Luo Qingyan blinked in surprise. "You mean you still have some useful trump cards up your sleeve? Waiting for that person to show a flaw?"
Lin Ran was also taken aback, then shook his head. "How could that be... Even though I am indeed powerful, I'm not so exaggerated as to fight someone so many levels above me..."
"I mean... uh, do you remember how I described his attack when you were just talking about that annoying guy ambushing you?"
Luo Qingyan rubbed her chin. "Are you saying that even if he went all out, the outcome wouldn't change?"
Lin Ran nodded. "Exactly!"
"I can roughly estimate the limit of his ambush, so there's no need to panic at all."
"I can tell you responsibly that the limit of his ambush is still about a hundred thousand and eighty thousand miles away from my Shenwei's reaction limit."
"So, no matter how hard he tries, he can't get past the emergency escape device that I carved into both of our eyes with the Transcription Seal. We can still go out and mess around as we please..."
"At worst, after suffering his illegal ambush, we'll be teleported back and take a face-plant or a pratfall. It's completely acceptable."
"And even if we take ten thousand steps back, if this guy goes insane and launches an unrestricted, crazy offensive against us, preventing us from even leaving the house..."
"We can also just give up, lie still in the Shenwei space, and focus on making little ones and cultivating. With our talent, plus all the little ones we create in the process, we'll eventually be able to go out and blast him to pieces!"
Seeing Lin Ran's smug face, Luo Qingyan almost spat out a mouthful of old blood. "Look at what you're saying. Does that sound like something a person would say?"
"Hiding in the Shenwei space to make little ones, you've even brought that up!"
"Why don't you just tell me to keep giving birth until I produce a formidable army of tens of thousands and sweep the world?"
Lin Ran laughed heartily. "It doesn't seem impossible, does it!"
"What, want to try it out now, a practical exercise?"
As he spoke, Lin Ran scooped Luo Qingyan up and his hand instinctively reached for her collar.
Luo Qingyan's pretty face instantly flushed. She decisively stopped Lin Ran's indecent behavior and jumped out of his embrace. "It's this kind of time, and you're still in the mood for this..."
"With that lecherous look on your face, you still mock me for having yellow thoughts in my head all day!"
"I think it's better to go out and check the situation now... Even if we can't find any trace of that person, we can at least find some clues and information."
Lin Ran's expression also suddenly became serious. He nodded solemnly. "Although what you just said about going out to find clues is completely meaningless nonsense, we do indeed need to go out and check the situation..."
"Do you remember what you told me earlier about the convergence of endless misfortune?"
"Those twelve hazy stars have reappeared in my sight!"
Luo Qingyan's expression also changed. "You mean those Misfortune Symbiotes? The Misfortune Symbiotes of the Forgotten?"
Lin Ran nodded. "Yes, yes, yes! The one you mentioned..."
"And this time, the feeling they give me is much stronger than when I first saw them."
"Hmm... How to put it... It's like last time was a verbal sparring session when meeting an enemy, but this time it feels like a life-and-death struggle with real swords and guns..."
"At the very least, the pressure I feel from those eighteen grey stars is immense!"
"The death threat contained within is also quite blatant, with no concealment whatsoever."
Luo Qingyan sighed helplessly. "They've still come looking for us..."
"The possessors of these calamitous powers are basically all stubborn individuals, and their methods are increasingly insane."
"Getting involved with these lunatics is rarely a good thing!"
Lin Ran laughed heartily. "What are you afraid of? We have Shenwei anyway!"
"Even someone like that, who can perform a perfect, silent sneak attack and deal fatal damage from the shadows, can't do anything to us. What about those guys?"
"Under the protection of our pupils, we are completely invincible!"
"Afraid of them? Impossible!"
Although Luo Qingyan was annoyed by Lin Ran's smug demeanor, she couldn't find any good counter-arguments, so she could only hum twice and give up. "Then let it be..."
"So, what do we do now? Go out and confront them head-on?"
Lin Ran rubbed his chin and sighed. "Confront who? Who do you think I am, always thinking about fighting and killing?"
"Since they have already backed down appropriately, it means they won't bother us anymore."
"We can just honestly go out and do our own thing."
Luo Qingyan stopped talking and started looking around with her head tilted.
And with just a casual glance, she immediately noticed something extraordinary.
"What is that!"
Luo Qingyan immediately exclaimed.
Lin Ran then remembered that he hadn't introduced Da Tou to Luo Qingyan yet. He scooped Da Tou up from the ground and said with a smile, "Right, let me introduce you. This is the Black Dragon Lord..."
"I can say responsibly that she is absolutely the strongest Black Dragon in existence today!"
"Of course, if it weren't for me, she might even be considered the strongest dragon..."
Luo Qingyan was stunned. "What?! Black Dragon Lord? The strongest Black Dragon? Where did you steal her from?"
"If I remember correctly, in that spatial rift where the Black Dragon alien race exists, the Black Dragon King in the Black Dragon's nest is also among the strongest in the tenth tier!"
"If this guy is even stronger than that, how monstrous must she be!"
Lin Ran then realized Luo Qingyan had misunderstood and smiled. "First, she is indeed the strongest Black Dragon, but that's probably in the future..."
"She's a dragon with a soul contract with me, so her strength is limited by my main body. The limitation hasn't expanded to that level yet."
"But in the future, when my strength has made significant progress, there will be no other creatures soaring in the sky!"
"And even now, I think ordinary tenth-tier powerhouses might not necessarily be a match for Da Tou..."
