You Don't Like Me!

Even the best-laid plans can have flaws!

Even the best-laid plans can have flaws!

He intended to scam everyone, but ended up scamming himself! How could I have forgotten about that?!

Qi Zixiao has Merit Golden Ring!

And it's two-wheeled!

Oh, Heaven, send down a bolt of lightning and strike me dead!

Huo Yuan stood there, stunned, his mind buzzing. After being enlightened, he instantly understood everything.

then...

But then other thoughts inevitably came to mind!

"In other words, this Heaven's Chosen Assembly is of no real use to me?! These Old Madmen are picking on the weak, and I'm still the weakest one."

"Furthermore, because I have already handed over the Three Lifetimes Method, they are even more convinced of Three Lifetimes Method existence, so their pressure on me will only intensify?!"

Qi Zixiao? They dare not touch her!

Purple Mansion Holy Land?

That bone is much harder than the Three Saints City. In addition, they are even more convinced that they do have the Three Lifetimes Method. Wouldn't they be even more crazy in pressuring me?

They might even gather all the Old Madmen and attack the Three Saints City?!

Isn't this like lifting a rock only to drop it on your own foot?

Not only did it bring no benefit, it actually made things worse for me. This stupid move was something I came up with?!

We lost both our wife and our army!

Holy crap!!!

Another self-taught genius, making me exclaim "Holy crap!" in my mind.

At the same time, another question came to his mind...

"Etc!"

"This isn't just losing your wife and choosing a new army; it's clearly losing Three Lifetimes Method and destroying your sacred artifact!!!"

"My Dao artifact!!!"

"A total of eight items, three of which are Top-Grade Dao Artifact, worth tens or even billions of Spirit Stone!!!"

"I...?!!!"

At that moment, he suddenly understood.

No wonder, no wonder Jiu Wu, who was so aggressive at the beginning, suddenly smiled for a moment when he saw that I had taken out those Dao artifacts.

At first, I didn't understand what was going on, but now it seems he had clearly figured it out a long time ago!

I knew all along that Qi Zixiao possessed the Merit Golden Ring, and those Old Madmen wouldn't dare to lay a hand on her. I had already guessed that I was digging my own grave...

But instead of pointing this out, he took the opportunity to swindle my Dao artifact?

This is outrageous!

What a rip-off!!!

I regret it!

It's so painful!

Huo Yuan was almost driven mad.

But... what can we do?

This was already a fait accompli, and even he could only accept it with a bewildered and helpless expression.

There is no other way.

Now, looking at these Old Madmen in front of him, whose faces he couldn't see clearly but whose mocking postures were obvious to anyone with a brain, he felt even more frustrated.

"Get out! Get out! Get out!"

"Get the Laozi out of here!"

"You want the Three Lifetimes Method? In your next life, all of you, get out!"

"Your grandma's..."

Huo Yuan burst into a tirade of curses, unable to hold back any longer.

Denying the existence of the Three Lifetimes Method? What's the point of denying it now? They've already cleverly shifted the blame to the Purple Mansion Holy Land and Qi Zixiao. Isn't that enough to prove that the Three Lifetimes Method truly exists?

If you deny it again, who will believe you?

It's better not to waste your breath and saliva.

However, these Old Madmen laughed heartily at Huo Yuan's outburst of curses, thoroughly enjoying themselves.

"This kid really dug his own hole and buried himself!"

"And he only realized it now!"

"Hahaha, this is absolutely hilarious!"

"Everyone, ignore him. He's in a bad mood right now, so it's understandable that he's swearing. Let's leave now and come back tomorrow!"

"Yes! Huo Yuan, have you thought this through? There are more and more of us Old Madmen, but our time is running out. You can keep stalling, but that doesn't mean we can wait any longer..."

"Don't make a mistake. If you wait until the day we act at all costs, it will be too late for you to regret it..."

"Get out of here, all of you!!!"

The Old Madmen's words further provoked Huo Yuan, who suddenly roared and unleashed a terrifying Divine Sense that swept across the entire Secluded Cultivation Place, instantly obliterating all the Old Madmen's soul projections...

They all deserve to die!

"Damn it, Laozi still can't leave the Three Saints City. What's the difference between this and being imprisoned?!"

"Old Madmen, they're all a bunch of Old Madmen!"

"You just Laozi! Once Laozi break through to Quasi-Emperor, Great Emperor... Laozi 'll rush out and slaughter you all!!!"

He unleashed a torrent of angry curses, the echoes reverberating throughout the vast secluded retreat, leaving no room to express his desolation...

"Well!"

In the end, all the angry curses were drowned out by a sigh of utter helplessness.

Within the Three Saints City, a large number of prodigies have not yet left.

They each had their own ideas and their own things to do.

Lin Fan, however, hid in Qi Zixiao's room and did not go out again.

Firstly, we need to travel through time again tomorrow morning, so there's not much time left. Secondly... should we go out now?

They were to be dragged to the fighting area and onto the stage by Ji Chutong or Du Chuan and others.

Since that's the case...

Why bother?!

Wouldn't it be better to just play a few rounds of mahjong on your phone?

As he played, this guy actually rested his head on Qi Zixiao's lap...

Qi Zixiao rolled her eyes countless times, but because she was in a good mood and was refining the Heavenly Seal (a replica), she didn't push the guy away.

then...

This guy is really enjoying himself.

Resting her head on her jade-like legs, she leisurely played mahjong, dominating the game.

Even though there were clothes between them, the feeling still secretly pleased him.

But this kind of thing can't be shown, because if it is... that would be bad!

"Oh, right."

Suddenly, Qi Zixiao spoke softly, "Tell me, does the true Three Lifetimes Method really exist?"

"It's hard to say."

Lin Fan casually replied, "I don't know much about Huo Yuan either. I know nothing about his character, so it's hard to say what he's like."

"However... the probability is probably not high, or perhaps it is true, but Huo Yuan doesn't know?"

"Then, if it really exists, where would it be?"

"How would I know?"

Lin Fan drew a Four of Bamboo, then won a self-drawn winning tile, and couldn't help but smile broadly, "But if you ask me, if it really exists, it should be related to those three statues."

"Statue?"

After a moment of contemplation, Qi Zixiao's eyes lit up.

What was said without malice may have been taken to heart by the listener.

In the center of the Three Saints City stands three enormous statues: Old Man, Old Woman, and a child... each representing one of the three founders of the Three Saints City.

If there truly is Three Lifetimes Method, and even Huo Yuan and the successive city lords are unaware of it, then it is likely that it is hidden within it.

After all, each city lord only lived one lifetime, which doesn't seem like they could perform the Three Lifetimes Method.

It's too difficult, I can't learn it?

That's possible, but how many generations of city lords have there been? And not a single one has learned it? That doesn't make sense.

As for those Old Madmen being so certain...

Rather than being certain, it's more accurate to say they didn't want to give up their hope of survival; they were simply being stubborn.

"I need to go and think about it near that statue!"

Her sudden words made Lin Fan's heart skip a beat. "I was just saying it offhand..."

"However, based on my experience reading novels, those three statues are definitely not just for show!"

"It's worth exploring!"

"..."

Lin Fan blinked, somewhat speechless.

He really was just saying it offhand!

But Qi Zixiao actually took it seriously...

Now, it's really difficult to persuade her, because there doesn't seem to be any good reason to tell her not to go.

"Should I go instead?"

"No way!"

Qi Zixiao shook his head repeatedly. "I cannot be harmed!"

This moment.

The two looked at each other.

Lin Fan rested his head on her jade-like legs, and she looked down at him, their eyes meeting.

This perspective often reveals a woman's 'ugliest' side, but Qi Zixiao remained beautiful. In fact, this angle gave her a somewhat 'fresh' look, making this guy stare at her for a few more seconds...

That's true.

Lin Fan finally nodded.

Firstly, the original body is indeed much more important to Qi Zixiao. Secondly, if something happens to the original body, can she still continue to switch bodies with her?

This is something you can't gamble on!

"Go now?"

"No, I'll wait until the real person returns before I go!"

Qi Zixiao slowly shook her head. "You don't have much time. If you suddenly travel through time at a crucial moment, you might mess things up."

"You despise me!"

"Yeah, I just don't like you, so what?"

"..."

"Heartbroken," the man sighed.

Earth.

When Lin Fan returned, he immediately checked Lin·Purple Firmament's message.

He was somewhat bewildered after learning everything about the zombies.

"Zombies, protect me? What the heck?!"

"According to our Saintess's guess, it might be an existence from thousands of years ago or even earlier that foresaw some things that would happen in the future. Because I am important, or because that zombie is related to me, it protects me?"

"Could she be the woman I saw on the Three Lives Stone, the one who Time River? Perhaps she came here to protect me?"

"This is just too... chaotic."

He frowned. It was a tangled mess, and he knew far too little about these things to figure out the specific reasons.

What exactly is Earth hiding?

"This is too mysterious."

He shook his head repeatedly. "Hopefully, we can find some answers in places like Kunlun later."

"However, the fact that they actually managed to forge Top-Grade Spiritual Artifact is quite impressive."

With a thought, the shield and axe appeared from his Dantian and fell into Lin Fan's hand...

The powerful and imposing shield-axe doesn't quite fit the typical cultivator's image of a weapon, but...

Lin Fan is a modern person, and as a seasoned anime and manga enthusiast, he has watched and read a lot of games and anime.

I am not only familiar with the Charge Blade, but I also really like it.

"Shall I name it?"

Lin Fan stroked his chin. "Storm Axe? It doesn't seem quite right..."

"Little tiger?"

"Hmm, this name seems a bit too cute. How can I, a dignified eight-foot-tall man with a magnificent appearance, use such an adorable name?"

"Or..."

"The Fanxiao Axe!"

Many names flashed through his mind, Lin Fan finally settled on the name Fanxiao Axe. Of course, calling it Fanxiao Shield Axe would also be appropriate.

After all, this was forged from my own physical body and the consciousness of our Saintess, wasn't it?

Naming him Fanxiao is perfectly fine.
