Not only Ning Hongtao, but all the Ning Family members around the square were stunned.

"Lin Fan... how... how did you do it?" Ning Ruoxue looked incredulous, her beautiful eyes full of surprise: "The Little Pagoda is a sacred artifact of our Ning Family, it's been here since the first generation of our ancestors, for billions of years, no one has been able to move it. How did you manage to take it away?"

"Yes! Young Master Lin... I... I know your divine skills! Please, Young Master Lin, have mercy and return the Little Pagoda to our Ning Family!" Ning Hongtao's old face was full of loss and heartache.

This was the Ning Family's Little Pagoda!

The younger generation of the Ning Family almost all entered the Little Pagoda to cultivate.

Now.

Lin Fan took away the Little Pagoda in one fell swoop, what will the Ning Family do in the future?

"Young Master Lin, as long as you are willing to return the Little Pagoda to our Ning Family, we guarantee that the items in the Ning Family's treasury are yours to take!" Ning Hongtao gritted his teeth and spoke with determination.

In the Ning Family's treasury, there are two plants each of hundred million-year-old medicinal materials a year, and remember the five hundred million-year-old medicinal materials.

These things, in the Sumeru Continent, are definitely rare heavenly materials and earthly treasures.

"Who said I took the Little Pagoda away?" Lin Fan shook his head lightly: "This isn't taking it away, it's devouring! Just a moment ago, the Little Pagoda was devoured by my Xuanyuan Sword, completely assimilated, how could it be taken out again?"

Lin Fan shook his head.

It's not that he doesn't want to take it out, but how can something that has been devoured be taken out again?

"What?"

"Devoured?"

"How could it be..."

The faces of Ning Hongtao and the other Ning Family members turned extremely unsightly.

After a long while, they accepted this fact.

"Forget it... just consider that I owe your Ning Family a favor, you can come to me if there's anything in the future." Lin Fan touched his nose, feeling a bit embarrassed, after all, Ning Hongtao and the others invited him to enter the Little Pagoda to cultivate, and Lin Fan instead took the Little Pagoda away.

It was a bit excessive.

However.

To allow the Xuanyuan Sword to evolve, Lin Fan was determined to take the Little Pagoda.

On the other hand, it was Ning Hongtao who first promised Lin Fan he could take the Little Pagoda, so Lin Fan couldn't be blamed for this.

"Is Young Master Lin's words true?" Ning Hongtao's eyes brightened.

"It's true!" Lin Fan nodded.

"Great!" Ning Hongtao was overjoyed, the earlier sadness and regret in his eyes completely disappeared, replaced by excitement, making Lin Fan doubt if this guy was ever truly sad?

Ning Hongtao was indeed truly sad.

However, now that Lin Fan promised to help the Ning Family in the future, Ning Hongtao was genuinely happy.

This way, it truly meant that the Ning Family and Lin Fan were tied to the same ship!

Moreover.

There was also the relationship between his daughter and Lin Fan!

"Hahaha! Great! It's wonderful! Somebody, set up a banquet! Set it up quickly!! With the highest standards!!! This Family Head wants to entertain Young Master Lin well." Ning Hongtao was ecstatic.

Soon.

The entire Ning Family was filled with joy and celebration.

At the banquet, Ning Hongtao drank a lot, drunk and very happy.

"Everyone, from today onwards, Young Master Lin is part of our Ning Family! Daughter, you must treat Young Master Lin well!" Ning Hongtao laughed heartily, raising his wine cup and downing the fine wine in it in one gulp.

"Dad... you... what are you saying!" Ning Ruoxue stomped her foot shyly.

Lin Fan just shrugged, casually eating the delicacies on the table.

He didn't mind.

Let things develop with Ning Ruoxue, if they could, it wouldn't be a problem to accept Ning Ruoxue.

If things couldn't develop, it didn't matter either.

Lin Fan now had completely let go of the idea of fate with women.

He already had so many confidantes, having a few more or less didn't matter to him, anyway, Ye Yilin held the highest place in his heart now.

Other women, were a bit inferior.

After the banquet ended.

Almost everyone in the Ning Family was drunk.

Including Lin Fan, who was also tipsy.

This wasn't ordinary wine but spiritual wine, even cultivators shouldn't drink too much.

"Lin Fan, I'll help you back to your room." Ning Ruoxue, her pretty face flushed, supported the drunken Lin Fan, heading in the direction of her boudoir.

"What are you doing?"

The Divine Phoenix walked over, looking at Ning Ruoxue with a hostile expression.

"Lin Fan's drunk, I'm just helping him back to rest." Ning Ruoxue didn't back down either, although her pretty face carried a smile, there was an undertone of confrontation in their tone.

"Hehe, I'm his woman, even if someone were to help him back, it should be me. Who are you to him?" The Divine Phoenix sneered.

"I am..." Ning Ruoxue's face turned bright red: "I'm his friend, can't a friend look after him? Moreover, this is my home, I'm also the host, Lin Fan is the guest, so what's wrong with me taking him to rest?"

Ning Ruoxue said, ignoring the Divine Phoenix.

She directly supported Lin Fan, heading towards her boudoir.

The Divine Phoenix followed closely, entering Ning Ruoxue's boudoir together.

After Ning Ruoxue placed Lin Fan on her bed, the Divine Phoenix's graceful body flashed, directly climbing up and lying beside Lin Fan, looking at Ning Ruoxue with a smug face, as if saying, "What can you do to me?"

"Lin Fan can rest here, sure! But, I want to rest with him."

Lin Fan is her man, so the Divine Phoenix dared to act unscrupulously.

The Divine Phoenix didn't believe it, Ning Ruoxue dared to climb up too.

However.

The Divine Phoenix seemed to underestimate Ning Ruoxue.

"Hmph! Who's afraid of who!" Ning Ruoxue snorted lightly, her pretty face reddened, her heart beating wildly, and she too climbed onto the bed, laying down on Lin Fan's other side, resting her face on Lin Fan's chest.

"You! Shameless!" The Divine Phoenix glared at Ning Ruoxue.

"Hehe, I don't mind telling you, I just like him, what about it?" Ning Ruoxue giggled, tightly hugging Lin Fan's arm.

"Even if you like Lin Fan, Lin Fan won't like you!" The Divine Phoenix coldly retorted.

"That might not be the case!"

"Who says it's not? Lin Fan and I have been through life and death together, what have you and he experienced? You almost got him killed!"

"That wasn't my fault, I later apologized and admitted my mistake! And the perpetrator has been punished, now Lin Fan is lying in my boudoir!"

"This is your scheme!"

"Yet you're from the Demon Clan, in fact, you should thank me, if it weren't for me telling Lin Fan about you being thrown into the vanguard death squad, do you think Lin Fan would have gone to the Heavenly Demon Continent to save you? If Lin Fan hadn't gone to save you, how could all these things have happened? So, you should thank me!"

"You're being unreasonable!"

...

While the two were quarreling.

In Lin Fan's mind, he was completely awake.

"Pfft! Hahaha! Little Fan, interesting! So interesting, two women are fighting over you? Hahaha!" The Emperor Jade couldn't help but laugh.

Lin Fan was helpless: "Ahem! I didn't mean for it, there have always been conflicts between Huang'er and Ruoxue... because of the Void Moth affair, Huang'er is still angry."

"Hehe! Serves you right, who told you to be a philanderer, now you're in for it!" The Emperor Jade giggled.

"It is quite good! You see, I'm the biggest winner here! Enjoying both sides, this kind of blessing even ordinary people can't enjoy?" Lin Fan retorted.

The Emperor Jade was momentarily speechless.

"Get lost! You shameless rogue!"

After saying this, the connection with Lin Fan's divine sense was abruptly cut off.

The Emperor Jade decided to avoid seeing whatever eye-burning events might happen next.
