Invincible Young Master in the City

Pan Gu didn’t care about the life or death of Xuan Nu and Nuwa. Given his status and position, he had reached the level where he could rule the entire universe, and in his eyes, everyone and everything were as insignificant as grass.

Now he was more concerned with soothing Ye Fan’s emotions, so when Ye Fan proposed to use Nuwa’s life as a bargaining chip, he agreed without hesitation. This was something Ye Fan hadn’t expected; he didn’t anticipate Pan Gu to be so heartless and unprincipled.

"Ye Fan, you’ve got your answer now, can you leave?" Pan Gu asked. "You can go find Nuwa, and if she indeed kidnapped Xuan Nu, I promise you that Nuwa’s life is yours to deal with as you wish. I absolutely will not interfere, nor will the ancient cultivators interfere."

Ye Fan scrutinized Fu Xi and said, "Now that Senior Pan Gu has spoken, I wonder what Senior Fu Xi’s opinion is?"

Fu Xi appeared very indifferent and said, "Pan Gu has already spoken, what more can I say? Ye Fan, you’d better not push your luck, if you keep giving me trouble, let’s see if I’m willing to agree to this matter!"

"You must agree whether you want to or not!" This time, Xi He spoke, seemingly intending to provoke Fu Xi. "Fu Xi, you’re just too incompetent, you can’t even protect your own woman; what kind of man are you? Nuwa always wanted to help you, but now it seems everything she’s done was just wishful thinking. She might as well leave everything alone and let you fend for yourself!"

"Hmph!" Fu Xi sneered without saying much more.

Ye Fan said, "Let’s not put the seniors in a difficult position. Whatever promise they make shows their sincerity. Since they’ve shown sincerity, I won’t press them too hard, especially since I want to maintain harmony with them before the Heavenly Tribulation."

At this moment, Fu Xi harbored intent to kill Ye Fan, but managed to maintain a calm demeanor. On the contrary, Pan Gu, who had always intended to kill Ye Fan, allowed Ye Fan’s words without consequence.

"Ye Fan, don’t be arrogant. Do you think your cultivation level is necessarily higher than Nuwa’s? I doubt you can subdue Nuwa. If you can’t, and she ends up killing you, we won’t offer any assistance!" Fu Xi said.

Pan Gu gave Fu Xi a glance, shook his head with a smile, and said, "You won’t, but I will. Ye Fan, don’t listen to Fu Xi, he doesn’t have the authority to decide this matter; it’s all up to me to decide!"

At this point, Fu Xi seemed resigned, thoroughly disillusioned with Pan Gu, and he didn’t comment on Pan Gu’s words. But Ye Fan sensed that Fu Xi felt a deep despair, as if his last glimmer of hope for Pan Gu had collapsed. Pan Gu could no longer gain Fu Xi’s support.

Ye Fan said, "I need to find Nuwa before the Heavenly Tribulation. Since both seniors have entrusted Nuwa to me, I must thank them first!"

After speaking, Ye Fan actually performed a ceremonial bow of thanks, which made Fu Xi even more angry, though he said nothing. As for Pan Gu, he certainly wouldn’t stop Ye Fan and allowed him to leave with Xi He.

...

...

Nuwa hid somewhere in the universe. In her view, as long as she didn’t show herself, Ye Fan wouldn’t be able to find her. She was most worried about Ye Fan, as she knew her cultivation level wasn’t much different from Ye Fan’s. Ye Fan’s power had even surpassed hers, and while Pan Gu and Fu Xi perhaps wouldn’t kill her, Ye Fan certainly wouldn’t spare her.

"Give it up." said the imprisoned Xuan Nu, feeling very unwilling. "No matter what you want to do, I won’t help you. Why bother making things difficult for me? Or you might as well kill me straightforwardly."

Nuwa said coldly, "Xuan Nu, have your ambitions completely disappeared? Do you actually accept being a human’s slave?"

Xuan Nu shook her head, "You know very well that with our status, having ambition is meaningless. Pan Gu and Fu Xi are like two mountains pressing down on us. To think we can surpass them is simply impossible. What makes you think I can achieve my ambition? Being second to them among ancient cultivators, you should relate even more deeply."

Nuwa’s tone remained cold, "Indeed, as you said, I do feel this helplessness, but our ambition is not entirely unachievable. The best method is to unite with one to suppress the other!"

"Is this why you’re loyal to Fu Xi?" Xuan Nu appeared somewhat incredulous, "I didn’t expect you would deceive Fu Xi for your ambition. In fact, Pan Gu is your real target, right? You’re now cooperating with Fu Xi only to weaken the strong by allying with the weak. Poor Fu Xi, who always thought you were loyal to him."

Nuwa fiercely said, "You don’t need to judge my loyalty to Fu Xi, it’s better you focus on yourself!"

Xuan Nu said, "I don’t need to focus on myself, because as long as you don’t kill me, Ye Fan will come to save me. Although I offended him and he rarely appreciates me, there’s something about him that’s much better than Fu Xi; he takes responsibility for the women around him. When a woman beside him is in trouble, even if that woman doesn’t hold much value to him, he will protect her. It’s his sense of mission; do you have such a sense of mission? Or does Pan Gu and Fu Xi have it?"

"Human nature restricts them from becoming the universe’s supreme rulers; this isn’t a human advantage, you shouldn’t see these as advantages!" Nuwa said, closing her eyes.

Xuan Nu sneered, "You deny it, but deep down, it matters to you, right? Nuwa, you’re too arrogant. Deep down, you long for human traits; you’d like to be an unburdened and peaceful woman like me. But since your man isn’t responsible, you claim humans shouldn’t have these advantages... Haha, you’re the biggest joke in the world. Let’s say, as soon as Ye Fan rescues me, your mentality will crumble, because you know what you truly desire. It’s not to rule but to have a man who truly loves you. Unfortunately, Fu Xi isn’t that man!"

"Shut up!" Nuwa, very angry, said, "Xuan Nu, you have no right to teach me; as an ancient cultivator, you can’t possibly harbor emotions!"

"I have emotions, not just for myself, but for my daughter and for Ye Fan. What can you do about it?" Xuan Nu said proudly.
