My father is the main character, but the female leads want to kill me.

Mu Shiwen snorted coldly, stepped on Lin Ran's back, and made hand seals. As the deep blue light lit up, the eye mark on the back of Lin Ran's neck suddenly lit up. Lin Ran, who was suffering from the pain in her knees, did not expect that her soul would suddenly be stabbed by a cold needle. The pain that went deep into her bones made Lin Ran let out a miserable scream.

The screams echoed in the room, but because Mu Shiwen had already locked down the space, no sound could escape. During this time, she planned to torture this person thoroughly to vent her hatred…

……

In a mansion on a sky island belonging to the Celestials…

After completing her cultivation task for the day, Lin Hongjia took the Dragon and Phoenix Jade Pendant, wondering what she should say to Lin Ran. However, as soon as she held the pendant, Lin Hongjia was stunned because she sensed that the soul imprint belonging to Lin Ran on the pendant had become very weak.

"Something must have happened to him!"

Lin Hongjia suddenly became apprehensive. When she chatted with Lin Ran before, Lin Ran's soul imprint was very strong and even stronger than before, but now it was as weak as a candle in the wind.

She quickly sat up, and just as she was about to call Old Wang for help, the jade bracelet on her wrist suddenly shone with a brilliant golden light, forming a golden protective shield around Lin Hongjia, seemingly blocking some mysterious force. A muffled sound could be heard.

After blocking that mysterious power, the golden shield dissipated on its own.

Lin Hongjia looked at the jade bracelet on her left hand in surprise. This jade bracelet was given to her by her clan to prevent anyone with ulterior motives from investigating her. It could be said that no one in the Nine Provinces Continent should be able to find out any information about her unless they reached that legendary realm. Thinking of Lin Ran's suddenly weakened soul imprint, she became more and more convinced that Lin Ran must have been targeted by someone whose strength was far superior to the Spirit Pill Realm.

“If it were just a Nirvana Realm cultivator targeting him, Lin Ran should be fine with the spatial teleportation I gave him. But in this situation, it's clear that spatial teleportation is useless, which means this person still knows spatial sealing. Anyone with this ability must be a Dragon Transformation Realm cultivator. So…”

Lin Hongjia frowned slightly. She thought of a possibility: if the Dragon Transformation Realm was reached, then it definitely wouldn't be the Li Dynasty anymore. Even in Liezhou, there weren't many Dragon Transformation Realm experts.

Even if they did, they probably wouldn't have any interaction with Lin Ran. As for offending any powerful forces, she still trusted Lin Ran and wouldn't actively provoke forces she couldn't afford to offend. That would probably just be...

Eldar!

This is a powerful and ancient force, just like the Celestial Race.

Lin Hongjia felt that this was probably true, and only the Spirit Clan had enough powerful individuals to support them in doing such a thing.

It's possible that the Holy Maiden couldn't withstand the torture back then and finally revealed Lin Ran and the others' location, then sent experts to search for them. Or perhaps someone from the Spirit Clan cultivated that forbidden bloodline talent and then investigated Lin Ran and the others' location.

Lin Hongjia leaned more towards the latter, because she had investigated through the Celestial Clan's channels and found that the Holy Maiden, who was Lin Ran's former wife, was still alive, possibly imprisoned and being tortured.

Since it hasn't been revealed for so many years, it's impossible that it suddenly couldn't hold on. It's likely that someone has cultivated a forbidden bloodline talent. After all, those bloodline talents in the Spirit Race that can defy fate, foresee the future, understand the past, and create illusions are extremely terrifying.

If it weren't for the fact that almost no one in the Spirit Clan has been able to cultivate such bloodline talent in recent years, the Spirit Clan would have long since become the number one power. With their forbidden bloodline talents, there are few rivals in the Nine Provinces Continent.

"The Spirit Clan is facing a great crisis. People with such talent can easily find out. They probably won't want to kill Lin Ran. They might torture her, but in any case, since they dare to harm Lin Ran, they should be prepared to be killed by me later!"

Lin Hongjia's calm voice carried a hint of murderous intent. She tucked the Dragon and Phoenix Jade into her bosom and strode away from her residence…

……

In the Central Region, where the Sword Sect is located, a strange thing also happened.

In a training ground of the Sword Sect, a stunningly beautiful woman dressed in white was wielding a strange longsword that was not sharpened and even had a rounded tip. She was performing various sword techniques on the arena, as if she were dancing with a sword. Pale blue sword energy danced around, drawing grooves on the arena.

After finishing her sword routine, the woman in white was thinking of going down from the arena to wipe her sweat and rest when, unexpectedly, the jade pendant she wore at her waist suddenly emitted a pale blue light and quickly formed a solid protective shield. This startled the woman in white. A muffled sound was heard, and after a moment, the blue shield disappeared.

"what happened?"

The woman in white glanced at the jade pendant she wore at her waist. She vaguely remembered that it was meant to protect her and shield her own aura. The fact that it had just been activated proved that someone was spying on her.

"Who could it be?" The woman in white pondered. She rarely left her sect, the only time being...

"It's a pity that person... never contacted me after taking the jade bracelet..." The woman in white suddenly thought of this, and memories of the past flooded her mind. But her heart suddenly felt like it was being scraped by a knife, and she felt a pain that cut to the core.

The woman in white quickly sat cross-legged on the ground, chanting a calming mantra to soothe her chaotic mind. Gazing at the azure sky, a bitter smile appeared on her lips as she murmured softly, "What a wicked person, I really want to kill them..."

"But can you really bring yourself to do it?"

……

Mu Shiwen looked at Lin Ran, who had fainted on the floor of the room, and kicked her aside.

She felt somewhat agitated. Just moments ago, when she was exploring Lin Ran's memories, things were going smoothly until she encountered obstacles. She couldn't access many of the memories, clearly because a mysterious force was blocking her way.

But she also got what she wanted, yet she still couldn't understand what it was about this ordinary man that attracted her sister.

Moreover, this man also found a slutty vixen named Li Yuhan. Seeing those filthy things, she couldn't help but feel nauseous. Was this woman also bewitched? How could she be willing to do such things?

Seeing the pool of blood beneath Lin Ran and her weakened soul, Mu Shiwen formed a hand seal, and a deep blue light shone on Lin Ran's body. Under that light, her knee, which had exposed bone spurs, was perfectly repaired, and even her weakened soul gradually recovered and became fuller.

Mu Shiwen didn't rush to wake Lin Ran. She was thinking about how to deal with this man next.

She kept saying she wanted to kill this man and that man's child, but Mu Shiwen knew that if she really did kill them, her sister would hate her for life, and the sisters might even become enemies. She couldn't do that.

But she didn't want this person to be so carefree. Every time she saw her sister suffering, she felt like she was being tortured. She had thought about giving this bastard a special space package or getting close to him under a different identity to teach him a lesson.

But this person is quite steady. If there's a problem with the space tunnel, then he won't take it. He'll just stay here and do nothing but cultivate, go shopping, and eat, living like an ordinary person.

Although he often went to see women, he didn't do anything too outrageous. Sometimes she would get angry when she heard him making comments about women, but other times he would seriously spout profound truths, which made her feel strange.

She wanted to know why her sister was so infatuated with this man, so devoted to him, a lecherous, weak, talentless, boastful, and lazy person.

Perhaps we'll have an answer soon...?

……

Chapter Seventy-Six: Now I regret it, I really regret it.

Lin Ran had a very long nightmare.

He was in deep water, where the cold was biting, and it felt as if his soul was being pierced by needles of icy air, causing him unbearable pain, so much so that he could not even breathe, and a feeling of suffocation surged into his heart...

Lin Ran opened his eyes in fright and quickly sat up. His clothes were soaked with sweat, and he was panting heavily. He saw his knee and blood-stained pants, but the gruesome injury below had healed as if nothing had happened.

"Is this a dream?"

Lin Ran pressed his forehead against his hand, feeling dizzy and finding it difficult to even think.

"Of course it's not a dream..."

A crisp sound suddenly rang out in the room. Lin Ran turned her head to look at the bed. The woman named Mu Shiwen was sitting there, leaning against the headboard, with her arms crossed over her chest, looking at Lin Ran with a mocking expression.

Lin Ran's previously hazy mind cleared considerably upon seeing this devilish woman. Memories of his fainting spell resurfaced; he saw the woman form a hand seal, and his soul and body were tormented by an intense, chilling aura until he lost consciousness…

When did you tamper with my body?

Lin Ran was surprised that he hadn't noticed anything unusual. This woman's strength was terrifying! She was definitely at the Immortal Realm. If she wasn't, he would just eat her.

Why would such a powerful being bother him? His surname is Mu, and he's at the Undying Realm; could he be a member of the Spirit Clan? If so...

He seemed to have actually sent it. He vaguely remembered that in the original work, the forbidden bloodline talents of the Spirit Clan were so easy to find someone with those bloodline talents.

Seeing Lin Ran's changing expression, Mu Shiwen suddenly snapped her fingers. Lin Ran once again felt that terrifying, chilling aura, and her miserable screams echoed in the room before finally subsiding.

Lin Ran's eyes were bloodshot, and she looked as if she had just been pulled out of the water. Her chest heaved violently as she gasped for breath, afraid that the feeling of suffocation would return...

"Behave yourself from now on, understand? Don't have any other thoughts. If I find out, I will punish you. And don't even think about escaping, you can't escape!" Mu Shiwen stood up from the bed, looked at Lin Ran on the floor, and said coldly.

"What exactly do you want from me?" Lin Ran shouted hoarsely, her face contorted with rage.

Faced with Lin Ran's desperate struggle, Mu Shiwen remained silent, only continuing to snap her fingers, allowing Lin Ran to continue to suffer...

……

One night, Lin Ran found an opportunity to escape. Taking advantage of Mu Shiwen's relaxed vigilance, he went to an area where the space was not sealed off and activated the escape ring Jia'er had given him once again. With a flash of silver light...

But this time he still didn't return to the Lin family, instead appearing outside Jishui.

After witnessing this, Lin Ran knew she was doomed. The ring Jia'er gave her was definitely fine; the problem must be...

He turned around stiffly, and sure enough, Mu Shiwen appeared behind him at some point, her eyes full of mockery, and said, "Run, why don't you run?"

I was really looking forward to seeing how you would run away, but you still resorted to this trick, playing with spatial powers in front of me. I don't know whether to call you stupid or smart.

But then again, if you were smarter, you wouldn't have suffered like this!

Mu Shiwen flashed forward and delivered a fierce whip kick to Lin Ran's stomach.

Lin Ran instantly transformed into a cannonball and flew backward, crashing into the invisible spatial barrier and creating ripples.

It turns out that this place had already been sealed off by Mu Shiwen.

Lin Ran slid down from the barrier, and before she could recover, she was met with a storm of attacks from Mu Shiwen. Mu Shiwen didn't even need to use spiritual power; she could bully Lin Ran, who was only at the Spirit Core Realm, as easily as beating a dog with her bare body.

Lin Ran was beaten until she was covered in blood and could barely breathe.

Mu Shiwen then formed a hand seal, and with a flash of deep blue light, healed Lin Ran's injuries completely. She then picked Lin Ran up and continued the next round of torture.

However, after playing it too much, you'll eventually get tired of it.

Mu Shiwen still enjoyed the cat-and-mouse game more, so she deliberately let Lin Ran go a few times to see what other ways this guy could escape.

But after being caught and brought back a few times, Lin Ran simply stopped running away and became like a dead pig, letting her beat and torture her. She was getting a little bored with the game.

Mu Shiwen sat on the edge of the bed, legs crossed, chin resting on one hand, looking at Lin Ran in the corner of the room, disheveled and looking no different from a beggar outside, and couldn't help but say, "I've hit you for a while now, aren't you angry?"

Upon hearing Mu Shiwen's words, Lin Ran turned to look at Mu Shiwen, forcing a smile as she said, "Don't be angry, don't be angry!"

However, Lin Ran had already cursed Mu Shiwen countless times in his heart. He was already fantasizing about how he would play with this damn bitch once he became powerful.

But being a coward now is humiliating, but as long as you're alive, there's hope.

He wasn't the type to hold his pride. Since this woman wasn't planning to kill him, but rather to mold him like clay, he went straight for it!

Mu Shiwen laughed when she heard Lin Ran's words, and continued to tease, "You really want to kill me and play with me like a prostitute, don't you? Come on, I'll be waiting for you right here. If you make a move on me, I won't resist!"

Lin Ran:......

He ignored Mu Shiwen's words and continued to meditate with his eyes closed. He would rather take this time to rest than pay attention to this damned woman.

Seeing that Lin Ran ignored her, Mu Shiwen almost wanted to take action, but just as she was about to snap her fingers...

She suddenly remembered that Lin Ran's son was still in Jiezhou. She wouldn't lay a hand on her sister's child, but she could use him to provoke Lin Ran.

“Your child’s name is Lin Chong, right? I remember he’s in Jiezhou, right here, inside Tianli Academy. Shall I take you to find your child?” Mu Shiwen said.

Lin Ran suddenly opened her eyes, stared at Mu Shiwen, and angrily shouted, "Mu Shiwen, you stinking @#￥, what exactly do you want to do?"

"It's nothing, I just wanted your son to see what a worthless dog his father looks like now!" Mu Shiwen continued, "You wouldn't want your son to see that his father is such a dead dog, would you?"

"Take your anger out on me, don't involve your family, you stinking..."

Lin Ran was really anxious this time, and she unleashed her full power at Mu Shiwen, throwing out one vulgar and offensive sentence after another.

Hearing this, Mu Shiwen's face darkened, and she quickly snapped her fingers, letting the chilling energy continue to torment Lin Ran. But Lin Ran stubbornly endured the torment, continuing to hurl insults at Mu Shiwen, causing Mu Shiwen to intensify her attacks. Even so, Lin Ran continued to curse: "Mu...Mu Shiwen, you...you...you...you woman who...you're like a lowly brothel..."

"shut up!"

Mu Shiwen was so angered by Lin Ran's words that she broke down and amplified her yin energy to an unprecedented level. The terrifying yin energy almost overwhelmed Lin Ran's soul.

"shit!"
