Chương 508: Chapter 508: With Him Here, Nothing Like That Will Happen
Lin Fan patrolled the streets with Old Zhang as usual.
They arrived at the grassy area beneath the Cross-River Bridge.
Sitting cross-legged, they gazed at the distant scenery. The calm lake surface rippled gently as boats sailed by.
The scene was incredibly peaceful.
"I really hope it stays this beautiful forever," Old Zhang sighed, looking at the azure sky. His world was small, revolving solely around Lin Fan.
If Lin Fan were to abandon him, Old Zhang would be left with no one familiar, his world plunged into darkness, a darkness so complete he couldn't see his own hand in front of his face.
Lin Fan replied, "It will. It will always be this beautiful."
Possessing heaven-defying cultivation, yet he remained unassuming, peacefully residing in an insignificant corner of the universe. If he were to step out of this place and into the vast starry sky, he would undoubtedly become the invincible nightmare of everyone.
Renshen sat on the Demonic Rooster.
For him, life was pretty good now, devoid of conflict. He habitually stroked the Demonic Rooster's head.
The Demonic Rooster was quite dissatisfied with Renshen petting his head, feeling the action was humiliating. He, the Demonic Rooster, was a hero of his kind, after all.
If his fellow rooster brethren were to see this, wouldn't he lose all face?
After a while...
Cluck! Cluck!
Old Zhang clutched his stomach. "I'm a little hungry."
"Aren't you full?" Lin Fan asked.
"Mmm, no, not full. I thought I was full, but it turns out I'm not."
Old Zhang's words were perfectly reasonable.
Lin Fan pondered. He couldn't let Old Zhang stay hungry; otherwise, he would get thin, and being thin wasn't good for his health. It would have consequences.
"Wait for me."
He had already thought of a solution.
Old Zhang asked curiously, "Are you going to buy something?"
"No." Lin Fan started taking off his clothes, until only his underwear remained. He turned and said, "I'm going to catch you a fish."
With that, he plunged into the water with a splash. He moved as nimbly as a fish, searching for his target. Soon, he spotted a fish leisurely swimming about.
With swift eyes and hands, he appeared behind the fish and grabbed it.
The leisurely fish was startled.
Holy crap!
Not even this place is safe?
On the shore...
"Is it ready yet?" Old Zhang drooled, watching the fish roasting over the fire. He could already smell the aroma and could hardly resist taking a bite.
Lin Fan smiled. "Don't be impatient. Roasting fish takes time. If you're too hasty, you won't enjoy the most delicious flavor."
"Mmm, mmm."
Just because Old Zhang was hungry, Lin Fan jumped into the river to catch fish. Such friendship was truly touching. Renshen saw a quality in his master that others lacked.
A powerful being, yet without any of the typical arrogance.
Under these circumstances, what powerful being would be willing to do such a thing for a weaker individual? It was unthinkable. But Lin Fan not only did it, he did it with care.
"Alright, let's eat." Lin Fan handed the roasted fish to Old Zhang. "Eat slowly, be careful it's hot, and watch out for the bones. They can get stuck in your throat, and that's very uncomfortable."
"I know."
Old Zhang could hardly wait. He was really hungry. He sniffed the aroma; it smelled so good. He didn't even know when Lin Fan had learned this skill; he had never seen it before.
Renshen said, "I want to eat too."
Lin Fan stroked Renshen's head. "Let Old Zhang eat first. He's hungry."
That seemed a bit unfair. He was Lin Fan's pet. How could he be ignored so cruelly?
Old Zhang grinned at Renshen, as if to say, "The relationship between Lin Fan and me is beyond your comprehension. Of course, he'll let me eat first."
"Renshen, here you go." Old Zhang handed the completely cleaned fish skeleton to Renshen. "It's very flavorful. You can suck on the bones."
Lin Fan praised, "Old Zhang, you're so good. I like how willing you are to share with others."
"It's nothing," Old Zhang said, scratching his head shyly.
He enjoyed being praised by Lin Fan, but every time he was praised, he became shy like a child.
Renshen stared blankly at the complete fish skeleton in front of him, looking at Old Zhang in astonishment, then at Lin Fan with disbelief. Could a human being really do such a thing?
He had just praised Lin Fan for being the most extraordinary powerful being he had ever met.
And this was how they thanked him?
They looked human, but their actions were inhuman.
And Old Zhang's behavior was truly outrageous. What harm would it have done to share a bit of fish meat? He was so stingy. Oh well, Renshen had seen the world. This small matter wasn't worth getting angry over.
At the Special Department...
"Those Starry Sky Clans have indeed taken action. Currently, several thousand people are willing to go to their ancestral lands with them," Master Yongxin reported. The gatekeeper was relatively easy to deceive. Other methods might not work, but when it came to ghosts and gods, everyone was curious. To put it bluntly, they used the guise of ghosts and gods, praising the other party, making them feel flattered and lowering their guard. Then, it became easy to ask anything.
One-Eyed Man stroked his chin, saying meaningfully, "Several thousand people. That's quite a number."
"Of course. They say the end of the world is coming, and many people want to survive. Even if we issue a notice, it won't help. Whether they believe it or not is their choice," Master Yongxin said helplessly.
One-Eyed Man pondered whether to intervene. He believed what the young woman had said. The Starry Sky Clans were luring them over to mine for them.
As for the outcome... there was no need to think too much about it. It would definitely be tragic.
It was very likely they would spend the rest of their lives there, with no hope of returning, until their last bit of value was exhausted, and then they would become one with the earth.
The next day!
One-Eyed Man took Lin Fan to the Alliance High Court.
He didn't dare go alone, fearing he might get beaten up, so he found Lin Fan early in the morning, waiting at the door for him to finish washing up, asking him to accompany him. With Lin Fan by his side, One-Eyed Man felt very safe.
Who would dare touch him?
If they wanted to touch him, they'd have to see if they had the ability.
"Just stay by my side later," One-Eyed Man said. He trusted Lin Fan the most. With him around, he felt very secure. To think that he, the head of the Special Department, would also have times when he was afraid. It was embarrassing.
But there was no other way. The Starry Sky Clans were too powerful and had arrived too early. If their arrival had been delayed, allowing him to improve his cultivation, things would definitely be different.
"Stop." The gatekeeper, who had been tricked by Master Yongxin, stopped One-Eyed Man and looked at him warily. He didn't look like a good person.
One-Eyed Man looked at him without speaking, just staring. The gatekeeper felt uncomfortable under One-Eyed Man's gaze. His strength of thought weakened, and he lowered his head, saying unnaturally,
"Why are you looking at me like that?"
"Move aside."
One-Eyed Man, accustomed to a position of authority, had a cold expression that was a bit intimidating. To the gatekeeper, it was like being stared at by a terrifying beast.
Professional ethics compelled the gatekeeper to stand his ground, but his body was honest, moving aside to make way for One-Eyed Man.
One-Eyed Man walked into the Alliance High Court with Lin Fan.
The gatekeeper looked wronged at their retreating figures, muttering, "What kind of people are they? I didn't even provoke them, and they treat me so badly." But the thought that he, as a gatekeeper, had let them in was a disgrace to his professional career.
"Huh! It seems like someone just went in."
"Mmm... It's an illusion. It must be an illusion."
The gatekeeper comforted himself with self-deception, pushing the incident that had clearly happened to the back of his mind. As long as he didn't admit it, there wouldn't be a problem.
The arrival of One-Eyed Man hardly attracted the attention of the Starry Sky Clan disciples.
But Lin Fan's appearance was a different story.
Many Starry Sky Clan disciples frowned. He was an existence they couldn't handle, too powerful, not someone they could deal with.
"Everyone come out!"
One-Eyed Man shouted, using all his Qi.
His voice boomed like thunder, echoing throughout the Alliance High Court. Mu Hao, who was teaching, was so startled by the sound that he snapped the chalk in his hand. Anger appeared on his face. Didn't they know he was in class?
Who was it?
Damn it.
He had to make them pay.
The students were curious, not knowing what had happened. They all rushed outside.
Outside...
One-Eyed Man believed this was the simplest method. These foolish people actually believed what the Starry Sky Clans said, and what was even more infuriating was that they didn't believe Lin Fan.
Was the Lin God in their eyes so unreliable?
With him here, what was there to worry about?
Soon...
Both the Starry Sky Clan disciples and the students had come out of the classrooms.
"What's going on?"
"Who knows?"
"Someone's being a bit arrogant. Hey, isn't that One-Eyed Man, the head of our Yanhai City Special Department? Whoa, and Lin God! Why are they here again? Could something be happening?"
"Let's just watch."
They were cultivating at the Alliance High Court. Some were very diligent and had made some achievements in their cultivation, developing a sense of belonging to the Alliance High Court. However, Lin Fan's reputation was too great. Yanhai City had experienced many disasters and dangers, but it was because of Lin Fan's existence that these dangers were nipped in the bud.
Mu Hao didn't react much when he saw One-Eyed Man, but when he saw Lin Fan, he didn't even want to speak. Why was it this guy again? He had traveled from afar, and he had suffered many losses, all at the hands of this guy.
He couldn't beat him, so he could only be cowardly.
"What do you want?"
Mu Hao asked. At this moment, when no one dared to speak, his stepping forward was different. It was like a hero's arrival, shining with glory in everyone's eyes.
One-Eyed Man glanced at Mu Hao and ignored him.
"All students of the Alliance High Court, listen up. The Starry Sky Clans are taking you back to their ancestral lands to use you as slaves, sending you to other planets to mine. You will have no hope of returning for the rest of your lives, until you die there."
"Whether you want to go there is your choice."
"But considering we are all Longguo people, I came here to tell you one more time. The choice is yours, but don't regret it later."
One-Eyed Man said calmly.
"Let's go."
He left with Lin Fan. He had said what needed to be said. As for what they chose, that was their business.
Someone shouted, "But the end of the world is coming."
One-Eyed Man turned around and said, "I say it won't come."
"How can you guarantee that?"
"With him here," One-Eyed Man pointed at Lin Fan, "that day will never come." He spoke with firm conviction.
