Chapter 84: Mothership Evacuation and the Agreement of the Immortal Palace
"The mothership will initiate a wormhole jump in 1 minute. All combat units, please return immediately."
The announcement from the Grim Mothership echoed throughout the ship, its voice solemn and calm.
"Let's go, we have to leave this place," Lin Fan said to the team members beside him.
"Yeah!" They nodded in tacit understanding and followed Lin Fan out of the Grim Mothership.
The recovery hatch of the Grim Mothership slowly opened, and the various small warships entered one by one.
As the last small warship entered, the recovery hatch closed. The entire mothership was enveloped in a faint blue light and began to accelerate, preparing for a wormhole jump.
A minute later, high in the sky, a pitch-black wormhole gradually took shape. The mothership's jump engines activated, and it passed through the black wormhole, disappearing into the distance.
The airspace, once intertwined with the flames of war, was completely cleared with the closing of the wormhole.
The Zerg fleet that had originally occupied this space was nowhere to be seen, as if it had never existed.
Meanwhile, in the center of the spirit dew Immortal Pool, the final Heavenly Tribulation struck down like thunder, blasting apart the black clouds in the sky.
The figure of Sect Master Qi Meng rose amidst the thunder, her aura fluctuating violently as she instantly achieved a Breakthrough to the Void Refinement Stage.
As the lightning faded, Fairy Qimeng's figure steadied in the air. Looking in the direction the Grim Mothership had departed, she said indignantly, "Those bugs really run fast. If they were any slower, I would have wiped them all out."
Lin Chen had already changed out of the vincent battle armor. Wearing an elegant, flowing light green dress, she arrived gracefully and nimbly beside Sect Master Qi Meng.
"Yeah, Sister, you've achieved a Breakthrough, and they've all run away. They really are cunning."
But Lin Chen knew very well that even after using the vincent battle armor and bursting forth with the combat power of the Body Integration Stage, she still had no chance of winning against Li Ya.
And as for the real reason Li Ya retreated, perhaps only Lin Fan knew.
Thinking of this, Lin Chen stole a glance at Lin Fan, already preparing how to interrogate him about the sequence of events.
Lin Fan immediately felt a chill down his spine. Should he tell her that he and Li Ya had been messing around for three years and developed feelings over time, or should he say that he and the Mirror Venerable—who was also Fairy Guanghan—had a child, which was why the battle ended?
Whichever one he said, he felt like he was done for.
"Alright, Sister, your Breakthrough is a great joyous event. From now on, no one will dare to come and bully us. We must celebrate properly."
Sect Master Qi Meng looked at Lin Chen dotingly. "That's right, you two deserve the most credit this time."
Just as everyone was bustling about, preparing to celebrate, Lin Fan was pulled by Lin Chen into a small room on the second floor of the Qimeng Courtyard.
The two leaned against the head of the bed, amidst soft bedding, and Lin Chen comfortably rested her head on Lin Fan's lap.
A faint, elegant fragrance inadvertently wafted from her body, and a few strands of curly hair hung down casually.
"Fan, are you tired? Why don't you lie down for a while too?"
"I'm not tired," Lin Fan said, while dotingly stroking her hair.
Lin Chen lay on Lin Fan's lap, gently wrapping her arms around his waist, closed her eyes, and said lazily:
"Let me rest for a while. I'm exhausted. Li Ya is just an unkillable monster. Every time I blast her to bits, she can revive with full health. It's truly maddening."
"Hehe, you rest then," Lin Fan stroked her beautiful hair.
Lin Chen didn't speak again, lying quietly as her calm breathing gradually became steady.
Before long, she drifted into dreamland, a carefree expression appearing on her face.
The sky cleared up, and sunlight shone through the curtains onto the head of the bed, the warm rays waking the sleeping Lin Chen.
She rubbed her sleepy eyes and squinted at Lin Fan: "Fan, how long have I slept?"
Lin Fan chuckled and answered lightly: "Not long, two days."
"Ah! I slept for two days? What about the victory banquet?" Lin Chen sat up abruptly, a flash of panic in her eyes.
Lin Fan still carried a relaxed smile: "Hehe, it's already over. Sect Master Qi Meng came to see you, but didn't disturb your rest."
"Alright then." Lin Chen breathed a sigh of relief. Then, suddenly remembering something, her eyes became deep, and she looked at Lin Fan with a hint of hope.
"By the way, Fan, why did Li Ya run away as soon as she saw you at the end?"
Lin Fan froze for a moment, his eyes dimming, but he quickly returned to calm.
"I reached a peace agreement with the Mirror Venerable. I provide him with the Void Realm matter to stabilize the Heavenly Kingdom, and she gave up on conquering the Canglan Immortal Domain."
Lin Chen suddenly realized, a flash of surprise in her eyes: "Oh! So that's how it is! But if that's the case, won't the Five Regions Alliance we just formed have to face dissolution? It was just united!"
Lin Fan chuckled, "It's fine! I can have the Mirror Venerable cooperate with us in a performance. We'll stage a battle that concerns the fate of the entire Canglan Immortal Domain."
Lin Chen widened her eyes, "Good, good, good! You're really something! You can even do that."
"Lin Chen," Lin Fan suddenly spoke, his gaze gentle, "Are you hungry?"
Lin Chen subconsciously shook her head, wanting to say that she wasn't hungry, as she had long since reached a Realm where she had no need for food.
However, upon second thought, how could she miss this opportunity to act spoiled?
Thus, the corners of her mouth lifted slightly, and she feigned weakness as she said: "Mm, so hungry. I want to drink milk tea, roast flower duck, steamed bear paw… and all kinds of desserts!"
"Alright, I'll get them for you right away." Saying this, Lin Fan ran quickly toward Le Shan Xuan. For things like this, he certainly had to make them himself.
Seeing him act so dotingly, Lin Chen felt a warmth in her heart, and the corners of her mouth curled up involuntarily: "Fan, it's so good."
Three days later, Lin Fan took out the world-breaking pendant, gave it a gentle activation, and immediately Transmigrated to Guanghan Palace.
Sue's Guanghan Palace remained towering and magnificent, like a splendid Immortal Palace floating amidst the clouds and mist.
As soon as Lin Fan stepped into the hall, several Jade Rabbits transformed into human form and came forward to greet him.
"The Palace Master is not here, please wait a moment," one of the Jade Rabbit maids said respectfully.
Lin Fan nodded and stood quietly in the center of the palace, waiting for the arrival of Fairy Guanghan.
Before long, Fairy Guanghan's figure arrived slowly like the wind.
She wore a flowing Hanfu, with white gauze like clouds and fluttering sleeves, setting off her graceful figure and revealing every perfect curve.
She gently held a small rabbit in her arms, her eyes and brows filled with a touch of affection and tenderness.
Her white jade-like skin and stunningly beautiful face were still the same as before, instantly making the temperature in the air seem to rise a few degrees.
Lin Fan's gaze couldn't help but freeze. Fairy Guanghan was still so beautiful, one look lasting ten thousand years, forever frozen in that moving appearance.
Upon seeing Lin Fan, Fairy Guanghan first revealed a look of surprise, but in an instant, a hint of coldness flashed in the depths of her eyes.
She raised her hand to gently stroke the Jade Rabbit in her arms, her tone soft yet carrying clear displeasure.
"Lin Fan, do you regret not having obtained my body back then, and have come to demand it now?"
