Divorce Only Makes a Son-in-Law Stronger

Chapter 307 301: Lei Family Patriarch

At this moment, at the back of the island to the north.

An isolated cliff holds a lone Slave Fighting Platform suspended at its top.

And seated cross-legged on the platform is an imposing elderly man.

The wild sea breeze caught his head full of gray-white hair, making it dance like madness.

Suddenly, he opened his bright eyes, and a glimmer of sharpness flashed deep within.

Crack!

With a jolt of his toes, the elder instantly sprang from the ground.

Like a great bird, he gently leapt down, landing steadily on the mountain path below the cliff.

His name is Lei Xiaohai, one of the martial arts legends renowned for years, worshiped by countless martial artists as the pinnacle supreme.

He has guarded this exclusive platform of the Slave Fighting King for a whole seven years now.

And during these seven years, every single challenger ended up smashed to pieces, thrown off the cliff to become fish food in the sea!

It can be said, Lei Xiaohai is the main peak of the entire island.

With him holding the fort, no one dares to shake Prison Island!

"Granduncle, I, Lei Zhenyu, have come to pay homage."

On the mountain path, a group of nobly dressed individuals waited respectfully.

The leader was a very handsome young man, with a faint touch of rebelliousness between his brows.

But abruptly upon seeing Lei Xiaohai leap down from the sky.

The young man who called himself Lei Zhenyu immediately adjusted his attire and, with utmost respect, knelt on one knee at the elder's feet.

"You must be Ling Feng's son, why hasn't your father come to see me this year?"

Lei Xiaohai raised his hand slightly, unleashing a boundless invisible Qi Force.

Instantly, Lei Zhenyu stood up involuntarily, with even more admiration on his face.

"Granduncle, my father is entangled in mundane affairs, troubled by domestic unrest, and cannot leave, so he ordered me to come instead to present offerings to you."

Lei Zhenyu explained with a smile, clapping his hands towards his entourage.

In an instant, the accompanying people carried over gifts, all of which were placed before Lei Xiaohai.

The man before him was indeed the pillar of the Southern Ocean Country.

Moreover, he was immensely respected by the royal family as the ancestral patriarch.

Years ago, during the military conflict in the Southern Ocean Country, the people were destitute, attempting to overthrow the rule of the Lei Royal Family.

In the hour of crisis, Lei Xiaohai, who had been in seclusion for ten years, stepped forward.

In one night, he obliterated the warlords besieging the city, killing so many that corpses were strewn everywhere, and the moat water remained blood-red for months!

Since then, the Lei Family's ruling status in the Southern Ocean Country became unbreakable.

And Lei Xiaohai himself was revered as a deity by the Lei Family.

Every year, vast sums were spent collecting exotic flowers and rare herbs for him to break through to higher martial arts realms.

"These mundane items need not be sent anymore, they no longer have much effect on my cultivation."

Lei Xiaohai glanced at the box containing items such as the Hundred-year-old Wild Ginseng, and shook his head expressionlessly.

"I guard this place for the Heartless Pill of the Holy Poison Sect, as long as this medication is successfully developed, it can strengthen my martial obsession and fully enter the God Realm."

Boom!

The elder, in high spirits, suddenly raised his hand and slapped towards the sky.

In an instant, a transparent azure Thunder Dragon a foot long burst forth from his palm, ferociously roaring towards the heavens.

Then it exploded like thunder on dry land!

This shocking scene was nothing less than the awe of heavenly power.

Startling Lei Zhenyu and others, their pupils vibrated violently, their bodies trembling.

Amongst them, the timid ones wet their pants on the spot, scared to tears!

"It seems Granduncle has broken through again, truly worthy of celebration, with your protection, who in the world dares provoke the Lei Royal Family?"

Lei Zhenyu calmed himself, swiftly leading everyone to kneel and heap praises.

"Even if martial arts are trained to the utmost, so what?"

Lei Xiaohai frowned and shook his head, looking towards the distant horizon where the sun rose above the sea.

"I'm getting old, my end is near, I can't protect the Lei Family much longer, you young people must strive to do better on your own."

"Yes, Granduncle is absolutely right, I will never forget your words."

Lei Zhenyu, as excited as a shot of adrenaline, nodded furiously, his face flushed with joy.

He patted the dust off his knees, stood up with a smile, and waved to have the entourage retreat.

"Granduncle, I came this time with a small matter, seeking your help."

"Speak freely."

Lei Xiaohai turned his head slightly, speaking indifferently.

"While studying abroad, I fell for a girl, only later did I know she was Adele, the eldest princess of Sha Country."

Lei Zhenyu beamed, his voice taking on a fawning tone.

"I wanted my father to propose to the Sha Country Royal Family, but then turmoil erupted there, and Adele went missing."

"Later, I found out she was captured by the Holy Poison Sect, held on this island... Sha Country is wealthy, with endless oil and gas resources, if the two countries were to marry, it would be immensely beneficial to both the Lei Family and the Southern Ocean Country!"

Upon hearing this, Lei Xiaohai showed some emotion, finally turning to look at Lei Zhenyu.

"You want me to ask the Holy Poison Sect to release her?"

"No, no, just releasing her, Adele might not agree to marry me... hehe, I think it would be better to seize this opportunity and make a done deal."

A hint of desire flashed in Lei Zhenyu's eyes, he kneeled once more before Lei Xiaohai.

"Please, Granduncle, fulfill my wish, let me have the chance to expand the Lei Royal Family!"

Indeed, he knew Adele while studying abroad.

It's not that he didn't know the other person's identity, but rather that he approached deliberately with other motives.

Who would have thought, they were already aware of Lei Zhenyu's reputation as a playboy, switching girlfriends as casually as eating and drinking.

So she politely declined Lei Zhenyu's several dinner invitations, thereby cutting off contact completely.

This left Lei Zhenyu quite unwilling, feeling immensely humiliated by the other party.

Originally he thought he had no chance of getting Adele.

But heaven opened its eyes, causing internal problems in Sha Country.

Even the noble Adele was forced into exile and eventually captured by the Holy Poison Sect!

"Alright, considering you are thinking of the interests of the Lei Family and the entire Southern Ocean Country, I will bend the rules and help you."

Lei Xiaohai nodded and took out an Iron Token from his waist, tossing it to Lei Zhenyu.

"This is the Slave Fighting Card; with this token, you can move freely on the island, second only to the Island Master."

"You don't need anyone's permission, just use the token to release people from the dungeon, at your disposal."

Upon hearing this, Lei Zhenyu's eyes gleamed with joy, his face ecstatic!

It couldn't be better.

If he hadn't deliberately created an incident to keep his father tied up at home,

he wouldn't have had the chance to come here and capture the high and mighty Adele!

Once he gets her, he can do whatever he wants, can't he?

"Thank you, granduncle, your great kindness and virtue will be remembered by the Lei Royal Family forever!"

Lei Zhenyu knelt and knocked his head heavily on the ground, then cheerfully left with the Iron Token.

Completely unaware that the token will soon bring him fatal disaster.

...

"Young Master, did I act well just now?"

After leaving the Slave Fighting Platform disheartened, Shi Potian wiped the blood stain from the corner of his mouth and walked proudly beside Lin Fan.

The match continued, but Lin Fan couldn't face staying any longer.

Avoiding getting cursed by the audience again.

"You at least have Qi Condensation; can one punch from me kill you?"

Lin Fan frowned, glaring coldly at Shi Potian.

This guy looks honest but is full of tricks underneath.

It's no wonder he seems so ordinary, yet manages to become the Right Protector of the Human Tower.

"Young Master, old Feng told us, you are at least in the Mystic Realm, who the hell dares take a punch from you?"

Shi Potian looked aggrieved, pointed at his chest.

"I have elderly and children to care for; I can't risk dying young!"

"You've already got a face full of wrinkles, still calling it youthful, youthful my ass."

Lin Fan almost laughed out of anger, shook his head, and didn't bother pursuing it further.

Remembering what grandmaster said last night, he turned towards Xue He's chamber.

"Young Master, go get Xue He that woman, and make our Human Tower brothers proud!"

Shi Potian, full of envy, shouted standing in place.

Before Lin Fan, stumbling unexpectedly, could turn back to respond, Shi Potian already disappeared quickly.

"Damn, do they really take me for a gigolo selling my body?"

Lin Fan retracted his gaze with a dark face, planning to settle scores with Shi Potian later.

A moment later, under the envious eyes of several chamber guards, Lin Fan directly found Xue He in the middle of a lazy grooming.

"Oh, brother is eager to find me; have you decided to break through?"

Hearing the movement, Xue He turned around, revealing her freshly-made exquisite makeup.

She looked quite joyful, seemingly not having been this happy for a while.

Even the wide moon-white robe she wore was replaced by a tight-fitting white cheong-sam.

The whole person appeared both dignified and alluring, exuding femininity.

"Ahem, I want to borrow your Jade Token again, to find Doctor Lin."

Lin Fan took the Jade Brush, calmly grooming Xue He's long shoulder hair.

"The old man is wise and knowledgeable, maybe he can enhance my needle technique to satisfy you more..."

While speaking, Lin Fan purposely moved close to Xue He's slender, fair neck, sniffing lightly.

No choice, being human is difficult; being a lecher is relatively simple.

Anyway, taking the initiative can't go wrong...

"Hehe, brother, you're quite considerate of sister me, aren't you?"

Xue He chuckled, glanced at Lin Fan with narrowed eyes, casually handing over the Jade Token.

"Take it; if you encounter Iguchi Tama, that rotten woman, just say I'm the one who sent you."

"Thank you, I'll study hard and won't disappoint your expectations."

Lin Fan paused, somewhat unexpectedly by Xue He's openness.

He swallowed a belly of nonsense, took the Jade Token, and turned to leave.

"What a peculiar person; he'd rather rush to an old wreck instead of staying in a lady's chamber... quite interesting."

Xue He arched her red lips at the dressing mirror, recalling last night's absurdities, couldn't help but laugh and shake her head.

Anyway, there are still several days until the formal handover as Island Master.

No matter what Lin Fan intends, it's off her shoulders.

Even if a big mess arises, Iguchi Tama is the one unlucky!

Thinking of this, Xue He's mood improved, humming softly, continuing to groom at the mirror.
