Dream-Making Expert
Mount Xiangji.
A faint wind rose.
Lin Qi wore a dark blue robe. Xiao Ali, only tall enough to reach his knees, clung to his calf like a little dumpling, babbling and squealing.
Not far away.
Wan Teng gazed out at the distant sky like a stone waiting for her husband’s return.
“Time to eat.”
Today, Bai Ling’er had taken a sudden whim and insisted on cooking.
But she had been born noble since childhood and was not skilled in the culinary arts.
Now, it was the same.
So when he heard Bai Ling’er call them to eat.
Lin Qi did not move, pretending not to hear.
Little dumpling Xiao Ali, however, turned pale with fright, on the verge of tears, desperately hiding behind Lin Qi.
Wan Teng also wanted to pretend he hadn’t heard.
But Bai Ling’er shot him a glare, and Wan Teng could only say to Lin Qi.
“Master.”
“Ling’er has finished cooking.”
“You all eat. Yuyao is out alone and has yet to return. This Master is worried and has no appetite today.”
Lin Qi spoke, then turned and went back inside.
Xiao Ali hurriedly clung to Lin Qi’s calf, following him like a pendant as he slipped away.
Wan Teng also wanted to slip away, but the resentful gaze from Bai Ling’er behind him was terrifying.
He could only stop, and forced a smile.
“Ling’er.”
“Senior Sister and the others have yet to return. I too am worried and have no appetite.”
“How about you go call Lin Tathagata and Lin Feng first…”
“Silence, you dog! How dare you stab someone in the back!”
Two angry shouts reached Wan Teng’s ears.
Wan Teng looked toward the sound.
He saw Lin Tathagata and Lin Feng glaring at him with furious eyes.
Was that really necessary?
His wife’s cooking wasn’t actually that bad, was it?
Wan Teng felt somewhat unhappy, thinking they were far too disparaging of Bai Ling’er’s culinary skills.
“Husband, I made many dishes.”
Bai Ling’er called out softly.
Wan Teng sighed, and with the resolve of a man walking to his death, slowly made his way toward the dining table.
“Seems we came back just in time.”
“Eating, are we.”
A soft chuckle, and Gushe took the lead, descending from the sky.
Seeing a table full of good food, she could not help but fall into her piggish cravings, grabbing chopsticks to feast.
But just as she put the first bite into her mouth.
Gushe spat it out. “Despicable, there’s poison in the food!”
“I didn’t.”
Bai Ling’er looked utterly innocent.
Gushe was immediately shocked, and with a whoosh, leaped off the table.
“You were the one cooking today, why didn’t you say so earlier!”
“Where’s Lin Qi?”
“Lin Qi, we’re back.”
Without a shred of hesitation, Gushe turned and found an excuse to go look for Lin Qi.
By the time she reached the wooden hut.
Yuyao had already led Wan Teng and Gao Tianyou over and was chatting with Lin Qi.
“Master.”
“Your disciple was incompetent, and disappointed you.”
Wan Teng’s face was pale, as if his vitality had been greatly damaged. After bowing deeply to Lin Qi, he mocked himself.
“Rise.”
“It’s good that you’re alive.”
“That Heavenly God Abyss is, after all, a veteran Dao-Fusion powerhouse. In pursuit of Dao-Sacrifice, he schemed for endless ages. And Heaven-Abandoning Emperor was secretly causing trouble as well.”
“The fact that you survived means you did not disappoint this Master.”
Lin Qi reached out and helped Wan Teng up, a divine light flashing in his eyes.
He understood Wan Teng’s current physical condition.
Hollow and weak.
It must have been during the time he was used as a whetstone by the Heavenly God Abyss that his very foundation was damaged.
Still, it was only a minor matter.
After a period of rest, he would naturally recover.
“Is the Yellow Emperor Armor still on you now?”
Lin Qi asked again.
Wan Teng nodded and replied, “Reporting to Master, your disciple has already given the Yellow Emperor Armor to Martial-Uncle Gao Tianyou.”
“Good.”
Lin Qi nodded slightly, and beckoned for Fang Yun to first lead Wan Teng away to rest and recuperate.
