Chapter 178: Hugging

Chapter 178: Embracing Both Sides

“Calculating the time, it seems Baiduan Mountain in the Lower Realm is about to open…” Lin Fan muttered, recalling something.

He remembered that it was a Small World opened by a Supreme, and it contained many good things, such as immortal spring eyes and degenerated divine medicines.

At the same time, the remnant soul of the Immortal King from the Foreign Realm—the Devil King, was recuperating there, which was a huge hidden danger, lurking for countless years.

Of course, as a weakling, he couldn't kill it now, but he could inform others to eliminate the Devil King, such as Liu Ma, who was currently recuperating.

However, on second thought, he decided against it. Liu Ma's current state was a match for the Devil King; they were probably evenly matched, and neither could do anything to the other.

That was an Immortal King; even if crippled, a Human Race Cultivator would find it difficult to deal with. At least a Supreme would need to make a move to have a chance to eliminate it.

“Forget it, I’ll go take a look first. It’s good to give a reminder when the time comes.” Lin Fan shook his head, took a big stride, and headed straight for the Lower Realm.

On the other side, Yue Chan learned of his departure for the Lower Realm, her face filled with confusion and bewilderment.

“Didn’t he say he was going to look for the Qing Yue Flame? Why is he going to the Lower Realm again?”

“Could the Qing Yue Flame be in the Lower Realm?”

“No, I must go and see too. That immortal flame is extremely important to me; I must obtain it!”

…

Barren Region, Duankong City.

This was an ancient city, located near the entrance of Baiduan Mountain. Although time had carved many marks upon it, it was still considered prosperous for the Lower Realm.

The city was bustling with traffic, the streets were wide, and the sounds of hawking from various shops were endless, selling weapons, precious medicines, and even maps.

Perhaps because the opening of Baiduan Mountain was imminent, the number of living beings in the city was dozens of times more than usual. There were not only members of the Human Race but also various beasts, birds, and plants, making it incredibly lively.

Furthermore, the number was still increasing, growing more fervent day by day, like a grand banquet of ten thousand races.

“You are truly something, how did this Saintess not know when she gained a fiancé?!”

Inside an elegant pavilion, the young girl glared fiercely at the young man beside her.

However, the young man was not only not embarrassed but also incredibly thick-skinned. With both hands, he embraced two exceptionally beautiful women who looked exactly alike, holding one on each side.

“Now you know, wife.”

Lin Fan smiled brightly, embracing the two peerless beauties, pulling them into his arms. Softness and fragrance instantly assailed him, making his heart flutter.

“Go to hell, go to hell…”

Yue Chan's main and secondary bodies both cursed loudly, struggling free and giving him a big eye-roll, their movements perfectly synchronized, truly looking like a pair of sisters.

In reality, the two were almost identical in appearance, both equally beautiful, dressed in snow-white clothes, standing aloof from the world, their hair dark and lustrous like silk.

Their skin was fair and flawless, gleaming with radiance. Their eyebrows were gracefully curved, and their eyes were deep black. Every movement and expression was filled with beauty, ethereal and sacred.

However, there was one difference: one of them seemed somewhat downcast, having been so the entire way. She was Yuechan's secondary body, who had learned everything.

It was understandable, though. Someone who had lived for over a decade was suddenly told that she wasn't an independent individual but a secondary body, destined to disappear in the future. Anyone would find it hard to accept and process.

Fortunately, due to Lin Fan's arrival, many trajectories had changed. Now, there was no opposition between Yue Chan's main and secondary bodies. Instead, the main body took great care of the secondary body, like close sisters.

For example, when they teamed up against a certain person, their actions were perfectly synchronized.

“I never thought there would be such a Secret Realm in the Lower Realm, one that could make ancient gods shed blood. It’s not simple!” Yue Chan's main body sighed.

She was an intelligent and agile woman. From the little information she had gathered over the past few days, she had deduced the peculiarity of this Secret Realm; at least it originated from an ancient powerful being.

“A Small World opened by a Supreme is naturally extraordinary, and it has existed for an extremely long time, possibly since the late Immortal Ancient era, or the beginning of this epoch.”

Lin Fan was very relaxed, sipping fine tea with beautiful women by his side, feeling an indescribable sense of ease and contentment.

“Oh? You know…”

Suddenly, a commotion came from the courtyard downstairs, catching the attention of a few people, who couldn't help but look out the window.

They saw a carriage pulling into the courtyard, drawn by several Vicious Beasts, with a Human Race Cultivator as the driver. Many guards followed both in front and behind, making a very high-profile entrance.

The carriage was even more luxurious, with a rare spiritual wood as its main body and curtains made of jewels, colorful and full of nobility.

Inside, however, sat a small white tiger with fierce eyes and Evil Qi swirling around it, along with two beautiful maidens serving it fresh meat.

“Heh, it’s even better at enjoying life than I am. This little white tiger is quite comfortable…” Lin Fan revealed a mouthful of white teeth, sparkling with crystalline light.

Then, he looked at the two young women beside him, who, it seemed, besides being more beautiful, could only be admired and were not at all good at serving people.

“Don’t get any ideas! We won’t feed you anything!”

Yue Chan's main body glared at him and continued to look downstairs. Several people caught her interest, or rather, the attire on their clothes, which was almost identical to that of the Butian Sect.

“How could my School’s Disciples be here? Could it be… Butian Pavilion?!”

Suddenly, she recalled something related to an ancient Disciple who had been expelled from the School and had established a School in the Barren Region of the Lower Realm.

Soon, that group of people and the little white tiger got into a conflict. In fact, it wasn't a big deal originally; it was just because a young girl made a remark, and one side refused to let it go.

“Roar…” The little white tiger let out a low growl, its eyes cold, releasing a ferocious aura, staring mercilessly at the young men and women.

“Slap yourselves, otherwise you will face a great calamity!” The little white tiger did not speak, but a carriage driver spoke on its behalf, scolding them.

“Fellow Daoist, the children are ignorant, so please don’t hold it against them. Our Butian Pavilion doesn’t cause trouble, but we also aren’t afraid of it.”

Fortunately, a Senior from the Butian Pavilion group came and stood in front of them.

“Heh, is Butian Pavilion so impressive? We are from Xiling Beast Mountain. We will meet again, and Baiduan Mountain will be the time for us to settle scores with you!” The driver snorted, speaking sharply.

That white tiger was even more murderous, its sharp fangs glinting with cold light, its eyes incredibly chilling, as if it were staring at prey, full of bloodlust and threat.

Clearly, if they entered the Small World, a bloody battle would be inevitable once the two forces met.

“What great prestige Xiling Beast Mountain has!”

In the pavilion, Yue Chan frowned, feeling a bit angry. No matter what, Butian Pavilion was considered a branch of Butian Sect, and to be bullied by a mixed-blood white tiger was truly detestable.

Compared to her, Lin Fan seemed calm and didn't take the matter to heart at all. Instead, he focused his gaze on a ten-year-old child.

“Don’t worry, isn’t it just a little kitty? It’s just food. My Brother Lin Fan said that in all the heavens and myriad worlds, anything that isn’t humanoid can be eaten.” Xiao Budian said.

Then, he added, “I’ve even eaten pure-blood creatures, so what’s a remnant species?!”

The Butian Pavilion group was stunned. Was this Junior Brother so brave? He had even eaten pure-blood creatures, truly amazing. So, the big shot was by my side all along.

“That’s… Little Hao!” Yuechan's secondary body exclaimed in surprise.
