Chapter 7: Full and Satisfied
Lin Nan looked at Lian Yun with a face full of disagreement, his eyes filled with concern. It wasn't that he opposed going to Cloud Emperor City; rather, he disagreed with Lian Yun's plans for the future.
Despite Lin Nan's tightly guarded thoughts, he was completely unable to understand the silent riddle between his father and cousin.
“Dad, Cousin, what are you two talking about? Hurry up and tell me! Cousin, you know how powerful our Lin family is. Even the Alliance has to show us some respect. How could your visit to our home possibly bring us trouble?”
“I've thought about it! In the future, you can just call me ‘brother’ instead of ‘cousin.’ Doesn’t that feel much more intimate?”
Lin Nan was bewildered yet full of anticipation.
“From now on, you can just call me brother!” Lian Yun said, touched, with a slight smile.
Lin Nan immediately beamed with joy, his face lighting up with a smile. “Brother! Does that mean you agree?”
The way he called out “brother” felt so natural; it seemed he had practiced it many times at home. However, when Lian Yun shook his head, Lin Nan’s expression instantly shifted to one of sadness, disappointment, and loss.
Lian Yun felt a pang of guilt and almost agreed.
At this moment, seeing Lian Yun's firm resolve, Lin Nan flashed a hint of disappointment and regret but explained, “Your cousin is worried about dragging us down. That means he has greater abilities than before. However, that conspiracy between the Demon Clan and the Alliance from years ago signifies that there is no place for your cousin to survive among either the human race or the Demon Clan. Thus, your cousin can only…”
“Yin Yang City—no way! Absolutely not! Grandma would never agree to you going there; it’s out of the question!” Lin Nan shouted vehemently, showing strong opposition.
Lian Yun patted his shoulder and smiled gently. “It’s not like I’m going right away. At least I need to wait until my spiritual power recovers to a certain level and make a trip to Evil Spirit City first!”
Anyone who could come out of Evil Spirit City was almost guaranteed to be a king. Although there were many kings with varying strengths, being a king represented a certain level of power. Thus, Lian Yun meant that without sufficient self-defense capability, he wouldn’t easily venture into Yin Yang City.
Even so, Lin Nan still showed anger and fierce determination in his eyes as if he would do anything to prevent Lian Yun from going to this so-called Yin Yang City.
Lian Yun felt somewhat helpless and pulled out another token from his pocket.
It was dark gold in color; one side bore the characters for Cloud Emperor in seal script while the other side featured a dragon design that looked exceptionally imposing and noble.
"Unless Big Head is still recovering inside, it wouldn't hurt to send this to Nan."
"Don't want it, how rude~~"
"Didn't you often borrow from your brother before? It's just that I never lent you anything."
"That's right, you wouldn't lend me anything back then, and now you're actually willing to give it. Clearly, you have ulterior motives."
It was obvious that Lin Nan was angry, determined to oppose Lian Yun, as if hoping to provoke a fight that would somehow bind Lian Yun.
This left Lian Yun feeling even more helpless; he couldn't even divert Lin Nan's attention. He truly had no way to deal with his angry cousin.
However, Lin Nan was suddenly interested. "Hmm! Back in the day, you had twenty Ghost Slaves, and now only Big Head remains. I wonder how it's recovering. Can you let it out for Uncle to see?"
"Big Head fully recovered two months ago, but its strength has completely vanished. Now it's just at the level of a low-tier monster. However, letting it out isn't a problem."
With that, Lian Yun gently brushed the Cloud Emperor's Order, and a phantom floated out.
However~~
The ghost that emerged was only as tall as a human's arm length, with a head nearly one-third larger than normal. It immediately began shouting, "Ah! I'm suffocating in there! Really suffocating! Boss, I've been calling for you and you didn't hear me? Boss! Boss! Something inside you is summoning me; let me in quickly! Hurry up and let me in!"
Big Head Ghost circled around Lian Yun's head in an eager state.
Lin Nan and his father were both puzzled and curious, but Lian Yun seemed oblivious.
However, seeing the expressions on his uncle and cousin's faces, he understood the reason behind it. With some resignation, he said, "Big Head, I've lost my spiritual power and can't hear what you're saying!"
Lin Nan hurriedly repeated Big Head's words, while Lin Nan quickly took a pair of glasses from a drawer and handed them to Lian Yun.
As Lian Yun put on the glasses, he saw a pair of heads filled with grievances before him.
A slight smile of apology served as a comfort; he knew that what Big Head referred to was the box within him, but he was unaware of its effects. How had he summoned Big Head?
He couldn't figure it out, yet he dared not act recklessly.
Big Head had signed a Soul Contract with Lian Yun, knowing what Lian Yun was thinking. In a rush, he exclaimed, "It's fine, really! Please let me in! I beg you, my dear boss!"
Then Big Head directly lay on top of Lian Yun's head, acting cute and pleading desperately.
Lian Yun felt quite helpless about this. Although he could understand some lip movements, he couldn't gather any information without seeing the lips move. So he said, "Come in front of me and say it again."
Thus, Big Head floated sadly to Lian Yun's eye level and repeated himself.
Seeing Big Head like this made Lian Yun inclined to agree, but he still didn't know how to allow Big Head into the box within him.
However, just as Lian Yun was about to agree to Big Head's request, Big Head swiftly darted into his body.
This caused both Lin Nan and Lin Nan to show expressions of great concern. Yet, Lian Yun merely smiled lightly and sat cross-legged, directing his consciousness into his body.
Three years ago, during that conspiracy, if it hadn't been for the desperate protection of twenty Ghost Slaves, Lian Yun might not have survived. Even if he did live, his body would surely have been damaged and wouldn't be as whole as it was now; not to mention his physical abilities would have been far below normal.
Therefore, Lian Yun naturally indulged this first follower who had submitted to him and remained most loyal—Big Head.
However, due to his lack of understanding about the box, Lian Yun hurriedly checked on its safety.
Once his consciousness entered the box, though, Lian Yun was left dumbfounded.
First, he realized that he could actually see Big Head. Then he noticed that Big Head was making grand gestures as if devouring everything in sight, frantically consuming the grayish substances inside the box. At the same time, his strength rapidly surged: from level one to level two, then from level two to level three, until he finally stopped at level four.
Yet Lian Yun understood that this wasn't because Big Head couldn't advance further; rather, the grayish substances within the box had been completely consumed. Although the interior remained dimly lit, there wasn't a trace of those grayish materials left.
Despite this, Lian Yun still felt a bit worried because Big Head Ghost's body swayed unsteadily.
The result~~
"Hey~~ Boss~ Let's catch some ghosts and bring them in~~ Hey~~ This place can refine other Spirits~~ Hey~~ Turn them into food~~ Once I recover my strength, I can protect Grandma again!"
Drunk~~ Yes, the Big Head Ghost was not just burping from being full; it was as if he was completely intoxicated. This left Lian Yun feeling both surprised and utterly speechless, especially since the Big Head Ghost had collapsed inside the Box and fallen asleep.
Lian Yun found it both amusing and infuriating, but his smile quickly froze on his face when he noticed that a stream of vibrant green liquid was seeping out of the sleeping Big Head Ghost and being absorbed by the Box, while the Big Head Ghost's cultivation level began to decline.
This alarmed Lian Yun. He wanted to pull the Big Head Ghost out, but he realized that the Box was beyond his control in this state.
"Boss, I'm fine. This is necessary; my cultivation can't recover too quickly. I'm compressing my realm, and in the future, my strength will definitely surpass many opponents of the same level."
The Big Head Ghost remained asleep, yet it seemed as if he communicated his thoughts to Lian Yun through a dream.
This somewhat reassured Lian Yun.
However, he still observed carefully for a while, ensuring that there was no trace of pain on the Big Head Ghost's face before he truly relaxed.
As his mind returned, Lian Yun looked curiously at his uncle and cousin, who wore serious expressions.
