Chapter 1944: Chapter 1940: Please Forgive Me
Nuwa still wanted to kill Ye Fan, but she was also wary of that sudden power. As for Fu Xi, he persuaded her to let Ye Fan leave, preventing a showdown between Ye Fan and Nuwa.
"You want to let this human boy go? That’s like raising a tiger to court future problems," Nuwa said sharply.
"Whether or not it’s raising a tiger, we need him to save the Heavenly Tribulation. What meaning is there to killing him now? It’s better to wait until after the Heavenly Tribulation; there are only two days left. Do you think Ye Fan will make a huge breakthrough in just these two days? I think you can put your worries aside and wait for the battle in two days. Then, I won’t oppose you and Pan Gu dealing with Ye Fan, because his mission will be over..." Fu Xi said.
Ye Fan coldly said, "It seems I’m just a pawn for you to use. You’re already plotting how to use me to deal with the Heavenly Tribulation and then kill me."
Nuwa said, "You’re lucky to keep your life now; that’s my mercy on you. Do you really think you can escape my pursuit?"
In his anger, Ye Fan attacked Nuwa directly. This time, Nuwa didn’t need to initiate; Ye Fan himself launched the attack. Nuwa sneered; she seemed convinced by Fu Xi’s words, and her figure vanished instantly, as did Fu Xi’s. With Ye Fan’s cultivation, even if he knew the general direction Nuwa went, he couldn’t truly track her. He could only watch them both leave.
This left Ye Fan somewhat annoyed because he didn’t think his cultivation was inferior to Nuwa’s. He even wanted to engage in a desperate battle with Nuwa.
But unfortunately, neither Nuwa nor Fu Xi gave him this chance.
At this moment, Ye Fan didn’t want to stay there either. He wanted to return to Earth to see Li Zhaojun. Not having seen her for a long time, he also wanted to know how she was, why she disappeared, her cultivation matters, and the wedding between them that had yet to be completed...
...

After leaving, Fu Xi didn’t go with Nuwa but went back to see Pan Gu.
When Fu Xi met Pan Gu in the Pan Gu Secret Realm, Pan Gu was observing the situation on Heavenly Peak Mountain. With his cultivation, he could easily enter Heavenly Peak Mountain, but he didn’t. He was still looking for some ancient remnants.
"Has Ye Fan gone?" Pan Gu asked.
"Yes, Nuwa didn’t trouble Ye Fan any further. Ye Fan even wanted to fight Nuwa in the end. I think the boy has become a bit arrogant. He’s starting to act beyond our control. It’s best to find a way to solve this nuisance. Perhaps you’re right; we shouldn’t let him continue to challenge us ancient cultivators. After he’s done with the Heavenly Tribulation, we should take some necessary measures against him," Fu Xi said.
Pan Gu looked at Fu Xi, seeming somewhat puzzled, and said, "I didn’t expect you to come around and feel that we should do something necessary to Ye Fan. Fu Xi, if this isn’t your true feeling, there’s no need to say it out loud, because what you’re saying holds no real significance for us. In the cultivation system of ancient cultivators, there’s no fear of any human..."
"Do you think there’s an ’us’ in your heart? I thought you already separated yourself from ancient cultivators in your heart," Fu Xi said.
Pan Gu coldly said, "I know you hold a grudge, but the reality is such. I hope to reestablish the position of ancient cultivators through saving the Heavenly Tribulation. If you don’t help me, who will you help? Nuwa? Nuwa’s obsession has become incurable, and you mustn’t let your mentality collapse because you’re my greatest support."
Fu Xi thought for a moment, eventually bowed in silence to Pan Gu, and said, "As I said, I’ll help you with what you want to do. But if you violate any principles of the ancient cultivators, you can forget about getting my support. This is the balance between us..."

Ye Fan returned to Earth, directly to Hua Hai City, because he knew Xi He had taken Li Zhaojun there.
It was just an ordinary villa, one Ye Fan didn’t even remember visiting. Before, he had implanted a power to sense Li Zhaojun, so even if she were thousands of light-years away, he would know her location.
When Ye Fan appeared in the center of the villa, Xi He gave a slight bow, and Li Zhaojun and Min Shang both walked over. Both women wore faces of excitement, but there was also some suspicion because they weren’t sure if the Ye Fan before them was real.
Having gone through many illusions, reality was hard to discern, especially for Li Zhaojun and Min Shang, who didn’t have an artifact like the Tongling Mirror to distinguish between reality and illusion.
"Zhao Jun, Shang, you’re finally back." Ye Fan didn’t think much and walked over, taking a woman’s hand in each of his. He wanted to convey warmth and care through the simplest gesture.
Li Zhaojun appeared somewhat excited and shook her head, saying, "Ye Fan, we’ve been through too much, so I ask for your forgiveness. I don’t know if the you in front of me is real or an illusion. I want to believe it’s you, but... please understand us..."
Min Shang glanced at Li Zhaojun. Her mind wasn’t as complicated as Li Zhaojun’s; she wanted to throw herself into Ye Fan’s arms. But since Li Zhaojun didn’t allow it, she could only follow Li Zhaojun because she believed Li Zhaojun wouldn’t harm her.
"I understand," Ye Fan said, "You’ve been through a lot, and some people have been deliberately targeting you, especially those ancient powers. Perhaps the forces of the Heavenly Tribulation too. You’re likely chosen ones, so it’s understandable those powers are targeting you. I want to help you but know that some things aren’t easy to explain."
Xi He said, "Even the master seems indecisive now?"
"This isn’t indecision; it’s respect for the women beside me," Ye Fan said, "I know some things can’t be explained through words, and I don’t want to cause Zhao Jun and Shang too much trouble. As long as you know that you’re in my heart, that’s enough."
"Yes." Li Zhaojun looked affectionately at Ye Fan and nodded in response.
Ye Fan held onto Li Zhaojun and Min Shang’s hands, leading them to the sofa to sit down, letting each one sit on either side of him. Although there was nothing intimate between the three, this still showed Ye Fan’s care. Xi He watched from the side, seeming to understand Ye Fan’s state of mind, because Ye Fan had a kind of masculinity that others did not possess.
