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

136. I love you

Upon seeing those snow lotuses, glistening with dew, swaying and exuding their captivating charm, Lin Ran felt she had to do something, she absolutely had to do something.

Lin Ran stretched out her hand, looking at Shangguan Mengqing with sincere and passionate eyes, and said, "I'll take you somewhere!"

"Where?"

Without hesitation, Shangguan Mengqing placed her delicate hand in Lin Ran's hand, even though she didn't know where they were going.

Lin Ran smiled without saying a word. A golden light shone from their tightly clasped hands. After the golden light dissipated, their figures also disappeared from the spot.

In the space near the encampment, a figure emerged—it was Uncle Wu, dressed in an old Taoist robe. He looked at the encampment below with a puzzled expression, muttering to himself, "Why did Mengqing's aura suddenly disappear? Did someone attack her?"

Uncle Wu decided to wait a while. If Shangguan Mengqing's aura was still missing, then he would have to get serious. Even if he had to turn the entire Qianlong Mountain upside down, he had to find Shangguan Mengqing!

Huang Shishi came over to Shangguan Mengqing's tent to see if she was ready and to ask about the arrangements for today's in-depth exploration of Qianlong Mountain.

When Huang Shishi reached the tent entrance, he saw the empty tent and his expression froze. He hurriedly went inside the tent and looked around. There was a cup of warm tea on the table, but Shangguan Mengqing was not there.

He hurriedly ran out and found a Tianshan Sword Sect disciple who was packing his things nearby. He asked in a cold voice, "Have you seen the young sect master?"

"Young Sect Master?"

The disciple looked curiously at the tent behind Huang Shishi and said, "I just saw the young sect leader talking to Vice Dean Lin from Linghua Academy. Senior Brother Huang, didn't you see?"

Huang Shishi's expression changed, and he strode towards Linghua Academy with a very ugly look on his face. He seemed to be rushing to Linghua Academy to demand an explanation, and in fact, Huang Shishi did just that.

The external situation began to become somewhat chaotic due to Shangguan Mengqing's brief disappearance, but all of this could not affect Shangguan Mengqing and Lin Ran, who were in the main hall of the Liusu Palace for the time being.

The only influential spirit, the Flourishing Flower Palace, was also thrown outside the central hall, only able to listen to what was happening inside through the thick doors.

Fan Hua frowned, her ear pressed against the door, thinking to herself, "What are these two doing occupying this hall as soon as they came in? They seem to have come on strong. Could it be that Lin Ran's secret has been exposed and the two are about to fight?"

Others might not know about Lin Ran's scandalous affairs, but did Fan Hua not? She was starting to worry about Lin Ran. This little trash didn't have the strength of the Azure Emperor, yet he was doing things like the Azure Emperor. Sigh!

Inside the main hall of the Liusu Palace, Shangguan Mengqing looked around the hall and then at Lin Ran, who was standing close by, and said with a smile in her eyes, "You brought me into your territory, not to plot against me, are you?"

"How could I possibly beat you!"

Lin Ran gently squeezed the soft hand in his hand, and then with a little force, pulled Shangguan Mengqing into his arms. He removed the veil, and that beautiful, unparalleled face was revealed once again.

Looking into Meng Qing's eyes, which filled his vision, Lin Ran lowered his head and whispered, "I love you!"

"Ok!"

Shangguan Mengqing responded with a faint sound.

The next moment, Shangguan Mengqing felt her cherry lips being taken over. She couldn't help but wrap her slender arms around Lin Ran's neck, slowly close her eyes, and follow her heart to respond to Lin Ran, responding to the long-suppressed longing in her heart.

Have you ever heard the soft murmur of the snow lotus? Lin Ran will tell you, he has…

Or you might think that Lin Ran is lying. How could a snow lotus on a high mountain talk or even make a sound? It must be just a fantasy!

Perhaps that was just a fantasy?

Because of its beauty, Lin Ran himself couldn't believe that he could actually win the favor of that snow lotus. He could treat the snow lotus wantonly and savagely, and even though the petals were crushed and wrinkled, the snow lotus still bestowed its full treasures upon this warrior who was favored by her.

After what seemed like an eternity, the two, their breaths nearly catching in their throats, slowly separated. Lin Ran, panting heavily, looked at the stunningly beautiful woman before him and growled like a wild beast, "Meng Qing, I love you!"

Shangguan Mengqing's beautiful eyes rippled with tears. She didn't speak, but responded to Lin Ran with even more fervent actions. The snow lotus and the warrior she favored clashed once again, each wishing they could merge the other into their own flesh and blood.

Fan Hua, who had been eavesdropping through the gate, finally managed to hear some sounds coming from inside.

"bump!"

The door in front of her suddenly made a deep thud, startling Fan Hua.

She leaned back involuntarily, and after a while, she realized that it must have been the sound of one of them hitting the door. It sounded dull, but the force wasn't particularly strong.

Then, more and more sounds like that came from inside, making Fan Hua a little frightened. She thought to herself, "Shangguan Mengqing is really willing to fight. These two are fighting so fiercely, they might just tear this hall down!"

After a long while, the two people in the hall quieted down for a moment. They sat on the throne in the center of the hall, with Shangguan Mengqing sitting in Lin Ran's arms, and the two looked at each other.

Looking into Meng Qing's tender eyes, Lin Ran said once again, "I love you!"

"Ok!"

Shangguan Mengqing responded in the same way.

This caused Lin Ran to apply more force to his movements, and he reminded him, "It's your turn to speak!"

"Ok!"

Shangguan Mengqing is still the same.

Lin Ran stared at Shangguan Mengqing for a long time, then suddenly laughed and said, "Are you too embarrassed to tell me?"

He knew a little about Mengqing's thin skin; this little woman could be considered quite proud.

Shangguan Mengqing felt as if her mask had been ripped off. She turned her head to the side, not wanting anyone to see the panic in her eyes, and said coldly, "No!"

Lin Ran thought to herself: A woman who says one thing but means another.

He continued to press, "Then tell me!"

"say what?"

"say you Love Me!"

Shangguan Mengqing repeated it like a broken record: "Say you love me!"

Lin Ran: "..."

He was momentarily speechless, but looking at Shangguan Mengqing, who was holding her head high and unwilling to lower it, he couldn't help but find it amusing. He straightened Shangguan Mengqing's head and gave her another long "lesson".

After a long while, he finally let go. Looking at the somewhat dazed Shangguan Mengqing, he smiled and said, "Silly girl, it's okay. I'm willing to tell you for a lifetime that I love you, and I'll say it for you too!"

"Then... that must be two lifetimes!"

"Then let's do it for two lifetimes!" Lin Ran said with a smile.

The two snuggled together for a while, then Shangguan Mengqing suddenly changed her expression. With a cold face, she pressed down on Lin Ran's somewhat impatient hand, gave a soft snort, and then escaped from Lin Ran's embrace as lightly as the wind. "I haven't forgiven you yet, I can't let you, you old man, get away with it!"

Lin Ran looked at Shangguan Mengqing with a somewhat distressed expression, his eyes blazing with fury. Faced with such a gaze, Shangguan Mengqing felt inexplicably afraid. She straightened her clothes and explained in a low voice, "Sister Fanhua is outside the gate, and my sect's elders are all outside as well. I can't accompany an old man like you in your foolish ways. What if... I accidentally... Shangguan Fairy will have to change her title?"

Her neck was still flushed, and her beautiful eyes remained captivating; she was clearly suppressing something.

Lin Ran looked at Shangguan Mengqing, and he immediately calmed down. But looking at his "little monk," he couldn't help but smile wryly and said, "Shi Shuang and I really have nothing going on..."

"Consider it a lesson learned, and besides..."

Shangguan Mengqing, with her hair tied up and a smile on her lips, said, "Your strength is still at the peak of the Nirvana Realm, and you haven't made much progress in your Dao either. It seems you've been spending all your time playing with Qianyi, enjoying the company of beauties and forgetting all your worries!"

"I have been working hard to cultivate! It's just that I haven't found anything that can serve as a foundation for the Dragon Transformation Realm, like your secret realm core..." Lin Ran quickly explained, sensing the killing intent.

If this isn't explained clearly, people might think he's spending his days indulging in debauchery.

"Heh, and that matter with Mu Shishuang, you better handle it properly. If I see what happened yesterday again..."

Shangguan Mengqing, who had tied her hair in a neat ponytail, suddenly looked at Lin Ran coldly and said, "Then I'll have to take matters into my own hands and cripple you, you old man who ruined my reputation."

Lin Ran felt a sudden chill run down his lower body. His restless heart felt as if it had fallen into an ice cellar. It was good, at least the "little monk" was no longer interested.

"Of course... as long as you don't break our 'three rules,' I'll still be your fairy. If I'm in a good mood, I might even let you take advantage of me!" Shangguan Mengqing chuckled sweetly, then leaned in and gently pecked Lin Ran's lips.

"Is this a case of being given a blow and then a dozen sweet dates?" Lin Ran said.

"I guess so, but if we don't get out of here soon, you're probably going to be in trouble again!"

Shangguan Mengqing put her hands behind her back, winked at Lin Ran, and teased, "I have an elder of the Undying Realm following me. Now that I've disappeared for so long, and you've disappeared with me, guess what's going to happen outside?"

"Fuck!"

Lin Ran subconsciously uttered a phrase from the national treasure, and he quickly straightened his clothes and pulled Shangguan Mengqing along.

The two transformed into a golden light and disappeared from the main hall. Fan Hua, who had noticed Lin Ran's departure, hurriedly pushed open the door. She glanced at the overturned bookshelf, the books scattered all over the floor, and the messy main hall, her expression filled with exhaustion.

"I just cleaned up the main hall yesterday! Those wretched Lin Ran and Meng Qing!"

A furious voice echoed through the tassel palace.

……

137. Starting Again

Rewind to a short time ago, when Huang Shishi discovered that Shangguan Mengqing was missing and, according to eyewitnesses, the last person to have contact with her was Lin Ran from Linghua Academy, whether out of concern for Shangguan Mengqing or some other emotion, Huang Shishi rushed into Linghua Academy's tent to confront them.

"Where did your vice dean go? Why did he take my junior sister with him? Answer me!"

The questions grew louder and louder, the words more severe and colder than ever, like knives, their sharp glint leaving the students of Linghua Academy at a loss for how to respond to the somewhat intimidating Huang Shishi before them.

More and more people gathered nearby, and Yue Lei from Songling Academy also arrived. Seeing the young master from the Sword Sect with a cold and furious expression, and having learned the cause of the problem from his own students, he stepped forward, cupped his hands respectfully, and said, "Young Master Huang, isn't there some misunderstanding? Perhaps those two just found a place to spar?"

Huang Shishi's facial expression twitched slightly, the veins at the corners of his eyes throbbed, and he glared at Yue Lei through gritted teeth, saying, "Do you think I'm a fool?"

Yue Lei: "..."

How could I possibly consider you a fool? The question is, does Lin Ran have any reason to deal with Shangguan Mengqing? If she wanted to, she would have done so back in that secret realm. Why wait until now to make her move? Is she waiting for you to intervene?

If you can't find them, just wait. Maybe they'll come back in a while. Is there any need to put pressure on a bunch of students?

Huang Shishi took a deep breath and continued to stare at the group of students from Linghua Academy, demanding, "Tell me, where is your vice dean? Where did he take my junior sister?"

Fu Yuemei, Mulan, and the others exchanged glances, not daring to utter a sound. However, Mu Shishuang, who had been calmly observing the situation, suddenly stepped forward, her eyes flashing with a deep blue light as she stared at Huang Shishi and asked, "Are you so certain that our people took your junior sister away?"

Huang Shishi looked at the powerless woman, and when he met her eyes, he felt a chill run down his spine. He quickly looked away to feel better, and forced himself to say, "Then what else?"

In his opinion, Lin Ran must have used some means to take Shangguan Mengqing away. As for Shangguan Mengqing taking Lin Ran away, that was almost impossible. His junior sister would never be interested in an old man.

Mu Shishuang shook her head and didn't say anything more. People were already convinced that they were the ones who took the people away and that they were the ones who did the bad thing.

Whether or not it was your killer is no longer important, because if you don't give a response, the other party might kill you.

Elder Heng of the Tianshan Sword Sect approached Huang Shishi and inquired about the situation in a low voice. Then, she frowned and advised, "Young Master Huang, the young sect leader will probably return soon. After all, there are no signs of a battle. Given the young sect leader's strength, it's unlikely that Mr. Lin could forcibly take him away. Why don't we wait a little longer?"

Hwang Se-seok was now caught in the middle, feeling awkward and caught in the middle. He had no choice but to bite the bullet and was about to say, "Then let's wait a little longer..."

Before he could finish speaking, a clear laugh came from the forest, "So many people gathered here, making such a commotion, what's going on?"

Everyone looked over and saw Lin Ran and Shangguan Mengqing emerge from the forest together. Lin Ran walked in front, his clothes were a little disheveled, and his gait was a bit awkward, with him walking with a slight hunch.

Shangguan Mengqing had her hair tied in a ponytail, with her temples slightly disheveled. Her clothes were neat, but her eyes were not as indifferent and cold as usual. On the contrary, there was still a hint of charm in them.

Mu Shishuang was very observant, especially after learning that the two had some shady dealings that no one knew about. Now that she saw the two of them, how could she not know what they had been doing after disappearing for so long?
