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

Seeing Lin Ran's composure, Fan Hua angrily kicked Lin Ran's spirit body and shouted with her hands on her hips, "You brat, aren't you going to think of a solution? They'll tear down the Flowing Tassel Palace soon!"

"If I could think of a solution, would I be sitting here? You know me, I know absolutely nothing about matters of the soul." Lin Ran shrugged.

The last time he felt so powerless was when he faced Mu Shishuang. He had no way to deal with the old man who had invaded his soul, no matter how hard he racked his brains.

"It's really useless!"

Fan Hua nudged Lin Ran. She glanced at the scene outside. If the enemy couldn't break through after a long time, they might shift their target and try to disrupt Lin Ran's mental state. Letting these guys stay here was absolutely not an option.

“I have an idea, you should contact Mengqing!” Fan Hua said.

"What method is there? I should be able to get in touch with them!"

Lin Ran perked up immediately upon hearing there was a solution. Just as he was about to contact Shangguan Mengqing, Fan Hua's voice rang out: "Let Mengqing enter your soul ocean and help you deal with that old bastard!"

"What? Wouldn't that put Meng Qing in great danger?"

Lin Ran said, somewhat puzzled, "Isn't your method just like dragging Meng Qing into the quagmire as well?"

“She possesses the Mirror Moon Sacred Flame, which is extremely powerful against souls, and moreover…” Fan Hua seemed to have known this all along, and she brought out the words she had prepared beforehand.

She wasn't just making things up; she had a basis for it. The Holy Emperor Jingyue was a master of illusions and soul manipulation back then. How could her legacy not include these techniques for Shangguan Mengqing? The only uncertainty was how well Shangguan Mengqing had mastered these techniques.

If you are completely unfamiliar with it, then you might make a mistake.

But if it's Shangguan Mengqing, she shouldn't be that unreliable, right?

After hearing Fan Hua's words, Lin Ran hesitated somewhat, but ultimately couldn't make up her mind.

Seeing this, Fan Hua was really anxious. Just as she was about to say something, a loud noise suddenly broke out outside, and then the entire Liusu Palace shook uncontrollably.

Fan Hua quickly opened the external screen and saw a giant demonic insect wielding a scythe and constantly striking the tassel palace, while other demonic insects and poisonous creatures began to gnaw at Lin Ran's mental sea.

These demonic insects and poisonous creatures stirred up Lin Ran's spiritual ocean into chaos, and Lin Ran's soul body couldn't help but clutch its head, letting out painful roars as it rolled on the floor of the hall, but this did not alleviate the pain that penetrated deep into its soul.

"Lin Ran!"

Fan Hua exclaimed in surprise. She quickly activated the Tassel Palace. The golden Tassel Palace once again burst forth with dazzling golden light. A wave of golden light cleared away the demonic insects and poisons that were destroying Lin Ran's spiritual sea.

The old man tapped his cane gently, and then countless tiny demonic insects appeared, seemingly endless.

"Give up the resistance. Even if you hide inside this turtle shell, it won't make any difference!"

The old man's hoarse voice echoed in the sea of ​​consciousness. He laughed wildly, "My little guys can grow stronger by absorbing souls. Your soul power is a great supplement for my little guys. Just hide. Once my little guys have evolved, you will surely die!"

"I never imagined that I, Fiodor, would one day be able to slay the Azure Emperor, even if I'm just a successor..."

For Fiord, Lin Ran was already his for the taking. If the other ray of light hadn't missed, he felt he could have killed another inheritor, and then he, Fiord, would have been bathed in the supreme glory of the Lord!

As Lin Ran's clear spiritual ocean was almost completely covered by demonic insects and poisonous creatures, suddenly, Fiord felt a bone-chilling killing intent that almost made his soul tremble.

Fiodor was about to turn around when he found that his soul was locked in place. A deep blue light flashed, and Fiodor felt his soul core being shattered in one blow.

"How...how did you get in..."

Fiord looked at the deep blue figure in front of him with some confusion. It was the successor of the Mirror Moon Holy Emperor, whom he had just been fantasizing about killing.

He was able to enter Lin Ran's mind through special means, but how did he do it?

"This is my home. I can come and go as I please. Isn't it easy for me to leave whenever I want?"

Shangguan Mengqing coldly shouted, "Take your demonic insects and poisonous creatures and get out of here!"

She rarely felt this angry, and this time, she didn't choose to control her emotions. From her spirit body, deep blue flames, like a vast blue sea, washed over Lin Ran's mental ocean. The raging demonic insects and poisonous creatures, along with Fiode himself, were completely unable to escape after being enveloped by the deep blue flames, and in the blink of an eye, they all turned into nothingness.

Even Shangguan Mengqing didn't interrogate Fiodor about why he was in that swamp. She didn't care about those things; the only thing she cared about from beginning to end was that one thing.

Shangguan Mengqing arrived in front of the Liusu Palace. The next moment, the palace gates opened, and Shangguan Mengqing rushed into the main hall. Soon, she saw the figure next to the flowers.

"Lin Ran!"

Shangguan Mengqing gasped and stepped forward to hug Lin Ran, who was in a spirit state. At this moment, Lin Ran's spirit body appeared relatively transparent, indicating that her spirit body was in a weak state, and Lin Ran was thus forced into a dormant state.

Fan Hua, who was standing to the side, looked at Lin Ran and then at Meng Qing, and said, "Lin Ran is fine. She just has a lot of depleted soul power. With some pills, she can replenish it quickly. Don't worry!"

"Thank you, Fan Hua!"

Shangguan Mengqing looked up at Fan Hua, then lowered her head to stroke Lin Ran's face, saying to herself, "This fool didn't have the ability but insisted on taking that blow for me, and ended up looking like this. Are all old men this stupid?"

Perhaps... he's not stupid, he just loves you...

Fan Hua shrugged like Lin Ran and laughed, "I suggested that I contact you and let you enter his soul ocean, but he was afraid that you would encounter danger. He probably didn't even expect that you had already sneaked in."

"is it?"

A smile involuntarily appeared on Shangguan Mengqing's face. That smile, as beautiful and captivating as a night-blooming cereus, instantly made the hall dazzling.

She couldn't help but lean down and gently tap Lin Ran's cheek: "Haven't you always wanted to hear me say 'I love you'?"

"Then I'll say it now. If you didn't hear it, then it's your problem!"

"I love you!"

……

"where is this?"

Yue Lei groggily woke up from his sleep, only to be met with the dazzling sunlight shining down from above. He squinted and rubbed his temples.

After he got used to it, Yue Lei looked around and found that he was on a soft grassy field with a pool of water at his feet.

"It seems we encountered that pink mist, and then..."

Yue Lei suddenly realized something, and his expression changed. He quickly stood up, wanting to find his students, but as soon as he stood up, he found a large group of people lying scattered behind him, including students from Songling Academy, Linghua Academy, and Tianshan Sword Sect.

Even Elder Heng, who was at the Dragon Transformation Realm of the Tianshan Sword Sect, was among them. However, Elder Heng quickly woke up and saw his sect's disciples around him, as well as Yue Lei standing there. The two stared at each other, somewhat bewildered.

"Hey, has someone already woken up?"

A voice rang out from the depths of the pool, and three figures walked toward them. One of the old men was unfamiliar, but he seemed to be the protector of the Sword Sect on this trip.

The other two dishes were already very familiar to Lin Ran and Shangguan Mengqing.

Lin Ran stood on the shore, patted Yue Lei with a smile, and said, "You owe me a favor. If it weren't for me, you might be dead!"

"Holy crap, really? What happened?"

Having spent so much time with Lin Ran, Yue Lei sometimes started using such catchphrases in his speech, which is somewhat like being influenced by bad company.

Lin Ran shook her head and smiled, "Let's talk about it later. We can tell it as a story on the way when the children wake up!"

Immediately afterward, Lin Ran looked at Elder Heng, stepped forward, cupped her hands, and said, "Elder Heng, are you alright? Check if any of your sect's disciples are in any danger. I was in such a hurry to save people that I was afraid of hurting the children!"

"I want to thank you, Mr. Lin, for myself and for the children!" Elder Heng said with utmost sincerity, bowing his hands in gratitude.

This immediately boosted Lin Ran's vanity. She scratched her head and said modestly, "Not at all, not at all. A large part of this is thanks to Miss Shangguan. I was just doing odd jobs!"

Yue Lei put his arm around Lin Ran's shoulder and noticed that Lin Ran's face was a little pale and her eyes seemed listless. He couldn't help but ask curiously, "Lin Ran, you don't look very energetic?"

"Who's got energy after the battle? Go check on your kids, get out of here!" Lin Ran cursed, shooing the guy away.

Seeing this, Shangguan Mengqing couldn't help but smile. She turned to Uncle Wu, cupped her hands, and said, "Thank you for waiting for me there, Uncle Wu. I'm sorry to have troubled you!"

"It's nothing, on the contrary, I should thank you. Your personal abilities have saved Uncle Wu a lot of trouble!" Uncle Wu stroked his beard and suddenly transmitted his voice, "Uncle Wu has some things he won't tell the sect leader!"

Shangguan Mengqing was taken aback, then suddenly asked, "Mengqing, I don't understand what Uncle Wu is talking about!"

……

145. Why are you thanking me?!

"Sigh, was the expression too subtle? Couldn't the young sect leader understand the implied meaning?"

Uncle Wu couldn't help but start to doubt himself. He thought about how to phrase his words to express his loyalty to the young sect leader.

"Uncle Wu!" Shangguan Mengqing called out.

"What's wrong, Young Sect Master?" Uncle Wu looked over with some curiosity.

Looking at Lin Ran's figure, Shangguan Mengqing's eyes flashed with a sly glint. She calmly said, "Uncle Wu, you can tell my master everything that happened here."

"In detail?!"

Uncle Wu looked extremely surprised. He glanced at Lin Ran out of the corner of his eye and said, puzzled, "Young Sect Master, is this really necessary? Won't the Sect Master be furious?"

"Given Master's personality, he probably will!"

Shangguan Mengqing continued with a smile in her eyes, "But I'm confident I can handle it. Uncle Wu, you just need to do your job normally. Mengqing, I'm sorry to have troubled you!"

After speaking, Shangguan Mengqing bowed politely to Uncle Wu to express her gratitude.

Seeing this, Uncle Wu didn't say much. He tugged at his beard, his eyes darting back and forth between Shangguan Mengqing and Lin Ran. Finally, he sighed and agreed, "I understand, young sect leader. Please be careful on your journey ahead!"

“I understand, Uncle Wu!” Shangguan Mengqing replied.

Uncle Wu nodded, casually tore open a spatial rift, and plunged inside.

Shangguan Mengqing also walked ashore and went to Lin Ran's side. After glancing at her casually, she kicked Lin Ran, who was half-squatting, with her shoe, causing Lin Ran to turn around in confusion.

Before Lin Ran could ask anything, Shangguan Mengqing turned and walked away as if nothing had happened, her light words echoing in Lin Ran's mind: "Remember to take the pills I gave you, and we can't be so intimate anymore, or people will notice!"

Hearing this, Lin Ran broke out in a cold sweat. She instinctively looked up at the sky, where the pink mist had disappeared, and asked with lingering fear, "How much do you know?"

"I don't know!"

Shangguan Mengqing watched Lin Ran's little actions with a smile in her eyes, and said calmly, "I heard it's going to reach my master's ears!"

hiss~

Lin Ran couldn't help but gasp. He felt a chill run down his spine. He had already imagined that Meng Qing's master had used his extraordinary abilities to kill him, this old man, across several continents. He had even dared to lay a hand on her disciple. He was furious and wanted to die!

Lin Ran's Adam's apple bobbed as he looked at Shangguan Mengqing, who was pacing back and forth watching the scene, with a hint of resentment. He said, feeling wronged, "Aren't you going to help your man?"

"I tried my best, but you were too eager and dragged me down with you!"

"Where did I get the lust? You kissed me first, and even stuck your tongue out!" Lin Ran decided to argue about this matter.

Hearing Lin Ran's blunt words, Shangguan Mengqing's fair face beneath her veil flushed slightly. She snorted and said coldly, "You despicable scoundrel, all you do is spout nonsense!"

Lin Ran: "..."

He really wants to open his mouth right now and kiss your fake aloof fairy lips until they're swollen and you can't speak!

……

The people in the group gradually woke up. Apart from losing their memories of being trapped in the pink mist, they were physically unharmed.
