Chapter 1969 - 1965: A Visitor Arrives
When Xi He and Xuan Nu were summoned to Ye Fan’s side, Ye Fan had already officially acquired Lan Jing. By now, Lan Jing was already wielding Tai Ning, becoming the true chosen one.
Ye Fan did not force Lan Jing to do anything, nor did he need to explain anything to Xuan Nu. Xuan Nu was only Lan Jing’s nominal mother. Ye Fan still did not know under what circumstances Xuan Nu had created Lan Jing, and as the chosen one, Lan Jing undoubtedly had many secrets, which Ye Fan could not explain.
"Congratulations to the master on finding the chosen one," Xi He said respectfully, greeting him with a tone of congratulations.
Ye Fan nodded slightly and said, "Now that I have found the chosen one, the next step is to save the heavenly tribulation and even fight against ancient cultivators. You will stand by my side, won’t you?"
Xuan Nu didn’t speak, as she clearly had hidden matters, while Xi He seemed very calm and said, "Now we have no choice but to stand by the master’s side. Even after the heavenly tribulation, we have to obey the master’s commands."
"I hope so." Ye Fan held Lan Jing’s hand and said, "Later, I will give Lan Jing a major cultivation session. I hope her skills can improve rapidly, for otherwise, it won’t be easy for her to save the heavenly tribulation. As her elders, you should also fulfill your duties."
Xuan Nu seemed a bit angry. She looked at Ye Fan as if wanting to argue with him, but she did not have the courage to do so.
Xi He answered on behalf of Xuan Nu, saying, "Rest assured, master. We will train Miss Lan Jing well, and everything will be done under the master’s supervision without any misconduct."
Perhaps she also knew that Ye Fan did not entirely trust them, so she said this. Ye Fan smiled and said, "As for guarding against you two, that’s not necessary. As long as Lan Jing’s skills can improve, I will trust you with her. But please remember, if you harm her in any way, I will show no mercy. You should understand this clearly, I won’t give up my principles for you."
"Yes, master," Xi He saluted and said.
Ye Fan then said to Lan Jing, "Lan Jing, go train with them now. You need to cultivate according to the ancient cultivator’s method. Your potential for improvement is vast, and you have a mysterious power within you. This power can be channeled to you through Tai Ning, which can provide you with endless strength. In battle, you will need to rely on Tai Ning as well. Go cultivate first, I’ll come back to see you."
"Are you... leaving?" Lan Jing, still elated, felt a bit reluctant when she heard Ye Fan was leaving.
Ye Fan smiled and said, "I still have many things to do, I can’t stay here with you forever. But don’t worry, after we save the heavenly tribulation, we can see each other every day. We will live in a carefree place."
As if longing for a beautiful life, the life Ye Fan spoke of was exactly what Lan Jing pursued. Lan Jing thought for a moment and couldn’t help but smile and nod, "Then I’ll wait for you."
Like a beautiful promise, Lan Jing’s love for Ye Fan was evident. At this moment, Lan Jing only had Ye Fan in her heart and couldn’t accommodate anything else. But Ye Fan couldn’t consider only Lan Jing; he still had many things to do. Finding the chosen one was just the first step.
...
...
Ye Fan handed Lan Jing over to Xi He and Xuan Nu, confident that they couldn’t pull any tricks now.
Because with the impending heavenly tribulation, Xi He and Xuan Nu had to choose between Pan Gu and him; whom to be loyal to. Continuing loyalty to Pan Gu would lead to one outcome: they would gain nothing.
Even Pan Gu, now must fully cooperate with Ye Fan to save the heavenly tribulation. If Xi He and Xuan Nu mess around in this matter, even Pan Gu won’t let them off.
Ye Fan returned to see Li Zhaojun. He was very grateful to Li Zhaojun. Without Li Zhaojun, he wouldn’t have found the chosen one so quickly, and Li Zhaojun even facilitated his and Lan Jing’s affair. Li Zhaojun’s sacrifice in this matter was not small.
"Ye Fan, why are you back? Didn’t you say you’d spend more time with Lan Jing? And help her with cultivation..." Li Zhaojun said.
Ye Fan looked at Li Zhaojun, and then at Min Shang, who walked over with affectionate eyes, and couldn’t help but smile, "I’ve left her with Xi He and Xuan Nu. What I need to do now is let Lan Jing cultivate in the way of ancient cultivators, and I’m not very familiar with their cultivation methods. Only Xi He and Xuan Nu can guide her. Now I want to spend more tender time with you..."
Speaking thus, Ye Fan walked over and gently embraced Li Zhaojun. Li Zhaojun sensed the warmth in Ye Fan’s embrace, which seemed to stir her emotions as well.
"Fan, I know I owe you a lot from before, maybe it’s time to give myself to you." Li Zhaojun said with a very gentle voice.
The gaze of Min Shang beside them was also very sincere. Apparently, Li Zhaojun had already discussed this with Min Shang. Ye Fan smiled and said, "This is actually what I’ve always wanted. Zhaojun, although our wedding was hindered, we will surely live happily together in the future. I also want to formally make you my woman..."
Li Zhaojun raised her head, gave Ye Fan a sideways glance, yet slowly leaned her head over, kissing Ye Fan.
Min Shang also walked over. At this moment, Min Shang seemed to understand Ye Fan’s thoughts better. After all, she had been with Ye Fan for quite some time, and both Ye Fan and Li Zhaojun had nurtured her significantly.
Soon, Li Zhaojun and Min Shang were both in Ye Fan’s arms. Min Shang slowly went down to eventually kneel before Ye Fan.
"Fan, is this okay?" Min Shang raised her head, asking tentatively.
Ye Fan nodded, and Min Shang, having received approval, began her own plans, while Li Zhaojun continued to kiss Ye Fan. After a long while, even Li Zhaojun learned from Min Shang’s gesture and slowly knelt down.
Even though Ye Fan had not had the most direct resolution with Li Zhaojun before, she was no stranger to him anymore. She had previously served Ye Fan closely with Min Shang in another way. Now, Ye Fan once again enjoyed this tenderness. When Ye Fan closed his eyes to indulge in it all and prepared to let Li Zhaojun also become his woman, he sensed a force approaching Earth.
This powerful force was definitely not an ordinary ancient cultivator. Upon getting closer, Ye Fan confirmed that it was indeed Nuwa.
"Zhaojun, it seems we have to delay our matters a bit," Ye Fan gently caressed Li Zhaojun’s cheek and said, "We have a guest."
