After leaving the old man, Lin Fan casually counted his Shengyang Pills.
Now, with all his possessions, he still had 15 million Shengyang Pills.
It seemed like a lot, but the technique that prolonged one’s lifespan by a century required a staggering 100 million Shengyang Pills. To Lin Fan, that number was unfathomably vast.
“Believer…”
The moment Lin Fan appeared, the Venerable Sakyas rushed over, his face blushing with shyness, as if he had suddenly become obedient.
“Ah, what a sin! Even a high-ranking Buddhist monk gives up his dignity for a cultivation technique,” Lin Fan sighed.
“Kind believer, have mercy on me,” Sakyas pleaded desperately—an act that was, for him, a deeply painful lesson.
“My stomach’s a bit empty,” Lin Fan said, patting his belly.
“I’ll treat you.”
“My shoulders are a bit sore.”
“My legs are tired too.”
“Believer, don’t say anything else. I’ll be your personal masseur,” Sakyas didn’t even hesitate. To master the “Great Buddha Illumination,” he was willing to abandon everything—becoming a servant was only natural.
“There’s no rush. I need to introduce you to some people first,” Lin Fan said with a smile.
Then, Lin Fan summoned Xuan Yunxian, Zhiqiao, You Jiuling, and Chi Zi along with his three sons.
The moment they appeared, everyone was somewhat dazed, unable to understand how they had suddenly been transported from wherever they were to this place in an instant.
Now that Lin Fan controlled the Xuanhuang Realm, his every movement was effortless. Even forcibly pulling someone from the Xuanhuang Realm was as easy as breathing.
“Husband, where are we?” Xuan Yunxian, who had vast experience and knowledge, was frightened by this sudden and unfamiliar place. If not for Lin Fan standing beside her, she might have panicked.
“Master, where is this?” Zhiqiao and You Jiuling asked.
Their appearances had changed quite a bit. Their hands were still entwined, but neither seemed uncomfortable—it appeared they had already gotten used to it.
Chi Zi jumped onto Lin Fan’s shoulder, completely indifferent to the change in location. As long as his big brother was around, everything was secure.
“Believer, this…” Seeing Lin Fan summon people out of nowhere, Venerable Sakyas was stunned. Was Lin Fan’s power now this absurdly strong?
Terrifying. Absolutely terrifying.
“This is my wife, Xuan Yunxian. These two are my disciples,” Lin Fan explained.
“Woowoowo!”
Chi Zi, dissatisfied, nudged Lin Fan’s face with his head, protesting that Lin Fan hadn’t introduced him.
“I know, I know. Even a chicken needs an introduction.”
“This is Chi Zi, my little brother.”
“Woowoowo!”
Chi Zi crowed loudly, stretching out one wing as if offering a handshake.
Venerable Sakyas, still confused, instinctively extended his hand.
“And this is the bald monk,” Lin Fan said casually.
Xuan Yunxian, ever composed, smiled gently. “Master, it’s a pleasure to meet you.”
She sensed the strange energy in this place and, to her, the monk’s aura was immense—boundless and unfathomable.
“Oh, so you’re the lady of Lin Fan. I am Venerable Sakyas,” the monk said, instantly adopting the demeanor of an enlightened master.
“Woowoowo!”
At that moment, Chi Zi’s three baby chicks, clinging to Lin Fan’s legs, also crowed loudly, as if demanding introductions for themselves.
Lin Fan looked down helplessly and finally shook his head.
“The one dressed in gold and silver is Chi Da.”
“The punk one is Chi Er.”
“And the one too fat to get any fatter is Chi Pang.”
Swish! Swish!
As soon as Lin Fan finished introducing them, the three bizarre chickens immediately stretched their wings toward Venerable Sakyas, clearly signaling a handshake to signify their acquaintance.
Venerable Sakyas blinked in astonishment at the three strange chickens before crouching slightly and extending his hand.
“Woowoowo!”
Chi Zi, perched on Lin Fan’s shoulder, crowed in satisfaction, nodding approvingly that his three chicken sons hadn’t embarrassed him—they were well-mannered.
“Yunxian, this is the Guardian Land, one of the few safe places in the ancient Saint Realm,” Lin Fan said.
To Yunxian, the surrounding energy felt overwhelmingly powerful, as if they were surrounded by countless masters. Yet, standing beside Lin Fan, all unease vanished.
“Bald monk, let’s go eat.”
“Believer, but the…” Sakyas constantly thought of the “Great Buddha Illumination.” To him, learning it would make him willing to do anything.
“After dinner,” Lin Fan said with a smile.
“Fine.”
…
At the dinner table.
Chi Zi savored the delicacies with great chicken-like satisfaction.
Chi Da adjusted his jewelry.
Chi Er groomed his hairstyle.
Chi Pang gorged himself until his belly bulged.
Lin Fan and Xuan Yunxian exchanged glances filled with affection.
Venerable Sakyas blinked, suddenly feeling like an unnecessary presence. To ease the awkwardness, he decided to chat with Lin Fan’s two disciples.
But when he turned his gaze toward them, he froze.
“Jiuling, I want this,” Zhiqiao pointed.
“Okay, have a big piece,” Jiuling smiled.
“Eating too much will make you fat.”
“No, it won’t. Zhiqiao has the best figure—she won’t get fat.”
“Wow, this is delicious! Jiuling, you should try it too.”
The two girls exchanged glances, smiling sweetly. Their voices were like celestial music, enchanting all who heard.
Lin Fan and Xuan Yunxian whispered happily, but suddenly, Lin Fan stopped mid-action.
“Hmm.”
He suddenly sensed something was off.
Looking at the way Zhiqiao and Jiuling were behaving, a sense of dread crept into his heart.
Their sweet gazes, joyful smiles, and intimate gestures were too close for comfort.
“Cough! Cough!”
Lin Fan lightly coughed, hinting for them to mind their behavior.
But to Zhiqiao and Jiuling, it was as if they hadn’t heard. They continued chatting and laughing, their smiles captivating the other diners.
To the other guests, these two women exuded a rare charm.
“Zhiqiao, Jiuling… maybe I should separate you two,” Lin Fan, who hadn’t paid much attention to them before, now felt something was seriously wrong.
“No!”
“Master, there’s no need. We’re already used to it,” Zhiqiao and Jiuling shook their heads, clearly unbothered.
“Yeah, we feel great like this.”
“Isn’t it inconvenient?” Lin Fan carefully chose his words, not wanting to be too direct.
“Not at all.”
“Yeah, it’s actually convenient. We can even wash each other’s backs when we bathe.”
“Exactly! Exactly!”
Hearing their response, Lin Fan instantly gave up trying to argue.
He kept winking at Xuan Yunxian, silently urging her, as their master, to say something.
But Xuan Yunxian simply smiled.
“Husband, I think it’s actually quite nice.”
Lin Fan: “…”
