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

"Even if it tastes good, you can't drink this much. Go inside and lie down!"

Lin Ran used his soul power to remotely control the carriage. He got up, intending to help Mu Shishuang into the carriage to lie down, but this provoked Mu Shishuang's resistance. The strength of her resistance surprised Lin Ran. Mu Shishuang blushed, stared at Lin Ran, and said indistinctly:

"You...you hate me, you...don't want Shuang'er...sister too...you too...waaaah!"

Before she could finish her sentence, she began to sob softly, large tears sliding down her cheeks and quickly soaking her cloak, leaving a small damp patch.

Lin Ran: "…."

What did he do this time?

But he quickly discerned something from Mu Shishuang's murmured words: Could it be that Mu Shishuang had mistaken him for her father?

Mu Shishuang's father is Qi Qin's father, and he's my father-in-law. This... I don't think I can think about it too much. I'm a little scared!

106. Interesting Stories on the Road

This was the first time Lin Ran had ever given Mu Shishuang a drink. Usually, when they had a meal together, he would drink either light tea or juice and rarely drink alcohol. He never expected that this girl would drink straight from the bottle and finish the whole pot of wine by herself.

"This girl... is much cuter and more pleasing to the eye when she's drunk!"

Lin Ran leaned against the side, watching Mu Shishuang murmur softly. She seemed less aloof than usual, like a hedgehog shedding its armor to reveal its most vulnerable and soft side. Perhaps this was the real Mu Shishuang.

Lin Ran found a mat and covered Mu Shishuang's belly with it before continuing to drive the carriage. He then took out another pot of wine to ease the sorrow of the journey.

In his previous world, Lin Ran would have had many ways to relieve boredom, but in this fantasy world, his ways of relieving boredom are far too limited.

Traveling is too tedious, especially crossing a Gobi Desert like this. The wind blows dust into the air, blurring your vision. All you see is desolation. In such a place, it's hard to find a human figure, and even monsters are rare. All you can do is listen to the howling wind, which is very annoying.

The blazing sun gradually set, and the pitch-black night was pulled up. After a day of extremely tedious and boring travel, not to mention Lin Ran, even Fu Yuemei and the others, who rarely had the experience of traveling, started to feel bored after the initial excitement.

Now, what they look forward to most is the rest and gathering time every night. Because they only travel during the day, Lin Ran does not allow them to travel at night. Nighttime is too dangerous, and the horses also need to rest. So, the nighttime has become a time for them to gather together with the children.

"it hurts!"

A cry of pain rang out inside the carriage. Mu Shishuang, who was lying in the carriage, opened her eyes to complete darkness. She could reach out and grab the swirling darkness. She slowly sat up, rubbed her head, and recalled the events of the day.

Mu Shishuang shook her head, realizing she had blacked out from drinking, and said self-deprecatingly, "Without my strength, I get drunk after just a little alcohol!"

Wow, Yuemei danced so beautifully!

Suddenly a commotion broke out outside, followed by loud applause.

What are they doing...?

Mu Shishuang became curious. As soon as she lifted the curtain, she was met with Lin Ran's large face, and the two almost bumped into each other.

Before Mu Shishuang could react, Lin Ran reacted much faster. He quickly leaned back and looked at Mu Shishuang with a surprised expression: "Why are you awake?"

"You've been sleeping for so long, shouldn't you wake up by now?" Mu Shishuang asked in return.

"That's true!"

Lin Ran scratched his head, handed over the water bottle, pointed to Mu Shi's lips, and said, "Drink some water, your lips are all chapped!"

"it is good!"

Mu Shishuang obediently took the water bottle, raised her head to reveal her fair swan neck, and gulped down the water. She was already feeling thirsty, and Lin Ran's help was a godsend.

Seeing that Mu Shishuang still wanted to drink more, Lin Ran snatched the water bottle away and complained, "You're thinking of getting full by drinking water, huh? Come on over here, we're making barbecue, I saved some for you!"

"Oh!"

Mu Shishuang got off the carriage and realized that the group had somehow reached the woods and was now camped near a small grove. The carriage was parked a little further away, but it was only a few steps away from the campfire. Fu Yuemei and the others were sitting around the campfire, and the aroma of meat wafted over.

Lin Ran brought Mu Shishuang over, and a group of children exclaimed with laughter, "Sister Mu is finally awake!"

"Yes, traveling is quite tiring!"

Mu Shishuang nodded, responded softly, and then sat down without saying anything more.

After spending a few days together, everyone got to know Mu Shishuang's temperament. She was cold and didn't like to talk much, but she would do her best to answer questions about cultivation. They privately described Mu Shishuang as a good older sister who was "cold on the outside but warm on the inside." Moreover, the frail beauty of Sister Mu really made people feel sorry for her.

Mu Shishuang sat down, hugged her knees, tilted her head and looked at Lin Ran without saying a word.

But Lin Ran knew exactly what Mu Shishuang was up to. He pointed to the skewers of grilled meat in front of him and said, "Those skewers are cooked. I'm just keeping them warm."

"Thank you!"

Mu Shishuang nodded, then reached out and picked up the sizzling, oily skewers of meat, eating them in small bites. When her mouth got a little dry, she remembered the wine from this morning and couldn't help but look at Lin Ran and ask, "Is there any more wine?"

"You'll pass out if you drink this much, I won't give you any more, drinking so much is bad for your health!"

Lin Ran thought about this morning. After the girl fell asleep, she kept muttering all sorts of things. He felt that he should reconsider letting her drink alcohol. Although it would allow him to understand more about Mu Shishuang's inner world, the girl's mouth was just too chatty. Her chanting during the journey today gave him a headache.

"it is good!"

Mu Shishuang nodded and didn't make any further demands, then quietly ate her kebabs.

At tonight's gathering, Fu Yuemei, who is usually quite reserved, actually picked up a fan and started dancing. Although there was no music, it was still very beautiful. Lin Ran could tell that some of the Flower Sect's methods were being used here.

After performing for a while, the little girl didn't want to come anymore. She sat back down with her group of girlfriends, drenched in sweat. Lin Chong happened to be sitting next to her on her left. Fu Yuemei moved a little closer and asked softly, "Was my performance... good?"

Looking at Fu Yuemei, who was so close to him and whose beauty was enhanced by the campfire, even her silver hair seemed to have a unique charm, Lin Chong couldn't help but blush. He touched his nose and smiled, "Of course she's beautiful. Yuemei, when did you start practicing?"

"Hehe, it's a secret!"

Fu Yuemei's eyes crinkled into crescent moons as she smiled, making a zipper gesture with her lips. Her playful and adorable appearance left Lin Chong somewhat dazed.

Not far away, the elderly father, Lin Ran, watched his son and his apprentice interacting so lovingly and couldn't help but think about shipping them. He hoped his son would work hard to win her over, since she was the last descendant of the Moon Clan and might become a powerful asset to his son in the future.

As dusk approached, Lin Ran urged everyone to head to the carriages. Those who needed to sleep could go to sleep, and those who needed to keep watch could keep watch. The carriages were quite spacious, so it was possible to squeeze in and sleep. If they didn't want to, they could come out and sleep in the cold wind and sand.

After an uneventful night, Lin Ran and the others set off again the next day as the sun rose.

If they want to get to Canglong Academy, they will have to cross this vast Gobi Desert and enter the dangerous triangle zone. Lin Ran and his son are both old acquaintances. It just so happens that both of them have earned great reputations, but no one knows the real identities behind those reputations.

But for Fu Yuemei and the other girls, it was incredibly nerve-wracking. The infamous danger triangle was known to everyone in Jiezhou. It was enough to strike fear into the hearts of children and stop them from crying. Now they had to go straight through this danger triangle to reach the territory of Canglong Academy.

This is undoubtedly a formidable challenge for them.

This is exactly what Lin Ran wanted. He hadn't let these kids kill anyone yet. How could they grow up without killing some villains? They couldn't be soft-hearted in that secret realm. Being merciful to the enemy was being cruel to themselves.

So the nightmare that would last for one or two months for Fu Yuemei and the others officially began. Lin Ran and Lin Chong would only protect them in secret, while Fu Yuemei and the others would have tasks assigned by Lin Ran, and without exception, those tasks required them to find a way to kill their targets.

Those people were all villains that Lin Ran had found through Qiu Qingzi's intelligence network, and they had been roaming freely in the dangerous triangle area. They weren't very strong, but they were extremely troublesome.

Moreover, he was being lenient. A team of ten people working together to deal with one villain was ten against one. It was impossible for the opponent to be Ip Man, and for it to be one against ten, right?

Lin Ran had also considered assigning a mission to everyone, but considering that if some of them got into trouble, he wouldn't be able to protect them in time, and things could get really bad. He regretted not showing off and instead bringing more elders with him.

Because the Elders of Linghua Academy have always been in short supply, Lin Ran was thinking of not bringing any elders. Now it's a good thing, there are no people to use when needed, but fortunately, Xiao Chong is here and can fill in.

In a city within the dangerous triangle, on a dilapidated rooftop, Lin Ran and his son, along with Mu Shishuang, were on the top floor, looking out the window at a fierce battle taking place in a nearby alley.

Watching this battle, Lin Ran and his son, along with Mu Shishuang, frowned. It wasn't because the opponents were too strong, but because Fu Yuemei and her group fought in a chaotic manner. They had many opportunities to kill the flower thief with a single blow, but instead, they surrounded him with ten men and allowed him to escape the encirclement multiple times.

"Father, if I don't intervene, things might get out of hand, and we could suffer losses!" Lin Chong suggested from the side.

Lin Ran nodded helplessly, waved his hand and said, "Xiao Chong, go and kill that guy, then bring those idiots back!"

"I know, father!"

Lin Chong responded and leaped out of the window, transforming into a streak of blue light that hurtled towards the battlefield.

Lin Ran didn't need to watch the battle anymore. He sat down on a clean chair and was about to pour tea when a pair of fair hands grabbed the teapot and teacups and started pouring tea.

Lin Ran glanced at Mu Shishuang and then said nothing more. He had told Mu Shishuang many times not to do this, but the girl was very stubborn.

Sipping her tea, Lin Ran recalled the battle between her disciples and pondered where the problem lay. Just as Lin Ran was frowning in thought, Mu Shishuang suddenly spoke up, "If things continue like this, they might not make much progress even when they get to Canglong Academy. How about... we try something drastic?"

"What kind of potent medicine?"

Lin Ran was taken aback. He turned to look at Mu Shishuang, signaling her to continue.

Mu Shishuang said slowly:

"Put on a big show!"

"How to act?"

Lin Ran couldn't help but ask in return.

“We’ve been trapped by people in the danger triangle. We need Xiao Chong to come with them to rescue me so they can be safe. But Xiao Chong has to pretend to be injured and act along with us. However, we have to choose someone we can easily take advantage of,” Mu Shishuang said calmly.

"Your little brain is quite clever, let me think about it!"

Lin Ran thought this was a good idea. Without their trump card to save their lives, these kids might fight with all their might. It's just that choosing the right target is a bit difficult. He had wiped out too many small and medium-sized forces in the dangerous triangle area before.

Are there still soft persimmons that you can squeeze now?

.....

107. She's ruthless and doesn't talk much; when something happens, she really steps up.

The method Mu Shishuang mentioned was good, but finding a suitable candidate was quite difficult, and making the performance convincing was even more challenging.

Given the current situation, this method is probably not feasible, but it can be made into a backup plan. If their performance becomes really bad, then they will have no choice but to use it.

After Lin Chong dealt with the womanizer, he turned to look at Fu Yuemei and the others. He went to Fu Yuemei's side and, seeing her bloodied arm, took some pills and bandages from his spatial ring and placed them on her uninjured hand. He whispered, "Hurry up and bandage it. Be prepared for what's to come..."

"Brother Lin Chong... Master... is he very angry?!"

Fu Yuemei looked up at Lin Chong, her heart filled with dissatisfaction and resentment towards herself. The reason she hadn't been able to deal with the flower thief for so long was largely due to her soft-heartedness.

"I... I don't know how to say it... just relax and take it easy!"

Lin Chong recalled his father's terrible expression before he left. He was a little unsure about his father's temperament, but he was sure that Yuemei and the others would give him a good scolding. He could tell that the beating was so bad, so how could his father not see it?

After offering a few words of comfort to Yuemei, Lin Chong went to check on Xiaozhuang. He had made a group of friends with Xiaozhuang recently, and they had also suffered quite a few injuries. As a friend, he naturally wanted to go and check on them.

After treating the injuries, Lin Chong led Yue Mei and the others to quickly clean up the battlefield and then evacuate to a new location that his father had just informed him of.

During the evacuation, the atmosphere in the group was extremely somber. They all knew that their performance today had been absolutely terrible, and they also knew that they were about to face Lin Ran's reprimand.

As expected, when Fu Yuemei and the others arrived at the designated location, they saw Mu Shishuang standing at the door.
