Lin Fan held his bounty poster, his expression somewhat strange.
Those old foxes from the Qingxiao Sect are truly disgusting. They only gave me a charge of treason and didn't take any action. I guess they're afraid of my strength and don't dare to offend me too much.
After all, the ambush they set up in the Ice Valley caused the Demonic Path to lose seventeen powerful figures. If they were pushed to the brink and switched sides to the Demonic Path, it would be a true nightmare for the Northern Immortal Sect.
With his monstrous talent, meticulous mind, and unpredictable methods, once given time to grow to the Nascent Soul stage, he would be an enemy so powerful that even in his sleep he wouldn't dare close his eyes.
He burned the wanted poster and planned to take Fengxi to Zhongzhou.
Have you finished all your homework?
Fengxi nodded, took his hand, and smiled sweetly, "Now that I've finished learning, I'll recite it for you!"
Lin Fan glanced at Feng Xi, who was only half a head shorter than him, and then at her long legs hidden under her long skirt. He subtly withdrew his hand and crossed it to his chest, not giving her a chance to act indecently.
"Let's find you a body first!" He led Fengxi southward, traversing mountains and dense forests, until they arrived at a chaotic area.
This is the border between the Hundred Flowers Sect and the Blood Fiend Sect. The two sects have often clashed over territory, resulting in frequent bloodshed.
Several cities here possess abundant resources, and neither faction wants the benefits to fall into the other's hands, thus creating a no-man's-land.
The cities were in chaos, a melting pot of all sorts of people, with many factions intertwined, and bloodshed occurring daily.
Neither of the two major sects bothered them, as long as they made offerings on time every year.
As soon as Lin Fan stepped into the area, the sounds of fighting came from afar. After an explosion, the noise quickly subsided.
He ignored it, holding the map and studying the route. He only needed to cross three more cities to leave the Northern Region.
Rumble
The sky was covered with dark clouds, thunder roared, and streaks of lightning ripped across the sky, flashing like electric dragons and silver snakes.
Seeing the oppressive atmosphere and knowing that it would soon rain, he released his divine sense and discovered a hidden cave ahead, so he went there to take shelter from the rain.
In the blink of an eye, a torrential downpour began, engulfing the world and blurring all visibility.
Lin Fan landed at the cave entrance, watching the water cascading down, thinking that the rain wouldn't stop anytime soon.
He sniffed; a faint smell of blood wafted from the cave. A quick scan with his divine sense revealed that there was another person lying inside.
It was a young girl in a red dress, who had already stopped breathing, her pretty face pale and bloodless.
Lin Fan approached and checked her breathing, pulse, and heartbeat, confirming that she was dead.
"This is incredibly lucky! I was just looking for a suitable body, and this one has been delivered right to me?"
He looked at Feng Xi with suspicion. Could she be the heroine of destiny? The system wanted to go to great lengths to save her and even wanted to put her on the throne of the Great Emperor, but then the heavens immediately arranged a body for her. She was definitely the template for a heroine.
"Xi'er, quickly enter her body, I will revive you with the Soul Fusion Pill!" he said.
Upon hearing this, Fengxi pouted and said, "Brother, she's not as pretty as me, so let's forget about it!"
Lin Fan glanced at Feng Xi speechlessly, then carefully examined the girl in red. How was she any less beautiful? Her stunning beauty and captivating appearance were unparalleled, no less than her.
He saw jealousy in Fengxi's eyes. Sure enough, when a beautiful woman sees another stunning beauty, she will always feel a sense of comparison and a little jealousy.
"Be good, or I won't take you with me!"
Upon hearing this, Fengxi pouted, and although she was very unwilling, she obediently lay down inside.
Lin Fan took out the Soul Fusion Pill and gave it to her. The girl in red twitched her eyebrows and frowned slightly, her delicate body radiating a pale blue light.
"This injury is quite serious!" He took out another healing pill and gave it to her. The wounds healed at a speed visible to the naked eye, and her breathing gradually stabilized.
Then Fengxi slightly opened her beautiful eyes, breathing heavily, quickly got up, and reached out to touch her cheek.
"Brother, I'm alive again!" Fengxi danced with joy, ignoring the bloodstains on his body, and hugged her neck tightly.
"How are you feeling?" Lin Fan asked.
It seems the Soul Fusion Pill worked perfectly, resolving everything.
"I feel like I've become real again, and I've even accessed some of her memories!"
Fengxi's eyes were clear, but suddenly a trace of pity appeared, and two lines of tears slid down her cheeks.
"Did you see some miserable and tragic memory?" Lin Fan's eyes lit up, his face burning with gossip.
Fengxi nodded, and then recounted the memories she had seen.
The girl's name was Liu Mengli. She possessed a divine spiritual vein and was the eldest daughter of the Liu family, a powerful clan in Zhongzhou. Her mother entered a secret realm when she was ten years old and then disappeared without a trace.
Originally a favored daughter of heaven, she was framed by her own sister three years ago, who stole her divine spiritual veins and almost caused her to die tragically. Fortunately, her wet nurse appeared in time and saved her.
However, after her spiritual veins were stripped away, she became bedridden. Although she survived by relying on medicine, she became a useless person who could not cultivate and could not even take care of herself.
Until a month ago, her wet nurse, unable to bear seeing her repeatedly bullied, decided to take her away from the Liu family, and was then hunted down by powerful men sent by her younger sister.
They fled north, and in the end, the wet nurse hid her in a cave to lure away the enemy, but she still couldn't hold on and died from her serious injuries.
"Brother, my heart aches so much!" Fengxi cried, tears streaming down her face, her eyes filled with despair.
"The Liu family of Zhongzhou?" Lin Fan rubbed his chin. What a ridiculous plot! Another female-oriented drama with a protagonist template.
He ignored Fengxi's sadness and grief, knowing that it was an emotional resonance caused by resentment from Liu Mengli's recent death, which was why she was so sad.
At this moment, he had a plan in mind. Since she was the eldest daughter of the Liu family, she was the rightful heir of the Liu family and would truly be blessed with immense wealth. Why not... hehehe!
Shoot Shoot
The sound of wind breaking came from outside the cave. Lin Fan and Feng Xi arrived at the cave entrance and saw thirteen Golden Core Realm experts outside.
thump
An elderly woman, well past fifty, was carelessly thrown to the ground, severely injured and on the verge of death.
Upon seeing Liu Mengli, she weakly reached out her hand and said, "Miss, run!"
Her voice was very soft and hoarse, and then everything went black as she fainted.
"Mother Yu!" Fengxi couldn't help but cry as she ran out. At this moment, she was still affected by Liu Mengli's obsession, and her delicate body staggered and swayed in the heavy rain.
The thirteen Golden Core experts, their eyes cold, brandished their icy weapons, ready to eliminate their target.
A dark shadow swept past in the rain. Lin Fan saw that Feng Xi was about to trip over a stone, so he grabbed her waist and rushed to the wet nurse, using his spiritual power to lift her up.
The three vanished without a trace in an instant. The thirteen Golden Core experts, still wielding their weapons, suddenly unleashed an exceptionally terrifying burst of sword energy, densely packed like raindrops piercing through their bodies.
Everyone was riddled with holes, blood splattered, and they collapsed and died.
Lin Fan led them quickly toward the nearby city. Because of his powerful aura, the city guards dared not stop him. After his figure disappeared into the distance and his oppressive aura dissipated, they all wiped away their cold sweat.
Thousand Wind City is the most prosperous city in the vicinity, controlled by eight major families, all guarded by peak Nascent Soul stage experts.
The aura of a Nascent Soul stage expert suddenly appeared in the city, immediately attracting their attention, and they all dispatched experts to investigate.
Lin Fan found an inn and began to give the wet nurse healing pills and infuse her with spiritual power to protect her bloodline.
"Brother, is Mother Yu alright?" Fengxi asked anxiously.
"It depends on her will to survive!" Lin Fan said helplessly. The damn system was unwilling to give him a life-saving pill, so he could only leave it to fate.
"Xi'er, why don't you pretend to be the eldest daughter of the Liu family and seize the position of head of the Liu family!"
"Huh?" Fengxi asked, puzzled, "Why?"
Lin Fan coaxed, "Think about how badly they harmed this sister. You are now using her body to revive her, that's the cause. We help her take revenge, eliminate those who harmed her, and fulfill her wishes, that's the effect."
"On the path of cultivation, one must settle all karmic debts to achieve a broad mind and a clear and pure heart, only then can one stand at the pinnacle of the continent!"
Fengxi clenched her pink fist and said seriously, "Yes, Xi'er will definitely avenge you, take back the Liu family's property, and give it to you, brother!"
Although she was a little confused and hadn't quite understood Lin Fan's words, she knew that whatever he did was definitely right.
"Good Xi'er!" Lin Fan patted her head, thinking that the Emperor Cultivation Plan was a huge win. Anyway, she earned the resources herself, and he could also make a profit. It was really awesome.
He was already fantasizing about going to Zhongzhou, seizing her family fortune, and then living the life of being kept by a rich woman.
"Then from now on, your name will be Liu Mengli, understand?" Lin Fan said.
"Huh?" Fengxi's face fell, and her eyes showed some struggle.
"Is it okay if I don't change my name?"
Lin Fan rolled his eyes. What was he thinking? How could he compete for the position of head of the Liu family if he didn't change his name?
"I can call you Xi'er, but in Zhongzhou you must remember that your name is Liu Mengli. It's not too late to change your name back after you become the head of the Liu family!" he continued to deceive.
Hearing Lin Fan still calling her by her original name, Feng Xi happily nodded in agreement, saying that her brother was right!
"But my spiritual veins have been stripped away, turning me into a cripple. How can I become stronger and fight for the family fortune?" She frowned, this was a very troublesome matter.
Seeing that she had learned to think independently, Lin Fan patted her head with satisfaction and said with a smile, "There's no need to rush your cultivation. I'll go and ask the inn to bring in a vat of water so you can wash off the filth first!"
He had arranged everything, including hot water and flower petal aromatherapy, and was about to leave the room when Fengxi stopped him.
"What's wrong?"
"Brother, can you help me wash?" She looked up, her eyes clear as water, with a little star of expectation in them.
Lin Fan's face twitched. Was this appropriate? He probably thought he would turn into a beast.
“You’re all grown up now, you need to learn to bathe yourself!” he refused sternly.
“But my brother always used to wash me!” Fengxi said earnestly.
"Your pineapple brother is such a pervert!" Lin Fan thought to himself. He wouldn't even spare his own sister; he's a beast.
