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

At this time, Fanhua had returned to the main hall upstairs and was sitting at her desk. Not far in front of her, a scene was being played of Lin Ran and the other person searching everywhere underground. She was very curious whether these two people could find and solve her test.

In the underground cave, Lin Ran and Shangguan Mengqing searched carefully. Shangguan Mengqing relied on her keen observation and found a strange place. She took out the Qiuyu Sword, with the green sword energy covering the sword body, and poked it hard into the smooth rock wall.

"touch~"

A powerful force rebounded back, making Shangguan Mengqing's right hand a little numb. Looking at the small hole she had poked, she suddenly ran to another place and poked at the rock wall again.

This time there was no strong reaction force. The tip of her sword sank deeply into the rock wall. When she pulled it out, she couldn't see anything inside.

She turned her head and looked at Lin Ran who was aimlessly looking at the rock wall in the distance, and couldn't help but shout:

"Lin Ran!"

"Well, what's going on?"

Hearing the voice, Lin Ran jumped lightly and came to Shangguan Mengqing's side, and Shangguan Mengqing pulled Lin Ran to the strange place she had discovered earlier.

After listening to Shangguan Mengqing's explanation, Lin Ran looked at the rock wall in front of him, and a sense of confidence arose spontaneously. He patted his chest and said confidently: "Move aside a little, and I will show you my real skills!"

"Just don't get hurt by the reaction force!" Shangguan Mengqing walked away silently for a distance. Looking at Lin Ran's appearance, she knew that this guy was going to make a fool of himself soon.

"how come!"

Lin Ran moved his wrist, and the spiritual power in his body surged into his right fist like a tide. He roared, and then slammed towards the rock wall in front of him. The golden fist mark hit the rock wall with surging force, but at the same time, a deep blue light appeared on the rock wall, and a powerful force bounced back.

Although Lin Ran was prepared, he did not expect the rebound force to be so terrifying. He felt like he was hit by a huge beast at high speed. Lin Ran flew backwards and hit the rock wall.

"Cough cough..."

Lin Ran rubbed his chest and coughed several times before he stood up. He looked at the hole he had made and said angrily, "I reasonably suspect that the elder sister did this on purpose."

In the hall above, Fanhua saw Lin Ran complaining about her and couldn't help curling her lips and whispered, "How can you solve the first level like this if you only know how to use brute force!"

Fanhua spent a lot of time and effort on the first level. The flaw in the rock wall was deliberately exposed, and then the next step was to use clever techniques to open up a path. But unexpectedly, Lin Ran broke through it directly with brute force. Although he also suffered a strong reaction force, can you tell whether it was opened or not?

"Are you OK?"

Shangguan Mengqing came to Lin Ran. She didn't expect that the reaction force was so strong. It almost bounced back most of the force of Lin Ran's punch, but the remaining force was enough to destroy the rock wall.

"It's nothing, just a little painful..."

Lin Ran did not try to show off his strength. Although the force of the rebound was amazing, it did not cause any harm to him.

"Let's take a look at what's in there!" Lin Ran said.

"it is good!"

The two of them took a look at the bricks scattered on the ground. Shangguan Mengqing picked up a piece of the broken brick at random, feeling the power flowing through it quickly.

She vaguely felt the power of "Tao" from above, shook her head, threw the broken pieces aside, and looked at the dark corridor. Shangguan Mengqing took out a night pearl, and the bright light illuminated the corridor, which was paved with bluestone tiles all around.

At Shangguan Mengqing's strong request, Shangguan Mengqing walked in front here. In fact, Shangguan Mengqing was afraid that Lin Ran would trigger some restrictions, and then the two of them would fall into danger and be forced to fail the test.

After walking for a distance, there were stairs leading down. When the two of them got down to the stairs, there were roads on both sides. Before Lin Ran could say anything, Shangguan Mengqing pointed to the right and said, "Follow me and walk to the right. Don't walk separately!"

"How did you know to go to the right?"

"Guess!"

"I guess you are kidding me?" Lin Ran had been fooled before, and when he heard Shangguan Mengqing say this, he felt more and more that Shangguan Mengqing was playing a trick on him.

Shangguan Mengqing deliberately stopped, glanced at Lin Ran, and said calmly: "I really didn't lie to you this time. I really chose it randomly because I couldn't see which path was the right one. So are you scared? If I take you into some restriction and you fail this test, will you blame me?"

"Why should I blame you? If it were me, I would have chosen randomly. There's no need to hesitate so much." Lin Ran said indifferently.

"Then I..."

Shangguan Mengqing wanted to say something, but Lin Ran suddenly saw a light in the corridor below and exclaimed: "Look, what's that down there?"

……

Chapter 156 Confession

At the corner of the stairs below, there was a faint blue light.

In this dark corridor, it looks extremely bright.

Shangguan Mengqing reached out and grabbed Lin Ran who was about to take a step. He stared at Lin Ran and said softly, "Have you forgotten what I said?"

Lin Ran, who was held by Shangguan Mengqing, smiled awkwardly and said, "I'm used to it. I can't always let you stand in front of me. You have saved me many times. If it weren't for you, I would have died many times."

Hearing this, Shangguan Mengqing stared at Lin Ran and said softly: "From now on, I will need you to save me. My elixir is almost broken. If I fight with all my strength, my life may be in danger..."

Lin Ran's expression froze, and he stood there as if petrified. He seemed not to believe his ears, and nervously grasped Shangguan Mengqing's shoulders, saying excitedly: "How is it possible? Didn't that girl named Fanhua save you? I'll go break down the stone door and ask her!"

Hearing that Shangguan Mengqing was almost disabled, he felt that he could no longer think. He himself didn't know why he was so nervous, and his hands subconsciously exerted force.

The sudden increase in strength in Lin Ran's hands hurt Shangguan Mengqing so much that she couldn't help but let out a low cry.

Lin Ran noticed his own loss of composure and quickly loosened his hand. He looked at Shangguan Mengqing's shoulder and used his spiritual power to cover his hand to relieve Shangguan Mengqing's pain. Looking at Shangguan Mengqing's beautiful expressionless face, he asked softly, "Does it hurt? I'm sorry, I just..."

Shangguan Mengqing shook her head, a hint of tenderness flashed in her eyes. She looked at Lin Ran's big hand rubbing her shoulders and couldn't help but say, "Are you taking advantage of me?"

Lin Ran: "..."

You bad woman, I am caring about you, but you are saying that I am taking advantage of you. What kind of advantage is that?

Lin Ran always lost his temper when getting along with Shangguan Mengqing. Whenever he saw Shangguan Mengqing talking back at him with a calm expression, he would get angry and couldn't help wanting to bully her back. He wanted to see Shangguan Mengqing's expression of begging for mercy, which would definitely be very exciting.

"You said I took advantage of you, didn't you?"

Lin Ran pulled Shangguan Mengqing's hand, forcibly pried open Shangguan Mengqing's fingers, squeezed his fingers one by one between the fingers, held Shangguan Mengqing's hand tightly, and violently broke into Shangguan Mengqing's body with spiritual power, saying viciously: "I will take advantage of you and invade your body with spiritual power. Are you afraid?"

"Yeah, very scared!"

Shangguan Mengqing looked at Lin Ran's childlike appearance and couldn't help laughing in her heart: "He is such a grown-up, but he is always like a child. What a childish man..."

Shangguan Mengqing did not stop it. Her spiritual power and Lin Ran's were of the same origin. Maybe if she blocked the spiritual power, he would rebel after it passed.

Lin Ran smoothly entered Shangguan Mengqing's dantian. When his soul power detected Shangguan Mengqing's elixir full of cracks, he realized that this bad woman really did not lie.

The green elixir with patterns on it seemed to be about to crack. If the elixir really cracked, Shangguan Mengqing would most likely face a regression in realm, and in serious cases, even his life would be in danger.

"How could the elixir break for no reason? Did you use some secret method? You saved me that day, you must have used a secret method beyond your own power, you..."

Lin Ran only had a vague understanding of the Sutra of Purity and Tranquility and did not associate it with the Sutra of Purity and Tranquility.

He just happened to think of that day when Shangguan Mengqing rescued him in time when he was about to be sent to the west by the giant rock beast. Shangguan Mengqing had obviously led the team into the mountains, but this girl turned back to save him. With such an exaggerated tide of monsters rushing over, she must have used a secret method to forcibly increase her strength.

The more Lin Ran thought about it, the more he felt that this was the truth. His eyes were filled with guilt as he looked at Shangguan Mengqing.

Facing Lin Ran's burning gaze, Shangguan Mengqing looked aside and said calmly: "Don't think too much, it's done. If you feel guilty, you will be at my service from now on. Maybe when I get the inheritance of Saint Emperor Jingyue, I will have a chance to recover with the elixir."

Shangguan Mengqing didn't actually expect to pass all the tests and get the inheritance of Saint Emperor Jingyue. In her opinion, if the elixir was wasted, then it was wasted. At worst, she could destroy the elixir and start over. If she could never make any progress, then at least she would have saved this guy's life, and she would have been relieved of that heavy burden. But that would be too cruel to her master and those who expected her to carry the banner...

The inheritance of Saint Emperor Jingyue?

When Lin Ran heard Shangguan Mengqing's words, he immediately became excited.

If he remembered correctly, in the original novel, Shangguan Mengqing had to rebuild under the guidance of Saint Emperor Jingyue after obtaining his inheritance. So in the current situation, perhaps he would have the opportunity to receive the inheritance through rebuilding. By then, maybe his strength would not only not decline, but would be further improved.

"I will definitely help you get the inheritance, believe me..."

Lin Ran's eyes were burning with confidence. Before Shangguan Mengqing could say anything more, he took Shangguan Mengqing's hand and walked: "Let's go down and take a look. If there is any danger, you can remind me in time. It will be faster to use soul transmission!"

Shangguan Mengqing just let Lin Ran pull her away. She stared at Lin Ran's back blankly, then looked down at her hands interlocked with Lin Ran's. Her slender hands were tightly held in Lin Ran's hands, and a wonderful feeling arose in her heart.

After her state of mind had been completely broken, her emotions were richer than before.

"Okay, I'll do whatever you say..." Shangguan Mengqing chuckled.

That beautiful smile that was as fleeting as a blooming flower quietly blossomed in this dark corridor. Lin Ran, who was walking in front, was unaware of this beautiful scene. He only knew that he had to try his best to get the inheritance of Emperor Jingyue for Shangguan Mengqing. Why exactly was this? Perhaps Lin Ran himself couldn't explain it clearly.

In the hall above, Fanhua looked at the two people, who had changed from walking one in front and one behind to walking shoulder to shoulder, hand in hand, and their relationship seemed to be even closer. She was almost numb, especially since she could still hear what the two were saying. She couldn't help feeling sour in her heart.

"Are these two here to test me or to talk about love? I'm so mad!" Fanhua pounded the table without any image, expressing the excitement in her heart.

After a while, Fanhua stopped moving and collapsed weakly on the chair. She remembered that when Shangguan Mengqing woke up, she opened her eyes and asked where Lin Ran was. After knowing the location, she rushed to Lin Ran's room without even putting on her clothes, not caring whether she would be seen.

Afterwards, seeing that Lin Ran had not woken up, he kept going to see Lin Ran from time to time. Otherwise, how could it be possible that Lin Ran woke up first and Shangguan Mengqing rushed in?

Fanhua was also very aware of the situation inside Shangguan Mengqing's body, but she didn't expect that this girl would actually confess her situation to Lin Ran, but concealed something.

For example, if the elixir breaks, it is entirely due to the particularity of the Qingjing Sutra practice. If the state of mind breaks, the elixir will also break. The only way out is to disperse the practice and start over.

"They obviously care about me and like me very much, but they never express it. They are such an awkward couple!" Fanhua said.

Looking at the scene in front of him, he couldn't help but feel happy when he saw Lin Ran and the others finally entered there. He smiled slyly and said, "Hehe, let me make it a little more difficult for you..."

.....

Lin Ran and Shangguan Mengqing came to the corner of the corridor and found that the lamp on the wall with a faint blue light was dyed with a faint blue flame. There was a lamp on each side, and there were several steps going down, and at the end of the stairs was a tightly closed bronze door.

On the side, Guan Mengqing saw that there were stairs on the left side of the bronze gate. He poked Lin Ran's waist and pointed to the side and said, "It seems that no matter which of the two stairs you choose, you will end up here."

"Have you noticed any forbidden dangers here?" Lin Ran asked.

Shangguan Mengqing looked around carefully, shook his head and said, "No, maybe after pushing open this bronze door, the real test will begin."

"Then let's go!"

The two men walked forward together, one in charge of one side. After looking at each other, they pushed open the bronze door together.

Seeing that it was pitch black inside, Lin Ran protected Shangguan Mengqing behind him and stretched out the night pearl in his hand, hoping to see something with the help of the light. But just after taking a few steps, the bronze door behind him suddenly closed. With a slight "whoosh" sound, a deep blue flame lit up from the lampstand on the stone wall near Lin Ran. The deep blue flames ignited one after another, and the whole space was suddenly illuminated brightly, and the situation could be seen clearly without the night pearl.

Lin Ran and Shangguan Mengqing also saw clearly what the situation was like here. It looked like an arena, but in the surrounding stone walls there were neatly arranged caves, so densely packed that they looked like a beehive.

At the edge of the arena, there was a stone tablet standing there, which seemed to have some words on it. The two of them carefully came to the stone tablet. Shangguan Mengqing squatted down and was about to use his spiritual power to clear the dust off it, but Lin Ran grabbed his hand and warned him: "It's like this, you still use spiritual power?"

"I just can't fight with my full strength, but I'm not a useless person. I can definitely use my spiritual power!" Shangguan Mengqing explained softly.

She was very happy that Lin Ran cared about her, and she was not angry, but explained patiently.

"be careful!"

Lin Ran heaved a sigh of relief upon hearing this, and let Shangguan Mengqing study the stone tablet. He did not dare to go far away, so he just stood beside Shangguan Mengqing, looked up at the surroundings, and asked curiously: "Did you find anything?"

"Still watching, how can it be so fast!"

Shangguan Mengqing responded, using the light of the night pearl to decipher the ancient characters on it.

After a long time, her expression gradually became a little unhappy. When she was thinking about telling Lin Ran about this discovery, she keenly heard a faint sound like stones colliding.

"Lin Ran, did you hear any strange sounds?" Shangguan Mengqing looked up and asked.

Lin Ran, who was standing by, was stunned for a moment, and said subconsciously: "Strange sound, I didn't hear it, is it you..."

"bump!"

A sudden unusual noise made the two people's nerves tense quickly. They looked towards the center of the field and saw a pile of rubble that had fallen from somewhere, lying quietly in the center of the field.

"Could this have fallen from above?" Lin Ran leaned close to Shangguan Mengqing's ear and said.

Shangguan Mengqing glanced at Lin Ran and didn’t want to say anything. Where else could this thing have fallen from?

"On that stone tablet..."

Shangguan Mengqing was just about to talk about what was written on the stone tablet when Lin Ran opened his eyes wide and looked at the pile of stones. The broken stones actually floated into the air and were combined by a deep blue force to form a stone statue of a person. Its hollow eyes flashed with faint blue flames, and it was in a fighting posture, looking at Lin Ran and Shangguan Mengqing.

……

Chapter 157: The failed attempt at scumbag?

"That's what I want to tell you!"

Shangguan Mengqing looked at the strange stone statue vigilantly and translated the contents of the stone tablet to Lin Ran: "Defeat all the stone statues and you will be able to reach the next path, but it should not be that easy."

The stone statue did not have any strong energy fluctuations. It just stood there stupidly, not actively attacking. It seemed to be waiting for the attacks of Lin Ran and Shangguan Mengqing. It seemed that it could be easily dealt with.

But how could Fanhua allow them to obtain mythical equipment so easily?

"Just try and you will find out!"

Lin Ran stretched his joints and was about to punch the statue to death when Guan Mengqing grabbed Lin Ran's clothes. When Lin Ran looked over, he said, "Don't reveal too many of your cards!"

"I understand!"

Lin Ran nodded, staring at the stone statue in a fighting posture. Looking at the deep blue flames jumping and burning in the two hollow eye sockets of the other party, Lin Ran had an illusion that the burning flames were the other party's eyes, and at this time the stone statue seemed to be observing him constantly.

"Is this an illusion?"

Lin Ran couldn't help but think of the tests and inherited powers in the Secret Realm of the Holy Emperor Jingyue, but unfortunately, the information he knew about many fragments in the original work was too fragmentary and he couldn't be of much help at the moment.

After exhaling a breath of foul air, Lin Ran stared at the stone statue in front of him with sharp eyes. His clenched fist was covered with light golden spiritual power, which was burning and dancing like a flame. But what was surprising was that the stone statue opposite actually took the same posture as Lin Ran, and the gray-white stone arm was also surged with dark blue flames.
