A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage) novel Chapter 1995

After Junie and Noa left, the only ones left in the room were Ye Fan and Suzumiya Eigetsu.

Seeing how flustered he was, the latter couldn't help but burst out laughing.

I can't believe the former Dragon God Hall Master, who was also first in the Sky Ranking, can be caught in such an awkward situation too! Oh, this is hilarious!

“Hey, are you laughing? How dare you! You know very well that this is all your fault!” Ye Fan snapped as he glared at Suzumiya Eigetsu.

“But I did it because I was worried about you,” she whimpered. “It's their fault for not telling me your whereabouts...”

With her looking so pitiful, there was no way he could bring himself to blame her. “All right, all right. Just pay more attention in the future. Junie and the rest are my friends. Don't hurt them,” Ye Fan muttered, hoping she wouldn't repeat her mistake.

A while later, Suzumiya Eigetsu asked Ye Fan what he had been up to for the past few years.

After all, she was curious to know where he had gone after the battle at Eastsea and why he had maintained radio silence for so many years.

In response, Ye Fan merely gave a brief rundown of the past events, not wanting to go into the details since it was all history to him.

After learning that Ye Fan had spent the last few years recuperating in the Great North, Suzumiya Eigetsu's heart ached so much that she almost cried. “Those people deserved to die! How dare they hurt you so badly!”

Ye Fan, however, was extraordinarily calm.

What happened was painful and horrible, but he had long learned to accept it and move on.

“Well, that's all in the past. Look at me now. Aren't I doing just fine? Besides, my power has also improved significantly. In a way, I should be thanking them for that, shouldn't I?” he replied with a smile.

Only after hearing Ye Fan's words did Suzumiya Eigetsu realize his aura was volatile and the true extent of his power was close to bursting out. “Huh? Master, have you had another breakthrough?”

“What do you think? If you hadn't interrupted, I'd have succeeded,” Ye Fan grumbled as he rolled his eyes several times. “I was in solitary training when you got here.”

Perhaps feeling guilt-ridden, Suzumiya Eigetsu lowered her head in shame and apologized.

“It's okay. I'm not blaming you. I must say, though, you came at the right time. I reckon I'd need a lot more time to achieve this breakthrough. Moreover, I'm at the most critical stage, so I can't afford to let anyone disturb me.”

Indeed, Ye Fan's training was a matter of great importance.

He was thankful that his visitor was Suzumiya Eigetsu, and even more so that she had shown up before he started his breakthrough.

After all, if someone had attacked or barged in during his critical breakthrough period, there was no doubt the consequences would be dire.

Now that she was here, Ye Fan had to admit it was perfect timing.

She's the best person to stand guard while I resume

my training!

“Sure!” Suzumiya Eigetsu replied without hesitation.

She was only too happy to help her master, so there was no way she'd have turned him down.

However, before he retreated for his solitary training, Suzumiya Eigetsu decided to ask if Ye Fan could accompany her for one more day.

As it turned out, her body was still largely under the control of the Moon God's consciousness.

Thankfully, when the goddess found out about their long-awaited reunion and knew they'd have a lot to catch up on, she took the initiative to pull out and relinquished control over her host.

Otherwise, Suzumiya Eigetsu'd never have been able to hold a conversation with Ye Fan if she were still in control.

Naturally, he acceded to the request and accompanied Suzumiya Eigetsu on a fun trip around India fora day.

They saw majestic mountains rising above the clouds, leaves falling off the trees as the rain poured, and clusters of stars that dazzled in the night sky.

Suzumiya Eigetsu leaned on Ye Fan's shoulder as she enjoyed the sight and night breeze, a happy and contented smile on her face.

She wished the moment would last forever. Alas, all good things must come to pass.

The next day, as soon as the first ray of light illuminated the land, Suzumiya Eigetsu's soul quickly faded away and was replaced by Tsukuyomi Tenshin —the all-mighty Moon God of Japan.

When Ye Fan felt her cold, piercing gaze, he couldn't help but break into a sheepish smile.

“H-Hello...” he mumbled before stepping back to distance himself from the goddess.

“It seems like you have nine lives,” Tsukuyomi Tenshin coldly remarked as she scrutinized Ye Fan. “Back then, Chu Yuan had you surrounded, yet somehow, you managed to survive the attack.”

Ye Fan flashed a smile. “I was just lucky.” “Oh? Are you sure it was all just luck?” Before he could say anything else, the Moon God decided to cut to the chase.
