Chapter 2182 - 2178: Life in the Future

The Dark Lady looked at Leizu and felt a very unfamiliar sensation. If an ancient cultivator were standing in front of her, she would sense it, as she herself was an ancient cultivator, even one of the mighty ones of old.

"Are you seeking revenge on Ye Fan? What did Ye Fan do to wrong you? What is your relationship with Ye Fan?" The Dark Lady felt very surprised, because the power emanating from this Leizu was very unfamiliar to her, and it wasn’t even from the Spiritual Energy system.

"Leizu" said, "My business is not for you to concern yourself with. You have no right to ask. I am going to take you with me now, to use your power against Ye Fan. Hehe, you might even consider it an honor. Being under my control is a rare fortune for you!"

The Dark Lady wanted to cry but had no tears, yet she had no room to struggle. Soon, she was swept up by the woman before her and then lost all control over her own body, finding herself in a strange environment.

"Who are you?" The Dark Lady looked around and asked sharply.

The woman replied, "This is where you will soon be imprisoned. You have done many wrongs in the past and have always been imprisoned by Ye Fan or others, so you should be familiar with this taste. Now, I will use you to deal with Ye Fan. You carry Ye Fan’s aura, even being under his control. If I can use you well, I can surely find Ye Fan’s weakness!"

"Despicable!" The Dark Lady gritted her teeth and said, but then she lost consciousness.

On Earth, Li Zhaojun was still in a hotel setting up an Array. She seemed to sense something and calculated with her fingers, as if she already knew the secret of the Dark Lady’s disappearance.

"Even the ancient cultivator has been taken, it seems something has gone wrong. I wonder if it is aimed at Ye Fan!" Li Zhaojun said.

At this moment, only Min Shang was with Li Zhaojun. Min Shang asked, "Sister, is Ye Fan alright? Why does everything that happens always relate to Ye Fan?"

Li Zhaojun looked at Min Shang and shook her head helplessly, "Many things are not as simple as we anticipate. Everything seems to have a certain inevitability. Sister, it is already a kind of fortune that we have cultivated to this level."

"Sister’s words carry sadness and helplessness. Will something bad happen? Can we still live like we used to, in peace?" Min Shang quietly looked at Li Zhaojun, hoping for a good answer.

"One day we will all live in peace, it’s just a matter of time. We just need to do well what lies ahead and plan everything in front of us to ensure our future is safe." Li Zhaojun said.

"I’ll do whatever Sister says, but I’m still worried about Ye Fan. From Sister’s words, it feels like we are surrounded by crises. I’m so worried, there’s a sense of insecurity, maybe I’m overthinking." Min Shang said.

Li Zhaojun smiled and said, "You need not worry, just act like you always have. I will arrange everything. Ye Fan’s departure from us is only temporary. During this time, we have to handle everything afterward for Ye Fan, so he has no worries. For now, you also need to focus on your cultivation, improve your spells, so that at critical times you can protect yourself and handle external matters."

"Sister never clearly explained what happened to Ye Fan. Everything points to him. Now, he needs help the most. I don’t know if Ye Fan is safe now. I haven’t been lazy in my cultivation. As long as Sister is here, I never worry about my spells." Min Shang’s face showed a hint of serenity, as if being by Li Zhaojun’s side kept danger at bay.

"Knowing too much isn’t necessarily a good thing for you. It adds burdens and worries—these are not things you should bear. Both Ye Fan and I have always hoped you can stay away from external disturbances, just happy and joyful, pursuing what you like. I regard you as my own sister, naturally hoping you won’t worry too much." Li Zhaojun said.

"I know that Sister and Ye Fan have treated me very well, and I have always regarded you two as family." Min Shang nodded thoughtfully.

"The heavenly tribulation is not something Ye Fan alone can confront. Ye Fan’s current disappearance is also caused by the tribulation, and we can’t contact him. Even the ancient cultivators have been taken away..." Li Zhaojun couldn’t continue, anxiety spreading across her heart. "Once the tribulation is over, I’ll take you to Earth to live like an Earth woman."

"What are women like on Earth? Do they lead happy lives? Are there not as many dangers?" Min Shang curiously looked at Li Zhaojun.

"Women on Earth are the true women. They just focus on enjoying life, shopping, playing, raising small animals, doing beauty routines, and live happily. They like getting together, discussing life, divining many things, and when many people gather, they must be happy. They have lots of ways to pass the time. Someday I’ll definitely take you to Earth, and you’ll love it there with your personality."

"What Sister says is very appealing. If I stayed with them, would I be like a fool, not understanding anything, needing others to teach me everything? I also like that kind of life, at least Sister and Ye Fan wouldn’t need to worry and be anxious, and no bad people would target us." Min Shang said happily.

"Earthlings have no spells, so they pose no threat to you. Earth is very safe, there are no bad people, so you just need to think about what you can do every day to be happy, and in the future, you’ll even have Earth friends!" Li Zhaojun smiled.

"Sister paints Earth so wonderfully. They’re just living like ordinary people. Now I wish we could start that life soon... When I had that kind of life before, I found it too bland, even somewhat unfulfilling, but now I long for that life... It’s probably because people are not so easily satisfied!" Li Zhaojun said with a sense of realization.

Min Shang said, "Sister, no matter what life is like in the future, as long as you and Ye Fan are with me, that’s enough. Sister, my greatest hope is that we can live together. It’s a very beautiful life, even if Ye Fan is not by our side in the future, as long as Sister is here, it seems like there’s nothing else to desire in life."

"Sister, don’t you want to keep pursuing higher levels of cultivation?" Li Zhaojun asked with a smile.

Min Shang shook her head, "I can’t pursue it anymore. I would rather hope like Sister that Ye Fan comes to protect us. If we can help Ye Fan this time, then afterward, we can peacefully be the little women Sister mentioned, or even live the kind of life Sister described!"

In the end, the sisters embraced each other, a warmth beyond words.
