"Oh my heavens! I was just meditating here for a short while, but I clearly felt the Nine Wood True Qi in my body increase significantly."

Xiaobei was really excited at this moment...

Because in this short time, he truly felt that strong change...

Previously, after Xiaobei broke through the bottleneck, reaching another level of strength, all the Nine Wood True Qi in his body had liquefied.

This liquefaction increased Xiaobei's strength immensely.

However, in the subsequent time, Xiaobei also found that the difficulty of cultivation increased significantly...

Previously, to enhance his strength, he sat in meditation overnight in the octagonal gazebo of Xiaohe Village.

Even so, there was no significant increase in the Nine Wood True Qi.

Xiaobei previously speculated that this situation might be due to the insufficient concentration of spiritual energy in Xiaohe Village...

Now, Xiaobei was completely certain of this speculation.

Because here, with abundant spiritual energy as support, Xiaobei clearly perceived a rapid increase in strength.

Sensing Xiaobei's excitement and exhilaration, she squinted her eyes and curiously asked, "Xiaobei, what's up with you?"

Hearing the concern in Ling'er's words, Xiaobei waved his hand and explained, "It's nothing, sister, let's go!"

With those words, Xiaobei took the lead in guiding the way.

At this moment, Xiaobei decided to stay a few more days with Ling'er's family.

In that way, he could madly increase his strength in a short time...

After walking several hundred meters, Xiaobei stopped in surprise.

The reason was that Xiaobei felt that Ling'er, who had been following him, was getting farther and farther away.

Squinting his eyes, Xiaobei turned his head to look at her, only to find that she was already drenched in sweat some distance behind...

"It seems that after losing the Ice Marrow Body, sister has really become just an ordinary person!"

With this thought, Xiaobei returned to her side without hesitation and very quickly.

At this moment, Xiaobei heard her slightly hurried breathing.

Just as he was about to say something, he heard her speak first.

"Xiaobei, why are you stopping? Hurry up and go, I can keep up."

Hearing such a somewhat stubborn response, Xiaobei gently shook his head...

Soon, he lightly teased, "You can still keep up? Sister, I think the distance is getting farther, isn't it! Alright, there's no rush for us, let's take a break first!"

"Well... okay then."

Upon hearing Xiaobei's suggestion, Ling'er wanted to be stubborn a bit more, but in the end, she gave up.

Because she knew that if she continued like this, she might really faint.

"That's more like it!"

With a soft laugh, Xiaobei looked around, and soon, he found a relatively dry place...

After sitting down with her, Xiaobei clearly smelled that elegant fragrance on her body.

Murmuring a slight compliment, Xiaobei turned his head to look at her flawless face and softly said, "Sister, did you always live at home and never really left before?"

Upon hearing Xiaobei's curious inquiry, she directly explained without hesitation, "Yes! Before, I never left. Our Hidden Family seldom communicates with the outside world! Generally, we just let a few people out once or twice a month to buy some daily necessities."

"I see."

Xiaobei nodded gently...

Previously, Xiaobei had thought it would be like this...

Because since they are hidden, it's impossible for them to easily contact the outside world, otherwise, hiding would be a joke!

She glanced at Xiaobei and started reminiscing about her childhood...

"Yes, when I was little, I envied those who could go out; now, I don't need to be envious anymore because I also came out."

"Haha!"

Xiaobei laughed...

After this, Xiaobei chatted with her about various other situations regarding her family...

Xiaobei knew that knowing more about it could do him no harm at all...

...

Tens of miles away at the Lin Family, everyone was extremely tense...

Because earlier, the Family Head's condition began to deteriorate once again.

This downturn nearly put him into a coma...

Everyone knew he was truly near the end of his life...

No one cared about his life or death; the only thing everyone cared about was who he would choose to succeed him as the new Clan Leader...

"Young master, Family Head probably won't hold on much longer this time! Therefore, it won't be long before you become the new Family Head of the clan!"

In Lin Chong's room, the attendant looked at Lin Chong and spoke with extreme excitement...

Hearing such a somber statement, Lin Chong lightly nodded and said, "I understand that point! So I'm always prepared now!"

A thousand days of preparation were for this very moment, so now Lin Chong was really quite nervous.

However, Lin Chong also knew his status among the younger generation and thus believed he really had no rivals.

Thinking about the future, he laughed wildly...

"My dear sister, once I completely control the entire family, I will have a nice chat with you."

Regarding his sister Ling'er, Lin Chong still hoped to find her...

Because without completely removing her, Lin Chong genuinely didn't feel secure.

Upon hearing Lin Chong mention his sister Ling'er once again, the attendant quickly chimed in, "Young master, once you control the entire family, you can then use the family's resources, so finding her would be a trivial task."

"Yes! I understand that very well; alright, you go and keep a close eye out, and report any situation to me in detail!"

"Yes! Yes! Yes!"

Very excitedly agreeing, he quickly left!

When someone rises to power, even the chickens and dogs around him ascend!

He understood this principle very well, so he knew he had to cling tightly to Lin Chong now...

As long as he truly became the Family Head, then he could also rise with the tide.

...

"Sister Ling'er, your mood seems to have become tense all of a sudden!"

In the forest, Xiaobei was about to say something more when he suddenly spoke with surprise.

The reason for saying this was that at this moment, he saw Ling'er tightly frowning...

With her eyebrows slightly furrowed, Ling'er heard Xiaobei's question, took a deep breath, and said, "I... I don't know what it is, but anyway... anyway, it just feels like I'm in a very bad mood! It seems... it seems like something is about to happen."

While explaining to Xiaobei, Ling'er was clenching her fists tightly...

Women all have a sixth sense, and Ling'er was no exception...

She had been chatting with Xiaobei, but suddenly felt her heart being fiercely clenched...

As if...

As if something terrifying was really happening...

Xiaobei also knew that women's sixth sense is extremely accurate, so his expression became serious at this moment!

"Maybe something is happening with your family! Let's... let's hurry and check it out!"

"Alright!"

She quickly nodded and stood up again...

Suddenly standing up quickly made her feel a bit dizzy, and she almost fell over...

With sharp eyes and quick hands, Xiaobei noticed and quickly reached out to support her, "Sister, are you... are you alright! Your body hasn't recovered yet. Let's rest a bit more."

Hearing such a kind suggestion, Ling'er quickly shook her head, "No! No way! My intuition tells me that if I don't hurry back, I... I might regret it for the rest of my life."

"Then... then I understand, let me carry you."

"Carry me?"

After noticing her surprise, Xiaobei explained with a smile, "Yes! You really can't walk on your own now, so, I'll carry you; it'll be faster this way."

Knowing Xiaobei was speaking the truth, she still hesitated a bit...

"But... but these mountain paths are hard to walk, and if you... if you carry me, it'll be very troublesome. So, better not!"

Hearing such a worried reply, Xiaobei waved his hand and said, "Sister, don't worry about me, such a thing can't trouble me!"

After saying this, Xiaobei disdainfully glanced at the mountain path...

For others, this winding mountain path was difficult to walk, but for Xiaobei, it was really just like flat ground...

Hearing Xiaobei's direct assurance, she gently nodded.

"Alright... alright, I got it!"

Feeling her shyness, Xiaobei chuckled heartily and quickly crouched down in front of her...
