Chapter 373: Chapter 372: Flirting with Glances
Seeing how determined Ye Fan was, Liu Ruyan immediately whined to him, "I want to go eat something!"
"You’ve got to be kidding me! Didn’t Gongsun Chou arrange for any of this?" Ye Fan asked.
But Liu Ruyan said, "I only like to eat with you."
What could he say? Why do so many women take an interest in me? Is being this handsome really my fault? I never used to think it was, but now I’m absolutely convinced that being too good-looking is not a good thing! If I really could, I’d sigh to the heavens: "Why give me such otherworldly looks? They’re nothing but a burden!" Of course, that was just him being full of himself.
"Fine, I’ll take you. But after we eat, you’re going straight home—I’m not taking responsibility for anything else!" Ye Fan declared.
"I know, you’re so annoying!" Liu Ruyan said disdainfully.
This is for the best. My wife has been keeping a tight leash on me lately. Even if I had the inclination, I don’t have the guts! Not unless I can one day truly pin Su Qingxue under me.
He was out having dinner with Liu Ruyan. Afterward, Ye Fan checked the time and saw it was already nine in the evening, leaving him only an hour before the curfew Su Qingxue had set.
So, he told Liu Ruyan, "Hurry up and go home!"
"No, stay with me a little longer!" Liu Ruyan demanded.
But Ye Fan said firmly, "No, that’s not up for discussion. And don’t you dare threaten me, or else I’ll finish you myself. We’ll see you in tomorrow’s news!"
He hadn’t wanted to resort to threats, but without them, he really had no way of handling Liu Ruyan.
However, Liu Ruyan just grabbed his shoulder and said weakly, "Come on, just stay with me a little while longer!"
Ye Fan felt a pang of pity, but he had to harden his heart. As a result, her pouting and unreasonable tactics were now completely ineffective against him.
"Some other day, alright?" Ye Fan tried. "I’ll go out with you another day."
"No, I want to go today!" Liu Ruyan insisted.
Ye Fan pushed her away. Trying to seduce me? What a joke. I’m a man of unwavering determination; a little temptation like this is nothing.
However, at that moment, Liu Ruyan suddenly screamed, "Molester! Help!"
Ye Fan was speechless. A torrent of curses flooded my mind—how can she be so shameless!
Fearing that things would escalate if this continued, Ye Fan immediately relented. "Fine, I’m scared of you, isn’t that enough?"
"Hmph!" Liu Ruyan felt very smug.
Although Liu Ruyan, who was born in a hidden Sect, had been to a modern city and had a decent understanding of urban life, she was curious about everything. For Ye Fan, accompanying her on a shopping spree was an absolute nightmare.
His reluctant expression immediately drew scorn from many passersby. They looked down on him for being with such a stunning woman yet appearing so displeased. What’s wrong with this kid? Is he impotent? Or maybe he prefers men? Good heavens, this is infuriating! Such a cold-hearted man, and yet this woman is still with him. He must be another one of those rich second-generation brats.
Many of the onlookers thought this to themselves. Of course, if any of them truly knew Ye Fan’s identity, they would have scoffed. A rich brat was nothing in Ye Fan’s eyes.
Unaware of what others were thinking, the usually calm and collected Ye Fan began to feel nervous. He was terrified of being seen by Su Qingxue. If that happened, it would truly be dangerous—far more perilous than being killed.
However, as they came out of the movie theater, they didn’t run into Su Qingxue, but the situation wasn’t much better. A luxury car pulled up in front of them. The window rolled down, revealing a person who caught Ye Fan completely off guard. It was none other than the Charming Fox Demoness, Luo Yazhi. She had been in secluded cultivation and hadn’t been seen for a long time. He never expected to run into her here.
"Well, well! Life seems to be treating you nicely. Every time I see you, there’s a beautiful woman with you!" Luo Yazhi teased.
But Ye Fan quickly explained, "We’re not in that kind of relationship!"
"Not that kind of relationship?" Luo Yazhi taunted again. "I’ve yet to see a woman with you who isn’t in that kind of relationship!"
Ye Fan felt a knot in his stomach, and his embarrassment was plain to see.
"Husband, who is this floozy?" Liu Ruyan asked, her tone dripping with jealousy. In her eyes, any woman more sensuous and charming than herself couldn’t possibly be a good person.
Just as Ye Fan was about to explain, Luo Yazhi interjected, "Little sister, he and I have already made eyes at each other. What kind of relationship do you think we have? We’ve rolled around in more bedsheets than you’ve ever seen!"
"Hmph! I could tell at a glance you’re not a good woman!" Liu Ruyan’s face instantly turned cold as she snorted.
At that, Ye Fan said helplessly, "That’s enough. Can you two please talk a little less? By the way, Yazhi, weren’t you in secluded cultivation in Europe with the Dark Night Demon Queen? How come you’re back?"
When Ye Fan brought her up, Luo Yazhi giggled. "Do you miss her?"
"No, just asking!" Ye Fan said hastily.
One must never tell a woman he’s thinking about another in her presence, or else he will surely meet a terrible fate. This holds true even if it means lying through his teeth. Moreover, since Luo Yazhi and the Dark Night Demon Queen call each other sisters, the fallout would be even more devastating!
Luo Yazhi giggled again. "You’re lying! How about you come to my place for a drink? I can tell you all about what I saw and heard in Europe!" she continued in a seductive voice.
That voice is far too tempting. I really want to put her in her place right now, but this isn’t the time for rash actions.
"Alright," Ye Fan said. "I’ll take her home first!"
"I’m not going back!" Liu Ruyan said stubbornly.
"Don’t you enjoy the feeling of having two women serve you at once?" Luo Yazhi added, fanning the flames.
Ye Fan shot her a look. "You’re too dirty-minded. Would a pure man like me ever do something like that?"
With no other choice, he had to take Liu Ruyan along to Luo Yazhi’s residence. Although Liu Ruyan was very assertive, her presence was completely overshadowed by Luo Yazhi’s.
"Interested in coming up for a bit?" Luo Yazhi asked.
"Not interested!" Liu Ruyan refused immediately. She had always thought she was the most beautiful woman in the world, but by following Ye Fan, she was realizing there were many other stunning women out there. Whether it was Su Qingxue or this woman she considered improper, neither was her inferior. In fact, their auras even surpassed hers. For any woman, jealousy is instinctual.
By now, Ye Fan and Luo Yazhi had already made their way to the second floor.
"Things in Europe have actually been quite tumultuous," Luo Yazhi said.
"Why?" Ye Fan asked curiously.
"The Vampire Clan over there is becoming increasingly rampant. They are infiltrating every corner of the underworld. My return to the Divine Land this time was arranged by my sister." The sister Luo Yazhi mentioned was the Dark Night Demon Queen.
Ye Fan asked, "What did she arrange for you to do in the Divine Land?"
"If the situation over there becomes too dire, she plans to come to the Divine Land to lay low for a while," Luo Yazhi told him.
Ye Fan nodded. "No problem. If it’s really that dangerous over there, then she should come to the Divine Land first. I’ll give her my full support. After all, the Dark Night Demon Queen and the Heavenly King Hall can be considered allies now."
