Supreme Cultivation Master

Chapter 630: Chapter 629: The Contradiction Gradually Emerges

Embarrassed, Ye Fan quickly said, "Watch your words. She’s the Seven-Colored Demon Empress!"

"Hmph! She’s just a Fox Demon. I can’t stand the seductive way she looks only at you and no one else. Tell me, what’s going on between you two?" Mu Keqing retorted defiantly.

She had just realized that, aside from her looks being on par, she was completely outmatched by the Seven-Colored Demon Empress in terms of physique, status, reputation, and power. Why did he have to find me such a formidable rival? The pressure is immense!

At that moment, Ye Fan said helplessly, "She’s your elder. Can’t you show her some respect?"

"Hmph! All I know is I can’t stand watching you two make eyes at each other like some illicit couple!" Mu Keqing cursed.

That was crossing a line. Ye Fan promptly swatted her on the bottom. Immediately, Mu Keqing’s face turned red, and the intimate contact instantly extinguished her anger.

"You’re so annoying!" she complained, before shyly running away.

After she was gone, Ye Fan finally breathed a sigh of relief. Damn it, finally some peace and quiet. I refuse to believe I can’t handle you!

Ye Fan was strolling alone near the Martial Arena when he saw Yun Xiao Zhi Shui walking toward him. Enemies were truly destined to cross paths. Yun Xiao Zhi Shui carried himself with an air of superiority, looking down on everything. As they were about to pass each other on the narrow path, their shoulders bumped.

Ye Fan felt a surge of power from Yun Xiao Zhi Shui, a deliberate attempt to put him in his place. Without a word, he unleashed his own power in response. Caught off guard, Yun Xiao Zhi Shui staggered backward.

He cursed at Ye Fan, "Are you freaking blind?"

"Say that again," Ye Fan said coldly. He was not one to back down from a fight.

Yun Xiao Zhi Shui shouted again, "Are you blind?" He taunted, "Did you hear me this time?"

Ye Fan immediately shot forward, lunging at him. freewēbnoveℓ.com

"A pathetic clown!" Yun Xiao Zhi Shui roared, surging to meet the attack as their conflict erupted. freёwebnoѵel.com

BAM!

With one strike, the corridor was instantly pulverized. Both of them were pushed back several steps. Just as they were about to clash for a second time, staff from the Martial Arena arrived to maintain order. They were forced to stand down, but Ye Fan could see the profound coldness in Yun Xiao Zhi Shui’s gaze.

Back at his residence, Ye Fan discovered that the Red Sand Main God and the Evil Punishment Main God were already in his room.

Those two old perverts... Can’t they discuss things without barging into my room? It’s a good thing I don’t have any strange habits, or I’d have been completely exposed.

At that moment, the Red Sand Main God fixed his gaze on Ye Fan.

"Senior!" Ye Fan said respectfully.

"No need for formalities. The Evil Punishment Main God has already told me about you. I’ve heard your name for a long time now," the Red Sand Main God said calmly. "Framing my son, making my daughter fall for you... I’ve long wanted to meet the man responsible."

Ye Fan replied awkwardly, "You’re quite the joker, Senior." Seeing that the Red Sand Main God made no move against him, Ye Fan thought, He isn’t so bad after all.

The Red Sand Main God then said, "I won’t hold the past against you, but you had better be careful from now on!"

Is that a threat? Damn it! Despite his internal frustration, he replied to the Red Sand Main God, "This junior understands."

He had actually yielded. Yes, he yielded, but it was a tactical retreat since he had no other choice. If he didn’t, he stood no chance against one of the Divine Domain’s most prominent figures. Besides, a wise man knows when to bend and when to stand firm. What was there to fear in such a small compromise?

The Evil Punishment Main God laughed. He said to the Red Sand Main God, "Stop threatening my Junior Brother. I won’t stand for it. Besides, that’s not why we came here today." He then turned to Ye Fan. "Junior Brother, I want to ask you, what are your thoughts on the current situation?"

"What situation?" Ye Fan asked.

"These geniuses, of course!" the Red Sand Main God replied.

Ye Fan said, "The others are no threat. The only ones who can truly challenge us are Fu Hu and Huang Ji."

Both Main Gods nodded. In the entire Divine Domain, those two were among the very best, possessing the strongest techniques and resources.

The Evil Punishment Main God then asked, "Junior Brother, what’s your proposed strategy for the arena tomorrow?"

Ye Fan replied, "We have the fewest people, and Jue Wuqing isn’t in our camp. I think as long as they avoid a direct confrontation with those two, everyone else should get on stage and test their strength."

The two nodded slightly. Indeed, Ye Fan’s plan was very reasonable.

At that moment, the Red Sand Main God asked Ye Fan, "And if you were to face either of them, what are your odds?"

"Seventy percent!" Ye Fan replied instantly.

The Red Sand Main God didn’t know the extent of Ye Fan’s combat prowess; he had only heard the Evil Punishment Main God’s lofty praise of him. Therefore, he said, "Do your best. This battle will determine if our Righteous Divine Lineage can rise again.

"The Ancestor of Tianyuan and I were like brothers. Since his death, our Righteous Divine Lineage has fallen on hard times, so tomorrow’s battle rests on your shoulders. If you prove to be no match for them, I will not be betting on you. Do you understand what I mean?"

Understanding his meaning, Ye Fan replied, "I will do my absolute best."

The two chatted with him briefly and then left. Ordinarily, they would have detailed his opponents’ special abilities and techniques to help him prepare. But they didn’t. They believed that if Ye Fan couldn’t discover his opponents’ weaknesses on his own, then he wasn’t worthy of their support. Of course, even with the battle looming, Ye Fan was resolute and had a fair amount of confidence in himself.

Just as Ye Fan had drifted off to sleep, he sensed something moving nearby. He immediately opened his eyes, only to find the Seven-Colored Demon Empress standing at his bedside.

"Wife!" he exclaimed.

"Shut up!" the Seven-Colored Demon Empress snapped.

Fine. Ye Fan obediently shut his mouth. He didn’t know why, but while he could easily handle anyone else, he was at a complete loss when it came to her. After all, in both combat prowess and beauty, she was one of the supreme figures in the entire Divine Domain.

At that moment, she said to him, "Tomorrow is the final battle. I expect you to give it your all, because every genius in the Divine Domain is your enemy! If you can’t even overcome this hurdle, then you have no right to compete with the Main God Level masters!"

Ye Fan asked, "Is this your way of showing you’re concerned about me?"

"I just don’t want to see you die a needless death!" the Seven-Colored Demon Empress said coldly.

How frustrating! She obviously cares about me, so why won’t she admit it? It’s official, I have a thing for women who act tough but are soft on the inside.

BANG!

Just then, the door was thrown open. Mu Keqing burst in, giving Ye Fan the shock of his life.

"You two illicit lovers! I’ve caught you red-handed! What do you have to say for yourselves now?" she shrieked.

Ye Fan frantically winked at Mu Keqing, but in her fury, she paid him no mind.

The Seven-Colored Demon Empress shot Ye Fan a fierce glare, then turned to Mu Keqing and said, "Even your father, the Red Sand Main God, wouldn’t dare speak to me like that!"
