Chapter 814: This Act Is Over the Top

In the void.

"Chick, don't say big brother doesn't look out for you. These freshly looted pills are all for you."

Lin Fan vanished into the void and headed toward the dragon clan camp. The storage rings of the ten thousand ancestral dragons contained quite a few pills.

But these pills were of little use to Lin Fan; even if he swallowed them, they wouldn't increase his experience much.

For Chick, however, these pills were a real treat, and he munched on them with relish.

Crunch, crunch!

Chick lounged leisurely, a pile of pills before him, crunching away with great delight.

"You damn chicken, don't just spend all day popping pills. When we get to the dragon camp later, if you sense any of them have a deep bloodline connection with you, you must latch onto their leg tightly and act as pitiful as you can, got it?"

Lin Fan said very seriously at that moment.

Whether this attempt succeeded depended on Chick.

Though he had a bit of a grudge with the dragon clan, that was in the past.

Besides, he hadn't killed the Tenth Prince or anything; he had only converted him.

"Cock-a-doodle-doo!"

Chick nodded, crowed once, then went back to popping pills. Chick's three freak sons were also overjoyed, crunching pills with immense pleasure.

Lin Fan sensed a power brewing inside Chick—the power from the ten thousand ancestral dragons' pills.

But what surprised Lin Fan was that Chick and his three freak sons had consumed so many pills without showing any sign of exploding, as if they could swallow any amount without consequence.

"Chick, take it easy. Don't blow yourself up," Lin Fan warned kindly.

Chick shot Lin Fan a glance, and the look in his chicken eyes struck Lin Fan as somewhat off.

It seemed to say, "None of your business. I'm having a great time popping pills."

Lin Fan got angry. This chicken had grown bold, acting so cocky. But just as he was about to teach Chick a lesson, he suddenly sensed several auras rapidly approaching ahead.

"Damn, they're coming back for me. I'm perfectly safe now. No, I have to act more miserable. Acting miserable might earn me extra points, maybe even some sympathy."

"Chick, stop popping pills and get back into the cave heaven now."

Without waiting for Chick's agreement, Lin Fan tossed him and his three freak sons into the cave heaven.

Then Lin Fan punched himself hard, spitting out three mouthfuls of blood. He rubbed his hands together and smeared blood on his face and clothes.

Next, he circulated his internal energy, causing his skin to crack inch by inch.

Chaos!

Lin Fan even controlled the Heavenly Earth Divine Pill to throw his own energy into utter chaos, teetering on the brink of explosion.

After finishing, Lin Fan looked at his condition and nodded with satisfaction.

"Mission accomplished. I look miserable enough now."

Lin Fan was quite pleased with his handiwork, but to enhance the effect, he tore his clothes to shreds, as if he had been through a fierce battle.

The show begins!

Lin Fan counted silently in his mind, then his relaxed expression suddenly turned deathly pale. His body wobbled and staggered through the void.

With every sway, Lin Fan coughed up a mouthful of blood.

…

"Shenwu, there's someone ahead." The Dragon Ancestor God gave the order. The Primordial Ancestral Dragon followed Shenwu Dragon Queen to the rescue. In an instant, they spotted a figure in the distance, swaying as if about to fall at any moment.

"It's him." Shenwu Dragon Queen's heart trembled at the sight of that figure, and she unconsciously sped up.

Lin Fan, propping up his shattered body, saw the figures ahead and let out a pitiful low cry. His body trembled, swayed, and began to fall downward.

Seeing this, Shenwu Dragon Queen grew anxious and accelerated, turning into a rainbow streak that caught Lin Fan.

"This scent... so fragrant."

At that moment, held in Shenwu Dragon Queen's arms, Lin Fan felt that as a man of towering stature, he shouldn't be cradled by a woman.

But thinking it was all an act, he got used to it.

Feeling himself held, Lin Fan struggled to open his eyes. His once dull gaze suddenly flickered with a glint of light. His teeth, stained red with blood, were completely crimson.

"It's you..." Lin Fan's voice was very soft, but the meaning carried a hint of relief and ease.

Pfft!

Lin Fan turned his head slightly and spat another mouthful of blood onto Shenwu Dragon Queen's chest.

He had already lost count of how many times he had stained her chest with blood.

After spitting that mouthful, Lin Fan pretended to pass out.

"What's wrong with you?" Shenwu Dragon Queen looked at the human in her arms. His aura was chaotic, and the energy inside him seemed like a wild beast trying to break free.

"Let me take a look." The Primordial Ancestral Dragon stepped forward, grabbed Lin Fan's arm, and sent a divine thought into his body, frowning slightly.

"What's wrong with him?" Shenwu Dragon Queen tried to keep her composure, but worry showed in her eyes.

He was clearly her enemy, yet Shenwu Dragon Queen felt as if something had gently stirred her heart.

This feeling was extraordinarily strange.

"It's serious. His energy is raging, the Heavenly Earth Divine Pill is cracking. The situation is dire," said the Primordial Ancestral Dragon.

"Please, Ancestral Dragon, help him. This human has shown me kindness, and I, Shenwu, don't want to owe him a debt," Shenwu Dragon Queen urged, making up an excuse.

The Primordial Ancestral Dragon looked at Shenwu Dragon Queen and shook his head. "There's a trace of the ten thousand ancestral dragons' aura inside him. Even I can't remove it. Only the Dragon Ancestor God could, but even if that aura is cleansed, his nearly shattered Heavenly Earth Divine Pill would be hard to repair."

Shenwu Dragon Queen frowned, then immediately flew toward the dragon camp.

Lin Fan lay in Shenwu Dragon Queen's arms, listening to her heart pounding.

Lin Fan felt something was off.

This act was meant to boost his standing with the dragon clan, nothing more.

Just then, a thought struck Lin Fan.

He was so handsome and charming, and the expression he had just shown was genuine.

Though Shenwu Dragon Queen was a formidable female dragon warrior, decisive and ruthless, she was also a maiden whose heart had never been touched.

Could his little performance just now have caught Shenwu Dragon Queen's attention?

This... this...

"Maybe not. Perhaps I'm overthinking it. I'll wait and see. If I'd known, I wouldn't have gone to such trouble. A slightly injured act would have been enough."
