Chapter 262: Chapter 232 【Lan Hua Sect Successor】

When the first streak of dawn pierced the eastern and western horizons, Ye Fan, sitting cross-legged on the jade stone in the villa courtyard, slowly opened his eyes, having ended a night of meditation.

"Ao wuu~"

Next to the jade stone, Little Wolf saw Ye Fan open his eyes and excitedly howled towards the sky, his voice echoing to the heavens.

Hearing this, Ye Fan turned his head to look at Little Wolf, his face breaking into a joyful smile.

Little Wolf had been brought to Ao Xiang Villa by Chu Ji the day after Su Liuli’s birthday.

Now, a month had passed since Su Liuli’s birthday.

In the past month, Little Wolf had quietly kept Ye Fan company each night as he sat cross-legged on the jade stone for cultivation, just as he had during his time at Spirit Mountain.

Through this month of relentless cultivation, Ye Fan had not only completely recovered the Essence of Power he had expended during Pan Jueming’s empowerment, but had also managed to generate Power Seeds in two vital acupoints within his body, taking another step towards becoming an Innate Great Success Martial Artist.

Besides, he had also made certain advances in his magic cultivation; his Mind Power had become purer and had increased by nearly one-tenth in quantity, and the Mind Power Seed within his consciousness had subtly grown larger.

Not only him, due to the abundant Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi above Ao Xiang Villa, even Little Wolf, who accompanied him daily, had indirectly absorbed a significant amount of this qi. His physique had improved once again—his size had increased considerably since arriving at Ao Xiang Villa, his limbs sturdy and powerful, completely transforming into a Mutated Wolf.

After howling, Little Wolf, now the size of a leopard, pounced on Ye Fan like a scruffy dog, clinging to Ye Fan’s arm and licking the palm of his hand with his tongue.

"If only you could meditate."

Ye Fan gently stroked the shiny black fur on Little Wolf’s head and sighed lightly. Though Little Wolf was full of spirit, its intelligence was far too low compared to humans. Even using the method he had used to help the Jin Emperor on Little Wolf, he would not be able to teach it meditation, let alone cultivation.

Because of the tacit understanding developed with Ye Fan since its young age, combined with the emotional bond and Ye Fan’s ability to influence the thoughts of living beings after becoming an Innate Mage, Little Wolf could now roughly understand Ye Fan’s words, but it could not communicate with Ye Fan itself.

"Wuu wuu..."

At that moment, hearing Ye Fan’s words, Little Wolf whined pitifully as if to say, "I wish I could."

"I see you’re becoming better at acting cute. No wonder you keep Su Liuli and Situ Ruoshui laughing all day long, they almost want to take you to school with them."

Seeing this, Ye Fan couldn’t help but laugh and cry. Ever since Little Wolf had arrived at Ao Xiang Villa, it had become the darling of Su Liuli and Situ Ruoshui; as soon as they returned to the villa, they would definitely play with Little Wolf.

In fact, every morning before they went to school, they would come to the villa courtyard to play with Little Wolf for a while, saying they were saying morning greetings to Little Wolf.

At that, Little Wolf, looking dejected, let its ears droop completely down, as if to say: I’m almost tortured to death by those two girls!

Um?

Just as Ye Fan was about to say something more upon noticing Little Wolf’s act of cuteness, he suddenly sensed the presence of Situ Ruoshui and Su Liuli approaching and couldn’t help but smile wryly, "Speak of the devil, and the devil appears."

"Ao wuu~"

Little Wolf, whose body had been altered by various medicines used by Ye Fan and who improved daily by indirectly absorbing the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi while accompanying Ye Fan in cultivation, had its physical functions far surpassing ordinary animals and was highly sensitive. As soon as Ye Fan spoke, it howled and ran toward the villa’s courtyard gate.

Although it did not enjoy being tormented by Su Liuli and Situ Ruoshui, as soon as the two came to the villa courtyard each day, they would take it to have breakfast.

As expected, when Little Wolf reached the villa courtyard gate, Su Liuli and Situ Ruoshui appeared.

The end of November in dong hai had already brought a chill, and both were dressed in oversized coats paired with cotton black stockings and small boots.

The coats worn by the two were identical in style, Su Liuli’s being green and Situ Ruoshui’s off-white.

"Little Wolf, come, let’s go feed you breakfast!"

Under Ye Fan’s watch, Su Liuli and Situ Ruoshui walked up to Little Wolf, brimming with excitement, one petting its head and the other tugging its ear, perfectly in sync.

Little Wolf, out of respect for Ye Fan, didn’t struggle but just looked at them with a mournful expression.

"Hey, Pan Jueming is back. He asked me to see if you have time to meet him."

Sometime later, after Su Liuli and Situ Ruoshui had had their fill of tormenting Little Wolf, they suddenly remembered something and looked up at Ye Fan.

Unlike a month ago, Su Liuli’s gaze towards Ye Fan was no longer evasive, nor was it awkward, but was very straightforward.

All this, simply because she had made a change.

Although she had not explicitly expressed her love to Ye Fan, she no longer deliberately suppressed her feelings or intentionally kept a distance from Ye Fan. Instead, she let things take their natural course: she laughed when it was time to laugh, made noise when it was necessary, and still scorned when despising was due.

"Let him come over then."

Ye Fan smiled. Since the birthday party incident, he had been somewhat embarrassed when facing Su Liuli, but seeing her straightforward expression, he no longer dwelt on it, and continued to interact with her just as before, although they bickered much less now.

To put it precisely, Su Liuli’s contemptuous and demeaning remarks towards him had decreased significantly.

When Su Liuli and Situ Ruoshui led Little Wolf to another villa for breakfast, Pan Jueming arrived at the villa courtyard.

"Mr. Ye."
