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

"Fuck!"

Lin Ran was so frightened that she quickly took a step back, feeling cold sweat running down her back. Was Li Yuhan really that powerful now? He was at the peak of the Nirvana Realm and had even used the power of the Flowing Tassel Palace. How could he possibly detect me?

After waiting a moment, Lin Ran noticed that Li Yuhan's eyes were still tightly closed, but her face was covered with a fine blush. Her rosy lips were constantly opening and closing, emitting "devilish sounds." Her jade-like arms, which had been outside the covers, were now inside the blankets, rising and falling...

Seeing this scene, Lin Ran knew exactly what was happening. He never expected that he would happen to be the one who was "dreaming" with Li Yuhan, and that he was the protagonist in the dream.

He suddenly didn't want to wake Li Yuhan anymore. He wanted to see how things would develop. As a rising academic star in the Nine Provinces Continent, he believed that this observation would definitely lead to great academic achievements.

He even thoughtfully pulled the curtain open and hung it on the hooks on both sides, watching this precious "experimental process" unfold before him.

Of course, the process was inevitably a bit tough, and Lin Ran found it quite uncomfortable to endure. Her whole body felt like it was on fire. The room was already warm, but the heat made Lin Ran take off her robe and coat, revealing the white shirt underneath.

He observed for a while, thinking that it would be better to leave the room. Just as he was about to get up and leave, he suddenly heard a slightly loud voice. Lin Ran subconsciously looked over and saw that Li Yuhan had actually opened her sleepy eyes and was looking right into Lin Ran's eyes.

“Ah… I think I can explain it…” Lin Ran said in a low voice.

He barged into Li Yuhan's room in the middle of the night and witnessed such a scene. Even someone as strong-willed as Li Yuhan would probably feel ashamed and indignant.

To Lin Ran's surprise, Li Yuhan actually stood up and wrapped her snake-like arms around Lin Ran, pulling her down onto the bed. She leaned over Lin Ran and muttered foolishly, "Is that all? What a useless man!"

Lin Ran: "..."

Why is he useless again?

Before he could speak, his mouth was covered. A "little snake" rushed into Lin Ran's territory, recklessly chasing its prey. Once it caught up, it used the "entanglement" technique to tightly bind its prey.

Lin Ran hadn't expected Li Yuhan to be so crazy. She bound him like a snake, her strong, long legs teasing him intentionally or unintentionally.

The fire was already raging, and Li Yuhan's actions drove Lin Ran into a frenzy. She struggled to free her hands and mercilessly unleashed all sorts of ruthless tactics against Li Yuhan.

"Ouch...it hurts!"

Li Yuhan couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, and relaxed slightly. Her dazed eyes seemed to regain some clarity.

Lin Ran was taken aback and quickly asked, "Are you alright? Are you okay?"

Upon hearing this, Li Yuhan, who had just been somewhat dazed, turned pale with fear on her flushed face. She abruptly pushed Lin Ran off the bed, covered her beautiful figure with the thin blanket, and coldly shouted, "This is not a dream! Who are you?!"

When Li Yuhan mentioned dreams, Lin Ran finally realized why Li Yuhan had been acting so wildly earlier; she thought she was still dreaming.

"Keep your voice down, I'm Lin Ran!"

Lin Ran pressed a button by the bed, and the whole room suddenly became bright, allowing Li Yuhan to clearly see Lin Ran's figure.

Li Yuhan's pretty face flushed red, and her breathtaking face seemed to become even more beautiful and charming because of the blush. A rich fragrance filled the room as she looked up at Lin Ran.

Looking at the person in front of her, who was even younger than the bad guy she remembered, she couldn't help but frown and say, "You're not Lin Ran? That old man Lin Ran isn't this young!"

"Holy crap, how did I become an old man?!"

Lin Ran cried out that he was wronged, but calling him an old man didn't seem to be a problem. If we look at his age in the old world, he would be close to retirement age.

"I really am Lin Ran. I just had a strange encounter that made me younger. I received the news from there when I was young and rushed here immediately. If you don't believe me, I'll tell you some things that only the two of us know," Lin Ran said.

Li Yuhan nodded and just stared at Lin Ran without saying a word.

Seeing Li Yuhan like this, Lin Ran braced herself and said, "Remember the little game of 'Ice and Fire'? You brought hot water and ice to help me in the study downstairs."

"Alright, you bastard, shut your stinking mouth!" Li Yuhan shouted angrily, her pretty face flushed.

……

41. Old pork and fox spirit

Li Yuhan's feelings at this moment were a mix of emotions. She desperately wanted to escape her current predicament, hoped to see Lin Ran the moment she opened her eyes, hoped to have someone to rely on, and hoped to give herself completely to Lin Ran, rather than seeing her again as a separation by death...

Perhaps... it was her fragile prayers late at night that allowed her dream to come true. She successfully met Lin Ran in her "dream," and she pounced on Lin Ran like a mad beast, tearing at her frantically. Then, the cruel reality told her that it was all real.

This definitely deserves a place on Li Yuhan's list of the most embarrassing moments of her life. Coincidentally, many of them were caused by this damned guy in front of her.

My mouth feels so dry and bitter... Ugh... Ugh...

Li Yuhan belatedly realized that she felt a bitter taste in her mouth, along with a lingering greasy smell, which she tried to get rid of even after vomiting for a long time.

She couldn't help but look at Lin Ran, the culprit, and questioned, "Did you wash up?"

"Uh... how could I possibly make it in time? I've been rushing all this way..."

Lin Ran scratched her head sheepishly, standing by the bed, looking somewhat awkward.

Seeing Lin Ran like this, Li Yuhan was both angry and amused, but her heart warmed. It seemed that she still held some place in this jerk's heart!

Li Yuhan lifted the blanket, revealing a black silk nightgown. Seeing that the shoulder straps were torn, Li Yuhan fiddled with it for a bit, but seeing that she couldn't fix it, she gave up and got out of bed "openly," ignoring Lin Ran who was staring at her with wide eyes, and headed straight for the bathroom.

Just as she was about to enter the bathroom, she turned back and said, "Go to the next room and wash yourself clean, then come back here and wait for me!"

After he finished speaking, the bathroom door slammed shut, creating a sad, thick barrier between Lin Ran and that "beautiful scenery," leaving him only able to recall that wonderful memory through the air.

"The feeling of nostalgia...it's really nice..."

Lin Ran hummed a little tune as she went to the next room to wash up. In the bathroom, the sound of running water filled the air, and billowing steam rose in the mist. Hearing the noise outside, Li Yuhan glanced down and, seeing the purplish-blue bruises, spat out, "You heartless bastard who doesn't care about what's not yours..."

Men tend to shower exceptionally quickly when they're about to do something urgent, and Lin Ran was no exception. He felt that a long and drawn-out battle was about to begin, so he returned to his bedroom early, lay on the bed, and stared at the ceiling, waiting.

"bump!"

The bathroom door opened quickly, and Lin Ran looked up slightly, immediately perking up.

Wrapped in a bath towel, her body steaming with white vapor, her skin snow-white and smooth, her figure alluring, her face captivating, her hair loose and disheveled over her shoulders…

Under the lights, Li Yuhan's devastating beauty stunned Lin Ran.

"Are you done washing?" Lin Ran asked, swallowing hard.

Li Yuhan glanced at Lin Ran and nodded: "Mm."

She sat on the edge of the bed, about to dry her hair with another towel in her hand, when suddenly a large hand snatched the towel away, and a voice rang out: "Let me help you!"

Li Yuhan couldn't help but find it amusing. Enjoying Lin Ran's service of drying her hair, she said to herself, "Old pork, even if you're like this, I'm not in the mood for 'that,' so don't even think about touching me!"

Lin Ran: "..."

Why does he have another nickname now? What's with "old pork"? He's clearly a young and handsome guy. Doesn't he look like one?

"How is the situation now?" Lin Ran asked.

"very bad!"

Li Yuhan couldn't help but cross her legs. When her fair and plump thighs collided, they slightly dented, making Lin Ran want to knead them.

"How bad is it?" Lin Ran smiled.

Having arrived in Jiezhou, he even had a contest with the people from the Central Region's Heart State. He felt even more keenly the backwardness of the Li Dynasty in this remote corner of the country. Now that he had truly activated the Nine Heavens Azure Dragon Technique, he could even challenge those at the Dragon Transformation Realm. He really didn't take the Nirvana Realm here in the Li Dynasty seriously.

No matter how ruthless these people are, are they as ruthless as those tough bastards in the danger triangle?

"I'm getting married in a few days. Isn't that terrible? Your little maid, your precious possession, is going to be eaten by someone!" Li Yuhan turned her head and teased Lin Ran.

Lin Ran paused in her work and replied, "If someone wants to take the meat I've set their sights on, they'd better have some skill!"

"Their combined strength amounts to ten Nirvana Realm experts; they really have the power to compete with you!"

Li Yuhan turned around, snatched the towel from Lin Ran's hand and threw it aside, staring intently at Lin Ran, and said, "Would you like to take me away?"

"Where to?" Lin Ran asked.

"Anywhere is fine with me!"

Li Yuhan wrapped her arms around Lin Ran's neck with practiced ease, and said with a bitter smile, "As long as we leave the Li Dynasty..."

Lin Ran then wrapped her arms around Li Yuhan's slender waist and said confidently, "Then I'd say you don't need to leave, and you could even become the Empress of the Li Dynasty?"

"You're joking again!"

Li Yuhan playfully punched Lin Ran with her fist, saying coquettishly, "Your woman is about to be stolen away, and you're still making empty promises to me. If you keep doing this, I'm going to marry one of those disgusting guys."

"Alright, alright, how about I take you and your family to Jiezhou?" Lin Ran didn't argue and continued.

"No... Your alchemist girlfriend is over there. I don't want to go and join the fun. A vixen like me is easy to be disliked..." Li Yuhan pouted and said.

"You're quite well-informed. How did you know about my alchemist girlfriend?"

This surprised Lin Ran a bit. Li Yuhan, who was far away in Liezhou, already knew that she had a girlfriend. Could Jia'er, who was in heaven, also know?

Lin Ran suddenly felt a chill run down her spine and broke out in a sweat; she felt her life was in danger.

Seeing the expression on Lin Ran's face, Li Yuhan couldn't help but let out a silvery laugh. She reached out and rubbed Lin Ran's cheek, laughing like a mother coaxing a child, "My sweet baby, what are you afraid of? I won't compete with your girlfriend for anything, don't worry. I'm just very curious about how you managed to get an alchemist as your woman. Remember to tell me when you have time."

"Are you trying to fool a child? Get lost, we're talking about serious matters!"

Lin Ran slapped the round, full moon in annoyance and said.

Li Yuhan smiled dreamily, nestled in Lin Ran's arms, playing with her hair, and said to herself, "Jin Zhenpeng, the eldest prince of the Jin Dynasty, should be the most powerful in the Jin Dynasty and the Yun Dynasty. Originally, the war situation was even, and we even had the advantage, but it was because the power behind him suddenly brought out five Nirvana Realm experts that the war situation was reversed all at once."

"Five Nirvana Realm experts? Where did they come from? That's a bit exaggerated!" Lin Ran said in surprise.

There aren't many strong people near the Li Dynasty. Even if the Nirvana Realm experts of the Jin and Yun Dynasties are combined, they are only on par with the Li Dynasty. Where did these five people come from out of nowhere?

"Yeah, I don't know where that weak and pale-faced Jin Zhenpeng came from, and he even came up with a scheme. If he hadn't attacked Linshan City, would I have needed to go out to negotiate? It's all because of you, you old pig!" Li Yuhan punched Lin Ran again.

But this time, Lin Ran also knew that without Li Yuhan, the numerous Nirvana Realm experts on the other side might have wiped out his Lin family. This made him feel lingering fear, and he couldn't help but hug Li Yuhan tightly, saying, "Thank you..."

"Consider it a favor you owe me, I'll remember it..." Li Yuhan smiled.

"It's alright, just let me know if you need anything in the future, and I'll definitely do my best to help you with it!"

Lin Ran continued, "Tell me about those five Nirvana Realm cultivators who suddenly appeared. I need to know more about them. I feel like there's something amiss with how they appeared."

"I don't know much about them either, but they all wore black robes and used very insidious moves that shimmered with a dark red light..." Li Yuhan said, recounting her memories.

"A dark red light..."

A hint of doubt flashed in Lin Ran's eyes. He suddenly thought of the various characters in the later part of the original work who sacrificed themselves to the Void Evil Clan for greater power and became slaves of the Void Evil Clan. These characters relied on the demonic energy of the evil clan to increase their strength, and their lifespans were very short.

"What...did you think of something?"

Li Yuhan couldn't help but stretch in Lin Ran's arms, leaning against Lin Ran's lap as a pillow, and said lazily.

"The other side is likely to be some very evil thing, but it doesn't matter. Your master specializes in killing these kinds of evil things. I'll just carve a bloody path for you!" Lin Ran said confidently.

"Hey, look at you, so capable..."

Li Yuhan laughed and scolded, glancing out the window. It was already dawn. Normally, she should get up to prepare for the affairs of the Jinling Chamber of Commerce. Although she herself had recently been caught in this vortex, the Jinling Chamber of Commerce was still operating normally.

However, there wasn't much to manage. She had seen the predicament of the Li Dynasty, and if it couldn't be resolved, the Jinling Chamber of Commerce would also perish. No matter how well it was managed, it would be useless.
