Chapter 162: New Combination, All Are Losers. New Protagonist, Dragon King? (Part 2)
"
"Our Moon Embrace Sect may not be too strong at the moment, but we are steadily developing. For such a major event, we cannot be too cautious."
"That makes sense."
Lin Fan nodded.
These words made perfect sense. If it really was someone from the upper realm, there must be a significant matter.
Not investigating the other party’s background and purpose could easily lead to conflict, which would not be good news.
"Shall we, a few of us old fellows, take a trip?"
Lian Bo suggested.
"There’s no need."
Lin Fan pondered for a moment, calculating the timing, before saying, "Coincidentally, I’ve been feeling a surge of enthusiasm lately, so I’ll go personally."
"Then..."
"Would you old fellows like to come along with me?"
Lian Bo was somewhat uneasy. In his view, while Lin Fan was excellent in all aspects, his individual strength was somewhat weaker.
"There’s no need for that."
"Everyone has significant roles in the Moon Embrace Sect. Leaving would be a waste of time and not beneficial."
Lin Fan smiled, "Besides, I’m not going alone."
"So there’s no need to worry."
"I’m reassured, then."
Lian Bo agreed.
Although he didn’t know who Lin Fan would bring, since he was bringing someone...
It should be fine, right?
Just, please don’t bring those few old fellows from the Fire Virtue Sect!
He heard that the Fire Virtue Sect had started to bring their outstanding disciples and important figures to live on the ‘Fire Virtue Peak’!
If those few old fellows from the Fire Virtue Sect were to increase their presence and contributions, he and his people would easily be marginalized!
The next day.
Lin Fan set out.
Lian Bo watched the two departing figures with a peculiar expression.
Reassured... Reassured by what? How could he be reassured?!
He was puzzled.
Indeed, Lin Fan didn’t bring those few old fellows from the Fire Virtue Sect, so he should be reassured. But who did Lin Fan bring?!
Fan Jianqiang!!!
He brought Fan Jianqiang!!!
That Fan Jianqiang, who had been in the sect for several years, only recently advanced to his second minor realm, and was currently at the third level of the second stage!!!
"Is this called bringing someone?"
"Is this called not going alone?"
"Yes, technically, this isn’t going alone, but does it really make a difference from going alone?"
"No, there is a difference!"
"Bringing him is worse than going alone!"
"At least if you go alone, you can turn and run when trouble comes, without dragging such a burden along!"
At this moment, he even wanted to rush out and haul Lin Fan back to question him face-to-face.
Notably, as the Moon Embrace Sect gradually developed, Fan Jianqiang became increasingly reclusive.
He kept a low profile, rarely showing his face. To those who didn’t know him, he was a completely insignificant figure.
It’s no wonder Lian Bo and others found him unreliable and a potential liability.
But Lin Fan was also clear that Fan Jianqiang didn’t care about these things. In fact, he preferred everyone to see him this way, so he could be at ease.
However, it didn’t make much difference now.
After all, even his own people viewed him this way, how could outsiders know any better?
Unfortunately, today, Lin Fan had ‘dragged him out of his cave,’ making him very uncomfortable.
"Why bother?"
All the way, he sighed continuously.
"Why bother?"
"Sigh!"
"I was doing just fine in the scripture hall..."
"Don’t pretend."
Lin Fan chuckled, "I know you were doing just fine. I also know what kind of person you are. If it wasn’t necessary, I wouldn’t have dragged you out."
"Didn’t you first ask what it’s about?"
"What’s it about?"
Fan Jianqiang perked up a bit; he was genuinely curious.
"Dragon King."
"Dragon King? What Dragon King?"
"Haven’t the Immortal Martial Continent already lost its true dragons? Could it be some dragon clan remnants with a bit of true dragon bloodline, claiming the title of Dragon King?"
"A bit presumptuous, isn’t it? Even if there are no true dragons, such a title can easily cause trouble."
Fan Jianqiang gasped, "How did you come up with that?"
"Even if the bloodline reverted to its purest form and turned into a true dragon, it shouldn’t be so..."
To him, this was just too reckless.
Although he didn’t know the exact situation of the other party, to openly claim the title of Dragon King was undoubtedly courting trouble.
If it were him...
Dragon King?
Dragon poop!
He was just a worm, and no one should pay attention to him!
"Unclear, it could be the situation you described, or it could be someone who came down from above."
Lin Fan wasn’t surprised by his behavior and said, "Precisely because it’s unclear, but we can’t be too cautious, that’s why I decided to bring you along."
"After all, you’re not afraid of death."
"???"
Fan Jianqiang instantly bristled.
"Master, are you misunderstanding something?"
"When did I become fearless of death?"
"I’m the most afraid of death, okay?"
"Right, you’re just mocking me, aren’t you? Mocking me for being afraid of death? But I’m not afraid of death, I’m cautious! Very cautious!"
"Please don’t say that."
"Don’t pretend to be ignorant!" Lin Fan rolled his eyes, "Do I not know you?"
"You’re just being too cautious."
"Besides, have you ever shown your true self? Are you still afraid of death?"
"Even if ‘you’ were to die now, would you be afraid?"
Trying to deceive him?
You’re just a straw man!
It’s only because I have the art of myriad transformations that you can’t tell I’m also a straw man, otherwise, heh~
"Afraid!"
However, Fan Jianqiang still had a worried look on his face, saying, "Even if this is just a straw man, I’m still afraid! Afraid of bringing trouble and karma to my true self~"
"Ah, right, right, what you say is all true."
Lin Fan rolled her eyes and said, "But don't even think about running away."
"Only the two of us are fearless. It's most appropriate for us to go and figure out the situation."
"That's true... It's a ghost!" Fan Jianqiang suddenly realized, "Wait, I'm not afraid of death since I'm a scarecrow, so I won't pretend anymore."
"Then why aren't you afraid of death?"
"Are you some kind of clone?"
"Nonsense!" Lin Fan denied it with a serious expression, "How is that possible?"
"I truly am not afraid of death!"
"Ever since I took over as the Sect Master of Moon Embrace Sect, no, ever since the day I came here, I've put life and death aside. I swear to protect every single person in the sect. I..."
"Mhm, I believe you," Fan Jianqiang nodded, "I almost forgot."
"As a hanger-on."
"What are you worried about?"
Lin Fan said, "Is it really okay for you to expose me like this?"
"Besides, it's mutual."
"Hey."
Fan Jianqiang spread his hands and said, "So, it's just the two of us?"
"There's another person!"
"A beauty."
Lin Fan blinked, "A stunning beauty!"
"How big?"
"She's on her way to meet up with us, and you'll see for yourself soon!"
...
Bright Moon Sect.
Lu Ming took out Long Aojiao's communication talisman, "Aojiao, the Moon Embrace Sect contacted me and said there's some sort of Dragon King causing trouble near the Flower Sanctuary."
"It seems like a big deal. The Sect Master of Moon Embrace Sect and Fan Jianqiang have both gone there. If you're interested, you can go and take a look."
"If you go, you can also take care of them. I have a past connection with them and owe them a favor."
"..."
After receiving the telepathic transmission, Long Aojiao furrowed her brows, "What a big name!"
"Even if it's bigger, can it beat you, the former Arrogant Heaven?" Lu Ming smiled.
"That's true."
"However, the Sect Master of Moon Embrace Sect, Lin Fan, and Fan Jianqiang... Hmph, it's not just you. I also owe them a favor and have been worrying about how to repay them."
"Since there might be danger, I'll make a trip there."
"If they truly encounter danger, I'll save them and consider it as repaying this favor, solving a lot of trouble."
Then, her eyes sparkled, and she said, "You should know about this matter, so you're deliberately telling me to go there, right?"
Lu Ming, "Confused About Array", Long Aojiao chuckled, "Don't even think about fooling this miss!"
"You're just taking advantage of the situation to repay a few favors! How dare you do it but not admit it? Hmph, this miss will remember this."
"However, don't even think that this miss will fall in love with you."
Lu Ming was speechless, "You better scram!"
"You must not have such thoughts; otherwise, I'll be the first to kill you!"
"Oh? Are you willing to do it?" Long Aojiao suddenly asked in a coquettish tone.
"Damn it!"
"Are you crazy?"
"Scram!"
Lu Ming was furious; his entire body was bristling with anger, and he started yelling.
"Haha!"
After being scolded, Long Aojiao burst into laughter.
It wasn't that she suddenly became a masochist; she simply found it amusing.
Perhaps...
Becoming a woman wasn't entirely without benefits.
At least, she could use this method to tease and annoy people!
Hmm?
No, that's wrong!
I'm a real man! How could I think that becoming a woman has its advantages?
Don't even think about it!
Pfft!
...
"Master, look at the beauty, quickly look at the beauty!"
To the west of the Flower Sanctuary, there was the Sea Moon Immortal City.
Soon after entering the city, Fan Jianqiang's eyes widened, and he kept nudging Lin Fan with his elbow, "Look, over there, you look!"
"It's a camisole and a miniskirt!"
"High heels!"
"Those long legs, and..."
"She's walking towards us! She's looking at us, amazing!"
"Hmm? Wait!"
"Camisole, miniskirt, and high heels?"
He suddenly realized and telepathically exclaimed, "Wait, could she be a fellow countrywoman?"
Does the Immortal Martial Continent have such a style of dressing? Although the population of the Immortal Martial Continent is countless, and each race has its unique clothing style, this is no longer a matter of style but a generational gap!
"Don't say that. You should try it."
"Then I'll give it a shot."
Fan Jianqiang was determined to do it, after all, he was just a scarecrow, and the other party had clearly noticed them and was walking towards them. There was no way to hide.
So, he paused for a moment, and as the other party approached, he took a step forward and said, "Odd changes but not even!"
At the same time, he stared intently at the other party's facial expression.
Seeing the other party looking at him with a confused expression, he secretly thought, "Could it be that she didn't go to school? I'll try another secret code."
He then said, "Where is the best excavator technology?"
The stunning beauty in the camisole and miniskirt narrowed her eyes, and her red lips parted.
Fan Jianqiang thought he had guessed the secret signal correctly, but just as he was being cautious, he heard the other party say, "Fan Jianqiang, do you want to die?"
"Or do you, as a scarecrow, want to burn some of your clones?"
Fan Jianqiang took a sudden step back, shocked.
"That's not it!"
"How did she see through my disguise?"
"Wait a moment!"
Suddenly, he reacted. "Damn it, Long Ao Jiao, it's you?!"
"Who else?"
Long Aojiao retorted.
"Fck!"
Fan Jianqiang cursed, "You fking—!"
He almost retched.
He had thought he had encountered an exceptionally beautiful woman who would brighten his day. After all, this was the Immortal Martial Continent, not Earth. He had never seen such attire and beauty before!
But you fking told me you're Long Ao Jiao, a male!
It was simply too much!
Too much, indeed!
How dare you!
Too much, to the extreme!
Long Ao Jiao, however, smirked, "Huh, shallow man."
"Never seen a woman as beautiful and charming as me? No wonder you'd fall for it."
"Come, kneel down, and lick my toes. I'll let you taste my saliva."
"Ugh!"
"You fking sicko!" This time, Fan Jianqiang really did retch.
He liked beautiful women.
Who didn’t?
But this was beyond sick!
This wasn't just sick, it was extremely sick!
Was this how Long Ao Jiao always acted?
Fck!
He couldn't take it!
"Huh!"
Long Ao Jiao didn't care, her red lips curling. "Fine, you're not worthy of tasting my saliva, you fool."
"Get lost!"
After the commotion, the three finally met formally.
Then, a soundproof barrier was set up, and they began to talk.
"Long... Lady?"
Lin Fan's acting was top-notch. He clasped his hands and bowed, perfectly maintaining the 'distance' between them.
"..."
Long Ao Jiao's lips twitched, "Sect Master Lin, though I call myself a lady, you can't call me a lady!"
"Otherwise, even if I owe you a favor, I won’t harm you before I repay it, but once I'm done, it will be your end!"
"How dare you speak to our Master in such a way?" Fan Jianqiang glared.
Lin Fan, however, gently raised his hand, "It's fine."
"Then, how should we address you?"
"Call me Long Ao Jiao."
Long Ao Jiao lifted her head, not making things difficult for Lin Fan, but she truly disliked being called a lady. Each time someone did, she felt offended.
"Alright, Ao Jiao."
Lin Fan smiled.
Long Ao Jiao: "..."
"Cough."
"Ao Jiao, you should have arrived before us. What do you know about this Dragon King?"
"I have some knowledge, but not much."
When it came to the main topic, Long Ao Jiao didn’t beat around the bush. She nodded and said, "This Dragon King is very mysterious, almost like a dragon you see the head of but never the tail."
"Though he often appears, each time is like a momentary blooming of a night-blooming cereus."
"Every time he appears, it's to accomplish something. Once done, he disappears instantly."
"Because so few have seen him, even the locals mostly only know his name, not his true identity, gender, or appearance."
"Even whether he's a dragon or a human is unknown."
"However, he has mostly been appearing in the area near the Sea Moon Immortal City."
"His actions are extremely arrogant and ruthless."
"Wherever he goes, if it's one of his own, they receive great benefits. If it's an enemy, the entire clan is exterminated, with no survivors, and heads roll, and blood flows in rivers!"
"Near the city?"
"So ruthless?"
Fan Jianqiang was surprised.
"Yes, near the city, but never inside."
"At least, not publicly."
"Because no news comes out of the city." Long Ao Jiao responded.
"Quite impressive!"
Fan Jianqiang praised. "You must have arrived not long before us, yet you've gathered so much information. It seems you've put in a lot of effort."
"Bullshit."
Long Ao Jiao crossed her arms, emphasizing her impressive chest. "I have money. I don't even need to go to the Heavenly Omens Tower for this information."
"Just find a few local chieftains, throw some money, and you'll know everything."
"Aren't you worried they'll lie to you?"
"If they dare!"
Fan Jianqiang was taken aback.
Lin Fan, however, was lost in thought. "Hasn't appeared in the city."
"Does this mean his strength isn't too strong yet? At least, not strong enough to ignore the rules of the Sea Moon Immortal City, so he operates in the surrounding areas instead of entering the city?"
"It's possible."
Long Ao Jiao nodded.
"What do you think?"
"I have nothing else to do, so I'll go with you."
Fan Jianqiang finally realized, his heart racing, "Fck?!"
"Long Ao Jiao is the helper Master mentioned?"
"This..."
"How did Master end up with Long Ao Jiao?"
"Hiss~!"
Lin Fan, however, didn't understand what Fan Jianqiang was thinking.
His brows furrowed, somewhat puzzled.
"Currently lacking strength, yet so high-profile, it feels like this Dragon King isn’t all there in the head?"
"Could it be that he came from the upper Realm and was injured during the descent, leading to a loss of strength?"
"It's not impossible."
"In any case..."
"Since we're here, no matter what, it's best to see with our own eyes."
"At least, we need to figure out what this 'Dragon King' is all about."
This wasn't Lin Fan being overly involved.
But with so many 'main character templates' in the Moon Embrace Sect, and each one representing countless troubles, the best approach was to actively engage and understand.
Because who knows if this person isn’t here to eliminate one of those main character templates?"
