Radiant Era - Chapter 77

Chapter 77 Terrifying Lily

"My God!" When Aunt Lily angrily waved the terrifyingly huge Wolf Teeth Club, Enzo was so jealous his eyes became bloodshot.

The thick Wolf Teeth Club that was almost as tall as a person teared the air while making an ear-piercing whistling sound. When Aunt Lily furiously poured her qi into the Wolf Teeth Club, scarlet flame simultaneously spurted out of the nearly one hundred spikes that was as thick as a middle finger and as long as a thumb on the surface of the Wolf Teeth Club as countless sparks also sprayed from its surface. A layer of dull flame as thick as ten centimeters wrapped around the Wolf Teeth Club. From a distance of dozens of meters, Enzo could still feel its terrifyingly high temperature.

That was a magical weapon! An extremely rare magical weapon!

After gathering the most precious magical metals and magical gems of matching attributes, the outline of the weapon was forged with great-master-level workmanship. An inscription pattern great master would then engrave a corresponding magical formation on the surface of the semi finished product before a great master magician pour magic into it. Finally, three great masters would join hands in refining the weapon, sealing the magical formation, and stabilizing the magic before activating the weapon with the magic core of a magical beast with a corresponding attribute. Only through this process could a magical weapon be forged.

At his age, this was still Enzo's first time seeing a genuine magical weapon!

Furthermore, it was a magical weapon of fire attribute. Fire attribute magic was always known as having the most powerful destructive power, especially ones that were capable of group attack were even more so the most outstanding among magic of other attributes. Not to mention the value of the Wolf Teeth Club, the value of a magical weapon could never be measured with gold coins. If a Heaven Knight equipped the Wolf Teeth Club, he alone could thoroughly suppress three Heaven Knights of the same rank, he could even kill more than two enemies of the same rank or even challenge a Heaven Knight of a higher rank.

If Aunt Lily was a Heaven Knight, then she could totally wear the set of Fury of the Bear Race armor and carry the Wolf Teeth Club to leisurely stroll around Victory Palace in the imperial capital. She could strut in and say hello to the sleeping emperor in Victory Palace, then effortlessly walk out before the army in the imperial capital could assemble.

The ordinary guardian corp of the imperial Victory Palace absolutely couldn't resist a terrifying woman wearing Fury of the Bear Race armor and weilding an enormous magical weapon who also possessed boundless brute force!

"My God! If Aunt Lily joined the army, then she would definitely be conferred with a general rank at once! Even her luxurious equipments were absolutely priceless!" With his right hand on his stomach, Enzo wholeheartedly expressed his supreme admiration and jealousy of Aunt Lily's outfit.

Lin Qi shrugged his shoulders. He coughed once and shouted to Aunt Lily who already sank into the brink of madness, "Dear Aunt Lily, I have returned! I'm fine, I'm really fine!"

"God, various lovely Gods, you finally deliver my young master Lin Qi home safe and sound!" Aunt Lily looked at Lin Qi with wild joy and effortlessly threw the huge Wolf Teeth Club in her hand. The Wolf Teeth Club spun for more than 20 meters, making all the servants in the vicinity cover their heads and flee with incomparable speed. No one dared to clash with the terrifying murder weapon.

In the entire ancestral residence, only Aunt Lily had the kind of brute force to weild the Wolf Teeth Club, not even Blackbeard had the strength. Not even her husband, Tie Chui, who was just kicked flying like a ball by her, had the power.

"Damned old woman!" Tie Chui covered his waist with his hand while cursing in anger.

Aunt Lily didn't react to Tie Chui's curse. She rushed forward with steps as heavy as a mountain and threw herself at Lin Qi, hugging him tightly in her bosom. "Oh, my young master Lin Qi, nothing must happen to you. I promised the Lady that I will look after you! Oh, heavens, why is your complexion so pale? What is this smell from your body?"

Aunt Lily's eyes suddenly turned red. She grabbed Lin Qi's collar and firmly teared his clothes with a ripping sound. Lin Qi was laid bare in front of several hundred male and female servants of the ancestral residence. Cold wind whistled past as Lin Qi used both of his hands to cover his lower body. He stood there in front of the entrance to the ancestral residence with a red face.

Wounds densely covered his whole body, although Blade Wound Medicine was already applied on them, although they were covered with bandages, blood still seeped on the bandages. Terrifying killing intent spread out from Aunt Lily's body. She slowly turned her head to look at the pale-faced Baltic and asked word by word, "Who injured my Lin Qi? Baltic, you damned bastard, tell your Big Sister Lily, who injured young master Lin Qi?"

Baltic, who possesed Heaven-ranked strength, controlled thousands sailors, workers, ruffians, gangsters and other men from Dunerk Harbor Area, and had extremely high authority in Black Tiger Family, bowed with flattery and respecfully said with a smile, "My most respectable older sister, considering the identity of our mother who died early, if I said I don't know who injured young master Lin Qi…"

Aunt Lily rushed up to Baltic like a gale. Her speed was so fast that Baltic couldn't clearly see how she rushed up to him. Aunt Lily strongly punched Baltic's face. Four thick and sharp awls suddenly appeared and stabbed deeply into Baltic's face, nearly ruining his appearance.

Baltic didn't even have a chance to groan before he was sent flying. Fortunately he circulate his qi in time to protect his body so his teeth weren't destroyed by Aunt Lily.

Aunt Lily roared, "Then, I'll just represent our mother to teach you a lesson! You, a grand Heaven Knight, actually can't protect young master Lin Qi. You trash, incompetent insect, you can only bring a group of small **1 to bully good and cowardly commoners, a soft egg that not even your wife can manage. I will break your legs!"

Baltic cast a pleading gaze at Tie Chui who was laying on the ground pretending to be dead, but Tie Chui closed his eyes tightly. He even held his breath to show that he fainted from Aunt Lily's kick earlier.

Baltic sullenly looked at Lin Qi, but Lin Qi stiffly covered his lower body while standing in front of the door. His slightly-fat body was shivering in the cold wind while his mind was blank. He was seen naked, he was seen naked by so many servants and subordinates. It didn't matter if they were all male, but there were also so many girls and aunts here!

If Lin Qi was still fifteen or sixteen years old, it didn't matter if he was seen naked, but dear various gods above, Lin Qi already passed his eighteenth birthday, he was already an adult! Yet, he was seen naked in front of the door to his own ancestral residence.

The several hundred people were intimidated by Aunt Lily's terrifying killing intent, no one dared to make a sound.

Lin Qi blinked. He finally found the best way to pass this crisis. He rolled his eyes, weakly groaned, then fainted just like one of those young mistresses.

Chapter 78 Medicinal Bath, Healing

In a certain stone room in Lin Qi's ancestral residence, there was a huge brass bathtub with raging flames burning under it. The bathtub was big enough for seven to eight people bathing at the same time, but currently only Lin Qi and Enzo were soaking naked in the black thick medicinal liquid.

The medicinal liquid was bubbling due to the heat. Lin Qi and Enzo recoiled in the medicinal liquid like two fish, enduring the high temperature and medicinal strength. At the seme time, they were operating their Qi Tempering Secret Art with gritted teeth, pushing their bodies to absorb the quite-strong medicine. Only their faces were outside the medicinal liquid while the rest of their bodies were soaked inside. Their faces had turned reddish-purple and steam was continuously puffing out of their mouths for as far as several meters.

Blackbeard, with a huge bruise on his face and a cut on his mouth, resentfully stood next to the huge brass bathtub while personally adding firewood to the fire under the bathtub. While busily adding the firewood, the softly cursed, "Crazy old woman, that old woman, che! I give my own son a few cuts, why does she have to be so angry? Lin Qi is my son, can't I give him a few cuts?"

Hissing in pain, Blackbeard shook his head and said, "This old woman, hss! How can she grow more powerful by the day? Che, This guy, Tie Chui, can't even manage his own woman, trash! Hss, even I was hit? This crazy woman, really, can no one control her?"

Although being boiled inside the medicinal liquid, Lin Qi and Enzo still simultaneously started to laugh out loud.

After Aunt Lily found out from Baltic's mouth that it was Blackbeard who personally caused all the wounds on Lin Qi's body, she was maddened again on the spot and grabbed Blackbeard who just returned home to give him a violent beating. Blackbeard, who was already at the peak of middle stage Heaven Knight and could enter late stage Heaven Knight anytime, was badly beaten by the maddened Aunt Lily in front of hundreds of servants and subordinates without any strength to retaliate.

Enzo personally witnessed Aunt Lily grabbed Blackbeard and repeatedly punched him on the ground. She even crazily trampled Blackbeard's belly. Who knew what extraordinary materials Blackbeard's body were made of that he could escape from the hands of the berkserk Aunt Lily.

Tie Chui, Tu Dao, Baltic, the three early stage Heaven Knight experts, in addition to Blackbeard himself, simply couldn't stop the berkserk Aunt Lily. In the end Tie Chui even used the iron chain that was always stored within his sleeve to tie Aunt Lily, yet the result was that the iron chain that was forged from dozens of special metal was broken by Aunt Lily using brute force!

Afterwards, the ashen-faced Blackbeard took the initiative to apologize and swear to heal Lin Qi's wounds using the fastest speed possible, then only Aunt Lily reluctantly stop. As a result, Blacbeard became how he is right now, with a huge bruise on his face and a big cut on his mouth. As for his body, no one dared to take off Blackbeard's clothes to check his injuries, so no one knew how bad he was beaten by Aunt Lily.

Coughing drily, Blackbeard coldly snorted and said, "Laughed enough? Then I'm adding more medicine! This is a good stuff from the East, even I'm reluctant use it, this time you guys benefit a lot!"

Laughing strangely, Blackbeard happily said, "It's good that you guys have so many wounds on your bodies, the result of absorbing the medicinal strength through your wounds in way faster that absorbing it directly with your skin. A benefit to you two boys, cultivate diligently, this is really a benefit to you guys!"

Without waiting for Lin Qi and Enzo's rejection, Blackbeard already seriously grabbed a 30 centimeter square medicine package on a square table at one corner of the room and threw some strange medicinal herbs like tree roots and grass leaves into the bathtub.

The smell of medicine emitted from the bathtub became stronger by several fold. The originally black medicinal liquid suddenly turned into a strange purplish-black while the steam floating from the bubbles also turned light-purple. The temperature of the entire bathtub suddenly rose, burning Lin Qi and Enzo that they screamed miserably, yet their whole body felt weak and couldn't budge no matter what.

Black Tiger Family truly deserved to be called a millenium-old noble family, a big family that, in the legends, was passed down from the Destruction Age until today, making its warehouse very rich. Blackbeard found several bottles of high-quality medicine that were robbed who knew when from the warehouse. They could completely heal Lin Qi and Enzo's injuries within one day.

If this was it, then fine, but Blackbeard also found a batch of medicine with unusual applications from a corner of the warehouse. This batch came from the East, it was said that it was an exotic medicine that was good for practicing qi and strengthening the body. Blackbeard vaguely remembered that this batch of medicine was robbed dozens of years ago, a treasure robbed from a cargo ship belonging to the royal family of a certain country on the West Continent.

The medicinal herb should be purchased in the East with a huge sum of money by that country's royal family, but after being robbed by the Black Tiger Family, Blackbeard threw it into the warehouse and never used it. Because Blackbeard's own strength was already powerful enough, it wasn't worthwhile for him to use this thing. In the end, after so many years, he had forgotten about it.

Now by chance, it was used by Lin Qi and Enzo, so while the two were soaking in the bathtub, those several bottles of medicine that could quickly heal them were still in Blackbeard's pocket without being used - because just like Blackbeard said, this was like giving a fish several cuts to make let the taste be absorbed easier while steaming it, it just so happened that Lin Qi and Enzo's wounds could let the medicinal strength be absorbed better and faster.

The strong medicine was stabbing into their wounds like countless small knives, penetrating into their internal organs. They howled miserably. It was so painful that their bodies were twitching, yet their bones were filled with the medicine, making them simply unable to jump out of this terrifying bathtub.

Countless hot substance-like steam disorderly flew around within Lin Qi and Enzo's bodies, quickly circulating within their meridians according to their respective Qi Tempering Secret Art. Their qi was quickly strengthened and their muscles and bones also part by part became stronger.

Truly deserve to be the treasure secretly bought by a country's royal family, the medicinal bath this time benefitted Lin Qi and Enzo greatly.

Gradually, Lin Qi's face started to glow with faint yellow light.

Enzo howled miserably with widened eyes. His face glowed with a rich layer of orange light, seemingly almost turning yellow. Looking at the yellow light on Lin Qi's face, Enzo knew what it implied, with the help of the medicinal strength, Lin Qi actually broke through to early stage Earth Knight. He also could sense that quite a few of his blocked meridians had already been opened by the medicine. As long as he exerted a little effort, he could also reach the same stage as Lin Qi.

Enzo coughed out a mouthful of black blood. A huge amount of black impurities simultaneously seeped out of the pores all over his body. He took a deep breath and circulated his qi while enduring the pain. The rich orange light on his face finally turned into light yellow.

Blacbeard quickly added more firewood into the fire while nodding repeatedly with a cigar in his mouth.

"Good boys, both are good boys! Breaking through to Earth rank at this age, not bad, not bad!"

Snorting complacently, Blackbeard laughed softly.

"Although still not as good as your old man, but barely good enough!"

Chapter 79 To the Sea, Whale-hunting

After soaking in the bathtub for one day and one night, Lin Qi and Enzo had absorbed all of the medicinal strength of the purplish-black medicinal liquid and it finally turned light-red. The terrifying treatment finally ended. Lin Qi and Enzo pathetically crawled out of the bathtub and their bodies were strongly scrubbed with the help of some servants.

After washing away the pungent smell of the medicinal liquid and cleaning the layer of black filth as thick as a pig's skin on their bodies, the clean Lin Qi and Enzo drank the medicine given by Blackbeard in one gulp.

Originally, when they were soaking in the medicinal liquid, the terrifying wounds on their bodies were already eighty to ninety percent healed. Now, after drinking the good-quality medicine, their wounds burned and the remaining little injuries were completely healed without leaving behind even a scar.

After changing into new clothes, Lin Qi comfortably sat on the balcony on the highest floor of the ancestral residence.

Similar to Green Rose Hotel, a greenhouse made of huge pieces of glass from Vias Business Union was built on the balcony of Lin Qi's ancestral residence. Naturally, there was nothing planted here, there were only a round table and several stools arranged simply.

While sitting here, one could see the distant mountains through the glass. Especially in the southwest direction, there was a several-kilometer-long and hundreds-meter-tall cliff. The white cliff towered among the mountains like a city wall, appearing very spectacular.

Blackbeard who just took a bath sat next to the round table. The bruise on his face already disappeared without a trace. It seemed the power of a Heaven Knight was indeed miraculous. Holding a cup of tea and drinking a mouthful of it, Blackbeard leaned on the chair with satisfaction, chuckled and said, "The situation now is very good, the reputation of you two young heroes already spread widely in Dunerk, this kind of situation is very good, the Mayor position is now secured."

Enzo sat upright at one side. He was feeling his body's sudden increase in power. He broke through from red qi all the way to the yellow realm, an increase of two stages. He still temporarily couldn't control this new strength, not only his qi, his muscles and bones were also strengthened a lot. He roughly estimated, without using qi, his pure strength probably increased by one fold.

That medicine was truly very effective, double physical strength, damn it, if he was training on his own, how many years of hard training were needed to gain this kind of increase in power? Furthermore, Enzo could sense that many blocked meridians in his body that needed abundant qi to open were already opened by the medicinal strength. His future qi cultivation would certainly have rapid progress, leaving his peers far behind.

Undoubtedly, that medicine should be purchased with huge money from the East by a certain country's royal family, to be used to nurture the family's elite descendants. Unfortunately, the convoy they dispatched weren't valiant enough to actually be taken huge advantage of by Blackbeard.

Clenching his fist tightly, Enzo looked at Blackbeard with both respect and gratefulness.

Blackbeard smiled at Enzo while nodding. He also had a very good opinion on Enzo. Brave and valiant, yet couldn't be bothered about small things, for Lin Qi to have a friend like this, he felt very reassured. After all, he, Tie Chui, and  the others could grow old so Lin Qi undoubtedly needed his own batch of brothers by his side.

The family could provide Lin Qi with many outstanding youngsters, but Lin Qi needed to bring new blood into the family. Only with the continuous addition of newcomers into the family could they truly grow. By secluding themselves, it would only made the family age gradually and ultimately be destroyed.

Lin Qi raised his tea and drank a mouthful. He coughed softly and said, "Since the Mayor position is now secured, then, dear Father, those two girls!"

Blackbeard wrinkled his brows. He stood up and said, "Aha, I remember, those two damned girls! I will personally lead a group to kill them! Oh, don't worry, son, I will clear up your mess, I will handle you matter properly, trust your honest father!"

Blackbeard wanted to leave the greenhouse, but Lin Qi suddenly jumped and grabbed Blackbeard's belt. He firmly stared at Blackbeard and shouted with gritted teeth, "Dear Father, do I care about those two girls' fate? Their golden notes, their gems, their many expensive stuff! I want eighty percent!"

Blackbeard's face suddenly darkened. He gritted his teeth and said, "Forty percent maximum, look, your old man dispatched so many people!"

Lin Qi bellowed, "May Mother climb out at midnight to choke you greedy man to death, you gave me so many cuts, seventy percent!"

Blackbeard angrily roared, "You unfilial son, you think you can disturb your mother just for a little bit of money? Oh, fifty percent, no more!"

Lin Qi suddenly raised his voice and howled at the top of his voice, "Aunt Lily, dear Aunt Lily!"

Blackbeard heaved a long sigh. He sullenly looked at Lin Qi and with no other choice, said, "sixty percent, look, can't you see your old man have to go through a lot of trouble? Also, so many brothers were dispatched, won't you give them a little pocket money?"

Enzo was shocked by their haggling. He blankly looked at this pair of highly unreliable father and son with his mouth open and not able to close for a while. Lin Qi and Blackbeard smiled at each other, strongly bumped their fists against each other's, and shouted loudly, "Then, deal!"

After concluding the share of booty, Blackbeard who wanted to personally lead a group to kill Ya and Ling a moment ago returned to his seat in a very natural manner. He put his legs up, drank big mouthfuls of tea, and said with a smile, "Then, you and Enzo go out for several days, go play at sea for several days. Oh, I will tell the rest of the world that your injuries are too serious so you are recuperating in a small villa in the mountains, the air there is good."

Raising his brows, Blackbeard smiled and said, "The more serious your injuries are, the more benefits and recognition your old man can gain, after all, people are all sympathetic by nature! Unfortunately you are my son, otherwise if you two died from courageously fighting robbers, your old man could probably directly run for Province Magistrate!"

Lin Qi and Enzo's faces simultaneously darkened. Unfortunately they were absolutely not Blackbeard's match, otherwise they would certainly joined hands to give him a beating.

Coughing indignantly, Lin Qi rubbed his nose, coldly snorted, and said, "They, I'll spend several days at sea, I don't want to hide in here without being able to go out the door, even worse, I don't want to go to those 'villas' of yours in the mountain and stay together with that group of bastards. They will lead a good and honest person like me astray."

'The good and honest Lin Qi'? Enzo suddenly shivered!

Blackbeard laughed heartily. He strongly waved his hand and said, "Then, it is decided. The Big Maritime Windmill is setting out at noon today, this is a good season to hunt Single-horned Wild Whale. You go to the sea for half a month, when you return, it will be just in time for us to celebrate the New Year together!"

Enzo's scalp turned numb, going out to the sea in this damned season?

Thinking of the terrifyingly huge waves and icebergs of the North Sea, Enzo felt his legs go soft!

Damn it, Enzo was an outstanding student of the Army Academy - in other words, Enzo couldn't swim!
