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

Lin Ran shook his head helplessly. He stepped into the deep spatial tunnel, and with a flash of silver light, he disappeared into the tunnel.

The staff member who was not far away saw Lin Ran hesitate for a moment before walking into the space tunnel. He couldn't help but shake his head, silently picked up a notebook, drew a line on a page, and muttered, "Not one again!"

After Lin Ran entered the space tunnel, a familiar feeling of weightlessness came over her, but it only lasted for a moment. After the feeling of weightlessness disappeared, a strange place appeared in front of her.

A faint silver spatial barrier protected both sides, while the passage stretched into a deep darkness with no end in sight, and a strong spatial energy could be felt surging within it.

This world was completely silent, devoid of any sound or human presence; the silence was terrifying.

"This place is still the same as before, just like outer space. I guess I've been to outer space!" Lin Ran thought to herself.

Just as he was about to take out the small wooden boat and start it, Fan Hua's voice rang out: "You have the Flowing Tassel Palace but you're using this broken little boat instead? Won't you die when the spatial turbulence comes?"

"Then... how do I use it?" Lin Ran was taken aback.

"I come!"

Fan Hua shouted angrily.

Immediately afterwards, a golden light emerged from between Lin Ran's eyebrows, transforming into a ball of golden light. Inside the golden light was a small tassel palace, which then suddenly expanded, growing back to the size of a palace.

The gleaming golden palace gates swung open to both sides, and a voice emanated from within: "Come in quickly!"

As Lin Ran entered the Tassel Palace, the palace doors behind her slammed shut with a "snap," causing the palace to shake violently and Lin Ran to fall to the ground unexpectedly.

After a while, the shaking gradually stopped. Lin Ran stood up, leaning against the wall, and walked towards the central hall, calling out, "Fan Hua, you're making me experience an earthquake again, aren't you!"

Upon reaching the main hall, Lin Ran saw Fan Hua sitting on the throne, intently watching the scene unfolding before her.

Lin Ran leaned closer to Fan Hua and saw that what Fan Hua was looking at was the scene outside. The silver barriers on both sides of the space tunnel flashed by at a speed that was dazzling.

"Is there anything I can do for you?" Lin Ran asked.

Fan Hua glanced at Lin Ran beside her and said helplessly, "You can just focus on your cultivation or whatever else you want. This space tunnel is a bit dangerous, so I have to keep an eye on things. I'll call you for help if anything happens!"

"Okay, you're busy!"

Lin Ran scratched her head sheepishly, went to the side of the main hall, took out spirit stones, and began to cultivate cross-legged.

In this silent, dark space tunnel, a golden light, like a shooting star, streaked across the darkness, occasionally dodging the spatial turbulence that surged forth due to the rupture of the silver spatial barrier, and soon disappeared at the end of the black hole.

Space travel is extremely tedious. Last time, it took Lin Ran almost half a month to return to Liezhou. This time, according to Fan Hua, at their current speed, it might take a few more days.

The main problem is that the tassel palace is currently operating at a low power level. If it were operating at a high power level, Fan Hua fears that Lin Ran's spiritual energy would be drained in no time.

In addition, the space tunnel is complex and has frequent spatial turbulence, which also affected the journey to some extent. It would be good if we could safely return to Jiezhou in nearly a month.

Time slipped away quietly in this monotonous atmosphere…

After an unknown amount of time, Lin Ran emerged from her cultivation state. The spirit stone in her hand had long since turned into a useless piece of stone devoid of spiritual power, easily crumbling into milky white dust and slipping from her hand with a mere touch.

Brushing the dust off her clothes, Lin Ran stood up and looked at the blooming flowers propping up her cheeks, asking, "How long have we been in this space tunnel?"

"It's been about twenty days, and I feel it should be almost done. The space tunnel here is much more stable!" Fan Hua pointed to the silver space barriers on both sides of the image and explained, "Because the space tunnel needs to be maintained by both sides, you can see how well the other side is maintained. This space barrier is very solid, and the silver is very clear!"

Lin Ran looked in the direction Fan Hua pointed and found that, as Fan Hua had said, the space tunnel on the other side was indeed better maintained. It was no longer the very thin tunnel they had seen in the first half, where spatial turbulence occasionally surged in.

"So, are we out of danger?" Lin Ran asked.

"not at all!"

Fan Hua shook her head, her eyes filled with worry, and said, "Although there is no spatial turbulence now, it makes me even more panicked, especially in the middle of the journey, the spatial tunnel is almost completely broken, and spatial turbulence is rampant. But that's all right. The key is that I... sensed a trace of the aura of the Void Evil Clan in it."

"The Void Evil Clan!"

Lin Ran was taken aback, and his expression instantly turned serious as he asked, "Do you feel alright?"

"Probably not. Hopefully, you can get to Jiezhou soon. Fighting the Void Evil Clan in the spatial turbulence area would be too disadvantageous for you!" Fan Hua said solemnly.

In terms of understanding the Void Evil Clan, perhaps no one in this era understands them better than Fan Hua. She is very clear that the Void Evil Clan members who can survive in the spatial turbulence zone must be incredibly powerful. With Lin Ran's current strength, he cannot even survive in the spatial turbulence zone, let alone fight.

If they were to encounter the Void Evil Clan, it would be far more dangerous for them than facing spatial turbulence!

"Then how can we speed things up?" Lin Ran asked.

Fan Hua glanced at Lin Ran, rubbed her thumb and forefinger together, and calmly said, "It costs more!"

Lin Ran gasped upon seeing this, but for the sake of his life, he forced himself to ask, "How many spirit stones!"

"Let's start with five high-grade spirit stones!" Fan Hua said.

Lin Ran's face twisted in shock. Five high-grade spirit stones were equivalent to throwing away several tens of thousands of gold coins.

Seeing Lin Ran's pained expression, Fan Hua said, "Don't worry, these five high-grade spirit stones are definitely worth every penny!"

To convince Lin Ran, Fan Hua patted her bulging chest, giving Lin Ran unwavering confidence.

"Okay, I'll trust you!"

Lin Ran took out five crystal-clear spirit stones of very high purity from her spatial ring, but before she could even hold them in her hand, Fan Hua snatched them away.

However, the effect was good. Even Lin Ran could feel that the speed of the entire tassel palace seemed to have doubled. As for how Lin Ran saw it, well, a high-grade spirit stone was used up in half an hour. It would take him an hour to absorb it at full power!

With such a rapid pace, the journey that should have taken several days was shortened to only one day by Fan Hua. The weather was favorable and there were no mishaps along the way, so Fan Hua's guess was probably just an illusion.

But sometimes things are just as strange as they seem. Just as the two were about to see the dazzling light that led them out of the space tunnel, the space barriers on both sides began to shake violently. Suddenly, a huge hole appeared in the space barrier on their right, and violent spatial turbulence rushed in.

Amidst this turbulent flow, dark red demonic energy also circulates. At the ruptured spatial barrier, a massive dark red eyeball, with its vertical pupil, is staring at a faint golden light within the spatial tunnel. It extends thick, dark red, barbed tentacles, bracing itself against the broken spatial barrier.

Lin Ran and Fan Hua's expressions turned extremely ugly. Even Fan Hua couldn't help but imitate Lin Ran's swear words and angrily cursed, "Damn it, why did the Void Evil Clan appear at the exact moment we were about to leave the space tunnel? You damn Lin Ran, you really need to go wash away the bad luck on you!"

.......

71. Void Hunter

"A red-hearted person becomes red, a black-hearted person becomes black!"

This long-standing saying is perfectly embodied in Fan Hua.

Even Lin Ran was shocked by Fan Hua's words. In fact, the appearance of the Void Evil Clan was more surprising than Fan Hua's cursing.

"What are you standing there for, you bastard? Give me the spirit stones and let's get out of here!"

Seeing Lin Ran standing there, Fan Hua became angry and started yelling at her like a shrew.

At this moment, Fan Hua didn't care about her appearance; her first thought was to escape from here as quickly as possible.

Because she recognized the Void Evil Clan creature in front of her. This creature, with its huge dark red eyeball connected to numerous tentacles, was a member of the Void Evil Clan that specialized in roaming and hunting in the void. It could also be called the vanguard of the Void Evil Clan. They had a resounding name—Void Hunters!

These are all at least Dragon Transformation Realm level beings. With Lin Ran's current strength, how could he possibly handle them? Whether he can even escape is a question.

Upon hearing Fan Hua's words, Lin Ran snapped out of her daze and quickly took out several bags of crystal-clear spirit stones from her spatial ring. A rich spiritual energy fluctuation emanated from the main hall and spread outwards.

After Fan Hua grabbed a bag of spirit stones, her left hand covered the bag. The spirit stones, which were still crystal clear, turned grayish-white at a speed visible to the naked eye. The sound of the spirit stones breaking into dust was like a heavy hammer hitting Lin Ran's heart.

He was heartbroken!

Having finally become a millionaire, only to watch your assets shrink drastically, who wouldn't feel heartbroken in that situation!

However, the effect of using spirit stones was quite significant. The speed of the tassel palace was instantly pulled to the extreme by the blooming flowers. That golden stream of light seemed to have truly transformed into light, rapidly approaching the brightly lit exit at the speed of light.

This seems to be a provocation to the "Void Hunter," which has finally stumbled upon something that interests it, and is not about to let its prey escape injured.

Suddenly, numerous tentacles extended from beside the eyeball, directing a silvery tide of spatial turbulence that nearly filled the entire spatial tunnel in just a few moments.

The silver spatial barriers on both sides, which were originally thick, became increasingly illusory.

"This monster can actually manipulate spatial turbulence!" Lin Ran exclaimed in surprise.

Sometimes he was really stunned by the diversity of the Void Evil Clan. There were so many of these monster groups, and they seemed to have all sorts of functions. How did the Nine Provinces Continent manage to defend itself back then?

"It doesn't just manipulate spatial turbulence; it also wants to cause spatial storms!" Fan Hua said helplessly.

"A spatial storm?!"

Lin Ran had heard of spatial storms. If you were to compare a spatial storm to something else, it would be like an ordinary ocean suddenly experiencing a super powerful tsunami that could devour everything in the world, including despair. After all, what despair is left after death?

The silver spatial turbulence had begun to rapidly form a tornado, and the increasingly powerful suction made the tassel palace, which had just increased its speed, seem to have crashed into a quagmire, making it difficult to move forward.

From the outside, the small tassel palace appeared to be trembling incessantly, giving the impression that it was about to collapse.

"Lin Ran, use your spiritual power to create a protective layer around the Flowing Tassel Palace. I'll continue to accelerate. We must break through before the enemy's spatial storm fully forms!" Fan Hua said solemnly.

Lin Ran nodded and channeled her spiritual energy to the outer perimeter of the Liusu Palace. Pale golden spiritual energy covered the entire Liusu Palace, with faint black and white runes flickering within.

The appearance of this rune caused a hint of fear to appear in the eyes of the "Void Hunter." In that fleeting moment, the Tassel Palace transformed into a beam of light and shot out, getting closer and closer to the exit in just a few moments.

The Void Hunter grew anxious. He commanded the spatial turbulence to form an increasingly exaggerated spatial storm, using powerful suction to keep the Tassel Palace there. The other tentacles were like a giant, dark red python covered in thorns, lashing down fiercely at the Tassel Palace.

"What a disgusting guy!"

Fan Hua cursed angrily, maneuvering the Tassel Palace to narrowly avoid the tentacle's attack.

As the barbed, dark red tentacles landed on the spatial barriers on either side, the silver barriers shattered instantly, and violent spatial turbulence rushed in, making the tassel palace resemble a small boat adrift in the storm, on the verge of being capsized at any moment.

The two sides then engaged in a chase within the space tunnel, with the "Void Hunter" unable to catch the slippery, tassel palace.

However, in this chase, the tassel palace was ultimately at a disadvantage, because Lin Ran and Fan Hua simply didn't have enough resources to sustain the fight.

Fan Hua racked her brains for a solution, when suddenly an idea struck her. She looked at Lin Ran with wide eyes and said, "If we keep dragging this out, we'll definitely get dragged into this. I have a plan. Would you like to try it?"

"any solution?"

Lin Ran suddenly had a bad feeling, and he tentatively asked, "You're not going to throw this old man out here to deal with that Void Hunter, and then take me away from this space tunnel while the hunter is injured!"

Fan Hua said with some surprise, "You're quite smart, aren't you?"

Lin Ran: "..."

He was momentarily at a loss for words. Should he be happy about his cleverness or sad?

"Fan Hua, you have no heart!"

Lin Ran wailed, "How can I survive in this spatial turbulence? Sending me out to deal with that guy is basically sending me to my death!"

Upon hearing this, Fan Hua's face darkened, and she slumped onto the throne, looking utterly dejected, and said, "So be it. I'm tired of living anyway. It's just a pity that some people only live forty or fifty years!"

"Brother, I'll get right to it. Just give me instructions!"

Lin Ran instantly adopted a serious expression, exuding an aura of "Do as you please, I'll go through fire and water without hesitation."

"Prepare several bags of spirit stones for me here!"

Fan Hua glanced at Lin Ran and added, "You won't care about spirit stones anymore once you're stronger. Don't be so stingy. Spending a few spirit stones to save your life is definitely worth it!"

Lin Ran was still very generous and took out five more bags of spirit stones, all of them high-grade spirit stones. This was almost his entire fortune, and it was the most Li Yuhan could give Lin Ran within her means. He didn't expect that he would have to give away more than half of it.
