Legend of the Heavenly God
Ch. 215 ~ Gift For Lan Lihua
Some time passed after General Rui Yun secured the medicinal pill, he immediately summoned his bodyguards to then give the order of gathering troops.
Not there, he also summoned his five best snake commanders who each had a level of strength above Heaven Hermit.
After Tan Hao slaughtered those who intended to overthrow his rule overnight, now every order is no longer rejected.
There were only three snake elders left who had not been cleared, but the three people were not in the palace of general Rui Yun.
Tan Hao wanted to take care of the three people with his own hands but Fen Fang gave another suggestion, in the short discussion they had. Fen Fang volunteered to complete the task alone while Tan Hao was asked to return and help Lan Lihua in addition to also preparing for the departure towards the Seven Golden Spear sect.
Fen Fang was very confident when making that request, Tan Hao himself understood the wish of the owner of the Demon Flute.
Before going to use the dimensional portal, Tan Hao advised Fen Fang not to overdo it and only killed the three people. In addition, Tan Hao asked Fen Fang to secure the three snake-men's spirit core.
"Well, you find out about what's on you. To be honest, I felt my life was in danger when it was close to you! This was different when I sensed the presence of Sheng Long in the form of the heavenly god sword. Although I don't know what it is, but so far as I can tell you, it's related to your sword one more time..." Fen Fang looked seriously at Tan Hao for a few seconds before turning his gaze to the dimensional portal in front of him.
"... Ever since you managed to become a saint fighter, that sword seems to be getting more aggressive. I was afraid something bad might happen to you, while Sheng Long was not sure when he would come back. That's it, go ... I'll be back before sunrise."
Tan Hao just kept silent without trying to answer, what Fen Fang said was indeed true, but at this moment the more important thing was to immediately return to Lan Lihua. It was not that Tan Hao did not think about it but indeed he believed that his father's relics were unlikely to endanger his life.
"All Grandpa! I get it, I'm leaving...!"
Fen Fang smiled for a moment as Tan Hao leaped into the dimensional portal, a moment later his countenance returned a cruel grin as he turned around, "It's time to take the remaining head and return victorious!"

Lan Lihua was sitting by the window while her gaze was directed out, she was observing people who were beginning to move but her gaze was as if blank.
"It's been a day and you haven't come back yet, what exactly is she doing?" Lan Lihua seemed to be talking to herself while holding her chin up.
"Calm down, Mr. Tan Hao must have something important to do. Preferably, miss breakfast first," said Ying Yue walking over while carrying a tray filled with food.
Beside him, Bao Jia accompanied while observing Lan Lihua from behind. His eyes were dazzled by Lan Lihua's appearance.
"Is he a person who has influence in the association? It's gorgeous!" whispered Bao Jia who replied to Ying Yue's cynical glare.
"Be careful with your attitude if you don't want to get into trouble!"
Lan Lihua immediately turned her head when Ying Yue answered her concerns, but it made Bao Jia even more fascinated when she saw Lan Lihua's face, until her expression made Ying Yue smile forcibly before Lan Lihua.
"Miss Yue...! Did you say anything before you left? I feel like my body is better, we should have to continue the journey. Can Miss Yue tell me where you're going?" lan Lihua asked as she got up from her seat then approached Ying Yue while she ignored Bao Jia.
Ying Yue shook her head softly, "I don't know where Young Master Hao has gone, but it's possible that he'll be back soon. Considering your health is still problematic, of course he will return as soon as possible. Nevermind ... Just trust him, now take breakfast first...."
"... Oh yeah...! This is Bao Jia, the swordsman from the association that Miss Fen Lian sent to lead the guard in this city," Ying Yue continued to introduce Bao Jia after putting a tray filled with food on the table.
Lan Lihua looked at Bao Jia with a smile but only for a moment before then taking a seat.
"Greetings Miss Lan Lihua...! I'm Bao Jia, the head of the association forces for Shaoguan City. Nice to meet Miss Hua...!" Bao Jia saluted then gave a small jade box.
"It's a little gift from me for our first introduction! I hope Miss Hua is willing to accept this token of friendship," Bao Jia's friendly attitude made Ying Yue snort bitterly, as this was the same treatment she had when she first met him.
"Thank you Mr. Bao Jia...!"
Lan Lihua did not even look at the given thing and just placed it on the table, Bao Jia smiled wryly at the cold response of the woman who she thought had a prettier face than Ying Yue.
"You gave such a small gift to Miss Hua? Did you underestimate him? It's not even better than the gift you gave me!" clumsily Ying Yue tried to melt the awkward atmosphere while taking a seat.
Bao Jia just chuckled while Lan Lihua enjoyed her tea expressionlessly.
For a while the three felt awkward but after going through a few conversations, now they had started getting used to each other.
Light jokes while enjoying breakfast became the first thing Lan Lihua felt after leaving Foshan City. Meeting and getting to know new people while eating food and sharing stories makes her feel better than ever.
Wheat bread in hand accompanied by a cup of tea makes them dissolve in the conversation. Lan Lihua looked quite enthusiastic, but her eyes did not show any interest in the language.
Bao Jia is quite smart to play the word, it makes him quite cool to be a joking friend.
"Somehow, I, who was a second-rate swordsman, became the leader of this task. Though there are still many more qualified seniors, is it possible because I am too handsome, haha haha...!" Bao Jia laughed crisply while holding the wheat bread.
It was true that Bao Jia was a handsome male figure and possessed capable strength, according to Ying Yue he was a great man whom he knew from the association. The few days always together made him like Bao Jia but he was aware of his position which was higher than that of the Wind Hermit-level swordsman.
"Besides you being too confident in your good looks, you're also the type of guy who talks a lot! Maybe that's why Miss Fen Lian gave you this mission, haha!" sahut Ying Yue with a slightly forced laugh.
"Haha so you want to say that Miss Fen is tired of my behavior? Hahaha it might be like that but at least I am not a woman who demands a lot of salary hahaha...!"
Lan Lihua smiled faintly hearing the two of them fighting over the line. Sometimes he looked at the two who seemed compatible according to him.
"Sounds, there's something interesting here? Can I join you?"
Bao Jia instantly held onto his sword when suddenly there was someone crouching in the window of the room while throwing a wide smile.
"Who are you? So presumptuous...!" pekik Bao Jia while standing unsheathed his sword.
The face of the person is not too visible because the window of the room is where the sun gives its light.
Ying Yue narrowed her eyes trying to see more clearly amidst the morning sunlight, while Lan Lihua immediately stood up from her seat.
"Sister...! You were so long ago, I almost got tired of waiting for you...!"
Lan Lihua ran over a little then hugged the person who directly descended from the window.
"Haha Hua'er looks like your body has gotten better! How you feeling? Does it still feel bad?"
Ying Yue quelled her curiosity as the figure stroked Lan Lihua's hair, "Here you go, lower your sword. He is not a bad person, but vice versa!"
Bao Jia was surprised to hear Ying Yue's statement, "What do you mean this man has power here? I've never heard of anyone higher than you!" he complained while he put his sword back.
"Hm ... Even higher than Miss Fen Lian! Just so you know, Miss Lan Lihua is his wife, so be prepared for your attitude, uh hehe!" sindir Ying Yue chuckled lightly while enjoying the tea.
