Chapter 856 Proposal
"what happened?"
Lin Fan stepped forward, grabbed Mandala's shoulder, and asked softly.
“Once upon a time… I suffered unimaginable pain every moment, and dreamed of returning to the ancient celestial palace and merging with my original body…”
"But when that day actually came, I didn't have the courage..."
As she finished speaking, Mandala slowly closed her eyes, a look of pain on her pretty face.
Lin Fan understood that she was afraid of touching her old wounds!
The ancient celestial palace is where Mandala was born and grew up. The Heavenly Emperor treated her like a teacher and a father, and she had an extremely happy time there.
Afterwards, the extraterrestrial evil race invaded, and the powerful figures of both sides engaged in an earth-shattering battle, which led to the destruction of the ancient heavenly palace.
As one of the few who escaped, sending Mandala to the ancient celestial palace ruins would undoubtedly trigger the deepest painful memories in her soul, which is quite cruel!
Lin Fan tightened his arms around her, his face full of tenderness as he pulled her delicate body into his embrace.
"The past cannot be changed, but the future can..."
"No matter what happens, I will always be by your side. The Heavenly Emperor wouldn't want you to live in the shadow of the past forever. I will face it with you..."
Lin Fan's tone was extremely gentle, as if a warm breeze was blowing.
Mandala felt as if a warm current had been injected into his body. He leaned tightly against Lin Fan's chest, feeling extremely safe and at peace.
"Hmm... I'll be happy wherever I go with you..."
Mandala nodded gently, uttering a dreamlike sound.
"But if we both leave, who will manage the Dragon Domain?"
Mandala suddenly seemed to remember something, and lifted her head from Lin Fan's embrace to ask seriously.
The Dragon Domain has just completed its integration, and the submission of other forces is largely due to Lin Fan and himself. If neither of them were present to oversee things, some might develop disloyal intentions!
Although the chances are slim, it's still something we should be wary of.
"Let Zhan Taiming take charge."
Lin Fan thought for a moment and then answered.
"he?"
Mandala frowned upon hearing this: "That old fellow has dominated the Northern Realm for over a thousand years. Before you appeared, his strength and ambition were the strongest, and unifying the Northern Realm was his lifelong wish!"
"If you hand over the entire Dragon Domain to him, aren't you just throwing a piece of fat meat into a dog's mouth?"
For over a thousand years, Mandala and Zhan Taiming had been locked in a power struggle, and in her eyes, the latter was a cunning old fox. She couldn't understand why Lin Fan would make such a decision.
"Um... he'll be my father-in-law from now on. As long as he's not completely out of his mind, he shouldn't do anything outrageous..."
Lin Fan scratched his head somewhat awkwardly, and then recounted the whole story about Zhan Tai Liuli.
"So that's how it is... Hmph, no wonder you spared that old guy's life before!"
Mandala snorted coldly, a hint of jealousy appearing on her pretty face.
Although the kidnapping of Jiuyou was done by Lingtong Huang, the mastermind behind it was Zhan Taiming!
He knew Lin Fan's personality all too well. He was easy to talk about in other matters, but anyone who dared to touch his woman would undoubtedly suffer a miserable fate, and even death would become a luxury!
But Lin Fan didn't kill Zhan Taiming in his anger at the time, and it turns out there was this connection!
"Are you...jealous?"
Looking at Mandala's expression, Lin Fan couldn't help but chuckle, and gently pinched her pert little nose with his finger.
"No way... You have so many women around you, if I were jealous I'd be furious!" Mandala pouted and brushed Lin Fan's hand away with a hint of disgust.
She herself was somewhat dazed. Not long after meeting Lin Fan, the two of them reached an agreement.
Lin Fan helped her retrieve her original body from the ancient sky and merge with it, while he offered his body in return.
This was an absolutely advantageous deal for Mandala at that time, because her heart was completely filled with hatred, and her body was just a shell to her!
But now the situation is different. Under Lin Fan's influence, her heart, which had been sealed by ice, gradually opened up. She was no longer the cold and aloof domain lord, but instead became a delicate little girl!
In the past month, Mandala has shed more tears than in the previous thousands of years combined, and each time it was because of Lin Fan!
The thought of this made her furious. She grabbed Lin Fan's hand and bit it hard!
"Ah... why does it feel so good?!"
Lin Fan felt like he was being bitten by a cute little kitten, experiencing both pain and pleasure.
"Damn pervert!"
Mandala realized that her punishment was actually a reward for Lin Fan. She stomped her foot angrily, turned her head away, and ignored the guy.
News of the emergence of the ancient celestial palace spread like wildfire across the Tianluo Continent, and countless top powers were eager to make their move.
At this very moment, Lin Fan arrived at the Divine Palace, which is the headquarters of the Original Divine Pavilion.
After the consolidation of forces, the Divine Pavilion became part of the Dragon Domain, just like the Nine Nether Palace had been before.
"I am deeply sorry for not welcoming you properly, Lord of the Domain!"
Zhan Taiming immediately came out to greet him, accompanied by Zhan Tailiu. The latter had her head down, looking shy and unnatural, and she didn't dare to look at Lin Fan.
"Father-in-law, there's no need for such formalities. From now on, we're all family. I'm here today to propose marriage."
Lin Fan said with a smile.
"what?"
Upon hearing this, Zhan Tai Liuli couldn't help but cover her mouth and exclaim in surprise, her pretty face instantly turning bright red!
Lin Fan had made a promise to her before, but he didn't expect it to come so quickly!
"This is a Breakthrough Pill that I refined. My father-in-law's current strength is at the level of a half-step Upper Earthly Sovereign. As long as he takes this pill, he will definitely be able to step into the Upper Earthly Sovereign realm."
"Now that the ancient sky has been revealed, I will soon be going there with Mandala. I'll leave the matters of the Dragon Realm to my father-in-law..."
Lin Fan tossed a jade bottle to the bewildered Zhan Taiming, who was overjoyed after realizing what was happening, his body trembling with excitement!
"Thank you, Lord of the Domain. I, Zhan Taiming, swear to serve the Dragon Domain to the death, even at the cost of my life!"
Zhan Taiming sincerely swore that any resentment he harbored had been completely eliminated!
He was also very perceptive; after greeting Lin Fan, he left, leaving the two of them alone.
"Liuli, it's been so long, have you missed me...?"
Lin Fan slowly stepped forward to Zhan Tai Liuli and gently took her small, jade-like hands in his.
"I……"
Zhan Tai Liuli blushed and stammered for a long time before she could speak.
Although she and Lin Fan had consummated their marriage, they had spent far too little time together, and she was not yet ready to fulfill the role of Lin Fan's wife.
"We're husband and wife now, so there's no need to be nervous. I'll be staying at the shrine for the next while we get to know each other better..."
Lin Fan smiled slightly, then picked up Zhan Tai Liuli in his arms without saying a word and strode quickly into the main hall...
