I'm the protagonist's dad, but the heroines want to kill me

Mu Shishuang stretched out her little hand and asked.

Lin Ran smiled, took out a pot of fruit wine and stuffed it into Mu Shishuang's arms.

This time, Mu Shishuang was smart. He didn't take a big sip without even looking at the tea. Instead, he used the curiosity of tea tasting to test it very carefully. After making sure that it was the sour and sweet juice, he started drinking it.

"Don't just drink, eat some barbecue!"

Lin Ran picked up a skewer of meat and handed it over.

Mu Shishuang took the skewers and started eating without hesitation. His mouth was full of oil and he felt a little greasy, so he took a sip of wine to relieve the greasiness.

Lin Ran looked at Mu Shishuang eating meat and drinking wine with big mouthfuls, and thought that it would be great if he had a camera. He could take one out and record Mu Shishuang like this, which would surely become a dark history.

This time, Mu Shishuang got drunk faster than last time, and fell headfirst into Lin Ran's arms. His clothes were immediately stained by the oil from Mu Shishuang's mouth and hands. Seeing this, Lin Ran almost wanted to punch this bitch away.

He straightened Mu Shishuang's head. The girl's pretty face was red, her lips were greasy, and saliva was flowing from the corners of her mouth. But under the light of the bright yellow bonfire, her pretty face as she was sleeping was quite cute.

Although she is quite good-looking, she is not very likable at ordinary times, and she is only likable when she is sleeping.

"You should be thankful that there are no cameras in this world, otherwise my camera would be full of your dark history!" Lin Ran murmured in a low voice.

He placed the girl's head on his lap, and he cleaned up the food garbage all over the floor, and grilled some barbecue for Brother Yue Lei. Most of the previous portion had gone into Mu Shishuang's stomach.

"Hey, Brother Lin, I'm back!"

Yue Lei's sturdy figure emerged from the dark bushes, like a big black bear.

Lin Ran, who was about to pack his things, was startled. He looked up at Yue Lei and asked curiously, "What were you doing? Does it take so long to take a shower?"

Yue Lei spread his hands and said helplessly: "When I took off my clothes and prepared to take a shower, I ran into a few ignorant little monsters. I have lunch tomorrow!"

After saying that, Yue Lei took out a few monsters from the space ring. As soon as they were taken out, a bloody smell came to Lin Ran's nose, making him cover his nose with his hand.

Among those monsters, three were common monsters, but the last one was special. It looked like a lion, but there was a circle of flesh on its neck that looked like flames or blooming flowers.

Lin Ran stretched out his hand and pinched it, but felt a burning sensation. He subconsciously withdrew his hand. He looked at Yue Lei and asked, "Although this thing was beaten to a bloody mess by you, is it a fierce and heroic crowned lion?"

"I don't know what kind of monster this is, but after hearing what you said, the name and appearance of this monster are quite consistent!"

Yue Lei scratched his head. He took decisive action because he saw that this thing was very unique. The other ones were just hit accidentally.

Lin Ran took a wooden stick and turned over the body of the fierce crowned lion. After judging the age of the monster, he looked at Yue Lei and asked, "When you encountered this little thing, were there no other monsters of the same tribe around it?"

Yue Lei thought about it seriously, shook his head, and said, "That's not the case. Is there any problem?"

"These fierce crowned lions usually live in groups. This one is a little young, so it must have run away. I'm afraid that if you hit a young one, it will attract a large group of old ones." Lin Ran said helplessly.

“Hey, Brother Lin, aren’t you here with us? You and I together can fight against anyone in the Dragon Transformation Realm!” Yue Lei said confidently.

Lin Ran couldn't help but feel ashamed when he heard this. Is he sure that he is not dealing with the Dragon Transformation Realm unilaterally?

However, Lin Ran didn't care too much about this matter. He asked Yue Lei to put away the monsters and save them for lunch tomorrow. After Yue Lei grilled some barbecue, he sent Mu Shishuang back to the crooked tent. He sat at the door of the tent, ready to start the night watch.

The moon tonight was blocked by thick dark clouds. Without the illumination of moonlight, the jungle, which was already filled with miasma, appeared even darker.

There were only sporadic lights in the camp. Lin Ran placed a candlestick next to him. The dim light illuminated his small area. He sat on a small bench, quietly looking at the jungle outside the fence.

In the quiet night, any slight sound seemed to be infinitely magnified in the ears. Lin Ran, who was dozing with his eyes squinted, suddenly opened his eyes and looked towards the group of tents in the camp.

A male student came out from the tents of Songling Academy and went into the small tent where the female mercenary was.

After a while, Lin Ran heard a piece of music called "Growth", which suddenly added some fun to his boring vigil.

It was not until late at night that the male student came out of the tent. He looked in Lin Ran's direction with a guilty conscience before going back into the tent.

Lin Ran shook his head and smiled. He could understand this behavior. Mulan had been doing things like putting her head on the waist of her pants for years, so naturally she needed a way to vent.

The group of young people who are about to go to Qianlong Mountain to participate in the secret realm competition are under great pressure. Venting the pressure in this way is also a method, but Lin Ran does not recommend it!

After continuing to guard the night for a while, it was time to change shifts.

At this time, Fu Yuemei walked out of the tent on time and came to Lin Ran.

Lin Ran looked up at his apprentice, took out a small stool and put it aside, and said with a smile: "You will be on guard in the second half of the night, Yuemei!"

"Ok!"

Fu Yuemei nodded, looked towards the group of tents over there, biting her lip, looking as if she wanted to say something but hesitated.

When Lin Ran saw this, he couldn't help but pat his apprentice on the head and said, "Did you hear that noise?"

Fu Yuemei quickly turned her head and looked at Lin Ran, blushing and saying, "Master... did you hear it too?"

"I think anyone who is not asleep should be able to hear it!"

Lin Ran smiled and comforted his little apprentice, saying, "Don't take it too seriously. It's other people's business. It's enough for us to do our own thing."

"But...but they have only known each other for a short time..."

Fu Yuemei said in a low voice. She still found it a little hard to accept. How could a girl be so casual?

"Child, when you have seen more in the future, you will encounter more absurd things. The Kyushu Continent is so big, there must be all kinds of people. Maybe you will see a lot of filth, but what I hope is that you will not let these filths destroy your heart that still yearns for purity and beauty!" Lin Ran said slowly.

Fu Yuemei looked at Lin Ran's eyes, which were full of light again. She smiled sweetly: "Thank you, Master!"

"Don't thank me. I'm just pretending to be powerful and showing off my skills in front of you. You won't learn these things without me teaching you. Sooner or later, you will learn them!"

"That's not the case, Master!"

Fu Yuemei's voice suddenly became a little higher. She stood up and said to Lin Ran, "Without Master, there would be no Yuemei today. And in my opinion, Master is the most powerful!"

Fu Yuemei still remembered the moment more than a month ago when her master stood up straight in the face of the brutal and unreasonable oppression from the powerful Dragon Transformation Realm warrior at the Shengqiong Academy. This was a scene she would never forget and was a role model for her throughout her life.

Lin Ran was a little surprised. He began to understand the meaning of being a teacher. Perhaps it was the joy and satisfaction that welled up from his heart when his students thanked him. Even this old man wanted to cry.

"Okay, Yuemei, you go keep watch. I'll go take a rest. Call me if you need anything!"

Lin Ran fled back to the tent. He was afraid that Yuemei would say something touching to him again, and he would not be able to hold back his tears. The older he got, the more he could not stand this.

.....

The sky gradually brightened, and the problem of the Fierce Crowned Lion that worried Lin Ran did not appear throughout the night. After their convoy packed up the camp, they set out again for Qianlong Mountain.

But as they gradually go deeper into the hinterland of Qianzhou, that seldom visited place that has never been explored by anyone, there will be many unknown dangers hidden. For all the teams heading to the secret realm of Qianlong Mountain, the real fight has actually officially begun after setting out from Qinglong City.

After all, not everyone has a strong person in the Dragon Transformation Realm to escort them. Those teams that don’t have a strong person in the Dragon Transformation Realm to escort them will have to worry about the dangers on the way forward.

If I didn't have a trump card, some tricks and knowledge, I probably wouldn't have to go to that secret realm, because I would have been wiped out on the way...

……

120. Ancient Dragon Gate

"Ancient Dragon Gate, is there any story behind this place?"

Lin Ran sat in the front of the carriage, looked at Mulan who was driving the carriage, and continued to ask questions.

Just now, Mulan said that there was a very interesting relic in the place they were about to pass by, and the name of the relic was called Ancient Dragon Gate.

Lin Ran thought hard but couldn't remember such a place in the original novel, so he could only attribute it to the unimportant plot.

But this made Lin Ran even more curious. "Longmen", such a domineering name, should be a place with great treasures.

"Mr. Lin, it's better not to have too high expectations!"

Mulan knew what Lin Ran was thinking. Anyone who came to Qianzhou from outside would want to explore when they heard this name. Who wouldn't want to discover a treasure that could make them stronger and then become famous?

"That ancient dragon gate, including the ruins around it, has been completely explored. There are no valuable treasures. The only valuable thing is perhaps the scenery of its ruins..."

Lin Ran, who was originally very interested, lost interest all of a sudden after hearing Mulan's words. When he was about to mark this place as unimportant in his "original notebook", the flowers in his mind became interesting instead.

"Lin Ran, go and take a look later, I'm familiar with these places!" Fanhua shouted.

"You understand again?" Lin Ran replied.

"Hey, I understand you!"

Fanhua remembered the words Lin Ran had said before and used them to describe herself.

Lin Ran didn't know whether he should laugh or not, but if this word appears in this world, then just take it as a compliment!

Their convoy continued driving and encountered some convoys from other teams along the way. Lin Ran and his team did not take the initiative to say hello, but the other party greeted them instead.

After asking, I found out that the other party was from Xingzhou in the Southern Region. He heard that there was a secret realm competition in Qianzhou, so he came to join in the fun. When he learned that Lin Ran and his group were from Linghua Academy, one of the five major academies, his attitude also changed. It wasn't that he became bad, but he became more respectful.

The reason behind this is quite easy to understand. The only ones who can look down on Linghua Academy are the likes of Canglong, Shengqiong or the Qin family of the War Alliance. They have people at the Immortal Realm and more than one at the Dragon Transformation Realm, so they are naturally qualified.

Linghua Academy is just not as good as the best but better than the worst. If any Tom, Dick and Harry come to take advantage of it, Lin Ran may have to take action to prove himself.

The convoy took a break on the way. Lin Ran was under a big tree, looking towards the northwest with a telescope. That was the ancient Dragon Gate that Mulan mentioned.

“This facade is so magnificent!”

Lin Ran sighed in a low voice.

Judging from the picture seen through the telescope now, this ancient Dragon Gate seems to be built against the valley, and the entrance to the valley is the gate. On both sides of the gate are stone pillars that are enough for several people to hug, and on both sides of the stone pillars there is a giant dragon climbing up around the pillars.

Although there is a lot of moss on the base and some gaps and breaks can be seen on the stone pillars, the lifelike dragon makes people look forward to the interior of the ruins even more.

Mu Shishuang, who was standing by, saw Lin Ran holding the telescope and trying to reach out to grab the telescope, but was immediately discovered by Lin Ran and his evil little hand was grabbed.

Lin Ran looked at Mu Shishuang, showed the evidence in his hand, and said, "What do you want to do?"

"I also want to use that thing to take a look at the ancient dragon gate!" Mu Shishuang said bluntly.

"That's it!"

Lin Ran thought for a moment, put the telescope in Mu Shi's hands, and said, "I'll show it to you, but you must use it with care and don't damage it."

"Ok!"

Mu Shishuang nodded, and when he took the telescope, he played with it carefully, just like a child getting a new toy.

At this time Lin Ran also walked to Mulan. Mulan was chatting with the little boy from Songling Academy last night. When Mulan saw Lin Ran coming, she waved her hand to let the little boy go away. The little boy from Songling Academy looked at Mulan reluctantly, said hello to Lin Ran and left.

Lin Ran looked at the boy and couldn't help but teasing Mulan: "It seems that he was the boy who fell in love with you last night!"

Mulan was not shy and said frankly: "Mr. Lin, please don't make fun of me. You were the one who was on guard last night. How could you not know? But Mr. Lin, don't worry, I will definitely not delay this mission!"

Lin Ran nodded. He would not interfere in Mulan's personal affairs. All he wanted was for Mulan to be absolutely serious and professional when dealing with the tasks.

Skipping this question, Lin Ran asked, "I think we are not far from the Ancient Dragon Gate, right?"

Mulan nodded and smiled, "It's not far. We're only a short distance away. Mr. Lin can take the students to visit the ruins. I personally think the murals inside are worth seeing!"

"Then I'll really have to see it when the time comes!" Lin Ran said.

After the convoy finished its repairs, it continued on its journey. Around noon when the sun was at its strongest, Lin Ran and others arrived at the ancient dragon gate.

When you see the huge stone pillars standing on both sides of the valley up close, you can feel the realism of the dragon even more.

When looking forward, Lin Ran was surprised to find that the so-called ruins were hollowed out on both sides of the mountain, and there were many ancient buildings full of the atmosphere of the times inside.

"Look at the appearance of this building, it is definitely from my era!"

The sound of flowers soon rang in Lin Ran's mind.

This also gave Lin Ran an idea in his mind. Although the era in which Fanhua and the others lived was definitely very far away from them now, it was relatively more ancient and could be considered the Medieval period.

"There shouldn't be a building built here for no reason. What do you think the reason is?" Lin Ran asked Fanhua.

After all, who would have so much free time to build such a large-scale complex in a place like this? It must be used for some purpose.

"Then we have to investigate it carefully. Let's go directly to the most important places. These places are just child's play!" Fanhua replied.

Hearing this, Lin Ran looked at Mulan who was driving the carriage slowly and asked, "Mulan, this place is too big, why don't you take us directly to the most worthwhile place to see!"

“What’s the most worthwhile place to visit?”

Mulan was stunned. She frowned and thought for a while, then smiled and said, "Then I'll take you to the square in front. Although it's a bit shabby, it does contain a lot of records!"

After saying this, Mulan waved her whip and urged the horse to speed up.

Soon, the ground they passed by was paved with blue bricks with vague patterns on them, but when they reached a fork in the road, Mulan stopped the carriage.

Mulan pointed to the fork on the left and said, "Turn out there and continue to head towards Qianlong Mountain. There are many huge rocks blocking the other side, so the carriage can't go in. We need to climb over those ruins to see that place."

Lin Ran didn't rush to make a decision. He got off the carriage and went to the convoy behind. After talking to Yue Lei for a few words, Lin Ran clapped his hands and shouted, "If anyone is willing to go with me to see the ruins inside, follow me. If not, stay here and watch the carriage with Vice President Yue!"

As soon as Lin Ran said this, students from both academies, except for a few from Songling Academy who were unwilling to come, all the rest joined Lin Ran's team.

"Mulan, go to the front and lead the team!" Lin Ran said.
