72: Chapter 72 Stealing Bloodline, Snatching the Reverse Scale, Xiao Huohuo Faints with Angry Indignation

"My Bloodline! My reverse scale!!!"

Xiao Huohuo's eyes bulged, feeling as though the most important things inside him had been ripped away by Lin Ran.

His Holy Dragon Bloodline and saint dragon reverse scale had been stolen, and he still wanted to use them to take revenge on Lin Ran?!

In an instant, his mind went blank, and boundless rage clouded his reason.

"Xiao Huohuo, this shall be the price you pay for challenging this True Disciple."

"I hope that when you come to challenge this True Disciple again, you can bring better Opportunities."

Lin Ran said cheerfully.

"Yay! Lin Ran, you're amazing! To deal with such a stinking rat, one should let him live out his life in despair and agony!!"

Watching Lin Ran act so ruthlessly, Li Huayin felt not even a shred of anger; instead, she approved wholeheartedly.

As a True Disciple of the Feixian Sect, one should act ruthlessly; otherwise, how could one establish a firm footing?

"Pfft!"

Li Huayin's words were like the last straw that broke the camel's back. Xiao Huohuo spat out a mouthful of blood and then fainted completely.

"Someone, throw this person out."

Lin Ran called for the guards and had them heartlessly toss Xiao Huohuo out of the Feixian Sect.

"Lin Ran, do you still have any issues now?"

Seemingly remembering something, Li Huayin hurriedly stepped forward to support Lin Ran, her expression filled with worry.

But the moment she finished speaking, Lin Ran suddenly clutched his chest, his face instantly turning pale.

"Was it still too much, after all? Li Huayin... *cough cough*, I feel like I can't catch my breath, maybe..."

Before Lin Ran could finish, Li Huayin kissed him without hesitation, breathing sweet air into him mouthful by mouthful.

"Lin Ran, do you feel better now?"

Li Huayin gently cupped Lin Ran's cheeks, her expression full of sincerity.

"My breathing is indeed much better, but my Physical Body is injured, and I'm afraid moving is inconvenient. I think I won't be able to return to Yin Yang Peak."

Lin Ran acted as though he felt much better, yet he remained weak and powerless.

"It's fine, Lin Ran. You can rest in my residence tonight; I will take good care of you."

Li Huayin supported Lin Ran and walked toward her residence.

"*Cough cough*! Sis, your brother was almost slapped to death by someone, aren't you going to show any concern for me?"

Li Zhenwu climbed up from the ground, bloodstains still lingering at the corners of his mouth.

He was different from the acting Lin Ran; he had truly sustained serious injuries!

"Tsk! You're grown up now, yet you still can't take care of yourself?"

"Just go back to your residence and apply some ointment, don't get in the way!"

Li Huayin frowned and said impatiently.

Li Zhenwu: ...

Fine, fine, fine!

You get a Dao Companion and forget your brother!?

He had sustained such serious injuries while guarding the gate here, at the very least!!!

Moreover, if it weren't for him playing matchmaker for the two of them in the beginning, would Li Huayin and Lin Ran have been able to reach this point today?!

"Heavens!!!"

Watching Li Huayin support Lin Ran as they entered the residence, Li Zhenwu couldn't help but wail.

"*Clap!*"

A sword hilt suddenly flew out from the residence, striking his left cheek.

"If you keep howling and disturbing Lin Ran again, do you believe I'll finish you off?!"

Li Huayin's angry voice came from the residence.

Li Zhenwu didn't dare to linger any longer, fearing that the next second Li Huayin would actually come out with her sword.

He scrambled back to his own residence...

【Ding! Congratulations to the Host for successfully completing the Heavenly Mandate Mission!】

【Reward: 8000 destiny points, top-tier True Intent—Life and Death True Intent!】

As the System's notification chime faded, another Dao Leaf was added to Lin Ran's Dao Fruit; it was none other than the Life and Death True Intent!

Lin Ran lay on Li Huayin's bed, the unique, delicate fragrance of the young maiden wafting into his nose, refreshing his heart and spirit.

"Now, there are already three Dao Leaves on my Dao Fruit..."

Regardless of who condenses a Dao Fruit, one can only Cultivate nine Dao Leaves.

As of now, besides the Destiny True Intent that had transformed into the Dao Fruit, Lin Ran had also cultivated the Yin-Yang True Intent, the Sword True Intent, and the Life and Death True Intent, which made for three Dao Leaves.

He had already decided that he would reserve the positions for the remaining six Dao Leaves for the Great Dao True Intents of the other six paths of the Immortal Nine Paths!

In this way, his main Dao would be the strongest Great Dao of Destiny, and among the nine auxiliary Daos, eight would be from the Immortal Nine Paths, and one would be the supreme offensive Great Dao of the Sword.

This could simply be called perfect!

"However, I must quickly comprehend the other Great Dao True Intents of the Immortal Nine Paths. System, hurry up and exert some effort!"

Lin Ran thought to himself.

Suddenly, he seemed to remember something, took out a sound transmission token, and transmitted: "Martial Aunt, are you resting?"

Before long, the sound transmission token flashed.

"No... hmm... not yet, your Martial Aunt is... hmm... thinking of you... ah..."

Listening to Yan Ruyu's voice, Lin Ran always felt something was not quite right.

But he didn't have time to dwell on it, instead saying: "Martial Aunt, someone was just thrown out of the Sect by me. Could you help me track him for a while and report his important movements to me?"

"Hmm... okay... okay, but... ah woo... Little Ranran, your Martial Aunt... is going to... need a reward."

"Don't worry, Martial Aunt, your junior nephew will definitely compensate you well later!"

"Hoo~ hoo~"

"Compensate your Martial Aunt later? That sounds like it might be nice too~"

"Little Ranran, waiting for you~"

Listening to Yan Ruyu's voice, Lin Ran always felt something was not quite right.

But he couldn't put his finger on what was wrong.

"Alright, then I will trouble you, Martial Aunt. Goodbye."

Having said that, Lin Ran put away the sound transmission token.

"Lin... Lin Ran, do... do you want to bathe?"

At this moment, Li Huayin walked in, looking shy and coy, her face tinged with a bashful red, like a flower bud just beginning to bloom.

"Bathe?"

Lin Ran's eyes rolled, and a flash of imperceptible cunning crossed them.

He feigned a helpless look and sighed: "Li Huayin, to be honest, I really want to agree, after all, after the great battle with Xiao Huohuo, I feel like my body is full of the stench of sweat."

"But I am seriously injured, and I feel very uncomfortable, as if moving even a little would affect my internal injuries, I... *sigh*!"

This speech was well-reasoned and logical, and Li Huayin believed it completely without doubt.

She moved with light steps, gently grasped Lin Ran's hand, and stammered:

"I... I know, so... so I think... I think it would be better if I help you bathe!"

By the end, Li Huayin was so shy she could barely speak.

As a young girl, and a maiden at that, she hadn't expected to take the initiative to offer to help Lin Ran bathe; wouldn't that be too shameful?!

How would Lin Ran look at her then?!

She didn't even dare to look at Lin Ran now...

"Alright, then I will trouble you, Li Huayin."

When she heard Lin Ran agree, her face was full of joy, and she hurriedly stepped forward to support Lin Ran.

"Lin Ran, walk slowly, no rush."

Li Huayin said softly, her eyes brimming with surging love.

She led Lin Ran to a large wooden barrel, which was filled with scalding hot water, and spiritual flower petals floated on top, emitting a delicate fragrance.
