A power transmitted, pulling him along.

Special Department.
Dormitory.
Lin Fan opened his eyes and glanced over, seeing Old Zhang, Ginseng, and the hen already fast asleep. He watched them quietly. The dream was too long; he was afraid of forgetting Old Zhang's appearance and wanted to forever engrave his face in his heart.
His neck felt itchy.
He raised his hand and touched it.
Soft.
He felt an ugly scarf. His expression changed slightly. This was the scarf Han Xiaoxiao knitted for him. He hadn't realized it had come back with him.
"Was that really me?"
Lin Fan pondered.
He thought deeply, wanting to understand everything, but with his brain capacity, it was difficult to comprehend.
In the distant starry sky…
There was a dazzling planet. The surface of this planet had many magical beams of light, like passages, connecting to the depths of the starry sky. This was the territory of a certain great clan, the main star connected to the domains they controlled, allowing for the fastest travel to various locations.
Within the planet…
Countless mountain peaks rose from the ground, and innumerable palaces were built upon them. Floating steps connected the peaks. Within the main peak…
A group of elders with profound auras waited anxiously.
The two princesses with the best talent in the clan were receiving their ancestral inheritance, and their situation was unknown.
They observed the fluctuating auras within.
Just a moment ago…
The situation had changed. They were very worried, thinking that something might have gone wrong inside, but then the aura calmed down, allowing them to breathe a sigh of relief.
This was the forbidden ground of the Han Clan. The Han Clan was once a small clan, but over the long passage of time, an unnoticed descendant, unbeknownst to all, cultivated into a Heavenly Venerable, traversing the unimaginable endless void.
Therefore, the Han Clan transformed this ancestor's old residence into the clan's forbidden ground.
Because it contained the will left behind by this ancestor.
Within the forbidden ground…
The two princesses, who had caused the ancestor so much worry, had already awakened.
"Sister, I seem to have had a strange dream."
"Sister, me too."
"Is this a trial given to us by our ancestor?"
"It should be. But why do I feel like, in that strange dream, you were a bit…flirty, sister?"
"You're so mean, sister! Xiaoxiao isn't flirty at all. But I feel like you were a bit silly in the dream, sister."
"Sister, why is there blood at the corner of your mouth?"
"Ah?"
September 1st!
Morning.
"Ah, I slept so well."
Old Zhang got up and stretched, glancing over to see Lin Fan standing by the window, staring blankly outside. He got dressed and walked over to Lin Fan's side, not asking anything, but simply accompanying him, watching the beautiful morning scenery outside together.
"Lin Fan…"
"Hmm?"
"I feel like you have something on your mind. You're different from yesterday. There's a sense of loneliness."
"Is there?"
Lin Fan was a little surprised. He smiled and said, "Don't I have you guys with me? I'm not lonely."
Having been pestered by the Holy One for so long, if it weren't for the fact that he had already finished, Lin Fan wouldn't have thought about what that dream was all about, why something had followed him back.
Anyone with a slightly normal mind…
Would wonder…
What was going on.
Could there be a terrible conspiracy?
They would even carefully study the 'Primordial Divine Body' they had obtained. Only he would be completely indifferent, not even remembering that such a thing had happened.
The evil rooster woke up.
The first thing it did was stare at Ginseng's pants, its chicken eyes gleaming brightly.
Poop!
Hurry up and poop for me early in the morning.
The evil rooster's expression was very excited. It strained too hard, and with a plop, an egg fell out. Plop… plop… continuously, eggs popped out like bamboo shoots after the rain.
Comfortable.
Daily task complete.
After Ginseng woke up, he habitually picked his nose. After digging for a long time, he only managed to get a grain-sized booger. With a flick of his root, the booger fell to the ground.
The evil rooster, upon seeing this object, reacted as if it had seen a sexy and enchanting female chicken. It flapped its wings and walked nonchalantly, approaching the booger. When no one was paying attention…
So delicious!
The booger, which had quietly landed on the ground, vanished without a trace after the evil rooster passed by, as if some environmentally conscious protector had collected it.
After breakfast…
Lin Fan took off the scarf, folded it neatly, and stood in front of the wardrobe, lost in thought.
After a long while…
He placed the scarf in the dark wardrobe. As the door closed, the wardrobe gradually darkened.
"Let's go out," Lin Fan said.
"Where to?" Old Zhang asked curiously.
"To find my wife."
"What for?"
"To ask for money."
"Oh!"
As they left the department, several gazes followed them from afar.
Liu Ying liked taking Ginseng to bathe.
Another gaze belonged to Lin Daoming.
As a Maoshan Daoist, he disdained to bicker with Liu Haichan. You cultivate your Daoist methods, and I'll pick up my poop. Let's see who has the last laugh.
"Strange, there are always guys thinking about me."
Ginseng, riding on the evil rooster, searched for the source of the gazes.
He couldn't find it.
The people passing by were all ordinary, without that kind of penetrating gaze.
He didn't think much of it.
Holding the rope, he urged the rooster forward, "Walk steadily, don't move around."
Hotel.
Mu Qing sipped her morning tea, looking at the scenery outside, feeling more relaxed than ever before.
Once, the Shadow Society had been like a mountain weighing down on her.
Just as she was thinking about these things…
There was a knock on the door.
Mu Qing got up and looked through the peephole. Eh… what are they doing here so early?
She opened the door.
"Wife, I miss you so much."
As soon as the door opened, Lin Fan hugged Mu Qing. His actions were a bit decisive, and Mu Qing was stunned, not knowing where to put her hands. She felt like something was wrong.
Her situation was like being forcibly assigned an identity.
Lin Fan's wife.
But women… all like broad and strong shoulders. She had a good impression of Lin Fan.
"Do you miss me?"
She hadn't seen him in a while and really missed him. Although Mu Qing and Lin Fan didn't meet frequently, during the time they had interacted, she knew what kind of person Lin Fan was. He was a good person, just a bit silly sometimes, which was actually quite cute.
Ginseng sighed, "Damn dog food."
Such a trendy term wasn't unfamiliar to Ginseng. It seemed he had learned quite a bit about modern society.
Lin Fan released Mu Qing, spreading his hands. "Wife, I need some money."
"Ah?" Mu Qing was a little dumbfounded by Lin Fan's actions. It wasn't that she was unwilling to give him money, but she hadn't expected Lin Fan to come to her for money so early in the morning.
Lin Fan was a little hesitant, like a man from a traditional family where the woman controlled the finances. The man might seem fierce and domineering, boasting about drinking and staying out late.
But as soon as money was mentioned, his true colors would be revealed, timid and shrinking, only daring to be tough when money wasn't involved.
"I'm not going to waste it. It's just that I've taken a liking to fishing recently, and I want to buy a few fishing rods."
Lin Fan explained.
Old Zhang looked on curiously. When did he learn to fish? He had never seen it, but he had heard that fishing was a very interesting activity, and Old Zhang was looking forward to it.
Mu Qing was a wealthy person.
A popular star.
Her net worth wasn't comparable to Xiao Bao's, but she still had a few hundred million.
"Do you have a phone?" Mu Qing asked.
"Yes."
"Do you have WeChat?"
"No."
Mu Qing took Lin Fan's phone, registered an account for him, and then linked her bank card to his WeChat.
"I'll show you how to do it. You need to learn. In the future, when you buy things, just use your phone to pay."
Lin Fan watched very carefully.
Suddenly…
The watch on his wrist caught Mu Qing's eye. Her expression changed slightly.
If she wasn't mistaken…
The price of that watch… seemed a little expensive.
After a while…
"Did you learn?" Mu Qing asked.
Lin Fan said, "I learned."
Mu Qing said, "There's still quite a bit of money in my card. You might not be able to buy anything too expensive, but buying some fishing rods shouldn't be a problem. This is my contact information. If you need anything, you can message me."
"Okay, thank you, wife." Lin Fan smiled.
Mu Qing felt a pang in her heart. She hadn't even experienced the taste of love yet, and she was already being called "wife." She used to be quite startled when she heard it, but now she was used to it.
Let him call her that.
It wouldn't hurt.
She always wanted to know why Lin Fan called her "wife." They had clearly never met before, but as a woman, she could feel a certain emotion in Lin Fan's eyes when he looked at her.
To put it bluntly…
It was love.
"I have something to tell you," Lin Fan said.
Mu Qing asked, "What is it?"
Lin Fan hesitated about whether to tell her about Xiaoxiao, but after thinking about it, he felt it wasn't quite right. He shook his head and said,
"Nothing. I'm going to buy some things."
"Goodbye, wife."
Mu Qing was very puzzled.
She couldn't understand.
He had something to tell her, but why was he acting like this? Was there something wrong, or was the impact of this matter a bit too much, making him think it was better not to say anything?
Closing the door, Mu Qing leaned against it, looking up at the ceiling, lost in thought. She didn't know if being fancied by Lin Fan was a good thing, but she knew that Lin Fan had definitely set his sights on her.
"Am I keeping a kept man now?"
Mu Qing muttered to herself.
Outside…
Old Zhang said enviously, "Your wife is so nice. I'm so envious. She even gives you money to spend."
"What's mine is yours," Lin Fan said.
"Ah, is it the wife?"
"No, the money."
"That's what I thought. It's impossible."
The two chatted idly. The topics seemed meaningless, but the friendship between them was deep.
Although Lin Fan had lived in the dream world for nearly two hundred years…
His personality should have become quite solitary.
But after meeting Old Zhang, everything returned to the way it used to be. He opened his heart, and the familiar Lin Fan returned.
Xiao Gu's Fishing Tackle Shop.
"Is the owner in?"
Lin Fan asked, standing at the doorway.
The owner, a middle-aged man, stood at the counter and looked towards the door upon hearing the voice.
Are you blind…?
Am I not standing right here?
