“Beast!” the Thunder King roared in agony, his power drained, his洞天 realm plundered, everything vanishing like smoke. Now he was merely a strong ancient clan warrior, practically ruined.
(Note: “洞天” is a Daoist term referring to a mystical or spiritual realm, often translated as “grotto heaven” or “cave paradise.” If this is a specific term in a fictional context, it could also be transliterated as “Dongtian” if intended for a fantasy setting.)
Here is the translated version with “Dongtian” for consistency in a fictional or cultivation-novel context:
“Beast!” the Thunder King roared in agony, his power drained, his Dongtian realm plundered, everything vanishing like smoke. Now he was merely a strong ancient clan warrior, practically ruined.
“Hmph.” Lin Fan flicked his arm, and a rope immediately looped around the Thunder King’s neck, dragging him like a dog on a leash.
Everyone was shocked at this moment. They couldn’t believe that the mighty Thunder King had been defeated so thoroughly, without even the slightest chance of resistance.
Who exactly was this man?
“It’s time to settle the payment.” Lin Fan, leading the Thunder King, approached Qiuyue.
“Thank you, savior. On behalf of my team, I express our deepest gratitude.” Lie Baitian never imagined that he and his teammates could survive an encounter with an ancient clan King. To them, the Thunder King had been an insurmountable mountain, utterly beyond their capabilities.
“There’s no need to call me savior. This was a business deal.” Lin Fan waved his hand dismissively. Business was business—earning those ten thousand contribution points hadn’t been easy.
Qiuyue explained everything in detail to the team leader, and upon hearing it, Lie Baitian’s expression turned to shock.
He never imagined that such a formidable existence had been hired merely for ten thousand contribution points. To Lie Baitian, this was simply unbelievable.
“Savior, ten thousand points are too little. I would like to offer you half of our team’s points.” After calming his inner turmoil, Lie Baitian said.
“Don’t bother. I said ten thousand, and that’s final. Are you trying to insult my professionalism?” Lin Fan felt offended. Throughout his career, he had always kept his word—what he said was final, no haggling.
“No, no, absolutely not! I would never insult your professionalism!” Lie Baitian hastily waved his hands.
At the same time, Lie Baitian was somewhat confused. He merely thought ten thousand points were too little and wanted to offer more—where was the insult in that?
“Fine then. Hand over the ten thousand points.” Lin Fan felt pressed for time. Once he had those ten thousand points, he could immediately form a team and take on missions, finally embarking on the path to success.
Naturally, Lie Baitian wanted to maintain a good relationship with such a powerful figure. If they could be on good terms, they might even request his help for future tasks.
Soon, the ten thousand contribution points were transferred, and Lin Fan’s heart swelled with joy. He hadn’t expected earning those ten thousand points to be so eventful.
“Shaven monk, are you done yet?” Lin Fan shouted toward the monk in the distance who was still displaying his might.
Lin Fan didn’t take those ancient clan soldiers seriously. After all, he had taken the lion’s share, but he still needed to leave some scraps for the monk to feast on—otherwise, the baldy would start whining again.
“Virtuous one, I’m almost done,” Venerable Sakyamuni replied excitedly. This time, he had converted many ancient clan members, and the faith within his洞天 realm had grown even stronger.
Indeed, being by Lin Fan’s side brought countless blessings.
“Captain, should we go out and ask for their help?” a member of the Rose Squad hesitantly suggested.
Originally, such a powerful figure should have been willing to assist them in completing their mission, but due to their concerns and unfamiliarity with his background, they had declined.
But now, witnessing this scene, the Rose Squad deeply regretted their decision. Had they not refused back then, their mission would likely have been completed long ago.
“It’s too late now.” Liu Weirui shook her head, regret evident on her face.
If only she had trusted them back then, the situation would surely be different now.
“Captain, how can we know unless we try? I’ll go beg them.” A girl with a cute, childish face clenched her teeth and said.
Back at the Guardian Realm, it had been her who first warned the captain to be cautious. Now, having witnessed the power of this mighty figure firsthand, she naturally understood that they had missed out on a great opportunity.
If this mission failed, it would be an unbearable blow to the Rose Squad.
Although the Guardian Realm was a sanctuary for countless beings, the competition there was fierce.
“Tong Han…” Liu Weirui started to say something but stopped herself, eventually sighing helplessly.
…
Lin Fan and Venerable Sakyamuni were preparing to leave with Lie Baitian’s team when a well-endowed girl approached Lin Fan.
“So it’s you guys.” Lin Fan saw the approaching figure and a smile curled his lips. Then he raised his eyebrows, secretly delighted—these girls were regretting their decision now.
After witnessing the might of this Emperor, they deeply regretted missing out on such a powerful figure.
Tong Han felt somewhat awkward but lifted her head to look at Lin Fan. “Can our Rose Squad still rent your services?”
“Want to rent me, huh?” Lin Fan smiled, his eyes gleaming as he gave her a thorough once-over. He wondered how the girls of the Great Thousand Races grew up—Tong Han was a fox girl, her fluffy tail swaying behind her, complementing her ample curves that nearly burst out of her clothes, exuding irresistible allure.
“Yes.” Tong Han nodded, her expression full of anticipation.
At this moment, Liu Weirui and the others also stepped forward from the void, Liu Weirui looking somewhat embarrassed, almost afraid to meet Lin Fan’s gaze.
“Virtuous one, helping others is the source of happiness. In my humble opinion…” Venerable Sakyamuni’s heart pounded excitedly, though his expression remained calm.
“Shut up, bald monk.”
…
“Actually, this Emperor only wanted to earn ten thousand contribution points. Now that I’ve already received them, I’m not short of points anymore. However, seeing as you’re all delicate young ladies, this Emperor finds it difficult to refuse you. But just now, after battling the Thunder King, this Emperor is quite exhausted and aching all over. I really need a good rest.”
With a thought, Lin Fan conjured a large palanquin in the void. Then he plopped himself onto it, stretching out his arms and legs.
His meaning was clear—this Emperor was tired and needed a massage.
But to the Rose Squad, they couldn’t immediately grasp his intention.
Seeing that the Rose Squad hadn’t moved, Lin Fan frowned. These girls were truly lacking in perceptiveness.
The venerable Sakyamuni, witnessing the scene, coughed lightly. “Master Lin exerted himself too much just now, causing soreness in his limbs. He really needs a massage. Master, what do you think?”
“Exactly!” Lin Fan nodded approvingly at Venerable Sakyamuni.
With such a direct hint from Venerable Sakyamuni, if the Rose Squad still didn’t understand, they would truly be hopeless.
Tong Han wrestled internally for a moment, then immediately stepped forward, placing one of Lin Fan’s legs across her lap. Her delicate, smooth hands began kneading.
“Good, very good. Your technique is excellent.” Lin Fan hadn’t expected this girl to be so skilled, and he couldn’t help but enjoy the treatment.
Seeing this, the other members of the Rose Squad felt reluctant in their hearts. However, for the sake of their team’s future, eventually three more members followed Tong Han’s example, massaging his legs and arms.
This kind of feeling had been long forgotten since he arrived in the Ancient Sage Realm. He hadn’t experienced such treatment in ages.
Now, reliving it once more, Lin Fan found it just as delightful as ever.
“Very good, very good. This Emperor’s arms are gradually recovering. Helping you won’t be a problem. Hey you, Liu Weirui, yes, you. My head feels a bit dizzy. Come behind and give me a head massage.”
“And Lie Baitian, this Emperor saved you all, and now my whole body feels uncomfortable. Come four people and carry this palanquin.” Lin Fan continued.
Without hesitation, Lie Baitian immediately stepped forward personally.
“Alright, let’s get going.” Lin Fan was very satisfied with the current situation. With a wave of his hand, he led the procession toward the Rose Squad’s mission destination.
“Ah, the life of a landlord truly is wonderful.” Lying there, Lin Fan sighed in contentment.
“施主, I’m also feeling a bit sore.” Venerable Sakyamuni, seeing Lin Fan so relaxed and enjoying himself, couldn’t help but say enviously.
Translation:
“Disciple, I’m also feeling a bit sore,” Venerable Sakyamuni said enviously, seeing how relaxed and at ease Lin Fan was.
“You sore? Don’t make me laugh. You didn’t even have to lift a finger. Just guard me from around.” Lin Fan replied.
“Fine.” Venerable Sakyamuni muttered dejectedly.
If people from the Guardian Realm saw this scene, they would surely be furious enough to spit blood.
They had endured countless hardships in their cultivation, striving to improve their cultivation, yet this person was enjoying himself so leisurely.
With beauties by his side, surrounded by flowers.
It was enough to make others green with envy.
