Chapter 351: A Little Girl with High Ideological Awareness
The Ultimate System · 第351章 思想觉悟很高的小女孩
"Boss, are you alright?" At this moment, Sha Dulong and the others were somewhat worried when they saw their boss move. The battle just now had been too intense; they feared he might have been knocked senseless by it.
In their eyes, that battle was so formidable that they might never witness its like again in their lifetime.
It was a heaven-defying battle, an inhuman battle.
What kind of existence was their boss? With a wave of his hand, heaven and earth shattered; he was already immeasurably powerful.
Han Mei and her companions had collapsed to the ground, utterly dumbfounded.
As a member of a great clan, Han Mei had broad horizons, but the battle before her had left her completely disoriented.
Even the mere pressure had shattered her spirit.
"I'm fine. Did you all see clearly? This is the supreme way of robbery. Even that fellow who thought himself heaven got robbed by me and left an arm behind. Your path ahead is still long." Lin Fan calmed his mind.
That battle just now had truly shaken heaven and earth and moved the gods to tears.
Sha Dulong and the others nodded involuntarily, deeply convinced by their boss's words, and their confidence in the way of robbery soared.
It was as if a bright road lay open before them, welcoming them to walk it to the end.
"We saw clearly, boss. We will uphold the way of robbery and carry it forward." Sha Dulong and the others said.
"Good." Lin Fan nodded with satisfaction. No matter what, his path was not lonely.
Now Lin Fan approached Han Mei. He had no intention of doing anything to these people.
The battle just now had already tempered his excited mood.
Han Mei looked at Lin Fan before her, her heart suddenly tense. In her eyes, this man was a terrifying existence.
"M-milord." Han Mei lowered her head humbly, daring not to act presumptuously.
If earlier she had felt some resistance to being robbed, now she had no such thoughts at all.
Lin Fan was too terrifying in her heart—a terror that bred despair.
"We only rob, not kidnap. You may go." Lin Fan waved his hand.
"Yes, yes, thank you, milord." Han Mei quickly nodded in agreement.
She harbored no schemes against such a person; someone of his power was beyond her reach.
"Pull open that black cloth and let me see what's inside." Lin Fan said.
"Milord..." Han Mei hesitated. The contents were not good, but she feared this man might suddenly take pity and release the person inside, ruining their efforts.
"Our boss told you to open it, so open it. Why so many questions?" Sha Dulong stepped forward irritably and yanked the black cloth aside.
When he saw what was inside, Lin Fan frowned slightly.
"Milord, this person is wanted by Tianhai Pavilion. We were just delivering her." Han Mei said.
Lin Fan said nothing and stepped forward to examine.
Inside the prison cart was a little girl, about seven or eight years old. Her eyes flickered with terror, as if she was very afraid of Lin Fan, and she curled up in a corner.
"Eh..."
Then Lin Fan noticed a pendant around the girl's neck and felt a surge of joy.
"Supreme Token Fragment."
Lin Fan hadn't expected to see another fragment. He already had three; with this one, that would make four.
There were only six Supreme Token Fragments in total.
If he gathered them all, he could fuse the Supreme Token.
"Come here." Lin Fan beckoned to the little girl.
The little girl seemed very afraid of Lin Fan and remained curled up, motionless.
"Milord, she's just an ordinary child..." Han Mei timidly stepped forward.
"Shut up. No nonsense." Lin Fan snorted coldly. I'm talking to the little sister; what are you interrupting for?
Trembling at Lin Fan's rebuke, Han Mei dared not say another word.
Seeing Han Mei rebuked, a glimmer of hope flickered in the little girl's helpless eyes.
"Are you with them?" the little girl spoke.
"No." Lin Fan said.
Hearing this, the little girl slowly approached Lin Fan.
Her tattered clothes showed she had been living poorly.
When the little girl reached him, Lin Fan grabbed the pendant around her neck.
"Don't..." the little girl cried out, her small hands clutching the pendant tightly. "Don't take it."
Lin Fan frowned slightly.
Damn, this is a bit tricky.
I'm a being of supreme cultivation, unrivaled in the universe. I can't just snatch a child's belongings.
"Little brat, don't be rude..." Sha Dulong shouted angrily when he saw the girl refuse to give it up.
"Step aside. Don't talk." Lin Fan glanced at Sha Dulong.
Seeing his boss angry, Sha Dulong obediently stood aside, not daring to say more.
"Little sister, this item is very important to me. I'm not the type to take by force. Let's make a fair trade. Whatever you ask, I'll help you accomplish, and the price is that pendant around your neck. Fair, right?" Lin Fan coaxed the little girl like a big bad wolf.
The little girl, already seven or eight and gradually maturing, stared at Lin Fan with helpless eyes, then fell into thought.
"Are you strong?" the little girl asked.
"You kid, my boss..." Sha Dulong started to speak when the little girl doubted his boss, but a look from Lin Fan silenced him.
"You shut up." Lin Fan glanced at Sha Dulong. Damn, when did he become such a chatterbox? Then, with a smile, he said, "Little sister, I'm quite strong."
The little girl looked at Lin Fan, then nodded. "Okay. Help me take revenge, and I'll give this to you."
"Alright, no problem." Lin Fan nodded without hesitation.
After hearing the little girl's request, he felt it wasn't a big issue.
But the little girl's background was indeed tragic.
Her entire family had been slaughtered over a cultivation technique.
Her father was the head of a small sect who had fortuitously obtained a technique called "Heaven and Earth Five Thunder Palm."
Lin Fan wasn't particularly interested in that technique, so he didn't press further.
Still, he had to admit it was a rather clichéd story.
The little girl's enemy was the master of Tianhai Pavilion.
"Little sister, do you want to destroy the sect or just kill one person?" Lin Fan asked casually.
"I only want to kill him. The others are innocent; I won't hate them." the little girl said.
Lin Fan looked at her in surprise. Impressive, this little girl had high ideological awareness.
She had the potential to be a protagonist.
