Chapter 303: The Green Lantern
Xu Fan placed his hand on Wang Yulun again to check his condition.
After a while, Xu Fan slowly withdrew his hand.
“How is it, Big Brother Xu?” Wang Yulun asked.
“I can’t pinpoint the exact issue, but I feel that the strange power within your soul has grown a bit stronger,” Xu Fan said, frowning.
“I knew it,” Wang Yulun sighed, sounding resigned.
“But I have to ask, why did you refuse?”
Xu Fan couldn’t help but marvel at the power of fate. His wife was so close, yet her influence reached even into his dreams.
“It’s just frustrating. That woman is invisible and untouchable, like a ghost.”
“Back then, I was just curious to see what would happen if I refused. I never expected…”
“Things to spiral out of control.”
Wang Yulun picked up a cup of spirit tea and took a sip.
“Big Brother Xu, after I’m gone, I’ll need you to look after my two sons.”
Hearing this, Xu Fan frowned. “You’re like my golden finger, my closest brother. Anyone else can die, but not you.”
“Just stay safe in the sect. With me around, you won’t die,” Xu Fan said firmly.
“Big Brother Xu, the way you treat me—if I didn’t know you had a cultivation partner, I’d almost be scared,” Wang Yulun joked.
“Haha, you used to look decent, but now you’ve turned into an old man. I doubt anyone would be interested in you now,” Xu Fan teased, looking at Wang Yulun’s white hair.
“What’s GAY? Like being attracted to men?”
“It’s even more intense than that,” Xu Fan chuckled.
“I don’t know who that woman in your dreams is, but the energy in your soul—I think it’s the key to that time secret realm.”
“If you can absorb that power, it might solve your current problem.”
“For now, focus on recovering and cultivating to the Nascent Soul stage. Leave the rest to me.”
“Then I’ll leave my life in your hands, Big Brother Xu.”
“I’ll make sure you live until the end of the universe.”
After leaving Wang Yulun, Xu Fan headed to the underground space to think about how to solve Wang Yulun’s problem.
The world was vast, but his golden finger was his top priority. Xu Fan wouldn’t let anything happen to his good brother.
In the Void Realm, the once-simple small town was now heavily fortified, with hundreds of precision crossbows mounted on the city walls.
Guards patrolled the walls, holding repeat crossbows and keeping an eye on the giant wooden forests to prevent any beasts from attacking the farmers working in the fields.
Meanwhile, Li Xingci’s blacksmith shop had expanded into a large factory, where hundreds of workers forged parts that were assembled into precision crossbows.
Li Xingci stood by a high furnace, directing his apprentices as they poured molten steel into molds for giant arrows.
Suddenly, Li Xingci felt a sharp pain in his chest, as if a premonition had struck him.
“Is something wrong with my master?” he wondered, his brow furrowing in concern.
"Looks like we need to speed up the plan to hunt the beasts."
After arranging the apprentices, Li Xingci returned to his courtyard.
As soon as he entered, he saw Su Rantian lovingly embroidering a bellyband for a child.
"Husband, you’re back," Su Rantian said gently, about to stand up to pour tea for Li Xingci.
"Don’t move; be careful not to disturb the baby," Li Xingci hurriedly replied. A month ago, during a meal, Su Rantian vomited, and Li Xingci realized he was going to be a father.
"It’s only been a little over a month; there’s no baby yet," Su Rantian laughed, her maternal glow shining through.
Unexpectedly, arriving in the Void Realm completely turned into a mundane world; the two, without realizing it…
"I just felt a little pain in my chest; it’s a sudden thought. I wonder if my master is in trouble. It seems we need to hurry home."
"Our child must be born before we reach the cultivation world; otherwise, there’s a high chance he’ll become a mundane person without spirit roots," Li Xingci said, helping Su Rantian sit down.
“Actually, this place is quite nice,” Su Rantian admitted, starting to enjoy this ordinary life.
“It’s nice here, but the outside cultivation world is where we truly belong.”
“This world gives us too little time; a hundred years isn’t enough to express my love for you,” Li Xingci said, gazing at Su Rantian with deep affection. The more they spent time together, the more he felt he couldn’t live without her.
“Then let’s hurry back,” Su Rantian said, blushing, her heart racing like a little deer.
“Almost there,” Li Xingci said, looking at the nails that were soon to be covered in gold.
“You two shouldn’t act like I don’t exist,” the old man said, looking hurt; love knows no age.
“Kid, how much longer until you act? If you take another year, I might really be done for,” the old man urged.
“Soon, in at most a month, I’ll be able to confirm the timing of our plan,” Li Xingci replied.
“Looks like you’re really confident. It’s a pity that when I traveled through the mundane world, I saw some ordinary people create powerful machines; the most powerful could even injure Nascent Soul. I only gave it a casual glance back then.”
“It wasn’t until I came to this world that I realized it was the will of heaven giving me a chance, and I didn’t seize it,” the old man sighed.
“Elder, after we get familiar, you’ll repeat that eight hundred times a day,” Li Xingci laughed.
“Just wait a bit longer; you’ll have your chance to shine.”
“Well then, I’m looking forward to being your guardian after we get out.”
Just then, the sound of bells rang out again.
At this moment, thousands of beasts gathered outside the small town and charged toward it.
"It seems we won’t have to wait much longer."
Li Xingci ran toward the city walls with the old man.
“Wait for me to come back for a meal.”
“I’ll wait for you,” Su Rantian looked at Li Xingci’s back with warmth in her heart.
On the city wall, hundreds of repeating crossbows were already ready, and thousands of giant arrows shot toward the beast horde below.
Yet, a few heavily armored beasts broke through to the city gate.
The small town’s iron door was easily smashed open by the giant beast, which charged into the city.
Li Xingci and the old man calmly stood at the center of the small town’s street.
"Are you confident? If not, I’ll use the secret technique," the old man said eagerly, as he originally intended to use his powerful magic to fight the beasts one last time before he died.
“Elder, step back; leave this to me,” Li Xingci replied.
A thread, a hundred times thinner than a hair, emerged from Li Xingci’s fingernail and swiftly pierced through dozens of beasts that had entered the small town.
‘Sssss~~’
The sound was like a blade slicing through glass; the bloodthirsty beasts crashed together and fell into perfectly organized pieces.
The battle continued, and fewer beasts were able to breach the small town.
By the time the fighting ended, neither Li Xingci nor the old man had a drop of beast blood on them.
Li Xingci declined the prepared victory banquet and returned to his small courtyard.
A green lantern, a pot of exquisite wine, four small dishes, and a beautiful woman.
