Chapter 137 Shi Wan’er

Chapter 137 Shi Wan'er

Wasteland.

The Stone Country Imperial Capital was magnificent and grand, with towering city walls stretching across like a long mountain range, vast and majestic.

Inside the city, people came and went in an endless stream of carriages and horses, and many living beings entered and exited, remaining bustling and lively, no different from when Lin Fan came last time.

The only difference was that this time, only he came here alone, with no protector following him, and Yuechans secondary body was not present either, remaining in the sect.

Because Yue Chan's heart had suffered a blow; in just three years apart, Lin Fan's cultivation had already reached the Late Stage of Inscription Realm, while she was still at the Perfection of Hualing.

This gap was not small at all, pulling apart by an entire major Realm, causing Yue Chan, who was already older than Lin Fan, to become shut-in.

Therefore, she went into seclusion, refusing to come out until she advanced to the Inscription Realm.

But in fact, her cultivation speed was already fast enough; even Shi Hao at this age had such a cultivation level.

Even with the time acceleration of the divine palace in Fire Country's ancestral land, he achieved this, catching up with Shi Yi who was three or four years older.

It was just that Lin Fan was rather abnormal, with a good Innate foundation, a special Physique coupled with immortal bones, cultivating as easily as eating and drinking, making it impossible not to be fast.

Of course, it was also related to the cultivation environment; the Upper Realm's heaven and earth spiritual Qi was dense, with vast divine mountains and pure land blessed spots, as if being in the Immortal Domain.

Coupled with the insights of sages and abundant resources, he soaked in divine springs every day, occasionally ate spiritual birds, and nibbled on holy medicine.

In such a Holy Land, even if a pig came, its cultivation would be piled up, which was also the reason why there were Venerables in their teens in the Upper Realm.

Furthermore, had Lin Fan not spent most of his time comprehending the Dao and cultivating phenomena, his cultivation would only be higher; not to mention Array Formation, reaching Perfection in the Inscription Realm was entirely achievable.

At this moment, he walked very relaxed on the main street, strolling around.

Merchants and shops lined the roadside, cries of peddling were endless, and the aura of the Mortal World rolled over.

He had stayed in the pure land for over a year, which was very quiet and cold. Now suddenly entering the Mortal World, he had a special feeling.

"Indeed, I still like the bustling and flashy world of the Mortal World; this is truly a kind of enjoyment."

Lin Fan muttered to himself. Having stayed in a quiet place for too long, he felt he was almost becoming a bald donkey, and life was bland and uninteresting.

Afterwards, he walked on the street, shuttling through the shops, not in a hurry to find the remaining piece of animal skin, until a long time later he arrived at the Nine Princess's residence.

This was an elegant courtyard with jade pavilions and palaces exuding a crystal-glossy luster, surrounded by swirling clouds and mists, arrayed with complex grand formations, as if arriving at a vast divine court.

The Nine Princess's residence was very large. Stone Country doted on this daughter very much, and the bestowed mansion was also extraordinary, having not only patches of palaces but also mountains and rivers.

Guided by the maidservants, Lin Fan walked all the way along the bluestone path, passing through a fragrant forest of fire trees that exhaled red glow, where both branches and leaves were redder than fire.

Legend has it that the mother of the Ninth Princess of Stone Country came from Fire Country, so this princess possessed the Bloodline of both countries and extremely liked fire orchid trees, planting many of them.

Arriving deep into the courtyard, the trees became sparse and the scenery changed drastically. Green grass was like a carpet, and ahead was a large lake, clear and azure blue.

Many spiritual plants were planted inside, with red lotuses swaying and water orchids blooming, full of vibrant vitality and emitting bursts of medicinal fragrance.

At this time, in the pavilion by the lake, a woman in red had been waiting there early, with skin like congealed fat, graceful and luxurious, and very long and white thighs.

Seeing Lin Fan arrive, she stood up to welcome him and smiled, saying: "I thought you wouldn't come today, you little adult of the Heaven Mending Sect!"

Obviously, she had a certain understanding of Lin Fan's identity, at least knowing which School the other party came from.

"Yo, little pepper, you've matured quite a bit." On Lin Fan's very delicate face, a brilliant smile appeared.

In just an instant, the Nine Princess's smile came to an abrupt halt. Her bright red lips twitched, she let out a long breath, and said calmly:

"It's rare that you still remember this princess, but I am not called some little pepper; my name is Shi Wanning."

"The name is pretty good, it's just that… it doesn't quite match your personality!" Lin Fan couldn't help clicking his tongue, sitting down unceremoniously with a familiar air.

The Nine Princess took another deep breath, reluctantly revealing a trace of a smile, and sat opposite him with dignity. Having not seen each other for a few years, that mouth was still so infuriating.

However, the other party had the capital to be infuriating, with a huge background beyond imagination, suspected of not belonging to this Realm's living beings, coming from an immortal great sect.

Therefore, for the sake of her little thoughts, she had to endure!

"Are you here for that incomplete animal skin?" Shi Wanning asked.

Lin Fan nodded and said bluntly: "That's right, name a price, but it can't be too excessive."

"You sure are direct." Shi Wanning said softly, her voice like celestial music.

Ever since learning the news about Lin Fan, she wanted to get to know him even more. After inquiring around and learning that someone was looking for the remaining part of the animal skin, she knew the Opportunity had come.

Moreover, on one accidental occasion, she happened to obtain a part of the animal skin, so she deliberately leaked the news to let outsiders know.

"I am a busy person and don't like beating around the bush. State whatever conditions you have directly."

Lin Fan said straightforwardly. He wasn't stupid; he knew the other party had a purpose, otherwise why would she attract him over with the animal skin from afar?

"No conditions, just wanted to make friends with you, I'll give it to you."

Shi Wanning said lightly, placing a wooden box on the stone table. Inside it was precisely the last piece of animal skin, and she didn't mention any conditions.

"Since that's the case, then we know each other. My name is Lin Fan, I'll be leaving first." Lin Fan put away the wooden box, stood up, and walked outwards, being exceptionally crisp and decisive.

Shi Wan'er was stunned, her fair forehead full of black lines. How could this person not play by the common rules?

"You…" She was truly angered, unable to calm down, almost breaking her defense. She really wanted to beat up this rogue youth, feeling endlessly headache-inducing.

Lin Fan stopped after taking a few steps, turned his head with a sly smile, extremely brilliant with white teeth, and said:

"Hehe, little pepper, you are still too naive to play these tricks with me. Quickly state your purpose, my time is very tight!"

"Little devil, who knows who is more naive?" The Nine Princess muttered, her beautiful eyes flashing with red glow as if a fire was burning, feeling somewhat indignant and annoyed.

Mainly because she was actually played by a youth a few years younger than her, infuriating yet very helpless. One might ask, who in the Imperial Capital dared to treat her like this?

After a long time, Shi Wanning finally calmed down, but this time she didn't beat around the bush anymore and said directly: "I want to ask you to help me ascend to the Stone Country throne in the future."

Lin Fan's big eyes rolled around, and he shook his head, saying: "Too troublesome. If you want to be empress, it's better for me to help you conquer a territory for you to rule, and that piece of animal skin is not worth this price."

The Nine Princess was very surprised upon hearing this. The power behind Lin Fan was even stronger than she had imagined; conquering a country was spoken of so casually!

At this moment, she felt somewhat happy inside, feeling that she hadn't found the wrong person, so she retreated to the next best option and said: "Then when I need it in the future, please make a move once, how about it?"

"The time is too distant, I won't stay in this Realm all the time, I only come to the Eight Regions occasionally, change the condition." Lin Fan still shook his head.

Unless there is an Opportunity attracting him, he generally won't come down to the Lower Realm. He just wanted to settle the Karma quickly.
