Chapter 224: Chapter 224: The Holy Maiden Must Also Be Under My Control

In the dark alley.

Zhao Jiaqi stood there, her face deathly pale.

The whip, like a spirit snake, not only made her breathing difficult.

But also threatened to stop her life at any moment.

"Ni Yan, it’s not that I deliberately oppose the Sky Cave, it’s that they knowingly break the law, collude with foreign auction houses, and steal and sell cultural relics. They deserve to be severely punished by the law. My actions are out of helplessness,"

Zhao Jiaqi held her neck with both hands.

She explained with difficulty.

"Don’t call me that, you don’t deserve it!"

Ni Yan’s voice was as cold and merciless as ever, "This is the Sky Cave, a new world established by our ancestors, not subject to your ridiculous laws. The rule of the Tomb Raider World is that the capable ones get it, everything buried underground belongs to the tomb raiders of the world!"

"Cough cough... allow me to say something."

Lin Fan, who had been standing opposite, couldn’t help but cough lightly and said.

"Betraying one’s peers is indeed unethical, but what you’re doing isn’t ethical either. At best she’s just an undercover agent, disloyal to you, but to us, she is loyal. Moreover, who says that everything buried underground belongs to you? The Mountain God isn’t as overbearing as you. Do you think you’re King Yama?"

"This is not your place to speak!"

Ni Yan, turning her head, glared indifferently at Lin Fan.

Even though the embarrassment of him seeing her skirt earlier still lingered in her heart.

But Ni Yan, who was rigorously trained from a young age, was no ordinary person.

Her control over her emotions was quite formidable.

"What’s the matter, does my speaking cause a gas leak?"

Lin Fan rolled his eyes and said, "I’m just kindly warning you, if you don’t accept that, it’s fine. I don’t care what grievances you have with her. But if you say that you don’t care at all about selling your ancestors’ treasures to foreigners, that’s not acceptable. After all, what’s buried underground isn’t just from your ancestors."

"What, are they from your ancestors?"

It was unclear if it was because her privacy had been invaded.

Or because she felt an unusual pressure emanating from Lin Fan.

The usually reticent Ni Yan didn’t immediately take action.

However, her beautiful phoenix eyes were still cold and merciless.

"Whose ancestors they are doesn’t matter; what matters is, even if these ceremonial objects are exposed to the light, they’re treasures left for future generations, not for you to trade for glory and wealth. I also don’t want my future children to only be able to see artifacts that belong to our ancestors in a foreign country,"

Lin Fan watched Ni Yan with a smile on his face.

He had to admit, the killing intent she radiated.

Was definitely the most intense he had encountered since returning to the country.

Especially that whip of unknown origin, it was extraordinary.

"If you like sticking your nose into other people’s business so much, maybe you won’t have children in the future,"

With a flick of Ni Yan’s wrist.

The long whip that had been tightly coiled around Zhao Jian’s neck.

Weirdly returned to her hand.

Zhao Jian’s fair neck was left with only a faint red mark.

Without a scratch.

Considering that the whip was covered with sharp barbs.

This move alone was enough to prove her strength.

"If you’re still so obstinate, convinced the Sky Cave is not subject to the nation’s laws, then there’s another possibility, that my future children might come out of your stomach,"

Lin Fan still had his hands in his pockets, a rascal’s smirk on his face.

However, his deep eyes were filled with excited light.

It had been a long time since he encountered a formidable opponent.

He was almost unable to hold back the fighting spirit within his body any longer.

"Nonsense, slap him!"

Ni Yan’s face darkened, and her right hand swiftly moved.

The previously still whip instantly turned into a blur.

Moving toward Lin Fan’s cheek.

"Don’t hit!"

Zhao Jiaqi quickly tried to intervene.

However, it was all too late.

Ni Yan’s whip moved as fast as the wind, already in front of Lin Fan.

The sharp whip was embedded with triangular blades.

Although it was only the size of a thumb.

The speed of the whip’s movement made it highly destructive.

"Thud!"

Blood spurted out.

Zhao Jiaqi, stunned in place, stared with wide eyes in terror.

As the dark red blood trickled down Lin Fan’s cheeks and dripped onto the ground.

The whole space seemed to have frozen in time.

"Indeed, it’s a fine thing."

Lin Fan still hadn’t moved from his spot.

He raised his right hand, gripping the whip tightly.

This lash had caused his palm to start bleeding.

But the smirk on his lips never faded.

It was as if the injury had nothing to do with him.

"You...you actually caught my Scholar King Whip!"

Ni Yan, just as stunned, had not expected Lin Fan’s speed to be so fast.

To actually catch a whip that had moved too fast for the naked eye to track.

His strength was so formidable that she felt threatened.

"I don’t know whether it’s Scholar King or Warrior King, but this treasure must have some age to it. What would you feel if it were to be sold overseas?"

Lin Fan slowly opened his hand.

The Scholar King Whip immediately fell to the ground.

Ni Yan instantly flicked her wrist and retracted the whip back into her hand.

"Don’t discuss such pointless principles with me; I’m not here to listen to your excuses. I’m only here to warn you for the last time. The Tomb Raider World has its rules, and violators will be severely punished. If you intend to come, you’d better keep a low profile. Otherwise, I can blacklist you at any time, and you will not be allowed to take a single step into the Tomb Raider World ever again."

Ni Yan gave Zhao Jiaqi a cold glance.

Then she turned and walked away.

That move by Lin Fan had shocked her immensely.

If he could catch that, then what was that bullet from earlier worth?

"Under the vast heavens, all lands are the emperor’s, and all who inhabit those lands are his subjects. Whether it’s the Tomb Raider World or the Holy Maiden, since you are in Huaxia, you are subject to Huaxia’s laws. So even if you are the Holy Maiden, you still fall under my jurisdiction," Lin Fan called out loudly to Ni Yan’s retreating figure.

This was a challenge.

It was also a warning.

And it signaled an unprecedented crisis.

This made Ni Yan, who had been ready to leave quickly, stop in her tracks.

She turned slowly and gave Lin Fan another look.

"The Tomb Raider World has its rules, and I have my own. I warn you once more, once you’re in here, you’d better forget all about Huaxia’s laws, or next time it won’t just be an injured palm."

Without giving Lin Fan a chance to respond,

Ni Yan flicked the whip in her wrist and hooked it around the stalactite above her head.

Her figure soared up like a fairy in an instant,

and disappeared into the darkness in a blink of an eye.

"This is like finding a chili pepper in an ice bucket," Lin Fan couldn’t help but marvel at the oddities of the world.

And he wondered what would be different when this Holy Maiden, who was used to the cold, warmed up.

"Your hand’s like this, and you’re still ogling the beauty? Careful, or you’ll bleed to death," Zhao Jiaqi hurriedly came over,

took out an emergency first-aid kit from her backpack,

sprinkled Yunnan Baiyao on a piece of gauze, and quickly began to bandage him.

"I’ve blocked everything for you that could be blocked. Now, can you tell me what that symbol means?" Lin Fan looked at Zhao Jiaqi with a smile.

After so much effort, the clue to his background was finally about to be uncovered.

"How would I know what symbol that is?"

Yet unexpectedly, Zhao Jiaqi’s words plunged him back into the abyss once again.
