Best Young Master

The battle at Chi Yue Ridge concluded with the death of the Heavenly Prince, a heavy blow to the entire Demon Clan.

The great battle ended, and the Demon Clan retreated, feeling incredibly humiliated!

They arrived full of confidence, thinking the Heavenly Prince’s action could easily eliminate Ye Fan.

However—

The result was the Heavenly Prince’s death. Although Ye Fan suffered severe injuries, his life was unimpeded and would recover with some rest.

"Ye Zi, I knew you could do it!"

Hu Fei excitedly approached, giving Ye Fan a big bear hug.

"Hehe..."

The Barbarian Shi Ye chuckled foolishly on the side, his messy hair trembling along with him.

"Brother Ye Fan, congratulations..."

Han Sandong and Sikong Po approached as well, and many disciples from the Immortal Academy surrounded Ye Fan as if stars encircled the moon.

Ye Fan’s victory was met with joy by these brothers, each expressing gratitude and admiration towards him.

Among them, many had friends or relatives who died at the hands of the Demon Clan, naturally making them care more about this victory.

"Ye Fan..."

Yaling, Princess Yue Bai, and Ling Ziyuan also came forward. The three distinctive Holy Maidens gathered together, forming a strikingly beautiful scene.

Apart from them, heroic lords from various forces expressed their thanks to Ye Fan, acknowledging his outstanding contribution to the entire Human Race, worthy of their admiration.

"Let’s go, let’s go, don’t ruin Ye Zi’s moment!"

Hu Fei and Shi Ye whispered among themselves, persuading the crowd to leave, leaving space for Ye Fan and the three women, to let him deal with it alone.

"Ye Fan..."

Yaling was overwhelmed with emotion, her eyes filled with deep affection. Ignoring Princess Yue Bai and Ling Ziyuan, she leapt into Ye Fan’s arms, hugging his solid chest, bringing her red lips close to Ye Fan’s lips.

"Mmm..."

In full view, Yaling’s face flushed with shyness, her heated lips pressing tightly against Ye Fan’s, venting the surging emotions within her.

This scene left Princess Yue Bai and Ling Ziyuan completely stunned!

Their eyes flickered with envy, jealousy, and hate as they turned away, not daring to look further.

"Boom!"

Ye Fan’s mind suddenly went blank, as if a suppressed desire ignited like a barrel of gunpowder, responding with a passionate kiss on Yaling’s soft and boneless waist.

"Good!"

"Saintess Yaling indeed is a remarkable woman!"

"Is it a lifetime commitment with a kiss?"

The onlookers jeered, some shouted oddly, others whistled, the entire Chi Yue Ridge in jubilation.

Watching this, the Old Pavilion Master of Treasure Pavilion, Yayun Peak, beamed, silently saying to himself that his precious granddaughter Yaling had finally come to her senses.

Nowadays, good men are hard to find, youth of Ye Fan’s caliber is even rarer, it’s all about acting swiftly, if you’re slow you miss out.

Princess Yue Bai and Ling Ziyuan were just frustrated, youthful modesty causing them to miss a wonderful romance.

However, it wasn’t accidental—Yaling dared to gamble with the young royal demons with her life; they did not have the courage or confidence.

At this moment, the two regretted deeply, feeling powerless as they silently accepted the fact.

Others wanting to marry the clan’s jewel to Ye Fan to bind him to their clan or Holy Land were equally frustrated.

It seemed hopeless; Ye Fan was thoroughly tied to the grand war chariot of Treasure Pavilion, already an immensely powerful force. If they secured Ye Fan, they would remain unshakeable for tens of thousands of years.

After a while, they separated, breathing heavily.

Yaling’s face glowed with an intoxicating reddish hue, her eyes almost dripping with water, her gaze filled with charm and allure.

With the battle concluded, the Demon Clan left, and heroic lords from various Human Race forces also departed, realizing it was impossible to bind Ye Fan to their clan’s war chariot; they could only strive to foster good relations with Ye Fan.

The Saint of the Eastern Domain Sikong Family smiled broadly, recognizing that despite having no jewel to entice Ye Fan, his heir Sikong Po was a close brother to Ye Fan.

Apparently, forming a brotherly bond with Ye Fan could be a viable path, beyond merely seeking marital alliances.

"Would you walk with me?"

Yaling calmed her surging heart, softly speaking to Ye Fan.

Ye Fan nodded, and the pair walked side by side towards the distance of Chi Yue Ridge.

Watching their departing figures, Yayun Peak smiled while stroking his beard, then boarded the Cloud Boat and left. Soon, all those who came to watch the battle departed, leaving the vast Chi Yue Ridge as silent as a graveyard.

Stream water babbled, bird calls echoed in the empty valley, the air filled with a faint, bitter sweet scent. Ancient trees towered, vines twisted like dragons, creating an elegant and serene environment.

Ye Fan and Yaling sat on the clean blue stone by the creek, hugging their knees, neither spoke, afraid of breaking the tranquil atmosphere.

"Splash!"

A golden carp leapt out of the creek, splashing a wave, then disappeared along the stream.

After a long time, it was Yaling who broke the silence first, asking softly, "This time upon your return, when will you embark on Xing Kong Gu Road?"

She knew Ye Fan would never give up this opportunity for refinement.

"Hasn’t the Road of Stars already been opened once? Who knows when it will open again?" Ye Fan replied.

He indeed wished to set foot on Xing Kong Gu Road to temper himself, for his time was limited and he had to quickly enhance his strength.

He could wait, with his current cultivation, living for hundreds of years would be no problem, but can Su Liuli wait?

All along, he held a steadfast belief, that is, gathering all the materials to refine the Soul Gathering Pill to resurrect Su Liuli.

However, five years have passed, and he still hasn’t managed to gather them all. Moreover, he can’t casually return to Earth anymore. With his current cultivation, if he enters the space passage, it will surely incur the grinding of space laws, possibly even directly collapsing the passage, a risk he cannot take.

"The starting point of Xing Kong Gu Road is in the Emperor’s Secret Realm of the Imperial Academy, it shouldn’t be too hard to open."

Yaling said dejectedly, "I also want to embark on the road with you, but grandpa won’t let me go. He says Xing Kong Gu Road is too difficult, the competition is extremely cruel, and with my current strength, I simply don’t have the ability to protect myself. He wants me to retreat, re-cultivate all realms, and strive to cultivate each realm to the extreme. Only then might I have a shred of self-defense capability on Xing Kong Gu Road."

Saying this, Yaling was very unwilling, but she also understood, her grandpa meant well for her. Since Xing Kong Gu Road is said to be the strongest path of trial, those walking on this road are not just cultivators from this planet.

In the vast universe, boundless and endless, humans are not lonely. There are human cultivators on other Ancient Stars of Life, and even some other races also have Supreme Strongmen.

The whole universe, countless Ancient Stars of Life, countless strong people from various races vying for the only opportunity to prove Dao, competition is naturally very fierce.

Those who are not demon-level geniuses can’t possibly make it to the end. Even the strongest young generation on this Ancient Star might die bloodily on the Ancient Road, burying their bones in a foreign land.

Ye Fan didn’t know much about Xing Kong Gu Road, but he understood Yaling’s grandfather had good intentions; the strongest trial road, without unparalleled strength of one’s generation, setting foot is tantamount to seeking death.

"Promise me, no matter what situation you encounter, come back alive, I’ll be waiting for you here!"

Yaling said emotionally, "Perhaps in the near future, I will also step onto Xing Kong Gu Road to follow your path!"

"Don’t worry, I’ll come back alive for sure!"

Ye Fan solemnly promised, for the woman who loved him deeply, for his mother Ling Yun, for his oath, he must come back alive.

Thinking of his mother, Ye Fan’s eyes moistened. It’s been five years, he had never given up searching for his mother for a moment.

Once, he almost brushed past his mother, but ultimately couldn’t meet her, becoming his greatest regret.

Now, he has become famous in the Five Domains. As long as his mother is still in this world, she should know he has come to this world. Even if she doesn’t believe it, she should appear to see for herself.

Yet now, his mother seems to have vanished from this world. Apart from once leaving a trace of aura near the space passage in Xuan Beast Forest, she has never appeared again.

"What are you thinking about?"

Yaling gently held Ye Fan’s hand, asking softly.

"Nothing..."

Ye Fan snapped back to reality, looking at the beauty in front of him, the suppressed desires erupted, and he embraced her in his arms, his lips moving forward to kiss Yaling’s warm and tender lips.

"Boom!"

Yaling was instantly enchanted by Ye Fan’s masculine aura, her beautiful eyes gradually closed, long eyelashes trembling, breath quickened, her heart almost jumped out.

Kissing passionately, Yaling was flushed all over, the whole person softened in Ye Fan’s arms, breathing softly, cheeks blushing, eyes shining, full of spring.

Seeing this scene, Ye Fan almost set up a Formation to battle Yaling in this wild mountain, yet a vague sense of unease arose, as if some great danger was about to descend.

"Swipe!"

Next moment.

The void suddenly cracked open, a man in black holding a slender sword, stabbing towards Ye Fan’s head!
