"Hehe..." Dugu Yan grinned happily.
Lin Chuan's heart softened, and he tightened his grip on the two women.
"Now that Lingling has absorbed the spirit ring, we should continue on our way!"
They had already been here for half a day, and it was time to continue their journey to the Temple of the Earth.
"Wait, let's bring this along too!"
Suddenly, Lin Chuan thought of something and quickly stepped forward to dig the withered and dying 100,000-year-old Tree of Life out of the soil.
However, the fragile tree trunk turned to dust the moment it left the soil.
"This..." Lin Chuan couldn't help but be a little stunned.
However, in the very spot where it originally grew, a green seed lies quietly in the soil.
"Sure enough!"
Lin Chuan smiled slightly, picked up the tree seed, and handed it to Ye Lingling.
"This is a seed from the 100,000-year-old Tree of Life. Lingling, keep it safe. Plant it when you go to the God Realm in the future, and use it as a medium to revive it."
Upon hearing this, Ye Lingling solemnly accepted the tree seed and nodded vigorously.
Since we have gained such great benefits, we must not go back on our word.
Ten days later, the three finally arrived at the Temple of the Earth.
Lin Chuan and Ye Lingling did not follow them inside, but watched Dugu Yan disappear into the stone forest.
"Lingling, it's time for us to go back to Snowfield City!"
The Wind and Thunder Wings instantly appeared, and Lin Chuan reached out and embraced Ye Lingling's slender waist. The two of them instantly took to the air, turning into phantoms and heading towards the direction of the Heavenly Dou Empire.
Its wings flapped behind it, occasionally accompanied by the roar of thunder and hurricane.
Using the Wind and Thunder Wings for flight, the soul power consumed was more than enough for Lin Chuan to handle, even if he flew all the way from the north of the Heaven Dou Empire to the southernmost tip of the Star Luo Empire.
By the time the two arrived at Snowfield City, it was getting dark.
It fell directly from the sky with the force of wind and thunder, and such a great spectacle naturally alarmed the others in the manor.
"who?!"
Two figures suddenly rose into the air, surrounding Lin Chuan and Ye Lingling from the left and right.
However, after seeing who it was, they breathed a sigh of relief and slowly landed on the ground.
"Hey Lin, can you stop being so scary every time you come back?" Dugu Bo couldn't help but complain.
He's already this old, he can't handle such a sudden shock.
"I'm so sorry, I'll be more careful next time," Lin Chuan quickly assured him.
Shui Lanxin waved to the people who had gathered, telling them to go about their business, before turning to look at Lin Chuan.
"You little rascal, you really know how to get me into trouble!"
"Let's go back to our room first!"
The four of them quickly returned to the backyard.
"Thank you, Dean!" Lin Chuan took the tea that Shui Lanxin handed him and took a small sip.
After a brief period of bitterness comes an unforgettable sweetness.
"You're back so quickly this time. Have Bing'er and the others already arrived at Seagod Island?"
Lin Chuan nodded, "The journey went relatively smoothly. The eight of them have stayed on Seagod Island to participate in the trials, and Bing'er has also successfully passed the Nine Trials of the Seagod. As long as she passes them and her soul power breaks through level 100, she can inherit the Seagod's position. However, she probably won't be able to come back for the next few years."
"That's wonderful! Let them stay on Poseidon Island and cultivate properly. We old folks can hold out for a while longer!"
Shui Lanxin smiled sweetly, genuinely happy.
Previously, I envied Ye Lingling and Dugu Yan for obtaining divine inheritance, while only the Shui family and Tianshui Academy received nothing. Now that Shui Bing'er is also favored by the gods, I no longer need to envy others.
"Dean Shui is just joking. You're not an old man at all. You're in your prime and still have plenty of charm!"
Lin Chuan couldn't help but chuckle mischievously.
This teasing immediately drew a reproachful glare from Shui Lanxin.
This little guy is getting bolder and bolder; he even dares to tease her!
“Senior Dugu, Yanzi has already returned to the Earth God Temple to continue her trials. Lingling and I personally escorted her there before returning. Besides, no one can enter that place, so you don’t need to worry about Yanzi’s safety.”
Upon hearing this, Dugu Bo's expression softened, and he nodded slightly.
"What about you and Lingling? Are you also leaving to continue the trials?"
Lin Chuan immediately shook his head, "Lingling's next test is to improve her soul power level, so she doesn't need to return to the Temple of Life for the time being. Let her stay in Snowfield City for now!"
"That's great, having you here makes things much easier for me."
Shui Lanxin smiled and silently breathed a sigh of relief.
"Uh..." Lin Chuan smiled awkwardly, "I'm afraid that won't work. I need to focus on my cultivation to prepare for future crises, so I'll have to rely on you, Dean, for the affairs of the territory."
"We've been traveling for several days and we're quite tired, so Lingling and I will go back to rest first."
Without waiting for Shui Lanxin to speak, Lin Chuan quickly grabbed Ye Lingling and ran towards the room at top speed.
"That bastard is really despicable! We really fell for his trick!"
Coming to her senses, Shui Lanxin was so angry that she felt a burning desire to bite her.
However, she was just grumbling. Even if time could be reversed back to the past, she would probably still make the same choice.
After all, if it weren't for Lin Chuan, Shui Lanxin wouldn't have been able to become a Title Douluo so quickly, let alone gain the Sea God's approval for Shui Bing'er!
Almost all of this was given by Lin Chuan. Compared to that, merely handling some affairs was not even worthy of being considered a reward.
Even though she is a titled Douluo, Lin Chuan's current strength far surpasses hers.
The only thing we can do now is help handle the affairs within the territory!
Chapter 187 From This Day On, I Will Quit Drinking
"Phew... Luckily I ran fast, otherwise the dean would have really said he was going to quit."
After fleeing in a hurry, Lin Chuan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Ye Lingling, who had been pulled back by him, immediately covered her face and chuckled, "Shouldn't you be the one giving up, Brother Chuan?"
"What are you saying? I was just trying to cultivate. Besides, I trust the Dean's abilities, so the capable should do more."
Lin Chuan shamelessly forced an explanation.
However, these words only elicited an even brighter smile from Ye Lingling.
Lin Chuan was getting a little embarrassed by Ye Lingling's constant mockery. He pretended to be furious, pulled the girl into his arms, and lowered his head to kiss her again.
"Well……"
Caught off guard, the girl's cheeks visibly flushed red.
Her soft, boneless hands pushed against Lin Chuan's chest, but because all her strength seemed to have been completely drained, it didn't feel like a push at all; instead, it had a hint of wanting to resist.
Lin Chuan finally released Ye Lingling just as she was about to suffocate.
"Whoosh-"
The girl was breathing heavily and couldn't help but give him a reproachful look.
However, it was this subconscious action that gave the usually quiet and aloof girl a touch of captivating charm.
Lin Chuan's gaze suddenly turned fiery, as if a flame was burning in his chest.
He put one arm around Ye Lingling's back, bent down and picked her up.
"Ah!" The girl was startled by the sudden movement. She looked up and met those fiery eyes. Her heart skipped a beat, and she had obviously guessed what was going on.
In an instant, Ye Lingling's entire face turned as red as blood.
The girl immediately buried her head in Lin Chuan's arms without making a sound, clearly indicating her tacit consent.
Seeing this, Lin Chuan naturally did not hesitate any longer, and returned to the room with the beauty in his arms.
Night fell quietly, and a strange, subtle sound slowly rose from the room, as if someone were being tortured.
I don’t know how much time passed.
"I'm so exhausted!"
After finishing her business, Shui Lanxin walked towards her room.
Just as I was about to push the door open, I caught a sound like the low growl of a wild cat.
"What's that sound?" Shui Lanxin frowned slightly, subconsciously searching for the source of the sound, and finally determined that it was coming from a room not far away.
"That sounds like Xiaochuan's house, and that sound seems to be Lingling..."
