Chapter 976

Yo, ladies, you're all here.

One day later, inside the garden behind the newly built castle, Lin Feng flew swiftly from the distant horizon, a faint laugh echoing slowly across the sky.

As his words fell, Lin Feng's figure descended from the sky and landed in the grass.

Husband!

Seeing the arrival, Yun Yun, who had been playing with little Zhao Er, immediately showed a gentle smile on her stunningly beautiful face.

As for the three beauties of the Dan Tower and Feng Er and the other women sitting around the wooden table on the nearby grass, seeing Lin Feng return, their varied charming faces all simultaneously broke into smiles.

With the ladies' smiles, the entire rear garden instantly gained a touch of color.

Father.

The most anxious little Zhao Er directly tossed Yun Yun aside and ran toward her father.

Now, under the fierce bombardment of various elixirs, her language ability has greatly increased.

Even her strength has risen from three-star Dou Zong to five-star Dou Zong.

Of course, this is the result of the ladies forcing her to suppress herself desperately.

Otherwise, Lin Zhao's strength would probably be at least eight-star Dou Zong or higher.

"Good Zhao Er, lately while Mother is in seclusion, have you been listening to the aunts?"

Seeing his daughter run over, Lin Feng immediately smiled, scooped her up, then freed a hand to gently pinch her soft cheeks, saying with a smile.

While speaking, his gaze swept the area and he noticed that Qing Lin was not present.

He must have previously subdued several eighth-rank serpentine magic beasts and is now in seclusion absorbing their battle qi.

Upon hearing her father's question, little Zhao Er quickly nodded and said, "Yes, I've always listened to the aunts; I've been good."

While speaking, little Zhao Er also stretched out her hand, gesturing to show she was obedient and well-behaved.

"Haha, still Daddy's good girl who listens."

Hearing the little one's answer, Lin Feng quickly came to his senses and laughed while rubbing her little face.

While speaking, he also held Lin Zhao and came to the ladies' side.

However, in the gap of his speech, the little Cai hidden within Lin Zhao's body also seemed to sense his return.

Only see, the colorful serpent pattern on little Zhao Er's brow suddenly flashed a faint light.

Immediately after, a thin, colorful stream of light shot out, transforming into a seven-colored little snake that suddenly perched on Lin Feng's shoulder.

"Ying ying ying~"

Seeing its master appear, little Cai instantly excitedly kept chirping "ying ying ying" and rubbed its little head wildly against Lin Feng's face.

"Haha, little Cai, be good, don't make a fuss."

His face feeling a bit itchy from the little creature's rubbing, Lin Feng smiled and patted its little head, stopping Cai from continuing to rub him.

However, little Zhao Er, nestled in Lin Feng's arms, seeing this scene, instantly puffed up her cute cheeks in anger.

"Hmph, you little snake, I don't like you anymore—get far away!"

Seeing little Cai so close to her father, little Zhao Er immediately reached out to swat at it, trying to drive away the seven-colored Heaven-Swallowing Python she once liked but now despises.

"Zi zi~"

But little Cai, facing the provocation, did not retreat at all; the smile on its serpentine face instantly turned into a flash of human-like indignation.

This appearance seemed to be blaming the former for disturbing its reunion with its master.

And at the instant their gazes collided in midair, Lin Feng and the other ladies could all clearly see.

Between their gazes, a sudden strong spark erupted!

"Alright, Zhao Er, be good, auntie will hold you."

Seeing this person and snake, who might erupt into a big fight at any moment, Chen Er quickly rose and stepped forward, taking little Zhao Er from Lin Feng's arms.

Then she comforted: "Be good, after a while Aunt Chen Er will take you to study alchemy; once Zhao Er becomes an alchemy master, you'll be able to help your father. Then he will surely keep you by his side, favoring you alone."

And what she said was not wrong—it is indeed studying alchemy.

The reason is that on the way to Zhongzhou, Lin Feng tested little Zhao Er's attributes and discovered that this little one also shares his fire-wood affinity, capable of studying alchemy.

However, because Lin Feng at the time really had no time to manage this, he let little Zhao Er play for a few more months.

But with the emergence of the Three Beauties of the Dan Tower from seclusion, this little one's happy days also came to an end.

After that, the three women took turns teaching her alchemy: medicinal theory, fire control, and pill refining—the three major parts of alchemy, each woman teaching one.

However, the three women are not devils; they said that as long as little Zhao Er studies with them for two hours a day, that's enough.

Outside of class time, she can play however she likes.

As for Yun Yun, she also quickly expressed the same: little Zhao Er only needs to study battle qi and battle techniques with her for two hours a day.

Otherwise, she can likewise play however she likes.

And Feng Er, not to be outdone, stepped forward and said she would occupy only one hour of little Zhao Er's day.

One hour for tempering the body, one hour soaking in the medicinal bath personally prepared by the Three Beauties of the Dan Tower from the recipes Lin Feng obtained from the Medicine Emperor.

As for the rest of the time, little Zhao Er can freely play to her heart's content.

Of course, the idle Qing Lin, seeing little Zhao Er so 'idle',

couldn't help but step forward, saying that little Zhao Er only needs to study each day the heavenly-rank soul-cultivation technique taught by the young master, as well as his own illusion technique.

Each day, the time required is not much—half as long as the Dan Tower Three Beauties' course, just one hour.

However, it's just that the ladies, in a moment of carelessness, all forgot about the others' existence.

This resulted in poor little Zhao Er having to study several extra hours of courses each day.

Therefore, each time after she finishes studying those courses above, plus some other time-consuming hour, little Zhao Er miserably discovered.

That after class, the time left until midnight the next day is only one hour.

But she still has several courses she hasn't even begun to review.

And this study intensity, even if Lin Feng, who once worked as a porter in Wutan City, saw it, he would have to exclaim how truly happy he is, needing only to work four hours a day.

Every weekend, he still has two days off, you know.

Chen Er Auntie, really?

But upon hearing that studying alchemy would make her father favor her alone, Lin Zhao's round, pitch-black big eyes instantly stared wide, unblinking, as she gazed at Dan Chen.

Even that terrifying study intensity, she forgot it completely in a moment.

And Dan Chen, who needed to coax this little guy away, naturally couldn't tell the truth; immediately, under Lin Feng's astonished gaze, she nodded without blushing or her heart racing, saying, "Of course it's true, Chen Er Auntie never lies to you."

Chen Er, you've been following Ying Er to learn things before, how come you're lying now more naturally than I am?

Seeing that person's expression, Lin Feng's heart instantly felt a hint of unease.

His Chen Er wife seems to have learned bad habits from his Ying Er wife.

But little Zhao Er didn't know that, as soon as Dan Chen finished speaking, she immediately patted her chest and said, "From now on I'll study every day with all the aunties, work hard and get stronger!"

Hmph~

After saying that, little Zhao Er immediately gave a cold snort to little Cai, then flopped onto the large, firm, soft mound in front of Dan Chen, no longer bothering with that hateful little snake.

But soon, unwilling, she clenched her fist and slammed it with a 'pa' into Dan Chen's softness, yet also with a hint of elasticity on the mound, stirring up waves.

At the same time, she silently thought: "Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river—do not bully the young and weak. Now I have no choice but to rely on your strength; I can't beat you, but one day I, Lin Zhao, will surely take back my father and everything I have lost!"

At this very moment, Lin Zhao secretly made up her mind: once she becomes strong, she will surely make that dead snake get no good fruit to eat!

By then, she will tie up that snake, then she and her father will frantically kiss in front of it, infuriating it.

And Dan Chen, who had suddenly been hit, stared with a strange expression at Lin Zhao, who was gazing at little Cai with indignant eyes.

This Zhao Er and her husband are truly like father and daughter, both liking to hit me there.

Gazing at Lin Zhao in her arms, Dan Chen's pretty face flushed slightly as she thought.

She didn't understand why her husband always liked to focus his attention there.

Even whenever she served her husband together with the other sisters, those sisters would often suffer attacks from her husband.

But after thinking, she still held Zhao Er and quickly moved to the side, preventing the two little guys from gathering and then fighting.

After all, during this period, that person and snake often fought due to various disputes.

Moreover, each time they fought, the two little guys ended up with bloody heads.

Now, unless absolutely necessary, they will not put that person and snake together.

"Husband, during this trip to Xiao Dan Tower, Sister Feng Er has already built the space passage from here to Heijiaoyu; we can set off anytime."

After Lin Feng brought little Cai and sat down at the chair by the table, Cao Ying immediately leaned her delicate body, her soft form like a snake, lying in her husband's embrace, and softly exhaled fragrance by his ear.

Meanwhile, Xin Lan, seeing this, also quickly fell onto Lin Feng's other shoulder.

As for little Cai, she was directly thrown onto her husband's head.

"Oh, since the space passage is now ready, Feng Er and I will set off shortly; time waits for no one, so you should break through to Dou Saint as soon as possible."

Hearing that, Lin Feng, who had little Cai coiled on his head, turned his head and looked toward Feng Er.

"Good, I also have that intention."

Hearing the former's proposal, Feng Er immediately nodded and agreed.

After all, her strength was insufficient, and she too felt anxious.

And when Lin Feng saw Feng Er nod, he slightly shifted his gaze toward the peerless beauty who had at some point stood beside Dan Chen, asking, "Yun'er, do you want to go back for a stroll?"

"Let's wait until next time to go back; I've only just come out not long ago, my strength is still weak, I'm only at the two-star Dou Venerable level, the newly learned Heavenly Step Technique and Soul Cultivation Technique aren't fully familiar yet, and I still have to teach Zhao Er Battle Qi and Battle techniques, so I have a lot on my plate."

In response to her husband's question, Yun Yun lightly shook her head and refused, after all she's really been busy lately!

Seeing that, Lin Feng also didn't insist, but nodded and said, "Alright, since you've decided, just do as you think."

After saying that, he lightly touched the pink lips of Xin Lan and Ying Er on his left and right shoulders, then steadied the two women.

He then quickly stood up, looked toward Feng Er, and said, "Feng Er, let's set off now."

"Sigh, when will our whole family be able to gather together and enjoy a peaceful life?"

Seeing Lin Feng about to leave again, Cao Ying also stood up together and said helplessly.

Hearing that, Lin Feng also gave a bitter smile, his guilty gaze quickly sweeping over the few women whose expressions turned reluctant.

"Then he promised: "Once all the crises are resolved, I will surely let you live peaceful, good days."

While speaking, he also wrapped his arms around, pulling Xin Lan and Cao Ying into his embrace, then his arms swiftly moved from their soft waists to the backs of their heads, pressing their pretty faces against him.

Immediately, the three of them, without prior agreement, kissed each other in the rear garden.

After comforting the two women, Lin Feng immediately rushed to Yun Yun and Dan Chen, who was holding Lin Zhao, and comforted them in the same way.

"After doing that, Lin Feng finally turned to the side and said, "Feng Er, open the space wormhole to the Northwest Continent."

"Okay."

Seeing Lin Feng having comforted the other sisters, Feng Er's lips curled slightly, then she stepped out with her jade leg and lightly waved her sleeve.

As Feng Er's jade arm waved, the space before her suddenly underwent violent undulations.

An extremely violent surge of spatial energy burst outward.

"Hum!"

The next moment, a low, thunder-like sound echoed endlessly throughout heaven and earth.

Meanwhile, as the spatial undulations spread, the source of the undulations in space also began to slowly rotate.

Immediately, a Space Wormhole several meters in diameter sprang into existence in the rear garden out of thin air.

"This space passage, under the guidance of Sister Yun'er, after my continual adjustments, should be able to lead straight to Heijiaoyu."

Having summoned the Space Wormhole, Feng Er immediately smiled and said to Lin Feng.

Hearing that, Lin Feng also nodded.

"Father, you've just come back—I won't let you leave!"

Seeing the black vortex, Lin Zhao, who had seen this before, immediately understood what it was; anxious like burning, she hurriedly grabbed Lin Feng's sleeve beside her, not letting him leave.

Even Xiao Cai, circling above Lin Feng's head, let out an anxious chirping.

"Good, now father needs to go out to handle some matters; after father finishes the matters, he will immediately come back to keep Zhao'er company."

Seeing this, Lin Feng could only force a smile, gently patting Zhao'er's little head, and said reassuringly.

Danchen also quickly came to his senses from the previous kiss, and said reassuringly: "Zhao'er, be good, your father has important matters to attend to now; we cannot cause him trouble, dragging him down."

"That's fine."

Hearing them say that, Lin Zhao hesitated for a moment, but ultimately, reluctant, let go, releasing Lin Feng's collar.

After Lin Feng settled Zhao'er, he immediately patted Xiao Cai's head and said softly: "Xiao Cai, we've been together for so long; just rest assured, once I finish my business, I will definitely come back to keep you company."

Saying that, he took Xiao Cai from above his head and then placed it on Yun Yun's fragrant shoulder before him.

"Be good."

Afterwards, he lightly tapped Xiao Cai's head, turned around, and his figure turned into a series of afterimages, amidst the reluctant gazes of everyone, he swiftly darted into the Space Wormhole.

"Little Zhao'er, during this time when I'm not around, you must train your body yourself; if later when I return, rest assured you'll still be practicing, waiting to be punished."

After saying that, Feng'er gave Zhao'er a gentle smile, then likewise dove into the Space Wormhole and disappeared.

"Crack!"

Lin Zhao, hearing those words, their baby-fat little face froze on the spot.

At the same time, her previous reluctance vanished completely.

At this moment, if she were a bit older, she probably only wanted to say one sentence to her Aunt Feng'er.

"Aunt Feng'er, I thank you all year round for still remembering my homework!"

However, while some were happy and others worried, Little Zhao'er wore a troubled little face.

The surrounding women, seeing her expression, simply couldn't help but laugh.
