“Could there be any doubt? The Dragon Master has opened Sky Gate. Naturally, he has now attained sainthood! I urge you all, especially those who betrayed our Dragon Master in the past, to start preparing to seek forgiveness sooner rather than later. Otherwise, when the day comes for the Dragon Master to take action, the ones plotting against him will be the first ones to end up on the chopping block.”
Gauis spoke with a cold voice, and his gaze upon the crowd below was filled with disdain and contempt.
Without a doubt, Gaius held no good impressions whatsoever of these so-called masters in the secular world.
After all, it was this group of people who repeatedly threatened and framed their Dragon Master years ago.
Even though, back then, they were also exploited Symborsus, Ye Fan wouldn't have faced such difficult circumstances if these individuals did not harbor ulterior motives.
Times have changed, fortunes have shifted, and the situation was now completely different.
Seizing this opportunity, Gaius naturally took great pleasure in tormenting them.
At this moment, Ye Fan brought Eigetsu along with him and rushed to India.
After passing through the barrier of Sacred Mountain in India, Ye Fan returned once again to the secret realm.
“Ye Fan!”
Upon seeing Ye Fan return, Duanmu Wan'er, who had been waiting at Well of the Thunderdrake, was immediately filled with joy.
One could see a sense of sorrow in her tear-filled eyes.
She rushed over fiercely, throwing herself right into Ye Fan's arms.
“Thank goodness, you've returned safely...”
Duanmu Wan'er's voice was filled with worry and choked with emotion.
Ye Fan comforted her with a gentle smile. “Silly girl, you didn't get any sleep last night, did you? I told you that I'll be fine. In this world, the one capable of killing me hasn't even been born yet.”
Ye Fan gently caressed Duanmu Wan'er's pretty face, wiping away the tears from the corners of her eyes.
Duanmu Wan'er nodded.
However, she still looked at Ye Fan's wounds with a pained expression. “Ye Fan, are you really okay?”
At this moment, Ye Fan's upper body was practically in tatters, and moreover, his back and chest were covered in wounds.
There was an especially prominent sword wound from a past altercation in his chest area. Although the blood had long since dried, the scar remained.
When she saw the injuries on Ye Fan's body, Duanmu Wan'er found it hard to believe that someone who had suffered so much could still stand in front of her, seemingly unscathed.
Moreover, Ye Fan's aura and power remained steady, showing no signs of weakness or decline.
Duanmu Wan'er was inevitably astonished.
Ye Fan continued to reassure her by saying, “Really, it's okay. I'll give you a detailed explanation of what's happening out there in a bit. Can you first tell me if there is still hope for Eigetsu?”
In the midst of their conversation, Ye Fan gently set Eigetsu down, asking Duanmu Wan'er to help check on her.
Although Duanmu Wan'er was not the strongest, she was well-versed in a wide range of knowledge, including alchemy and formation techniques, even divine spells. This young lady had almost everything one could think of in her mind.
Moreover, during the years Duanmu Wan'er spent in the secret realm, she often conducted her own research. In certain areas and fields, she was undoubtedly far superior to Ye Fan.
Duanmu Wan'er took a glance, and her delicate nose immediately crinkled.
“Hmph, you always bring in young ladies. Moreover, they're all beauties. What a womanizer!”
Duanmu Wan'er cast a somewhat resentful glance at Ye Fan.
Ye Fan gave her a bitter smile. “Wan'er, I beg you, now is not the time to discuss this. Please, just quickly take a look at her for me.”
Ye Fan spoke anxiously, his tone almost pleading.
Only then did Duanmu Wan'er help Ye Fan to check.
Soon after, Duanmu Wan'er finished her examination and shook her head at Ye Fan. “The foundation is damaged, with her essence fading away. There's hardly any chance of saving her now.”
Even though he was mentally prepared, upon learning the answer, Ye Fan's heart remained as cold as ice, as if a knife had been plunged and twisted into his heart.
“Wan'er, is there really no way at all? Eigetsu risked her life to save me. If it weren't for her, this time, it should have been me who died.”
Ye Fan was filled with guilt in his heart.
Duanmu Wan'er turned her head, casting another glance at Moon God. Eigetsu's black hair was also filled with streaks of white.
“She must have transferred all her life essence to you, I reckon. You really have a way with women, Ye Fan. I can't believe so many women have devoted themselves to you and have done so much.”
Duanmu Wan'er sighed softly.
After that, she helped the Moon God tidy up her clothing and brushed her hair aside.
“Is the food ready yet? I'm starving,” Huangniu said, opening his eyes and immediately started asking for food.
Upon reaching this point, Huangniu noticed the numerous wounds covering Ye Fan's body, as well as the lipstick stain at the corner of his mouth that hadn't been completely wiped off.
“Holy smokes! Ye Fan, what did you guys do last night? Wan'er, are you always this passionate Did you really manage to scratch Ye Fan's Raijin Thunderdrake imbued body?”
Huangniu stared, his face full of disbelief.
“No, Ye Fan doesn't fancy me. It's that other young woman who did that,” Duanmu Wan'er replied calmly.
As soon as Huangniu lowered his head, he saw the Moon God, who looked as lovely as Sleeping Beauty.
“Darn it! Ye Fan, you've lost your mind! Did you manage to confuse all those girls? Can't you be a bit more gentle with your actions?”
Even Huangniu was startled.
In a fit of anger, Ye Fan slapped him straight across his bovine mouth.
“Get lost!”
That stupid calf! He always has a bunch of sleazy thoughts running through his mind all day.
However, Wan'er seemed to go with the flow set by Huangniu earlier.
“Wan'er, you've changed. You're not as innocent as you once were,” Ye Fan said, shaking his head in regret.
As the group was chatting, the sound of footsteps could be heard from not too far away.
Angie walked over, dressed in a nightgown that was as thin as crepe paper.
“You all are up so early...”
Angie rubbed the sleep from her eyes.
Huangniu covered its face while cursing Ye Fan and also complaining about wanting food.
Only Duanmu Wan'er and Ye Fan knew about the battle that took place last night.
As for Huangniu and Angie, the previous night had been no different from the countless other nights that had passed.
Little did they know that they were so close to never seeing Ye Fan again.
