Chapter 615: Chapter 614: Look at With New Eyes
At that moment, Ye Fan said, "Here, this is for you!" He handed the Divine Soul Flower to Mu Keqing. After all, she had pulled out all the stops to compete for it, but it had ultimately ended up in his hands.
"Little Fanzi, are you confessing your feelings to me?" Mu Keqing asked, clearly moved. Of course, she knew the value of the Divine Soul Flower.
"Then I’m taking it back!" Ye Fan immediately reached out to grab it.
But Mu Keqing snatched it away first, scolding, "You never used to be like this with me. Spit it out, do you have another woman you like?"
"No, I really don’t!" Ye Fan said, embarrassed.
"Hmph! You’d better not, or I’ll have my father deal with her!" Mu Keqing declared angrily. In her unreasonable and domineering logic, Ye Fan belonged to her, and no other woman was allowed to lay a finger on him.
In truth, Ye Fan just wanted to say, What about the Seven-Colored Demon Empress? The Red Sand Main God definitely couldn’t handle her. But he chose to keep a low profile and said nothing.
Ye Fan changed the subject, asking Mu Keqing, "Where are you headed next?"
"I was looking for you so we can go to the Divine Domain Talent Conference together, of course! Both the Sovereign God camp and the Dark God camp will be there!"
"What a coincidence. I’m definitely going, but I plan to wait until it gets closer to the date," Ye Fan remarked.
"You can’t get in without an invitation!" Mu Keqing stated immediately. It was an extremely strict conference; without an invitation, you had no chance of getting in.
Then, Ye Fan produced an invitation, leaving both Mu Keqing and Qi Liang shocked.
"How did you get your hands on that?" Mu Keqing asked in astonishment.
"Some clueless fool offended me, so I taught him a harsh lesson. I got the invitation from him," Ye Fan explained.
"A clueless fool? Who?" Mu Keqing asked curiously.
Ye Fan replied reluctantly, "To be honest, I don’t really remember who it was. That guy was such a show-off. I think the poser’s name was Yan Xun."
The two of them nearly fainted. Yan Xun was one of the top-ranked young powerhouses! In terms of strength, even if he wasn’t her brother Mu Chen Dong’s equal, he wasn’t far off. And Ye Fan had supposedly dealt with him? They simply couldn’t believe Ye Fan possessed that kind of power.
"You really taught him a lesson?" Mu Keqing was still skeptical. After all, when she first met Ye Fan, he was a complete rookie, not even on her level.
But Qi Liang had noticed something. He saw Ye Fan’s cultivation realm. Disregarding his physical body, in terms of cultivation alone, Ye Fan was already a powerhouse at the Nirvana Sixth Layer Heaven. But Yan Xun was at the Nirvana Seventh Layer Heaven! Plus, as the son of the Main God of Spirit, his background was far beyond that of any ordinary person. So, although Yan Xun was only at the Nirvana Seventh Layer Heaven, his strength was not something other Martial Artists at the same realm could compare to. They found it impossible to believe that such a young powerhouse had been defeated by Ye Fan.
"That’s right! And his followers, too. In the end, I only killed his lackeys. The coward used an escape Secret Technique at the last moment to get away. Next time we meet, I’ll take his head," Ye Fan stated flatly. "Hey, what’s with those looks? You don’t believe me, do you?" He was speechless. Their expressions screamed disbelief.
Just then, Mu Keqing declared, "I’ll test you myself and see if you’re bluffing!" She believed that only strength was convincing. Without it, words were useless. If Ye Fan could defeat her, then she would believe he could defeat Yan Xun.
"We’re on the same side, there’s no need for this!" Ye Fan said helplessly.
But Mu Keqing barked, "Cut the crap! When I say we fight, we fight!"
"The thing is... I can’t bring myself to attack you!" Ye Fan said with a helpless look. That expression of his was the kind that just begged for a beating, which only infuriated Mu Keqing more. What was that supposed to mean? She was Chizhou’s number one female prodigy, for crying out loud! While her strength was still less than her brother’s, surpassing him was only a matter of time.
Mu Keqing snapped, "Just come at me with everything you’ve got!"
"Then you’ve left me no choice!" Ye Fan said.
Suddenly, his eyes turned cold, and he charged toward Mu Keqing. She reacted instantly, attempting to unleash the Mu Family’s Secret Technique, the Red Sand Divine Fire. However, before her Red Sand Divine Fire could even ignite, she and Qi Liang were frozen in shock. At that moment, Qi Liang had to restrain himself from intervening to protect his Young Miss. Luckily, Ye Fan stopped just in time. His Yuanhong Sword was already resting against Mu Keqing’s neck. If he had moved it even an inch, her throat would have been pierced.
Such formidable skill! Even I couldn’t see how he struck. Every move was lethal, aimed straight for the throat! And his control is flawless, not off by a single hair. Even the Young Miss, who is said to be capable of one day surpassing her father, was powerless against him! He’s definitely among the elite of the younger generation. The crazy part is that he’s only at the Nirvana Sixth Layer Heaven! Qi Liang couldn’t help but marvel at Ye Fan.
Ye Fan immediately sheathed his sword and asked Mu Keqing, "Convinced now?"
Mu Keqing suddenly burst into tears.
Qi Liang was flustered, but someone was even more so: Ye Fan. He asked awkwardly, "What are you crying for?"
Mu Keqing pouted. "You bullied me!"
"But didn’t you tell me to come at you with everything I had?" Ye Fan was beyond awkward. He shot a pleading look at Qi Liang, who pointedly ignored him. If you angered this little witch, you had to be prepared to suffer. Since he wasn’t the one who had provoked her this time, he had no obligation to help Ye Fan bear the brunt of her fury.
"I told you to do your worst, so you did? If I told you to kill me, would you have actually done it?" Mu Keqing retorted, feeling wronged.
Ye Fan scratched his head innocently. "Well, uh, I’m an honest guy. Honest guys do as they’re told!"
"Pah!" She shot him a nasty look.
It took Ye Fan using every trick in the book to finally coax Mu Keqing into a better mood. This only served to prove that old saying from the Secular World: it is better to offend a villain than a woman. There was truly not a single shred of falsehood in that statement.
Now, he and Mu Keqing were sitting together in a pavilion. She turned to him and asked, "Little Fanzi, can you give me an honest answer?"
"Sure, go ahead!" Ye Fan nodded repeatedly.
Mu Keqing asked, "Now that your strength has surpassed mine, will you bully me?"
Ye Fan laughed. "How could I? Am I that kind of person? I’ll protect you!"
"Hee hee! It’s so good to have you!" Mu Keqing said, leaning on Ye Fan’s shoulder.
Bullshit! With your spoiled and willful personality, if you were my wife, Laozi would’ve already spanked your bottom raw. The only reason I don’t is because I’m scared of your old man! He’s the Red Sand Main God; who would dare bully you? Not even Laozi would dare! Ye Fan thought to himself.
In truth, this inner monologue of his could be dismissed as hot air. After all, few of the women he had known back in the Secular World weren’t spoiled and willful. But did he dare discipline them? The answer was crystal clear: he did not.
