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

She didn't want Lin Ran to get hurt, so she decided to let her handle the dangerous situation herself.

"What if I say no?"

Lin Ran took a step closer, bringing the two of them very close, and said in a firm voice.

"I will still see you off!" Shangguan Mengqing said calmly.

“Then I will take action against you!” Lin Ran retorted.

"You can't beat me!"

How will you know if you don't try?

After saying that, Lin Ran suddenly attacked like a tiger. Before Shangguan Mengqing could react at all, Lin Ran snatched her away.

Lin Ran led Shangguan Mengqing smoothly through the deep blue light barrier on the steps and headed towards the high platform above. A voice floated lightly to Fan Hua and Wen Qianyi's ears.

"I'll go and have a good talk with Shangguan Mengqing. Sister Fanhua, Qianyi, please wait a moment!"

"Humph!"

Wen Qianyi let out a soft snort upon hearing this, kicked away the small pebbles at her feet, and muttered under her breath, "Let's discuss it. Otherwise, the two of you won't end up sticking together and unable to separate later!"

Fan Hua, standing to the side, couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh, teasingly asking, "Why don't you join in too?"

"I don't want it!"

Wen Qianyi crossed her arms and said angrily, "I'm not going to talk to that jerk anymore. I'll teach him a lesson."

"That's too lenient a lesson for you. How about we give him a good beating?" Fan Hua urged.

"I can't beat him, can I? And if he gets hurt, I'll have to heal him!" Wen Qianyi said worriedly.

"What can we do?" Fan Hua couldn't help but ask.

"Then should I refrain from talking to my senior for a while longer?"

Fan Hua: "..."

I'm afraid that once your senior comes down, you'll forget what you said as soon as you turn around.

Chapter 179 The Two Finally Together

Shangguan Mengqing offered no resistance, and was pulled to Lin Ran's right side. A hint of mockery flickered in her clear, cold eyes as she looked at the lotus platform not far away and couldn't help but say, "You brought me here, you wouldn't happen to have some ulterior motive, would you?"

Lin Ran's heart was immediately stirred by Shangguan Mengqing's lighthearted words, and she glanced at the lotus platform a few more times, as if those past scenes were playing in her mind.

"What are you still looking at? Put me down!" Shangguan Mengqing shouted.

"Okay, I'll release it right away!"

Lin Ran put Shangguan Mengqing down, scratched his head, glanced at the lotus platform again, and said, "I can help you. I'm at least a ninth-level Nirvana Realm cultivator, and I cultivate the Azure Emperor's technique, which can definitely help you deal with Feng Lian. Sending me away like this is really unfair..."

He got stuck again, thinking of talking about feelings, but feelings seemed too distant. But what if he talked about something more intimate...?

“But you can’t beat me!” Shangguan Mengqing suddenly said.

"Why can't I beat them..."

Before Lin Ran could finish speaking, she felt herself being slammed by a powerful force, landing perfectly on the lotus platform. However, Lin Ran was stuck in a "spread-eagle" position, firmly restrained on the lotus platform.

Shangguan Mengqing squatted down next to Lin Ran, looking at Lin Ran's current state. She couldn't help but reach out her jade-like finger and gently lift Lin Ran's chin, saying with a smile in her eyes, "Is this what you meant by being able to beat them?"

Lin Ran: "..."

Good heavens, he suddenly didn't want to resist anymore. Shangguan Mengqing's appearance was really tempting to him!

Okay, let's just offer a token resistance.

Lin Ran tried to move, and immediately felt a powerful force binding him tightly. With the slightest movement, he could see dark blue runes moving on his wrist, exuding a mysterious and unpredictable aura.

"You've actually mastered the power of the 'Tao'?!"

Lin Ran was quite surprised. This was the first time he had seen Shangguan Mengqing use such power. He suddenly felt envious. His Nine Heavens Azure Dragon Technique was only missing this one activation condition. But could he really comprehend the power of the 'Dao'? Perhaps he could comprehend the 'Dao of Lust and Sin,' but he probably couldn't possibly comprehend the others properly.

"Yes, I've known it for a long time!"

Shangguan Mengqing teased, "Looks like you really want it. Isn't it pretty simple? You can do it in a second!"

Lin Ran: "..."

It really is Versailles. If this kind of thing were easy to learn, he would have activated the Nine Heavens Azure Dragon Technique long ago. He's seen a lot of these kinds of things, so how come he hasn't learned anything? Is this the difference between people?

Shangguan Mengqing stared at Lin Ran for a while, until Lin Ran felt her scalp tingling, before she finally spoke, "Don't you have anything you want to say to me?"

What I want to say…

Lin Ran had so much to say, but he was always afraid of being rejected. He was terrified of being rejected, but since things had already gone this far, he wanted to be brave enough to express his true feelings. What could he do? Did he have three conditions?

Lin Ran felt she was incredibly clever and quickly called out, "Could you let go of me for a second? I need to get something!"

Shangguan Mengqing seemed to have thought of something, nodded, and gently snapped her fingers. The restraints on half of Lin Ran's body were released. Lin Ran hurriedly searched for his spatial ring. The more he searched, the more anxious he became. Finally, he found an exquisite jade bracelet with a small character "Qing" engraved on the inside.

"Remember this?"

Lin Ran held up the jade bracelet, hoping Shangguan Mengqing would remember it. Shangguan Mengqing glanced at the bracelet; it was one she had worn for many years, so how could she not remember it? But she wanted to tease Lin Ran on purpose: "I have a vague impression, not much. It shouldn't be mine, right?"

"How could it not be yours? Look, there's even the character '卿' (qing) here!"

Lin Ran explained anxiously, even pointing to the words in the inner circle. If he hadn't been carrying a magnifying glass, he would have pulled it out immediately.

"That should be mine... What's wrong?"

Shangguan Mengqing pretended that she had just remembered and said in a very calm tone.

Lin Ran felt that this couldn't go on, so she quickly started telling Shangguan Mengqing a story, insisting on explaining the whole story.

"Oh~"

Shangguan Mengqing drawled out her words, then continued, "So what do you want me to do? You only have three chances. If what you ask is unreasonable, I'll consider it an automatic disqualification!"

"It's definitely reasonable, and you can absolutely do it!" Lin Ran shouted decisively.

"Okay, I understand. Now, just say it, I'm listening!" Shangguan Mengqing lazily rested her chin on her hand, slightly concealing the faint pink blush rising on her neck.

Lin Ran let out a long sigh of relief. He looked at Shangguan Mengqing with a solemn expression. Even though his posture was a bit strange, he held up the bracelet and shouted with all his might, "I want you to be with me, okay?"

Lin Ran's voice echoed in the hall, and after shouting, he felt all his strength drain away. He lay quietly on the ground, his head turned to the side, not daring to look at Shangguan Mengqing. He was afraid to face defeat...

Shangguan Mengqing's smile deepened, finally transforming into a breathtakingly beautiful smile, like a fleeting glimpse of a night-blooming cereus. She laughed and said, "Aren't we together now?"

"no the same!"

Lin Ran said excitedly, "When I say we're together, I mean you have to be my woman, my woman, Lin Ran's woman!"

After he finished speaking, Lin Ran's gaze was drawn to Shangguan Mengqing's smile. He had almost never seen Mengqing smile before, and this was the first time.

"Your smile is so beautiful!" Lin Ran said dreamily.

Shangguan Mengqing stood up, put her hands behind her back, took a few steps, and suddenly leaned down to look at Lin Ran and said, "You still owe me a favor, and I need to use it too!"

"But you haven't agreed to what I said..." Lin Ran said anxiously, but Shangguan Mengqing gently pressed her slender finger to Lin Ran's lips and said softly, "Let me finish, okay?"

Lin Ran nodded obediently. Since there was no rush, he said, "My rules are the same as yours. As long as it's within my power, I will do my best to do it."

“Then this matter might be a bit difficult for you. Are you confident?” Shangguan Mengqing said.

"I would go through fire and water without hesitation!"

"The slogans are certainly catchy..."

Shangguan Mengqing tilted her head back and let out a soft sigh of relief. Clearly, what she was about to say was a great test for her. She was not good at expressing her emotions, but some things had to be said, right?

What I want to say…

Shangguan Mengqing gently brushed a strand of hair behind her ear, and a hint of alluring pink seemed to creep up her fair earlobes. Her voice was clear and melodious, like jade beads, and the moment she spoke, it seemed to fall into Lin Ran's heart, rippling outwards...

"I can promise to be with you, but you must promise me that... no matter what happens in the future, we will stay together until death..."

"So...you agree?" Shangguan Mengqing's eyes looked at Lin Ran, those deep eyes overflowing with affection that seemed to entwine Lin Ran's heart like soft silk...

"I promise, I will put this promise into practice!"

Without any hesitation, Lin Ran felt like a bastard if she hesitated at a time like this.

"You pass!"

As Shangguan Mengqing released the restrictions on Lin Ran and felt them lifted, Lin Ran couldn't help but pounce on her like a hungry wolf. However, Shangguan Mengqing skillfully dodged her. Seeing Lin Ran fall to the ground, she said, "You just agreed, and you're already trying to touch me? This isn't how you describe love!"

“But we’re not…” Lin Ran got up from the ground and said with a pitiful look like a child, “You’ll be going back to Zhongzhou then, and I won’t be able to go to Zhongzhou for a while. Won’t that mean a long-distance relationship?”

Shangguan Mengqing was used to Lin Ran always coming out with some strange new words, but she really didn't expect that when the two broke down the barriers, this guy suddenly became bold, even though he had just been terrified and timid not long ago.

“We also have this, so we can talk to each other often!” Shangguan Mengqing said, pointing to the phoenix bracelet on her wrist.

“It’s different!” Lin Ran leaned close to Shangguan Mengqing and said shamelessly, “Should we reenact what happened that day?”

Shangguan Mengqing suddenly turned her head and looked coldly at Lin Ran, saying, "Should I kick you?"

"where?"

bump!

Lin Ran was sent flying, but as she hit the wall, she was caught by a gentle, deep blue energy and slowly brought down to the ground.

Shangguan Mengqing didn't look at Lin Ran, but her exposed neck was faintly pink. She calmly said, "Let's deal with Feng Lian first. After we've dealt with Feng Lian, I'll give you a surprise!"

"What is it?" Lin Ran pressed.

"If I told you what it was, would it still be a surprise?" Shangguan Mengqing rolled her eyes at Lin Ran and couldn't help but say.

"Then I'll be really looking forward to it!" Lin Ran said with a smile.

He felt incredibly refreshed. This was the Sword Sect Fairy, one of his favorite characters in the original story. He never imagined she would become his woman. It was truly a testament to the mystery of fate. If it weren't for their chance encounter at the Azure Spirit Sword Saint's legacy ruins, they might have remained parallel lines that never intersected, never crossing paths.

……

Many people in the city had already left impatiently, but a considerable number remained. However, this large number of people were all emitting a deep blue light and were forcibly taken away by a strong spatial force.

When many people opened their eyes again, they were all bewildered to find themselves back near the entrance to the secret realm.

"How the hell did I suddenly get forcibly sent out of the secret realm? I didn't get any benefits from this trip, and I even lost a bunch of pills, damn it!"

These words immediately touched the hearts of many, and the grief, indignation, and helplessness in their hearts could only be expressed with that classic interjection…
