Chapter 938: Chapter 233: Another Small Iron Plate [Ten Thousand Words!]
Fang Che said: "Waiting a couple more nights won’t hurt."
Yan Beihan suddenly became interested: "What did you discover?"
"I really don’t know yet."
Fang Che said: "We need to wait for confirmation to find out what it is."
Yan Beihan said: "Then I’ll come with you when the time comes."
She said obediently: "If there really is something good, I won’t fight you for it."
Fang Che also knew he couldn’t leave her behind, so he nodded: "Alright."
"You’re not afraid I’ll fight you for it, and you don’t refuse." Yan Beihan was satisfied.
Fang Che sighed and said: "Do you know what’s the most irresistible thing in this world?"
"What is it?"
Yan Beihan asked.
"It’s a man’s greed and a woman’s curiosity."
Fang Che said: "Anything that challenges or goes against these two, no matter how powerful, will be crushed!"
He chuckled: "I won’t do such things. Since it’s not a big deal, it’s better to go with the flow than to cause trouble for myself."
Yan Beihan pondered: "The most irresistible things in the world are... a man’s greed and a woman’s curiosity? Is that so?"
"Of course."
"No wonder you’re so agreeable." Yan Beihan said.
"What if I weren’t agreeable?"
Fang Che cast a sidelong glance at her: "If I said I wouldn’t let you follow, then you’d insist on following, then you’d be unhappy, and I can’t even beat you. The end result is I get beaten up by you and you still follow... so why not just skip the process, agree right away, and make everyone happy."
"Hahaha..." Yan Beihan laughed out loud, saying: "Smart move on your part!"
Fang Che noticed that Yan Beihan was different from other women: she was very straightforward.
When she laughed, she did it openly and heartily, without the coyness of other women. She didn’t hide her emotions at all.
Of course, there were some downsides too: whenever she felt embarrassed, she’d hit people.
She’d use hitting others to cover her embarrassment, and she hit with considerable force...
Make her shy, and she’d hit people!
Make her awkward, and she’d hit people!
Make her embarrassed, and she’d hit people!
But her greater virtue was being reasonable.
As long as she realized she was wrong, she wouldn’t stubbornly argue like other women, but instead, she’d feel guilty and lose confidence...
Her voice would become quieter, without any bottom line, unable to even pretend to be fierce.
Even with the status of the ’Wei Wo Zheng Sect’, she seemed bright and lovable.
"Have you ever thought about the rules of the Yin Yang Realm with the ring we received after entering?"
Fang Che asked.
"Of course I remember, there’s a crack for every life-and-death crisis." Yan Beihan said.
"Yes. But thinking about it now, this world looks almost as vast as the outside, with less than two thousand people entering and they’re all scattered. We’ve been fleeing for so long and have only encountered people from the Underworld once. Everyone else is completely unseen."
Fang Che said: "So, logically speaking, those people wouldn’t encounter each other, right?"
"Yes, we’ve definitely covered more ground than others."
Yan Beihan sighed: "Since we haven’t even run into them, it’s even less likely they’ll encounter each other."
Fang Che said: "So the question is, why are there nine life-and-death crises?"
Yan Beihan was dumbstruck.
"When I saw the rule, I thought it meant we would fight each other for resources, that it would be a life-or-death situation, digging pits and setting traps... treating everyone who entered as enemies or opponents."
Fang Che said slowly.
"I thought the same." Yan Beihan murmured.
"But now, more than two years have passed, and we hardly run into anyone. The world is so vast that future encounters will also be rare."
Fang Che said quietly: "Yet there are nine life-and-death crises, so many in number. Could it be because of each other?"
"Like the current cultivation of you and me, though not invincible, we are probably at the leading edge. Who among those who entered with us could pose a life-or-death threat to both of us?"
Yan Beihan nodded silently.
She entirely agreed with this statement.
Everyone entered at the level of a martial master, with the same starting point. The progress she and Fang Che made in this time was terrifying!
She also couldn’t believe anyone would be faster than her.
The same went for Feng Yun.
"So I think we got it wrong from the start. Our life-and-death crises aren’t with each other but with these Demon Beasts in the world!"
Fang Che decisively concluded.
Yan Beihan continued to nod silently.
"Then a new question arises, what do we need to do to provoke these Demon Beasts’ hostility?"
Fang Che said: "If we encounter them, there’s no choice, but what if we don’t encounter anything, and just stay peacefully in one place? Would we face a life-and-death crisis like we do?"
Yan Beihan frowned, remaining silent.
"We’ve come this far without causing trouble, yet everywhere we go, new troubles find us."
Fang Che said: "Even if we wanted to stay put, we couldn’t. So can others?"
Yan Beihan said: "Your meaning is... since this area is now quiet, maybe we should stay here quietly for a while to see if new troubles come our way?"
"Smart!"
Fang Che said: "That’s exactly my plan."
"To deduce the rules this way?" Yan Beihan, being extremely intelligent, understood immediately when Fang Che spoke.
