184: Chapter 184 Instantly Kills a Double-Tier Star Beast, Is Young Master Lin Married?

Just as Qiao Nana was struggling to make a decision, the Star Beast pounced again, charging toward Sun Qian and the other Profound Mystery Realm expert.

"No!"

Qiao Nana's piercing scream rang out. She could only watch helplessly as Sun Qian was struck down by the Star Beast.

Just then,

A tall, straight figure suddenly stood in front of the two. This person was none other than Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan faced the Second-Order Star Beast without the slightest tension. His combat power had already reached 3 Cores. Even if they clashed head-on, he would not be weaker than this Star Beast, let alone the fact that he still had many other methods.

The qi vortex in the acupoints of his right arm suddenly began to spin violently. His eyes instantly turned scarlet. The Slaughter Domain activated, and his combat power immediately soared to 4.5 Cores.

What surprised Lin Yuan was that the star in his Dantian suddenly lit up as well, further boosting his combat power to nearly 5 Cores.

This left Lin Yuan both surprised and delighted. It turned out the star in his Dantian had such a marvelous use.

Clang!!

The golden swimming dragon sword was drawn, and the Profound Mystery Dimensional Slash was instantly attached. With one sword strike, Lin Yuan’s figure flashed straight through the body of the Second-Order Star Beast, which instantly split into two halves.

A massive beast crystal appeared in the air. Lin Yuan snatched it and threw it into his storage space.

He now had an entire Blue Star to support, and resources were extremely scarce, so naturally, he could not miss any opportunity to collect supplies.

The powerful Second-Order Star Beast was split in half by a young man’s single sword strike right before everyone's eyes.

For a moment, everyone's eyes widened. Judging by the young man's aura, he should only be at the first level of the Profound Mystery Realm, but how could he kill a Second-Order Star Beast with one strike? It was simply inconceivable...

When Sun Qian opened his eyes, his gaze was fixed blankly on Lin Yuan. He never expected that the one who saved him would be a young man of the same Martial Arts Level as himself.

Qiao Nana’s eyes sparkled repeatedly. Sun Qian was already a top talent in their village, yet this handsome young martial artist before her was so much stronger than Sun Qian.

Lin Yuan ignored the astonishment of the crowd. He was busy adapting to his current combat power. In the space around him, silver sword light flashed violently. Over a dozen First-Order Star Beasts, without any resistance, were all cut into several pieces, their beast blood flowing everywhere...

After finishing everything, Lin Yuan sheathed his long sword. The star in his Dantian instantly dimmed, the rotation speed of the qi vortex in his arm slowed down, and the scarlet color in his eyes faded.

After collecting the beast crystals, he swallowed all the soul bodies in one gulp. Lin Yuan slowly turned around, looked at the stunned crowd behind him, smiled slightly, and spoke:

"Everyone, it's alright now. I have cleared out all the Star Beasts."

Sun Qian, supported by the other Profound Mystery Realm expert, slowly walked over. Qiao Nana also quickly supported Sun Qian on the other side.

"Thank you, Brother, for stepping in to help. On behalf of all the villagers of Linggu Village, I express my deepest gratitude to you!"

Sun Qian spoke. The three of them, along with the villagers behind them, bowed deeply to Lin Yuan.

"There is no need for such formalities, everyone. I was just passing by. Drawing my sword to help when encountering injustice is a traditional virtue of us martial artists," Lin Yuan said with a smile.

Uh... Is there such a traditional virtue? Everyone muttered in their hearts. Isn't it just survival of the fittest?...

"I am Sun Qian. May I ask what Brother calls himself? Where are you from? What brings you to our Linggu Village? If there is anything we can assist you with, we will certainly do our utmost!" Sun Qian clasped his fists.

"I am Lin Yuan. Coming to your Linggu Village was purely by chance. I have no fixed star field and have always been traveling the starry sky with my master. I accidentally got separated from him, which is why I came to your Silver Moon Star," Lin Yuan fabricated.

Sun Qian's eyes lit up, and he said with a smile, "I see. Brother Lin, if you don't mind, please stay in our Linggu Village for a while. Although our environment for cultivation here cannot compare to the big cities, our village has cultivated quite a few spirit herbs, making it a decent place for cultivation."

Upon hearing this, Lin Yuan was secretly pleased. It seemed the issue of his identity could be resolved.

However, he still showed hesitation on the surface. Agreeing too readily might make people suspect he had ulterior motives.

"This..."

"Brother Lin, I am Tian Hao. My brother Sun Qian is right. You have nowhere else to go anyway, so why not stay here first? It won't be too late to leave after you find your master," Tian Hao, the Middle-aged man beside him, also urged.

"Brother Lin, please stay," Qiao Nana whispered shyly.

Hearing this, Lin Yuan put on an expression of struggle, then seemed to make some kind of decision.

"Very well. Since that is the case, I will stay in your Linggu Village for now."

"That's wonderful! Brother Lin, I will take you to tour our village right away and tell you about the situation here," Tian Hao said happily.

"Brother Tian, you should stay and watch over Brother Sun. He is quite seriously injured. I will take Brother Lin to tour the village," Qiao Nana said, pulling Lin Yuan's arm without waiting for permission.

Lin Yuan gave an awkward smile. "Then, you two brothers, I will go take a look around with Miss Qiao. You two rest well..."

Watching the two walk away, Sun Qian smiled helplessly. Tian Hao, standing nearby, said:

"Brother Sun, did we make a mistake by keeping Lin Yuan? The way Qiao Nana looks at him seems a bit off."

"Lin Yuan's strength is immense; he could easily instantly kill a Second-Order Star Beast. He is clearly a monster capable of fighting above his level. Even among the major powers of the Star Alliance, monsters of this caliber are extremely rare.

His staying in our Linggu Village might be an opportunity for our village. As for Qiao Nana, I have been pursuing her for a long time, but she seems to only regard me as an older brother. Perhaps I should let go..." Sun Qian’s expression clearly dimmed considerably towards the end.

"Brother Sun, it's actually good that you can think it through. Qiao Nana is beautiful and talented, but feelings cannot be forced," Tian Hao comforted him.

...

Lin Yuan toured the village with Qiao Nana and glanced at the system panel. The transcendent points on the panel had accumulated to 16, and his Martial Arts Level now showed that an upgrade was possible.

However, Lin Yuan did not break through immediately but decided to settle down first. After all, breakthroughs now were not like before; just compressing the qi vortex was somewhat troublesome.

The Qiao Nana beside him was named Qiao Nana, the daughter of the village chief of Linggu Village. Her talent was extraordinary; she was already at the first level of the Profound Mystery Realm in her thirties.

Of course, Qiao Nana was also a famous beauty across ten miles and eight villages. Although her skin was not fair, her features were extremely delicate. Paired with her wheat-colored complexion, she gave people a look of vibrant health mixed with a hint of wild beauty.

Her long, shapely, and smooth legs—any normal man would be unable to look away after just one glance...

"Brother Lin, this is our village's medicinal field. We plant various spirit herbs needed for cultivation in the Profound Mystery Realm. After the spirit herbs mature, we trade some cultivation necessities with the merchant guilds in the big cities," Qiao Nana introduced proudly.

In the starry sky, most resources were controlled by major powers. A village like theirs, capable of growing spirit herbs and achieving self-sufficiency, indeed had capital to be proud of.

"Mmm, not bad. Your Linggu Village truly is a hidden paradise," Lin Yuan praised.

"Then, is Brother Lin married? Are you willing to stay here forever?" Qiao Nana asked shyly.

Qiao Nana's directness startled Lin Yuan. Are women in the starry sky always this straightforward?

Just then, an untimely voice rang out.

"Miss Qiao Nana, I have pursued you for a long time, yet you have always maintained your reserve. I never expected you to be so flirtatious, actively confessing to a man right here in the medicinal field, haha..."

"However, what's so good about this pretty boy? He looks like a flash in the pan—good to look at but useless. Only a powerful man like myself can thoroughly conquer a little wildcat like you!"

A lecherous-looking dandy, accompanied by an old man and an attendant, staggered toward them, taking three steps at a time...
