131: Chapter 131 A well-thought-out backup plan, news of the Seven Luminaries Divine Spring

"Actually... it's not impossible." Lin Ran gave a dry cough and said.

After all, he and Cang Yunrou had already tied the knot; sleeping in the same bed first to get familiar with the "procedure" wouldn't be bad either.

"Ahem!"

"Lin Ran, don't you have some matters to discuss with this Empress?"

Meng Qing gave a light cough and spoke.

Although she said that, everyone knew her true intentions lay elsewhere; she was clearly jealous and wanted to "resume old business" with Lin Ran.

Lin Ran quickly made his choice and smiled:

"Yun Rou, you go and rest first. I have some matters to discuss with the Pavilion Master of Qingyu Pavilion."

Just kidding!

Meng Qing had a mysterious gift pack on her just waiting for him to harvest; did he not know what was more important?!

"Alright, official business regarding Heavenly God Mountain is indeed more important."

Cang Yunrou nodded.

She was not the type of woman to make unreasonable trouble; on the contrary, she was very sensible and understood the weight of matters.

"Lin Ran, come with this Empress."

Meng Qing wrapped her sleeves around Lin Ran's waist, and in the blink of an eye, they disappeared from the spot.

"Peak Master, our Little Ranran has just been... abducted?!"

Yan Ruyu stared blankly at the scene before her, unable to even react.

Damn it!

She just takes Lin Ran away like that—did she ask for their permission?!

Just because Meng Qing wants to practice with Lin Ran, don't they also want to do the things they love with Lin Ran?!

How can Meng Qing be so selfish?!

Pfft!

"Sigh, there's no helping it. With Meng Qing around, I'm afraid it's hard for us to compete with her."

"After all, this wave... the advantage is with her."

Xia Lingshuang's tone held some envy.

With that heavy "capacity" of Meng Qing's, what woman wouldn't be envious?!

"Damn! Is being big something to be proud of?!"

Yan Ruyu muttered indignantly.

Meanwhile, in the Pavilion Master's residence.

After Meng Qing brought Lin Ran back, she obediently snuggled into his arms and said in a soft tone:

"Alright, Lin Ran, what are you planning to tell me?"

Lin Ran held her as they sat by the bed, his chin resting lightly on top of her head, and he laid out his entire plan.

Meng Qing nodded with a serious expression as she listened.

"Mm, I will cooperate fully with the Third Ancestor!"

"Heavenly God Mountain wants to gain a foothold in Qingzhou and destroy my Qingyu Pavilion? That is nothing but wishful thinking!"

"By using a counter-scheme and a bitter strategy, we will definitely be able to play Heavenly God Mountain in circles. When the time comes, we will wipe them out in one fell swoop, ensuring those guys from the Heavenly God Mountain of the Ten Dynasties Divine Realm won't dare to easily enter the Lower Realm again!"

But soon, a trace of hesitation and suspicion appeared on Meng Qing's face.

"What do you want to say? Why not tell me?"

Lin Ran pinched Meng Qing's cheek and smiled.

"I'm thinking that in this plan to destroy the Qingzhou Heavenly God Mountain, my Qingyu Pavilion, the Feixian Sect, and the Ba Clan are the three crucial factors."

"There's no need to doubt Qingyu Pavilion and the Feixian Sect; after all, I listen to you, and the Feixian Sect also listens to you."

"But that Ba Clan... can we really trust them?"

Meng Qing questioned.

As the saying goes, one must guard against others; having two plans for everything is never wrong.

Lin Ran nodded slightly:

"Mm, I know what you mean. You're afraid the Ba Clan will betray us and collude with Heavenly God Mountain."

"To be honest, I'm a bit worried too, so I selected the Patriarch of the Ba Clan as the protagonist for this bitter strategy, and it will be a real fight!"

"The pinnacle combat power of the Ba Clan is just the Patriarch of the Ba Clan himself. Once the Third Ancestor of my sect heavily injures him, even if he truly wants to betray us, we have nothing to fear."

"Moreover, the Ba Tribe Goddess is still by my side. She is the Ba Clan's self-proclaimed most powerful Ba-body in history. If the Patriarch of the Ba Clan is truly smart, he won't dare to betray us."

"Because... This Holy Son would indeed kill Cang Yunrou."

Those who achieve great things are not bound by sentiment.

He was not some kind-hearted fool who, knowing the Ba Clan had betrayed him, would do nothing to Cang Yunrou.

In other words, Cang Yunrou was the bargaining chip he used to keep the Ba Clan in check.

Even if Cang Yunrou had been unwilling to come to Qingyu Pavilion with him today, he would have dragged her here by force even if he had to talk until his lips were worn out!

Only then could he feel at ease.

"So you had already made two plans; I underestimated you."

Meng Qing laughed.

Lin Ran's level of cunning made even her feel a chill.

She was relieved that her opponent was not Lin Ran; otherwise, she wouldn't even know how she had been played to death by Lin Ran!

Although she was currently being played by Lin Ran...

Her eyes were somewhat hazy, her cheeks flushed, and she shifted her perky buttocks again and again, finding an excellent position to sit back down.

"Lin Ran, I... know where the seven luminaries divine spring is now."

"Could you..."

Before Meng Qing could finish speaking, Lin Ran smirked and covered her mouth.

"Don't speak. Let time be quiet for a while; we can talk about these things later..."

The lush lamplight cast the silhouettes of the two playing and frolicking on the wall...

Several days later.

Meng Qing lay limp in Lin Ran's arms, her hair sticking together due to a bit of sweat.

"Meng Qing, where is the seven luminaries divine spring now?"

Lin Ran asked, smoothing the stray hairs from Meng Qing's cheeks.

"According to the news I received from the outside world, after the seven luminaries divine spring escaped my control last time, it entered a mysterious cave-heaven world."

"That cave-heaven world is a hidden treasure vault, and there are quite a few Opportunities inside. To enter it, one needs this thing."

As she spoke, Meng Qing took out three precious orbs from her Storage Ring.

"These are God-Avoiding Orbs; carrying one will allow you to enter that blessed cave-heaven land."

"However, only those below the Moon Venerable Realm can enter. Otherwise, even with the protection of the God-Avoiding Orbs, one would be instantly killed by the power of the Dao rules upon entering."

Lin Ran took the three God-Avoiding Orbs and stored them in his own Storage Ring.

As for how these three God-Avoiding Orbs should be distributed, he already had a plan.

"Meng Qing, rest assured, I will seize the seven luminaries divine spring for you. Not just for you, but also for myself."

Lin Ran gently nibbled on Meng Qing's earlobe, and the latter's fair, smooth, delicate body immediately flushed with a lovely shade of pink.

Her ears were the most sensitive part of her entire body. Lin Ran had long known this secret of hers, and he would likely be devouring her for a lifetime...

【Ding! Detected Meng Qing's favorability increased by 15 points!】

【Reward: 19,000 destiny points, dark devouring sword quality Breakthrough to Low Grade Quasi-Emperor Weapon, a pair of white silk stockings (indestructible, self-repairing version!)】

【Current Meng Qing favorability: 70!】

Looking at the rewards bestowed by the System this time, a faint green light suddenly burst from Lin Ran's eyes.

Although the power of the dark devouring sword, having broken through to a Low Grade Quasi-Emperor Weapon, had surged significantly—making it a treasure capable of causing a frenzy in the outside world—at this moment, Lin Ran's gaze and focus were entirely fixed on that pair of Divine Grade white silk stockings!

And they were the indestructible, self-repairing version too!!!
