Perfect World: I Am Eternal

Chapter 343: The Desire to Survive

“The Blood Demon Clan does not belong to my realm; they come from the other side of the world,” Xu Chengdao explained.

Lin Fan and Qingyang the Celestial God were surprised. Not long ago, they had dreamt of returning to the Immortal Ancient Era and witnessed some major events.

They knew all too well how powerful the beings of that realm were, far more terrifying than the rumors described, and that the previous era had been destroyed by them.

I never expected that in this era, there would still be alien beings remaining in my world. If we let them develop, it will be very bad.

“According to the elders of the clan, they caused endless bloodshed in the ancient times. They are an extremely difficult race to deal with. They live by sucking the essence of all living beings and have an extremely strong reproductive ability…” Lan Xin explained.

Clearly, the Longevity Clan knows many secrets, befitting its status as a clan that has existed since the Immortal Era.

Then, they revealed a piece of news: at the end of the Immortal Ancient Era, a great figure from our realm once killed the Blood Demon Clan's ancestor here.

"It seems there are remnants left behind, and they haven't been completely eliminated," Lin Fan murmured.

In fact, such things are not uncommon in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths. For example, the Void Beast is a descendant of another realm.

However, most of them have been assimilated by the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, and their bloodlines are no longer so pure. They can also be considered a new species in our world.

"By the way, didn't the Changsheng family send a powerhouse above the Heavenly God level? Why are you two still being chased?"

Lin Fan's curiosity made it hard not to overthink things.

"When the underground palace first opened, immortal bones appeared, and the elders all rushed to fight for them. We were a step behind and followed behind, but when we got here, we were all lost in the mist and couldn't get out."

Lin Fan pondered, and realized that was indeed the case. No wonder no expert had appeared to save Feng Xinglie when he faced a life-or-death crisis.

Upon learning all this, he began to scrutinize the two of them, a meaningful smile playing on his lips.

"Brother Emperor... why are you looking at us like that?" Xu Chengdao and Lan Xin felt a chill run down their spines from the stare.

"I never save people for free. What are you going to give me in return?" Lin Fan's eyes gleamed with cunning.

You have to understand, these two were so desperate to survive that one was planning to sell his sister and the other was planning to sell his older sister, and they were really serious about it.

Xu Chengdao and Lan Xin were dumbfounded. Was it really that direct?

However, they were also relieved, as Lin Fan did not mention the matter of marrying off his sister or elder sister.

After all, those were things they said in a moment of desperation; they couldn't possibly have the ability to do it, nor were they qualified to make that decision, otherwise they would have been beaten to death when they got back.

"Brother Emperor, please feel free to tell me what kind of gift you would like to express your gratitude."

"That's right. Since you saved us, we are not ungrateful people. We will definitely make you satisfied."

Both assured that they came from an ancient family of immortals, were always wealthy and powerful, and had no shortage of precious techniques and resources.

"Really? That's good." Lin Fan smiled strangely and said, "I reckon your lives are worth about seven or eight divine herbs."

"What?! Seven or eight divine herbs? Do you think they're cabbages? You wouldn't even get this much for the two of us!"

Xu Chengdao and Lan Xin were shocked; the other party was truly asking for an exorbitant amount.

It should be understood that even divine medicines are extremely rare and precious, and not many of the great longevity families possess them.

Whether it's the Xu family or the Lan family, handing over seven or eight divine herbs at once would be tantamount to taking their lives.

Therefore, even if they held prominent positions in their respective clans, it was impossible for them to offer so many plants as a form of exchange for their descendants.

"Brother Emperor, please change your request. We are truly not worth seven or eight divine herbs," said the young master of the Xu family earnestly.

“Precious techniques and scriptures are acceptable, but they must not be inferior to immortal techniques,” Lin Fan said.

Upon hearing this, Xu Chengdao and Lan Xin were completely petrified.

Immortal arts are the ancestral forbidden techniques of the great immortal families, and one of the important reasons for their strength and transcendence. They must not be revealed to outsiders.

If anyone dares to spread this information to outsiders, they will become a sinner of the clan and be hunted down by the entire clan. "Heh... Brother Dao, please change your condition. Immortal arts are not for those who are not of our clan, so you can learn a supreme technique instead," Lan Xin said.

Lin Fan's expression changed slightly, and he said unhappily, "This won't work, that won't work, it seems your lives aren't worth much..."

"Fuck!"

The next moment, the sound of nails being ground came from the Emperor's Banner, like a demonic sound, which startled the two of them.

"Ugh, I feel like I've gone from one wolf's den to another. This guy doesn't seem like a good person either," Lan Xin whispered, feeling uneasy.

Xu Chengdao's eyelids twitched, and his heart raced with panic. When he looked at the banner, his eyes glazed over, and he almost lost consciousness.

In a daze, the two saw mountains of corpses and seas of blood, with endless gods wailing and demons roaring, a sight that sent chills down their spines.

"I feel like I've seen that long banner somewhere before," Xu Chengdao muttered.

"What time is it? You still have time to care about this!" Lan Xin said, displeased.

The next moment, Lin Fan raised an eyebrow and chuckled strangely, "Hehehe, have you two thought it through? Are you going to trade your possessions for your lives, or should I send you to feed the Blood Demon...?"

"Ah...no! We can talk this over. How about I give you my sister Lanxian as your wife?"

"Brother-in-law!"

Lan Xin's eyes shone like stars, brimming with tears, making her look pitiful, like the little sister next door.

For a moment, Lin Fan felt ashamed, as if he were bullying a child.

After all, she was the youngest among them, looking about sixteen or seventeen years old, petite and charming.

"Be serious. What are you doing, a god, acting all young and inexperienced?" Lin Fan remained unmoved.

"No, I'm actually only at the Divine Fire Realm. It's the armor I'm wearing that has made my realm jump two major levels," Lan Xin explained.

With a hiss, she removed her azure armor, her divine aura vanished, and she instantly descended to the Divine Fire Realm.

"There's such a treasure armor?!" Lin Fan exclaimed in surprise, his eyes burning as he immediately fixed his gaze on the treasure.

He was thinking that if he wore it, wouldn't his strength be comparable to that of a Void Dao expert, and he could even go toe-to-toe with a sect leader-level powerhouse?
Lan Xin shrank her neck and hugged the armor tightly like a mother hen protecting her chicks, saying, "It's useless to you. At most, it can only raise a person's realm to the level of a Celestial God."

Upon hearing this, Lin Fan lost interest. He was currently in the Sacred Sacrifice Domain, and even if he wore it, it wouldn't improve his abilities much.

So he turned to Xu Cheng and asked, "Brother Xu, what do you plan to do to repay my life-saving grace?"

“Brother-in-law, just like her, I’m introducing my most beautiful sister, Yaoyue, to you as your Daoist partner.”

Xu Chengdao immediately declared that, in this life-or-death situation, he would resolutely choose to sell his sister without hesitation.

Princess Yaoyue: Thank you so much, my dear brother!
However, Lin Fan wasn't buying it and retorted, "Do you think I'm stupid? You're not the leaders of the clan, how can you decide your sister's and younger sister's life-changing events!"

"The eldest brother is like a father!"

"A younger sister is like a mother!"

Xu Chengdao and Lan Xin spoke in unison.

Lin Fan: "..."

At this moment, he was truly speechless. "The eldest brother is like a father" was somewhat plausible, but "the younger sister is like a mother"? What kind of nonsense is that?

"Pfft!"

Beside them, even the Heavenly God Qingyang couldn't help but burst out laughing. These two were just too funny, their survival instincts were off the charts.

However, Lin Fan had no intention of letting the two off so easily. He smiled wickedly and said, "Words are no proof. Let's draw up a written agreement."
