202: Chapter 202 The Primordial Spirit of True Man Yuanfu, and the Big-Breasted, Brainless Dream Lover

"No need! Let this old man handle this demon; you go and eliminate that petty person first!"

Having said that, Shi Gandang charged fearlessly toward the demon.

"This..." Meng Qing was a bit confused.

Shi Gandang was only at the Heavenly Palace Realm, Sixth Heaven. To go and fight a demon at the Ninth Heaven of the Heavenly Palace Realm—wasn't that just seeking his own death?

But why did she get the feeling that Shi Gandang was so eager to rush up there because he was afraid she would refuse?

What on earth did this mean?! Meng Qing felt that her brain simply couldn't keep up.

Lin Ran appeared beside Meng Qing, his gaze deep as he said: "Meng Qing, listen to Old Ancestor Shi. You go and eliminate the people from Heavenly God Mountain first."

Smart as he was, he had vaguely guessed something.

It seemed that when Li Wuqing had specifically named the Shi family to investigate the Demon Cave at the imperial court, and insisted that as many experts as possible be sent, there was clearly some unknown secret behind it.

Looking at the expression on Old Ancestor Shi's face—fearless, or perhaps even seeking death—Lin Ran knew that even if Meng Qing suppressed this demon, Old Ancestor Shi would find a way to make himself die today.

Since that was the case, it was better to fulfill Shi Gandang's wish and let him die while fighting the demon.

"Fine." Meng Qing nodded reluctantly and turned to attack Daoist Yuanfu.

Seeing this, Shi Gandang looked back at Lin Ran with gratitude and began fighting the demon with absolutely no reservations.

Seeing the Shi Family Head about to lead a group of Shi family experts to charge to their deaths one after another, Lin Ran hurriedly stopped them.

"Dragon Commander, our Old Ancestor is in danger. As members of the Shi family, we cannot just stand by and watch him die!" the Shi Family Head said anxiously.

"For today, it is enough that only Old Ancestor Shi dies."

"When we return to the Imperial Dynasty, I will report this to the court and to the world, making your Shi family a Noble Family that protects the common people of the world." Lin Ran shook his head and said.

"This..." The members of the Shi family were stunned.

They had not expected that Lin Ran would be willing to go to such lengths for their Shi family.

They had to know, other than their Shi family's Divine Son serving as a captain in the Dragon Suppressing Army, the Shi family had no other connection with Lin Ran. What right did they have to make the dignified Dragon Commander willing to do this for their Shi family?!

"The Shi family has silently contributed to the Jue Jian Imperial Dynasty for so many years; they should not so easily fall into decline."

"I cannot bear it, and I believe the Imperial Sovereign cannot bear it, nor can the common people of this world."

Lin Ran's words were righteous and awe-inspiring, causing tears to well up in the eyes of the Shi family experts.

Naturally, he was not helping the Shi family for nothing; he was simply paving the way for Li Huayin.

Didn't Li Huayin say she wanted to become the Empress of the Jue Jian Imperial Dynasty? As her husband, he would naturally support her with all his might.

His actions were undoubtedly a way to buy the loyalty of the Shi family. After all, although Old Ancestor Shi would die today, the Shi family was still a Noble Family with a long Legacy. As long as the other experts did not die, they would still have profound influence in the Jue Jian Imperial Dynasty.

Furthermore, if today's events were announced to the world, the Shi family's influence would rise. And him buying the loyalty of the Shi family was equivalent to Li Huayin buying their loyalty.

If Li Huayin wanted to become Empress, with him there, the Shi family would certainly give their full support.

Li Huayin also understood this point and immediately cast a grateful look at Lin Ran.

With such a husband who was always thinking of her, what else could she ask for? She had to firmly hook Lin Ran; she absolutely could not let him run away. If she couldn't hook him to death, she would hook him until he died—hook him tightly! She would only have Lin Ran for the rest of her life!!

Seeing Meng Qing charging at him, Daoist Yuanfu couldn't help but be startled.

He was only at the Heavenly Palace Realm Seventh Heaven; how could he withstand the offensive of Meng Qing, who was at the Ninth Heaven of the Heavenly Palace Realm?!

"Damn it! Could it be that this old guy is seeking death?!"

Daoist Yuanfu summoned one Talisman after another, struggling bitterly to defend against Meng Qing's lethal moves with a miserable expression.

His original intention was for Meng Qing to fight the demon while he took on Shi Gandang, who was at the Heavenly Palace Realm, Sixth Heaven. That way, not only could he kill Shi Gandang while Meng Qing was fighting the demon, but he could also escape unscathed.

But now, Shi Gandang had charged at the demon fearlessly, and instead, Meng Qing had freed herself up to attack him. This had undoubtedly completely disrupted his plans, leaving him in utter misery.

"Luo River · Heavenly Waterfall!" Meng Qing waved her hand, and the phantom of the Luo River manifested. The river water was violent and surging, lashing against the Void Realm as it charged toward Daoist Yuanfu.

"Damn it!!!" Daoist Yuanfu couldn't resist Meng Qing's lethal move at all. Under the impact of the Luo River, his Physical Body exploded, and his Divine Soul was extinguished.

However, a five-colored light orb took the opportunity to escape Meng Qing's lethal move, fleeing frantically toward the outside of the Demon Cave.

This light orb was extremely fast; after escaping into the Void Realm, it vanished without a trace.

"It's a Primordial Spirit!" Meng Qing exclaimed. When she wanted to intercept it, it was already too late; she could only watch with regret as Daoist Yuanfu's Primordial Spirit escaped.

She hadn't expected that a person like Daoist Yuanfu could actually cultivate a Primordial Spirit. If she had been prepared for this, how could she have let Daoist Yuanfu's Primordial Spirit escape?

"It's fine, let him go," Lin Ran said in a calm tone.

The Demon Cave was very close to the second opening of the second Restriction on Dragon Body Mountain. In his panic, Daoist Yuanfu's Primordial Spirit would definitely flee toward the nearest opening.

And at that second opening, his net of heaven and earth had been waiting for a long time!

In Lin Ran's view, even if Daoist Yuanfu's Primordial Spirit escaped from here, it could not escape his net of heaven and earth. In other words, Daoist Yuanfu was a dead man sooner or later, so there was no need to worry.

On the other side, Old Ancestor Shi was barely holding on and was about to be suppressed and killed by the demon. Meng Qing saw it with her eyes and felt anxious in her heart.

"Husband, wait here; I'll go help Old Ancestor Shi first!"

Lin Ran reached out and stopped her, shaking his head slightly: "Old Ancestor Shi can still hold on for a while. Wait until he starts burning his lifespan and his time is up, then you can step in to help."

He knew his words were cruel, but this was undoubtedly the scene that Old Ancestor Shi, the Shi family members, and Li Wuqing wanted to see. Naturally, he could not go against their wishes.

In this way, even if he saved Old Ancestor Shi, it would ironically become his fault.

"Ah? Husband, you... do you have a fever?" Meng Qing was stunned for a moment, her face full of confusion, and she even reached out to place her hand on Lin Ran's forehead.

Lin Ran was speechless, slapped away Meng Qing's hand, and let out a heavy sigh.

Meng Qing had been a Pavilion Master for so many years, how could she still be so brainless?!

"Sometimes, having too large a chest isn't a good thing!" Lin Ran sighed sincerely.

Meng Qing understood this sentence; after all, Lin Ran had scolded her for being brainless before!
