Chapter 120 The Peerless Martial Goddess Comes Seeking the Dao; One Cup of Divine Tea Shatters Her D
The "god-level" renovation project of the courtyard house was completed in just one day thanks to the hard work of Lin Fan's group of enthusiastic employees.
The entire courtyard has been completely renovated, yet it exudes a rustic charm that has been stripped of its former glamour, without the slightest hint of nouveau riche ostentation.
The golden courtyard walls gleamed with a warm, soft glow under the sunlight.
If one does not look closely, one will not be able to tell that it is made of golden bricks from the divine realm.
The rainbow bridge path at the entrance only reveals its dreamlike, shimmering nature when the night is deep and quiet or when energy is surging.
Normally, it is just a colorful cobblestone path that has been polished to an exceptionally smooth finish.
Everything perfectly aligns with Lin Fan's philosophy of a "low-key, luxurious, and sophisticated" retirement life.
Lin Fan was very satisfied with this.
In the following days, the alley finally returned to its former tranquility.
No more foolish ninjas, mages, super soldiers, or gods came to bother us.
Lin Fan returned to his leisurely life of drinking tea, reading newspapers, and rocking back in his recliner.
That afternoon, Lin Fan was lying next to the "World Tree" bonsai in the yard, resting with his eyes closed.
After growing for some time, and nourished by the energy emanating from the Celestial Palace Gold Brick and Rainbow Bridge Crystal, the sapling has grown to over a meter tall, and its branches and leaves have become much more lush.
Mysterious runes flowed slowly on the emerald green leaves, emanating a life force that transformed the entire courtyard into a natural oxygen bar, where one could feel refreshed with just a breath.
Lin Fan casually plucked the tenderest leaf, flicked it with his fingertip, and the leaf spun and fell into the purple clay teapot on the stone table next to him.
The freshly brewed tea is steaming hot.
A delicate fragrance, capable of penetrating to the bone marrow, permeated the air.
"Mmm, this is still the most comfortable."
Lin Fan stretched and felt that this was the life he wanted.
At that moment, without even lifting his eyelids, he simply spoke in a low voice.
"Aiolia, there's someone at the door. Let her in."
Upon hearing this, Leo Aiolia, who was standing guard at the main gate, paused.
His gaze, sharp enough to see through the movement of atoms, swept outwards, only to discover that a figure had been standing quietly at the corner of the alley.
That's a woman.
A woman dressed in a white training uniform, her posture upright like a pine tree.
She had a cool and aloof demeanor and was extremely beautiful, but her eyes carried a sharp, piercing light that made people afraid to look directly at her.
Aiolia could sense that this woman possessed a considerable power within her.
This power is naturally vastly different from that of the Saints, but among mortals, it is definitely among the top powerhouses.
What surprised him even more was that the woman seemed to have been standing there for a long time.
So long that even his senses, as a Gold Saint, almost overlooked her.
She blended seamlessly with her surroundings, revealing not the slightest fluctuation in her presence.
This control over one's own power has reached a state of perfection.
Aiolia opened the courtyard gate and said to the woman in a deep voice, "The master wants you to come in."
Upon hearing this, a subtle ripple appeared on the woman's usually aloof face.
She nodded slightly to Aiolia, then stepped into the courtyard.
She was Fang Qingxue, the eldest daughter of the international martial arts family "Dragon Group," whom Lin Fan had met a few days ago.
That day, after witnessing firsthand the terrifying scene of Lin Fan shattering supernatural abilities with a single punch and crushing an entire mercenary group with a flick of his finger, she was plunged into a long period of shock.
She did not leave the capital, but stayed in the vicinity, observing and waiting silently.
She wanted to visit Lin Fan again to explore the ultimate secrets of so-called Chinese martial arts, which were beyond her comprehension.
But she didn't dare.
She could sense that the courtyard house was like an ancient dragon lying in wait, and that if she rashly entered, it would likely bring about utter destruction.
In particular, in the past few days, she has personally witnessed the "miracles" of Thor descending and the Rainbow Bridge spanning the sky.
She knew that something extraordinary had happened in this seemingly ordinary courtyard house, something she could never have imagined.
Only today has that energy fluctuation that once shook heaven and earth finally subsided.
After much hesitation, she finally mustered the courage to walk to the entrance of the alley.
But she still didn't dare to knock on the door, and just stood there quietly, waiting for a vague "opportunity".
Unexpectedly, before she could do anything, the owner of the yard had already discovered her.
With a sense of trepidation, almost like a pilgrimage, Fang Qingxue entered the courtyard.
The moment she saw the scene inside the courtyard, her Dao heart, which had long been tempered to the point of being calm and still, was once again stirred up into a raging storm.
What did she see?
That wall… that wall was actually made of pure energy crystals! The flowing patterns of laws on it made even her, who had already touched the threshold of martial arts, tremble in her very soul!
That road… that road was even more outrageous! Just standing to the side, she felt her spiritual power being torn apart, purified, and reshaped by an invisible, dissipating energy!
And that little tree... The life essence emanating from that tree was more than a hundred times purer and richer than the "ancient tree of life" in her family that had been passed down for thousands of years!
Fang Qingxue felt that her brain was a bit overwhelmed.
She thought she had already imagined Lin Fan to be exceptionally great.
But now it seems that it wasn't an overestimation, but rather that my imagination was far too limited.
She forced herself to calm down, suppressed her surging blood and qi, and walked step by step to the man lying in the chair.
She suppressed all her pride and aloofness, and bowed deeply to Lin Fan.
"Mr. Lin, I apologize for disturbing you, but I have come to... seek your guidance."
Her voice was clear and crisp, yet it carried a slight tremor that she herself was unaware of.
Lin Fan slowly opened his eyes, looked at the woman in front of him who was stunningly beautiful but looked extremely nervous, and smiled faintly.
"Seeking the Dao? I don't have any Dao here. I'm just a retired old man who drinks tea and reads the newspaper."
He pointed to the stone bench next to him.
"But since you're already here, you're a guest. Please sit down and have a cup of tea."
As he spoke, he picked up the purple clay teapot on the table and poured a cup of tea with a bright green luster and a unique fragrance into the cup in front of Fang Qingxue.
Fang Qingxue's gaze fell on the cup of tea.
She could sense that this seemingly ordinary cup of tea contained a powerful energy that made her heart pound.
She knew this cup of tea was anything but ordinary.
This is both a test for the other party and an unimaginable opportunity.
She did not hesitate.
She picked up her teacup and bowed respectfully to Lin Fan once again.
Then, drink the tea in the cup in one gulp.
The tea is sweet and refreshing upon tasting.
next second.
boom--!!!
An indescribable torrent of life erupted within her, its power far surpassing the birth and annihilation of stars!
