Chapter 280 - 265: A Pill from Beyond the Heavens (Part 2)
"Young Master Lin, Misses, please enjoy your meal."
Lin Lang, Lü Su Ran, and Ding Xinrou didn’t hold back and started to eat heartily.
...
After eating and drinking their fill.
Lin Lang and the others relaxed comfortably in their guest room for the whole day.
...
The next day, Lin Lang felt a bit suffocated staying indoors, so he got up and took Lü Su Ran and Ding Xinrou around the Martial God Palace for a stroll.
As they walked, wherever they went, people saw Lin Lang with eyes as if they’d seen the plague, avoiding him and not daring to breathe loudly.
Although many hadn’t seen Lin Lang before, in just one day, his "notoriety" had spread throughout the Martial God Palace—
Everyone had heard that a fierce god had arrived, who killed Elder Chen without a word, and the Palace Master didn’t dare to even make a sound in front of him, letting him act in such a manner in the Martial God Palace.
So, everyone feared and dreaded Lin Lang in their hearts, hoping to stay far away from him and not provoke this calamity star.
...
As they walked, Lin Lang happened to meet the Saintess.
Lin Lang thought to himself, there might have been some misunderstanding yesterday. Although the Saintess agreed, it was probably due to the situation, right? I should explain things clearly to her!
Forcing a woman is something he couldn’t do!
If it were true, what sort of person would he be?
So, Lin Lang approached the Saintess and said:
"Saintess, there seems to have been a misunderstanding about before. I never meant to force you. If you don’t want to, you can just tell me directly."
The Saintess slightly raised her head, looked at Lin Lang with calm eyes, and said in a flat tone:
"If what you said is true, then I can tell you that I don’t want to be with you. After all, we’ve only known each other for a short time and don’t know each other well enough. Making such a hasty decision is just not appropriate."
Hearing this, Lin Lang thought that this answer was within his expectations, after all, she was the Saintess of the Martial God Palace, with her own pride and thoughts; how could she easily agree to be with him?
However, Lin Lang wasn’t disheartened and thought he’d try to tempt her with benefits, so he continued:
"If you follow me, there would be many benefits. I could give you a lot of unexpected good things!"
The Saintess gently shook her head and said:
"I am already the Saintess of the Martial God Palace. Here, I have access to top-class resources. I do not need any additional benefits from you."
Lin Lang listened to her words, yet wasn’t angry; he maintained a gentle smile and nodded, saying:
"Alright, I respect your decision! Matters of the heart should indeed be consensual. Since you’re unwilling, I won’t insist."
...
Suddenly!
A deafening explosion came from not far away, shaking the entire Martial God Palace as if something had exploded intensely.
Upon hearing this sound, the Saintess instinctively glanced in the direction of the noise, her brow slightly furrowed, and said: "It’s a problem from the Alchemy Room!"
Before she finished speaking, several figures rushed like arrows towards the Alchemy Room; their expressions were tense, clearly worried about the situation there.
Soon after, numerous Elders and the Palace Master hurried in that direction, each with hurried steps and anxious expressions.
After all, the Alchemy Room is exceedingly important to the Martial God Palace!
The elixirs produced there are crucial for many martial artists’ cultivation progress. If something goes seriously wrong, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Seeing this, Lin Lang felt a bit curious too, thinking he had nothing better to do, so he followed everyone else to see what was happening.
The Saintess, anxious about the Alchemy Room’s condition, immediately used her body technique, leaping lightly to hurry there.
But Lin Lang, in a flash, arrived beside the Saintess, directly wrapping his arm around her waist and then soaring up with her, flying towards the Alchemy Room like a gust of wind.
"This way is faster."
Holding onto the Saintess’s slender waist, Lin Lang couldn’t help but marvel at the sensation—soft yet resilient.
The Saintess, surprised by Lin Lang’s sudden move, felt her heart quiver, her eyes slightly shifting, and a barely noticeable blush appeared on her face, but she said nothing.
...
The group soon arrived at the Alchemy Room, witnessing a scene of devastation.
The Alchemy Room was filled with smoke, everywhere were tools blown to pieces, and the originally neatly placed alchemy materials were scattered, some still smoldering, suggesting the explosion’s power wasn’t small.
Only to hear the Palace Master standing there, shouting with a pained expression:
"My Realm-Breaking Pill!"
The Elders standing aside looked at this scene, their faces grim, each frowning tightly, eyes filled with frustration and unwillingness.
When they turned toward Lin Lang, their eyes were filled with anger, as if they wanted to devour him alive.
Lin Lang sensed their unfriendly gaze, found it very strange, and curiously asked the Saintess beside him:
"Why are they glaring at me? I just got here, didn’t do anything, why am I getting blamed for this?"
The Saintess was silent for a moment, then lightly sighed and said:
"Father was in seclusion earlier but unfortunately failed to break through his realm. Because of your appearance, your demonstration of overwhelming strength made my father feel an immense threat. He knew he had to quickly enhance his own power to handle unexpected changes, so he urgently attempted to refine the Realm-Breaking Pill to aid his breakthrough. In his haste, eagerness caused failure."
