The fireball seemed to be heading straight towards her.
"No way? Is it really just a coincidence?"
True Word Venerable was a bit incredulous.
But as the fireball got closer, it really was coming at her.
She tried to step back a bit, but the fireball just changed direction, still aiming at her.
"Why are you coming at me?"
"Isnāt Hunyuan State big enough for you to land elsewhere?"
True Word Venerable felt a bit panicked; such a strong impact wasnāt life-threatening but would indeed be unpleasant if it hit her.
As the huge fireball approached, she tried to dash out of the courtyard.
But the seals placed by Xingyuan Venerable around prevented her from leaving.
"Let me out! Quickly, let me out!"
She was utterly frantic, her figure flickering continuously.
But no matter how she flickered, she couldnāt escape the courtyard!
She could only watch helplessly as the enormous fireball crashed into her.
"Jiang Fan! You bastard... ah!"
A miserable groan was drowned out by the thunderous explosion of the cosmic collision.
Even with the seal from Xingyuan Venerable, a remote little yard was smashed into a huge charred pit engulfed in flames.
As the flames extinguished, black smoke rolled.
At the center of the charred pit lay a man and a woman, both completely nude.
Jiang Fan was tightly hugging True Word Venerable from behind.
The powerful impact and flames had burned their clothing to ashes, revealing their exceptionally fair bodies.
"Hiss! Ouch!"
True Word Venerableās head was spinning from the impact, her chest a turmoil of blood and energy.
Her whole body felt as though her bones were disassembled.
But this wasnāt the worst of it.
She suddenly felt a twinge of pain in her chest.
Looking down, she saw Jiang Fanās big hand tightly grasping two True Whites!
She immediately snapped into awareness, screaming frantically: "Jiang Fan!"
"Iāll kill you!"
The fainted Jiang Fan was jolted awake by the shout, mumbling dizzily, "Wha-whatās happening?"
As he opened his eyes, he saw a jade-like fair back.
And a head turned around, eyes ablaze with monstrous fury.
Jiang Fan was stunned for a moment, slightly dazed, "True Word Venerable?"
"How am I here?"
"And what are we doing?"
He instinctively squeezed, instantly realizing what he was holding onto.
Frightened, he quickly withdrew his hand, hastily saying, "I-I didnāt mean to!"
Without a word, True Word Venerable raised a force and hit Jiang Fan on the forehead, blocking off the Heavenly Eye Crystal.
Then, her five fingers turned into claws, grabbing backward toward Jiang Fan.
Her face frosty, she said, "Youāre dead, youāre dead for sure!"
"Iāll definitely snip you!!!"
But this grab caught nothing but air.
Turning her head to look.
Jiang Fan had long used the Space Technique, teleporting far away.
He was running while putting on clothes.
"Donāt think about escaping!" True Word Venerable got up to chase but felt a chill and realized she was naked!
She wanted to chase but heard sounds of people approaching, indicating someone was coming.
This forced her back into the house to dress first.
By the time she was dressed and came back out, Jiang Fan was long gone without a trace!
"Jiang Fan!" True Word Venerable screamed in exasperation, leaping into the sky to overlook the surroundings.
If Jiang Fanās lifeline wasnāt cut, her purity would eventually be ruined!
At that moment, Jiang Fan.
Had already flashed into a grand hall through successive spatial teleportations.
He quickly dressed, muttering to himself:
"Weāve already slept together, whatās wrong with a hug? Why such a big reaction!"
In Hunyuan Stateās various sects.
Many strong figures listened to Jiang Fanās words, and a dead silence followed.
"That female Venerable, being confined in Wenhai Academy, must be quite an important Venerable, right?"
"I recall that Xingyuan Venerable had a daughter who ran away from home many years ago."
"Could it be her?"
"Did Wang Chongxiao, no, Jiang Fan sleep with her?"
"Oh! Whatās so surprising about that?"
Everyone fell silent.
Indeed.
Having witnessed Jiang Fanās various astounding feats in the Heavenly Realm and the Connecting Sky Black Pillar.
Such an earth-shattering event as sleeping with Xingyuan Venerableās daughter happening to Jiang Fan wasnāt shocking at all.
On the contrary, it seemed like a matter of course, nothing out of the ordinary.
Should he ever sleep with the daughter of a Great Venerate of the Heavenly Human Five Declines, they wouldnāt find it too unusual.
"Eh! It seems he forgot thereās still a Heavenly Eye Crystal on his forehead."
"He probably forgot because of too many recent dangers, right?"
"Letās not remind him, see what else he might do when he returns."
Inside the grand hall.
Jiang Fan smacked his lips and said, "First thereās True Word Venerable, then Venerable Lianjing."
"Above is Qian Jiao Venerable, the mother of the brat."
"Hunyuan State is truly a place of great danger!"
"I need to quickly settle accounts with Qian Jiao Venerable, grab the Wish Paper, and run."
Just then.
Chaotic sounds came from outside the hall.
"Young Master, donāt run around, itās chaotic outside right now."
"Whatās wrong with me wandering around my own house? Who are you to manage me? Iāll beat you to death!"
Snap! Snap! Snap!
Amidst a few cracking whip sounds, a young maid was whipped until she cried out miserably.
Hearing this, Jiang Fan was enraged.
Again, it was that annoying brat!
He just couldnāt understand; why was Xingyuan Venerableās child so unruly when he himself was such a principled sage in Confucianism?
Immediately, Jiang Fan opened the hall door, seeing a fifteen or sixteen-year-old maid huddled in a corner, covering her head as the brat lashed at her with a branch.
Jiang Fanās eyes blazed with rage, desperate to give him a slap.
Suppressing his anger, Jiang Fan glanced around seeing no one, then lowered his voice to call: "Hey."
The brat turned his head and upon seeing Jiang Fan, his eyes lit up as he ran over: "Itās uncle!"
"When did you return? Quickly give me that little hammer, my mom isnāt around now."
Jiang Fan patted his head and took out the Array Breaking Hammer, saying:
"Uncle doesnāt even know your name yet."
The brat drooled over the Array Breaking Hammer, saying: "Iām Xiong Xiong."
Alright, people truly live up to their names!
"Xiong Xiong, Uncle is giving you this hammer, but you have to take me to meet your mother, alright?"
Giving the hammer to this brat, he was sure to make a big mess.
Jiang Fan needed to get the Wish Paper and escape before that happened.
Xiong Xiong nodded: "Sure, sure, Iāll take you to my mom right now."
Jiang Fan smiled as he stuffed the Array Breaking Hammer into the childās hands.
Xiong Xiong happily jumped up: "Woohoo! Finally, a new toy!"
"There are so many places I want to smash!"
He wielded the hammer wildly, his face full of excitement.
Jiang Fan said, "Yes, after you take me to your mom, you can smash wherever you like."
Xiong Xiong eagerly began to run: "Uncle, follow me!"
Meanwhile.
Xingyuan Venerable climbed out of a pile of ruins.
Wearing his treasure clothing, he managed not to end up bare like Jiang Fan, preserving his dignity in front of everyone.
"Headmaster, are you alright?"
A group of strong individuals from Wenhai Academy gathered around.
Xingyuan Venerable straightened his clothes, lightly coughed: "Iām fine."
"How has the outside world evaluated my journey to the Heavenly Realm this time?"
Hearing this.
A few Venerables who came over showed awkward expressions.
For a moment, they didnāt know how to respond.
