Accidentally invincible!-Chapter 229 - 226: You Didn’t Lose on This One

Six elderly True Immortals—two have fallen, leaving four. Faced with the terrifying fire-red pig, they are deeply unnerved, their Dao hearts wavering and their states of mind utterly unstable. They have been scared out of their wits by the great horror, a fear far beyond what they’d feel in the face of an ascension tribulation.

Lin Fan never expected the fire-red pig to be so particular.

It would only spare the two of them.

As for the others, it clearly had no intention of letting them go.

Lin Fan pondered.

What exactly should he do?

Leaving them to their fate wouldn’t be impossible—after all, better them than himself. Survival is all that matters.

"Lord Pig, you might not know, but this one here is my wife. My wife is truly kind to my master. After learning that my master’s Divine Soul was incomplete, she begged her father to send a few senior experts to accompany us into the Forbidden Land. Otherwise, with our strength, there’s no way we could have come here."

"Honey, isn’t that right?"

Lin Fan glanced at Huang Lier. Silly girl, what are you spacing out for? I’m saving your lives here. If you keep acting dumb, I really won’t hesitate to part ways with you lot—each of us saying goodbye for good.

The fire-red pig looked down at the group. He had some thoughts about this young lady; she was stunning, her beauty practically made his mouth water. If he could keep her by his side as his Flute Girl and slowly nurture their bond, perhaps it would yield something extraordinary.

But then.

When he heard Lin Fan say this young lady was his wife, the fire-red pig’s heart sank slightly with disappointment.

At the same time, he gained a higher regard for the young woman’s character.

He hadn’t expected it to be this kind of situation.

Lin Fan walked over, and while Huang Lier was still in a muddled daze, he directly wrapped his arm around her slender waist. Then, leaning close, he rubbed his face against hers a few times. "Lord Pig, we’re madly in love; please don’t kill her."

Huang Lier’s entire body stiffened, her slender waist mostly covered by armor, but a hint of snow-white skin was revealed. This sliver of pale skin was gently stroked by Lin Fan—smooth and silky indeed.

The tactile sensation was excellent.

"Mm."

Huang Lier let out a soft response, likely because the current situation made her feel deeply uncomfortable and unable to say much.

The four remaining True Immortal experts lowered their heads in silence, completely motionless. In the face of this unknown terrifying creature, they were utterly fragile.

Any resistance would be futile.

Thus, they remained thoroughly obedient.

At the same time, they placed all their hope on Lin Fan.

Master Lin, save us!

Whether we live or die truly depends on you now.

"Really? Are you sure you’re not lying to me?" the fire-red pig asked.

Lin Fan replied, "Lord Pig, I know words are cheap, and you’re likely feeling skeptical. But actions will serve as the best proof."

Then, Lin Fan held Huang Lier close, tilting her body slightly. "Fairy Huang, don’t blame me."

He leaned in and kissed her.

This kiss might not have been earth-shattering, but it was absolutely steady and tender, deep and genuine—without the slightest exaggeration.

The four elderly True Immortals were dumbfounded.

Master Lin, what guts!

The fire-red pig was itching with curiosity—it had been ages since he’d seen something like this.

"Since that’s the case, I suppose it’s forgivable. You all can leave. The Forbidden Land is not a place for you."

"Go on."

The fire-red pig decided to let them go, which brought relief to the hearts of the True Immortal experts.

Lin Fan’s heart raced wildly.

He’d come to the Forbidden Land hoping to obtain a Divine Medicine, but he hadn’t expected to encounter such danger.

This was beyond his imagination.

If he had known ahead of time, even under the threat of a blade to his neck, he would have refused to enter.

Self-reflection.

It seemed his streak of smooth sailing recently had made him complacent, dulling his vigilance toward danger.

"Thank you, Lord Pig. We’ll be taking our leave now. May you have sweet dreams."

Lin Fan quickly bid farewell. Since the pig was willing to let them go, what more was there to consider?

He had already marked this place as the top location to avoid at all costs.

The Forbidden Land truly lived up to its name.

It could truly take lives.

The fire-red pig watched their retreating figures and said, "Do not come here again. Even if you’re a True Immortal, what does it matter? Many Immortals have perished here."

A shudder ran through the group’s hearts.

So terrifying.

It was the first time they’d heard of Immortals dying here.

Though, given the dangers of this place...

They were certain the pig wasn’t lying—this was probably true.

Outside.

"Lin Fan, you..." Huang Lier wanted to say something to Lin Fan. Of course, it wasn’t to blame him for taking advantage of her, but rather because she felt uneasy not speaking; being taken advantage of publicly made her feel truly...

Unfortunately, before she could finish her sentence, Lin Fan interrupted her.

Lin Fan spoke seriously, "What I did earlier—yes, it involved some risk, but I gambled and won. This unknown terrifying creature is a sentimental and righteous being. The absolute deadlock turned into a bright escape, allowing us to leave the Forbidden Land."

Huang Lier was rendered speechless by Lin Fan’s words.

She wasn’t looking for this kind of explanation.

"Fairy Huang, don’t let the kiss bother you. It was a necessary action. If I hadn’t done that, none of you would have left the Forbidden Land. Besides, that was my first kiss too—so you didn’t lose out."

"To all the seniors present, I trust you won’t hold a grudge?"

Lin Fan looked at the group as he spoke. Being able to justify taking advantage of someone with such upright reasoning was truly impressive. Most importantly, his words were coherent, leaving no room for argument.

Several elderly Immortals said, "Thank you, Master Lin, for saving our lives. We will forever remember this debt. If you ever need anything from us brothers, do not hesitate to ask—we will comply without question."

Thinking about their two fallen comrades...

Their hearts grew heavy and somber.

Such a terrible loss.

True Immortal Realm experts, dead just like that—few would even dare to believe it.

Huang Lier’s expression turned sorrowful, "I never imagined things would turn out like this. No Divine Medicine obtained, and two True Immortals lost their lives inside."

She chose not to dwell on the earlier events.

Everyone understood what had transpired—there was no need to say it out loud.

Lin Fan observed Huang Lier. This little lady still seemed troubled. To him, Heavenly Treasure Pavilion’s stance mattered not in the least. Either way, he wasn’t going to keep courting death.

"Fairy Huang, I advise you to abandon your thoughts of the Forbidden Land. Last time, you were lucky to obtain the Divine Medicine due to a less terrifying Guardian."

"Take this time as an example."

"Had I not come up with a clever plan, we truly would’ve perished inside."

Thinking back to the previous moments, Lin Fan felt a wave of lingering dread.

It really had been terrifying.

An utterly brutal existence.

Even armed with the Four Saints Reversal Set, it might not prevent them from being crushed.

Huang Lier took Lin Fan’s advice to heart. She understood everything he said was true—the Forbidden Land was far too dangerous. Their earlier success had misled them into thinking it wasn’t a big deal.

"Alright, now that things are settled, feel free to seek me out if you need any appraisals in the future. As for entering the Forbidden Land, don’t even mention it. After this experience, I don’t think I’d ever step foot in there again for the rest of my life."

"Take care."

Lin Fan thought to himself—it was better to leave immediately with the three middle-grade Dao Artifacts still in his possession. Since Huang Lier hadn’t mentioned them, he saw no need to bring it up.

So it was best to leave promptly.

Those Dao Artifacts could count as repayment for saving their lives, as well as compensation for his fright.

"Old man, let’s get going."

Lin Fan beckoned the crazed elder, who had relaxed significantly after leaving the Forbidden Land, returning to a carefree state.

As Lin Fan prepared to depart, he glanced one last time at the narrow gorge in the distance.

It appeared enchanting, but upon venturing deeper, one would realize there was no room for choice—everything became inevitable.

Inside, the sensation was...blood surged rapidly, the body stiffened, and sweat poured like rain.

Huang Lier found Lin Fan’s decisive departure surprising. Primarily, the three middle-grade Dao Artifacts were still with him, yet she hadn’t mentioned them. Her silence stemmed from the fact that he had indeed saved their lives.

In terms of both sentiment and logic, she couldn’t bring herself to ask him about them.

A favor owed weighs heavier than the heavens—it must be repaid.

Thus, Lin Fan taking advantage of her earlier didn’t stir her emotions negatively. If not for that moment, they wouldn’t have made it out of the Forbidden Land.

That said...

Three middle-grade Dao Artifacts might not mean much to Heavenly Treasure Pavilion, but they were still immensely valuable. After all, those were three middle-grade Dao Artifacts—they weren’t cheap.

Had Lin Fan voluntarily brought up the topic of the Dao Artifacts...

She could have given him one or two as a token of gratitude—a gift for saving their lives.

But unexpectedly, he hadn’t mentioned the Dao Artifacts once.

And he just left.

This gave Huang Lier the impression that Lin Fan had no intention of returning the Dao Artifacts to Heavenly Treasure Pavilion from the start—not even as a passing thought.

Inside the Forbidden Land.

The fire-red pig repressed the Divine Medicine back into the volcano, guarding it closely while awaiting its maturity.

As for the few creatures that had just appeared...

He hardly gave them a second thought.

To him, these creatures were ultimately weak. His priority now was safeguarding the Divine Medicine so outsiders couldn’t claim it.

...

Lin Fan felt utterly delighted.

Three free middle-grade defensive Dao Artifacts—was there anything more joyful than this? Besides, the current environment seemed unfamiliar; he had no idea where he’d ended up.

But none of that mattered to him.

And he held no guilt over acquiring the Dao Artifacts. It felt perfectly justified—he’d made an effort, after all. If not for his use of the little assistant to decipher the fire-red pig’s notes, they truly would’ve perished there.

He couldn’t understand it.

What was the story behind the Forbidden Land? How could such an imbalanced region exist within the cultivation world, where entry nearly guarantees death for most?

Still, he couldn’t deny its allure—the treasures hidden within were enough to drive anyone crazy.

This time, Heavenly Treasure Pavilion had suffered significant losses. Surely, they’d learn from today’s experience and carefully prepare for their next venture into the Forbidden Land.

Expecting Heavenly Treasure Pavilion to abandon exploring the Forbidden Land...

That would be wishful thinking.

Knowing there’s a mountain of gold right in front of you...

Can you expect anyone to give it up?

No one would believe it.

As for him, Lin Fan, possessing the little assistant meant he didn’t need the treasures inside the Forbidden Land. He could simply find someone to hack away at for gains—why bother risking his life for it? That would be sheer idiocy, and frankly, a bit insane.

Soon.

Lin Fan led the crazed elder away, flying toward the distant horizon.
