Chapter Forty-Four: The Child's Body Was Broken

  After finishing the fish, Lin Fan got up again to find his way out. He was not willing to die here like this. Having managed to cross over once, he had not yet made a big show of himself in this other world and was not about to leave so easily.

  But as time went on, Lin Fan felt his whole body start to heat up, and the lower part was swollen with unbearable pain. He put down the black giant sword behind him and even put aside the little meat pig in his arms.

  It seems that Ling Meng'er also discovered Lin Fan's abnormality, and she stood up and asked: "What's wrong with you?"

  Shaking his head, Lin Fan didn't dare to mention his physical condition. How could he tell the girl that his lower body was aching and his whole body was feverish? He replied, "I'm fine, don't mind me."

  She let out a soft "oh" and continued to sit down with her eyes closed, too lazy to find an exit. However, gradually, Ling Meng'er began to feel the flames of desire burning within her body, and her face slowly started to turn red.

  Two people with the same problem, both feeling restless and irritable inside, starting to feel stuffy and hot, finally seemingly unable to bear it, the two slowly start taking off their clothes, and their eyes begin to become hazy, slowly walking together, embracing tightly...

  It was unclear how much time had passed when Lin Fan slowly came to, opening his eyes to see the naked girl beside him. Anyone with a brain could guess what had just happened, and he felt a sense of helplessness in his heart because the innocence he had preserved for over a decade was lost in such a situation, and it was all without his knowledge or awareness.

  Taking a glance at the girl beside him, Lin Fan was very clear that Ling Meng'er had already woken up, because the girl's eyelashes moved slightly. He let out a faint sigh in his heart, no matter what, he had taken someone else's body, and should have some explanation, saying: "I don't know what happened to me just now, I lost control for a moment".

  Seeing herself being discovered, Ling Meng'er also didn't continue pretending and suddenly opened her eyes to sit up, putting on her clothes. Her voice wasn't as furious as imagined, but instead said calmly: "It's not your fault, it's those fish."

  Fish?

  After Ling Meng'er's reminder, Lin Fan suddenly understood that everything was caused by the small fish in the water tank. However, even so, he had obtained her virginity after all, and just looking at the bloodstains under the girl's body made it clear.

  "Although it is so, I..."

  "We are all going to die soon, what's the point of discussing these things? I've already forgotten about what happened earlier." Without giving Lin Fan any chance to speak, Ling Meng'er put on her clothes and sat down on a rock, staring blankly at the ground with a dazed expression, lost in thought.

  He let out a faint sigh in his heart, Lin Fan didn't say anything else, raised his head and suddenly saw nine blood-red stone blocks on the top of the cave, pointing to the top of the cave and said: "Really didn't expect it, the top of the cave actually has such strange stone blocks, it's truly rare".

  Upon hearing this, Ling Meng'er suddenly walked closer and looked up at the top of the cave. Her face changed color after one glance, because on the top of the cave there were nine blood-red stone blocks arranged in a circular pattern.

  Lin Fan saw Ling Meng'er's expression was serious, her eyes were fixed on the top of the cave, and she was very curious. Looking at the top of the cave again, the water droplets flowing from the blood-red stone blocks seemed to have been dyed red, dripping down from the top of the cave, like a drop of fresh blood dripping down from the top of the cave.

  Just as Lin Fan was filled with doubts, Ling Meng'er suddenly muttered to herself: "Jiuyou Blood Stone, Jiuyou Absolute Land". The previously dull and lifeless Ling Meng'er suddenly seemed like a completely different person, her entire face filled with joy.

  "Do you know where this is?" Lin Fan was very clear in his mind, although the two of them had fallen from the precipice into the abyss of death, but no matter what, the girl was a Jiuyou tribeswoman and should be extremely familiar with the land of Jiuyou.

  Nodding, Ling Meng'er also didn't hide anything and said: "This is the Nine You Absolute Land, called the Nine You Cave. Legend has it that the ancestor of the Nine You clan once built a cave within the Nine You clan, where the ancestor's lifelong efforts were hidden. However, for countless years, the Nine You clan had searched with great difficulty but couldn't find the Nine You Cave. It turned out that the Nine You Cave was actually located beneath the Death Abyss."

  Ling Meng'er found the Nine You Cave within her clan, seemingly having already forgotten what had just happened. She stared intently at the top of the cave, then suddenly sprang up and carefully stretched out her right hand to touch the blood-red stones on the ceiling. The moment she made contact, she felt a scorching heat and hadn't even had time to study it before losing her footing and falling back down to the ground.

  A hint of disappointment appeared on his face, the entire cave was at least six meters high, and even if he jumped up and down, he wouldn't be able to hold on for long. Under these circumstances, it was simply impossible to study the blood-red stone blocks on the top of the cave.

  It seemed that Lin Fan had seen through Ling Meng's thoughts, and he walked to the side to pick up a black giant sword. He then inserted it heavily into the small pond, the black giant sword was about 2.5 meters long, while Lin Fan was about 1.75 meters tall. Adding the two together, Ling Meng could climb up and study the crimson stone block carefully.

  It's not necessary for Lin Fan to say it, Ling Meng'er has already understood his meaning, and she didn't hesitate much, because as long as they thoroughly study the crimson stone block on the top of the cave, perhaps they can leave this place. More importantly, Ling Meng'er really wants to experience the ancient and unique land within their clan.

  Groping the crimson stone at the top of the cave, Ling Meng'er furrowed her brow, thinking hard. Although she had already recognized this as the Jiuyou Cave, one of the Nine Underworlds' most forbidden places, after all, they were also entering the Jiuyou Cave for the first time, and everything about it was still unfamiliar to them.

  Above, Ling Meng'er was pondering how to open the Jiuyou Cave, while below, Lin Fan had a nonchalant expression. Feeling extremely bored, Lin Fan could only stare at the small fish in the little pond. The water in the pond rippled and gradually, a circular pattern suddenly appeared on its surface. Lin Fan's heart was filled with wonder, thinking to himself, "How did a pattern appear in the water?"

  It seemed that he had thought of something, and he raised his head to look at the crimson stone block on top of the cave. In contrast, Lin Fan discovered that the pattern appearing in the small pool was actually the inverted reflection of the blood-colored stone block on top of the cave.

  "Meng'er, take a look at the small pool," although he didn't know what it represented, Lin Fan still said what he saw. Ling Meng'er, who was intently watching the blood-red stone on the top of the cave, heard Lin Fan's words and instinctively lowered her head to look at the small pool.

  Ling Meng'er bent down to look, and saw that the entire small pool formed a circular blood-colored reflection, identical to the nine blood-colored stones on the top of the cave. Ling Meng'er's body trembled, almost falling off Lin Fan's shoulder. Before Lin Fan could steady her, she had already jumped down from his shoulder.

  She rolled up her pant legs and stepped into the water, and as soon as she did, the circular pattern in the small pool disappeared without a trace. She didn't feel any surprise at all, and Ling Meng'er just stood quietly in the water, waiting for the circular pattern to reappear.

  Before long, the circular pattern that had just dissipated slowly took shape again, quietly floating on the surface of the water. Ling Meng'er aimed carefully and stretched out her right hand to press gently onto the center of the circular pattern.

  Jade-like small hands passed through the water surface and stretched downwards. What was strange was that this time, the circular pattern on the water's surface did not immediately dissipate, and the entire pattern remained quietly floating on the water's surface.

  The water was very shallow, and Ling Meng'er's small hand touched the bottom of the water. The place where her hand touched felt like there were nine protruding small stones, perfectly fitting into her palm. Her heart suddenly filled with joy, because Ling Meng'er knew clearly in her mind that she had finally found the opening mechanism of the Jiuyou Cave.

  Similarly, it was the nine blood-red stone blocks. Ling Meng'er didn't hesitate at all, and pressed down on the palm of her hand that was holding the nine blood-red stone blocks with great force. However, there wasn't any unusual movement as she had imagined. Her eyes narrowed, and Ling Meng'er looked foolishly at the surface of the water, staring at her own palm at the bottom of the water, unsure what was going on.

  It seemed that she was not resigned to it, Ling Meng took out her right hand, and the circular pattern on the water surface disappeared instantly. However, she did not lose heart, waiting for the pattern to re-condense, Ling Meng's small hand stretched towards the center of the circular pattern again, finding the nine protruding red stones at the bottom of the water again, and pressed down hard again, still without any movement.

  Ling Meng'er seemed to have gotten into a stalemate with the small water pool, trying again and again, not afraid of failure at all. Time had passed unknowingly, and Ling Meng'er had already tried for the ninth time, her heart also starting to feel some annoyance. When her right hand pressed down on the nine protruding stone blocks again, Ling Meng'er still pressed down fiercely.

  The entire cave was silent, except for the sound of dripping water and Lin Fan's heavy breathing. Just as Ling Meng'er thought she had failed again, she suddenly heard a loud, piercing creaking sound, like the opening of a door.

  Overjoyed, the two looked towards the sound of the opening door. Behind the water curtain, what was previously a solid stone wall had slowly opened up to reveal a brand new passageway in front of them.

  As they gazed at the suddenly opened stone gate, both of them felt a thrill in their hearts, and also had a sense of survival after a narrow escape. They thought they were doomed to die, but unexpectedly, they arrived at the Jiuyou Absolute Land and even successfully opened the stone gate of the Jiuyou Cave.

  Neither of them said another word, Lin Fan turned around and picked up the little meatball on the ground, passed through the water curtain, and stepped onto a brand new path. This was a path that couldn't be seen at a glance, with smooth walls on both sides, and the entire path was extremely dark, as if only the shadow of the path could be barely seen.

  The two walked very cautiously, who knew if there were any mechanisms or hidden weapons in the Jiuyou Cave. Soon, the two reached the end of the passage again, and a ray of bright light shone in from afar. From a distance, it seemed that the end of the passage was a large stone chamber. They looked at each other, and Lin Fan could see a joyful surprise in Ling Meng'er's eyes.

  But thinking about it, Ling Meng'er being a Jiuyou clan member, and this being the Jiuyou absolute land, no one has been able to discover it for countless years. Ling Meng'er suddenly finding her own clan's Jiuyou absolute land is not surprising, Lin Fan was actually happy for her too, after all their current relationship was ambiguous, although Ling Meng'er didn't say anything, but Lin Fan had already considered her his woman.
