Lin Zhu laughed and said, "It's alright, a cow is enough to fill me up."

The barbecue chef finally breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good, that's good!"

Then, a sense of unease crept into his mind: was Lin Zhu just bragging? No, he should be saying he was going to eat beef.

Boasting is just boasting, no matter how good it is; eating beef is even better.

He decided that from now on, if someone is boastful, he'll say they eat beef instead of bragging.

In fact, whether it's bragging or eating beef, Lin Zhu can do it all, literally.

Yan Lingji couldn't help but laugh as she watched Lin Zhu and the barbecue chef joking around; her smile was dazzling.

Shang Xiuxun said, "I'll arrange rooms for you two."

Yan Lingji said in advance, "My younger brother and I will share a room."

"Ah?" Shang Xiuxun exclaimed in surprise, feeling a pang of sadness in her heart. She didn't want Lin Zhu and Yan Lingji to share a room.

Yan Lingji said, "Let's arrange it like this, Sister Shang, you don't need to go to too much trouble."

“This!” Shang Xiuxun turned to look at Lin Zhu.

Lin Zhu couldn't refuse, so she nodded.

Shang Xiuxun's mood plummeted, but then her eyes lit up. There was a chat group; what was there to be afraid of?

Then the arrangements were made.

Then she said, "Excuse me for a moment."

"Sister Shang, please do as you please." Lin Zhu knew what she was going to do.

Behind the Pegasus Ranch, in a bamboo house, an old man was coughing.

Shang Xiuxun heard the coughing sound and felt complicated feelings towards the old man in the room. She hated him, but she didn't really want him to die.

After hesitating outside for a while, I finally pushed open the door and went inside.

Upon seeing Shang Xiuxun enter, the old man's eyes lit up. "Xiuxun, what brings you here?"

Shang Xiuxun showed no kindness to her father, Lu Miaozi, even when she did show a little concern.

She took out the blood bodhi without expression and said to him, "Eat it."

Having said that, he threw it to Lu Miaozi.

Lu Miaozi reached out and took it, recognizing it at a glance, "This is the Blood Bodhi!"

He was a man of great experience and knowledge. "You, how did you get it?"

He felt both joy and worry, fearing that his daughter might do something against her conscience for his sake.

Shang Xiuxun snorted coldly, "You don't need to worry about how you got it, just don't die here."

After saying that, he left without looking back.

"Wait!" Lu Miaozi was still a little worried, so he didn't eat the Blood Bodhi and chased after them.

Shang Xiuxun turned around and glared at him. "Don't come near me."

Lu Miaozi wasn't scared. "If you don't tell me where this came from, I won't eat it."

"Fine, don't eat then." Shang Xiuxun's expression revealed a hint of anger, but she didn't look a bit aggrieved.

Upon seeing that look, Lu Miaozi immediately put the Blood Bodhi into his mouth.

Shang Xiuxun was now a little confused about what Lu Miaozi was doing.

Lu Miaozi was a polymath, and he was also able to see through people's hearts.

Seeing Shang Xiuxun's behavior, it was clear that she hadn't obtained the Blood Bodhi by sacrificing herself, so of course she had to eat it.

Otherwise, how could his internal injuries be healed?

His internal injuries have been there for decades; if left untreated, he will eventually die.

After consuming the Blood Bodhi, the body felt as if it had been parched for a long time and received timely rain; years of internal injuries were rapidly healed.

At the same time, the Grandmaster's realm is loosening.

He was originally a highly skilled individual, and if it weren't for Zhu Yuyan's scheme, his strength would have already reached its peak.

Now, after thirty years of accumulation, although his skill has declined, his realm has rapidly improved because he has seen through life and death.

Now that he has consumed the Blood Bodhi, the pent-up emotions of the past thirty years have suddenly erupted.

A powerful aura rose from the back of the mountain.

Lin Zhu and Yan Lingji sensed it, but didn't go to check.

Yan Lingji asked curiously, "Little brother, do you know who that is?" She was sitting on Lin Zhu's lap when she asked.

Lin Zhu felt that she had been taken advantage of, so she wanted to get her revenge.

But even with Huo Ling'er there, he still didn't take any action.

Chapter 382 Huo Ling'er's Show of Power

"It should be Sister Shang's father, Lu Miaozi. He lives in the back mountain. The blood bodhi I gave her was for her to give to Lu Miaozi."

Lin Zhu didn't hide anything from Yan Lingji, burying his head in Yan Lingji's neck and taking a deep breath.

"It's a little itchy!"

Yan Lingji reached out and scratched her neck, a smile spreading across her face. She quite liked this feeling.

Just as the two were deeply in love, the sound of chaotic hoofbeats reached Lin Zhu's ears.

At the same time, I also felt a slight tremor in the ground.

This is the noise caused by the cavalry's charge.

Lin Zhu stood up and helped Yan Lingji to her feet as well.

"I didn't expect it to come so quickly."

After saying that, he took Yan Lingji out of the room, while Huo Ling'er strolled in the air, following Lin Zhu.

The three of them walked out of the pasture and looked into the distance.

The world was white, with a black line appearing in the distance.

The sound of horses' hooves grew closer and closer.

The people and horses in Pegasus Ranch heard it and came running out one by one.

On the back mountain, Shang Xiuxun said to Lu Miaozi, "You stay here and heal your injuries. I have helpers who are stronger than you, so don't worry."

Lu Miaozi was no longer worried after hearing this, but it was still heartbreaking.

However, since Shang Xiuxun had already given such instructions, he didn't want his daughter to worry.

He knew that although Shang Xiuxun had not forgiven him, she still cared about him, which warmed his heart.

At the same time, he felt even more guilty and thought he must make it up to his daughter.

In front of the Pegasus Ranch, Shang Xiuxun came to Lin Zhu's side and reached out to pull Huo Ling'er into her arms.

The cavalry drew closer, and the leader was none other than Xiang Liang.

When they were several dozen meters away from Lin Zhu and his men, the warhorses stopped in unison and lay down on the ground, not daring to move.

Including the magnificent steed that Xiang Liang rode.

Thousands of cavalrymen were thrown to the ground.

This was Huo Ling'er's doing. She only needed to release her aura slightly; she didn't even need to unleash her full power.

Lin Zhu sensed it, gently rubbed Huo Ling'er in Shang Xiuxun's arms, and praised, "Well done."

His voice was undisguised and was heard by Xiang Liang.

Although he was thrown to the ground by his magnificent steed, Xiang Liang was not in a bad state. He stood up as soon as he landed and shouted loudly, "Friend ahead, what is your relationship with Pegasus Ranch?"

Lin Zhu didn't have the habit of shouting at others from a distance, so she said to Shang Xiuxun, "Sister Shang, shall we go over there?"

"I'll listen to you, sister." Shang Xiuxun looked at Lin Zhu and gave her a gentle smile.

Yan Lingji held onto Lin Zhu's arm, following him step by step.

A short while later, the three appeared in front of Xiang Liang.

Xiang Liang was taken aback when he saw Lin Zhu.

Then, a thought immediately struck him, and he instantly recognized Lin Zhu's identity. He took the initiative to ask, "Is it Young Master Lin Zhu in person?"

His gaze was somewhat evasive, and his proud head lowered.

On the one hand, it was because of Lin Zhu's strength, and on the other hand, it was because he was afraid of following in Chu Liuxiang's footsteps.

Chu Liuxiang isn't completely dead yet, but his reputation isn't good either.

He, Xiang Liang, is now the uncle of the Hegemon-King of Southern Chu; he cannot bring shame upon the Southern Chu royal family.

"It's me. I heard that Lord Xiang intends to force my sister into marriage?" Lin Zhu looked at Xiang Liang, her tone very calm.

Xiang Liang was able to assess the situation and quickly apologized, "I was unaware of the relationship between Miss Shang and Young Master Lin. If I had known, I certainly wouldn't have done such a despicable thing. Please forgive me, Young Master Lin."

Lin Zhu didn't expect Xiang Liang to back down so quickly. He really is worthy of being called Xiang Liang!

Looking at this army of a thousand, although they were all knocked to the ground, they quickly reassembled into a battle formation, and their combined power was no less than that of a peerless master.

These are the elite troops of Southern Chu.

"It's not that I want your forgiveness, but my sister has been frightened by you these past few days. What do you suggest we do?"

Hearing this, Xiang Liang felt aggrieved, but on the surface he still had to appear submissive and said to Shang Xiuxun, "Miss Shang, it was my fault some time ago, and I accept the punishment today."

Having said that, he clasped his hands and bowed deeply, remaining there for a long time.

He knew that his army was gaining momentum and that it wouldn't be a problem to directly confront a top-tier opponent.

But if it were someone like Lin Zhu, a master of his craft, he would have absolutely no confidence, especially since he had seen Huo Ling'er in Shang Xiuxun's arms.

That's a fire qilin!
