Chapter 678: Chapter 677: The Beauty’s Compensation
At that moment, Ye Fan said, "Those who see it get a share. Here!"
He handed a cluster of Immortal Mine Essence to Huang Ji. She was shocked, not expecting him to give her a full third of the essence. With her current strength, she was completely incapable of refining that much; even refining a tenth of it would be an incredible feat.
"For me?" Huang Ji could hardly believe that Ye Fan would be so generous.
"Of course, it’s for you!" Ye Fan replied.
"But I can’t use this much!" she said immediately.
It was true that she couldn’t use that much, yet Ye Fan had given it to her anyway.
Ye Fan smiled. "I know you can’t use that much now, but you can save it for later!"
Touched, Huang Ji put away the Immortal Mine Essence.
"This remaining essence is just enough for me to refine. Not too much, not too little—it’s the perfect amount," Ye Fan said.
"You can refine this much?" Huang Ji was astonished. Ye Fan’s body truly defied common sense.
"Of course, I can! This time, I am going to break through to the second major realm!"
At this, Huang Ji was taken aback. Is he aiming to become a Divine General so soon? A Divine General was a being on the cusp of the fifth major realm, having mastered the fourth.
Not long ago, in the Great Wilderness Space, Ye Fan was but a Martial Artist at the Nirvana Ninth Layer. Now, he was nearing the Nirvana 20th Layer. This was already the second major realm, and his progress was simply terrifying! She had never seen a rate of advancement like this before. It was terrifying, to say the least, and had already sent chills down the spines of many Main God Experts.
Compared to him, I can’t be called a genius at all. She was genuinely frightened by his rate of advancement.
Ye Fan said, "Come, let’s refine the essence here!"
Huang Ji nodded and sat down with Ye Fan to start the refinement process. The essence slowly assimilated into their bodies.
An unknown amount of time passed before Ye Fan suddenly stood up.
Huang Ji asked, "You... you’ve finished refining it?"
"Yeah! This time, the refinement was a bit slow, but I’m working on speeding up the process!"
At these words, Huang Ji felt so frustrated she nearly spat out a mouthful of blood. She hadn’t even properly begun, yet Ye Fan had already finished. Such an absorption speed was just too bizarre! "So... so fast!" she stammered. Being with Ye Fan dealt a serious blow to her pride, even for a heaven-blessed prodigy like herself.
Ye Fan said, "I’ll stand guard for you. Just focus on refining it without any worries!"
With Ye Fan’s protection, Huang Ji’s refinement speed increased significantly, as she could now focus completely on the essence without any other concerns.
Meanwhile, Ye Fan felt an abundant power surging within him. If it were possible to break through here, he was ready to do so. He also understood that the gap between him and the geniuses from the Divine Domain was only widening. If he broke through to the second major realm, the distance between them would become truly insurmountable.
After a whole month, Huang Ji finally finished refining the essence. Although it was only a small portion of what she had received, her body had reached a state of saturation.
When she and Ye Fan emerged, they surprised the Misfortune Pangolin. Although the pangolin’s kind didn’t use this energy, the speed at which Ye Fan had absorbed it was far beyond his expectations.
Ye Fan and Huang Ji arrived at the entrance of the Abyss Valley. He said to the Misfortune Pangolin, "When I bring people next time, you can start mining. If any outsiders show up, just kill them."
"Yes, Master! Slaying ants is what I like best," the Misfortune Pangolin chuckled sinisterly. Ever since the Demon Suppression Main God had unearthed him, this place had been synonymous with terror. Nevertheless, some clueless fools still wandered in. He had slain them all.
Ye Fan nodded and then left with Huang Ji.
"Farewell, Master!" the Misfortune Pangolin said hastily.
Arriving at the bamboo cottage, they found the little dwelling was somewhat dusty, so they quickly began cleaning. Then, he asked her, "When do you plan to make your breakthrough?"
"You go first. I’ll stand guard for you," Huang Ji said.
But Ye Fan laughed. "I don’t need anyone to stand guard. No one would dare ambush me during my Nirvana Tribulation!"
Ye Fan was very confident about this. Let alone ordinary Martial Artists, even Main God Experts wouldn’t dare to act recklessly during his tribulation. He had nothing to fear.
Huang Ji was stunned, but after spending time with Ye Fan, she had grown accustomed to his monstrous talent. Nothing he did could be explained with common sense.
"I’m planning to break through in three days!" she said.
"Good! I’ll stand guard for you then."
"Mmm-hmm!" Huang Ji nestled joyfully in Ye Fan’s arms. Without a doubt, she had completely fallen for him. Only when she was truly with Ye Fan did she realize the full extent of his charm.
At night, they gazed up at the starry sky. Beneath the countless stars, Huang Ji felt intoxicated. This carefree life might have seemed aimless and lacked ambition, but she was growing to like it more and more, to the point where she had no desire to return home.
Eventually, she felt tired and fell asleep.
In the middle of the night, she suddenly awoke to a dark figure at the foot of her bed. Furious, she lashed out with a kick!
It was followed by a scream like that of a pig being slaughtered. Ye Fan now realized that Huang Ji knew this move, not just Su Qingxue. He had let his guard down completely around Huang Ji, and she had landed such a vicious kick on him.
"It’s you? You, are you okay?" Huang Ji asked with concern. She quickly helped Ye Fan up. Seeing the worry in her eyes, Ye Fan couldn’t bring himself to feel any resentment.
I’m done for, completely done for! Ye Fan struggled as he lay down on Huang Ji’s bed.
"I’m sorry, I really didn’t mean it! I thought someone was trying to ambush us," Huang Ji said anxiously as she hurriedly soothed him. She couldn’t help but feel terrible; after all, it was a grave misdeed to have nearly crippled him.
Unexpectedly, Ye Fan’s gaze suddenly hardened, and he pinned her down on the bed.
Huang Ji was shocked. "We can’t yet... What are you doing?" she asked weakly.
Ye Fan said teasingly, "Since I’m injured this badly, don’t you think you owe me some compensation?"
Huang Ji’s mind went blank, completely unsure of what he meant. But she was about to find out.
Ye Fan suddenly kissed her. Although Huang Ji was caught off guard, she did not refuse. She knew that she and Ye Fan were now a Daoist couple. Since that was the case, she was resolved to give him her all.
His hands began to roam. He was an old pro at this, having used these moves more times than he could count. Old tricks are the best tricks. They worked every time.
And so, he completely swept Huang Ji away.
It wasn’t until Ye Fan could no longer control himself that Huang Ji realized just how wild he was. She nearly passed out several times. In the final moments, she was holding on by her willpower alone.
When it was all over, Huang Ji was pale and gasping for air. Ye Fan gently caressed her, completely unaware that his own back was covered in scratches she had left.
Huang Ji said to him, "I’ve entrusted everything to you now. If you dare abandon me in the future, I’ll hunt you down just like last time!"
"Haha, I would never abandon you, don’t worry! From now on, I will protect you."
Ye Fan was speaking the truth. He knew all too well how fearsome Huang Ji could be. Back when their relationship was still new and uncertain, she had hunted him all the way from the Gods Battlefield to the Outer Domain. A man could be powerful, but he should never casually offend a woman. If he did, that woman might just hunt him relentlessly. Ye Fan was keenly aware of how terrifying women could be.
