YM778.TV Chapter 201 - 201 Are You Also So Rough with my Consorts
In the urgent situation, Lin Ran only had time to remind her of this. Then, he suddenly pressed the empress under his body and suppressed his internal energy to an extremely low level.
Almost at the same time, the divine sense swept past the two of them and slashed across Lin Ran’s bulging back like a sharp knife!
The empress was shocked by Lin Ran’s sudden action. She was about to say “how dare you” when she saw Lin Ran close his eyes tightly, as if he was enduring some pain. In the end, she closed her eyes obediently and didn’t make a sound.
At this moment, the two of them were extremely close.
Feeling Lin Ran’s hot breath on her face, the empress didn’t know if she was nervous or something else, but she could clearly feel her heart beating faster.
“Take a deep breath. Don’t be nervous.”
Lin Ran’s voice through gritted teeth sounded in her ears.
The empress hurriedly took a deep breath. Her nose was instantly filled with the smell of Lin Ran’s body. Not only did her heart not slow down, but it even beat faster!
Fortunately, the person’s divine sense only scanned this area for more than ten seconds before it was quietly retracted.
“Phew—”
Lin Ran let out a long breath and lay on the ground. He said softly, “We’re safe, but try not to make a sound. That ship hasn’t left yet.”
When the empress opened her eyes, she realized that Lin Ran was lying down almost beside her. However, thinking of how close the two of them were just now, this distance didn’t seem to be a big deal.
“Are you okay?”
Seeing that Lin Ran’s face was almost covered in cold sweat, the empress couldn’t help but ask worriedly, “Did you catch a cold on the way here?”
“Will a Half-Saint catch a cold?”
Lin Ran smiled and pulled open his collar, revealing something that was as black as ink and as hard and a shield. “After forming a shield, the insects of Mount Sword can disturb the divine senses. It’s just that there aren’t enough of them to cover the two of us, so I can only get as close to you as possible.”
As Lin Ran explained, the shield seemed to melt and flow into his clothes, disappearing without a trace.
The empress revealed a surprised expression. “There’s such a magical species on Mount Sword? Why didn’t I know about it?”
“There’s still a lot you don’t know about Mount Sword!”
Lin Ran sneered. Then, he suddenly pointed at Nanjiang Town at the foot of the mountain and said, “This town is not as simple as it seems. The strength of that divine sense just now was at least at the ninth level of the Grandmaster Realm!”
When the empress heard this, her expression changed slightly. “There’s actually such a high level martial artist in Nanjiang Town? Then won’t we be easily discovered if we hide here?”
“It’s not that easy.”
Lin Ran raised his eyebrows, and a smug look appeared on his sweat-covered face. “My realm is much higher than his. He still has to cultivate for a few more years to discover me!”
Seeing how confident Lin Ran was, the empress couldn’t help but look relieved. However, in just a second, she realized that something was wrong. She frowned and looked at Lin Ran. “What do you mean? Are you going alone?”
Lin Ran didn’t say anything, but his evasive gaze betrayed his thoughts.
The empress immediately looked angry. “Lin Ran! You promised to bring me to find my mother! How can you go back on your word?”
“Lower your voice! Are you afraid they can’t hear you?”
Lin Ran lowered his voice and growled. Then, he looked helpless. “Originally, I wanted to bring you there, but something unexpected happened. Even the people patrolling the periphery are at the peak of the ninth level of the Grandmaster Realm. Who knows if there will be people with a higher realm inside?”
“If I go in alone, I can protect myself even if I’m discovered. But if I bring you along, what if they hurt you?”
“You just think I’m weak!”
The empress replied with a sobbing tone before turning around and ignoring Lin Ran.
However, Lin Ran was also filled with grievances. It was a fact that the empress’s cultivation level was not high. Not only was it easy for her to get hurt if she sneaked into Nanjiang Town, but it was also easy for their whereabouts to be exposed. It wasn’t Lin Ran’s fault that she was weak, right?
However, after knowing her for so long, Lin Ran knew what kind of person the empress was. Although she was a little willful sometimes, she could still weigh the pros and cons.
Thinking of this, Lin Ran comforted her patiently. “Aren’t you here to look for your mother? Since she’s in Nanjiang Town, I’ll definitely think of a way to bring her back. It doesn’t make a difference if you come along or not.”
With her back facing him, the empress didn’t say anything. Lin Ran was about to say something when his eyes suddenly widened. He reached out and pressed the empress into a lying position. Then, he got on the top of the empress without hesitation.
Almost at the same time, another divine sense swept over from another direction!
“It seems that this is the usual process of their patrol. They weren’t alarmed by my sneeze.” Lin Ran thought to himself.
When he came back to his senses, he saw the empress looking at him with tears in her eyes.
The divine sense was lingering nearby, so Lin Ran couldn’t open his mouth to explain. He could only purse his lips and make a helpless expression. Unexpectedly, the empress looked even more terrified.
At the same time, the empress’s fair face quickly turned red. Lin Ran could even feel her increasingly rapid heartbeat… Wait!
Lin Ran’s expression changed. Suddenly, a thought-provoking question popped up in his mind. Why did he feel the empress’s heartbeat?
When he looked down and saw where he placed his hand, Lin Ran’s face instantly turned red!
“I didn’t do it on purpose!”
Lin Ran hurriedly shouted under his breath, but he had no intention of letting go. The divine sense was still lingering nearby, and any movement might alert the other party.
The empress also knew the situation the two of them were in. She silently closed her eyes and turned her face to the side. Only then did Lin Ran realize that not only her face, but even her neck had turned red.
Lin Ran had lived for more than 20 years, but he had never wanted to dig a hole in the ground to hide himself more than now…
Fortunately, awkward moments were always short.
Just as Lin Ran was about to have a physiological reaction, the divine sense was finally withdrawn.
With the danger gone, Lin Ran rolled on the ground and was instantly a few steps away. He took a few deep breaths to calm his restless heart.
“Are you also so rough with my consorts?”
The empress’s voice came from not far away. It was obvious that she wanted to make a joke to ease the awkward atmosphere, but it made the already awkward atmosphere even more awkward.
Lin Ran blushed and didn’t reply to that. He pretended to be calm. “Their defense is too tight. You have to leave immediately.”
“It’s too late.”
The empress suddenly sat up and smiled helplessly at Lin Ran. “I can feel that I’ve been locked onto by a divine sense.”
Lin Ran was stunned. Almost at the same time, he felt a divine sense lock onto him!
