468: Chapter 468 The pristine white petals of Nai Zhi Bu He, grilled fish

However, the strange thing was that although the Swallow Character Secret contained infinite mysteries and power, capable of devouring the Strange Way Source and items of the bizarre dao,

it was completely helpless when faced with this white petal.

"What on earth is this thing? How can even the Swallow Character Secret do nothing against it?!"

Lin Ran was astonished, feeling that this was very troublesome.

He looked up and found Saintess Yu Luo staring at him with a look of terror.

"What's wrong? Why are you making that face?"

"Although I am helpless against this petal, you don't need to be so desperate. The one who tied the bell must untie it; as long as we find that person, perhaps there will be a turning point."

Lin Ran comforted her patiently.

Saintess Yu Luo shook her head blankly and stammered, "You... you... is this a Divine Ability of the bizarre dao?"

Lin Ran did not hide anything and nodded gently.

He said with a half-smile, "What, are you also going to treat me like those creatures tainted by the bizarre dao and hunt me down to the bitter end?"

Saintess Yu Luo pursed her lips slightly, "How could you Cultivate such a Divine Ability?"

"Just a stroke of Opportunity, it's nothing major."

Lin Ran waved his hand nonchalantly.

Saintess Yu Luo sighed, "I will not speak of this matter to anyone else, and I hope you will not use this Divine Ability again."

"Lin Ran, you must know that in our Ten Dynasties Divine Realm, the bizarre dao is a well-deserved taboo."

"Any creature or item that is tainted or connected to the bizarre dao is not allowed to exist!"

Lin Ran nodded, "Thank you for your kind reminder. However, no one has ever been able to interfere with the Dao I have chosen to walk."

Hearing this, Saintess Yu Luo sighed softly and said nothing more.

Naturally, she would not reveal this to anyone else. She hadn't spent too long with Lin Ran, but she knew he was not a heinous person.

Even if he Cultivated a Divine Ability of the bizarre dao, she could still understand Lin Ran.

"Gurgle~" Suddenly! Saintess Yu Luo's stomach made a strange sound.

Lin Ran cast an odd glance her way, making her cheeks flush red, brighter than peach blossoms.

"Now that your Dantian is sealed, you are no different from an ordinary person; it is perfectly normal to be hungry."

"Fortunately, there are many Yao Beasts in this Shentao Secret Realm. I'll go get you some food," Lin Ran said with a smile.

"Mm, thank you for your trouble." Saintess Yu Luo nodded shyly, her voice as soft as a mosquito's.

Before long, Lin Ran had caught several green-scaled fish from a stream filled with Spiritual Qi.

He started a fire on the spot and used the Pure Yang Chaos Fire to grill the green-scaled fish.

"Wow! I thought you were plotting some major event here, but I didn't expect you to just be grilling fish?!"

Yu Xi appeared beside them at some point, arms crossed over her chest, a mischievous smile hanging on the corner of her lips.

"There's a portion for you too. Would you like some?" Lin Ran said with a smile.

"Hmph! Even if I, Yu Xi, starve to death here, I will never eat a single fish you grilled!" Yu Xi said haughtily.

Yu Xin smiled and rubbed her head, then turned and walked towards Lin Ran, looking at him expectantly.

Lin Ran smiled helplessly and handed a crispy, golden-brown grilled fish to her.

"Ah! Delicious..." Saintess Yu Luo only took a small bite, her pupils constricting in surprise, but she quickly covered her red lips, seemingly wanting to maintain her image.

"Oh? Is it really that delicious?" Saintess Qin Mengyao Qin Mengyao looked curious and familiarly walked up to snatch a grilled fish.

However, she only took a small bite before being captivated by the aroma of the grilled fish.

"Little brother, I didn't expect your fish-grilling skills to be so impressive?"

"Why don't you just grill fish for your big sister every day? I certainly won't treat you badly, how about it?"

Saintess Qin Mengyao Qin Mengyao rambled while devouring the fish.

Lin Ran rolled his eyes at her, "You wish."

To have a Prodigy like him, who possessed various supreme Physiques, grill fish for Saintess Qin Mengyao Qin Mengyao?

If those heads of major factions in the outside world heard this, wouldn't they curse Saintess Qin Mengyao Qin Mengyao for wasting such a treasure?!

Perhaps Saintess Yu Luo was captivated by the aroma of the grilled fish, or perhaps she was truly famished.

She no longer cared about her image and started devouring it as well.

"Brother Lin, this fish was grilled by you using the Pure Yang Chaos Fire, right? No wonder it's so delicious; it can be called a delicacy of the world!"

Yue Hanzheng also held a grilled fish casually and smiled.

"Naturally. However, I also possess an Immortal Fire; if I were to use this Immortal Fire to grill fish, perhaps the taste wouldn't be any worse than that grilled with the Pure Yang Chaos Fire."

"If there is a chance next time, I'll show you my skills again," Lin Ran said with a smile.

"Young Master Lin is truly amazing, to actually possess an Immortal Fire?!" Ye Ling said with a face full of admiration and worship.

To her, an Immortal Fire was a supreme treasure that might only exist in legends; she had never seen one in her life.

But she didn't expect that the exiled immortal before her actually possessed an Immortal Fire.

This added another layer of mystery to Lin Ran in her heart.

"Haha! Then we'll have to look forward to that!" Yue Hanzheng laughed.

Although using an Immortal Fire to grill fish was a bit of an overkill.

But right now, how could they care about such things? They could only let Lin Ran dangle the carrot in front of them.

Lin Ran's lips curled slightly as he looked at Yu Xi, who was swallowing her saliva on the side but was hindered by her pride, only able to stand there hesitating. The smile on his lips became even more playful.

After all, Yu Xi had said it herself earlier that even if she starved to death here, she would not eat a single fish he grilled.

However, he was a magnanimous person who could forgive small slights, so he wouldn't mind these minor details.

"I wonder if Miss Yu Xi would do me the honor of tasting my grilled fish?" Lin Ran grabbed a grilled fish and handed it to Yu Xi.

A smile rippled at the corners of Yu Xi's lips, but she still feigned haughtiness, "Well, since you've already said so, this young lady will naturally do you the honor."

After saying that, she quickly took the grilled fish and started devouring it.

After eating and drinking their fill, everyone let out a satisfied belch.

Saintess Yu Luo narrowed her eyes comfortably, seemingly having temporarily forgotten her previous worries.

"Let's go, it's time for us to get down to business."

"Ye Ling, you should have entered the Garden of Final Mourning before, right?" Lin Ran asked.

Ye Ling nodded, "Mm! I still remember the way into the Garden of Final Mourning!"

"And, the path I took before was a relatively safe one; I rarely saw any god-burying flowers along the way!"

Lin Ran immediately said, "Good, then you lead the way in front."

"No problem! Everyone, follow me!"

Ye Ling led the way in front, and the others followed closely behind.

Saintess Yu Luo said, "By the way, Lin Ran, that person holds a pitch-black jar in his hand, and the jar is filled with the Strange Way Source; it is very powerful."

"If we encounter him later, we must be careful of that Magic Treasure!"

Lin Ran nodded slightly and asked, "Saintess Yu Luo, does that person come from Heavenly God Mountain?"

Saintess Yu Luo shook her head, "I don't know most of the factions in the Tiandu Demon Realm, so I don't know which faction that person comes from."

"But his strength is indeed not to be underestimated!"
