Youth Song: Leijiabao Thunder Emperor

"Hey Mr. Xiao, aren't you afraid we brothers will smash up your shop if you keep extorting money like this?"

Inside the Snowdrift Manor, Lei Dong watched as Xiao Laoliu treated Lei Wujie like a fool and couldn't help but speak up in annoyance.

Although he already knew the plot, Lei Dong was still speechless when the events unfolded before his eyes.

This is his younger brother, how could he let this sixth brother bully him?

You old Xiao, you really don't know the Lei family's tendency to destroy things.

Lei Meng killed and demolished the Donggui Tavern.

Lei Yunhe dismantled the Wangcheng Mountain plank road and the main hall.

Li Hanyi dismantles Dengtiange.

Lei Wujie was right in front of me. I grabbed him by the back of the collar and threw four thunderbolts. I managed to turn Snowfall Manor into a leaky Snowfall Manor.

These are all achievements. Ask around and see who has ever lost money. Do you think the Lei family's reputation is a joke? Are you looking down on people?

So who is Lei Dong, who suddenly appeared, and why is there such a person?

Lei Dong, a transmigrator, was a struggling writer in his previous life. On the day he settled his royalties, he went out for a drink with friends. On his way home, he wasn't paying attention and stepped on a manhole cover, falling in.

It was a very long process. During this process, his body kept shrinking until he finally became an infant and landed at the entrance of Lei Family Fort to perform some performance art. After that, he naturally became a disciple of Lei Family Fort.

He truly deserves the title of "transmigrator." Even without any special abilities, he still displayed extraordinary talent in cultivation.

He has a photographic memory, superhuman strength, and meridians that are twice as wide as others. Although he is not at the level of having innate martial meridians, he is still a true genius.

In Lei Dong's own understanding, it's about compressing the essence, undergoing secondary development, and making one plus one far greater than two.

Using the terminology from the novel *Swallowed Star*, his current situation is more like having a double gene.

His talent naturally caught Lei Qianhu's attention, and he was accepted as a disciple at the age of five, with three unique skills to choose from.

Do I even need to think about what I'll learn from Lei Qianhu?

It's naturally the Thunderclap Finger; after all, strength is temporary, but coolness lasts a lifetime.

If it were Lei Hong, he might consider using fire-burning techniques and swordsmanship, but Lei Qianhu wouldn't even consider it. He had never thought of solving a problem by dying together with his opponent in either of his lives.

Moreover, Jing Lei is not only handsome, but also highly versatile. Coupled with Lei Dong's imaginative ideas, his future looks promising.

For example, he thoroughly studied the basic martial arts classics of Lei Family Fortress, researched medical skills for a year, and developed the Thunderclap Body Forging Technique when he was ten years old. It strengthens the body and cultivates both internal and external health.

Its effects are in no way inferior to the Buddhist Vajra Indestructible Divine Skill, not to mention...

It provides bonuses to speed and attack power during combat. Upon seeing it, Lei Qianhu was immediately awestruck.

Six months later, after Lei Dong demonstrated the Thousand Birds technique, all of the Lei family's martial arts techniques were made available to him, including the Wufang Fist and the Five Thunder Heavenly Gang Fist.

Unfortunately, the Nine Heavens Lightning Summoning Technique he wanted was not available.

With such talent and Lei Qianhu's unconditional support, Lei Dong naturally didn't want the title of the number one genius; he wanted to pursue the pinnacle of martial arts.

He strives to perfect every level, aiming to be invincible within his realm. He wants to follow in the footsteps of Wang Xianzhi.

Countless sparring sessions proved that he had succeeded. Although he and Lei Wujie were both at the peak of the Vajra Mortal Realm, Lei Dong could end the battle with a single powerful blow if Lei Wujie did not use the Fire Scorching Technique.

This is Lei Wujie after ten years of training; otherwise, this brat would only be a ninth-rank now.

"What do you want to do? You disciples of Lei Family Fortress don't have to pay for the damage you've done?"

Seeing Lei Dong's unfriendly tone, Xiao Se couldn't help but take a half step back, looking at him with some wariness.

"Compensation for the construction cost is no problem, but we need to have a serious talk about your outrageous demands."

Five hundred taels of silver. Is your Leaky Snow Manor worth that much if you demolish and rebuild it?

"This is Snowfall Manor. You wouldn't understand even if I told you, you two brutes."

Four hundred taels is for my travel expenses. Snowmoon City is a long way away, and it will probably take one or two months to travel there and back. Is five hundred taels too much?

I almost burst out laughing at Xiao Se Lei Dong's self-righteous attitude.

You think too highly of the three of us. Let me tell you, if the three of us travel together, you won't be able to get to Snowmoon City for at least three months.

That's right, Lei Dong is also terrible with directions, the kind of person who can still get lost even with a GPS.

"Boss Xiao, judging from your clothes, they must cost more than a hundred taels. Is it really necessary for you to personally accompany us through the snow-covered mountains for a hundred taels of silver?"

"How can money be a small matter? Just tell me if you're going to compensate us or not. The reputation of Lei Family Fort disciples who damage things and don't compensate for them isn't very good."

Xiao Se ignored Lei Dong and looked at Lei Wujie instead.

Lei Wujie immediately felt embarrassed by the stare and scratched his head. He then said decisively.

"Of course I'll compensate. The Lei family has always been upright and honest, and we take responsibility for our actions. I will compensate for the damage I caused."

"Then take the money."

"I...I have no money."

"What my senior brother said makes sense. Snowmoon City is a long way away. How about five hundred taels?"

Feeling guilty, Lei Wujie tugged at Lei Dong's sleeve and said somewhat timidly.

"You, you'd be counting the money for him even if he sold you out."

"Boss Xiao, I won't ask your purpose for going to Snowmoon City. We'll protect your safety, and you'll cover all your expenses along the way. How does that sound?"

"Why you...?"

"Stop, stop, stop. Your tricks might fool Lei Wujie, but you're so weak you can't even hold a knife properly, let alone go collect debts. Do you think you can come back safely if I give you five hundred taels?"

I don't care what your purpose is. You're responsible for all expenses along the way, and we'll ensure your safety. Give me a straight answer, whether you're okay with it or not.

Lei Dong started tidying up his things as he spoke.

"make a deal.."

Seeing that Lei Dong was almost finished packing, Xiao Se couldn't help but squeeze out two words through gritted teeth, his back view showing such heartache.

"Then go and get the silver."

"Take more money since it's a long journey. You absolutely can't be without money when you're traveling."

Xiao Se, who was about to go upstairs to pack her things, almost tripped and fell. She glanced back at Lei Dong and quickly disappeared from everyone's sight.

"Senior brother, isn't what we're doing a bit inappropriate?"

"There's nothing wrong with it. He wants to go to Snowmoon City, you can't be his bodyguard for free, can you? A Vajra Mirror bodyguard. Tsk tsk, he's hit the jackpot."

Don't worry, this Mr. Xiao is well-off.

Lei Dong glanced furtively at their two companions as he spoke. These two must be from Bai Xiaotang.

For a moment, he even suspected that those bandits were also arranged by Ji Ruofeng.

However, Lei Dong immediately dismissed his idea. No matter how quick-witted and knowledgeable Ji Ruofeng was, he could not have predicted that the two young geniuses from Lei Family Fort in Jiangnan would travel from Dali, Yunnan to the outskirts of Nanjing.

He'd probably be stunned if he found out. Not to mention, he'd planned ahead and paired Xiao Se and Lei Wujie up.

However, once he stepped through that door, he and Lei Wujie were officially registered with various powerful forces.

They would automatically be assigned to Xiao Chuhe's camp. The calamity at Leimen was also quickly put on the agenda.

He had considered preventing Lei Wujie and Xiao Se from meeting, but after thinking it over, he felt it wouldn't be very useful.

Tang Lianyue has chosen the wrong side. The Tang Clan is now in a situation where it has nowhere to retreat. The first choice to eliminate the Langya King's influence in the martial arts world is definitely the Tang Clan.

Old Master Tang had no choice but to show his sincerity to Tianqi, and the Lei Family Fort Heroes' Banquet was the best way to pledge his loyalty.

Who made the Lei family have Lei Mengsha first and Li Hanyi second?

We can't exactly go to the Sword Heart Tomb and fight Li Suwang to the death, can we? It would be so embarrassing if we couldn't win.

In contrast, Lei Qianhu is seriously ill, Lei Yunhe is missing, and Lei Hong has no combat record. They are both significant and easy targets; if we don't bully them, who else should we target?

If they stop Lei Wujie, Li Hanyi and Xiao Se will not go to Lei Family Fortress. If the Dark River and the Tang Clan gather at Lei Family Fortress, their chances of survival are slim.

All he can do now is to increase the strength of Lei Family Fort as much as possible without affecting the plot, and to avoid tragedy at the beginning of the story.
