Chapter 31

Everyone sized each other up, then shared a knowing smile, a thousand words unspoken!

After a while, Lin Zheng asked in puzzlement, "Brothers, even if time passes more slowly in the Third Realm, why do Xuanxuan and the others still look like children?"

"Cough, to be precise, we are all people with ten thousand years of age, but I forgot to tell you that in the Third Realm, one can maintain their appearance. You go in looking a certain way and come out the same. The world inside cannot be judged by the standards of the Heavenly Realm! It seems some laws have been completely damaged! As for Xuanxuan and the others, because they have taken a large amount of spiritual medicine and undergone changes, they are always in a state of constant sleep, sometimes for days, sometimes for months, and even sometimes for years! Despite the long time, they are actually awake for very little time, and they still have the temperament of children! However, it's much better now; they don't need to sleep to slowly digest the mysterious power inside their bodies! The old man said that these three people will likely be quite extraordinary in the future!" Lin Dao explained in detail to Lin Zheng!

"What kind of place is this Third Realm?"

"Um, it's really hard to describe with words. You'll have to see it for yourself when you get the chance!"

Lin Zheng nodded, then picked up Xuanxuan. The little girl was clearly unhappy. Lin Zheng chuckled, "What's wrong, Xuanxuan?"

"Brother, you didn't bring any gifts, so Xuanxuan is unhappy, and the little brothers are unhappy too!" The little girl pouted and said in a childish voice. The two little boys instantly changed their expressions, their faces showing clear signs of unhappiness!

"Um!" Lin Zheng's lips twitched helplessly, and the others looked equally helpless! Suddenly, Lin Zheng remembered that Ruo Shui seemed to have prepared a large package for him when he left the mountain, which should contain gifts for everyone.

Lin Zheng put Xuanxuan down and vanished from the spot in a flash. Lin Dao's eyes narrowed, watching Lin Zheng's departing figure and saying to the others, "Was that Illusory Dance just now? It seems our Lin family is about to have another prodigy! There aren't many who can master Illusory Dance to perfection!" Everyone nodded, a glimpse of the leopard through the tube, Lin Zheng's departure was enough to show most of his strength. From the time Lin Zheng awakened to now, it has only been half a month, such rapid improvement has never been heard of in the Wu Kong Sect, and even outside, he would be considered a prodigy!

After a while, Lin Zheng returned with a large package. He plopped down on the ground, placed the package in front of him, and the three little rascals instantly surrounded him, their eyes sparkling with excitement, making Lin Zheng feel a bit flustered. He quickly opened the package, and various items spilled out. Before Lin Zheng could pick out the toys, the three little rascals pounced, rolled on the ground a few times, and when they got up, all the toys were in their arms!

Lin Zheng stood there, speechless, and jokingly asked Lin Dao, "Don't tell me these three little rascals' special ability is this?"

"Cough, of course not, they are still children, and besides, you were more capable than them when you were young!" Lin Dao teased, and Lin Zheng awkwardly shook his head, picking up some things from the ground and leaving a gift for each of them, including Lin Dao! Though they were small things, the sentiment was priceless!

Lin Zheng's other cousin, Lin He, asked curiously, "Brother, this isn't like you, is it?" Lin He waved the gift in his hand, a box of pastries. Everyone looked at their gifts, some were beautiful small ornaments, some were delicious pastries, and some were cosmetics.

Everyone looked at Lin Zheng with interest, and Lin Zheng was quite embarrassed. Under the pressure of the crowd, he finally admitted, "These are gifts from our Lin family's daughter-in-law for everyone!"

Lin Zheng's face turned red, and the crowd was stunned, this shock was no less than the collapse of the Heavenly Realm!

"Brother, I'm convinced, you really can't be judged by normal standards! When are you going to bring her for everyone to see?" Lin He asked.

"In a few days, I want to bring her to live in the village for a while, partly to get along with everyone, and partly to hope for guidance!" Lin Zheng said while tidying up the things!

"That's right, in this aspect, you've actually taken the lead, ha ha, you really have a knack for it!"

"Right, right, Brother, can you teach us a few tricks in the future?"

Everyone teased Lin Zheng, who could only smile helplessly, but he felt a deep sense of satisfaction! Later, Lin Zheng and the others talked about many things until night fell, and the elders called everyone to the hall, where they reluctantly went.

...

"Hey? Xuanxuan, Kongkong, Tiantian, where did you get these? I've never seen these things before?" As soon as everyone sat down, Auntie put down the last dish, sat next to Xuanxuan, and saw the small toys in the three children's hands, asking in surprise!

"Um, these are from the sister-in-law." Xuanxuan answered in a childish voice.

"Which sister-in-law?"

"Um, it's Brother Lin Zheng's wife, she gave them to us!" Kongkong added!

Instantly, all the elders' eyes focused on Lin Zheng's face, making him feel a bit uneasy!

"Good boy, counting the previous twelve years and the current three years, you're only fifteen, right? You've already found a wife? Tell us, tell us!"

Looking at the fiery eyes of the crowd, only the Seer showed a hint of a mysterious smile!

Lin Zheng had no choice but to recount everything in detail. When he talked about how he confessed, everyone's eyes widened, each one looking disbelieving. The matter was simple, and he finished telling it in a few words.

"Brother, you've known each other for three years, but you've only really communicated for less than a month?"

"Yes!"

"Brother, did you confess like that?"

"Yes!"

"Just 'Will you bear a child for me?' That's it?"

"Yes!"

Lin Zheng looked at the expressions of his brothers, finding them quite strange. He seemed to want to defend himself and said, "Actually, it's quite simple. You just ask directly. If it's possible, you stay together; if not, you find another way. After all, saying it won't kill anyone!"

"Wow!" Everyone was speechless, choked by Lin Zheng's words.

The elders, however, burst into laughter, even Grandpa Lin's eyebrows and beard trembled, and his hand holding the turtle shell shook uncontrollably!

"Alright, alright, everyone, stop asking. Once Little Zheng brings her over, everyone can get to know her gradually!" Lin Zheng's uncle, Lin Chu, said with a smile!

"However, Uncle, I think there are some things that are better not to tell her. I'll tell her selectively, but in daily life, there's no need to hide anything. I'll tell her bit by bit when the time is right!"

"Right, that's good. You need to understand that once the people of the Wilderness Continent learn of our existence, it will cause a huge upheaval. You need to handle it well!"

"Don't worry, it'll be fine!" At this moment, the Seer, who was playing with the turtle shell, suddenly said! Everyone nodded silently, always trusting this old man who was skilled in divination!

"Once the sister-in-law comes, she will be one of us. Why worry about her? You need to trust Brother Lin Zheng's judgment!" Xuanxuan suddenly said in a childish voice, already standing up for the sister-in-law who had given her gifts!

Everyone burst into laughter, the atmosphere becoming lively, "Let's eat, let's eat!"

The table was filled with home-cooked dishes, and Lin Zheng ate with great satisfaction. Everyone occasionally shared amusing stories, and the atmosphere remained high! Lin Zheng and the others kept toasting and planning for the future!

"The time should be set for one year from now. This period will be your training, and you should strive to improve yourself as much as possible. After one year, we will take action! Your cousins will accompany you on this continent to search for clues about your elder brother. We have many other things to do and may face danger. When the time comes, you must stick together and take care of each other! We will split up and then gather in the Central State! During this time, we will also do our best to build our own forces. The rest of the matters, you can handle on your own, and this period is temporarily set for three years!"

"Uncle, how will you find us then?"

"Did you forget about Grandpa Lin? Remember when you were a child, you always cheated by asking Grandpa Lin to find you in hide-and-seek!"

Everyone laughed, and Lin Zheng's face turned red again! They chatted until late at night before dispersing. Lin Zheng returned to the small house where he had stayed, which was unchanged from three years ago, not a speck of dust! It seemed someone was cleaning it regularly!

Lin Zheng felt a warm feeling in his heart, lay on the bed, and stared at the ceiling for a while before falling into a deep sleep!

The next morning, Lin Zheng woke up early and ran up the mountain without having breakfast, greeting people along the way, and inevitably being teased!

When he reached the village entrance, Lin Zheng met his sister, Lin Qin. He stopped and looked at the girl in front of him. In the rush yesterday, he hadn't had time to talk much with his sister. Lin Zheng smiled at Lin Qin, "Xiao Qin, I don't have time to go catch any spirit beasts with you today, and besides, they are just wilderness beasts!"

"Pah, I've grown up and am no longer the wild girl I used to be. Brother, I'm very ladylike now!" Lin Qin blinked and made a ladylike pose!

Lin Zheng laughed, the wild girl who used to follow him around was now a charming young lady, but the spark in her eyes showed that she was not a quiet one.

"Tell me, what do you want me to bring?"

"Hey? How did you know I wanted to bring something?"

"Come on, do you think I don't know you? Tell me, as long as it's in the sect, I'll bring it down for you!"

"Heh, Brother, bring me a瑶琴, the best one, or I'll cause a ruckus in the Wu Kong Sect!" Lin Qin said, then without waiting for Lin Zheng, she ran back to the village square to play with some children!

Lin Zheng continued up the mountain, thinking helplessly, such a mischievous girl actually likes the elegant and quiet瑶琴, sometimes it really feels strange, after all, Lin Qin's nickname at home used to be 'Little Demoness'!
