Just then, the tent flap suddenly swung open. Bright sunlight streamed inside, and all three of them froze on the spot!
"You..."
Ye Lingling looked at Dugu Yan and Lin Fan, her face red as a ripe apple. Yet she didn't turn and leave!
"Sister Yanyan, how's the poison in your body?!"
Ye Lingling asked, stumbling over her words.
"Lin Fan says... it can be completely removed today. And I'm certain now—he's the man I want to rely on for the rest of my life..."
Dugu Yan hesitated before voicing what was in her heart. Compared to Yu Tianheng, Lin Fan was worlds apart from him, whether in how much he cared for her, his own strength, or his cultivation talent!
Any woman with an IQ above five would know what to choose!
"Then... now that Sister Yanyan has someone, will she stop wanting me...?"
Ye Lingling bit her lip, her words tinged with a heartrending grievance.
"How could I? No matter where I am, as long as you're willing to stay with me, I'll never leave you behind!"
Dugu Yan replied hurriedly. She treasured the sisterly bond between her and Ye Lingling!
"Lin Fan, Lingling has been by my side since she was ten. I treat her like my own little sister, and I wouldn't trust her to any other man!"
"Could you... could you let her stay by your side like me? Just think of it as my selfish decision..."
Dugu Yan stared at Lin Fan and spoke with some difficulty!
"Of course!"
Lin Fan was taken aback at first, then his heart surged with delight!
Originally, he'd planned to use Dugu Yan to deepen his relationship with Ye Lingling once he'd won her over. He hadn't expected to get both of them in one fell swoop!
"Lingling, what do you think?"
Now that they'd laid everything out, the three of them could speak frankly. There was no need to hold back!
"I... I'm willing... Sister Yanyan is everything to me. As long as you can cure her, my life is yours!"
Ye Lingling bit her lip. Her voice was small, but her words were resolute!
"Good. Don't worry. Once you're my women, even if the Heavenly King himself came, he wouldn't lay a finger on you—let alone this mere Jade Phosphorous Serpent Poison!"
"Come on, Lingling. Let's cure Yanyan together. With you helping, we'll get twice the result with half the effort!"
Lin Fan smiled faintly. As Ye Lingling cried out in surprise, he wrapped an arm around her slender waist and carried her straight into the tent!
As time passed, three hours slipped away before they knew it. Beneath the evening sun, Lin Fan sat on a small hillside, with Dugu Yan to his left and Ye Lingling to his right!
The two women leaned quietly against his shoulders. The sunset bathed their lovely, bashful, smiling faces in its fading glow, making them all the more intoxicating!
Chapter 59: A Huge Increase!
"Yanyan, how do you feel?"
Lin Fan turned to ask.
"I've never felt this happy in my life. My meridians feel clear, and my whole body feels indescribably comfortable and at ease! My Soul Power has also gone up four levels. I'm a level 42 Soul Ancestor now!"
Dugu Yan said, her face full of bliss. After Lin Fan cured her, she felt as if she'd been reborn. It was a feeling beyond words!
"What about you, Lingling?"
"I... I feel so happy too. Every moment with you and Sister Yanyan feels so wonderful it hardly seems real. My Soul Power has gone up four levels as well..."
Ye Lingling held Lin Fan's arm and spoke softly, her voice like a murmur from a dream!
"Congratulations, Master, on completing the mission to win over Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling. Soul Power Level increased by 6. Reward: S-rank technique, Lightning Five-Chain Whip. Reward: 10 Ten Thousand Year Soul Bones of your choice!"
Just then, Daji's notification rang in Lin Fan's mind, filling him with wild delight!
Host: Lin Fan Martial Soul: Primordial Ancestral Dragon Level: 67 Soul Rings: Purple, Purple, Purple, Black, Black, Red Harem: Xiao Wu, Zhu Zhuqing, Ye Lingling, Dugu Yan Villain Points: 100,000 Skills: Lingbo Microsteps, Azure Heaven Dragon Transformation Art, Lightning Five-Chain Whip
He hadn't expected the rewards to be so generous. Going from level 61 to 67 would take even a genius Soul Master at least three to five years, yet Lin Fan had managed it in just a few hours!
And the System had given him ten Ten Thousand Year Soul Bones and an S-rank technique in one go. This was incredible!
"As for the Soul Bones... I'll wait until I get ones with a higher age before absorbing them!"
Lin Fan considered it. Ten Thousand Year Soul Bones were rare, but how could he be satisfied with those? He had only six Soul Bone slots in his body. If he was going to fill them, they'd have to be at least a hundred thousand years old!
"Master, there's no need to worry. You can exchange for a Soul Bone Expander in the System Mall. Each one costs 1,000 Villain Points and gives you an additional Soul Bone slot. A person has 206 bones in their body, which means you can expand your Soul Bone capacity to a maximum of 206!"
"Moreover, the Soul Bones in your body can all be removed freely. You can also upgrade their age by completing missions or exchanging Villain Points!"
"However, absorbing Soul Bones will only improve your attributes, such as strength, defense, speed, and mental power. It won't grant you Soul Bone Skills!"
At that moment, Daji's voice sounded in his mind. Lin Fan hurried to the System Mall to check, and sure enough, there were Soul Bone Expanders!
Without hesitation, he spent 50,000 Villain Points to buy 50 additional Soul Bone slots!
Then he absorbed all ten of the Ten Thousand Year Soul Bones he'd obtained into his body!
In that instant, Lin Fan felt a tremendous increase in his strength, speed, and defense!
"Hahaha, this feels amazing!"
Lin Fan couldn't help laughing aloud, his spirits soaring. He'd made quite a haul today!
"By the way, Lin Fan, I was poisoned because of my Jade Scale Serpent Emperor Martial Soul. Does that mean my grandfather's poison is even worse?!"
Just then, Dugu Yan seemed to think of something. She grabbed Lin Fan and asked anxiously!
"Mm, that's probably it. But your grandfather is powerful, so his life shouldn't be in danger anytime soon..."
Lin Fan thought it over before answering.
"Then... can we go see my grandfather tomorrow? Please help him get rid of the poison. I don't want anything to happen to him!"
Dugu Yan looked worried, her eyes growing slightly red around the edges!
She'd lost her parents when she was young. Dugu Bo was her only family!
"Uh... all right!"
Lin Fan felt a headache coming on. There was no way he could cure Dugu Bo the same way he'd cured Dugu Yan, using those intimate methods!
Even if Lin Fan didn't mind, the old man would probably slap him to death!
That left him with no choice but to place both hands on Dugu Bo's back and slowly draw the poison out!
"Thank you..."
Dugu Yan's tears turned to laughter. She wrapped both arms tightly around Lin Fan and murmured.
"You're already my woman. Your grandfather is my grandfather too, so what's there to thank me for?"
Lin Fan gently wiped away the tear at the corner of Dugu Yan's eye. Thinking back on their cultivation earlier, he still felt reluctant to leave it behind.
There was no need to say anything about Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling's looks. Like Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing, they were both top-tier beauties!
They said a woman's waist was a blade that could steal a man's life, and Dugu Yan embodied that perfectly. Her waist was soft yet supple, like a water snake, and Lin Fan couldn't get enough of her!
Ye Lingling was naturally shy and reserved, and as a support Soul Master, she had a fragile, delicate air that made people want to protect her. Especially when they were cultivating: the way her brows furrowed and her lips tightened from shyness and pain made Lin Fan want to lavish her with affection!
The sun had set by the time Lin Fan brought the two women back to the hotel.
"Ah, two little lambs have fallen into the big bad wolf's clutches again!"
When Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing saw Lin Fan return with an arm around each woman, they guessed the outcome at once. Now that their sisterhood had grown to four, they wouldn't have to worry about having too few players for mahjong!
"What, are you two little lambs getting itchy?"
Lin Fan raised an eyebrow. Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing were seriously taking him too lightly!
"Hehe, you big bad wolf just devoured two little lambs. Do you still have any appetite—or strength—left?"
Xiao Wu looked utterly unafraid and even stuck her tongue out at Lin Fan!
"You'll find out soon enough whether I've got any strength left!"
Lin Fan smiled faintly and pounced straight at Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing!
Early the next morning, after an arduous battle that had lasted through the afternoon and the whole night, Lin Fan was still full of energy!
His physical strength and stamina had already far surpassed ordinary people's thanks to the Primordial Ancestral Dragon. On top of that, the Azure Heaven Dragon Transformation Art had strengthened him, and he'd absorbed ten Ten Thousand Year Soul Bones. He was perfectly fine; Xiao Wu, Zhu Zhuqing, Dugu Yan, and Ye Lingling, however, had been utterly worn out.
After breakfast, Lin Fan and Dugu Yan left the hotel to find Dugu Bo.
Since it was Dugu Yan's first time cultivating with him the night before, she had trouble walking, so Lin Fan carried her out of the hotel in his arms!
"Grandpa should be in that cave in the Sunset Forest. It's a long way from here. You're not going to carry me the whole way, are you?"
Dugu Yan buried her head in Lin Fan's arms and asked shyly.
The stronger and colder a woman seemed on the outside, the more docile and bashful she became once she'd given her heart and body to the man she loved!
Dugu Yan embodied this perfectly.
"I didn't know our Yanyan was so shy. It's all right, I've got this. Once we're up in the sky, no one will bother us!"
Lin Fan smiled faintly and took the Helicopter he'd bought earlier out of his System Space. As Dugu Yan cried out in surprise, they reached an altitude of several hundred meters within seconds and sped toward the Sunset Forest!
"Wow, this thing is amazing!"
Looking at the scenery shrinking rapidly below them, Dugu Yan covered her lips with her jade-white hand, her little face full of shock!
"Hehe, now nobody can bother us."
Lin Fan switched the Helicopter to autopilot and spoke with a lecherous grin as he held Dugu Yan.
Chapter 60: The Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well
A Helicopter swept across the sky. No one could guess what sort of intoxicating springtime scene was unfolding inside!
"All right... Lin Fan... we're almost there..."
Dugu Yan lay against Lin Fan, her breath sweet as orchids and her face flushed. The scenery below showed they were nearly at their destination.
"All right!"
Lin Fan answered and increased the throttle. The Helicopter quickly closed in on its destination!
After finding a clearing in the forest and landing, Lin Fan led Dugu Yan out by the hand!
Dugu Yan gently patted her burning, flushed cheeks and carefully straightened her clothes. Only then did she lead Lin Fan to the cave entrance!
Dugu Bo had set up a barrier around the area. Ordinary people passing by wouldn't even notice it, but Dugu Yan was clearly a regular here. She led Lin Fan inside without hindrance!
After they passed through a long, narrow passage, the view opened up before them. Even Lin Fan couldn't help admiring it!
It was like a paradise hidden away from the world. Strange rocks and exotic flowers and plants filled the area, and birds and butterflies flitted past now and then...
The most extraordinary sight was the expanse in the middle. The ground on the left was dark red, and the air was thick with intense fire-element energy, carrying a wild, scorching heat!
The right half looked like a frozen world. Ice crystals encased the ground, and misty cold vapor drifted around it like something out of a fairyland!
All sorts of flowers and plants grew on both sides, filling the entire space with a medicinal fragrance that cleared the mind!
"Could this... be the legendary Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well?!"
The sight left Lin Fan deeply shaken. Seeing it with his own eyes was worlds apart from merely imagining it through written descriptions!
"Master, this is indeed the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well. Many of the Immortal Herbs here can change a person's constitution and raise their Soul Power Level!"
"And there are herbs here that can cure Dugu Bo's Jade Scale Serpent Poison!"
At that moment, Daji's voice sounded in his mind.
"Fantastic!"
