Chapter 196: Chief Lin, What Exactly Did He See in the Inner Demons?
Lin Langyue wanted to find a hole in the ground.
She had thought that Li Ran was unconscious, which was why she had dared to reveal her true feelings. However, she was heard by the other party word by word!
Recalling what she had just said, she buried her face in the pillow like an ostrich.
"I really don't have the face to see anyone this time!"
Li Ran looked at her with amusement.
He had indeed fainted before, but it wasn't because his soul had been heavily injured. It was because he had absorbed too much soulforce from the Death End Grounds that his sea of consciousness was unable to contain it.
To put it simply, he was holding on.
His sea of consciousness was filled with boundless soul power. The little person in his dantian was operating day and night, refining his soul power strand by strand, nourishing and sharpening his soul.
Not long after Lin Langyue had entered, the little guy had finally refined a portion of the soul power, and his soul had a chance to breathe.
Only then did he gradually wake up.
In the end, before he could open his eyes, he heard the little girl's crying confession.
As she spoke, she was even lying beside him.
Li Ran looked at her curiously, "So what did you just say?"
"I didn't say anything. You heard wrong!"
Lin Langyue's face was covered in a pillow as she spoke in a muffled voice.
Li Ran scratched his head. "Then why are you lying beside me? This isn't an illusion, is it?"
"I, I just want to try this bed. Is there a problem?" Lin Langyue snorted.
"Oh." Li Ran couldn't help but laugh, "Of course not. How does Chief Lin feel?"
Lin Langyue's face turned red as she said, "I don't feel well at all. It's almost unbearable."
Li Ran suppressed his laughter and said, "I think in the future, you should stop calling yourself the cuckoo and call yourself the woodpecker."
"Why?"
"Because you're stubborn."
Lin Langyue's fair face was as red as blood. "Sheng Zi Li, you haven' t changed at all. You're still mean!"
This person had teased her in the secret room and nicknamed her "cuckoo".
Now, she had become a woodpecker.
Li Ran smiled and said, "Even though you know that I'm a bad person, you still dare to think of me as the Heavenly Dao?"
"How did you know?" Lin Langyue looked at him in surprise.
Aside from herself and her master, there was no other person who knew about this.
"Daoist Yi told me,' Li Ran explained the matter briefly.
After hearing this, Lin Langyue nodded. "No wonder my inner demon was forcefully stripped, but my Dao heart is still stable. I see."
In a certain sense, Li Ran was the symbol of the Heavenly Dao to her.
Coupled with the Great Heart Cleansing Curse of Tianshu Institute, it was as if the sound of the Great Dao could be heard. Even her Dao Heart that was on the verge of collapse could be stabilized.
Li Ran asked curiously, "Oh right, what exactly did you see in the Heart Demon Illusion Realm? You were actually trapped for so long?"
Lin Langyue turned around and said, "I won't tell you…"
Her cute ears quickly turned red. She was clearly extremely shy.
Li Ran raised his eyebrows. "You didn't see me, right?"
"Dang, of course not!
"Why are you so narcissistic? I didn't see you!"
Although she said this, her confidence was extremely lacking.
"Alright." Seeing that she was too shy, Li Ran did not ask any further.
He changed to a comfortable position and said, "If Chief Lin doesn't have anything to do, just lie down with me for a while."
"Ah?"
Lin Langyue lowered her head and bit her lips. "How can I sleep in the same bed as you?"
After saying that, she waited for a long time but didn't respond.
Turning her head, she saw that Li Ran's breathing was steady as if he had fallen asleep.
Looking at his pale face, Lin Langyue's eyes flickered with warmth.
"He doesn't know Tianshu Institute's mental techniques. It should be very difficult to fight against Inner Demons, right? Otherwise, his soul wouldn't have been damaged."
She hesitated for a moment, then her face flushed red as she crawled into Li Ran's embrace. She rested her head on his strong arm and her ears on his chest.
"It's just lying down for a while. It's not the first time anyway…"
Hearing that strong and powerful voice, her mind gradually calmed down, filled with an indescribable sense of security.
She was already very weak, so she soon fell asleep.
Mystic Spirit Mountain…
The Supreme Dao Palace welcomed an honored guest today.
Inside the main hall, the elders stood respectfully and looked at the white figure with reverence.
Chief of Tianshu Institute, Yi Qinglan!
At this moment, she sat on the leader's seat. Her dao robe was as white as snow, her veil covering her face, and her indifferent eyes didn't ripple.
Beside her sat a black-robed man with a tough face and a deep aura.
It was the Head of the Supreme Dao Palace, Chen Yundao.
"Come, Daoist Yi, try this immortal tea. It was specially prepared for you," Chen Yundao said.
For an Emperor-level expert to make special preparations, it must be extremely precious.
The immortal tea was filled with pure spiritual qi. It was likely that any mortal who drank it would be able to cultivate and build a foundation.
However, Yi Qinglan remained unmoved. She said indifferently, "Sect Master Chen, let's go straight to the main topic. Today, you've specially called me over. What exactly is going on?"
Chen Yundao smiled and said, "Isn't it a long time since I last met Daoist Yi? I just wanted to invite you over to reminisce."
Yi Qinglan immediately stood up when she heard this. "You've seen me now. I'll take my leave."
"Wait a moment." Chen Yundao helplessly said, "Daoist Yi's personality has not changed. She's still straightforward."
Yi Qinglan shook her head and said, "Chief Chen has not changed either. He still likes to play tricks."
Chen Yundao laughed bitterly.
Every time Daoist Yi spoke, he would choke people to death…
Since that was the case, he stopped being polite and nodded. "I do have something to ask Daoist Yi."
Yi Qinglan sat back down.
Chen Yundao organized his words and said, "I heard from the Japanese that Daoist Yi did not hesitate to confront Sheng Ye just to help that Devil Sheng Zi Li Ran?"
Yi Qinglan nodded. "Yes."
Chen Yundao's brows furrowed slightly. "Li Ran is the Sheng Zi of a Devil Sect, but the Tianshu Institute is a Righteous sect. Isn't Daoist Yi cheering for the Devil Dao?"
"This poor Daoist isn't cheering for the Devil Dao, she's cheering for cultivators." Yi Qinglan didn't seem shocked when she faced the question. "Li Ran took the lead to fight against the beast tide and protect the lives of hundreds of thousands of humans. Shouldn't he receive this honor?"
Chen Yundao shook his head and said, "But no matter what, he's still a Devil."
"Devil?"
Yi Qinglan laughed coldly. "According to what I know, the disciples of the Supreme Dao Palace were present as well, yet they chose to turn around and flee when facing the beast tide.
"Li Ran has defended the bottomline of the human race. In your opinion, he is still a Devil. Then what do you call the disciples of the Supreme Dao Palace who fled without fighting?
"Bastard Dao?" As soon as these words were spoken, everyone was shocked!
