to be eaten by me than by outsiders, agree?"
Linmu lifts his head, his face contorted with excitement, itching with anticipation.
Lin Ning'e lets loose a bitter laugh, knowing full well that even without any abilities, if Linmu discovered her plan, she wouldn't escape death easily.
'Chen, it's your old sister's fault that I can't take care of you anymore...'
'Just hope you manage to flee this hell hole alive, for the sake of your dear old sister's ghost!'
Lin Ning'e makes up her mind, grabs the porcelain shard and slashes at her throat.
"Boom!"
Linmu's reaction is as swift as lightning, casually flicks his fingers, sending a bolt of spiritual energy that knock Lin Ning'e flying backwards.
The porcelain she held in her hand was just crushed under the pressure of the spiritual energy.
"I haven't tried out your taste buds yet, and you want to die? You can't die!"
Linmu shows off a grin that would scare children, and sprints at her.
"Linmu!!!!"
At this point, the wall explodes.
An unruly figure barges in, as if on an alien invasion, charging towards Linmu with a tsunami of raw strength.
In a split second, Linmu's spine prickles, and his legs buckle.
The opponent's momentum is too fast to steer, Linmu can only bellow, summoning a round shield in front of him.
"Snap!"
Bang! The heavy diamond shield is instantly pulverized into shreds.
The resulting force propels Linmu, directly hurled out.
Bone-cracking whimpers filled the air as his body grazed perfectly aligned walls mercilessly, finally throwing in the towel.
In the wreckage, Lin Mu struggled mightily to stand up, but felt utterly worthless, spitting out a mouthful of blood, chillingly pale!
His pupils shrank with fury, that round shield, a Level 2 magical artifact!
Regrettably, it was smashed into smithereens right before his eyes like a paper airplane.
If not for that magical artifact half-heartedly shielded him from the impact, he might as well find himself on the other side of death's door.
"Lin Chen, is...it you!"
When Lin Mu spotted his nemesis's face, his heart stood still.
His eyes widened like a magpie's.
"The family is hunting for you like wild dogs and you dare to surface! What guts!"
Lin Mu struggled to rise from the ground, but due to his catastrophic injuries, he heaved out another mouthful of blood.
What really scared him shitless was that Lin Chen's mythical beast had been killed, why on earth has he still retained this much strength?
"Daring to mess with my sister, Lin Mu, you've gone too far!"
Lin Chen's face darkened, stepping forward faster than a cheetah and smacking him with a punch.
Fist was rapidly wrapped in tree bark, harder than steel, smashing onto Lin Mu's ribcage.
"Crack!"
Lin Mu's ribcage shattered, his heart was crushed into a bloody mess.
He toppled over, officially kicking the bucket.
A seasoned expert in the Earth Spirit realm on level 5, was caught flatfooted by Lin Chen and couldn't even summon his mythical beast in time!
"Little Chen, are you...you've regained your cultivation abilities?"
Lin Ningyue's pallid face erupted in joy.
She stumbled forward and threw herself into Lin Chen's arms.
Then, tears rolled down her cheeks like a waterfall, soaking Lin Chen's shirt.
"Sis, it's all my fault for not being able to protect you and make you unhappy."
Lin Chen patted Lin Ningyue's back gently, his voice unwavering, "From this moment on, I will not let anyone else bully you ever again!"
Lin Ningyue was smiling at first, but soon, her face changed, "Little Chen, do you realize that the family and outside factions are hunting you? Hurry up and escape Cloud City before they return! The further away would be better!"
"Sis, I'll take you along."
Lin Chen spoke gently.
Lin Ningyue was about to say something when she caught sight of a tiny tree seed sitting on Lin Chen's head.
That little tree seed was rolling its baby blues in her direction.
Suddenly they bumped heads, Lin Ningyue jumped out of her skin, "Little Chen, it's...it's..."
"Sis, this is my new mythical beast,"
Lin Chen nonchalantly plucked the tree seed from his head, chuckling, "I'll explain everything later. Let's get the hell outta here!"
"Alright."
Lin Ningyue was ecstatic for Lin Chen's recovery of his cultivation, the gloominess and disillusion that used to plague her were now long gone.
Lin Chen took a trip to the family ancestral hall, located his grandfather Lin Tianming's memorial tablet.
"Grandpa, if you stay here you'll simply get bullied more! I'm taking you with me!"
Lin Chen tucked the memorial tablet into a ring, then carried Lin Ningyue and bolted for the exit.
"Snap snap snap!"
A swarm of Lin Family youth swarmed around Lin Chen, blocking his path.
"Lin Chen, you can't run away!"
"You've not only humiliated the family, but even dared to kill Young Master Ming, today we absolutely will have to nab and interrogate him! "
These members of Lin's family, all from Lin Hongbin's faction.
Their faces are as gloomy as deep water and their murderous intentions are as thick as birch sauce.
"Little dust..."
Lin NingEr clenches her fists and her face is pale, "am I going to drag you down?"
"Hahaha, these rascals, can they stop me?"
Lin Chen laughs heartily, "sister, watch closely!"
When he's finished saying it, Lin Chen's figure suddenly explodes with rich spiritual energy, demonstrating Gracious Trees Body to the nth degree, a colossal vitality aura whirls around him.
The small sapling climbs onto Lin Chen's head again.
It transforms its hands into two vine whip, grins widely and says, "Let your tree brother help loosen your muscles!"
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Lin Chen washes outward, every step lands on the ground, it's boom after boom, causing the courtyard to convulse relentlessly.
"Hold him back!"
A group of Lin family disciples summon hallucinatory animals, but before they can react, Lin Chen's figure has already steamrolled past them.
"Bang!"
One of the disciples just blocks Lin Chen in his path, he is catapulted out in one fell swoop.
The body is still in midair, there are several crisp sounds, the bones are completely pulverised!
Lin Chen's like a rabid beast, who dares to get in my way gets shot!
"Stand!"
One youth rides a saber-tooth tiger and charges at Lin Chen.
The sapling's whip whips the air, a crisp sound, "Slap" slaps the youth ruggedly.
The youth screams loudly, and falls off the back of the sabre-tooth tiger.
That half a face, is covered in a bloody mess!
Lin Chen bolts out of the mansion in three or four strides, however, his steps suddenly halt.
In front of him, a towering silhouetted figure's eyes are bulging like tomatoes, his entire body exudes vicious murderous intention!
