Chapter 2231 - 2227: Innocent and Inexperienced

Huan’er won’t leave.

She was originally just an ordinary young girl, even if she was the hope of her tribe, but fundamentally, there was no opportunity for her to capture the world’s attention.

Now, after following Ye Fan, she can finally improve her cultivation and become someone admired by others. She believes this is the most meaningful thing.

"Why should I leave?" Huan’er said stubbornly, "My goal is to kill him. I said that one day I would surpass him."

In her words, Huan’er looked at Ye Fan with a seemingly provocative gaze, and when Ye Fan looked at her, he also saw an inexplicable sense of unyielding strength.

Sang Yuan was somewhat surprised. She hurriedly explained to Ye Fan, "Master, don’t be surprised. She... is just this stubborn, but she definitely won’t threaten your safety."

Ye Fan had almost all his attention on Ming Wu. At that moment, he seemed very interested and took just two steps to walk over to Huan’er. Huan’er’s height was not tall; he lowered his head to scrutinize the girl who still seemed a bit fearful. Indeed, he saw many things on her that he admired.

"Master, you..." Sang Yuan thought Ye Fan would do something to Huan’er, wanting to remind him not to hurt her. It’s not because of sympathy for Huan’er but fear that once Ye Fan regains his memories, he would blame her, which is not the result she hopes to see.

Ye Fan stretched out his hand in front of Huan’er, lifting her chin, then examined the girl before him, showing a smile: "It seems your determination is strong. You must kill me, no matter what?"

At that moment, Ye Fan didn’t use his spiritual power to attack the girl because he knew the girl before him posed no threat, and her power was very weak, to the point that he deemed it insignificant.

"I... I don’t know." Huan’er was nervous instead, not knowing how to answer Ye Fan.

Ye Fan chuckled and leaned forward to kiss her. Huan’er’s eyes suddenly widened; she seemed surprised by Ye Fan’s domineering and rude act. She didn’t react at first and didn’t close her eyes.

But after a while, she eventually closed her eyes. This feeling of being kissed by a man she admired and who could provide her with strong power made her feel good--something she never dared to imagine before.

"It seems that Master indeed likes her?" Sang Yuan finally relaxed and said.

Ye Fan didn’t continue to make things difficult for Huan’er. Once he regained his original state, he smiled and looked at Sang Yuan: "Perhaps there are indeed things I like about her. Seeing her is like finding a shadow I very much like in my heart. As you said, she indeed resembles my wife, which is why I accepted her."

"No." Huan’er was dissatisfied with this statement, saying, "I’m not because of anyone; I am myself. You can’t associate me with someone in your heart! That’s unfair to me!"

"Do you understand what fairness is? In front of Master, you are at most just a servant. Back then it was Master who brought you out; otherwise, you’d be just a mortal for your entire life, unable even to reach the basic Golden Core Stage. You have flaws in your cultivation..."

Sang Yuan wanted to properly educate the naive girl, speaking almost like an elder sister or mistress to Huan’er.

When she was halfway through her speech, Ye Fan reached out to interrupt her. Sang Yuan had to obediently kneel down and lower her head because Ye Fan’s right hand was already on her head.

"I like a girl with a personality. No matter what she thinks, as long as her heart is kind and pure, that’s enough!"

Ye Fan finished, then turned to look at Ming Wu, who was watching him as well.

Obviously, Ye Fan’s sudden halt made Ming Wu feel apprehensive. It wasn’t just about the man-woman relationship here; Ming Wu understood she needed to compete with these two women who posed a threat—a threat made real by her instincts: one being Huan’er and the other Sang Yuan, whom she couldn’t possibly rival.

"It’s time for you to do what you need to do!" Ye Fan extended his left hand out, placing it on Huan’er’s head, patting her hair. Though Huan’er seemed uncomfortable, she still stepped forward to Ye Fan and was embraced by him.

Ye Fan said, "Don’t you want to defeat me? The power in you is insufficient to pose any threat to me. You need to obtain strength from other sources—this is your best opportunity..."

Sang Yuan moved closer to Ye Fan before Huan’er, understanding Ye Fan’s intention better.

Huan’er looked down at Sang Yuan, seeming to have realized something, and slowly knelt down herself. When she looked at Sang Yuan, Sang Yuan didn’t pay any attention to her, much like they were competitors. Sang Yuan clearly understood that Huan’er might affect her status; at many times, she didn’t need to help Huan’er at all.

Ye Fan approached the chair and sat down, suddenly able to embrace from both sides.

It was a good feeling, a feeling that relaxed him and allowed him to think about some things.

When he closed his eyes, a gentle sensation began to spread, both familiar and awkward, so much so that he did not need to say much. In this aspect, Sang Yuan would manage very well.

Ming Wu, to gain Ye Fan’s favor, had already replayed the events of the day in her mind numerous times, so she could control the situation easily. Once she joined Sang Yuan, Ye Fan no longer needed to worry about the upcoming events.

The most difficult part was for Huan’er, who was simply an oblivious girl whose mind held thoughts completely detached from the situation unfolding before her.

She didn’t know how to please Ye Fan and thus could only follow Ming Wu and Sang Yuan’s example.

After a long time, Ye Fan opened his eyes and looked at the three women who were attentive before him. His hand fell on Huan’er’s head, and she immediately raised her head to look at Ye Fan, eager to know his thoughts.

"Move along." Ye Fan said, "I don’t want to waste too much time here anymore. There’s no time for contemplating these trivial entanglements. I want to finish what I must do promptly."

Sang Yuan, like a mistress, said to the two women beside her, "What are you waiting for? Isn’t this what you expected? One for the tribe, the other for your cultivation... Now Master will grant these things to you!"
