Chapter 19: Lin Chen, I’m Back (Part 4)

After leaving, Lin Fan stood alone in the silent Void Realm, yet the flame within his heart remained unbearably scorching.

He took a deep breath, trying to calm his emotions, but Su Wanqing's figure involuntarily surfaced in his mind.

She was gentle and delicate, always tenderly accommodating him, ready to be plucked at any moment.

Moreover, the two were already married, so he felt no guilt towards her.

However, Su Wanqing was currently far away at Tianji Pavilion; water from afar cannot quench a near thirst, Lin Fan muttered softly, a trace of helplessness flashing in his eyes.

With a shift in his thoughts, Lin Fan began to calculate other options.

Fairy Youyue, with whom he had a one-night stand just moments ago, was mature and charming, her every gesture bewitching and irresistible.

Or Bai Youyou, enchanting and intoxicating, born to seduce, every movement of hers soft enough to make one lose their reason.

After some weighing, Lin Fan ultimately chose Bai Youyou.

After all, she was not only his confidante but could also be considered his "second wife."

Although their relationship was ambiguous, because of their special status, their relationship could never be made public.

This romance could only be hidden deep in his heart.

Lin Fan gave a wry smile, then locked onto Bai Youyou's location, and his body instantly plunged into the Void Realm.

When Lin Fan appeared again, the scene before him made his breath hitch—Bai Youyou was lazily reclining on a luxurious soft couch.

She was dressed in a form-fitting dark red long dress, which accentuated her exquisite, curvaceous figure, making her even more enchanting.

Upon seeing Lin Fan, the corners of her mouth curled into a charming smile, her eyes swirling with a hint of teasing and mockery: "Lin Fan, did you come to me specifically to quench your thirst?"

Seeing the dark red dress, Lin Fan knew Bai Youyou was prepared, so he did not stand on ceremony.

"Youyou, you know. Lin Chen… she… is still young."

Bai Youyou pressed softly against Lin Fan, her body so soft it felt as if it were melting away.

She breathed like an orchid into Lin Fan's ear, "I know, isn't this all prepared specifically for you."

Lin Fan wrapped his arms around her soft waist. On the soft couch, two figures intertwined, and Bai Youyou's hazy cries echoed long into the deep night.

Two hours later, the space rippled, and Lin Fan's figure reappeared in Lin Chen's room.

Lin Chen was leaning against the bedside, holding a soft velvet pillow, her eyes slightly dazed, but upon hearing the movement, she immediately raised her head, a flash of joy in her eyes: "You're back, I thought you wouldn't come today."

Lin Fan looked at her, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and he walked over slowly: "How could that be? I just went out to handle some matters."

Lin Chen giggled, looking up at him mischievously: "Is it because I was too provocative that you had to go out to 'cool off'?"

Lin Fan smiled helplessly, reaching out to flick her little nose, his tone doting: "You charming little enchantress, stop letting your imagination run wild. Alright, it's time to sleep."

Lin Chen laughed, put down the velvet pillow in her arms, burrowed into the soft quilt, and reached out to grab Lin Fan's sleeve: "Alright, but you have to sleep with me!"

Lin Fan sat on the edge of the bed, pulled her into his arms, and said softly: "Okay, I'll stay with you."

Lin Chen leaned into his embrace, her breathing light and slow, a faint sweet fragrance emanating from her body, making one feel at peace.

Lin Fan felt her soft, warm breath, his heart filled with tranquility. Before long, his breathing gradually steadied, and he sank into a dream.

The night was gentle, and starlight outside the window illuminated the figures of the two sleeping in each other's arms.

Outside the window, a figure was concealed—Bai Youyou, her form as light as smoke. Moonlight spilled onto her, outlining a breathtaking silhouette.

It was a suffocatingly beautiful face, leaning gently toward the window, the corners of her mouth slightly raised in a faint smile.

The night breeze brushed by, and Bai Youyou vanished into the night like flowing clouds.

Lin Fan seemed to sense something, his arm subconsciously tightening around Lin Chen.

Lin Chen frowned slightly in her sleep, murmuring a few words, her voice as light as a mosquito, remaining fast asleep.

The first ray of morning sunlight passed through the window lattice and fell onto Lin Chen's face.

Her eyelashes fluttered slightly, as light as butterfly wings, and then she slowly opened her light green eyes, filled with hazy sleepiness.

Lin Chen's cheeks were stained with the soft light of dawn, appearing even sweeter and more moving.

She turned her head slightly to look at the sleeping Lin Fan beside her, a faint smile appearing at the corners of her mouth, like a flower blooming in the morning, quiet and with a hint of coyness.

She stretched lazily, her slender arms extending from the thin quilt, her movements as lazy as a cat.

Her soft, long hair scattered on the pillow, and the sound of her fine breathing added a touch of softness and warmth to this morning.

"Morning, sleepyhead."

Lin Chen poked Lin Fan's cheek with her finger.

Lin Fan opened his eyes, his gaze falling on the quiet and lovely Lin Chen before him, and he couldn't help but reveal a doting smile.

Lin Fan pinched her smooth, tender cheek and got up, saying: "Lin Chen, I have important things to do today, I need to go discuss them with Sect Master Qi Meng."

Lin Chen blinked, her eyes filled with some confusion, then she propped herself up against the headboard, cupping her face with both hands, listening quietly to what Lin Fan had to say next.

"Last night I realized that the Mirror Sect Disciples are only a part of the Mirror Sect's forces. Their true goal is to invade the entire Canglan Immortal Domain."

Lin Fan's tone became grave, "The Mirror Sect not only possesses strange techniques but also a terrifying technology—similar to modern consciousness uploading and slicing, which can alter human thinking and bodies, truly worse than death."

Lin Chen's expression gradually grew serious, and her hands subconsciously gripped the quilt tightly.

"The Mirror Sect… is it that terrifying? What should we do?"

Lin Fan reached out and ruffled her hair, "Don't worry, I have decided to tell Sect Master Qi Meng about this intelligence. We need to formulate a detailed battle plan, unite all forces, and jointly resist the Mirror Sect's invasion."

Lin Chen nodded, but her brows remained slightly furrowed: "Then you must be careful. If the Mirror Sect can master this kind of technology, they will definitely come for you."

"Rest assured," Lin Fan stood up, straightened his clothes, his gaze as resolute as a sword, "I will not let anyone threaten the Canglan Immortal Domain, nor will I let you suffer the slightest harm."

Lin Chen watched him silently, wrapping her arms around her knees, her voice as soft as a mosquito: "Then can I help with anything?"

"Taking good care of yourself is the greatest help to me."

After speaking, Lin Fan gently flicked her little nose, then turned and left.

Lin Chen sat on the bed, watching his retreating back, thinking to herself that she must also take action.

Lin Fan walked out of the room, his footsteps steady as he descended the pavilion's wooden stairs.

He wore a dark gold combat outfit, the hem fluttering with his steps, reflecting his sharp and composed Aura.

As he approached, the atmosphere in the first-floor hall grew increasingly grave.

In the center of the first floor, Sect Master Qi Meng sat in the main seat, dressed in purple-gold robes, magnificent and dignified.

Her expression was like the bright moon in the mountains, cold and permeated with endless majesty; clearly, she had been waiting for a long time.

Sitting opposite her were two prominent figures.

On the left was the Chief Outer Sect Elder, Instructor Liu Qingwan; her eyes were gentle, and she wore a light green robe, giving a sense of detachment from worldly affairs.

On the right was the Chief Inner Sect Elder, the Master of Leiyin Palace, known as the "Thunder Empress."

She wore thunder-patterned battle armor, standing tall and straight, with a full, alluring figure, especially the ample breasts that filled her armor to the brim.

She exuded an explosive sense of beauty and power.

The three remained silent, and the hall was so quiet that only Lin Fan's footsteps could be heard.
