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

Lin Ran, who was standing to the side, thought that Mu Shishuang was also from the Spirit Clan, and must have read a lot of ancient books of the Spirit Clan. Perhaps she really had some key information. He couldn't help but say, "Shishuang, just say what you want to say!"

Mu Shishuang glanced at Lin Ran. She knew Lin Ran's plan, but she wasn't against it. Doing this could make up for the mistakes she had made, so it was worth it.

“I once read in ancient books that Qianlong Mountain in the former state of the Southern Region was an ancient battlefield a long time ago. But this ancient battlefield is quite special. It was one of the main battlefields in which the races of the Nine Provinces fought against the Void Evil Clan. Many powerful people have perished there, including even Saints!”

Mu Shishuang's last words made the room fall into an absolute silence, almost a stillness, and no one dared to breathe deeply.

That ancient battlefield even claimed the lives of saints. Just how brutal was the battle against the Void Evil Clan back then?

Ye Wanxi raised her hand as if she wanted to ask a question, which amused Lin Ran. He laughed and said, "Wanxi, we're just chatting, not answering questions in class. Just say what you want to say!"

"The atmosphere was so serious just now, I felt a little embarrassed!"

Ye Wanxi hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Does that mean this secret realm will be very dangerous?"

"uncertain!"

Mu Shishuang shook her head and continued, "I don't know what the Qianlong Ruins you mentioned are like, but what I can confirm is that Qianlong Mountain was once an ancient battlefield."

"Based on the information you just mentioned, there are probably many powerful individuals who have left behind trials in this secret realm. If you pass these trials, you might be able to obtain their inheritance or some secret techniques. It should be considered a good place for training."

"However, that doesn't mean it's really not dangerous. As I just said, it's an ancient battlefield where they once fought against the Void Evil Clan. The space there is fragile and very unstable, which can easily cause spatial turbulence and spatial rifts. Many unexpected factors can also occur, so we still have to be very careful."

Lin Ran glanced at Mu Shishuang with some surprise, then patted Lin Chong on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Little Chong, keep these things firmly in mind, you might need them someday."

"Yes, thank you..."

Lin Chong wanted to thank the other party, but he was a little troubled about how to address his mother's sister. He couldn't help but ask Lin Ran for help: "Father, how should I address her..."

"Let's call her Auntie!"

Lin Ran looked at Mu Shishuang, who seemed a little embarrassed, and smiled warmly: "So, Shishuang, can you accept this address?"

Can I say no?

Mu Shishuang thought to herself that being called "Auntie" felt a little strange.

"Thank you, Auntie!" Lin Chong said.

"No...no need, I didn't do anything..."

Mu Shishuang's face flushed slightly. She felt a little ashamed to be thanked by Lin Chong so much. She had previously risked Lin Chong's life to endanger Lin Ran, and now that Lin Chong was thanking her, she felt ashamed.

Seeing that it was getting dark outside, Lin Ran stood up and said, "It's about time to cook dinner. Chong'er is back today, so I'll cook you a big meal. Qiu Qingzi will also be coming over for a free meal later. It's been a long time since it's been this lively!"

Wen Qianyi also stood up, and was somewhat surprised to hear Lin Ran's words: "Sister Qiu is coming too?"

"That girl was craving the meat soup I made, and she helped me a lot, so it's only right that I treat her to a meal!"

Lin Ran is sensible and knows how to get along with people. She can't let people work for free every day and be treated like slaves, can she?

"We really should treat Sister Qiu well!"

Wen Qianyi echoed, agreeing with Lin Ran's idea.

"Then let's get started. Do you want to help?" Lin Ran asked with a smile.

Everyone worked together in the kitchen, which was quite fun, and he thoroughly enjoyed the gathering with family and friends.

"Uncle Lin, I want to participate!"

Ye Wanxi was the first to raise her hand.

"Father, I want one too!"

Lin Chong followed closely behind.

"Senior, don't leave me out!"

Wen Qianyi sweetly hugged Lin Ran's arm and said coquettishly.

Finally, only Mu Shishuang remained…

Suddenly drawing everyone's attention made Mu Shishuang a little scared. She said softly, "I don't know anything... Don't you mind?"

“Everyone has a first time, and everyone has things they don’t know how to do. But you can learn. Do you think you can’t learn?” Lin Ran said softly.

"I…"

As Mu Shishuang was at a loss for words, a hand reached out in front of her. The hand was fair and slender, and she couldn't help but look over. It was Lin Ran's hand that was being extended to her.

"Try it!"

"it is good!"

Mu Shishuang instinctively reached out and grasped it; perhaps this would be another good start.

……

87. Even in the most ordinary of lives, there are surprises.

Today, Linghua Academy was still shrouded in gloomy rain clouds, with lightning and thunder in the sky, and the water level of the nearby rivers had risen considerably due to the continuous heavy rain.

"My head is so dizzy!"

In the guest room bedroom, Mu Shishuang sat up in bed, rubbing her temples. She had been happy last night and only remembered drinking a lot of fruit wine, which tasted sweet and sour like a beverage. She had gotten carried away and drunk herself unconscious.

"Alcohol is really no good..."

She murmured something to herself, glancing down at her clothes. She didn't realize when she had been dressed in a new set. She didn't really care, since either Qianyi or Lin Ran had helped her change anyway.

Mu Shishuang wanted to get up to wash up, and subconsciously looked towards the window of her room. She dragged her feet to the window, gently pushed it open, and the playful rain outside immediately splashed onto her face. The coolness made her a little more awake.

"It's raining again..."

Mu Shishuang closed the window. Having seen so many rainy days, she was starting to dislike them. On rainy days, she couldn't go out freely and had to stay indoors. If only she had the power… but Lin Ran wouldn't agree…

Although there was a washroom in the room, there was no hot water. Ever since she learned to boil water in the kitchen and then bring it back to the room, Mu Shishuang has enjoyed the process. She can use the extra water to make a pot of hot tea and eat the breakfast that Lin Ran left in the kitchen. She has begun to learn to enjoy life.

The oil-paper umbrella was placed on the left side of the door. Mu Shishuang opened the umbrella and walked towards the kitchen. On the way, she passed the courtyard where Lin Chong and the others lived. She heard some strange noises and couldn't help but curiously go over to take a look.

Lin Chong was seen practicing his swordsmanship in the courtyard, braving the torrential rain. He didn't use many fancy moves, but simply repeated the basic sword techniques. His eyes were incredibly determined, and he was so focused that he didn't even notice Mu Shishuang's presence as he continued to swing his sword.

Mu Shishuang watched for a while, then quietly left, but the image of Lin Chong practicing his sword remained in her mind. This child... seemed to be working even harder than she had imagined.

She went to the kitchen to boil water, then carried it back to her room. When she passed by Lin Chong's courtyard, she saw Lin Chong still practicing his sword. She glanced at him a few times and then left.

She walked back and forth in the kitchen several times, and an hour had passed, but Lin Chong was still practicing his sword moves, only now he was using different techniques.

Lin Ran didn't come back at noon today. I heard that there was a competition being held in the back mountain. As the chief supervisor, Lin Ran naturally had to be there to provide guidance. So today, Mu Shishuang could only eat the leftovers from last night. But even the leftovers were very delicious under Ye Wanxi's cooking.

In the main hall of Lin Ran's house, Mu Shishuang, Ye Wanxi, and Lin Chong were sitting around a table. Ye Wanxi was busy serving rice and soup.

Mu Shishuang stared at it for a while, then put down the bowl full of hot soup in her hand and said softly, "Wanxi, sit down and eat!"

"Sister Mu, I'm usually busy, so don't worry about me!"

After Ye Wanxi poured Lin Chong a bowl of soup, she was finally able to pick up her chopsticks and eat. Although she wasn't as lively and adorable as her younger sister Qingyi, she was still quite eloquent.

Under Ye Wanxi's deliberate guidance, the atmosphere at the meal became quite harmonious. Mu Shishuang gradually spoke more, and her expression and tone became less aloof.

"Does Lin Chong practice swordsmanship every day? I saw him practicing even in the pouring rain today..."

Mu Shishuang found an opportunity to voice the question she was curious about.

"Sister Mu, practicing swordsmanship is his daily, unwavering training plan!"

Ye Wanxi was clearly somewhat resentful about this. She rolled her eyes at Lin Chong and complained, "No matter what time it is, he has to practice swordsmanship for one or two hours every morning. Practicing swordsmanship in the heavy rain is considered a little better."

"Once, the competition was about to start, but he still needed to practice his sword to warm up. If I hadn't gone to the back mountain to find him, he would have been considered to have forfeited!"

Ye Wanxi's memory of this matter was so vivid that when she spoke of it now, the emotions in her words were palpable.

Lin Chong, who was standing to the side, scratched his head awkwardly and tried to explain, "It's not as exaggerated as you say. If I don't practice my sword and warm up, my condition in the competition won't be as good. Look at how easily I've won every time!"

"Humph!"

Ye Wanxi snorted softly, lowered her head and ate her food, looking like she didn't want to pay any attention to Lin Chong.

Lin Chong, seeing Wanxi throwing a tantrum, wasn't entirely foolish. He knew to serve her food and say some sweet words to coax her. But Wanxi couldn't help but laugh at those insensitive compliments.

Ye Wanxi covered her mouth and chuckled, "Brother Lin Chong, who says such nice things? Telling me to eat more so I'll have a better figure? Don't I have a good figure now, huh?!"

"I... Wanxi, of course you have a great figure now. I just wanted to... no, I..."

Lin Chong was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan. He really wished time could stop so he could go to his father to learn from his father's wisdom.

"Pfft!"

Ye Wanxi couldn't help but burst into laughter, momentarily losing her composure. Lin Chong, standing nearby, was even more anxious and wanted to ask Mu Shishuang for help.

But how could Mu Shishuang understand these things? She also said she couldn't help, but today's lunch was quite interesting. She didn't really understand what love was, but Wanxi was probably complaining that Lin Chong didn't spend any time with her, right?

……

In the evening, Lin Ran and Wen Qianyi returned to the courtyard together. A large group of people were busy in the kitchen. When Lin Chong and Wanxi took the bowls, chopsticks and food to the hall, only Lin Ran, Qianyi and Mu Shishuang were left in the kitchen.

Wen Qianyi tugged at Lin Ran, who was stirring the meat soup, and without hiding it from Mu Shishuang, who was watching the stove fire, she whispered, "Senior, I'll have to trouble you to help Shishuang clear the fire poison again tonight, it's the same procedure as before."

"Hey, where are you going?"

Lin Ran was stunned for a moment, then quickly asked.

"I'm going to refine some pills. I've recently received some requests to refine pills for me, and they're offering very generous rewards. That way, I'll have the medicinal herbs to refine some pills to enhance Xiao Chong's strength," Wen Qianyi said softly.

"I...I really don't know how to thank you!"

Lin Ran felt somewhat helpless. He was feeling more and more indebted to Qianyi, and if he hurt her, he might feel guilty for the rest of his life.

Wen Qianyi winked playfully, put her hands behind her back, and smiled, "Senior, there's no need for thanks between us. But you'll have to cultivate with me then, okay?"

After saying that, Wen Qianyi gave him a tender, affectionate look.

"I'll be there whenever you call, okay?"

Lin Ran couldn't help but get excited. Serious cultivation was no fun at all!

Looking at the two of them stuck together like glue, Mu Shishuang understood what it meant to be inseparable. But as the younger sister of the older sister, should she stop Lin Ran from flirting with other women?

Qianyi is a very nice person, and many men have multiple wives and concubines. If she were a man, she would also like such a girl and make her her wife.

Why is Lin Ran able to attract both her older sister and an outstanding girl like Qianyi? Perhaps she needs to read more about relationship stories to find the answer!

Dinner tonight was still lively. Although one woman who seemed like a vixen was missing, Mu Shishuang found it interesting and heartwarming to have them all together.
