Chapter 456

"Stinky guy, just let them go. It's very pitiful for a little fox to have no mother!"

Perhaps the fox spirit's maternal love for the little fox moved Lin Yueru. As someone who lacked maternal love from a young age, she empathized, so she also helped plead for them.

"Very well. Today, for the sake of Zhao Linger and Yueru, I will spare your lives. But remember, whether it's a good person or a bad person, it's not for you to judge. Once discovered by a cultivator, you will have only one path: death. You'd better just cultivate honestly in the mountains!"

Lin Fan flicked his finger, and two rays of fluorescent light entered the bodies of the snake demon and fox demon respectively.

"This is my spiritual power. Once you consume human hearts again, that spiritual power will explode inside your bodies, and you will perish. Don't say I didn't warn you!"

Lin Fan placed a restriction on the two demons to prevent them from consuming human hearts again, then raised his hand to recall the Huishan Xuan Yuan Sword.

"Thank you, benefactor, for your mercy. My husband and I will definitely cultivate diligently and never harm people again!"

The snake demon and fox demon felt the pressure lift and immediately knelt on the ground to kowtow and thank Lin Fan. Even the little fox beside them learned to bow, looking very adorable.

"I'll take the people away. You behave yourselves and don't kidnap village women again. If I find you doing evil again, I will definitely execute you without mercy!"

Lin Fan took the village women kidnapped by the snake demon and the two women, Zhao Zhao Linger and Lin Yueru, down the mountain. When the old villager found his daughter had been returned, he hurriedly kowtowed and thanked them gratefully.

"Heh!"

Lin Fan suddenly sneered, pointed his fingers like a sword, and a red line appeared on the throats of the old man and the village woman before them, and they fell to the ground and died.

"Brother Lin Fan!"

"Stinky guy!"

The two women looked at Lin Fan in shock, not understanding why he had suddenly killed them, and the targets were defenseless, innocent commoners.

"They are Moon-Worship Cultists!"

At this moment, the observant Zhao Zhao Linger noticed that the skin on the faces of the two people on the ground was wrong. She felt around and tore off the human-skin masks on their faces, discovering the crescent moons on their foreheads, only then realizing that the two were Moon-Worship Cultists.

That old thing, Moon-Worship, thinks I will follow his guidance like Li Li Xiaoyao?

Lin Fan couldn't help but secretly disparage Moon-Worship; he looked down on him too much.

"Brother Lin Fan, what does Moon-Worship want to do? Why send cultists to lurk around us?"

"He wants to guide us to understand the true meaning of love, yet he himself is like Fahai, not understanding love at all!"

"Fahai? Who is that? Is he also a demonic cult leader?"

"Him? He's a monk who only wants to subdue demons and devils. If he encountered this situation today, not only would the two demons not survive, but even the little fox would be hard-pressed to escape death!"

"So that's it. But if Moon-Worship wants to guide us, doesn't that mean our every move is under his surveillance?"

Zhao Zhao Linger wasn't very interested in Fahai; she wasn't a demon and couldn't care about others subduing demons and devils. She was more concerned about the Moon-Worship problem.

"Moon-Worship is a person who likes to play games, but he likes to use other people's familial love, romantic love, and friendship as the content of his games, using them to toy with other people's emotions. Because he thinks there is no love in the world and wants to reshape a world with love. Since he wants to play, let's play with him!"

In the original story, Li Li Xiaoyao's journey to Nanzhao was all arranged by Moon-Worship. Lin Fan wanted to see what tricks Moon-Worship could pull if he countered every move.

"There are such perverted people? Isn't romantic love just love? Familial love also counts as love. How can there be no love in the world?"

Lin Yueru felt her worldview was shattering; this Moon-Worship sounded like a demon king.

"Moon-Worship is the same as the Sword Saint, both are existences who have entered the Dao. The Sword Saint shouts about great love in the world, while Moon-Worship talks about no love in the world. It's just that these two perverts don't try to convince each other, which is truly headache-inducing."

Lin Fan shook his head and left with the two women. He had already countered Moon-Worship's first move; next, he would see what Moon-Worship's next move was.

"Brother Lin Fan, look, dandelions. It's a pity they are white. I still remember the red dandelions I once saw; they were truly beautiful!"

Lin Fan continued on the road with the two women. When passing through a country path, they saw a patch of white dandelions. Zhao Zhao Linger said to Lin Fan in surprise, and then happily ran into the dandelion patch to run around wantonly.

"Stinky guy, are there really red dandelions in this world? How come I've never even heard of them?"

Hearing that Lin Fan and Zhao Zhao Linger had experienced such a beautiful scene together, Lin Yueru couldn't help but look at Lin Fan with envy and curiosity.

"There are. But the red dandelions Zhao Linger saw were the last red dandelions in this world. From now on, red dandelions will never appear again, because I won't allow it!"

Lin Fan was silent for a while, then looked at Zhao Zhao Linger, who was running happily in the dandelion patch, and said in a deep voice.

"Ah? Why?"

Lin Yueru was stunned. Would the red dandelions Zhao Linger spoke of never appear again? She had wanted to see them with Lin Fan again.

"Because that is a scene that only appears after a descendant of Nuwa passes away. The red dandelion rain is a sign that even heaven and earth are grieving. Zhao Linger is a descendant of Nuwa, and I absolutely will not allow anything to happen to her, so red dandelions will never appear again."

"Then the time you experienced the dandelions before..."

"It was Qing'er, Zhao Linger's mother. She sacrificed herself to suppress the Water Demon Beast released by Moon-Worship. After she sacrificed herself, the sky was filled with countless red dandelions; that was the mourning of heaven and earth!"

Mentioning the past, Lin Fan still felt some lingering regret. If he had had his current strength before, Qing'er wouldn't have died.

"Stinky guy, you..."

Seeing Lin Fan's ugly expression, Lin Yueru wanted to comfort him but didn't know what to say.

"It's fine. Now I have enough strength, so I won't repeat the same mistakes. When I advance further in the future, I will even resurrect Qing'er to make up for the regrets."

However, Lin Fan didn't need anyone's comfort. He was once the invincible Heavenly Secret Young Master in the comprehensive martial arts world; even in this immortal martial world, he was destined to grow to be invincible in the world.

"Brother Lin Fan, do you think I will see the red dandelion rain again?"

Zhao Zhao Linger ran to Lin Fan's side and asked with anticipation.

"No. But there are too many beautiful scenes in this world waiting for Zhao Linger to discover. Those scenes are even more beautiful and spectacular than red dandelions. I will take you to witness them one by one, okay?"

Lin Fan shook his head. Seeing Zhao Zhao Linger somewhat disappointed, he added another sentence.

"Okay, wherever Brother Lin Fan goes, Zhao Linger goes!"

Zhao Zhao Linger held Lin Fan's arm and smiled happily.

"Stinky guy, there's also me. I'm going too, don't you think about shaking me off!"

Lin Yueru hurriedly grabbed Lin Fan's other arm to remind him.

"You? Then I'll have to consider it!"

"You still have to consider it? I'll kill you!"

"Zhao Linger, run!"

"Hahaha!"

In the countryside, the three of them—one chasing and two fleeing—formed a beautiful landscape.
