Faced with Gan Yue's mocking sarcasm, Kou Chang's expression changed slightly, her anger flaring up. But then she glanced at Lei Tianyu beside her, and her fury instantly dissipated.
She took Lei Tianyu's hand, lifted her head, and exposed her graceful, long neck, like a proud celestial crane.
"Let me introduce you. This is Lei Tianyu, the heir to the Lei family and the future head of the Lei family, who has already proposed to me."
After saying that, she ignored the astonished and envious Gan Yue, turning her attention back to Lei Tianyu.
"Brother Tianyu, we still need to meet with your family's elders. Don't let certain unrelated individuals waste our time."
She pulled Lei Tianyu out of the room.
Gan Yue watched their departing figures, her jealousy growing even stronger.
The Lei family heir, future head of the Lei family!
It seemed that all the good fortune was monopolized by that b*tch Kou Chang.
"Meet the Lei family's elders? I'm curious to see if you really intend to join the Lei family," Gan Yue murmured to herself.
...
In a somewhat gloomy mood, Song Wen followed Ai Kun out of the venue.
Throughout the auction, he hadn't bid on anything, which left him with a sense of having wasted a trip.
On the other hand, Ai Kun had spent hundreds of spirit stones to acquire a decent talisman brush.
Just after exiting the venue, Song Wen saw Lei Tianyu and Kou Chang boarding a flying ship, preparing to leave.
At the tail of the ship, Azure Bull, who had swallowed the Thunder Pattern Stone, lay motionless on the deck, having entered the dormant phase of its advancement.
Song Wen suddenly recalled the unidentified four-hoofed beast carcasses in the altar cave.
He released a beetle familiar to follow them discreetly.
"Zhang Cheng, you go ahead; I won't join you," Ai Kun's voice suddenly reached his ears. Song Wen turned to see that the old man had headed towards the brothel.
Song Wen shook his head, thinking the old man would end up dead in the brothel sooner or later.
After a moment of hesitation on the ground, he turned and walked out of the bazaar. The beetle familiar had just reported that Lei Tianyu and his group were heading towards the altar cave.
Song Wen had a premonition that Lei Tianyu was planning something against Azure Bull, and perhaps there was a chance to improve his own poor lightning cultivation.
His Tunder Palm had been intermittently cultivated for several months, yet he could still only summon lightning the size of chopsticks, far from the fist-sized lightning ball recorded in the manual.
Lei Tianyu piloted the flying ship, chatting and laughing along the way. It took half an hour to reach the lakeside. Meanwhile, Song Wen had been lying in wait in the cave for a while.
Seeing the flying ship suddenly slow down and stop by the lakeside, Kou Chang, puzzled, asked.
"Brother Tianyu, why have we stopped here? Aren't we going to the Lei family to meet your uncle?"
"My uncle is right here."
At this time, it was already dusk, and the sky had darkened.
Kou Chang looked around, seeing only the surrounding darkness.
"How could your esteemed uncle, the head of the Lei family, be in such a desolate place?"
Kou Chang thought he was joking, but when she looked at Lei Tianyu, she noticed his smile seemed somewhat strange.
Coupled with their location in this pitch-black wilderness, Lei Tianyu's smile appeared eerie and unsettling.
A sense of unease slowly rose within Kou Chang.
She glanced at the tail of the ship where Azure Bull was in deep sleep, and her anxiety intensified.
She suddenly realized that she had always relied on her beauty, thinking she could manipulate Lei Tianyu as if he were a docile dog.
However, with Azure Bull, a powerful ally, gone, if Lei Tianyu harbored ill intentions, she would be no match for him.
She forced a smile and said, "Brother Tianyu, stop joking. We should leave here quickly."
Lei Tianyu's smile remained unchanged. "I'm not joking. My uncle, Lei Hong, is truly here."
As soon as he finished speaking, he turned and shouted loudly into the dark forest below.
"Uncle, come out quickly. Don't keep Fairy Kou waiting."
A figure emerged from the dense forest below, flying up on a sword and stopping beside the flying ship.
The newcomer had a square face and an upright demeanor, giving off a sense of grandeur and righteousness. He was Lei Hong, the current head of the Lei family.
Lei Hong ignored the celestial beauty Kou Chang and focused his attention on Azure Bull, who was sleeping at the tail of the ship, as if Azure Bull were the real beauty.
"Tsk tsk tsk... Tianyu, your methods with women are impressive. You've really managed to bring Azure Bull here and put it into a dormant state, saving us a lot of trouble."
After a year of scheming and sacrificing his own dignity to curry favor, the time for harvest had finally arrived.
Lei Tianyu's face beamed with uncontainable pride.
"Uncle, you're too kind. It's just a gold-digging b*tch."
Kou Chang's face suddenly turned pale, her fear overwhelming her, making it hard for her to breathe or speak clearly.
"What... what are you planning to do?"
"I am a direct disciple of the Beast Cultivation Sect. If you dare to plot anything, the Beast Cultivation Sect will not spare you."
Lei Tianyu's eyes were full of hot, aggressive intent as he appraised Kou Chang's impressive figure, a mocking smile on his face.
"I dare to act against you because I've already made preparations. By tonight, the soul aura I left in the family will dissipate on its own, and outsiders will only think I'm dead. Naturally, no one will suspect me."
"After a few years, I'll change my appearance and continue to be the Lei family's heir."
Kou Chang's face turned ashen.
Suddenly!
A terrifying pressure erupted from Lei Hong.
The pressure was so immense that Kou Chang, who was only at the Qi Refining stage, felt as though she was carrying a weight of ten thousand pounds. She couldn't withstand the force, stumbled, and fell to her knees on the deck.
Lei Tianyu, at the early stage of Foundation Establishment, was able to endure the pressure with some effort and asked, "Uncle, what's going on?"
Lei Hong's eyes were like lightning as he scanned the dark forest below and said, "Tianyu, your actions have been too reckless. You've actually been followed here without realizing it."
"What! Someone followed us? How is that possible?" Lei Tianyu exclaimed in shock.
Far away in the cave several miles away, Song Wen's heart tightened with disbelief: Could it be that Lei Hong discovered the beetle familiar hidden in the tree crevices under the flying ship?
Suddenly, Lei Hong made hand seals and shouted loudly.
"Grand Lightning!"
A bolt of lightning split the sky like a dazzling crack in the night.
"Crack!"
The lightning struck a dense forest three miles away.
It split the trees, tore the earth, and released an unstoppable, massive energy.
A figure was blown away by the violent wind generated by the lightning.
It was Gan Yue.
She had followed Lei Tianyu and Kou Chang to the lakeside.
When the lightning struck, she summoned a mid-level second-tier spirit beast, a flood dragon, sacrificing its life to save her own.
Using the powerful shockwave from the lightning, Gan Yue fled on her sword, quickly disappearing into the horizon.
"Trying to escape! It won't be that easy."
Lei Hong pursued on his sword.
He could not allow Gan Yue to escape alive; otherwise, the Lei family's secrets about consuming other's lightning essence might be exposed.
At that time, the Lei family would face complete destruction.
It wasn't that the Beast Cultivation Sect would act to destroy the Lei family; it was the desire to seize the altar for themselves, that would lead to the Lei family's downfall.
