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

Lin Chong and his companions will travel with the academy's teachers to the Ji Dynasty and take a space tunnel to Jiezhou. Lin Ran, on the other hand, actually departed almost half a month later.

As for space tunnels, they are a very convenient and successful invention because there are very strong spatial barriers and chaotic spatial turbulence between states.

Even those at the Nirvana Realm level wouldn't dare to forcefully traverse the terrifying spatial turbulence between states with their physical bodies. That turbulent energy could instantly turn a person into dust, and if one didn't know the way, it would be easy to get lost in this unstable space and ultimately perish.

A space tunnel, on the other hand, involves finding a stable spatial node, building a very solid passage, and then using a space vehicle to successfully reach Jiezhou.

The Ji Dynasty already had a space tunnel, and it was very safe. Powerful individuals familiar with spatial abilities frequently came to maintain and repair the tunnel.

As for space vehicles, they are available for rent over there, while some people prefer to use their own more advanced ones, like cars. There are cheap rentals available, but the speed experience might not be as good.

But if you bring your own high-end vehicle, it's like someone else is traveling in a cheap car while you're driving a luxury RV—that immediately creates a huge difference.

According to Lin Ran's current estimate, it will take two or three weeks to get to Donghua Pass. Then, it will take even longer to travel by flying beast. During this time, he can only pass the time by practicing arduous cultivation.

After traveling by carriage for some time, enduring wind and rain, Lin Ran finally arrived at Donghua Pass. Instead of heading to the "airport" immediately, he found a place to write a letter and went to the Jinling Chamber of Commerce. Using the token given to him by Li Yuhan, he ordered the people of the Jinling Chamber of Commerce in Donghua Pass to send the letter, which conveyed his message of safety, back to the Lin family.

Because of this trip, I don't know when I'll be able to return.

After doing all this, Lin Ran arrived at the "airport" in the fantasy world. On the vast and flat ground, many huge flying monsters were obediently parked in place, and some staff members were feeding them, which was equivalent to refueling the plane.

The "airport" was extremely noisy, almost like it was going to shatter your eardrums. Lin Ran looked for the ticket office. It was past the peak season, so there weren't many people riding flying monsters. Lin Ran easily bought a ticket.

Looking at the ticket in her hand, which said "Luxury Room," even Lin Ran couldn't help but laugh. She thought to herself, "There weren't so many fancy things when flying with magical beasts before. I didn't expect that now they'd have economy class, business class, and premium business class, huh?"

Lin Ran found the flying monster to the Ji Dynasty, but he didn't expect the queue to be so long. There were even "airport" staff checking tickets on the monster. If this were his old world, he would definitely be playing on his phone, but sorry, this is a fantasy world, so he could only look around boredly.

After Lin Ran's ticket was checked, the staff member, seeing that Lin Ran had the highest-level ticket, immediately changed his expression from one of disdain, as if someone owed him money, to one of utmost respect. He quickly called over a voluptuous woman and instructed, "Xiao Lan, come and greet this gentleman!"

"Sir, please follow me!"

The woman named Xiao Lan approached Lin Ran and gestured for her to follow her. Lin Ran followed the maid and looked at the flying monster. Using some special method, many houses had been built that would not cause any problems even when flying. These houses were further divided into many small rooms.

Moreover, Lin Ran could vaguely sense that those houses seemed to be reinforced by array formations, obviously for safety reasons.

The maid named Xiao Lan probably knew that Lin Ran was in the luxury room and was a wealthy person, so she always walked in front of her in a very strange posture, deliberately showing off her hot and sexy curves.

However, Lin Ran had no interest in this. When the maid led him to his room, he casually dismissed the maid with the resentful look in her eyes.

Lin Ran looked around the house. It had everything one could need, and the decorations were quite exquisite and luxurious. Even the fabric of the curtains was extraordinary. The array placed on the house provided maximum soundproofing, privacy, and security.

"Is this the kind of enjoyment that comes with paying money? I've never flown business class before, but I can experience it in this fantasy world!" Lin Ran couldn't help but think.

After some time, Lin Ran was informed that the plane was about to take off, and a lot of food and drinks were sent to her in advance, which made Lin Ran sigh with gratitude.

With a long roar to the sky, the flying beast flapped its wings and took flight. After the initial turbulence, once it reached a certain altitude, it flew steadily. From Lin Ran's position, looking out the window, he could still see the scenery of the sky outside. It was almost dusk when he took off, and the crimson sunset on the horizon was so beautiful that it filled him with many emotions. Whenever he saw such a beautiful scene, he couldn't help but sigh:

"So... I really did time travel, and I've traveled to this fantasy world where I have family, friends, and loved ones."

To achieve the life he dreams of, he must strive to become stronger.

Lin Ran hurriedly began meditating and cultivating on the bed, striving to become stronger as soon as possible so that he could go to the Central Region, pry open the gates of the Spirit Clan, and rescue his foolish wife.

……

Chapter Seventy: Strange Events in the Ji Dynasty (4K)

Lin Ran never expected that after flying for so long, he wouldn't encounter any clueless guys who would engage in high-altitude combat, crash, survive with serious injuries, be rescued by a beautiful girl, develop feelings for each other, and have a wonderful encounter.

As it turns out, he still doesn't have that protagonist-like quality where trouble follows wherever he goes.

That's true, life doesn't always offer so many surprises. Most people live ordinary, uneventful lives.

After a month of arduous training, staff came to inform Lin Ran that they would soon arrive at Jishui, the capital of the Ji Dynasty, and reminded her not to go out and to stay in her room.

Standing by the window of his room, Lin Ran could see a massive town below, almost as big as a first-tier city in his previous world. This made Lin Ran marvel at the strength of the Ji Dynasty. With a capital city even more magnificent than the Li Dynasty, it was no wonder that the Ji Dynasty was one of the top powers in the province.

The flying monster slowly descended and landed on the huge and vast "airport". Soon, a staff member came over and gently knocked on Lin Ran's door, saying softly, "Hello sir, we have arrived at Ji Shui, the final destination of this journey!"

Lin Ran opened the door, and a sexy and alluring woman stood at the entrance, guiding Lin Ran down through the VIP passage. A carriage that had been prepared in advance was also waiting to take Lin Ran to the city center of Jishui.

Sitting in the carriage, Lin Ran pulled back the curtain and looked outside. Many carriages were waiting outside the airport like taxis. Many people got off and went up to discuss the price. Some people argued heatedly. As for him, being picked up and dropped off by a private car was indeed quite enjoyable.

"It's good to be rich!" Lin Ran shook her head with a laugh.

Because the "airport" is quite far from the city center, Lin Ran was taken aback by the bustling city when her carriage entered the city. The crowds were dense, the commerce was thriving, and there were even special roads and sidewalks for carriages, which gave it the outline of a modern metropolis.

Lin Ran was starting to wonder if he was the only one who had traveled through time.

The carriage arrived at the hotel that the "airport" had specially provided for luxury rooms. According to the staff, you could stay for a week and then have to pay to extend your stay.

After arriving at the hotel, Lin Ran turned around and went out again, determined to explore just how magnificent the capital of the Ji Dynasty was.

"Hey bro, wanna have some weapons forged? My blacksmithing skills are top-notch!"

"Hey sir, want to try my tofu? My nickname is 'Tofu Beauty,' my tofu is absolutely delicious, wanna give it a try..."

"Brother, would you like to..."

As Lin Ran walked down the street, she heard many shouts and calls from both sides. There were even some women who were engaged in prostitution, soliciting customers and pulling and tugging at each other to see who could offer the lowest price and the best service.

This really scared Lin Ran. "Sister, is your business this competitive? You're already starting to compete in the middle of the afternoon? Does this industry also have to engage in price wars?"

Lin Ran asked around to find out where the most famous and bustling teahouse in the area was, planning to go there to gather information. This had become his habit; when arriving at a new place, he would first gather information, because if he didn't do his homework beforehand, he could easily get ripped off.

However, when Lin Ran arrived at what was said to be the most bustling teahouse in the area, she was still a little shocked. It was noisy and chaotic, with all sorts of people, and the teahouse was like a small martial arts world.

"Sir, what kind of seat would you like? Whether you prefer a lively atmosphere or a quiet one, we have it all!" A waiter greeted Lin Ran with a smile as she entered the shop.

Lin Ran rubbed her chin, thought for a moment, then tossed a few silver coins to the waiter and said, "Give me a relatively quiet spot by the window, and bring me some side dishes. The rest is a tip."

"Alright, please follow me, sir!"

The waiter was surprised to encounter such a generous customer; usually, not many customers are so easygoing.

As the waiter led Lin Ran up to the second floor, Lin Ran noticed several large wooden boards in the center of the first floor of the teahouse, with many sheepskins nailed to them. Various requests and rewards were written on the sheepskins.

This piqued Lin Ran's curiosity, and she couldn't help but ask the waiter, "What are those boards on the first floor of your teahouse?"

The waiter paused for a moment, then seemed to realize something and smiled, "Sir, is this your first time here? This is one of the special features of our Yong'an Teahouse."

We have people from all over the world gathered here, and many of them must have various needs. If you want to help, you can post your request here after our review.

If someone accepts the request, Yong'an Teahouse will charge a fee and provide a place for you to communicate and negotiate.

"Interesting. Perhaps we could have Li Yuhan do this kind of work in the future..." Lin Ran thought to herself.

This actually takes over some of the work of the mercenary guild. After all, the mercenary guild of the Li Dynasty also does this, but it is relatively limited. This one has many aspects. You can also post a job posting to hire a runner here. The mercenary guild may not necessarily have anyone who wants to do a runner.

"This wall panel says 'Yong'an Teahouse,' is it a task posted by your teahouse? I saw one with a very high reward, and it's even in spirit stones." Lin Ran immediately noticed the most eye-catching board, the task at the very top. There was no way to resist such a big poster, and the amount of money was just too tempting.

Tens of thousands of high-grade spirit stones—that's a huge sum of money! Lin Ran was even tempted to take on the mission.

"Ah, sir, you understand correctly. Those were indeed posted by our Yong'an Teahouse. However, we still advise you to avoid the task at the very top that offers a reward of spirit stones..." the waiter advised.

"Oh, why is that?" Lin Ran suddenly became curious.

The waiter glanced around and told Lin Ran to go upstairs to a quieter place before he explained things to her.

Lin Ran went to a window seat and opened it to look outside. The view was indeed excellent, allowing her to clearly see many details of the street, which made Lin Ran quite satisfied.

The waiter poured tea for Lin Ran and stood respectfully to the side, whispering, "This mission was issued by our teahouse owner. His beloved daughter is a student of the five major academies. She was going back to the academy some time ago, so she took the space tunnel, but some madmen destroyed the space tunnel."

This caused instability in the space tunnel, resulting in violent spatial turbulence and rare spatial storms within it. The fate of those who entered the tunnel is currently unknown!

"what?!"

Upon hearing this news, Lin Ran crushed the teacup in her hand. Ignoring the tea dripping from her hands, she hurriedly asked, "What about the new students from the five major academies? Could they be in this batch too?"

Lin Ran even slipped a gold coin to the waiter and said very seriously, "Could you tell me all these details?"

When the waiter saw the gold coins in his hand, his eyes widened, and he quickly put them into his pocket. He answered all of Lin Ran's questions without reservation.

Hearing that the new students of the five major academies had entered the space tunnel earlier than this time and had successfully arrived in Jiezhou, he breathed a slight sigh of relief. However, he still needed to go to Jiezhou to see Lin Chong in person before he could feel at ease. He would have to find out if Lin Chong was alive or dead. He should have asked Li Yuhan to bring one back; he had overlooked this.

"Is there any other way to get to Jiezhou now?" Lin Ran asked.

"That's why I advised you not to accept this mission," the waiter said, still a little frightened as he recalled some things. "The space tunnel was damaged before. Although it has been repaired, it's not very stable. Many people have gone in, but none of them have received a reply."

Only a small number of people successfully made it to Jiezhou, but some were injured or disabled, and some were even scared out of their wits!

Those guys up there are really having a headache. It seems like no one can rebuild this space tunnel as safely as before, and they're already asking around for help.

"The space tunnels are terrifying now, so deserted!" the waiter said with an exaggerated expression.

Lin Ran hadn't expected to receive such "good news" so soon after arriving in the Ji Dynasty. There weren't many space tunnels in Liezhou that could take you to Jiezhou. Without space tunnels, the only option was to choose the more dangerous option of space travel.

This is also an option: traveling to Jiezhou by taking a spacecraft through space barriers and spatial turbulence. But to be honest, this is quite dangerous. If you're unlucky enough to encounter some space storms, it's no different from a plane crash.

Moreover, there are many tricks to this. Good space travel teams charge higher prices and have more space tunnels. They have been traveling for many years and have a safe route. In addition, their spaceships are sturdy enough. If you are greedy for cheap prices and go to some unprofessional ones, then you have indeed bought a ticket to hell.

After questioning the waiter further, Lin Ran let him go. He then asked some passersby and found out that there was indeed such a major event. Even now, many people are still discussing when the space tunnel will be repaired, as it is causing too much delay.

Lin Ran found a shop that specialized in interstate communications, went in and asked around. She learned about the five major academies. She said that the students of the five major academies in Liezhou had already traveled to the academies by space tunnel before, and some students who came later did not dare to take the space tunnel and chose other methods instead.

At this point, the shop owner got carried away and said to Lin Ran, "Brother, do you know the daughter of the owner of Yong'an Teahouse?"

"Oh, what's the story?" Lin Ran asked deliberately, pretending not to know.

The shopkeeper, in high spirits, said, "You don't know that the young lady of Yong'an Teahouse is incredibly beautiful, like a fairy. She was a very famous beauty in Jishui, the capital of the Ji Dynasty."

It's a pity he perished in the spatial turbulence. No matter how much of a reward is offered, the teahouse owner will never be found. Lately, anyone discussing spatial tunnels inevitably brings this up. Sigh!

The shopkeeper was clearly a sentimental man, lamenting the untimely death of such a beauty. Lin Ran, however, became curious. He asked many people, and they all said that the young lady was as beautiful as a fairy. He was also quite curious and asked, "Shopkeeper, do you have a painting to look at so I can witness the beauty of that young lady?"

“How can a painting truly capture her beauty? Wait a moment…” The shopkeeper turned and went inside. A moment later, he returned with a scroll, which he unfurled before Lin Ran. Lin Ran saw that the scroll did indeed depict an unparalleled beauty, but what puzzled her was…

Lin Ran pointed to the necklace the young lady was wearing and asked curiously, "Why is this young lady wearing such a strange necklace? It looks like an eye."

"I don't know either. Someone mentioned it before, but it seems to have been left by the girl's mother. Maybe it has some kind of sentimental value."

"Now that you mention it, I find it a bit strange. There are actually people making necklaces like this, with just one eye. That's so unlucky, hahaha!" The shop owner wasn't sure either.

Lin Ran chuckled and shook her head. After a while, she suddenly asked, "What's your daughter's name?"

"The teahouse owner's surname is Lin, and this young lady's name is Lin Shishi!" the owner replied.

"Nice name. Boss, come again another day, I have something else to attend to!"

"Take care, brother. You must come and chat with me sometime!" the boss said.

After all, it's rare to find a listener with the patience to listen to his gossip, and now that the boss has found one, he's a little reluctant to let him go.
