A passing traveler through the heavens

Chapter 149 Family Hero

After eating and drinking his fill, Ji Lin started the incredibly cool Ferrari in the yard, and with the roar of the engine, it sped out of the house like a red lightning bolt.

At this moment, the night sky is dotted with stars, and the streetlights on both sides of the street emit a dim yellow light, immersing the whole city in a peaceful and tranquil atmosphere.

Xinghai and Huan'er obediently stayed home to look after the house, while Ji Lin enjoyed this rare moment of freedom on his own.

The streets were sparsely populated at night, with only a few people hurrying by. Ji Lin drove his car slowly, enjoying the night view along the way.

As the car approached a traffic light intersection, Ji Lin suddenly saw several vehicles speeding past in front of him.

These cars were moving at an astonishing speed, as if they were trying to break free from the shackles of the night.

Upon seeing this scene, Ji Lin couldn't help but feel a surge of interest. He smiled confidently, a slight upturn to his lips.

With one hand supporting his chin and the other skillfully maneuvering the steering wheel, Ji Lin slammed on the accelerator, and the Ferrari surged forward like a wild horse.

In the blink of an eye, he easily caught up with the cars and rode alongside one of the lead cars.

Ji Lin turned his head and looked through the car window at the driver of the car next to him, but that one glance made him burst out laughing.

Seemingly sensing Ji Lin's mockery, the driver immediately gave Ji Lin a provocative look.

Immediately afterwards, he accelerated sharply, no longer walking alongside Ji Lin, but quickly overtaking Ji Lin.

Faced with his opponent's provocation, Ji Lin naturally would not back down. With a thought, he quietly covered the car with the power of the rabbit talisman.

In an instant, the Ferrari's speed increased dramatically, shooting off like a rocket. In just a moment, Ji Lin successfully overtook all the vehicles.

After several smooth turns, Ji Lin brought the car to a steady stop on the side of the road.

He pushed open the car door, got out, and felt the cool night breeze caress his face.

Ji Lin was in a particularly good mood at this moment. This little racing competition not only relieved his stress but also added a unique kind of fun.

Ji Lin leaned against the car, a cigarette dangling from his mouth. He lit it slowly, took a deep drag, and then exhaled a puff of smoke.

Not long after, the roar of engines came from afar, and then several cool sports cars drove up to Ji Lin and came to a steady stop.

From the lead car, a burly man with a shiny bald head stepped out and strode toward Ji Lin, each step carrying an invisible sense of oppression.

The bald, burly man stopped in front of Ji Lin, grinned, revealing a set of white teeth, and said, "Brother, where are you from? I saw you speeding by in your car just now, your skills were truly amazing!"

"My name is Dominic, but my friends call me Boss Tang."

Ji Lin looked the bald, burly man who introduced himself up. Although he looked young, he already exuded an extraordinary aura and had the potential to become a chivalrous family man in the future.

Ji Lin smiled slightly, casually tossed aside the nearly burnt-out cigarette butt in his hand, then reached out to shake hands with the other person, introducing himself as follows: "Nice to meet you, Boss Tang! My name is Ji Lin, and I haven't been here in the US for very long."

"I had nothing to do tonight, so I drove out for a stroll."

Tang Laoda shook Ji Lin's hand warmly, gave it a good shake, and said with a laugh, "Haha, so that's how it is. Since we've met by chance, why don't you come to my turf and we can have a good chat?"

Faced with Tang Laoda's warm invitation, Ji Lin smiled and politely declined, saying, "Thank you for your kindness, Brother Tang, but it's too late today. I will definitely visit you another day when I have time."

Despite being rejected, Tang Laoda didn't seem to mind at all. He patted Ji Lin on the shoulder and said generously, "Okay, it's settled then! When we have the chance in the future, let's have a good race between us."

A hint of excitement flashed in Ji Lin's eyes, and he nodded without hesitation, replying, "No problem, Boss Tang, I'm ready anytime!"

After saying goodbye to Boss Tang, Ji Lin got into the car in a good mood, started the engine, and with the roar of the engine, the car sped away like an arrow.

On his way home, Ji Lin reminisced about his encounter and conversation with Boss Tang, humming a little tune as he immersed himself in the happy atmosphere. After all, it was quite nice to be friends with Family Hero.

Xinghai and Huan'er watched Ji Lin, who was smiling broadly and walking briskly into their home, and a sense of curiosity welled up in their hearts.

The two exchanged a glance, then asked in unison, "Ji Lin, you seem so happy, what happened?"

Upon hearing this, Ji Lin revealed a mysterious smile and deliberately kept everyone in suspense: "Hehe, it's really nothing big. I just made a new friend."

After saying that, he walked towards his room without looking back.

Seeing this, Xinghai and Huan'er exchanged a glance. Although they still had doubts, they did not ask any more questions.

In the days that followed, Ji Lin became a recluse, spending all his time at home, devoting himself entirely to the cultivation of the Merit Cultivation Method.

Amazingly, in just one month, Ji Lin had mastered all the contents of the Merit Cultivation Method to perfection!

However, simply mastering the theory is far from enough. The real key lies in how to apply what you have learned to actual combat and achieve a thorough understanding.

After careful consideration, Ji Lin decided to hold a grand party to celebrate his milestone achievement and asked Xinghai and Huan'er to book a bar and decorate for the party. Xinghai and Huan'er did as he was told.

Ji Lin then stepped out of the room and began his visit.

His first stop on this trip was Max's house next door. It had been quite some time since Ji Lin had last seen Max.

Thinking of this, Ji Lin felt a surge of urgency. He quickened his pace and soon arrived at the door of the next room. He raised his hand and gently knocked on the door.

As the knocking sounded, the door slowly opened, but the person standing in the doorway was not Max, whom Ji Lin had hoped to see.

Standing before me was a tall, beautiful blonde woman.

Ji Lin was slightly taken aback, but quickly recovered and put on a friendly smile, saying first, "Hi, hello! My name is Ji Lin, and I'm here to see Max."

The blonde beauty smiled and replied, "Oh, hi! I'm Max's roommate, my name is Caroline."

After saying that, she turned around and shouted into the house, "Max, someone's looking for you!"

A moment later, a sleepy-eyed figure slowly walked out of the bedroom.

Max had messy hair and was wearing loose pajamas, looking as if he had just been woken up from a sweet dream.

She yawned and muttered something, seemingly quite annoyed by the sudden interruption.

However, the moment Max stepped out of the bedroom, her gaze met Ji Lin's, and in an instant, the incessant complaining stopped abruptly, and the entire room seemed to fall into a brief silence.

Seeing this, Ji Lin politely greeted Max, "Hi, Max." His tone was natural and friendly, trying to break the slightly awkward atmosphere.

Max snapped out of her daze, rolled her eyes at Ji Lin, and then silently walked to the sofa, sat down, and picked up a cushion to hug.

Caroline keenly sensed the slightly awkward atmosphere in the air. She smiled cleverly and said softly, "Then you two talk first, I have some things to do."

After saying that, she quickly turned and left the living room, went into Max's bedroom, and gently closed the door. But just as she closed the door, she carefully pressed her ear against it and began to eavesdrop on Ji Lin and Max's conversation.
