Chapter 685: Chapter 684: Willingly
After arranging everything, the Red Sand Main God opened the blockade of the Outer Realm. He had previously sealed it off because ominous beings would constantly emerge to cause chaos. But now that the Outer Realm belonged to his junior brother, there was no longer a need to keep it closed. He then began transporting the Immortal Mines.
Upon arriving outside the Outer Realm, Ye Fan said, "From now on, I’ll leave the transportation to you three senior brothers. Be careful of sabotage from the Evil Divine Lineage!"
"Alright, don’t worry about that," the Evil Punishment Main God said. "We’ll create an underground transport route and move everything covertly!"
"That’s even better," Ye Fan continued. "You’ll be responsible for establishing the route outside the Outer Realm, and I’ll handle the part inside. We’ll start transporting the mines in three months!"
The three of them nodded in agreement. They were thrilled. From now on, they would have a continuous supply of Immortal Mines and no longer had to worry. The Outer Domain was simply too rich.
Ye Fan then gave them a tour of the Outer Domain. The Misfortune Pangolin and the Demon Sky Monkey both appeared, their expressions turning solemn upon seeing the three Main Gods. However, after Ye Fan made the introductions, everything proceeded smoothly. The three Main Gods were astonished to find that Ye Fan had these ominous creatures so thoroughly under his control.
After finalizing their cooperation, the three departed from the Outer Domain. As Main God Level experts, their continued presence could attract even more powerful ominous beings. Thus, they did not linger. Besides, they had to hurry back to begin work on the transport route, which would keep them very busy.
Once the three Main Gods returned, they immediately launched an attack on Qinzhou. However, the Qin Heavenly Main God had already fled, so they annexed his territory. They stationed the God of Slaughter in Qinzhou and began establishing their end of the transport route.
「Three months later.」
The transportation route was finally complete.
Outside the Outer Domain, the Red Sand Main God was ecstatic. The first batch of Immortal Mines was his, and the sheer quantity was enough to tempt even a Main God.
The Red Sand Main God then said, "It’s time for that youngster, Mu Chen Dong, to be tempered through some real trials. I’ll send him to the Outer Realm in a few days!"
"When he arrives, I hope you’ll look after him a bit, Junior Brother!"
"No problem, Senior Brother, you can rest assured," Ye Fan replied. "In the Outer Domain, my word is law. Once my strength increases further, I plan to conquer the entire Outer Domain!"
"Good!" the Red Sand Main God praised. A true man should make his mark, and Ye Fan’s ambition was so great that even he had to regard him in a new light.
Soon, Mu Chen Dong and Wu Fa arrived, their main task being to handle the handover of the Immortal Mines.
"Boss, we’re here!" they both announced.
Being with Ye Fan was when they were happiest. Although he often put them through grueling training, they actually felt strange without it.
"Good. When I get the chance, I’ll take you two to those forbidden lands to train," Ye Fan said.
"Yes, Boss!" the two replied excitedly.
Just then, they spotted Huang Ji.
"Whoa! We thought the Boss came to this barren wasteland and would have to, you know, rely on his own two hands for everything. I can’t believe he’s already found a new flame!" Wu Fa said.
"He’s definitely hiding a beauty in a gilded cage!" Mu Chen Dong added, and the two of them began to snicker lecherously.
"Do you two believe I’ll cut your tongues out?" Huang Ji snapped.
It was one thing for them to say such things, but to do it right in front of her was another matter entirely. Her face flushed with a mixture of embarrassment and anger.
"Greetings, Sister-in-law!" the two suddenly said, completely changing their tune.
Huang Ji found she had no way of dealing with them and could only let it go.
Ye Fan just laughed. "They’re my men. Although they can be a bit mouthy, they’re good people at heart."
"I know," Huang Ji said. She still gritted her teeth when she thought about them; after all, Ye Fan had ordered these two to trap her with an array. But that was all in the past now. The two of them soon went off to their own training.
At that moment, Huang Ji said, "Husband, I need to go back for a while."
"So soon?" Ye Fan asked.
"Of course!"
A cold snort suddenly echoed nearby. Ye Fan instantly became alert. It was a Divine General-level expert.
"Uncle De, don’t do anything rash!" Huang Ji quickly intervened.
The newcomer was an elderly man, a Martial Artist serving under the Great Wilderness Main God. Hearing Huang Ji, he refrained from attacking but merely huffed heavily. He fixed Ye Fan with a cold stare and said, "You are not a suitable match for the Young Miss. Furthermore, you are from the Righteous Divine Lineage, while we are from the Evil Divine Lineage. We are as incompatible as fire and water. I advise you to give up any ideas you have about her!"
"Uncle De! My affairs are not your concern!" Huang Ji retorted coldly.
The elder quickly replied, "Miss, if the Lord finds out about this, he will be furious! In my humble opinion, the best course of action is to kill him now and pretend this never happened!"
"Yo! Acting like we don’t exist, are you?"
The Misfortune Pangolin and the Demon Sky Monkey appeared, causing the old man’s bravado to instantly deflate. These two were entities on par with Main Gods; his mere Divine General level was nothing in comparison.
Ye Fan sneered, "Believe it or not, Laozi will make sure you can’t take a single step out of here."
The elder replied coldly, "The Great Wilderness Main God will not let you go! Just you wait for his wrath!"
Despite his inner terror, he had to put on a brave face. He never expected this young man to have such powerful backers.
Huang Ji stepped in. "That’s enough, both of you. Uncle De, please step aside. I have something to say to my husband."
"Yes, Miss."
Although reluctant, the elder didn’t dare disobey Huang Ji’s command at this moment and obediently withdrew. Moreover, not having to face those two monsters from the Evil Clan greatly relieved the pressure he felt.
Suddenly, Huang Ji threw her arms around Ye Fan. "Husband," she whispered, "I really can’t bear to leave you."
"I feel the same," Ye Fan replied, holding her close.
Huang Ji continued, "I will do my best to persuade my father. If he doesn’t agree, I’ll run away from home!" Her tone was decisive and filled with resolve.
"No. Ask him what it would take for him to allow us to be together," Ye Fan said. "Whatever his price is, as long as it’s within my power, I will give it my all!"
"Husband, you’ve already done so much for me," Huang Ji said, her voice laced with guilt.
"I do it willingly," Ye Fan said gently. "You go first. If you can’t persuade him, then I will come find you."
"I’ll speak to him myself!" Ye Fan declared, having already resolved to do so.
"No, you can’t go!" Huang Ji insisted. "If you go, my father will really kill you!"
"I’m not afraid." Ye Fan believed that if one lacked even this much courage for the sake of love, then one wasn’t worthy of it.
He and Huang Ji spoke for a long while longer before she finally left with the elder. Fortunately, while this was the Outer Realm, it wasn’t far from the territory of the Great Wilderness Main God.
After Huang Ji’s departure, Ye Fan felt an emptiness in his heart, as if a part of him was missing.
"Boss, missing Sister-in-law already?" Wu Fa suddenly appeared beside Ye Fan.
Ye Fan nodded. "Yes, I do. She’s given up so much for me. No matter what, I can’t let her be hurt again."
"But your prospective father-in-law is the number one Main God in the entire Divine Domain," Mu Chen Dong chimed in from the side. "What will you do if he decides he wants you dead?"
