169: Chapter 169 The Opportunity for a Breakthrough in Meng Qing's Favorability? The System Continues to Exert Its Power!

"Husband!"

Just as Lin Ran was deep in thought, Meng Qing suddenly appeared before him, colliding with him breast-first, knocking him dizzy.

"Meng Qing, you are a Heavenly Palace Realm Expert and the Pavilion Master of Qingyu Pavilion, can you not be so reckless?"

Lin Ran struggled to break free from Meng Qing's embrace, feeling as though he were on the verge of being suffocated by Meng Qing's assets.

The implication of his words was: next time, for heaven's sake, stop colliding with me breast-first!

He had only just finished tempering Xuan Zhixue's physique; he truly could not withstand such violent impacts!

Meng Qing playfully stuck out her little tongue and laughed embarrassedly, "Sorry, Husband~"

"Alright, how was the harvest from your trip?"

Lin Ran asked curiously.

Upon hearing Lin Ran's words, Meng Qing's glistening eyes immediately sparkled, and she said excitedly, "Husband, you don't know, Heavenly God Mountain stored quite a lot of Cultivation resources. Even if the Three Great Races split them, it is still a massive amount!"

"Among these Cultivation resources, there are Spirit Pills and miraculous medicines, rare treasures, and powerful Magic Treasures. Even if my Qingyu Pavilion just sits around and consumes them, it could last for over a hundred years!"

Lin Ran nodded, "Hmm, I think the Heavenly God Mountain of the Ten Dynasties Divine Realm probably didn't expect that they would suffer such a huge loss at my hands this time in the Lower Realm."

"Therefore, they must have brought quite a lot of Cultivation resources when they descended to the Lower Realm, preparing to develop in the Zhangming Emperor Realm."

"It's a pity they encountered me, and I rejected their intention to develop in Qing Province!"

A cold sneer curled at the corners of his lips, his gaze like an invincible divine sword, piercing through layers of obstacles, as if he could see the unsightly expression on the face of the Heavenly God Mountain Master of the Ten Dynasties Divine Realm.

But having said that, why is Meng Qing's favorability still stuck at 99 points?!

Even Xia Lingshuang's favorability has broken through to 100 points!!

Lin Ran knew that if the favorability of each target was to break through to 100 points, it required the most perfect opportunity.

The most perfect opportunity for Master Baby's favorability to break through to 100 points was his sweet talk...

Bah!

It should be said that it was due to Su Xiyue herself and his own factors.

The opportunity for Yan Ruyu's favorability to break through to 100 points was when he had Su Xiyue accept her.

The opportunity for Li Huayin's favorability to break through to 100 points was when he and she together broke through that thin layer of window paper.

And the opportunity for Xia Lingshuang's favorability to break through to 100 points was when he brought her to personally kill the people from Heavenly God Mountain, letting her taste the pleasure of revenge.

Then, what is the opportunity for Meng Qing's favorability to break through to 100 points?

This was indeed a question worth deep thought for Lin Ran.

"Husband, what are you thinking about?"

Meng Qing looked at Lin Ran, whose brows were slightly furrowed, and reached out to wave her hand in front of his eyes.

Lin Ran shook his head, "Nothing, I think it is time for me to leave Qing Province."

"After all, the trouble in Qing Province has been completely resolved now, and your Qingyu Pavilion's status as the hegemon of Qing Province will be unshakable. Furthermore, you have dealings with the Ba Clan, which is a mutually beneficial matter."

"Next, I plan to make a trip to the Imperial Province."

Hearing that Lin Ran was about to leave Qing Province, which meant Lin Ran was about to leave her side, Meng Qing became anxious immediately.

"Husband, I will go to the Imperial Province with you!"

Lin Ran shook his head slightly and smiled, "You are the Pavilion Master of Qingyu Pavilion and have your own things to do. What does it look like for you to wander around outside with me?"

Meng Qing said anxiously, "Husband, you said it yourself, we have destroyed the Heavenly God Mountain in Qing Province, so my Qingyu Pavilion's status as hegemon will be unshakable."

"This indicates that my Qingyu Pavilion will enter a period of stable development, so how could there be so many trivial matters that require me, the Pavilion Master, to handle personally?"

"With the Old Ancestors of the Three Great Races there, I don't need to worry so much about the Qingyu Pavilion."

"Besides, in this Zhangming Emperor Realm, who knows if there are still Heavenly Palace Realm Experts from Heavenly God Mountain?"

"Husband, the Heavenly God Mountain of Qing Province was destroyed by your hands, so the people from the Heavenly God Mountain of the Ten Dynasties Divine Realm will definitely view you as a thorn in their side. If I am not by your side, who can protect you?"

The Patriarch of the Ba Clan and the Third Ancestor of the Feixian Sect, Zhou Zhiyi, needed to guard the Ba Clan and the Feixian Sect, so it was indeed impossible for them to follow Lin Ran and roam outside at all times.

Currently, keeping Meng Qing by his side was indeed the most suitable choice.

However...

"Qingyu Pavilion is not like the Ba Clan or the Feixian Sect; there is no defensive array in the pavilion capable of resisting the Heavenly Palace Realm. If you roam outside with me, what will happen to Qingyu Pavilion?"

"What if a Heavenly Palace Realm Expert from Heavenly God Mountain descends to the Lower Realm and destroys Qingyu Pavilion overnight?"

"Then, your efforts and mine would have been in vain."

Lin Ran said in a deep voice.

This was indeed a problem. If Meng Qing followed him to travel outside, who would look after the safety of Qingyu Pavilion?

Relying on the Old Ancestors of the Three Great Races?

That was impossible.

Without Meng Qing, Qingyu Pavilion would be a toy when encountering a Heavenly Palace Realm Expert; it would shatter at a touch!

But, Meng Qing's words were not without reason.

As of now, no one knew if there were still strong experts from Heavenly God Mountain lurking in the Zhangming Emperor Realm.

Therefore, he must have a powerful protector following him by his side.

【Ding! Detected that the Host has triggered a new Heavenly Mandate Mission, please make the following choices!】

【Option 1: This Son of Heavenly Mandate is roaming and adventuring outside; whether he lives or dies, what does that have to do with you, this Peerless Great Villain?!】

【Mission: Sternly reject Meng Qing, make her stay properly in Qingyu Pavilion, and not leave a single step!】

【Reward: 13000 destiny points, one heartbroken Peerless Great Villain!】

【Option 2: The Dao should not be so small, and Dao Companions should not be so few! The journey is long, and having a Dao Companion accompany you is the greatest joy in life!】

【Mission: Agree for Meng Qing to accompany you to the Imperial Province!】

【Reward: 13000 destiny points, Third-Turn Divine-Grade Array — Dragon Phoenix Imperial Guardian Array!】

Good, good, good!

The System, unwilling to see him suffer even a little bit, has started to exert effort again!

He was still worrying about the safety of Qingyu Pavilion, and the System was about to give him a Third-Turn Divine-Grade defensive array for free.

A Third-Turn Divine-Grade defensive array, no matter how many Heavenly Palace Realm Experts attack, it can keep them all out!

In this way, Lin Ran would no longer need to worry about the safety of Qingyu Pavilion.

However, Lin Ran had the right to suspect that the sentence "The Dao should not be so small, and Dao Companions should not be so few" was said by the System specifically for him to hear...

"I choose two!"

Lin Ran immediately made his choice.

In his arms, Meng Qing was in low spirits and couldn't think of any good solution for a moment.

She wanted to follow Lin Ran to the Imperial Province, but she couldn't let go of the safety of Qingyu Pavilion; this was truly worrying!

"Meng Qing, you can come with me to the Imperial Province."

Lin Ran suddenly said.

"Ah? But Qingyu Pavilion..."

"It's fine, I have found a solution."

Lin Ran smiled mysteriously.
