New and dark light years

Chapter 428 Surely my lord wouldn't fancy her?
Xie Feng was too obvious; her purple phoenix dress was always exceptionally eye-catching.

Of course, this is on the premise that you can see the ghost.

Xie Feng looked around and then landed in front of Li Lin.

Li Lin didn't speak, he just cupped his hands in greeting.

After looking at Li Lin's face for a while, Xie Feng asked, "You know Liu Zhe... Where is she?"

"How should I address you?" Li Lin asked.

Xie Feng is no longer the Empress or the Empress Dowager, and Li Lin doesn't even know her name.

"You can call me Zi Feng."

Li Lin nodded and asked, "Senior Zi Feng, are you and Liu Zhe friends or foes?"

"More than sixty years ago, if it weren't for her help, I would have died long ago." Zi Feng smiled and said, "Is she friend or foe?"

"How can you prove it?" Li Lin asked.

"Does this even need proof?" Zi Feng's expression clearly showed some displeasure.

Li Lin nodded.

Should he believe whatever others say?

What if he is Liu Zhe's enemy?
Zi Feng looked extremely annoyed, but then she sighed and said, "Fine, you were only trying to protect Liu Zhe, so I won't hold it against you."

"Thank you for your kindness, Senior Zifeng." Li Lin cupped his hands in thanks.

"Were you a Spirit Hunter before?" Zi Feng asked.

Li Lin nodded.

"Then do me a favor."

Li Lin frowned: "It depends on the situation."

Li Lin didn't want to offend Zi Feng; she was very strong and troublesome.

"If you don't help me, I'll kill your wife..."

As soon as Zi Feng uttered these words, her eyes widened, and she immediately leaped backward into the air.

Several bolts of purple lightning struck the spot where she had been standing.

She stared at Li Lin in shock, not at his strength, but at the decisiveness with which he acted.

Without the slightest hesitation.

Li Lin held the Bone-Slaying Wine in his right hand while rapidly forming hand seals with his left.

In the blink of an eye, several more bolts of purple lightning struck down.

Boom boom boom boom!
Zi Feng withstood five strikes of heavenly lightning this time, and her expression was somewhat distorted.

"Alright, I'll give you five moves as an apology. I was wrong earlier. Stop now, or I'll really get angry."

Zi Feng was in a rather disheveled state.

Although she was very strong, it was still quite difficult for her to withstand five strikes of heavenly lightning driven by spiritual energy.

If it were a weaker monster, it would have been annihilated long ago.

Seeing this, Li Lin put away the Soul-Slaying Wine and placed it back in his sleeve.

Zi Feng floated down again: "You seem to be quite protective of your wife."

Li Lin said, "Senior Zifeng, I apologize for any offense."

"You're protecting Liu Zhe, and you're protecting your wife too." Zi Feng looked at Li Lin with admiration in her eyes: "I only threatened you, and you dared to fight me. You're a real man, much stronger than the men of the Zhu family."

Li Lin didn't say anything.

Zi Feng continued, "The matter I asked you to help with is not difficult at all, so you can rest assured."

"Senior, please tell me."

"Heh, now you're easier to talk to?" Zi Feng rolled her eyes at Li Lin helplessly, quite charmingly: "You must have a lot of blood rice, right?"

"Yes, they exist, but they are all stored in Yulin County."

Li Lin doesn't eat blood rice much anymore, but as a spirit hunter, he can still receive a portion, and his blood rice hasn't been cut off just because he became a county magistrate.

Most of this blood-stained rice ended up in the stomachs of Huang Qing and the other three women.

Although they can benefit from dual cultivation, the effect is only about half that of Li Lin.

Therefore, blood rice is also very useful to them.

However, once they have more spirit rice, they can switch to eating spirit rice, which is more effective than blood rice.

"That's a bit troublesome..."

"What does Senior need blood rice for?"

“I need some yang energy, or vital energy,” Zi Feng said. “But I don’t want to absorb men’s vital energy. I feel nauseous whenever I see a man.”

She then glanced at Li Lin and said, "You're barely passable."

Li Lin thought for a moment, then took out a porcelain bottle from his clothes: "Here are some Qi-Boosting Pills, which I refined." Li Lin had Qi-Boosting Pills, but he didn't want to take them out.

Zi Feng was a little puzzled. She took the Vitality Pill, uncorked it, smelled it, and then said, "It's barely usable. I owe you a favor."

After saying that, she flew up and disappeared into the sky.

Li Lin watched the other person disappear. He knew very well that Zi Feng was going to kill someone again.

He shook his head and went home.

It was nearly noon, and he and his two wives were about to eat when they heard the steward come over and say, "Master, a distinguished guest has arrived outside, who calls himself Young Master Zhu."

The Second Prince Zhu.

Li Lin said, "Please invite him to the study."

Then Li Lin said to Huang Qing and Hong Luan, "You two can eat first later."

"No rush, I'll wait for my husband to return before we eat."

Li Lin nodded and went to the study.

Not long after, the steward brought Zhu Huan over.

Li Lin stood up, clasped his hands in greeting, and said, "It is a great honor for Young Master Zhu to grace my humble abode with his presence."

Zhu Huan pointed at Li Lin and laughed, "But I see you don't look honored at all. We're already friends, no need to be so polite."

Li Lin no longer stood on ceremony and invited the other party to sit down.

"No need to thank me for this housewarming gift," Zhu Huan said, pushing a brocade box over.

Li Lin accepted it and thanked him.

Zhu Huan sighed, "This place has finally returned to the hands of your Li family."

Li Lin was taken aback for a moment, then asked, "What do you mean?"

"Keep pretending." Zhu Huan pointed at Li Lin with his fan and said with a hint of resentment, "Let's not talk about this anymore. I also have something to tell you this time."

"whats the matter?"

"Consort Yourong sent someone to find me and asked me to tell you that she wants to see you."

Li Lin was taken aback: "I am not qualified to enter the inner palace, nor do I want to."

Zhu Huan laughed and said, "I know you have a beautiful wife at home that you can't bear to part with. Consort Rong isn't stupid either. She's going back to the Yang family to visit her relatives, so she'll be waiting there. You can go there tomorrow morning."

"Yang family?"

"The Imperial Concubine Yourong's surname is Yang. I'm not quite sure about her previous name, but now she's called Yourong."

Yang Yourong.

Li Lin asked, "Why does the Imperial Concubine want to see me?"

"How would I know?" Zhu Huan laughed. "You can go see her tomorrow."

"Do you think I should see him?"

"Let's meet. You're both from Jin County, and from a neighboring county. Besides, there seems to be some misunderstanding between you. It would be good to meet and clear things up."

Li Lin thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "Alright, I'll trouble Young Master Zhu to pass on the message."

At this moment, Zhu Huan stretched out his hand: "Wages, you need to be paid to do things for others."

Li Lin paused for a moment, then asked, "What does Young Master Zhu want?"

"A bottle of pills."

"Rejuvenation Pill?"

"What would a grown man like me need that for? Give me a health tonic."

Li Lin smiled, turned around and went to the bookshelf, took down a small box, took out a bottle of body-strengthening pills, and handed it to Zhu Huan.

Zhu Huan couldn't wait to open the bottle, take a sniff, and then sighed, "That's the smell, no doubt about it."

Then Zhu Huan stood up: "Alright, I should go now."

After saying this, Zhu Huan left.

Li Lin saw him outside, then turned around and went home as well.

He returned to the backyard, where his two wives were waiting for him, preparing to eat.

Upon seeing him approach, Huang Qing smiled and said, "My lord, hurry up, the food is still warm."

Li Lin nodded and sat down, saying, "I'm going to see Consort Yourong tomorrow. What kind of gifts do you think I should bring?"

Huang Qing was taken aback: "Consort Yourong?"

Li Lin nodded.

"I've heard she's the most beautiful woman in the world..." Huang Qing said nervously, "My lord, you wouldn't be interested in her, would you?"
