Chapter 166: Are You Kidding Me?

Mie Qiongqi followed Lin Fan, his little heart pounding.

Fear and nervousness filled Mie Qiongqi's heart; he had no idea what the Sect Leader intended to do.

He wanted to run away, but as soon as he caught a whiff of the Sect Leader's unique aura, Mie Qiongqi lost his nerve.

Mie Qiongqi desperately wanted to know why he was afraid of this man, but no matter how hard he racked his brains, he couldn't figure it out.

At that moment, Lin Fan felt a surge of joy, as if he was about to reap some great reward, which was quite exciting.

Inside the room.

Lin Fan and Mie Qiongqi stared at each other. His deep, sinister gaze seemed to see through everything, making Mie Qiongqi extremely nervous.

"Sect Leader, is there something you need?" Mie Qiongqi asked cautiously.

Being alone in the same room with the Sect Leader reminded him of the scene in the secret chamber—a scene he never wanted to experience again. It was miserable, painful, and unbearable to recall.

"Come on, hit me..." Lin Fan spoke, and his words instantly left Mie Qiongqi dumbfounded.

What the hell does that mean?

"Hit me with one-tenth of your strength." Lin Fan said again, seeing Mie Qiongqi's bewildered expression.

Now that he had this high-level Little Heaven realm disciple, it would be foolish not to make good use of him.

The "Indestructible Demon Body" had not leveled up much since he started cultivating it.

Lin Fan had made up his mind: he wouldn't leave the mountain peak until he raised the level of the "Indestructible Demon Body."

"Sect Leader, I dare not, I'm afraid..." Mie Qiongqi said fearfully. He couldn't imagine how the Sect Leader would retaliate if he actually struck him.

Seeing Mie Qiongqi's timid demeanor, Lin Fan grew irritated. He looked around as if searching for something.

"Sect Leader, what are you looking for?" Mie Qiongqi asked.

"I'm looking for a whip. If you don't hit me, I'll whip you." Lin Fan said coldly.

"No, I'll hit you." At the mention of "whip," Mie Qiongqi's heart nearly broke.

"Good, hurry up. One-tenth strength." Lin Fan urged. With Mie Qiongqi's high-level Little Heaven realm cultivation, one-tenth strength should be enough. If he used too much power, he might actually kill the Sect Leader.

Mie Qiongqi's heart ached. He had seen many people, but never someone who asked to be hit.

Now this Sect Leader, who was abusing himself, wanted to be struck. Mie Qiongqi could only muster his courage and act.

"Come on." Lin Fan prepared himself. Whether the "Indestructible Demon Body" could level up depended on this.

"Sect Leader, here I come." Mie Qiongqi raised his palm and struck Lin Fan's chest.

Lin Fan watched the incoming palm and rejoiced inwardly. Come on, come on! Let the experience points, like a tidal wave, wash over me!

Mie Qiongqi's palm was like a dragon plunging into the sea—fierce and mighty, with a surging momentum. Though a bit slow, Lin Fan found it quite impressive.

"Ding! Congratulations, 'Indestructible Demon Body' experience +10."

Lin Fan smiled, waiting for the experience to grow. But at that moment, the measly ten points left him dumbfounded.

Mie Qiongqi shrank back, cautiously patting Lin Fan's chest with one palm after another.

"Ding! Congratulations, 'Indestructible Demon Body' experience +10."

...

Lin Fan, who had been excited, now narrowed his eyes, a sharp glint flashing within them as if he wanted to kill Mie Qiongqi.

"Are you kidding me?" Lin Fan asked calmly, his voice flat.

But that calm voice sounded like demonic echoes, earth-shattering, to Mie Qiongqi's ears.

In that calm aura, Mie Qiongqi keenly sensed a dangerous vibe—a vibe of unsatisfied desire.

"Sect Leader, I was wrong. I'll use real force now, one-tenth strength." In an instant, a fierce aura erupted from Mie Qiongqi.

The once-ordinary palm seemed to pierce through layers of void, slamming into Lin Fan.

"I..." Lin Fan, about to speak, was suddenly struck by the palm. He flew backward violently, a mouthful of blood spraying through the air.

"Ding! Congratulations, 'Indestructible Demon Body' experience +300,000."

"Sect Leader..." Seeing Lin Fan fly off, Mie Qiongqi's face turned white with fear. He had actually made the Sect Leader spit blood! What kind of cruel punishment awaited him?

"Excellent..." At that moment, Lin Fan spun in the air and landed steadily, a hint of joy on his face.

"Good, keep hitting me like that." This time, Lin Fan truly felt the thrill of experience gain. The "Indestructible Demon Body" might level up thanks to Mie Qiongqi.

Mie Qiongqi looked at the Sect Leader's somewhat eerie expression and couldn't help but shudder.

What was wrong with the Sect Leader? Why did he want to be hit? And why did he seem to be enjoying it?

Could it be... could it be...

Mie Qiongqi dared not think further. Everything seemed dangerous to him.

But since the Sect Leader wanted him to keep hitting, he had no choice but to comply to avoid angering him.

"Sect Leader, watch out." This time, Mie Qiongqi struck again.

"Ding! Congratulations, 'Indestructible Demon Body' experience +300,000."

...

"Hit faster." Lin Fan steadied himself, taking one palm after another.

"Yes." Mie Qiongqi nodded, then struck out with both palms. In an instant, only afterimages could be seen in the air.

At that moment, Lin Fan felt as if he was about to ascend. Everything was happening so fast, it was almost overwhelming.

...

Halfway up the Nameless Peak.

The sky was gradually getting dark.

Zhang Er Gou had the little junior sister riding on his head, with Feng Yijue following beside them.

"Little junior sister, what did you talk about with Sister Yulan today?" Zhang Er Gou asked.

The reason Zhang Er Gou and the others could go to Jialan Peak was mainly because of Lin Fan. If not for him, they would probably have been thrown out as soon as they entered.

Cai Zhiqiao, riding on Zhang Er Gou's head, blinked her sparkling eyes. "Nothing much. Sister Yulan just said that senior brother is very handsome and that she likes him a lot."

Zhang Er Gou, who had been casual, suddenly changed expression and stopped in his tracks.

His incredulous look quickly turned into ecstasy, and he lifted the little junior sister down.

"Little junior sister, is what you said true?" Zhang Er Gou felt that happiness had come too fast.

Zhang Er Gou had a good impression of Yulan, but he knew his place. Still, being able to see her sometimes was a kind of happiness for him.

Cai Zhiqiao reached her tender little hand into the small backpack in front of her and pulled out a gift from the senior sisters of Jialan Peak—a small bronze mirror.

"Senior brother, you can see for yourself." Cai Zhiqiao held the bronze mirror upright in front of Zhang Er Gou with her little hand.

Zhang Er Gou didn't understand what she meant. He looked at his reflection in the mirror and couldn't help rubbing his chin.

"I do look kind of handsome." Zhang Er Gou muttered to himself.

Feng Yijue stood by the side, feeling utterly exhausted.

Cai Zhiqiao blinked, then carefully placed the bronze mirror into her satchel and climbed back onto Zhang Er Gou's head.

"Little junior sister, do you think senior brother is handsome?" Zhang Er Gou asked.

"I don't know." Cai Zhiqiao said innocently.
