336: Arriving at Tianshang City! [Seeking follow-up reading]

“It’s those stinky guys from the Blood Demon Shark Clan, the ones Big Brother killed during the day,” the girl in green responded, quickly devouring an entire roasted fish.

Upon hearing the girl in green’s words, Lin Dong was startled and subconsciously looked at Lin Fan.

Lin Fan gently shook his head, saying nothing.

Lin Fan was also somewhat amazed by Mu Lingshan’s ability; he hadn't even noticed her observing the battle from the side.

Seeing that Lin Fan said nothing, Lin Dong also remained silent and handed another roasted fish to the girl in green.

The girl in green’s appetite seemed astonishing; she ate over twenty large roasted fish before finally feeling satisfied and stopping. She then patted her little belly and sweetly smiled at Lin Fan and Lin Dong, “Thank you, two Big Brothers.”

At this moment, there was still some grease on the corners of her mouth, but her smile was so sweet it made one’s heart melt.

“What’s your name?” Lin Fan asked with a smile when he saw she had finished eating.

“Mu Lingshan,” the girl in green tugged at her pigtails, then looked at Lin Fan and Lin Dong with her big eyes and said, “What about you two Big Brothers?”

“My name is Lin Fan,” Lin Fan smiled slightly, then pointed at Lin Dong and said, “His name is Lin Dong, and he is my younger brother.”

“Both names are so ordinary,” Mu Lingshan said with a giggle. Then she tilted her head and stared in Lin Dong’s direction, saying,

“Actually, I wasn’t attracted by the roasted fish. I just couldn’t help but follow along when I saw Big Brother Lin Dong.”

Lin Fan asked, “When did you start following us?”

“Just today, when you met those guys, I saw you, and then I kept following,” Mu Lingshan answered honestly.

Lin Dong’s eyes narrowed slightly. He exchanged a glance with Lin Fan, then looked at Mu Lingshan and asked, “Why are you following us?”

“I don’t know,” Mu Lingshan shook her head, her two pigtails swaying with her. “I just followed… I don’t know why, but I always feel that Big Brother Lin Dong wouldn’t hurt me.”

Lin Dong frowned tightly; everything seemed truly bizarre to him.

How could this Mu Lingshan believe that he, a complete stranger, wouldn’t hurt her?

Lin Fan, however, knew the reason but did not say it aloud.

“Big Brother, I’m injured and need to rest first.”

Mu Lingshan, on the other hand, didn’t care what Lin Dong and the other thought. After saying this with a giggle, she curled up on a nearby stone like a kitten and fell asleep.

This scene left Lin Dong speechless.

“Brother Lin Fan, do you think this girl is telling the truth?”

The bonfire blazed in the forest, and Lin Dong’s expression, illuminated by the firelight, was somewhat uncertain. He looked at the sleeping Mu Lingshan and asked Lin Fan, who was beside him.

“Judging by her appearance, she doesn’t seem to be lying. Moreover, this little girl has a pure heart, so she should be telling the truth,” Lin Fan shook his head slightly and said.

Lin Dong whispered, “I don’t know her background, or why she has this inexplicable trust in me.”

Just then, the two suddenly saw a deep blue light emanating from Mu Lingshan’s body.

These lights enveloped her like a protective shield.

Additionally, as the light shield appeared, the gruesome wounds on Mu Lingshan’s slender arms healed at a visible speed.

“This is…” Lin Dong watched this scene, a wave of surprise washing over him.

“Undying Evolution Heaven Art…” At this moment, Yan’s slightly surprised voice suddenly rang out.

As the voice fell, Yan’s somewhat ethereal shadow also appeared in Lin Fan and Lin Dong’s line of sight.

“Undying Evolution Heaven Art? What is that?” Lin Dong was slightly stunned and asked curiously.

“Could this little girl be from the Undying Holy Whale Clan? How can she know their unique art?” Yan muttered.

Upon hearing that name, Lin Dong’s pupils couldn’t help but contract slightly.

The Undying Holy Whale Clan was a rather formidable race throughout the Chaotic Demon Sea.

Following this, Yan spent a good deal of time speculating and judging Mu Lingshan’s identity, but couldn’t figure out anything conclusive. Finally, he somewhat helplessly returned to the ancestral stone.

Night quickly passed.

As dawn approached, the sleeping Mu Lingshan finally opened her big eyes, and a lively spirit once again emerged within her dark, sparkling gaze.

“Slept well?” Lin Fan asked with a smile when he saw Mu Lingshan awake.

“Mm,” Mu Lingshan nodded with a giggle, then asked, “Big Brother, where are you two planning to go?”

“We are planning to go to the Heavenly Merchant Domain,” Lin Fan said with a smile.

Mu Lingshan blinked her eyes upon hearing this, then giggled, “You’re going for the Heavenly Merchant Auction, aren’t you?”

Lin Fan smiled and nodded, saying, “You’re quite clever; you guessed it right away.”

Mu Lingshan giggled, then continued, “Can I go to the Heavenly Merchant Domain with you?”

“Haha, then let’s go together,” Lin Fan chuckled and said.

“Thank you, Brother Lin Fan,” Mu Lingshan was immediately overjoyed upon hearing this.

Seeing that Lin Fan had agreed to Mu Lingshan accompanying them, Lin Dong said nothing.

Immediately, the group of three flew towards the Heavenly Merchant Domain.

In this Chaotic Demon Sea, the Heavenly Merchant Domain was a relatively peculiar place.

Not only because it connected several sea regions, but also because of the convergence of various rare treasures here, which made the Heavenly Merchant Domain’s reputation in the Chaotic Demon Sea surpass that of the Tianfeng Sea Region by a great deal.

The Heavenly Merchant Domain was formed by over a thousand interconnected islands, essentially an oceanic landmass.

Not only was its terrain complex, but even more intricate were the interwoven forces within it.

The most powerful force in the entire Heavenly Merchant Domain was the one named Tian Shang Pavilion.

The strength and foundation of the Tian Shang Pavilion were even stronger than, or at least not weaker than, the two great Cave Heavens in the Tianfeng Sea Region.

The upcoming Heavenly Merchant Auction was hosted by the Tian Shang Pavilion, and its venue was in Heavenly Merchant City, the central city of the Heavenly Merchant Domain.

After leaving the small island, Lin Fan and his group of three headed directly for Heavenly Merchant City.

This time, they didn’t encounter any obstacles along the way; the journey was very smooth. Thus, in just five days, land appeared on the boundless sea.

And in the sky, almost in an instant, it became chaotic and noisy, with countless streaks of light passing by, as if forming a vast network of light in the sky.

This was already within the scope of the Heavenly Merchant Domain.

“So lively!”

Mu Lingshan’s clear big eyes gazed at the extremely bustling Heavenly Merchant City, her small face filled with excitement and novelty.

“Let’s go, we’ll head straight to Heavenly Merchant City,” Lin Fan smiled and said to Lin Dong and Mu Lingshan.

Lin Dong and Mu Lingshan both had no objections. Immediately, the group set off again, transforming into three streaks of light, and flew towards Heavenly Merchant City.

Half a day later, the group of three finally arrived at the center of the Heavenly Merchant Domain, Heavenly Merchant City.

There, a gigantic city, so vast it almost occupied an entire island, appeared in their line of sight.

Above the city, a pale yellow light shield enveloped it. That was the protective formation of Heavenly Merchant City, and its formidable strength was in no way inferior to the Dao Sect’s protective formation.

Perhaps certain functions of the protective formation were not activated, as everyone could easily pass through the formation and enter the interior.

Lin Fan and the two others also followed some people, passing directly through the formation and entering the renowned Heavenly Merchant City.

Immediately upon entering Heavenly Merchant City, the three were drawn to a magnificent black pavilion, nearly a thousand zhang tall, located in the very center of the city.
