Chapter 385: Chapter 343: Only by Holding on Can We Achieve Something

After the three-day New Year’s holiday, people resumed their busy lives, and the number of vehicles on the streets noticeably increased. Even before the evening rush hour, some main roads in Yanjing City were already congested, and the airport expressway junction was lined with a long queue of cars.

"Darling, with the traffic being so bad, why don’t you skip going back today and spend another night with your auntie?"

At the airport expressway junction, sitting in the luxurious Rolls-Royce Phantom Presidential Edition and playing the role of the driver, Chu Ji fluttered her captivating big eyes at Ye Fan and said in a sweet, breathy tone.

As she spoke, whether intentionally or unintentionally, she leaned forward slightly, revealing a tantalizing glimpse of her deep cleavage. Paired with her bewitching look and flirtatious words, anyone unaware of the situation might think she was seducing Ye Fan into committing a crime.

"I’ve already made plans to have dinner with Yuxin and the others tonight; I must go back."

Since coming down from the mountain, Ye Fan’s interactions with Chu Ji had become more frequent. Although he had grown accustomed to Chu Ji’s teasing and seductive behavior, it still bothered him, so he turned his attention out the window, adopting an "out of sight, out of mind" attitude.

"Giggle~"

Chu Ji was amused by Ye Fan’s reaction, and she laughed charmingly, "I say, my dear, is your auntie really that scary? Look how frightened you are."

"It’s not about being scared; it’s about being mindful of appearances," Ye Fan rolled his eyes, "Whether you’re my senior sister or my auntie, you can’t behave like this... People who don’t know might think I’m a kept man."

"A kept man is nice. I, your old lady, love nothing more than an older cow eating tender grass," Chu Ji winked, her eyes brimming with allure.

"If you keep this up, the next time I see the old man, I’ll tell him you tried to seduce me," Ye Fan threatened with a harsh tone.

"Go on and tell. If the master asks about it, I’ll just say I fancy your Extremely Yang Body and want to Dual Cultivate with you to break through to the Gang Qi realm," Chu Ji said shamelessly.

"——"

Ye Fan was completely defeated by Chu Ji’s words.

"Haha, scared, aren’t you? If you are, then stop bluffing in front of your auntie. You’re still too green to compete with me," Chu Ji said proudly, accentuating her curves.

"By the way, I once heard the old man say that for an Innate Great Perfection cultivator to break through to the Gang Qi realm, not only does one need profound Martial Arts insight, but the spiritual cultivation must also meet extremely high standards, with almost no hope for those who lack great courage."

Remembering Chu Ji’s earlier mention of the Gang Qi realm, Ye Fan felt intrigued and asked, "What exactly is the situation?"

"It’s still too early for you to worry about this, and knowing too much ahead of time won’t benefit your cultivation. You should focus on improving your strength. When you reach Innate Great Perfection, you’ll figure it out on your own," Chu Ji teased.

Ye Fan, unable to help but smile wryly, continued to inquire, "You’ve been at Innate Great Perfection for almost ten years; why haven’t you entered the Gang Qi realm yet?"

"At first, I practiced the Xuan Sha Meditation Technique taught by master. Later, I learned another meditation technique from your mother. Although my cultivation speed was extremely fast and I entered the Innate Great Perfection realm early, my foundation wasn’t stable, and my spiritual cultivation fell behind, leaving me stuck here for these years," Chu Ji said with a wistful smile, then shifted the conversation back to Ye Fan, "That’s why master went to great lengths to temper you below the Innate realm, aiming to solidify your foundation. Only with a solid foundation will your future achievements be higher."

"I see."

Ye Fan suddenly realized, and then he saw that Chu Ji’s brow was slightly furrowed, her expression a bit complicated. He felt that Chu Ji seemed to have an unresolved issue in her heart, just like he had before.

"Although this trip to Yanjing led you to a cooperation agreement with the two old guys from the Ye Family and made you famous throughout Huaxia by injuring Ye Cang and crippling Ye Long, there’s a saying, ’fame is a double-edged sword.’ Whether it’s a blessing or a curse, it’s still hard to say."

Shortly after, while Ye Fan hesitated about whether to ask Chu Ji about the knot in her heart, Chu Ji suddenly composed herself, looking slightly worried, she said, "After you leave Yanjing, you must be careful in everything. If you encounter danger, and things get really tough, your life is the most important thing—don’t try to tough it out."

"Don’t worry. As long as my martial arts cultivation breaks through to the Postnatal Great Success Realm, with the advantage of dual cultivation of magic and martial arts, absolutely no one below the half-step Gang Qi realm will be able to threaten me!"

Ye Fan said confidently. Now, his martial arts cultivation was on the verge of breaking into the Innate Great Success, and it was only a matter of time.

"Alright."

Thinking about how Ye Fan, with the advantage of dual cultivation, successively defeated Shi Yan and Shi Ling, two Black Dragon Guards, the Wudang martial arts genius Murong Sheng, and the arrogant Ye Long, Chu Ji was relieved.

An hour later, a plane flying from Yanjing to the Eastern Sea took off on time, piercing the clouds like a small bird.

"Xiao Fan, many people are waiting to see you fail, but my master and I are waiting for you to grow."

Outside the airport, Chu Ji watched the airplane enter the clouds and said softly, "I initially planned to protect you secretly, but my master said the next six months of trials will be crucial to your future. Only by passing them successfully can you truly make great strides in your development."

As her voice fell, Chu Ji withdrew her gaze and suddenly stepped on the gas pedal. The impressive Rolls-Royce Phantom Presidential Edition shot out and disappeared into the traffic.

Two hours later.

Eastern Sea, Ao Xiang Villa.

Because she was having dinner with Ye Fan tonight, Su Jindi, who had skipped her tutorial class to return to the villa, drove a Bentley SUV and arrived at the No. 6 villa in the villa estate.

When Situ Chen was alive, the No. 6 villa was specifically used to entertain distinguished guests. After Situ Chen’s death, it became Ye Fan’s residence and was also the center of the Nine Star Gathering Spirit Array Ye Fan had set up in Ao Xiang Villa, where the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi was a bit more abundant.

Standing at the entrance of the villa, Situ Ruoshui had already arrived ahead of time.

Today, she wore a snow-white cap, a white down jacket, black and white striped cotton stockings, and snow-white short boots on her feet, appearing as if she had stepped right out of a fairy tale, the spitting image of Princess Bai Xue, adorable to the extreme.

"Where’s Su Liuli?"

Seeing that only Situ Ruoshui was standing at the entrance of the villa, Su Jindi rolled down the car window and stuck his head out to ask.

Even though Su Liuli was older than he was, due to a history of bickering with her since childhood, he rarely called her ’Sister,’ usually calling her by name directly.

"Sister Liuli said that she’s about to form a Power Seed inside her body, and told us to wait a little bit," said Situ Ruoshui as she approached, speaking in a reserved tone.

"Nonsense, she’s been hogging Brother Ye’s villa for cultivation these past few days, and now she suddenly claims to form a Power Seed inside her body right when Brother Ye is due to return?"

Su Jindi replied incredulously, "She told us to wait just a short while, but I bet she won’t succeed even by tomorrow morning. Obviously, she’s trying to prevent us from dining with Brother Ye—no, I’m going to drag her over here."

"I’ll go," Su Yuxin said with a wry smile, taking the initiative to push the car door open and step out.

Like Situ Ruoshui, she had also dressed up specially for today. She let her usually pinned-up hair down, wore light makeup on her face, and donned a black mink coat over a tight black base shirt. Her long, beautiful legs were encased in tight leather pants, and her feet were clad in a pair of long boots.

Over the past six months, under Chu Ji’s deliberate training, the aura of a strong woman emanating from her had grown increasingly pronounced. It merged with the unique aura of a martial artist, shedding some of her previous cold and noble air and gaining a bit more dominance, vaguely taking on the demeanor of a queen.

Clack! Clack!

After getting out of the car, Su Yuxin strode towards the villa courtyard with Situ Ruoshui following behind.

In the villa yard, Su Liuli, wearing a dirty tracksuit, was sitting cross-legged on the jade stone that had absorbed essence qi, with her eyes closed, continuously drawing in the heaven and earth primordial qi into her body.

Little Wolf sprawled lazily beside the jade stone, his ears drooping listlessly as he watched Su Liuli.

"Ah, why go through all this?" Su Yuxin sighed inwardly as she entered the yard and saw Su Liuli’s stubborn and earnest demeanor.

Due to her competitive and persistent nature, Su Liuli had refused Ye Fan’s offer to help her form a power seed in her body. Since then, she had devoted all her energy to cultivation, attempting to form the power seed through her own efforts.

However—

Forming a power seed through meditation was a sign of becoming a martial artist, and without guidance, it was very difficult to achieve success on one’s own.

Although Su Yuxin, Situ Ruoshui, and Su Jindi were now considered cultivators, they all became cultivators indirectly with Ye Fan’s help, and their cultivation experience was nearly non-existent. Even if they wanted to help Su Liuli, they were essentially incapable.

Without guidance, Su Liuli relied on her own groping efforts, and not only did she fail to form a power seed in her body, but she was also unable to eat or sleep well after each day of cultivation. In just over a month, she had lost a full twenty pounds and looked listless, lacking the spiritual energy of a martial artist.

What Su Yuxin didn’t know was that in the days following Ye Fan’s departure, Su Liuli had fainted on the jade stone one night. Unnoticed, she was exposed to the cold wind all night until she woke up on her own in the morning. The next day, she fell seriously ill.

Today, Su Liuli’s illness had just recovered, yet she threw herself back into full-hearted cultivation.

"Liuli."

After sighing, Su Yuxin, accompanied by Situ Ruoshui, walked toward Su Liuli, calling out to her as they went.

No response.

On the jade stone, Su Liuli remained motionless as if she hadn’t heard Su Yuxin’s call, maintaining her meditation pose while her charming face was reddened by the cold wind.

Seeing this, Su Yuxin sighed again, ready to go forward and wake Su Liuli.

Just then!

Su Liuli suddenly opened her eyes, shooting out an excited light!

"The power seed! It’s the power seed! Haha... I’ve succeeded!!"

Under the setting sun, Su Liuli, oblivious to the presence of Su Yuxin and Situ Ruoshui, basked in the joy of her success, ecstatically dancing and gesticulating.

"Uh..."

Hearing Su Liuli’s words and seeing her excitement, both Su Yuxin and Situ Ruoshui were momentarily stunned.

"Yuxin, Ruoshui, I’ve successfully formed a power seed in my body! Really!!"

Then, Su Liuli noticed the others beside her. Turning her head and seeing Su Yuxin and Situ Ruoshui, she immediately stood up from the jade stone, trembling with excitement.

"Sister Liuli, congratulations," Situ Ruoshui offered her congratulations, coming back to her senses from the surprise.

And Su Yuxin, she felt a strange pang of heartache.

She knew.

To achieve this, Su Liuli had paid a heavy price, passed out many times, but never gave up, always persevering with terrifying willpower!

"Congratulations, Liuli, you did it! You’re stronger than any of us!" After the heartache, Su Yuxin couldn’t help but step forward and hug Su Liuli tightly, smiling as she offered her congratulations.

Strong??

"I just don’t want to be his burden," Su Liuli’s body stiffened as she thought to herself, her head buried and eyes red.

Only with a firm grasp, can one achieve success.

This day.

She had waited too long... too long!
