Chapter 751: Chapter 751: Rescuing Ni Chang Operation

In the night, the village was still brightly lit by torches.

Only after the earthquake and the explosions had completely stopped did the villagers warily return to their homes.

With the return of the Third Elder, several key figures in the clan were summoned over.

Clearly, they were going to discuss the night’s disturbances.

However, Lin Fan had no interest in meddling in such affairs at the moment.

After returning to his room, taking a bath, and informing Xu Zhi Rou about the events, he went straight to bed.

He slept soundly and deeply.

In his dream, he seemed to return to the days on his throne when all the tribes submitted to him and the eight desolate regions paid tribute.

"There’s trouble!"

Zhao Jiaqi’s voice woke him from his dream.

He opened his bleary eyes to see Zhao Jiaqi rushing in urgently.

Her standard outfit of shorts and a crop top was indeed quite an eye-opener.

"Making such a fuss early in the morning, is it really necessary?"

Lin Fan stretched languidly, noticing that Xu Zhi Rou was no longer beside him.

"What early morning? It’s already the afternoon, the sun is shining on our backsides, and you’re still lazing in bed."

Zhao Jiaqi pouted her lips, annoyed that his sleep had almost caused a time difference.

"Afternoon it is, then. Anyway, the golden corpse has already been sealed. What could possibly go wrong in a place like this!"

Lin Fan sat up lazily, looking at Zhao Jiaqi, who was as sweet as a peach: "The only thing that could happen is you barging into a wolf’s den. Now, alone with a man, aren’t you afraid?"

"How annoying, I’m trying to tell you something serious."

Zhao Jiaqi gave him a lovingly annoyed look, her face turning red: "Just now, they discovered the reason for the golden corpse’s rampage last night. It was a woman named Sun Yuying who incited her son to deceive Zhou Dequan into going to their ancestral grave. She told him that his father couldn’t come back and needed his help. He had to kowtow at the ancestral grave until he bled from his forehead. Zhou Dequan, being simple-minded, was deceived by her words."

"Why would Sun Yuying do such a thing?"

Lin Fan curiously looked at Zhao Jiaqi. If the golden corpse were released, the Zhou Family would be doomed.

Such a deep grudge to do something like this.

"It’s all because you killed that child’s uncle. Sun Yuying harbored a grudge in her heart!"

Zhao Jiaqi’s explanation baffled Lin Fan even more: "Wait a minute, an uncle, not a real father—was it necessary to go so far as to burn both jade and common stone?"

"But the thing is, the child’s real father is the uncle he thought he had... Now the whole village knows about this. Sun Yuying had been having an affair with the child’s uncle behind the scenes. Her husband knew but didn’t dare to interfere, considering his uncle was a seventh-grade master and also a trusted aid of Zhou Quanfu. Now she’s not only killed herself but also harmed her son. You see, her son actually had talent and had been chosen as one of the first to learn the new Cultivation Technique. But now it’s all over. The Third Elder has already spoken—they’re going to light a Sky Lantern for her and her son."

Zhao Jiaqi pouted, the strict family rules making the punishment of lighting a Sky Lantern something she had only read about in history books.

This punishment was indeed explosive, something that hasn’t happened for a thousand years.

"Well, pushing the entire clan to the brink of death, I must say this woman really deserves it!"

Lin Fan shook his head, though he considered this little episode to be of little consequence.

"All right, let’s not meddle too much in other people’s business. I came here to take you back, and also because Ni Chang is in trouble. I’m afraid only you can help her!"

It’s best to leave others’ affairs as mere gossip. Lin Fan hurriedly explained Ni Chang’s situation.

"Destroying the passage? Cutting off everything, that doesn’t seem right!"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Jiaqi was also taken aback. It made no sense for Ni Chang to do this; after all, finding a passage was not an easy task, and she had no reason to cut herself off from the outside world, especially since her feelings for Lin Fan were already obvious.

"I also find this matter very strange, and it only started happening after I went back from treating me last time, so I must go in and see for myself no matter what."

Lin Fan naturally couldn’t figure out why, so he could only go in and find Ni Chang to ask for clarification.

"So, you’ve gone to all this trouble to find me, just to have me help you look for Ni Chang, right?"

It’s undeniable, women are as unfathomable as the ocean’s depth. Zhao Jiaqi, who was worried about her best friend just a second ago, suddenly pouted her lips.

Putting it like that, seeking her out was merely incidental; the one he was truly concerned about was Ni Chang.

"Wow, even you can get jealous. This matter doesn’t differentiate between primary and secondary concerns, okay? And if it weren’t for me, you would have been defiled by your father-in-law!"

Lin Fan gave a wry smile and shook his head. You could never really fathom the thoughts of a woman.

"Defiled then defiled, what does it have to do with you!"

Zhao Jiaqi glared fiercely at Lin Fan, who was utterly clueless about how to console someone.

This foul mouth of his, why does it attract so many women?

She spun around, fuming, and stormed off.

"What does it have to do with you!"

The next second, an intense pulling force came from behind Zhao Jiaqi.

Before she could comprehend, she had already fallen into Lin Fan’s arms.

"You... what are you doing... let go... scumbag!"

Zhao Jiaqi cried out urgently.

"Keep shouting, even if you scream your throat raw, it seems like no one will come to help you."

Lin Fan smirked, turned over, and directly pinned Zhao Jiaqi beneath him: "Now let’s properly discuss, what does this matter have to do with me?"

"You... don’t mess around... ah... pervert... why aren’t you wearing clothes when you sleep!"

Zhao Jiaqi shouted heatedly, but the next second, her body tightened all over.

Because Lin Fan was actually wearing nothing at all.

"Nonsense, sleeping is such a relaxing activity, why should I wear clothes? If someone comes knocking, wouldn’t that be bothersome?"

Lin Fan licked his lips, looking at Zhao Jiaqi’s cute face close at hand, and said, "I told you just now, barging into a man’s room is not a good thing. You just wouldn’t listen. Now let me ask you again, does it have anything to do with me?"

"It does... it does... don’t move around... don’t touch..."

Feeling Lin Fan’s hand slipping under her clothes, Zhao Jiaqi shouted loudly.

She was wearing so little to begin with, and with his groping, she was completely devoured.

"Oh, then do you dare to talk back like that in the future?"

Lin Fan aggressively stared at Zhao Jiaqi, this beauty before him like a delicacy that could only satisfy him once consumed.

Moreover, after a few encounters, he discovered a little secret: Zhao Jiaqi was actually very receptive to this approach.

"I don’t dare... I’ll never dare again... please, I’m begging you, spare me!"

Zhao Jiaqi pleaded miserably, her face grimacing at his overbearingness, which seemed totally unreasonable.

Yet, deep down, there was a voice calling out to her.

She was so frightened that she didn’t dare to look into Lin Fan’s eyes, for fear of being controlled by that voice and truly surrendering herself.
