CHAPTER 391: CHAPTER 0388: NECESSARY TO EXECUTE ON THE SPOT

Butterfly Fairy, having obtained what she wanted, no longer wished to linger here, but she hadn’t expected the Long Family to arrive so quickly—completely beyond her expectations.

Such an item exists in Ascension City.

She learned about it by chance and had been plotting to acquire it for several months.

She had gone to the Long Family Ancestral Hall to steal it before.

However, the item would not leave with her. Even if taken away, it would disappear after a short time and return to the Long Family Ancestral Hall.

Quite astonishing.

"Let’s go, leave this place."

With the item in hand, Butterfly Fairy didn’t want to stay here anymore. As for what would happen afterward, that has nothing to do with her, as she would no longer be in the Desolate Domain.

The Dragon Family Master, seeing the person with the Dragon Essence about to leave, called out urgently, "Spare us! Please return this item to the Long Family; otherwise, thousands of lives in the Long Family will perish!"

He no longer wanted to reason with the unworthy offspring.

Instead, he hoped the other party would show mercy and return the Dragon Essence.

Their ancestors had been cursed, nearly wiped out, but later a prodigious talent emerged, sacrificing themselves to find a solution for the Long Family. That solution was the Dragon Essence. If the Dragon Essence disappeared, the Long Family would utterly perish, leaving no trace behind.

Butterfly Fairy couldn’t care less about his words; she left the place with her maid.

"No..."

The Dragon Family Master fell into utter despair.

At this moment, Lin Fan acted. He vanished from his spot, reaching out with five fingers to grab at the rippling Void.

"Miss, come on back. Some things shouldn’t be taken too far."

Boom!

The Void shook violently, as if something deep within were exploding, seemingly tearing open the Void to pull the other party out.

Swoosh!

Swoosh!

Two figures appeared.

It turned out to be Butterfly Fairy and her maid, who had just left.

Qin Yang and Xiang Fei came to Lin Fan’s side. Xiang Fei had known for a while that things weren’t as straightforward as they seemed, but he still didn’t understand what that iron ball was.

It managed to make Butterfly Fairy lower her status to come to a place like this.

However, when Xiang Fei and Qin Yang looked at Lin Fan, they were dumbfounded, because that hand seemed to be...

Butterfly Fairy felt it instantly and yelled angrily, "Where are you grabbing?!"

Lin Fan remained indifferent as if he hadn’t heard her.

Of course.

He gave it a glance. Hmm, looked like he grabbed the wrong place. Unexpectedly, his hand landed there. Possibly he made a mistake—ordinary women are around five-foot-three, but Butterfly Fairy was taller, closer to five-foot-seven.

The difference between neck and chest was a little off.

But could this really be considered "just a little off"?

To be honest.

He just wanted to touch it. He had been looking for an excuse but couldn’t find one. Now that the opportunity came, he could only follow his heart. Otherwise, internal dissatisfaction could backfire in ways like acne outbreaks at best, or coughing up blood at worst.

At this moment, Lin Fan’s hand felt fortunate—overflowingly fortunate. It seemed so happily satisfied.

Daring to dream and daring to act are necessary to fulfill one’s aspirations.

Dreaming alone won’t accomplish great things.

The Dragon Family Master clasped his hands together and said, "Thank you, friend, for your help. I ask you to make her return the Long Family’s item. We will disregard anything that happened before."

"Please."

Lin Fan replied, "I intervened for the purpose of this matter."

"Anyone unrelated, leave now."

The people who had come to compete for the Oiran were here for enjoyment, not to get dragged into conflicts. Upon seeing the present situation, they all quietly left.

None of them wanted to be involved in this kind of mess.

Soon, only Lin Fan and the others remained on-site.

The unrelated people had all departed.

Lin Fan said, "Butterfly Fairy, as the third-ranked figure on the Flower List, how could you stoop to such actions? Tricking an idiot to obtain something is your skill, but having thousands of innocent lives pay the price for it is a bit much. Hand over the item."

Off to the side, Qin Yang raised his hand and waved it up and down, wanting to say something but finding himself speechless, not knowing what to say.

He seemed stunned.

Perhaps he wanted to say, "Lighten up, lighten up, you’ll ruin the aesthetics at this rate."

Butterfly Fairy refused to respond to Lin Fan; she remained headstrong.

Lin Fan frowned, applying light pressure with his fingers. "If you don’t hand it over, I’ll crush your neck."

What the hell!

Xiang Fei and Qin Yang both stared wide-eyed at Lin Fan.

Brother Lin, is this how you handle a neck?

Do you have a fundamental misunderstanding about necks and chests?

Butterfly Fairy winced in pain. Her maid saw him harassing her mistress and, naturally unable to tolerate it, lunged at Lin Fan to fight him. "Let go of my mistress!"

Lin Fan glanced at the maid—she was alright, but compared to Butterfly Fairy, the gap was apparent. He flung her casually, throwing her into Qin Yang’s arms. "She’s yours."

Qin Yang instinctively caught her but quickly reacted, "Friend Lin, absolutely not. If my father knew I brought home a vulgar woman like this, he’d break my legs."

Utterly disdainful.

"Hand it over. If this gets out, it won’t be good for you. Besides, I see that Fairy’s romantic tribulations are severe, and coming to this place clearly indicates you’re just looking for someone. I don’t have many good qualities, but one outstanding one is that I enjoy personally assisting others and love being helpful."

Lin Fan’s expression was calm, but his words carried some flirtatious undertones, clearly intended to taunt.

Hmm.

The elasticity was decent.

Indeed, very pleasant.

How he wished time could slow down, or perhaps Butterfly Fairy could persist, so he could continue mastering the art of interrogation—preferably taking her to the back yard for slow coercion.

With his unique skills, the truth would surely come to light.

"Take it." Butterfly Fairy handed over the brocade box she had just obtained, her pain evident. She never thought she’d encounter someone like him.

At this moment, Lin Fan couldn’t help but feel surprised.

What the hell!

That was fast.

Lin Fan took the brocade box—the situation with the iron ball became clear.

[Dragon Essence: When the Evil Dragon was dying, it performed a curse using boundless mana and resentment power. A Long Family descendant, an Immortal King powerhouse, sacrificed their path to immortality and offered themselves to the heavens to suppress the curse. It must be enshrined in the ancestral hall and maintained by the faith of future generations; otherwise, utter devastation awaits.]

As expected.

The Dragon Family Master hadn’t lied.

It was exactly as described.

"You’ve handed it over, now can you take your hand off me?" Butterfly Fairy felt deeply humiliated, committing Lin Fan’s face to memory—there was no way she would let this go.

Lin Fan ignored Butterfly Fairy and handed the brocade box to the Dragon Family Master. "Check if it’s the right thing."

The Dragon Family Master hurried to inspect it, and upon confirming the item, he immediately exhaled with relief and expressed his gratitude once again. "Thank you, friend, for your help. The Long Family will remember this favor forever; should you need anything in the future, the Long Family will gladly face mortal peril to repay you."

"You’re too kind. To help when encountering injustice is the duty of an Immortal." Lin Fan said.

To him, this was nothing short of a ticking time bomb, ready to annihilate the entire family at any moment.

Especially with the emergence of Long Hao—that disaster-in-the-making—outcomes could be imagined, certainly tragic.

"Absolutely, absolutely."

The Dragon Family Master nodded, then glared at Long Hao, nearly infuriated to death by the unworthy offspring who unleashed such a catastrophe. If not for the kindness of strangers, the Long Family would be completely doomed.

The Long Family had produced earth-shattering powerhouses in their ancestry.

Later on, they retreated and settled in Ascension City, seeking to avoid entanglements with the world’s major forces. Otherwise, the ordeal surrounding the Dragon Essence’s curse would surely have led to a calamity. For this reason, they refrained from conflict and maintained peaceful existence until now.

The Dragon Family Master wished to invite Lin Fan as a guest, but Lin Fan refused. He had more critical matters to attend to; other things didn’t matter.

Soon after, the Long Family Master left with gratitude.

Only Lin Fan and his party of five remained in the venue.

Lin Fan retracted his hand and pinched Butterfly Fairy’s cheek, saying, "It’s best not to engage in such activities. Look at you, all proper in appearance, behaving this way—it must be your elders’ poor teachings."

"And I have a responsibility to make up for their shortcomings. During this period, I’ll train you properly. If you don’t cooperate, imagine the consequences yourself."

He sounded completely serious.

It seemed like there was nothing wrong with what he said.

Qin Yang whispered to Xiang Fei, "Brother Lin gives me the impression of being a bit sanctimonious."

Xiang Fei silently nodded.

It seemed he agreed with Qin Yang’s assessment.

To be honest.

Lin Fan wanted to sleep with her.

But staying overly blunt about it seemed somewhat crude.

Butterfly Fairy said, "Don’t go too far."

She then looked at Qin Yang. "Qin Yang, you’re an Immortal Venerable Family scion, yet you associate with a man like him. Aren’t you afraid I might inform your elders?"

"Hey, you’re quite amusing. Earlier I asked you to vouch for me, and you feigned not knowing me. Do you realize the enormous trouble your behavior caused me?"

"I, Qin Yang, have never suffered such humiliation in my entire life!"

Qin Yang seemed rather displeased. He originally intended to plead for Butterfly Fairy, but now he didn’t feel like it at all. She hadn’t bailed him out, so he wouldn’t help her.

"And my Brother Lin is a decent guy. He’s had his eye on you for a while. After all, someday you’ll end up benefiting someone—why not just let it be Brother Lin? Frankly, that wouldn’t be a loss for you."

Qin Yang was quite loyal.

He went all out to push Lin Fan toward Butterfly Fairy—a kind friend if ever there was one.

"Shameless..."

Butterfly Fairy was stunned that Qin Yang would say such things. But given her personal strength, she was powerless in this situation. She then moved toward her maid and helped her up.

Qin Yang shrugged. "Speaking of shamelessness, I’d willingly concede defeat. The third-ranked figure on the Flower List stooping to this kind of behavior—it’s laughable. By the way, I’ve got a loud mouth. When I find the time, I’ll spread the word for you."

"Butterfly Fairy came to a brothel to sell herself and steal treasures, only to be uncovered by my Brother Lin and dealt with on the spot, with moans echoing throughout the venue. What do you think?"

Among Lin Fan’s trio, Xiang Fei is the earnest one, Lin Fan the semi-serious one, and Qin Yang the completely uninhibited wildcard.

This combination truly is remarkable.

At this point, Butterfly Fairy trembled from anger. Suddenly, light enveloped her and her maid. "You all just wait!"

After this declaration.

She shot Lin Fan a venomous glare.

Soon after.

Their figures faded, seemingly utilizing some sort of Supreme Treasure to leave.

"Not so fast!"

Lin Fan raised his hand and slapped her posterior—a resounding smack, full of elasticity. He then quickly withdrew his hand.

"Hmm, she runs pretty fast."

Qin Yang said, "Brother Lin, you did that on purpose, didn’t you?"

Lin Fan replied matter-of-factly, "Ah, this demon woman left. Who knows how many people will suffer because of that. It seems that one day, I must deal with her decisively."
