Chapter 869: Chapter 965: Took Lu Xiaoman

When Ye Fan heard Lu Xiaoman mention wanting to see the hotel where he was staying, and then saw Lu Xiaoman’s face suddenly blush, he immediately understood Lu Xiaoman’s condition.

He didn’t feel sorry for Lu Xiaoman being foolishly infatuated and not giving himself a way out.

Hadn’t she clearly decided to break up with him out of heartbreak? Why was she still being so good to him, giving him so much?

Under Ye Fan’s scrutinizing gaze, Lu Xiaoman couldn’t help but lower her head, her face growing redder with embarrassment, her head hung even lower.

She told herself to hold herself together and not be shy, yet she simply couldn’t do it.

If a girl had even a bit of restraint, she would never take the initiative to suggest getting involved, much less make it a condition.

However, she had specifically brought it up. How could someone usually reserved and shy not be so embarrassed that she wished she could disappear into a hole in the ground?

After a while, Lu Xiaoman bravely held her head high, mustering courage to meet Ye Fan’s gaze.

“What? You don’t even want to let me see your hotel? Are you hiding some secret?” Lu Xiaoman deliberately said in a nonchalant tone.

Ye Fan looked at Lu Xiaoman, shook his head, opened his mouth, wanting to persuade Lu Xiaoman that it wasn’t necessary.

However, he immediately changed his mind.

If he didn’t even need her courage, how could he expect her to wait for him for two years? Although he knew Pan Gu’s Secret Realm wasn’t on Earth and was definitely dangerous, standing before its powerful inhabitants, he was as insignificant as an ant.

But without the determination to return alive, on what grounds could he ask her, Lu Xiaoman, to wait through the best years of her life for him?

So, he smiled, and a genuine smile emerged on his chiseled, rugged face.

“Of course, I would like to.” Ye Fan said.

Then, the two of them got up, walked past the tables and chairs, and as they headed towards the private room door, Ye Fan quietly reached out and gently held Lu Xiaoman’s soft hand.

Lu Xiaoman seemed oblivious, letting Ye Fan hold her little hand.

Thus, the two walked out of that upscale coffee tea room together, got into Ye Fan’s car, and finally headed towards Ye Fan’s hotel.

On the drive to the hotel, they didn’t say much.

Lu Xiaoman’s tender, rosy lips were slightly pursed, her little white hands resting on her lap, nervously clenching the white handbag’s straps.

Back when she discovered Ye Fan’s improper relationship with Mo Xiaoyan, she was indeed devastated. If it weren’t for the thought that her adoptive parents needed her support, she might have entertained thoughts of ending her life.

However, over the months, she unconsciously forgave Ye Fan in her heart. In fact, lately, she had continually missed Ye Fan.

This time, Ye Fan came to her, and she was genuinely happy. And upon learning that Ye Fan was going to search for the missing Li Zhaojun, she immediately sensed that this journey was more than just two years.

So she decided to give Ye Fan her body, which she had kept pure for over twenty years.

Otherwise, why would she have any reason to wait for him, no matter how long it took?

While driving, Ye Fan’s gaze occasionally drifted over to Lu Xiaoman.

Since their breakup and his promise to her, they hadn’t seen each other much. In these months, as he looked at her again today, he noticed that her aura had changed, becoming more mature and charming. She had turned into a true goddess.

More than twenty minutes later, the car stopped in the parking lot of a five-star international hotel.

Getting out of the car, Ye Fan held Lu Xiaoman’s smooth, delicate hand and walked towards the elevator.

Before long, they entered the presidential suite where Ye Fan had been staying these past few days.

As soon as the door closed, Lu Xiaoman’s response was far beyond what Ye Fan expected. She actively wrapped her snow-white arms around his neck, passionately seeking his kiss.

Ye Fan missed Lu Xiaoman as well and immediately embraced her tiny waist, lowering his head to fervently kiss her.

…

“Does it have to be this way?”

At the final moment, Ye Fan asked.

“Yes!” Even though she was unprecedentedly shy, Lu Xiaoman firmly nodded and replied, “Ye Fan, I love you, forever love you…”

“I will forever love you too…”

Ye Fan said affectionately, then…

The two finally became one…

…

…

The next morning, Ye Fan was set to rendezvous with his mentor and then board a plane to Golmud in Qinghai, to head towards Tai Xu Peak of Kunlun Mountain. The entrance to Pan Gu’s Secret Realm was at the top of Tai Xu Peak.

“Go without worry, I will take good care of myself and wait for your return.” Lu Xiaoman said, as they tightly held each other’s hands.

Ye Fan nodded, saying, “Xiaoman, rest assured, I will definitely return within two years. No matter the outcome, I will fulfill my promise to you! Wait for me.”

“Yes!” Lu Xiaoman firmly nodded in agreement.

Afterwards, Ye Fan left to meet with his mentor Zhuo Junwu and his third senior brother Shen Biancheng.

Zhuo Junwu had no intention of coming back from the journey into Pan Gu’s Secret Realm, and naturally, he brought Shen Biancheng along.

In a standalone villa in Hua Hai City under Shen Biancheng’s name, Ye Fan met with Zhuo Junwu and Shen Biancheng.

Seeing Shen Biancheng, Ye Fan was shocked, as he realized Shen’s presence was completely reined in, no longer glaring with sharpness that couldn’t be faced directly. Moreover, he appeared significantly younger.

“Senior brother, have you already broken through and reached the Void Core?” Ye Fan exclaimed in surprise.

“Haha…” Shen Biancheng laughed heartily, patting Ye Fan’s shoulder with his hand, saying, “Correct. Not long ago, I finally reached the Void Core stage.”

Ye Fan joyfully said, “Congratulations, senior brother.”

“Haha, it’s nothing. In the long journey of the immortal path, I haven’t even taken the first step.” Shen Biancheng said with a smile, but he was still quite proud.

The Golden Core Stage is indeed the real first step in the path of cultivating immortality, where fate is self-imposed, not dictated by Heaven. The Void Core Stage, though the pinnacle of ancient martial arts, is still merely forming a Void Core, and half a step away from the Golden Core Stage.

Unlike Ye Fan, who lacked interest in immortality, Shen Biancheng longed for it.

Pausing, he solemnly said, “Rest assured, I will also do my best to help you find your sister-in-law.”

“Thank you, senior brother.” Ye Fan said gratefully.

After Ye Fan and Shen Biancheng spoke briefly, he paid respects to Zhuo Junwu.

Zhuo Junwu nodded, handing over two cultivation-specific storage bags, one each to Ye Fan and Shen Biancheng, then said, “These are essential storage bags for cultivation. Though they appear small, the space inside is about three cubic meters, allowing you to carry items easily.”

“Additionally, each storage bag contains a magic sword, a bottle of Spirit Pills, and five low-grade Spirit Stones.” Zhuo Junwu said, “To use, simply drop blood on the storage bag to bind it and then use a trace amount of Spiritual Energy to retrieve the contents.”

“Thank you, Master!” Ye Fan and Shen Biancheng replied in unison.

Shen Biancheng immediately bound the bag with his blood, eager to retrieve the magic sword inside.

Upon taking out the sword, its uniqueness was instantly apparent, its chilling light so intense it lowered the room’s temperature by several degrees, demonstrating its formidable power.

Zhuo Junwu explained, “Magic Artifacts are the lowest level in cultivation treasures, with more powerful ones being Treasure Artifacts, Spiritual Artifacts, and Immortal Artifacts. Given your current levels, you can only use Magic Artifacts. You aren’t capable of handling anything above a Treasure Artifact.”

With a composed expression, Ye Fan bound his storage bag with blood but did not take out anything from inside.

A couple of hours later, Ye Fan and the others departed, heading to the airport, and then flew to Golmud City in Qinghai…

(Spoiler Alert: Ye Fan will not take too long in Pan Gu’s Secret Realm and will successfully find and bring back Li Zhaojun.)
