Chapter 844: Chapter 844

"What? You're leaving so soon?" Su Qiong looked at the woman, turned her head, glanced at Lin Fan, and bit her red lip.

Her heart was filled with reluctance and a touch of worry.

Lin Fan's current state was very strange. Although he was not in mortal danger, he was floating in the air, surrounded by the blood of the Swallowing Sky Python, enveloping Lin Fan.

There was a vast power shrouding Lin Fan.

"Haha! Are you worried about this man? Su Qiong, don't forget our agreement; you swore on a heart demon. Once you obtained the inheritance, you must immediately return with me to the Sumeru Continent. I promised you that I would take Lin Fan along, but now I'm telling you!"

"Originally, I could have taken Lin Fan, but not anymore!"

"I can explain the specific reason. If you want to blame someone, blame yourself. If you hadn't touched that Family Head Token, I could have easily taken Lin Fan back to the Sumeru Continent and found any sect for him to cultivate!"

"However, because you touched that Family Head Token, it recognized you as its owner. You are now the Family Head!"

"Think about it, if that family learns you've become the Su Family's head and brought a man back from the Divine Wind Continent, do you think Lin Fan would survive on the Sumeru Continent?" The woman sneered repeatedly, looking at Su Qiong with an aloof expression.

Her tone was full of mockery and schadenfreude.

While Su Qiong had gained the position of the Su Family head, she also lost Lin Fan.

This fact made the woman somewhat happy, even excited.

Su Qiong bit her red lips tightly, her pretty face turning pale, lowering her head in silence.

"But the external demons are about to arrive. Lin Fan remaining on the Divine Wind Continent is very dangerous. If he dies, I won't live either. Can you help me? Help me protect Lin Fan. I'm willing to sacrifice anything!" Su Qiong suddenly raised her head, staring firmly at the woman in the void, her gaze unwavering.

"If you agree to help me protect Lin Fan, I can assure you of the promise I made!"

The woman frowned and said coldly, "Su Qiong, is it worth it? Maybe Lin Fan is indeed a rare talent on the Divine Wind Continent, but you must understand that this world is not a well. Lin Fan may be a frog at the bottom of the well, but you are definitely not. You have a wider stage!"

"Once you reach the Sumeru Continent, you'll see that someone like him, an Eighth Rank Ancient Saint at twenty-three, isn't even considered a talent, not even trash!"

"Once you witness the geniuses of the Sumeru Continent, you'll completely forget about Lin Fan!"

"You are still young; the road ahead is long. You and Lin Fan are absolutely not from the same world! You two are ultimately from two different worlds, and he will never catch up to you in this lifetime! Do you understand what I'm saying?"

After speaking, the woman's expression turned even colder.

In her eyes, it was as if she were a city person on Earth, looking down on village folk or savages.

"I don't care!!!" Su Qiong's tone was firm and resolute, "Even if he's a worthless beggar, I still like him!!!"

The woman was amused, let out a cold laugh, shook her head, and looked at Su Qiong with pity, saying, "Alright, it's your decision after all! Once you meet your fiancé, you'll realize compared to Lin Fan, he's insignificant and lowly as dust!"

"Do you agree or not?" Su Qiong looked at the woman.

"Hahaha! Of course, I agree. Protecting an ant requires hardly any effort on my part. Since you've asked, I'll leave a trace of my consciousness to ensure Lin Fan's safety. When the external demons descend, if he's in danger, this trace of my consciousness will intervene to save Lin Fan's life! Now, can you return to the Sumeru Continent with me? This space channel consumes a lot of energy and won't last long," the woman laughed heartily and said.

Su Qiong turned around and took a deep look at Lin Fan in the distance.

As if with that one look, she wanted to etch Lin Fan into her memory forever!

"Haha! Look a few more times, it doesn't matter. After all, for some people, this is the last time you'll see them in this lifetime." The woman chuckled softly.

Su Qiong's delicate body shivered slightly at these words.

Her beautiful eyes filled with tenderness!

She took another look at Lin Fan, and countless memories flashed through her mind!

"Take care, junior brother!"

After saying this, Su Qiong resolutely stepped into the space channel.

The silhouette of the woman in the void also glanced at Lin Fan, gradually blurring and disappearing.

Lin Fan finally awoke from his coma.

The moment he came to, the voice of the Emperor Jade echoed in his mind, "Phew! You're finally awake!"

"Emperor Jade, what happened? How am I unharmed?" Lin Fan asked in surprise, looking around suspiciously, at the same time astonished to discover that his cultivation had progressed, breaking through from an Eighth Rank Ancient Saint to a First Rank Sage Venerable.

"Wait! My cultivation... has also advanced? What's going on... First Rank Sage Venerable! I've reached the Sage Venerable realm!"

"What about the Swallowing Sky Python? Why is it gone?"

Lin Fan was both amazed and overjoyed.

All he remembered was being swallowed by the Swallowing Sky Python.

His whole body was crushed by the Swallowing Sky Python!

In that instant, excruciating pain surged into his mind.

Lin Fan completely lost consciousness.

Once Lin Fan lost consciousness, the connection between him and the Emperor Jade was also severed, so after Lin Fan was devoured by the Swallowing Sky Python, even the Emperor Jade didn't know what happened.

"This... I don't know either, but what is for sure is you're fine now," the Emperor Jade replied.

"Indeed, the Swallowing Sky Python is gone... Wait! Where's Qiong'er? Damn! Where's Qiong'er?" Lin Fan suddenly realized that while the Swallowing Sky Python had disappeared, so had Su Qiong.

"Damn it! Where did Qiong'er go?" ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ N0velFire.ɴet

Lin Fan's eyes turned red as he frantically searched for Su Qiong's whereabouts.

He searched every corner of the cave but couldn't find any trace of Su Qiong, only discovering three ancient-looking boxes.

"Little Fan, don't panic! I can help you see what happened after you passed out," the Emperor Jade transmitted.

"How will you do that?" Lin Fan asked in surprise.

The Emperor Jade explained, "After you reached the Sage Venerable realm, I can connect with your spirit and utilize some mana. Now, lend me your mana, and I can project a time-space vision to see what happened here within the day!"

Lin Fan was surprised but did not refuse the Emperor Jade.

He allowed his mana to be drawn by the Emperor Jade.

A gentle light emerged from the Emperor Jade hanging around Lin Fan's neck.

Images appeared in the void as if a movie was playing in reverse rapidly.
