419: Mr. Lin Fan, let me serve you [Please read more]

Lin Fan felt the soft touch on his back, and his heart couldn't help but quicken.

Taking a deep breath and suppressing the agitation in his heart, Lin Fan turned around, held Xin Qing's shoulders, and said softly, "Didn't I tell you? You don't have to do this; I would still help the Nine-tailed Clan."

"I know," Xin Qing said softly, her pretty face slightly flushed, "but I still want to stay. This is... this is my own decision, and it has nothing to do with my mother or the clan."

After speaking, Xin Qing proactively threw herself into Lin Fan's embrace, burying her head in his chest, her delicate ears already red to the roots.

"Xin Qing, don't act on impulse and do something you'll regret," Lin Fan said, his voice a little dry as he felt the warmth of the delicate body in his arms.

"I don't regret it, Lin Fan. Let me serve you..." Xin Qing slightly raised her head, her eyes showing determination, then she somewhat boldly reached out, wrapped her arms around Lin Fan's neck, stood on her tiptoes, and pressed her small lips towards Lin Fan's lips... Facing the somewhat proactive Xin Qing, Lin Fan no longer held back and responded.

As time passed, neither party was satisfied with this superficial contact, and they gradually removed the obstacles from each other's bodies... The night wind gently brushed, and the trees outside the window swayed with the wind from time to time. In the silent deep night, a crisp creaking sound faintly echoed.

A dark cloud drifted by, and the silver moon seemed shy, hiding in the clouds... In the next few days, Lin Fan and Lin Dong stayed in Nine-tailed Village, waiting for the day of the Thunder Abyss Mountain gathering.

Lin Dong focused on Cultivating in his room every day, while Lin Fan and Xin Qing were always together, a few bold Nine-tailed Clan maidens occasionally teasing them.

During the day, he went out for leisurely strolls, and at night, Lin Fan enjoyed the service of the fox fairy maiden, feeling quite content.

On this day, Lin Fan and Xin Qing were strolling together in Nine-tailed Village when they inadvertently passed by a solemn-looking hall. From that hall, Lin Fan vaguely felt some uncomfortable sensation.

"What is that place?" Lin Fan's eyebrows twitched slightly as he asked Xin Qing.

"That is the Ancestral Soul Hall," Xin Qing hesitated for a moment but still told him truthfully.

"Ancestral Soul Hall," Lin Fan's heart stirred upon hearing this, and he immediately understood where the uncomfortable feeling came from. However, he asked, "What is it for? Is it a place to worship the ancestors of the Nine-tailed Clan?"

Xin Qing lowered her head silently when Lin Fan asked, biting her lips tightly, struggling in her heart, unsure whether to tell Lin Fan.

Seeing this, Lin Fan rubbed Xin Qing's head and smiled, "I just asked casually. If it's inconvenient to say, then forget it. Let's go to other places."

"Actually, there's nothing that can't be said," Xin Qing hesitated for a moment, then recounted the story of the Ancestral Soul Hall to Lin Fan.

Lin Fan pondered for a moment and said, "There's likely a problem within your Ancestral Soul Hall."

"A problem?" Xin Qing was somewhat puzzled upon hearing this.

Lin Fan said, "You must have seen the battle at the Flame God Hall in the Chaotic Demon Sea before. My battles with Other-worldly Demons, not just that one, but I've had several encounters and have a certain understanding of the Otherworldly Demon Energy."

"Just now, I sensed some uncomfortable Qi from that Ancestral Soul Hall. I didn't pay much attention to it initially, but after hearing your situation and recalling it carefully, the source of my discomfort is precisely Otherworldly Demon Energy."

"However, it's different from the Otherworldly Demon Energy I've encountered several times before, so I didn't recognize it immediately."

"Are you saying there's an Other-worldly Demon in the Ancestral Soul Hall! Were the clan members who entered the Ancestral Soul Hall earlier killed by an Other-worldly Demon?" Xin Qing's face instantly turned pale upon hearing this, and her voice trembled.

Lin Fan said, "It's very likely."

"Big Brother Lin Fan, I need to go find my mother and tell her about this," Xin Qing's expression changed for a while, and she asked Lin Fan for his opinion.

Lin Fan nodded and said, "Of course you should tell Aunt Xin. Other-worldly Demons are extremely difficult to kill, and they also have the ability to absorb vital blood to reshape their physical bodies."

"If this trouble isn't resolved, and that Other-worldly Demon fully recovers, the Nine-tailed Clan might face the danger of annihilation!"

Xin Qing's expression grew even more solemn upon hearing Lin Fan's words.

Soon, the two found Xin Qing's mother and recounted Lin Fan's judgment to her.

"Young Master Lin Fan, how confident are you in your judgment?" Aunt Xin's face immediately changed dramatically upon learning of this, and she quickly asked.

"Ninety percent," Lin Fan said with a serious expression, "Lin Dong and I have some abilities to restrain Other-worldly Demons. For the safety of the Nine-tailed Clan, it's best to enter it now and completely eliminate that Other-worldly Demon."

Aunt Xin said with some worry, "If it really is an Other-worldly Demon, can you two solve it?"

Lin Fan smiled and said, "Aunt Xin, don't worry. That Other-worldly Demon only dares to cower in the Ancestral Soul Hall, it must be in a weakened state. I am fully confident that I can resolve it."

As he spoke, Lin Fan's mind moved slightly, and he released the Devouring Corpse from the System Space.

Upon seeing the suddenly appearing Devouring Corpse, Aunt Xin's expression immediately changed.

"Aunt Xin, there's no need to worry. This is my partner," Lin Fan smiled slightly and said, "He possesses the strength of the Reincarnation Realm. In the Chaotic Demon Sea, it was he who annihilated an Other-worldly Demon of the Reincarnation Realm. Xin Qing has also seen him."

Xin Qing also nodded and said, "Mother, this is true. Many people saw it at the Flame God Hall at that time."

After a while, Aunt Xin bowed to Lin Fan and said solemnly, "Young Master Lin Fan, the lives of our entire clan are entrusted to you!"

Lin Fan helped Aunt Xin up from a distance and said, "Aunt Xin, don't worry, there won't be any problems."

Subsequently, Aunt Xin summoned the elders of the Nine-tailed Clan and decided to open the Ancestral Soul Hall.

At Lin Fan's suggestion, what Aunt Xin announced to the outside was still the opening of the Ancestral Soul Hall for Xin Qing to inherit the power of her ancestors.

The elders of the Nine-tailed Clan had no objections to this.

Although they had some worries in their hearts, for the Nine-tailed Clan to rise, they still placed their hopes on Xin Qing.

The group followed Aunt Xin directly to the location of the Ancestral Soul Hall.

There, there was a huge altar.

Aunt Xin led the crowd onto the altar. In the center of the altar, there was a stone platform. She clasped her hand, and a palm-sized bronze statue appeared.

The bronze statue was blood-red, a fox, but behind it, nine tails swayed wildly. Although this bronze statue was not a real object, Lin Fan still felt a monstrous Demonic Qi from it.

It seemed that the most important thing in the so-called Ancestral Soul Hall was this fox bronze statue, and the altar was just a supplementary form.

Aunt Xin placed the bronze statue on the stone platform, flicked her finger, and a blood ball appeared, from which a strong smell of blood emanated.

"That is the blood of all our Nine-tailed Clan members. Only this method can open the Ancestral Soul Hall, but each time the Ancestral Soul Hall is opened, it will consume a lot of the bronze statue's power. This time should be the last opening, and then the bronze statue will shatter and dissipate..."

Xin Qing said with a complex expression beside Lin Fan.

Lin Fan nodded and said, "This time, the problem will definitely be resolved." (End of chapter)
