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

Lin Ran shook his head, and with the help of Meng Qing's power, he was able to stand in the air again.

"Master, are you okay?"

A voice rang out from the cliff edge, and Fu Yuemei and Mu Shishuang peeked out to look at the two people standing on the river.

Lin Ran turned around and waved her hand, saying, "I'm fine. You should take Shi Shuang back quickly, it's dangerous here!"

"it is good!"

Fu Yuemei nodded obediently, then dragged Mu Shishuang back with her.

The giant continued to exude a heavy pressure, and Shangguan Mengqing did not dare to let go of Lin Ran's hand. She had just been thinking about dealing with the Void Evil Clan attached to the giant, which delayed her.

Lin Ran turned to look at Shangguan Mengqing and said with a wry smile, "What exactly is this thing?!"

Looking up at the giant, Shangguan Mengqing, her eyes blazing with deep blue flames, calmly said, "I'll deal with it, and perhaps then I'll know!"

"what?"

Lin Ran said worriedly, "Meng Qing, don't do anything dangerous!"

Shangguan Mengqing turned her head and glanced at Lin Ran. Suddenly, she reached out and pulled Lin Ran into her arms. Then, she turned Lin Ran around and gently hit her back.

"Hey!"

Lin Ran felt a force strike his back, and his body flew out, landing directly on the edge of the cliff on the opposite bank. He had just landed and regained his balance when he was about to shout at Shangguan Mengqing, but it was too late…

Because Shangguan Mengqing had already transformed into a deep blue streak of light, wielding the Autumn Rain Sword, and crashed straight into the giant. At that moment, the dazzling deep blue light overshadowed the sun's rays, so bright that it was impossible for anyone to open their eyes.

When Lin Ran was able to open her eyes again, the giant was enveloped in the burning of the Mirror Moon Holy Flame. This Mirror Moon Holy Flame, ranked fourth on the Heavenly Fire Ranking, demonstrated its powerful killing power against the Void Evil Clan. The dark red mud covering the giant's body turned into dark red light spots and dissipated into the sky under the burning of the Mirror Moon Holy Flame.

Lin Ran looked into the giant's eyes, and whether it was his imagination or not, he saw a hint of liberation in those huge, purple-gold eyes.

As the Mirror Moon Holy Flame burned, the giant's skin, fur, and flesh gradually contracted amidst the intense heat, and a glimmer of purple-gold light seemed to flash within the flames.

Shangguan Mengqing appeared not far from the giant, staring at it, and the two seemed to be communicating in some way.

A hint of surprise flashed in Shangguan Mengqing's eyes, but she quickly suppressed it. After a while, she suddenly nodded, and the giant, seeing Shangguan Mengqing's action, actually nodded in response.

The giant's eyes slowly closed, and his enormous right fist, which had been outstretched, fell limply to the ground, allowing the Holy Flame of the Mirror Moon to consume his entire body, as if he had already accomplished his mission...

……

140. Purple-gold blood

The deep blue flames continued to burn within the mountain wall, melting the surrounding walls, but the giant's body remained steadfast.

That's the Mirror Moon Sacred Flame, ranked fourth on the Heavenly Flame Ranking. It's a legendary heavenly flame. Even though Shangguan Mengqing's current strength isn't enough to unleash the full power of the Mirror Moon Sacred Flame, and the Mirror Moon Sacred Flame doesn't have extremely high temperature characteristics, that doesn't mean its power can be ignored.

The fact that this giant could withstand being burned by heavenly fire for so long without any resistance is enough to prove its incredibly strong physique and makes people even more curious about its origins.

Fu Yuemei tugged at Lin Ran's sleeve and asked curiously, "Master, what is the origin of that giant?"

"I don't know anything about its origins either!"

Lin Ran smiled and shook her head. She patted Fu Yuemei's head and pointed at Shangguan Mengqing, saying, "After Shangguan is done with her work, I'll ask her and then I'll give you the answer!"

"it is good!"

Fu Yuemei nodded seriously. Her gaze fell on Shangguan Mengqing, who stood in mid-air, and then on her master. She was a little curious. She felt that her master and the Sword Sect Fairy had a very different relationship, but she didn't dare to ask and could only think about it in her heart.

Shangguan Mengqing stood in mid-air, intently watching the changes in the giant's body. As the giant's body gradually emitted a purple-gold light, she immediately took out more than a dozen jade bottles used to hold pills from her spatial ring.

They were supported by deep blue spiritual energy, circling around Shangguan Mengqing. Shangguan Mengqing's eyes turned deep blue, and her hands were enveloped in deep blue flames. She waved her hands towards the giant, as if playing a musical instrument with great rhythm.

From the giant's body, drops of purplish-gold blood, enveloped in flames, were fed into the jade bottle one by one.

When Lin Ran saw the blood, his blood boiled once again, and his undying heart beat faster, each powerful beat a cry of longing for that blood.

If Lin Ran wasn't entirely sure before, upon seeing the blood, she knew that the giant was definitely a demon, though she wasn't sure which branch of the demon race it belonged to. However, she was certain that no demon race currently possessed such a giant's physique.

Shangguan Mengqing made one of the jade bottles float to her side. Before she even touched it, she felt an extremely violent energy surging within her.

"The energy contained in this blood is astonishing..."

Shangguan Mengqing dared not touch the blood any further. She set up a thin, dark blue barrier on all the jade bottles as a seal to prevent the energy in the blood from leaking out.

She put all the jade bottles into her spatial ring. The giant had been reduced to a skeleton after she burned it. Even people who didn't know the giant would know that it was definitely a treasure.

Although the giant was sitting inside the mountain wall, his body was more than ten meters tall. After his flesh and blood were burned to ashes by the Mirror Moon Holy Flame, the remaining skeleton shone with a dazzling purple-gold light.

Under the sunlight, the skeleton reflected a dazzling light, a rose-like, vibrant purple-gold color, carrying a heavy and profound aura.

The light is most dazzling on the giant's chest; once you look there, it's hard to look away.

Because it was a huge heart, like an amethyst, covered with wondrous purple-gold runes, and emanating an extremely powerful life energy.

Upon seeing the giant's true form, even Uncle Wu, who had been hiding in the shadows, couldn't sit still any longer. He quickly revealed himself, and a pale blue energy fluctuation emanated from his body and spread outwards.

Within this area of ​​several dozen miles, a faint blue protective barrier has formed.

Uncle Wu landed beside Shangguan Mengqing, his face serious. He leaned close to Shangguan Mengqing and whispered, "Young Sect Master, you should quickly take all these treasures away, lest things get complicated!"

"I see!"

Shangguan Mengqing nodded. This was her original plan. The remaining skeleton and the heart had other uses.

"That young sect leader..."

Uncle Wu glanced casually at Lin Ran and her large group in the forest below, then said, "Should I erase their memories? To prevent them from leaking information and causing trouble for us!"

"Uncle Wu, there's no need for that. I believe they'll know what to do, and I'll take appropriate measures to ensure they don't talk about it," Shangguan Mengqing said softly.

Uncle Wu nodded and didn't say anything more. He had been told by his superiors that everything on this trip would be based on the young sect leader's orders.

Moreover, the young sect leader himself has already done an exceptionally good job, so this old man doesn't need to interfere much.

After Shangguan Mengqing put the giant's skeleton into her secret realm space, Uncle Wu disappeared once again, and the protective barrier covering dozens of miles around was also removed.

As soon as Shangguan Mengqing landed on the edge of the cliff, Lin Ran immediately came up to her and said loyally, "Shangguan, you put in a lot of effort this time, and I, Lin, will definitely not take the fruits of your labor!"

"Me too, me too..."

Yue Lei quickly followed and, upon reaching Lin Ran's side, flattered her with a smile, saying, "Our Songling Academy is absolutely tight-lipped and will not speak carelessly!"

Shangguan Mengqing glanced at Lin Ran and said telepathically, "What a pretentious old man!"

Lin Ran: "..."

If I don't put on an act, I feel like your people could kill me with their eyes.

On the surface, Shangguan Mengqing was very polite and courteous, and even used pills to attack, so that everyone present could get a bottle of pills of good quality.

Suddenly, everyone's attitude towards Shangguan Mengqing changed. If some people still harbored resentment before, it dissipated considerably.

Why be angry when there are free pills to be had? They don't understand those other things anyway, and even if they got them, they might not be able to use them. But these pills are different, and they're not bad either. What more could you ask for?

After this little incident, everyone happily continued on their way. Because of the giant incident, a lot of time had been wasted, and it got dark quickly before they had traveled far.

Spending the night in Qianlong Mountain is extremely dangerous, but with the core members of their team and the Undying Realm experts secretly protecting the Sword Sect, the danger should be reduced considerably.

After finding a relatively safe area, the group quickly set up camp and scattered various medicinal powders around the camp to reduce the risk of being attacked by monsters.

Lin Ran and the others didn't light a fire tonight. Although they had the ability to deal with the dangers, they still used oil lamps or lighting beads to avoid any accidents. If they were craving something, they could only eat dried meat.

Lin Ran sat in front of his tent, chewing on dried meat. Across from him at his small table sat Mulan, on which lay a map and an oil lamp. The dim light illuminated Mulan's scarred face, giving it a unique charm.

Mulan pointed to the map and analyzed, "Mr. Lin, we need to speed things up tomorrow so that we can get through this jungle by morning."

Lin Ran looked at the location Mulan pointed to on the map, marked with a red circle and the word "Danger" written on it. He asked curiously, "What danger is there here?"

“There are many dangers here, including high-level monsters, but the problem may not lie with the monsters themselves, but with the strange plants in this area, the man-eating flowers, and the bizarre tree spirits that use living people to fish. There are many other such things that have not yet been discovered. In short, it’s very eerie!” Mulan said seriously.

Is this place really that dangerous?

A clear, cold voice came from behind.

Lin Ran and Mulan couldn't help but look over. The newcomer was dressed in white, with a unique and ethereal aura that only Shangguan Mengqing possessed.

"sit down!"

Lin Ran took out a stool and placed it next to her. Shangguan Mengqing didn't stand on ceremony and gracefully sat down on the chair.

When Mulan saw Shangguan Mengqing, she scratched her head, not expecting this fairy from the Sword Sect to come.

That night, when Mulan saw the woman's stunning beauty, she felt a pang of inferiority. She was truly an exceptionally perfect woman, so perfect that she seemed like a celestial being from heaven, not one of them, mere mortals.

Pulling herself back to reality, Mulan reiterated the dangers of this area to Lin Ran and Shangguan Mengqing. After understanding the situation, Shangguan Mengqing offered her advice: "Then tomorrow we'll proceed in tight formation. Don't worry about the poisonous miasma in the jungle; I have the appropriate powder to effectively avoid it, and also..."

Shangguan Mengqing's suggestions were very thoughtful, covering almost every aspect and including concrete and feasible methods. Mulan, on the other hand, took notes, feeling that some of these methods could provide her with a lot of help in her future mercenary career.

After the discussion was over, Mulan left first, leaving only Lin Ran and Shangguan Mengqing.

Lin Ran was very clever. He looked around and, seeing that no one was paying attention, his left hand, hanging down, moved cautiously toward the target like a soldier lurking behind enemy lines. Then he quickly struck and successfully slipped his hand into Shangguan Mengqing's soft little hand.

Feeling the soft, boneless flesh in her hand, and looking at the crowd chatting and drinking together, Lin Ran felt a sense of pride.

Shangguan Mengqing tilted her head slightly, looked at Lin Ran with a smile in her eyes, and calmly asked, "How are you feeling?"

"I feel great!" Lin Ran said sincerely.

If he ever has that kind of power in the future, he must hold Shangguan Mengqing's hand and go to the Sword Sect for a stroll, just to show off a bit.

"Old man, you've gotten a good deal, but you have to do something for me!" Shangguan Mengqing said softly.

"Of course I'll help you! For the sake of our great friendship, I'll definitely help!" Lin Ran said firmly.

Seeing Lin Ran's confident demeanor, Shangguan Mengqing's smile deepened. She suddenly reached out and wrapped her arms around Lin Ran's neck, leaned close to Lin Ran's ear, and breathed warm air into Lin Ran's ear with a slightly flushed face. Her magnetic and captivating voice rang in Lin Ran's ear: "We'll talk about that later. You should take care of what's in front of you first. You're already this age, and you're still so fickle. You old man!"

Shangguan Mengqing, like a white breeze, embraced Lin Ran, and then gently left a moment later.

Lin Ran stared at Shangguan Mengqing's retreating figure, still unsure of Shangguan Mengqing's intentions. But as Shangguan Mengqing's white figure moved away, Mu Shishuang, who was standing there, was revealed.

Lin Ran immediately understood what Shangguan Mengqing meant.

Give them a taste of their own medicine!

.....

141. You forced me to do it!
