Chapter 625: Flower-Shedding Palace

"I see you've been brainwashed by Lin Fan. I only know that those who submit to me prosper, and those who resist perish. What right do the weak have to choose? But since Lin Fan is the husband I chose, I can only listen to him!"

Yaoyue shook her head helplessly. The husband she chose—she would have to stick with him, even if she had to do so through tears.

"You seem quite dissatisfied with me. Come, let me see the domineering spirit of Palace Master Yaoyue?"

Lin Fan reached out and grabbed her, and Yaoyue found herself lying in his arms. She felt a bit bashful and was just about to break free when a passionate kiss from Lin Fan left her mind blank.

That's right, even the domineering Yaoyue was a romantic at heart. She intoxicatedly enjoyed Lin Fan's kiss until Xiaozhao curiously leaned her head in to get a better look at her.

"You're dead!"

Yaoyue bit Lin Fan's lip hard. Fortunately, Lin Fan's Dragon God Art had reached perfection, making his skin tough and thick; otherwise, he would surely have bled.

"Women, you are truly creatures who say one thing while meaning another. Dai Qisi, would you like to try it?"

Lin Fan looked with interest at Dai Qisi, who was pretending to be calm but whose eyes were darting around everywhere.

"Xiaozhao is here, don't say such things!"

Dai Qisi hurriedly stopped Lin Fan from uttering such tiger-and-wolf words, lest he corrupt Xiaozhao.

"Do you mean it would be fine if Xiaozhao weren't here?"

"That is not what I meant! Don't twist other people's words!"

Dai Qisi was on the verge of a breakdown. Why was Lin Fan making such wild associations? She had only wanted him to mind his influence, yet he thought she was playing hard to get.

"Alright, I won't tease you anymore!"

Lin Fan curled his lips, then lay down on Wuqing's lap and closed his eyes to rest.

Xiaozhao looked at Lin Fan, then at Dai Qisi, wearing a thoughtful expression.

"Husband, we've arrived at Flower-Shedding Palace. Stop sleeping for a moment!"

Lin Fan didn't know how long he had slept, but he was suddenly shaken awake by Lian Xing.

"Mm, you go gather the disciples and announce this matter!"

Lin Fan ordered the crane to descend. At this moment, the disciples of Flower-Shedding Palace noticed the descending crane, so under the leadership of Hua Yuelu, they held their long swords and stood in battle formation, staring at the crane.

"You don't even recognize this Palace Master anymore?"

Yaoyue's majestic voice rang out from the crane's back, and the disciples of Flower-Shedding Palace reflexively knelt to pay their respects.

"Greetings to the First Palace Master and Second Palace Master!"

Hua Yuelu also saw Yaoyue and Lian Xing on the crane's back and hurriedly knelt as well.

"Blind and ignorant! This is my man, Master Tianji. You should have greeted him first, then greeted me!"

Yaoyue did not give them a pleasant look despite the disciples' respect; instead, she rebuked them with a cold face.

"Greetings to Master Tianji, greetings to the First Palace Master and Second Palace Master!"

Hua Yuelu and the others hurriedly shouted again.

"Yue'er, those who don't know are not guilty. Don't be so harsh!"

Lin Fan flew down while holding Yaoyue's waist and even put in a good word for the Flower-Shedding Palace disciples, as some of them would eventually become his handmaidens.

"Since my husband is pleading for you today, I will spare you this once. This time, my husband and I have returned to move Flower-Shedding Palace. If any of you do not intend to leave with this Palace Master, you may leave now!"

Yaoyue coldly swept her gaze over the women of Flower-Shedding Palace and then asked.

Lin Fan couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly. How could any disciple dare to leave after being asked like that?

"We swear to follow the Palace Master to the death!"

"We swear to follow the Palace Master to the death!"

……

Hua Yuelu led the shouting, and the other Flower-Shedding Palace disciples followed suit. Yaoyue nodded in satisfaction and then looked triumphantly at Lin Fan, which made Lin Fan unable to resist giving her bottom a slap.

"Today, I intend to use magic to take the entire Flower-Shedding Palace away. Those who leave with us will not only leave the Great Ming Dynasty forever, but may even leave this world forever. I am Yaoyue's husband, and I promise here that if anyone is unwilling to follow us, you may leave Flower-Shedding Palace now. I guarantee that Yaoyue will not settle scores later. Today is a rare opportunity; if you don't leave Flower-Shedding Palace now, you won't have the chance later!"

Lin Fan still gave the people of Flower-Shedding Palace a chance to choose. Upon hearing this, the expressions of the vast majority of the disciples remained unchanged, clearly having already made up their minds.

As for the rest, they all looked at one another, clearly wanting to leave, but thinking of Yaoyue's cruel methods, they felt lingering fear and no one dared to stand up and challenge Yaoyue's authority.

"Alright, you may go!"

Yaoyue also saw that these hesitant disciples didn't actually want to continue following her. According to her temper, she would have killed them all; in her eyes, this was betrayal, and all who betrayed her had to die.

But since Lin Fan didn't like it, then so be it. After all, even if the lives of these people were added together, it wouldn't be worth her husband frowning once.

With Yaoyue's personal promise, these disciples felt a sense of relief, kowtowed to bid Yaoyue farewell, and left Flower-Shedding Palace.

"Not bad. Out of nearly a hundred disciples, seventy-two chose to stay. It seems you aren't as unpopular as I imagined!"

Lin Fan whispered into Yaoyue's ear.

"They are all ungrateful people. Back then, when they were hurt by love, it was entirely thanks to the Palace Master taking them in and avenging them. To think they would abandon the Palace Master today—they are simply worse than pigs or dogs!"

Hua Yuelu said with some indignation.

Upon hearing this, Lin Fan awkwardly rubbed his nose. How should one put it regarding Hua Yuelu? Don't you know that in the original story, it was because you eloped with Jiang Feng that Yaoyue was enraged, even adopting Hua Wuque to make Jiang Feng's son kill his own brother in the future?

"Everyone has their own fate. Their choice to leave is their choice; they will regret it in the future. As for you all, get ready. In the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, I will move Flower-Shedding Palace!"

Lin Fan didn't care about those women who left. Besides the disciples raised from childhood, Flower-Shedding Palace also had some women who had been hurt by love and stayed, and they had basically all chosen to leave.

After all, having experienced the worldly pleasures, they could never forget their past lives. It was just that they knew leaving Flower-Shedding Palace would surely mean death, which was why they had always restrained themselves.

Now that Lin Fan had given them a chance to break away from Flower-Shedding Palace, they naturally left with determination.

"Wind God's Fury!"

As the women of Flower-Shedding Palace got ready, Lin Fan unleashed the Heavenly Intent Four Symbols Art. A hundred-foot-tall phantom of the Wind God appeared out of thin air behind him, and he used the phantom to dig up the foundation of Flower-Shedding Palace.

"Rise!"

After digging up the foundation, the phantom behind Lin Fan held the entire Flower-Shedding Palace in its palm and lifted it into mid-air. Then, with a thought from Lin Fan, Flower-Shedding Palace disappeared from the Wind God's palm and was taken into Lin Fan's small world.

Next, Lin Fan concluded his cultivation, and the Wind God phantom behind him vanished accordingly.

The women who had chosen to leave Flower-Shedding Palace and had already walked several miles away discovered the earth-shattering commotion, and seeing the Flower-Shedding Palace that had been lifted into mid-air suddenly vanish, they vaguely felt as if they had missed out on a heaven-sent opportunity.

At this moment, they were filled with regret, but unfortunately, there was no regret medicine to be bought in this world; some opportunities, once missed, were gone forever!
