Happy Little Farmer
Chapter 679

Chapter 679: Chapter 679

"This incident actually had some benefits at the time," Mr. Fan explained.

"At that time, the world was not peaceful, with Wandering Souls and servant ghosts roaming wildly. Once a ghost becomes established, it can forcefully assimilate nearby Wandering Souls into its domain. As long as one is not as unlucky as you, directly plunging into the heart of the ghost’s realm, this can significantly reduce the harm those souls cause to ordinary people."

"Given the state of the world at the time, relying only on the strength of people like us, it was difficult to deal with all the evil spirits. Often, we could only utilize the power of their own kind, making the lesser and greater ones into a collective that could be controlled."

"Mr. Fan, the person in question is in a hurry, so with that, I roughly understand," Yang Fan said, overlooking the continually changing scenery, quietly putting down his cellphone.

The white robe draped over her smooth shoulders like a shawl, trailing long on the ground, the pure white bellyband prominently supported, full and towering.

This woman did not have the somewhat ethereal form typical of other ghost domain masters, her body was very tangible, looking completely like a living, flesh and blood person.

"Have you consulted your master clearly? What exactly are you?" the woman floated up to Yang Fan.

The surroundings were still bustling with noise, the sounds of women’s coquetry, panting, and loud drinking echoing in his ears. Yang Fan and this woman stood in the corridor, yet it seemed as if they were isolated from everything around, in another world, another space.

"You know my identity better than I do," Yang Fan said with a bitter smile, "Tianji Sect has declined, declined to the point where my master is unwilling to even mention the name, so he didn’t tell me about this."

"The person you met back then was my Grandmaster, just now my master roughly told me about the situation."

The woman’s eyes, tranquil as autumn waters, looked at Yang Fan, suddenly revealing a hint of sadness, "So even the powerful Tianji Sect has also declined? Truly, the world changes unpredictably, in the blink of an eye, everything has transformed."

"I saw you were on the phone for a long time just now, did your master talk a lot with you?"

Yang Fan nodded, "He told me about Miss Liu."

"Your Grandmaster even told your master about that?" Lady Liu was somewhat surprised.

"My master said, my Grandmaster traveled the world and saw many things, but you are the most special person he ever encountered," Yang Fan considered his words carefully and deliberately slowed his pace, giving himself time to think.

Lady Liu perked up, a blush of girlish shyness on her face, she eagerly asked, "How did he describe me?"

"Innocent, loyal, bold in love and hate, a woman of valor, with a heart full of righteousness," Yang Fan said, using as concise vocabulary as possible.

This woman ended up tragically deceived by the sweet words of men; her most detested certainly would be flattering, obsequious men, a sensitive point Yang Fan definitely could not touch.

From the story told by Mr. Fan, Yang Fan roughly extracted such keywords, adding a bit more sophisticated elements. People certainly need to be praised, but definitely avoiding falling into sensitive points.

"Your Grandmaster is not one to compliment people; he is always stern-faced, and his words are all commanding — he would praise me like this? You’re not just saying this to get me to spare you, are you?" Lady Liu’s expression suddenly took on a teasing tone, like a cat playing with a mouse.

Yang Fan calmly stated, "These words are indeed mine, or to say, my recent summary."

"My Grandmaster did not directly say so. My master also did not say so just now, but my Grandmaster told the story of you very detailedly to my master, and when my master recounted this story just now, he used these words, so I tried to bring them up as concisely as possible."

"Miss, you should know what kind of person you are in the stories of my Grandmaster. That is how he sees you in his heart."

Lady Liu pursed her lips, suddenly displaying a demeanor like that of a young girl.

She looked up, silent for a while, then suddenly chuckled, "That cold-hearted fellow, to think he would regard me this way... He truly is rare, and he still remembers me... That is even rarer."

"You don’t need to be so tense, I won’t do anything to you. Not to mention that you’re an old acquaintance, just knowing my name is enough for me not to trouble you further."

"But I did not expect that Tianji Sect has declined so much. Is the ancestral court of Tianji Sect still around?"

Yang Fan shook his head, "I don’t know."

"How many people are there in Tianji Sect now?" Lady Liu asked again.

Yang Fan still shook his head, "I don’t know if there are others out there, the only ones I know are my master and me. He has never taken any disciples before; I am the first."

"Your lineage is the main lineage of Tianji Sect, and yet it has fallen to just two people over two generations? It seems Tianji Sect is indeed in decline," Lady Liu said somewhat sighingly, suddenly sizing up Yang Fan, "Your potential is not bad, but unfortunately, you are too weak, venturing alone in the Martial World without even something to protect yourself."

"This is what I’ve always disliked about Tianji Sect, at least prepare yourself some means of self-defense. Even when a Direct Disciple leaves the mountain to adventure in the Martial World, they only carry a Wooden Sword. The sect is extremely strict in taking disciples, yet the mortality rate of disciples is much higher than in other sects."

"Had you not met me today, you would certainly have already turned into a servant ghost. With your current strength, you could at most bully little ghosts, what else could you possibly handle?"

Yang Fan could only listen in silence.

He is weak, that is a fact, and there’s nothing he can’t admit to.

His only thought now is hoping this Female Ghost King stops talking and just lets him leave quickly.

"Were it not for your Grandmaster, I wouldn’t have such carefree days today. Meeting an old acquaintance again after three hundred years, I should look after you a bit, but there’s only so much useful stuff I can offer you here," Lady Liu said somewhat embarrassedly as she scratched her temple with her slender fingers, "By the way, do you like raising ghosts?"

"Um... I really don’t," Yang Fan was startled, "I’m afraid I might accidentally kill it."

"With your level of strength, you couldn’t kill my subordinates," Lady Liu glanced at Yang Fan and said indifferently.

Yang Fan: ...

He feels uncomfortable having such a thing around him.

But saying that out loud doesn’t seem very polite, especially since the one he’s talking to is the Female Ghost King. If he shows a disdainful attitude, isn’t he also showing disdain towards Lady Liu? Ghost Kings, particularly those that have grown powerful through grievances, often have unstable dispositions. If his words upset her, then he really might be in big trouble.

"I got it!" Lady Liu suddenly exclaimed with joy, "I once accidentally acquired a ruler, gifted by an old gentleman. It should be useful for you."
