Chapter 344: Envy the Mandarin Ducks, Not the Immortals

Lin Fan picked up Lin Chaoying and walked toward the bed. Lin Chaoying closed her eyes, and her meaning was already very clear: let him do as he pleased.

Lin Fan lowered the bed curtains and leaned over. He gently bit Lin Chaoying's earlobe. Lin Chaoying opened her eyes and gave Lin Fan a glare, then took the initiative to wrap her arms around Lin Fan's neck and pull him closer, then kissed him straight on.

Afterward, the bed curtains began to sway. The 'Ice Soul Glazed Body' was indeed extraordinary; not only was it of great benefit to martial arts, but it was also like divine assistance in the matters of the bedroom.

It wasn't until two hours later, when the clouds and rain had ceased, that Lin Chaoying lay in Lin Fan's arms drawing circles. She could be considered the only one among Lin Fan's women who hadn't fallen asleep due to exhaustion.

"Lin Fan, all of this is like a dream."

Lin Chaoying murmured, not knowing if she was saying it to herself or to Lin Fan.

"Eh, isn't this what I said before? Why is it your turn to say it now?"

Lin Fan lowered his head and touched Lin Chaoying's flawless face.

"I don't know why either, anyway, I just feel like I'm in a dream."

Lin Chaoying was actually because the years she had spent dead were a blank. Although she had learned about what happened over these years with the help of the diary copy, she hadn't truly experienced it, so her feelings weren't deep enough.

To her, it was as if she had just had her heart broken by Wang Chongyang, and then she had fallen in love with Lin Fan. All of this happened too fast, making even her feel a bit unbelievable.

"It seems I didn't do enough, the impression isn't deep. After the impression is deep, you will naturally know what is reality and what is a dream. The past events are just passing clouds!"

Lin Fan immediately leaned over and deepened Lin Chaoying's memory.

Another hour passed, and this time Lin Chaoying also fell asleep in exhaustion.

Lin Fan smiled triumphantly and then began to write in his diary.

"In the blink of an eye, another day has passed, and it's time to write in the diary again. Thinking about filling the word count every day is quite tiring.

Today, not many things happened because I spent the entire day playing and frolicking with my women, playing the zither and flute, and having a barbecue picnic.

Usually, I'm too busy. Today I'm in the Great Ming, tomorrow I might be in the Great Song, always rushing on the road. It's not right to neglect the people by my side.

After all, my original intention was to travel the Jianghu with beauties, not to keep turning like a machine. There are too many major events in the Jianghu; it's impossible for me to participate in every one of them. I would rather spend my time accompanying my women!"

Lin Fan's women were very happy to see this, and other heroines were also a bit envious to see this; they also wanted to have such love.

"At night, I took Mengyao, Long'er, Lingshan, and Yunluo to watch the duel between Ximen Chuixue and Ye Gucheng. Lu Xiaofeng was so anxious, and I don't know what he was anxious about. Ye Gucheng wasn't even anxious; it was truly a case of 'the Emperor is not anxious, but the eunuch is.'

When we arrived at the Peak of the Forbidden City, Ye Gucheng was indeed not there, and there was only an impostor pretending to be him. I don't know if his legs were shaking when facing Ximen Chuixue, but it's a pity I was looking down at the time and didn't notice.

I don't know if Ye Gucheng was forced to help usurp the throne because he was a remnant of the previous dynasty and protected by the Prince of Nan's mansion, or if he felt his sword technique was invincible in the world and felt 'it's cold at the top' and wanted to find some stimulation.

Anyway, the matter didn't succeed in the end. Since the usurpation failed, the only path left for Ye Gucheng was death.

Ximen Chuixue and Ye Gucheng, both being supreme swordsmen, cherished each other. He couldn't bear for him to die under a hail of arrows, so he threatened the Emperor to bring him back to the Peak of the Forbidden City to continue their unfinished duel, wanting him to die by his own sword. Unfortunately, he underestimated Ye Gucheng and overestimated himself. Even if he had sworn before the duel that he would definitely win, he really wasn't Ye Gucheng's opponent. If Ye Gucheng hadn't held back at the last moment, the one who died would definitely have been him.

A ruthless swordsman who has attachments cannot bring his ruthless sword Dao to the extreme. He wasn't Ye Gucheng's opponent, but Ye Gucheng held back, so the one who died was Ye Gucheng instead.

Of course, I couldn't sit by and watch. Otherwise, why would I come to watch the duel? Wasn't I here for this last sword strike of Ye Gucheng?

So I transformed into a dragon and caught Ximen Chuixue's sword, then restored my human form and had a final move competition with Ye Gucheng. My 'A Sword Separates the World' clashed with Ye Gucheng's 'Flying Immortal from Beyond the Heavens,' and in the end, my 'A Sword Separates the World' was stronger.

However, our duel also stimulated Ximen Chuixue. I wonder if he will abandon his wife and child as soon as he gets home and pursue a higher peak of the sword Dao!"

"Is the sword Dao really that fascinating? Is there really someone who would abandon their wife and child to pursue a higher sword Dao? Or is Lin Fan alarmist?"

Seeing this, some heroines couldn't believe it, thinking it was impossible for anyone to do such a thing.

But people like Qin Mengyao knew that such things were entirely possible.

Moreover, Qin Mengyao had originally planned to do just that. She wanted to use her love for Lin Fan to enter the realm of 'sitting in a dead-end' of the *Cihang Sword Manual*, and then sever all emotions and cut off everything to pursue a higher realm.

It was just that she was conquered by Lin Fan and abandoned her original idea.

In this way, Qin Mengyao's *Cihang Sword Manual* could not reach the highest realm. It just so happened that the *Su Nu Jing* rewarded by the diary copy was a supreme immortal sutra, so she intended to switch to practicing the *Su Nu Jing*.

The *Su Nu Jing* and the *Cihang Sword Manual* are two extremes. The *Cihang Sword Manual* requires severing all emotions when reaching the highest realm, while the *Su Nu Jing* emphasizes that 'men desire women, women desire men, and emotions and intentions are in harmony, both having joy in their hearts.'

So Qin Mengyao intended to abandon the *Cihang Sword Manual* and practice the *Su Nu Jing* with Lin Fan.

"To me, the realm is never the most important thing. Even if I were to become an immortal now, it would be impossible for me to leave my women.

'Ten miles of flat lake, frost fills the sky; inch by inch of green silk, worrying about the flowery years. Facing the moon alone, hoping for mutual protection; only envy the mandarin ducks, not the immortals.'

And Mengyao also gave up pursuing the higher realm of the *Cihang Sword Manual* because of me. How can a person sever all emotions? If you sever all emotions, are you still a person? That's a machine. I am very gratified by Mengyao's change.

However, her senior sister Jin Bingyun taking the initiative to deliver herself to my door was something I didn't expect. Yan Jing'an sent her to Pang Ban's side to 'feed the demon with her body,' but I didn't expect her to run to me, and she even said I was a peerless lecherous demon, and for the sake of the world's people, she had to sacrifice herself to 'feed the demon with her body.' Welcome to feed the demon.

Who is next? It wouldn't be Shi Feixuan, would it? Demon Sect people, put in some effort! Why do you always let Cihang Jingzhai take the lead? Wan Wan, where are you?

Forget it, I already have enough women. There's no need to force anything. If I meet them, it's fate; if I don't, it's no fate.

To obtain them is my luck, to lose them is my fate. With this, good night!"

"Want me to go? I'm afraid the people of Cihang Jingzhai will subdue demons and monsters!"

A woman as white as snow, with bare feet under her skirt, was standing by the window looking into the distance at this moment.

She also wanted to see what kind of person Lin Fan was, but she was afraid, because her 'Heavenly Demon Great Law' was currently stuck at the seventeenth level. She was afraid that if she met Lin Fan, she would never have the chance to advance to the eighteenth level again. ===== CHAPTER 346 =====
