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

"What's your personality..."

Lin Ran was about to refute Fanhua's words when his sight was attracted by the stone wall in front of him on the left. Embedded in the stone wall was a heavy stone door with floral patterns, and a sense of the vastness of time came over him.

"There really is something underneath this!"

Lin Ran cried out in a low voice, and hurried to the stone door. Looking at the stone door in front of him, it seemed that more than half of it was buried in the bricks and stones. He asked Fanhua anxiously, "How do we open this stone door?"

Fanhua said cautiously: "Continue to smash?"

Lin Ran: "..."

Is it true that the only way to open the door is by force? But the problem is, if you smash it, are you sure you won't bury yourself?

Seeing that Lin Ran didn't say anything, Fanhua became anxious instead. Thinking that Lin Ran was unhappy, she rattled off a series of methods: "See if there is a formation at this door, or use your blood to open the door, or input your spiritual power into this door, or..."

"Stop, stop it... I'll try each method one by one!"

Lin Ran really couldn't stand the crackling sound of Fanhua's chanting. It was like Sun Wukong wearing the golden hoop and listening to Tang Sanzang's chanting, his head was buzzing.

Lin Ran walked to the stone gate and looked at the ancient stone gate in front of him. His soul power did not sense any residual power on the stone gate.

He thought about it, and mobilized the spiritual power in his body to his right hand. Rich golden light filled the underground space. He took a step forward and placed his right hand above the stone door.

When Lin Ran's spiritual power touched the stone gate, his soul trembled for no reason, and the spiritual power in his body surged out madly and uncontrollably.

"This again?!"

Lin Ran's face turned pale with fright. He recalled the last time he was squeezed dry of blood by the woman in the egg. Now she was doing the same thing to him. How could he withstand it?

Unfortunately, no matter how hard Lin Ran tried, he couldn't get rid of the suction of the stone door, and the spiritual energy in his body was rapidly decreasing and was about to reach the bottom.

"Oh shit!"

Lin Ran couldn't help cursing. A brief feeling of weakness from losing his spiritual power came over him. He fell to his knees powerlessly, but his hands were still firmly attached to the stone door.

Even with Lin Ran's physical strength, he could not withstand the instant and high-intensity absorption of his spiritual power. His eyes went dark and dizziness surged into his head. He almost fainted. He hardened his heart and bit his tongue, and the pain made his brain clear up.

When there was only one drop of spiritual power left in his body, the stone door stopped absorbing spiritual power. Lin Ran raised his head reluctantly. He found that he could let go of his hand, so he quickly withdrew his hand. He did not dare to touch the stone door again.

"These ghost things, if they don't agree with you, they will suck people's spiritual energy and blood, just like vampires..."

Lin Ran cursed as he looked at the golden stone gate in front of him. A heavy and ancient aura filled the air, and he couldn't stop feeling uncomfortable in his heart. He quickly took out some pills to restore his spiritual power and stuffed them into his mouth like candy pills.

If I don’t recover my spiritual power quickly, I won’t even be able to protect myself if I encounter any danger later.

"Boom!"

Suddenly, the stone door made a dull sound and slowly opened to both sides. A pale white light instantly lit up inside.

When Lin Ran was about to get up, the golden light on the stone gate turned into thousands of beams of light and rushed towards Lin Ran. Those golden lights melted into Lin Ran's body like drizzle, turning into purer spiritual power and falling into Lin Ran's dantian.

The stone gate seemed to have heard his complaints and actually returned the spiritual power to him. Not only that, the returned spiritual power was even purer and seemed to have helped improve its quality.

"It doesn't seem so bad!"

Lin Ran breathed a sigh of relief. After the golden light filled up all the spiritual power in his dantian, the remaining energy went into the corridor and soon disappeared.

Feeling the spiritual power surging again in his body, Lin Ran shook his hands, bent down, looked at the somewhat narrow entrance, thought for a while, and decided to crawl in slowly.

After all, since we are here, we have to explore all the secrets here, otherwise they will be taken advantage of by others!

When Lin Ran crawled into the stone gate and stood outside the hole at the top, Fu Yuemei and Mulan were standing next to the huge hole, looking at the darkness below where there was hardly any light and they didn't even know how deep the hole was. They couldn't help but feel a little scared.

Mulan glanced at Fu Yuemei and advised, "Why don't we wait outside? Your master should be fine. He may have discovered some secrets of this hall!"

"I…"

Fu Yuemei didn't know what to do. She looked at Mulan, then at the huge bottomless hole. She wanted to go down to find her master, but was afraid that if she went down, she would bring trouble to her master. Not knowing whether her master was safe made her extremely anxious.

At this moment, some noises suddenly came from outside. Yue Lei strode into the hall. When he saw the big hole, he couldn't help but widen his eyes and even rubbed his eyes. He couldn't believe it. He looked at the two people standing next to the hole and asked, "Is this what Brother Lin did?!"

When Fu Yuemei saw Yue Lei coming, she hurried to his side, her little face full of anxiety. She looked at Yue Lei and asked hurriedly: "Senior Yue, please go down and see me!"

"Ah this..."

Yue Lei scratched his head. He walked to the hole and looked at it for a few seconds, his expression changing.

After a while, Yue Lei looked at Mulan and Fu Yuemei and said, "You should go back to the convoy outside first. If there is a convoy passing by, pretend to rest there. Do you understand?"

"But Senior Yue, Master..."

Fu Yuemei didn't expect Yue Lei to ask them to go back. She was a little anxious, but just as she was about to say something, Mulan grabbed Fu Yuemei. She nodded and said, "Thank you, Mr. Yue!"

"Yuemei, let's go, let's wait for your master outside!"

Mulan dragged Yuemei to the center of the square. As soon as she met up with the people from Linghua Academy, Yuemei broke free from Mulan's hand, looked at Mulan with a cold face and asked, "Sister Mulan, why did you drag me out here?"

Chi Si Nian and others looked at this sudden scene and were suddenly unable to react. Why did the two of them suddenly become hostile after returning?

Seeing Fu Yuemei like this, Mulan hurriedly explained: "Yuemei, listen to me first. With your master's strength, there will definitely be no problem. Even if there is a problem, can we help?"

Mulan's words left Fu Yuemei speechless for a moment.

The problem is indeed like this. She herself is in the Lingdan realm, and Mulan is in the Hualing realm. If they encounter problems that even those in the Nirvana realm find difficult to deal with, then they really can ask for help to see if there is a miracle that can save them.

"Sorry...Sister Mulan!"

Fu Yuemei was smart to begin with, and she quickly figured out the problem. She lowered her head and apologized to Mulan.

Mulan rubbed her nose and said a little embarrassedly: "It's okay, I know you care about the master, let's leave here first!"

"Well, let's get out of here first!"

Fu Yuemei nodded, and she led the team away. When they climbed up the ruins, Fu Yuemei turned her head to look in the direction of the hall. When she saw Senior Yue Lei guarding the door of the hall, she looked at him for a few seconds, then retracted her gaze, turned over and jumped down.

……

123. The Dragon Clan

After Yue Lei saw the group of students from Linghua Academy go back, he turned around and looked at the big hole behind him. In addition to being filled with unbelievable surprise, he also felt a bit of admiration.

“I have to say it’s Brother Lin. The last time that secret realm caused quite a stir, we were able to find things even in such a dilapidated ruins!” Yue Lei said with emotion.

Although he was a little embarrassed and invisible in the last secret realm, he knew some of Lin Ran's deeds from his students, and he followed the fairy from the Sword Sect to stir up the storm.

It’s a pity that the most important inheritance of the last secret realm was obtained by the favored son of the Sword Sect, but it is also a good thing. After all, Linghua Academy cannot guard such an opportunity.

"Hey, Brother Lin, I'll be the one keeping an eye on things for you. No one should be interested in coming here to look. Brother Lin, hurry up and finish your search, then leave as if nothing happened!"

Yue Lei found a large flat rock and sat down on it, looking at the big hole from time to time. He did this probably to repay Lin Ran's favor!

The best talents in Songling Academy now all followed Lin Ran in the past. Lin Ran tried his best to protect those students, sometimes even at the cost of his life.

Yue Lei didn't know how to repay such a favor. This was probably the reason why he was willing to be cheated of so many supplies by Linghua Academy last time!

The hardest debt to repay in the world is the debt of favor!

……

At the bottom of the cave, Lin Ran had already climbed through the narrow passage that was almost completely blocked by mud. He landed on the bluestone ground, and the solid feeling under his feet made him breathe a sigh of relief.

He turned around and saw compacted soil behind him. There was only a small space above, less than half a meter, that he could crawl into.

Lin Ran did not take a torch, but a night-shining pearl, and walked alone towards the dark corridor. To be honest, it was really creepy to walk alone.

"Fanhua, come out and walk with me!"

Lin Ran called Fanhua out. In the air, a golden light emerged from between Lin Ran's eyebrows, fell to the side and turned into a beautiful woman in a golden dress.

Fanhua showed an impatient expression on her face. She looked at Lin Ran and said with disdain: "Are you scared?!"

"It's not that I'm afraid. It's just that if I could have an encyclopedia like you to go with me, any problems could be discovered in advance!" Lin Ran explained seriously.

But Fanhua had been with Lin Ran for some time, so she knew that Lin Ran was talking nonsense. She snorted, folded her arms across her chest, and said, "Then I'll walk with you. Don't be so scared that you need me to protect you!"

The corridor was very long. It took Lin Ran and Fanhua nearly ten minutes to reach the end. But when Lin Ran saw that there was a blocked wall at the end, he didn't react for a moment. They had walked for so long, only to end up in a dead end?

"It can't be a dead end. There's no need to design it like this!"

After taking the first look, Fanhua denied that this was a dead end. She looked at Lin Ran and said, "Follow the method used by Shimen just now, can you try again?"

"This again?"

When Lin Ran heard this, he subconsciously put his hands behind his back. He already had sequelae from being forcibly sucked of his spiritual energy and blood every time like this.

However, facing Fanhua's eyes, Lin Ran finally mobilized his spiritual power and placed his golden hand on the sealed wall.

This time there was nothing so terrifying. After sensing Lin Ran's spiritual power, the blue bricks on the stone wall automatically shrank to the sides.

Lin Ran put down his hand, looked at the darkness ahead, and was somewhat afraid to go forward.

"It shouldn't be dangerous. The design of the ruins here makes me feel more like a sealed place."

"But there were so many sealed places back then, and I don't know what was sealed in the places that the Green Emperor and the Green Dragon clan jointly sealed. But since both sides can join forces to seal it, it can't be some explosive news, right?" Fanhua muttered.

"Are you sure there won't be a big one later?"

Lin Ran thought of the sealed places before, especially the one of Saint Emperor Jingyue. It was simply a place to raise poisonous insects. But for Saint Emperor Jingyue at that time, it was already amazing for her, a half-emperor, to be able to do all this.

"I'm not sure, but I'm here now, and even if it's true, you can solve it!"

Fanhua hit Lin Ran and teased, "You are the inheritor of the Green Emperor. Maybe there are some treasures left by the Green Emperor that you can use!"

"Hopefully!"

Lin Ran smiled and looked at the dark hole in front of him. His right hand condensed into a golden ball of light, which turned into a beam of light and shot forward. The golden ball of light made a "puff" sound in mid-air and turned into golden light spots all over the sky.

The dazzling golden light also instantly illuminated the dark opening.

Seeing the scene in front of him, Lin Ran's pupils suddenly shrank. What came into his eyes was a giant dragon with a dark body. The collar of the dragon was shining with black and gold light, and from where he was, he just happened to see the head of the dragon.

Although the giant dragon did not open its eyes, its majestic and vast appearance was enough to shock people.

When Lin Ran saw the giant dragon, the edges on both sides of its head were actually similar to curved sheep horns, and it emitted a dark red light. Although it was very faint, it was indeed flashing.

Doesn’t this mean... that the dragon in front of us is very likely alive?

"Can we go back home? Are you sure this big creature won't get hurt if we let it out?" Lin Ran looked at Fanhua, but found that Fanhua was staring at the dragon in a daze. He couldn't help but ask, "Do you know this Void Evil Clan?"

"This is not the Void Evil Clan!"

Fanhua rolled her eyes at Lin Ran and said.

"Isn't that right?"

Lin Ran was a little surprised: "I saw its sharp edges and the dark red horn on its back. Are you sure it's not from the Void Evil Clan?"

"It's not the Void Evil Clan. This is the Black Dragon Clan, a branch of the Demon Clan. You can also call it the Demon Dragon Clan, but why... is it sealed here? I remember that the Demon Dragon Clan was also the main force to fight against the Void Evil Clan. Qianzhou... yes... this is also where the Demon Dragon Clan fought against the Void Evil Clan!"

Fanhua finally remembered these key details. The battle back then was actually very chaotic. Although they had already negotiated countermeasures together, it was a mess when it was implemented. Fanhua had participated in the command of the defense at that time, so she could be said to have a deep understanding of it.

"The Demonic Dragon Clan?!"

Lin Ran couldn't help but be stunned. He had never heard of this in the original book!

"I didn't expect... that someone would know... about our Demon Dragon Clan!"

Suddenly, a hoarse voice sounded in the minds of Lin Ran and Fanhua at the same time, and they hurriedly looked at the magic dragon in the center.

The dragon, which had originally closed its eyes, had opened its eyes at this moment, revealing a pair of eyes like lanterns, flashing dark purple light.

The dragon has awakened!

Fanhua quickly stepped forward, protecting Lin Ran behind her, and looking at the magic dragon in front of her, she said calmly: "I don't know which one of you is from the magic dragon clan, I am the guardian of the Holy Emperor Jingyue back then - Fanhua!"

"We have no intention of disturbing you. We just saw traces of the Green Emperor in this group of ruins, so we wanted to explore it!"

"A person who belongs to Saint Emperor Jingyue? Now... No, in your soul state... Are you a spirit of an artifact?!" The demon dragon had sharp eyes and saw through Fanhua's mentality that she was a spirit of an artifact at a glance.

"Yes, so you are..." Fanhua asked respectfully.

"Me...hahaha..."

The dragon's laughter was like a drum beating in the ears of Lin Ran and Fanhua, almost causing tinnitus. After a while, the dragon stopped laughing and said, "I am Gu Zige, the patriarch of the dragon clan!"

"Gu Zige...it's you!"

Fanhua's eyes widened. This name awakened her long-dormant memory. She recalled an incident that happened in the past. It was from that incident that she realized the difference between the demon race and the void evil race...
