My father is the main character, but the female leads want to kill me.

"boom!"

A loud explosion suddenly rang out, and everyone in the courtyard stood up and looked towards the city gate not far away.

At this moment, a gap had been blasted open on the right side of the city gate, where it connected to the mountain. One after another, ferocious monsters with scarlet eyes leaped onto the city wall with astonishing jumping power, opened their gleaming white fangs and their ferocious mouths, and bit at the people guarding the city nearby. In an instant, chaos broke out on the city wall.

"Quickly plug that gap!"

"Don't panic, don't panic! Attack quickly and blast those monsters away!"

"Why the hell are you running? The city walls haven't fallen yet!"

Amidst the rising and falling noises, Lin Chong was somewhat dumbfounded. He hadn't expected that a breach would appear in the city wall so soon after the garrison was relieved.

Ye Wanxi, who was standing to the side, was also stunned. They were just talking, but the city gate broke down the next second.

"It seems the defense is even worse than I thought..." Ye Wanxi said tactfully.

"We need to make plans for what's to come..." Lin Chong sighed, gathered his men, and quickly began to plan their next move.

……

In the land of inheritance, in the large pool inside the side hall, the originally dazzling deep blue light gradually receded into Lin Ran's body.

"Roar!"

A loud dragon roar, with extremely strong penetrating power, actually pierced through the deep blue barrier and came out directly.

Wen Qianyi, who was chatting with Fan Hua, suddenly stood up and looked into the deep blue barrier. A powerful wave shattered the deep blue barrier.

A golden figure burst forth from the deep blue pool and came to a steady stop in the air.

That figure was none other than Lin Ran. At this moment, Lin Ran's entire body was shining with golden light, which condensed on her skin, forming a faint membrane similar to scales.

Lin Ran excitedly waved his fist. He looked at his body and felt the surging power within his flesh. His body was much stronger than before. He had never specifically cultivated his physical body, so it was actually quite weak. But now, Lin Ran's body gave him the feeling that he might be able to directly clash with demonic beasts with his physical strength.

"Could this be the true power of the Nine Heavens Azure Dragon Technique?" Lin Ran wondered.

The main reason was that he suddenly remembered what he had mentioned to Fan Hua before. Fan Hua might have told Jing Yue, and Jing Yue had used a special method to help him activate the Nine Heavens Azure Dragon Technique.

"As expected of the Azure Emperor's technique!"

Lin Ran's mouth was practically splitting open with a grin. He was already imagining what he would be like when he cultivated the Nine Heavens Azure Dragon Technique to its peak, transforming into a gigantic golden dragon, ruthlessly controlling the power of heaven and earth, and becoming a great emperor...

Isn't it a beautiful daydream?

……

Chapter 174 Wen Qianyi's Self-Confession

After calming down his excitement, Lin Ran noticed that Wen Qianyi and Fan Hua were in the main hall, while he was standing naked in mid-air, grinning foolishly for a long time. Feeling a little embarrassed, he quickly put on some clothes.

Lin Ran then approached Wen Qianyi and couldn't help but ask, "Qianyi, how long have I been here? Where is Senior Jingyue? I have to thank her for activating my cultivation technique."

When Wen Qianyi met Lin Ran's gaze, her pretty face turned red, and she couldn't help but turn her head away, not daring to meet Lin Ran's eyes. Her mind was full of the image of her senior's figure in mid-air just now.

This was the first time Wen Qianyi had seen Lin Ran's entire body so clearly, and for a young woman like her, it was far too stimulating.

Fan Hua, standing to the side, covered her mouth and chuckled, saying, "Lin Ran, don't be so happy yet. Your cultivation technique hasn't been activated yet. Although you've refined the Azure Dragon Qi, you still need to comprehend the power of the Dao to truly activate the Nine Heavens Azure Dragon Technique."

Fan Hua's words caused Lin Ran's smile to freeze instantly. He looked at Fan Hua awkwardly and said, "The power of the Dao, Senior Jingyue, are you really not joking?"

Lin Ran was quite self-aware. He had some understanding of the power of the Dao from the original work, and the Dao he comprehended to activate the Nine Heavens Azure Dragon Technique was definitely not something simple. How could he comprehend it?

Fan Hua found Lin Ran's expression quite interesting and couldn't help but say, "Jing Yue wouldn't joke about something like this. Besides, you should thank Qian Yi for the Azure Dragon Qi. Without Qian Yi, you wouldn't have been able to use the Azure Dragon Qi."

Upon hearing this, Lin Ran excitedly grabbed Wen Qianyi's shoulders and said, "As expected, Qianyi, you are my lucky star! Even though the cultivation technique is not fully activated yet, you were able to get such a precious thing as Azure Dragon Qi. Continue to support me, you little rich girl!"

Having followed Lin Ran for so long, Wen Qianyi immediately understood the meaning behind Lin Ran's words. Her face turned so red it seemed like steam could rise from it. She felt she couldn't continue to hide it like this. She mustered her courage and looked at Lin Ran, stammering, "Senior, I...I...have something to tell you..."

"I...I am actually a member of the Azure Dragon Clan. Senior Jingyue told me this, and that's how I found out."

I once had dark blue scales on my body, which made many people despise me. I always thought I was a hybrid, born from the union of a snake-man and a human woman, and I never dared to tell anyone else…”

Although Wen Qianyi spoke haltingly, she eventually confided the secret she had kept hidden in her heart for so long to Lin Ran. This was a treatment that even her sister Wen Bixuan had never received, which also showed that Lin Ran occupied an extremely important place in her heart.

Lin Ran listened quietly to Wen Qianyi as she spoke. He was clearly surprised that this gentle and kind girl had such painful memories.

"So…"

Wen Qianyi looked at Lin Ran with red eyes and asked tremblingly, "Senior, will you dislike me? If I become ugly in the future, will you still... will you still like Qianyi?"

"Uncle, if I get old, lose all my teeth, and have gray hair, will you still like me? Will you dislike me?" Lin Ran couldn't help but ask.

“Of course I wouldn’t!” Wen Qianyi replied immediately.

She secretly added in her mind, "That way, my senior will be mine alone, right?"

Lin Ran couldn't help but reach out and pinch Wen Qianyi's snow-white cheek, teasingly saying, "You don't mind me being an old man, so what if I mind your Azure Dragon clan? Besides, if you could really become an Azure Dragon, that would be quite interesting. I've never seen an Azure Dragon before!"

"This is different now!" Wen Qian said coquettishly.

This made Lin Ran burst into laughter: "Hahahaha..."

Fan Hua, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but feel happy. But soon she received a urging voice from Jing Yue. Fan Hua looked at Lin Ran and Wen Qianyi and said, "You two can stay here or wait in the central hall. Jing Yue called me to say something."

"Okay, Sister Fanhua, you go ahead and get busy!" Lin Ran nodded, but then added, "If you have any news about Shangguan Mengqing, Sister Fanhua, you should let me know."

"Aren't you afraid Qianyi will hit you for saying that in front of her?" Fan Hua teased.

Lin Ran glanced at Wen Qianyi beside her, puffed out her chest, and said defiantly, "How dare she hit me? I'll show her the might of the men of Kyushu later!"

When Wen Qianyi heard Lin Ran's words, she didn't embarrass Lin Ran in front of Fan Hua. After Fan Hua left the passageway, she heard a noisy commotion behind her.

"You senior just like to get carried away. I'll beat you up, I'll beat you up!"

"Then I'll fight back!"

"What are you going to do... Ah... Waaah..."

Even a seasoned expert like Fan Hua blushed with embarrassment upon hearing the voice, quickening her pace and muttering under her breath, "How indecent! How indecent!"

Fan Hua returned to the central hall, then passed through the deep blue barrier and hurried up the stairs. Only when she reached the top did she discover that there was actually a grand hall at the very top.

In the center of the main hall was an exquisite and luxurious pool, filled with a rich aroma of herbs and a bright green liquid. In the center of the pool was a lotus platform, and in the center of the platform, a figure seemed to be lying in a deep blue sphere of light.

Jingyue stood by the pool with a furrowed brow and a worried expression. When she saw Fanhua approaching, she couldn't help but ask, "Has Lin Ran come out yet?"

"It came out, and when it came out, its body was faintly shimmering with golden light, like dragon scales..." Fan Hua truthfully told Jing Yue about these things.

After hearing this, Jingyue nodded and said, "Then this child is not bad. At least he has mastered the Azure Dragon Skin cultivation. I thought he hadn't even reached that stage yet..."

"At least Lin Ran has had some luck; her aptitude isn't that bad..."

Fan Hua replied, then looked towards the center of the pool and asked curiously, "Did something go wrong with Meng Qing's inheritance? Why did you call me over in such a hurry?"

"I don't know if this counts as a problem..."

Jingyue rubbed her temples, turned her gaze to the lotus platform in the center of the pool, and slowly said, "Shangguan Mengqing performed very well in the previous trials, but in the final illusionary trial, especially in the Mirror Moon Space that I specially created, she encountered obstacles... and not just any obstacles..."

"Obstacles?"

Upon hearing Jingyue's words, Fanhua, remembering Jingyue's specialty, the Mirror Moon Space, widened her eyes and asked, "Could she have gotten lost in the Mirror Moon Space... and fallen into a state similar to demonic possession?"

"Roughly the same…"

Jingyue nodded and continued, "Currently, there are only vague signs of this, and we'll have to see how she performs. But if she can't get through the Mirror Moon Space, how will she refine the Mirror Moon Sacred Flame?"

Jingyue was very annoyed. Why were so many strange things happening?

.....

Chapter 175 Unexpected Events and Crisis

Next, Jingyue kept a close eye on Shangguan Mengqing's situation. Fortunately, the worst-case scenario did not occur. Shangguan Mengqing eventually broke through the Jingyue space and passed the final test here.

"Whoo~"

Jingyue breathed a long sigh of relief, looking at Fanhua beside her with a hint of joy, a relieved smile on her face: "The inheritance has finally reached the final step..."

Fan Hua nodded, but she couldn't be happy either, because she knew that after this old friend helped Shangguan Mengqing take the last step, he would disappear completely from the sky.

On the lotus platform in the center of the main hall, the surface of the deep blue sphere of light rippled.

First to appear are tiny, delicate feet, small enough to be grasped in one hand, translucent and radiating a warm, jade-like luster. As your gaze rises, you see a long, straight leg, as white as snow...

When the figure finally emerged from the sphere of light, her stunningly beautiful, aloof face exuded a chilling aura, captivating all who beheld her as if she had stepped out of a painting, her exquisite beauty akin to that of a work of art.

Looking at this beautiful woman, who was actually attracted to the man who was more than ten years older than her, Jingyue was puzzled: "Does the Azure Emperor's cultivation technique come with its own charm? How can he bewitch these outstanding girls?"

Jingyue had the same questions as Fanhua, but she seemed to have forgotten that she was also one of those who were infatuated with Qingdi back then.

"Hello, Sister Fanhua... Is this... Senior Jingyue?" Shangguan Mengqing reacted quickly.

"Hello Mengqing, I am indeed Jingyue."

Jingyue nodded, and seeing Shangguan Mengqing looking around, she continued, "Lin Ran and Wen Qianyi are both fine. Fan Hua asked me to help Lin Ran activate the Nine Heavens Azure Dragon Technique, and I did. The only remaining activation condition is comprehension of the Dao, which is up to him."

"The Tao...comprehension?"

A strange glint flashed in Shangguan Mengqing's eyes. She lowered her head in deep thought, vaguely recalling some techniques from the ancient secret art of the Sword Sect, the Taixu Shangqing Technique…

"Meng Qing!"

Jingyue let out a soft exclamation, bringing Shangguan Mengqing back to her senses, and then continued, "First of all, Mengqing, congratulations on passing the test I set. Next, I will pass on the inheritance to you. Are you ready?"

"I'm ready!"

Without much hesitation, Shangguan Mengqing agreed. Outside, the monster tide was still resisting. For the sake of the Sword Sect disciples and for Lin Ran's child to survive, Shangguan Mengqing had to accept the inheritance as soon as possible.

Jingyue nodded and explained to Shangguan Mengqing, "There are some things I need to tell you in advance. Your elixir is almost broken, and I have to destroy it. This will have a very serious backlash on you."

"I see!"

Shangguan Mengqing nodded. She knew that her elixir was ruined and there was no other way but to start over. Normally, even if she tried to start over, the strong backlash would prevent her from ever condensing another elixir again. But perhaps Jingyue had a way to solve this problem.

As expected, Jingyue smiled and said, "Don't be afraid of the backlash affecting your foundation. I have a way to solve it. It's just that the pain of the backlash is something that ordinary people can't withstand."

"After I destroy your elixir and rebuild your foundation, I will transfer all the cultivation techniques and martial arts I have practiced, including all my life's experience and insights, to you..."

Jingyue explained in great detail, emphasizing the need to ensure that there would be no mistakes during the transmission process.

After speaking for a long time, Jingyue had explained everything and then looked at Fanhua beside her. A deep blue beam of energy shot into Fanhua's body, and she said, "I am entrusting you with control of the Inheritance Land. Protect this place well..."
