Qian Renxue Signs In In Her Embrace, Becoming Douluo's Great Villain Chapter 43

"It's dangerous for you to stay here alone. Where is your home? Come with us in a moment; I'll take you back!"

Looking at the young girl named Rui'er, Lin Fan felt a sudden surge of protective affection.

It would be such a pity if such a beautiful and adorable little girl were to become food for a soul beast!

"ROAR!"

However, the moment Lin Fan finished speaking, a heaven-shaking roar erupted from the center of the Star Dou Forest, causing the surrounding leaves to rustle and fall!

Judging by the chaotic nature of the sounds, it wasn't just one soul beast, but dozens or even more, all letting out roars, and their strength was formidable!

"Big Brother, don't worry. I have to go now. You should leave here quickly too!"

A flash of panic appeared on Rui'er's pale, pretty face. She hurriedly stood up and ran toward the center of the Star Dou Forest.

"Don't go! It's dangerous there!"

Lin Fan hurriedly grabbed her slender, delicate hand.

"Brother Lin Fan, let her go..."

Just as the two were at a stalemate, Xiao Wu stepped forward and pried Lin Fan's fingers apart. Rui'er then quickly ran into the depths of the forest, disappearing from sight in a few bounds.

"Xiao Wu, what are you doing?!"

Lin Fan was completely baffled by Xiao Wu's actions.

"Don't worry. For her, the Star Dou Forest is safer than the outside world," Xiao Wu explained.

"Safer? Why?!"

Lin Fan was utterly confused.

"Just now, when I got close to her, I instinctively felt a sense of closeness, and the speed at which my soul power circulated increased significantly!"

"It seems the Emperor Auspicious Beast has truly appeared..." Xiao Wu murmured.

"You mean the Emperor Auspicious Beast?! But why would it appear here?!"

Lin Fan was shocked. The Emperor Auspicious Beast carried the fate and future of the entire Star Dou Forest; soul beasts could cultivate several times faster just by being around it!

Such an important soul beast should have been guarded by the powerful king-level soul beasts of the Star Dou Forest. How could it appear on the outskirts and even be ambushed by a low-level soul beast?

"The Auspicious Beast looks only a few thousand years old, equivalent to a human child of five or six. She must have snuck out to play and just happened to run into us!"

"Besides, Brother Lin Fan, you have such great charm. That creature seems to have taken a liking to you!"

Xiao Wu pouted and poked Lin Fan in the chest, seemingly lamenting his luck with the ladies!

"Taken a liking to me? That can't be possible, right!?"

Lin Fan felt his head spinning. Could it be that he was really that handsome!? Not only did he have a strong attraction to human girls, but even a soul beast had fallen for him the first time they met!?

That sounded like a fantasy!

"As far as I know, the Emperor Auspicious Beast only has one chance in its life to transform into human form, and its appearance cannot be changed afterward. Haven't you noticed any special characteristics about Rui'er's appearance?!"

Hearing Xiao Wu's words, Lin Fan carefully recalled the encounter, then swept his gaze over Xiao Wu, Ning Rongrong, Zhu Zhuqing, Ye Lingling, and Dugu Yan, his expression suddenly dawning with realization!

Chapter 69: Fiery!

"Rui'er's appearance seems to be a combination of the five of you!"

Lin Fan couldn't help but exclaim!

Gathering the best features of five beauties into one person—no wonder he had been so dazed the first time he saw her!

"Hehehe, it seems my charm is indeed quite significant. To meet Lin Fan is to be captivated for a lifetime!"

Lin Fan couldn't help but laugh triumphantly!

"Don't get too cocky. Let's go! If those old monsters see that the Auspicious Beast has taken human form and find out she's infatuated with a human boy, you'll definitely be torn to shreds!"

Xiao Wu's urging shattered Lin Fan's beautiful dream.

"Alright, let's leave this place first!"

Lin Fan nodded, brought out his helicopter, tossed the Bloodthirsty Leopard Cat that Zhu Zhuqing had killed earlier onto it, and then the group flew away from the Star Dou Forest!

About a minute later, a black shadow suddenly flickered into existence at the spot where Lin Fan had been standing. It was a middle-aged man who looked to be about forty, with a gaunt figure and eyes as deep as an abyss!

He scooped up a handful of dirt from the ground and sniffed it.

"Damned human, I have memorized your scent. One day, I will tear you to pieces!"

When the helicopter returned to the Heaven Dou Imperial City, Zhu Zhuqing had already finished absorbing her fourth soul ring!

Although there had been some unexpected incidents during the trip, it had been quite successful overall!

"You all go back first; I'm going to pick up Huo Wu."

Lin Fan gave instructions to the five women and headed toward the Blazing Academy's residence.

Xiao Wu and the others, long accustomed to such things, returned to their quarters to rest; the trip to the Star Dou Forest had indeed been exhausting.

Lin Fan arrived at the rest area designated for the Blazing Fire Academy, and just as he stepped through the main gate, he ran straight into Huo Wushuang.

"Brother-in-law, what a coincidence! Where is Huo Wu?"

Lin Fan stepped forward with a smile to greet him.

"Heh, you've got some nerve, kid! To think you've already tricked my sister into your hands so quickly!"

Huo Wushuang let out a cold sneer, his fists clenched tight. His tone suggested he would love nothing more than to hack Lin Fan into a thousand pieces.

In a brother's eyes, no man was ever good enough for his sister, especially when that brother was Huo Wushuang, who suffered from an extreme case of sister-complex.

"You've got it wrong, brother-in-law. It was clearly Huo Wu who lured me to the hotel last night and did those naughty things with me. I'm the victim here, aren't I?"

Lin Fan said with a cheeky grin.

"You're courting death!"

Huo Wushuang, consumed by rage, threw a heavy punch straight at Lin Fan.

Lin Fan didn't dodge; he simply reached out, grabbed Huo Wushuang's fist, and tossed him to the side.

The latter's body flew like a cannonball, slamming into the courtyard wall with a thunderous thud.

"I'll let this slide for the sake of you being my brother-in-law, but don't blame me for being impolite if you keep acting like this!"

Lin Fan's tone turned several degrees colder.

"You brat! How dare you show your face here after bullying my daughter!"

Just then, a roar like a thunderclap echoed through the courtyard. With a sharp whistle of wind, a figure as sturdy as an ox appeared before Lin Fan.

The man was around forty years old, over two meters tall, and covered in mountain-like muscles. Every movement he made was filled with explosive power.

His hair and beard were a fiery red, and his eyes, wide as copper bells, glared at Lin Fan. He looked like a raging volcano.

"Lin Fan, run!"

"Dad, if you dare hurt him, I will no longer be your daughter from this day on!"

Huo Wu rushed out of the room in a panic and grabbed the middle-aged man.

"Sigh, I've spent over a decade raising you with such hardship, and now you want to sever our father-daughter bond for a boy you've only known for ten days!"

The man stomped his feet in frustration, but he couldn't bring himself to show any real temper toward his daughter.

He was Huo Bao, the dean of the Blazing Academy and the father of Huo Wu and Huo Wushuang.

Huo Bao's wife had passed away early, and he had raised his two children alone, doting on them excessively—especially Huo Wu, for whom his affection had reached a near-pathological level.

Once, when a Spirit Saint had lingered his gaze on Huo Wu for too long, Huo Bao had beaten the man half to death on the spot.

Having received word from Huo Wushuang that morning that Huo Wu hadn't returned all night, Huo Bao had rushed from the Blazing Academy to Heaven Dou City, leading to the current scene.

"So it is Father-in-law. Your son-in-law pays his respects!"

Facing Huo Bao's overwhelming pressure, Lin Fan remained completely calm and offered a polite bow.

"You brat, you still dare to call me Father-in-law! See if I don't beat you to death!"

Seeing his precious daughter "defiled" by a pig, Huo Bao was already fuming, and Lin Fan's words were nothing short of a provocation.

"Lin Fan, run! My dad is an 85th-level Spirit Douluo; you're no match for him!"

"I'll come find you in a few days!"

Huo Wu shouted at Lin Fan while desperately pulling on Huo Bao's arm.

"Don't worry, my love. Since Father wants to test my strength, I shall humbly oblige."

Lin Fan offered Huo Wu a gentle smile to reassure her.

"Wushuang, keep an eye on Huo Wu. I'm going to teach this brat a lesson!"

After giving the order to Huo Wushuang, Huo Bao let out a roar and charged at Lin Fan like a rhinoceros. His fist, larger than a bowl, whistled through the air with a scorching heat as he aimed a heavy blow at Lin Fan's head.

Lin Fan had no intention of retreating. He focused his spirit power into his right fist and unleashed a punch!

BOOM!

The moment they collided, a powerful energy wave mixed with scorching heat rippled outward. Lin Fan was forced to take two steps back before he could steady himself.

What a violent flame aura!

Lin Fan was secretly shocked. In terms of raw power, Huo Wu's father was far stronger than Zhao Wuji, whom he had fought previously.

Coupled with the bonus of his unique fire-attribute spirit power, if Lin Fan hadn't recently captured the hearts of Dugu Yan, Ye Lingling, and Huo Wu—thereby significantly boosting his own strength—he would have been sent flying by that single strike.

"Not bad, kid! To think you could take a punch from me. Take this!"

Compared to Lin Fan, Huo Bao was even more stunned.

He had heard from Huo Wushuang that Lin Fan had defeated the entire Blazing Academy team single-handedly without even activating his martial soul.

Huo Bao hadn't believed it at the time, but after trading blows with him, he no longer had any doubts.

Huo Bao's body, massive as a small mountain, bore down on Lin Fan relentlessly. Every attack he unleashed carried a violent force that felt like the crushing weight of Mount Tai.

Facing such a formidable opponent, Lin Fan did not retreat in the slightest. His hands transformed into dragon claws covered in cyan scales, meeting every explosive attack head-on!

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Every collision between the two was accompanied by thunderous energy explosions. Cracks appeared one after another on the hard white jade floor, and the surrounding temperature climbed steadily as they traded blows.

Huo Wushuang was stunned, and Huo Wu was equally dumbfounded.

Huo Wushuang and Huo Wu knew Huo Bao's strength all too well. As an 85th-level Soul Douluo, combined with his unique fire-attribute soul power, he could hold his own even against an 87th-level Soul Douluo!

Yet now, the two were actually trading blows back and forth. One had to remember, Lin Fan was merely a boy not yet fourteen years old!

To be able to go toe-to-toe with a Soul Douluo at only thirteen—if Lin Fan continued to grow for a few more years, the implications were simply unthinkable!

Boom!

Just as the two were dazed, a terrifying wave of soul power erupted from Huo Bao. Light shimmered beneath his feet as eight soul rings—two yellow, two purple, and four black—appeared!

Behind him, a giant energy tiger wreathed in blazing flames emerged.

This was Huo Bao's martial soul, the Blazing Red Tiger!

"I never imagined Father would be forced to manifest his martial soul," Huo Wushuang muttered, looking somewhat dazed.

"Kid, I have to admit you are a genius for forcing me to manifest my martial soul, but it ends here!"

Huo Bao's voice rang out like thunder across the courtyard. His opponent was only a thirteen-year-old boy, and the fact that he had been unable to take him down after such a long time was utterly humiliating!

Therefore, Huo Bao intended to end the fight quickly, defeating Lin Fan swiftly to salvage his reputation.

Lin Fan naturally refused to be outdone. He stomped his foot against the ground, and six terrifying soul rings—purple, purple, purple, black, black, and red—manifested. Behind him, the Primordial Ancestral Dragon roared, bringing with it a pressure that seemed to blot out the sky!
