Chapter 4739
Kai listened to Lin Chong’s words and nodded slightly.
It seemed the world of Heaven and Man was far deeper than he had imagined. However, now that he had Sun Moon City as his stronghold, he refused to be hunted down like before.
With a secure base, he would have more time to cultivate. He needed to improve his strength as quickly as possible and attempt to ascend the Ladder to Heaven.
If he could pass the ladder’s trial, he wouldn’t have to rely on slow cultivation to ascend—he could reach the heavens directly!
But his most pressing concern was dealing with the Ten Palaces.
Once the Ten Palaces were eliminated, no one would be able to threaten him, and he could move freely within the world of Heaven and Man.
He also had to find Su Yuqi. He couldn’t ascend the Ladder to Heaven alone, and as long as Su Yuqi remained missing in this world, he wouldn’t be at ease.
Moreover, he still had to rescue the leader of the Refining Sect—something he had promised to do.
As for the bones of the Red Cloud Demon Lord, whether they could be found was a matter for later. It wasn’t a priority.
In truth, having the Red Cloud Demon Lord residing in his sea of consciousness was quite beneficial. Not only did it give him an extra ally in times of crisis, but it also provided a source of wisdom and knowledge. After all, the demon lord had a wealth of experience.
If he truly ascended to the heavens, everything would be unfamiliar to him, but for the Red Cloud Demon Lord, it would be a familiar place.
“Boy, what’s with that look? Don’t tell me you don’t want me to be reborn?”
The Red Cloud Demon Lord’s voice rang out in irritation.
“Senior, I was just thinking aloud. I’ll definitely help you recover your skeleton!”
Kai’s expression turned awkward. Since the Red Cloud Demon Lord resided in his sea of consciousness, he could sometimes sense Kai’s thoughts.
At that moment, a sharp voice interrupted.
“Father, let Kai go immediately! If you dare lay a hand on him, I will sever all ties with you and die in your hall!”
Lin Keting’s figure rushed in, her voice filled with urgency.
Lin Kefan and Taoist Wuji followed closely behind.
After hearing her fourth brother Lin Kefan’s words, Lin Keting could wait no longer. She kicked open the door to the confinement room and stormed into the main hall.
She and Kai were destined to be together for life.
Now, her father intended to cripple Kai’s arm—something she could never allow!
When Lin Keting and the others rushed in, they were stunned.
At that moment, Kai was casually seated on the dragon chair, sipping tea, while Lin Chong stood to the side, serving him with the utmost respect.
Lin Chong even had a pleasant smile on his face, showing no sign of displeasure.
“What’s going on?”
Lin Kefan asked in bewilderment.
Just moments ago, tension filled the air between the two. How had the situation changed so drastically?
And more importantly—how did Kai have the audacity to sit on the dragon chair?
“I’m just curious whether it’s comfortable to sit on, so I gave it a try…”
Kai quickly stood up and gestured toward Lin Chong. “Please, you sit. You sit…”
Lin Chong immediately understood, hurriedly taking his seat on the dragon chair. With a faint smile, he said, “Just now, my son-in-law was simply trying it out. After all, we’re all family—no harm in sitting for a bit!”
“Son-in-law? Family?”
Lin Kefan’s face was filled with disbelief. Even as Lin Chong’s own son, he had never dared to sit on that chair.
Yet Kai—who technically wasn’t even family—could?
“Dad, does this mean you’ve accepted Kai?” Lin Keting asked cautiously.
“Of course! I was merely testing him earlier.”
“A son-in-law like this is rare to find, even with a lantern. You’ve chosen well.”
“I’ve made up my mind—you can have your wedding night tonight. From now on, we’re officially family!”
Lin Chong declared happily.
“Dad, what are you talking about?” Lin Keting’s face flushed red.
