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

"Is Feng Lian pretty? Does she have a good figure?"

Shangguan Mengqing suddenly asked this question.

Lin Ran followed Shangguan Mengqing's words and naturally expressed her thoughts: "I must say, she's quite beautiful, and her figure is also very hot. There are such powerful figures in the Void Evil Clan. At first, I thought I would have to grit my teeth and face an ugly monster."

Lin Ran was initially prepared to die a martyr's death, determined to survive. But Feng Lian's true form was unexpectedly beautiful, and he felt both psychologically and physically relieved.

Although Feng Lian is a member of the Void Evil Clan, his beauty is an objective fact, and he is a person with normal aesthetic sense. Although races differ, beauty can transcend these boundaries and be accepted and appreciated by more people.

Suppressing the urge to punch this guy, Shangguan Mengqing continued, "How did you come up with such a method?"

"This was only after Fan Hua mentioned Gemoto..."

Lin Ran, worried that Shangguan Mengqing might not know who Jemodo was, explained further: "Jemodo is the Void Fiend I killed when I was in grave danger last time. It also possessed the ability to be immortal, and I only managed to kill it after finding its true form. So I was thinking..."

Lin Ran continued her narration, unaware that Shangguan Mengqing already knew everything. However, she did not interrupt, but listened quietly to Lin Ran's words, occasionally interjecting with a few connecting questions, acting as a good listener.

She knew that Lin Ran's words were vague, that there were obvious logical problems in some parts, and that she was deliberately being ambiguous, but she didn't press her for details, just as she didn't press Lin Ran for why she was so certain that Feng Lian would do such a crazy and outrageous thing.

Everyone has their secrets. Shangguan Mengqing had one, and so did Lin Ran. Just like when Lin Ran first met her, she tentatively asked if she was Shangguan Mengqing. How could a small clan leader from a small place know her name?

These were all very strange and suspicious things, but Shangguan Mengqing did not choose to expose them. She hoped that Lin Ran would tell her these secrets in the future, rather than her discovering them herself.

These two are not the same in nature.

He talked for a long time, and it seemed that he had also excited Lin Ran. Since it was a dream, he thought he should tell Shangguan Mengqing all the things he had never said before.

People say that alcohol emboldens the timid, and in Lin Ran's view, being trapped in a dream also brought out his hidden arrogance.

"Mengqing, do you know who my wife is?" Lin Ran asked cheekily, leaning close to Shangguan Mengqing's face.

Shangguan Mengqing once again suppressed the urge to use her right hand, and followed Lin Ran's words, saying, "I don't know, can you tell me?"

"Hey, let me tell you something, don't be scared out of your wits!" Lin Ran became arrogant and said, "My wife is the Holy Maiden of the Spirit Clan, how about that, am I amazing!"

A strange light flashed in Shangguan Mengqing's eyes, but she said calmly, "Are you bragging?"

"I'm not bragging. My cultivation technique was given to me by my wife. She was seriously injured during the Great Battle of the Azure Emperor's Inheritance, and I was the one who saved her," Lin Ran said.

"Then you shameless bastard, you tricked her out of her body, her heart, her cultivation technique, and even tricked her into having your child, right?" Shangguan Mengqing, like a Zhuge Liang from another world, was incredibly insightful and accurately predicted Lin Ran's subsequent actions.

Lin Ran chuckled, scratched her face sheepishly, and tried to correct him, saying, "What lie? We were mutually in love!"

"Mutual affection my foot! Don't I know you're a scoundrel?"

Shangguan Mengqing thought to herself, after Lin Ran said that, she suddenly wanted to meet this Holy Maiden of the Spirit Clan. The two of them would definitely have a lot in common. Apart from not being tricked into having a child, she had been tricked in almost everything else. As for having a child... maybe she would be tricked in the future.

Then Lin Ran spoke of something rather sad: what Mu Qiqin might face after returning to the Spirit Clan.

After listening, Shangguan Mengqing couldn't help but ask, "So you're working so hard to cultivate just to find your wife?"

"And you too!"

Lin Ran said very frankly, "You are all my motivation. I know your strength will definitely catch up with mine in the future, and I have to keep up with your pace. Otherwise, I will be left behind, and I also need to become stronger to go to the Spirit Clan to find Qiqin..."

"You're dreaming! If you want to enjoy the blessings of multiple wives, why don't you become the emperor? You'll have three thousand beauties in your harem, and you can choose any of them every day!" Shangguan Mengqing said casually, a faint blush rising on her fair neck.

"Forget about being emperor, I can't handle that. You all are enough..."

Lin Ran tried to pull Shangguan Mengqing into his arms, but Shangguan Mengqing nimbly dodged him. When Lin Ran turned around, he was greeted by a wave of icy seawater.

"Wow!"

Lin Ran couldn't help but exclaim in surprise. He was instantly soaked to the bone, and the icy seawater cleared his head. He looked at Shangguan Mengqing, who stood gracefully with her hands behind her back not far away, and asked blankly, "This isn't a dream, is it?"

Shangguan Mengqing said calmly, "Who told you this was a dream?"

"Then what I just did..."

Lin Ran's expression suddenly stiffened. He looked at Shangguan Mengqing, hoping that she could tell him that they were still in a dream, only they didn't know which layer of the dream they were in.

Otherwise, his arrogant remarks just now might have caused trouble, right?

"Fool, take good care of your injury!"

Shangguan Mengqing turned to leave, but after taking a few steps, she suddenly remembered something, turned back, looked at Lin Ran who was still standing there dumbfounded, and said expressionlessly, "Given your poor performance, your surprise is over. You'd better watch yourself!"

After saying that, Shangguan Mengqing transformed into a deep blue light and disappeared.

Lin Ran, who was still standing there, stared wide-eyed, then couldn't help but beat her chest and stamp her feet in frustration:

"Damn it, Lin Ran, how could you be so stupid? You can't even tell if it's a dream or not!"

Hidden somewhere in the sky, Shangguan Mengqing looked down at Lin Ran and couldn't help but chuckle, spitting out, "Hmph, let this scoundrel suffer a bit first, consider it punishment..."

……

The rest of Lin Ran's recovery period was truly tedious. She could only see Meng Qing once a day when she was eating and taking medicine.

He was also confined to his quarters. Even though he had regained some of his strength, he couldn't wander around and had to stay here obediently.

Lin Ran was hoping that Shangguan Mengqing would retract her "order," and that she would obediently eat and drink her medicine, and stay in the bamboo house and the surrounding beach, without going anywhere else.

But it was really too boring. Lin Ran thought of calling Fan Hua out, but Fan Hua was nowhere to be found. This puzzled Lin Ran, and she could only ask Shangguan Mengqing when it was time to eat.

As soon as it was mealtime today, Shangguan Mengqing entered the bamboo house right on time, carrying a bamboo basket. Seeing Lin Ran lying obediently inside, she went to the table and placed the food and the dark, viscous medicine on it.

Even from a distance, Lin Ran could smell the bitter odor emanating from the steaming medicinal liquid; it truly felt almost like a biological weapon.

Even for someone like Lin Ran, who has a high tolerance for bitterness, the medicine was so bitter it made her feel nauseous.

Seeing Lin Ran's bitter expression, Shangguan Mengqing said with a stern face, "What's wrong? Starting to feel disgusted?"

"No, no, there's no dissatisfaction at all!"

Lin Ran rubbed her hands together, then got off the bamboo bed and sat down at the table as if she were going to her heroic execution. She looked at the large bowl of dark medicine, then at the dishes next to her, which were so bland that they had no taste at all; they were just some unknown green vegetables that had been blanched in boiling water.

Looking at the "abundant" dishes on the table, Lin Ran's Adam's apple bobbed, and then she looked at Shangguan Mengqing and asked, "Mengqing, where did Fanhua and Qianyi go? Can you tell me?"

"What, are you bored? Want to call two pretty girls to keep you company?" Shangguan Mengqing said.

"Oh, no, I was just asking because I was a little worried!" Lin Ran quickly explained.

Shangguan Mengqing glanced at Lin Ran and then slowly said, "The magma beneath the sealed land that Fan Hua mentioned has treasures, and there are indeed treasures there. That's why I had Qianyi cultivate there. By the time she comes out, she should be able to break through to the Nirvana Realm!"

"Is it that powerful? What kind of treasure is it?" Lin Ran asked in surprise.

You should know that Wen Qianyi is only at the sixth level of the Spirit Pill Realm, while the treasure there is about to break through to the Nirvana Realm. That is definitely a great opportunity.

Shangguan Mengqing continued, "Qianyi will tell you after she comes out. As for Fanhua, she's busy with other things. Don't worry, everyone is safe!"

After she finished explaining, she looked at Lin Ran, then at the "abundant" dishes on the table. Without saying much, just a glance was enough for Lin Ran to know what to do. He forced himself to swallow all the food.

Seeing that Lin Ran had finished eating, Shangguan Mengqing nodded in satisfaction, packed her things, and prepared to leave. But as she was about to leave the bamboo house, Shangguan Mengqing suddenly said, "Since you've been so obedient lately, I'll take you somewhere tomorrow."

Upon hearing this, Lin Ran stood up abruptly and rushed to Shangguan Mengqing's side, asking anxiously, "Is it a surprise?"

Shangguan Mengqing said calmly, "No, you'll find out tomorrow. Just get into a good state of mind for cultivation!"

After saying that, Shangguan Mengqing hurriedly left the bamboo house without saying anything more.

"Oh…"

Lin Ran felt a little discouraged, but then she thought that she would finally be able to go out for a stroll tomorrow, and her mood improved a lot. She quickly sat cross-legged on the bamboo bed to cultivate, trying to adjust her condition to its peak.

After Lin Ran entered a meditative state, Shangguan Mengqing appeared at the window of the bamboo house, looked at Lin Ran, and couldn't help but bite her red lips, murmuring in her heart, "Soon... we will be parting ways, you must seize the opportunity!"

……

Chapter 187 Fool

Once you enter a meditative state, time quietly slips away.

When Lin Ran opened her eyes, she was greeted by the rather dazzling sunlight streaming into the bamboo house. Squinting slightly, Lin Ran felt her current physical condition and was quite satisfied with her successful cultivation that night.

Not only have his injuries fully recovered, but his Nirvana Realm level nine is also more stable than before.

Although the "biological weapon" that Shangguan Mengqing brought was terrifying, its medicinal effects were truly top-notch, eliminating all the aftereffects of being eroded by demonic energy in the body, though there were a few minor side effects.

Lin Ran's mind was clear, and she wasn't thinking about anything inappropriate, but in some places, she stood tall and firm, as hard as iron. She was so engrossed in this cross-legged meditation that her clothes were about to burst.

"Didn't you suffer a loss not long ago? Have you forgotten so quickly? Settle down..."

Lin Ran gently patted her "brother" and muttered to herself for a while before calming down.

This relieved Lin Ran. She really needed to learn some calming mantras in the future. Reciting them a few times when she had nothing to do could help her calm her mind and improve her cultivation.

If Shangguan Mengqing suddenly walked in during such an awkward moment and saw this, she would probably call him a pervert again.

"Yeah!"

As luck would have it, the door to the bamboo house opened the next moment, and a bright figure walked in carrying a bamboo basket. Shangguan Mengqing had come to deliver medicinal meals to Lin Ran again today, just in time.

Seeing that Lin Ran was in excellent spirits today, Shangguan Mengqing nodded in satisfaction and said, "She has indeed been cultivating diligently..."

"I was just thinking that if you didn't cultivate diligently, I wouldn't take you today. Looks like you remembered what I said..."

"How could I not remember that!" Lin Ran said with a wry smile.

If he doesn't cultivate properly, he might be disliked by Meng Qing again. The "surprise" has finally turned around, so he can't slack off. Besides, Lin Ran doesn't want to disappoint Meng Qing.

Sitting down at the table, which was already laden with various medicinal dishes, just like before, but today there was much more of both quantity and variety. The entire bamboo house was filled with the smell of medicine. Lin Ran looked at Shangguan Mengqing with a bitter expression and couldn't help but say, "So many medicinal dishes?"

"Mm!" Shangguan Mengqing nodded.

"Can I eat less?" Lin Ran asked tentatively.

Shangguan Mengqing rested her elbows on the table, her deep eyes gleaming as she stared at Lin Ran and said, "So you're saying you don't want to go today?"

"I didn't say that!"

Lin Ran retorted, "It's just that there's too much medicinal food. How about... you eat with me?"

He felt that Shangguan Mengqing had to try this damned medicinal diet to see just how bitter and unpalatable it was. He had been forcing himself to eat it for so many days, and now he had to eat such a large amount. It could really kill him.

"I've eaten, you eat now!"

After saying that, Shangguan Mengqing fell silent, her clear, cold eyes fixed on the dishes on the table, her slender fingers tapping unconsciously on the surface.

The bamboo house was very quiet, so quiet that you could clearly hear the sound of waves crashing against the shore and the subtle yet rhythmic tapping of fingers on the table.

A moment later, another sound appeared: the sound of someone wolfing down food...

Shangguan Mengqing tidied up the mess on the table, putting the empty basins into the bamboo basket. When she saw Lin Ran looking out the window with a worried expression and some medicine residue still on the corner of her mouth, she couldn't help but find it funny.

She took out a handkerchief, bent down, and gently wiped the medicine residue from Lin Ran's mouth. Seeing Lin Ran looking over, she calmly said, "Just wiping a child's mouth..."
