Oh, come on...

Lin Ke exclaimed excitedly.

Is this the Duchess?

She’s even smoother than the old-timers on Pink Street!

Seriously... is being this wild really okay?

But Lin Ke wasn’t that kind of person, so he remained gentlemanly and composed as he said to the Hurricane Duke’s wife, "Ma’am, I came here for another important matter. I’d like to meet with Lord Duke."

The Duchess didn’t get a chance to reply before the group of kids responded:

"Fight first!"

"That’s right, that’s right! Taste my skill!"

"It’s a tradition of the Duke’s family, fight first, talk later!"

The group of the Duke’s children started clamoring, looking as if they were about to swarm forward.

Lin Ke was shocked.

It’s not that he couldn’t fight them, but he was afraid of hurting these kids!

"Lord Lava, don’t be afraid! They can’t be killed!" the Duchess shouted again, laughing along with the other ladies, watching the show from the side.

Can’t be killed?

Are these people really their mothers?

Just then, the group of children ages three to twenty all surged forward.

"Doom Dusk!"

"Turbulent Slash!"

"Atmospheric Explosion!"

"100,000 Volts!"

...

The group shouted a chaotic jumble of attack names.

The names were scary, but the attack power...

Lin Ke raised a pressure shield, which immediately sounded with various impacts.

All bark, no bite.

Lin Ke relaxed.

There’s no way he’d actually fight; maybe if a fourteen-year-old Duke child came along, he’d take action.

But these brats? What a joke.

The Hurricane Duke’s family is really tough; not only are the kids unconventional, but even the ladies...

are pretty free-spirited.

The thing is, Revin, as the eldest of the Hurricane Duke’s family, has already become a legend.

Why haven’t the other children achieved anything?

Is it possible...

As Lin Ke was holding up the shield and pondering, two figures finally descended from the sky.

It was the Hurricane Duke and Revin!

Revin’s face was bruised and swollen, his handsome yet devilish features now looking like a pig’s head, and the wounds were fixed in place by a force of law as he was carried down by the Hurricane Duke.

The Hurricane Duke was a majestic figure, tall and spirited, with silver hair adding a touch of dignity.

What a Hurricane Duke Yasuo!

It seems Revin inherited his handsomeness from the Hurricane Duke, and the devilishness likely came from the Duchess just now. 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

"Greetings, Hurricane Duke. I am Lin Ke." Lin Ke immediately pounded his chest in salute.

The group of kids also stopped attacking, all shouting "Father" as they swarmed over.

But instead of hugging the Hurricane Duke as Lin Ke imagined, they were swinging fists, drawing swords, and even a little girl with a runny nose tried to smash something.

Then the Hurricane Duke’s body trembled, and the kids were immediately swept away by a gentle breeze emanating from his body.

"Gant Liang! These little brats!" Hurricane Duke Yasuo cursed, "Did you salute first? All you know is to sneak up like your damn mother!"

He said while tossing Revin like a dead dog to the side, then looked at Lin Ke, smiling as he pounded his chest, "Lord Lava, welcome to my home; these damn little brats need a beating. Do you want to beat the hell out of them to vent your anger?"

Lin Ke was dumbfounded.

This... this Hurricane Duke is so handsome, so why does he have to open his mouth?

"No need, no need, Lord Hurricane, I came here to discuss the matters of crossing the border..." Lin Ke quickly waved his hand, then hurriedly explained his purpose.

"Oh? You’re going to fight a damn war?" Yasuo raised an eyebrow and waved his hand, "Come, let’s talk inside." With that, he walked towards the mansion.

This was the City Lord’s Mansion.

Lin Ke immediately followed behind him, Revin also returned to his original handsome and devilish appearance, walking as if nothing had happened alongside Lin Ke.

"I told you, those little brats are the most annoying." Revin, face as usual, as if nothing had happened, "By the way, you saw my mother, didn’t you? Pretty, right?"

He smiled at the Duchess leading the group and said, "Mother!"

Lin Ke immediately had a strange expression.

"Revin!" The Duchess eyed Lin Ke playfully as she approached Revin warmly, "This time, stay longer, don’t listen to your father wandering around the world!"

Then Revin’s mother whispered in Revin’s ear, "Revin, is Lin Ke your new male companion? Let mommy borrow him for a few days?"

Lin Ke was aghast.

Why does he feel like he shouldn’t have come with Revin?

"No way!" Revin immediately refused.

Lin Ke felt somewhat relieved, knowing Revin was aware that Lin Ke had a wife, and since it was Revin’s mother, his rejection was normal. Phew.

But then Revin continued, "No way! I haven’t used him myself yet!"

Lin Ke was speechless, but thankfully they had arrived at the reception hall, which the butler was preparing.

The Hurricane Duke seemed oblivious to his wife and son’s conversation, inviting Lin Ke to sit down.

Lin Ke took the main seat beside the Hurricane Duke, while everyone else sat in secondary seats, even the Hurricane Duke’s children were not allowed to sit.

It was clear the Hurricane Duke valued these formalities.

After sitting down, everyone, including Revin and his mother, remained silent, leaving only the Hurricane Duke and Lin Ke to speak.

"Lava, you came to me to take on the damn Forest Hut?" the Hurricane Duke stroked his chin, "Have you submitted your war application?"

Lin Ke shook his head and explained his plan for a surprise attack.

"Oh, that’s damn fine, well, the teleportation array is no problem, but..." the Hurricane Duke pondered, "In the Elemental Forest, there are quite a few Kings of Magical Beasts connected to the Forest Hut."

"Kings of Magical Beasts?" Lin Ke narrowed his eyes.

Even the Lava Swamp had Kings of Magical Beasts, and they were turned into Lin Ke’s subordinates by the King skill of the Insomnia Emperor.

Originally, there was a time limit, they were only loyal to Lin Ke for fifty years.

But now, in the Lava Swamp, every King of Magical Beasts and even the common beasts were part of the Great Wilderness; they’d become trendy there.

Fifty years later there’s no talk of revolt, you probably couldn’t drive them away if you tried.

But in the grand scheme, the Lava Swamp is the smallest of several Magical Beast hubs.

Aside from the Ocean of Stars and Waves and other seas, the Elemental Forest is the largest gathering place for Magical Beasts!

Moreover, there are countless Kings of Magical Beasts within; no one knows how many are hidden or how many are pets or partners of other factions.

The forces within the Elemental Forest are too intertwined!

The Forest Hut is located not far from the Elemental Forest, so they are likely connected.

From the looks of it, perhaps the number of legendary figures in Great Wilderness City might not be enough for this clash.

"Furthermore, you also have to beware of one person..."

"Elemental Duke Karma!"
