Chapter 835: Chapter 835: Left Dao Nascent Soul

Clang—

Jiang Fan’s eyes widened.

The wine glass in his hand slipped and smashed onto the ground.

It hit the ground with a buzzing sound.

Just like his head was buzzing at this moment.

What did the Second Crown Prince call him?

Dad?

Yizhu Demon Emperor was also stunned, her beautiful eyes wide open.

No.

Was there some mistake?

How could the son call someone Dad?

Both were baffled by the sudden “Dad” call.

They both petrified in their seats.

The third princess blinked and quickly realized.

She hurried to the Second Crown Prince’s side.

And knelt down with him.

“Dad.”

“Please accept the daughter’s bow.”

Though she didn’t understand why her brother would acknowledge a new father.

In her memory, her brother disliked those men close to their mother more than she did.

Logically, he would reject a new father more than anyone.

But since her brother accepted it.

She, as his sister, would of course support him unconditionally.

At this moment.

Jiang Fan and Yizhu Demon Emperor finally snapped back to reality.

They both gasped.

“This, this, this… Sister Yizhu, this won’t do!”

Jiang Fan was frightened.

He was unmarried, and suddenly had a son and a daughter!

Anyone would be scared out of their wits!

Yizhu Demon Emperor slapped the table, trembling as she spoke, “Are you, are you two crazy?”

“What nonsense are you shouting?”

“I wanted you to recognize him as a god-uncle!”

“Not as your father!”

As she spoke, her face turned as red as a beet.

Her eyes were so ashamed that tears almost came out.

Thankfully, Vice Building Owner Gu wasn’t present.

Otherwise, if today’s events got out, she would rather die.

“Ah?”

The Second Crown Prince looked confused, “Mother, weren’t you going to announce being with Young Master Jiang?”

“I was quite supportive of you two.”

Yizhu Demon Emperor grabbed a wine glass and threw it at him, both embarrassed and angry:

“Shut up!”

“Still talking nonsense!”

The Second Crown Prince got up with a face full of resentment.

Muttered, “Now you’re blaming me.”

“When you hugged Jiang Fan crying, you weren’t like that.”

Yizhu Demon Emperor’s face turned even redder.

Like a fully ripe tomato, squeezing it could make juice flow.

The Second Crown Prince continued to mumble unwisely.

“Besides, you yourself said Jiang Fan’s kindness was too great to repay.”

“I just thought he wanted to marry into the family as compensation.”

“And you made such a ceremonious fuss, talking about respect and not neglecting him.”

“How could I not misunderstand?”

The third princess couldn’t help muttering:

“Honestly, it’s not Second Brother’s fault for misunderstanding you two.”

Yizhu Demon Emperor was utterly embarrassed.

Wished she could find a hole to crawl into.

How did it turn out like this?

“Ahem, ahem~”

Jiang Fan was so flustered his face turned red, he cleared his throat and said:

“Just a little misunderstanding, nothing to worry about, it’s fine.”

“Thank you, Sister Yizhu, for thinking so highly of me.”

“I’ll take a drink to that, from now on, we will be sworn siblings.”

Yizhu Demon Emperor was utterly embarrassed, picked up the wine glass, and immediately scolded the prince and princess:

“What are you still standing there for?”

“Aren’t you going to greet your god-uncle?”

The Second Crown Prince could only pick up the wine glass, face Jiang Fan, and say, “Meng Cheng greets Uncle Jiang.”

The third princess picked up the wine jug, drank it all, and said, “Meng Kong greets Uncle Jiang.”

Jiang Fan felt awkward.

The two of them weren’t any younger than him.

Being called uncle by them felt truly embarrassing.

But having a demon emperor as a sworn sister, why not?

He raised his wine glass, clinked it with Yizhu Demon Emperor’s:

“God-sister!”

“God-brother!”

The two exchanged a smile.

This sworn sibling bond was set.

“Brother Fan, what do you plan to do next?”

Yizhu Demon Emperor asked with some suggestion.

Jiang Fan replied without hesitation, “Once Vice Building Master Gu heals my Nascent Soul injury, I’ll return to the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion.”

“To prepare for the next trip to the underworld.”

Yizhu Demon Emperor rested her delicate hand on her chin, musing:

“I thought you were going to the South Sea.”

“Long Legs… Old Dream Demon Emperor said she’d send you a Protective Night Pearl.”

“Aren’t you planning to get it soon?”

“If you take too long, you’ll lose out if Old Dream Demon Emperor changes her mind.”

Jiang Fan suddenly remembered.

On that day, the three Sea Demon Emperors promised him benefits.

The South Sea Demon Emperor said that when he went to the South Sea, she would pick a Night Pearl for him.

“What’s a Protective Night Pearl?”

Jiang Fan curiously asked.

Since Yizhu Demon Emperor brought it up, it must be valuable.

Yizhu Demon Emperor said, “It’s for defense.”

“The highest-grade Protective Night Pearl can withstand a Nascent Soul Strike.”

What?

Jiang Fan was shocked.

The Protective Night Pearl was that valuable?

He wasn’t without any defensive magical treasures.

For example, the Sky Observation Treasure could reflect enemies’ attacks.

But in terms of practical effect, it could only reflect 70% of the attacks from the Nascent Soul Realm at most.

The remaining 30% would still hit him, causing serious injuries.

He didn’t have a single treasure that could truly defend against a Nascent Soul Strike.

He immediately changed his plan and said, “Then I’ll go to the South Sea first.”

Yizhu Demon Emperor nodded slightly and said, “The Old Dream Demon Emperor’s promise to you probably won’t be of the highest-grade Night Pearl.”

“But never mind, you have a trump card, you don’t need to fear her not giving the top-grade Protective Night Pearl.”

She took out the Cold Cicada Silence Pill recipe.

It was handwritten by her, with her notes on the side.

“After verification, the pill recipe is genuine.”

She handed the pill recipe to Jiang Fan and said:

“Don’t be polite with the Old Dream Demon Emperor.”

“Demand ten or eight of the highest-grade Protective Night Pearls, make her suffer best.”

“Anyway, she will definitely give it in order to get the Cold Cicada Silence Pill recipe.”

Uh—

Jiang Fan touched his nose.

No need to think to know, top-grade Protective Night Pearls are certainly extremely rare.

Each one is a priceless treasure.

“Sister Yizhu, aren’t you two good sisters?”

“Wouldn’t overcharging her hurt your relationship?”

Yizhu Demon Emperor sneered, “We siblings worked hard to get this pill recipe.”

“Are we supposed to give her a free lunch?”

“Moreover, why talk about relationships? It hurts financially!”

“Come on, drink!”

Jiang Fan couldn’t help but laugh.

Alright.

This time he had an imperial decree to extort.

When Old Dream Demon Emperor ends up howling from being fleeced, she can’t blame Jiang Fan for being ruthless.

After several rounds of drinking.

Yizhu Demon Emperor, somewhat drunk, vented harshly about Sanqing Mountain, listing their dirty deeds over the years.

The focus of her scolding was Xuanyang, that old lecher.

Such an old age yet still wanting to dominate her!

Speaking of this person, Jiang Fan couldn’t help but be curious, and asked:

“Sister Yizhu, why does Xuanyang seem somewhat… like he’s at the bottom?”

“The Sky Demon Emperor keeps defeating him.”

“Even you, heavily injured, could make him flee in fear.”

“Vice Building Master Gu’s Nascent Soul Realm hasn’t even recovered, yet he was beaten by her.”

“Why is he so weak?”

Yizhu Demon Emperor said disdainfully, “A Left Dao Nascent Soul, how strong do you expect him to be?”

The Left Dao of the fringe sects?

Jiang Fan pondered.

Yizhu Demon Emperor saw that Jiang Fan seemed completely unaware of the Nascent Soul Realm, so she said:

“It seems the Pavilion Master of Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion hasn’t had time to explain the Nascent Soul Realm to you.”

“Let me tell you about it.”

“The Nascent Soul Realm is unique to those practicing magic cultivation, which is the mainstream method of cultivation among all beings, including our Demon Race.”

“Aside from magic cultivation, there are also body refinement, divine cultivation, Buddhist cultivation, Confucian cultivation, and other sects.”

“They are collectively known as the Left Dao.”

Jiang Fan found that he completely understood.

Because he actually knew most of them, and had even encountered some.
