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

Chapter 168: Invisible Smoke

At the north gate, the nearby streets have become a battlefield and an extremely chaotic battle has begun. Especially under the blood-red moonlight, it appears even more scarlet and dark. The sound of weapons colliding, the dull sound of swords cutting into flesh, and the sound of painful wails have become the main theme of this place.

Lin Ran brought Wen Qianyi to a nearby area that had not been affected yet and hid in the dark. Not far away at the alley entrance, a group of people were fighting.

When Wen Qianyi noticed that those people were chasing after another group of people who seemed to be from the Beiming Holy Land Alliance, who seemed to be a group of beautiful women, after being caught up, they were actually raped by that group of people on the spot.

Seeing that Wen Qianyi was blushing and a little angry at the women being treated so roughly, she couldn't help but look at Lin Ran next to her and said, "Senior, how about we go and save those girls?"

"save?"

Lin Ran was stunned, looking at the spring scene over there, he couldn't help but say: "Those women are not simple stuff, you think they are really caught up by someone, but they are just dragging the other party into the field they are good at!"

"Proficient in the field of earth?"

Wen Qianyi was a little confused, but she soon understood what Lin Ran was talking about.

After catching up with these charming women, the men could not wait to move their bodies on their fair and tender bodies, but gradually they became powerless, and those men turned into mummies and fell to the side stiffly.

The women who were originally crying and enduring the whipping could not help but sneer and spit at the mummies, "They are really good-looking but useless. I sucked them dry in such a short while, and they only improved their strength a little bit. It's so annoying."

"Hey, sister, this is the same for me, it's not even enough to fill the gaps between my teeth!"

"How about we find another batch?"

"Just do it!"

This group of beautiful women changed their clothes and went out to take advantage of the chaotic situation to hunt their prey.

Wen Qianyi, who had watched the entire scene, was already stunned.

Lin Ran standing by was also shocked, but he had long felt that something was wrong with that group of women. They were all full of energy and didn't look like they were being hunted. He didn't expect that they were using the "peony flowers" to seduce those who wanted to have a romantic time. He just wondered how many of them would become ghosts?

"Senior, I'm sorry..."

Wen Qianyi said faintly: "I think things are too superficial, I thought they were..."

Lin Ran patted Wen Qianyi's head and said softly, "Just treat it as a lesson. Of course, it doesn't mean that we will encounter this kind of situation in the future, but we must learn to distinguish. After all, I have seen some people work together just to trap and kill the people who come to rescue people."

"Have you ever encountered this before, senior?" Wen Qianyi was stunned.

"That's all in the past. Let's not talk about it anymore. We need to go into the city gate. Follow me..." Lin Ran took Wen Qianyi's hand and led her towards the city gate.

Wen Qianyi followed Lin Ran closely, sometimes staring at Lin Ran's back in a daze, feeling the warmth from Lin Ran's palm, which made Wen Qianyi a little infatuated, but happy times are always short. Lin Ran successfully led Wen Qianyi to bypass everyone's attention and successfully entered the corridor inside the city gate. Lin Ran suddenly pressed the switch next to the stone door, and the heavy stone door fell to the ground, completely blocking the entrance to the corridor.

Inside the corridor, there was a man in black who had been waiting at the entrance.

The corridor was dim, lit only by the faint yellow candlelight, and outside the closed stone door, there was the sound of fierce and noisy fighting. Wen Qianyi looked at the man in black who suddenly appeared and couldn't help but shrink behind Lin Ran. Obviously, in such an environment, it was too strange for such a man in black whose face could not be seen to be here.

Lin Ran was also frightened when he saw the man in black when he came in, and couldn't help but say, "Shangguan Mengqing, you are standing here in the dark, you want to scare people to death, right?"

"The only entrance to the city wall is here. It must be kept under guard." Shangguan Mengqing took off her hood without paying attention, revealing a peerless and otherworldly face. This time, Shangguan Mengqing was not wearing a veil.

"Follow me!"

Shangguan Mengqing didn't waste any time. After saying a few words, he walked upstairs.

Lin Ran and Wen Qianyi also followed, but on the way up, Wen Qianyi suddenly pulled Lin Ran and whispered in Lin Ran's ear: "Senior, how do you know that is Meng Qing?"

"Gut feeling..."

Lin Ran found an excuse, but the truth was that the two of them were communicating with each other through the Phoenix Bracelet. They could communicate even in a shielded and dangerous place, let alone a place like this.

"intuition?"

Wen Qianyi felt a little jealous and angrily hit Lin Ran on the chest. She then walked quickly to Shangguan Mengqing's side and started talking to her.

Lin Ran watched this scene from behind and couldn't help rubbing his chest, thinking to himself: "What a sin..."

Shangguan Mengqing brought Lin Ran and Wen Qianyi to the observation deck on the city wall. There were still bloodstains on the observation deck and the corridor, and a bloody smell filled the air.

From inside the observation tower, one could see the fierce fighting going on inside the city near the city wall, while on the other side was a long road that was so quiet that it was almost dead silent.

In the center of the watchtower, there is a stone platform. In addition to the switch that controls the city gate, this stone platform also serves as the core of the formation that blocks anyone who tries to spy on the north gate.

Lin Ran looked around and couldn't help but ask, "Did you have someone deal with all those corpses?"

Shangguan Mengqing nodded, took out a night-shining pearl and placed it on the platform beside her, lighting up the room. She leaned on the platform, folded her hands in front of her chest, and said, "Those who are still defending the city gate have been cleared out by me and the people of the Sword Sect.

Next, the Sword Sect will join forces with Tianli, Linghua, and Songling Academy, and advance and retreat together. I have told those guys all this. If they don’t listen, they won’t have to think about staying in the Sword Sect after we return.”

Lin Ran believed in the power of Shangguan Mengqing's words. As the future leader of the Sword Sect who had been appointed, Shangguan Mengqing definitely had enormous power in the Sword Sect.

"Next, I'll have to trouble Qianyi..."

Shangguan Mengqing walked out of the observation deck and came to the mouth of the canyon. Looking at the long and deep road, he pointed to the sky and said, "Use the power of the Yin-Yang chessboard to create a passageway here for people to pass through."

"I see!"

Wen Qianyi nodded, took out the Yin-Yang chessboard, and when she was about to crack it, she made a surprising decision: "I want to go to that inheritance place with you!"

"no!"

Lin Ran and Shangguan Mengqing answered in unison subconsciously.

Seeing this, Wen Qianyi became more determined to go in together, and said persistently: "I have the Yin-Yang chessboard, maybe I can help you solve the formation or other problems, and one more person can better help you, Meng Qing, overcome the difficulties of inheritance. The seniors can go, so it's okay for me to go with you, right?

And...Mengqing, can your physical condition really support you to complete the inheritance test?"

Wen Qianyi finally dropped this bomb, which completely silenced Lin Ran and Shangguan Mengqing.

Lin Ran never thought that Wen Qianyi knew about Shangguan Mengqing's physical condition. He couldn't help but ask in a voice transmission: "What should we do next?"

Shangguan Mengqing quickly replied: "What do you mean? Let Qianyi go. She is quite right. One more person means one more helper. It is good. Or are you dissatisfied with something?"

Lin Ran: "..."

You've got everything to say, you damn Shangguan Mengqing!

In the end, Lin Ran and Shangguan Mengqing agreed to Wen Qianyi's condition, and Wen Qianyi was finally willing to start working. She manipulated the Yin-Yang chessboard, and a black and white beam of light with mysterious power crashed into the air, instantly stirring up the resistance of the golden magic circle, but soon one corner of the golden magic circle became dim, and a hole suddenly shattered.

For the Yin-Yang chessboard, this kind of formation can be solved with just a little effort. After seeing the hole, Wen Qianyi retracted the chessboard and stared at Lin Ran closely with a very resentful look in her eyes.

Lin Ran couldn't stand such a look, so he quickly took Wen Qianyi's hand and said, "I'll take you down first!"

"it is good!"

Wen Qianyi smiled and nodded. She glanced at Shangguan Mengqing intentionally or unintentionally. Seeing that Shangguan Mengqing still had that cold look, she felt a little secretly happy in her heart.

Lin Ran took Wen Qianyi's hand, stepped on the battlement, and jumped down. After using his spiritual power to stay in the air for a short time, Lin Ran brought Wen Qianyi safely down to the ground from the high city wall.

"I'll go up and bring Shangguan Mengqing down..."

Lin Ran said something, but before he could use the rock wall to jump back to pick up Shangguan Mengqing, he heard a sound of breaking wind.

Lin Ran raised his head and looked upwards, and saw a black shadow falling from the city wall. This frightened him, and his spiritual power exploded under his feet. Lin Ran turned into a series of afterimages and caught Shangguan Mengqing in his arms from mid-air.

He looked down at Shangguan Mengqing, confirmed that there was no problem, then held Shangguan Mengqing and slowly landed on the ground with the help of spiritual power.

In Wen Qianyi's eyes, it all seemed to have slowed down ten times. He watched Lin Ran holding Shangguan Mengqing in a princess hug, and Shangguan Mengqing's hands naturally wrapped around Lin Ran's neck, and she snuggled in Lin Ran's arms. She was obviously very cold and aloof, but she behaved like a little bird.

But what made Wen Qianyi even more angry was that Shangguan Mengqing, this woman, did whatever it took to jump down from the top, just to let Lin Ran hug her and then take her down? Scheming woman!

After Lin Ran landed on the ground, before he asked Shangguan Mengqing if she was okay, Shangguan Mengqing jumped down from Lin Ran's arms. Lin Ran was stunned and asked stupidly, "I didn't even ask you, why did you jump down by yourself?"

"Although I can't fight with my full strength, I am still at the ninth level of the Spiritual Pill Realm. I won't fall to death from this mere city wall!" Shangguan Mengqing said calmly, with his hands behind his back and a casual glance at Wen Qianyi.

Wen Qianyi naturally noticed that look. She didn't expect that she would lose in her first battle with Shangguan Mengqing.

"Humph, I will definitely win it back!" Wen Qianyi secretly encouraged herself in her heart, and said, "Just now, the senior was worried that something might happen to Sister Mengqing, and he was too concerned. Let's set off quickly, so that Sister Mengqing can accept the inheritance as soon as possible and save everyone in the secret realm!"

Lin Ran looked at the two people who suddenly looked at each other, and inexplicably felt a sense of tension. He couldn't help but start to doubt: "If I bring Qianyi with me, will these two really not fight?"

.....

Chapter 169 Opening the Bronze Gate

"Once you are here, you must be careful until you reach the bronze gate. There are many powerful forbidden magic arrays here. Do as I say."

Fanhua's voice had been chattering non-stop since Lin Ran and the others entered this narrow passage, which made Lin Ran a little dizzy. He couldn't help but make a suggestion: "Sister Fanhua, how about I let you out and you lead the way for me?"

"do not want!"

Fanhua decisively refused. The invisible war outside was so fierce. If she, the "woman" hidden in Lin Ran's soul ocean, went out, the war might be intensified again. It would be better for her to stay here and watch the show.

At the same time, Fanhua was also feeling sad about Lin Ran's luck with women. The woman surnamed Wen was not much worse than Shangguan Mengqing, and she was completely devoted to Lin Ran. How could such a young girl fall in love with the descendant of the Green Emperor who was older and had a cultivation level that was neither high nor low? Did the Green Emperor choose his descendant based on who was more likely to provoke women?

Lin Ran had no idea that Fanhua was complaining about him in his mind. Not only did he have to lead the way, but he also had to be careful to deal with the two people walking side by side behind him. If eyes could attack, his back would have been riddled with holes.

Shangguan Mengqing knew that Lin Ran had Fanhua's guidance, so as long as she followed Lin Ran, they would be able to pass through the restrictions and formations on the road relatively safely.

Ever since her mood broke, she wasn't as calm as she appeared to be. Just now she made the move of jumping down. Was it because she was jealous?

This is a word that she thought would never appear on her. Even though she was unwilling to admit it, she could not suppress her feelings for Lin Ran. The more she suppressed them, the more intense the rebound became.

During those years in the inheritance space, the two of them ate and lived together, practiced together, and practiced swordsmanship together. There were many subtle and imperceptible changes, which had quietly and deeply imprinted in her soul and changed her forever. She was no longer the "Shangguan Mengqing" she once was.

"You guys stay here first... I'll go find out where the safe place is?" Lin Ran's voice suddenly interrupted Shangguan Mengqing's thoughts.

They had arrived at a bend at some point. After Lin Ran said something, he carefully went looking for the road by himself. Don't underestimate this place, but there are many hidden forbidden formations. Only when someone triggers them will they reveal their sharp fangs. But that is the last scene before your death.

Shangguan Mengqing and Wen Qianyi were the only ones left there. Wen Qianyi looked at Lin Ran's back nervously, fearing that Lin Ran would accidentally trigger the ban.

There are a lot of formations and restrictions here. Before this, Xuanfu Sect also came to invite her, hoping that she could help explore together. In order to invite her to help, they even threw out some information here, so Wen Qianyi also knew a lot of information.

The people from the super sect seemed to know that there were treasures in there, and were exploring step by step. In fact, they had already cracked a lot, but unfortunately, with the sudden outbreak of the monster tide tonight, the people from the super sect might have to stop this work.

"Qianyi!"

A crisp sound rang in my ears.

Wen Qianyi couldn't help but turn her head and look at Shangguan Mengqing next to her. She obviously didn't expect Shangguan Mengqing to call her through voice transmission, so she replied, "What's wrong?"

"I don't want to give up!" Shangguan Mengqing said in a firm voice.

Wen Qianyi stared at Shangguan Mengqing, snorted, and said, "It seems that the Sword Sect Fairy is a busy person. She forgot what she said before. Who said that we will never be together?"

"People change, don't they?"

Shangguan Mengqing said calmly: "And I'm just telling you, I will win!"

When fighting for what she wants, Shangguan Mengqing has unparalleled confidence, she will not lose!

"The battlefield of emotions is different from cultivation. Don't give up your words so soon, Miss Shangguan!"

Wen Qianyi was neither humble nor arrogant. She maintained her own aura, as gentle as water, but water can also be strong. If anyone regards water as an easy target to be bullied, they will definitely suffer the bitter fruit of failure for their own underestimation.

"Then I'll wait and see!"

"Me too!"

The two of them declared war, and the war had even more sufficient reasons.

After Lin Ran came back from finding a safe path, he said with a smile on his face: "Let's go, I'll take you through here!"

Two figures were holding Lin Ran on the left and right. The one on the left was Shangguan Mengqing, who was just gently holding Lin Ran's arm. The one on the right was Wen Qianyi, who almost held Lin Ran's arm in her arms. Lin Ran could feel the softness as water when he touched it.

Lin Ran:!

What happened suddenly? Why did he become so different after coming back? He didn't know whether to leave or not.

But in the end, when Lin Ran felt the soft flesh on both sides of his waist being pinched, he still took a step forward, especially when Shangguan Mengqing's voice rang in his mind: "Your right hand should feel very comfortable, right? It's soft and fluffy..."

Lin Ran: "..."

Wen Qianyi also sent a voice message and said shyly, "Senior, please don't let your imagination run wild!"

Lin Ran: "..."

He was really filled with bitterness. Sometimes, this "happiness of having two wives" is not so easy to enjoy...

After some effort and an arduous struggle, Lin Ran and the other two finally reached the end of the canyon. They saw the small square with several stone pillars standing there, and the bronze gate at the end.

Fanhua's voice rang in Lin Ran's mind at the right time: "Next, Mengqing will put the four test certificates, and then the bronze door can be opened. You can also go in together. Jingyue has no restrictions on who can enter. After that, Jingyue should have arrangements for you all.

Especially you, Lin Ran, when you meet Jingyue, you must find an opportunity to ask her for advice on how to unleash the true power of your Nine Heavens Azure Dragon Art. She should have a way!"

"I understand!" Lin Ran nodded. Ever since Qingling Sword Saint said this, Lin Ran has always kept it in mind. He is also looking forward to what the Nine Heavens Azure Dragon Art will look like after it is truly activated.

Lin Ran handed the exquisite wooden box to Shangguan Mengqing and said, "From now on, only you can open this door."
