Parting words echoed lonely through the cold void, reaching out towards the distance.
Just like Yue Mingzhu, falling alone into the abyss of void.
However, what made Yue Mingzhuâs delicate body tremble was the sound of a sigh resounding near her ear.
"Why wait for the next life to meet again?"
"Now, Iâm here to see you."
In Yue Mingzhuâs blurry vision, the figure that had once vanished began to grow larger.
She hurriedly wiped away her tears.
In the clear vision, Jiang Fan too had ventured into the void.
The chaotic space power blew him towards the distance, yet he repeatedly used space techniques.
Due to the mutual attraction between the gold and silver leaves, with each spatial teleportation, their distance shortened a bit.
In Yue Mingzhuâs widened apricot eyes, Jiang Fan teleported in front of her and grabbed her hand.
"Finally found you."
Feeling the softness of her hand in his palm, Jiang Fanâs long-held anxious heart finally settled.
It was only then that Yue Mingzhu reacted, exclaiming, "Are you crazy?"
"Why would you run in here? This is the void, you wonât survive if you enter!"
Jiang Fan looked at her tenderly and said:
"How could I bear to see you crying alone in the void?"
"Come, cry all you want."
He stretched out his arms.
Yue Mingzhuâs tears fell like rain.
The previous sadness, grievance, resentment, and resolve could not withstand a word of warmth from Jiang Fan.
She could no longer suppress her emotions and threw herself into Jiang Fanâs embrace, pounding his chest as she said:
"Youâre the most wicked scoundrel in the world!"
"Youâve been tormenting me all along!"
Jiang Fan simply held her silently, listening quietly to her tearful complaints.
Indeed, he owed her too much.
The former Desires Sect Master who once acted freely had become a foolish woman who would even give up her life for him.
After a long cry, Yue Mingzhu finally stopped.
Yet deep inside, she still felt unsatisfied and opened her mouth to bite Jiang Fanâs arm hard and said:
"I risked my life to save you, and now youâve followed me in, isnât it a waste of my death?"
Jiang Fan turned to look, but the huge rift in the void was no longer visible.
He and Yue Mingzhu were already banished to the depths of the void.
There was no way back.
He lifted Yue Mingzhuâs chin and said, "If you die for me, how can I live alone?"
Joy and emotion welled up in Yue Mingzhuâs eyes.
So she was this important in Jiang Fanâs heart?
Wait, no!
She shook her chin, shook off Jiang Fanâs hand, and snorted with a frown:
"Stop it, I no longer believe in your sweet talk!"
"In your heart, thereâs only that Ling Shu who calls you brother, where am I?"
At this, she bit her red lip slightly and said resentfully, "You didnât even know I was missing!"
Jiang Fan smiled fondly.
No wonder Yue Mingzhu, who had disguised herself as an ugly woman, did not recognize him.
It turned out she mistakenly thought Jiang Fan was looking for Ling Shu all along and never cared about her.
Jiang Fan glanced down at the intertwined gold and silver leaves on their chests and smiled, "If I werenât looking for you, why would your master give each of us a gold and silver leaf?"
Yue Mingzhu still frowned.
She had considered this point too, but it could not prove that Jiang Fan was looking for her.
Because she had not been walking around Returning Ruins State as Yue Mingzhu.
"Stop lying to me, I no longer trust you, you big liar!"
"This only proves that you met my master."
Jiang Fan couldnât help but laugh.
After thinking for a while, he took out the Nine Dragon Demon Tripod and said, "Do you still need proof?"
Yue Mingzhu stared blankly at the Nine Dragon Demon Tripod, finally moved and said, "You... have you been to the Nascent Soul Cave Mansion?"
Jiang Fanâs eyes revealed a sense of nostalgia as he said, "That is where our fate began, naturally I had to go there to find you."
An immense joy surged in Yue Mingzhuâs heart, and her eyes sparkled brightly:
"Did you go to Taicang State to find me?"
Jiang Fan said, "You hadnât returned for a long time, of course, I had to seek you out."
"I went to your sect, also to the Nascent Soul Cave Mansion, and later followed the Nine Dragon Demon Tripod to Heavenly Heritage City."
At this moment, Yue Mingzhu was relieved.
The long-standing suspicion and self-doubt in her heart dissipated like smoke.
Jiang Fan cared about her, had looked for her, even tracing her from Taicang State to Returning Ruins State.
A long-lost brilliant smile spread across her face.
Just like during their first meeting.
She tiptoed up and pecked Jiang Fanâs cheek, teasingly saying,
"You still have a bit of conscience!"
"I forgive you!"
Jiang Fan couldnât help but laugh.
When did he lack conscience?
Just then, Yue Mingzhu suddenly asked, "How did you meet my master?"
"Also, why would he match us?"
"The old guy isnât a busybody. If not to save me, he wouldnât have revealed his Heavenly Human Five Declines power."
Jiang Fan replied helplessly, "Maybe Iâm just too excellent, lovable to all."
Pff!
Yue Mingzhu giggled and lightly punched Jiang Fan, "Though itâs true, donât be so vain."
"If you hadnât shown something astonishing, he wouldnât have worked hard to match us."
"You must have done something earth-shattering, quickly tell me."
Jiang Fan initially didnât want to elaborate, but looking at the lifeless void,
they could only rely on sharing stories to spend the rest of their lives together.
Without hiding, he recounted his journey from the Nascent Soul Cave Mansion to the Seven Cities of the Heavenly Abyss.
Upon learning that Jiang Fan was nearly trapped in the blood mist when Xue Qianzhang severed the space tunnel during his spatial transmission, Yue Mingzhu felt a wave of guilt.
Jiang Fan had nearly lost his life searching for her, while she was blaming and doubting whether he had her in his heart.
She wrapped her arms around Jiang Fanâs waist, burying her whole body into his arms.
"Iâm sorry, I shouldnât have left you self-willed."
Jiang Fan patted her head and said, "I was indifferent to you."
"Later, I reached Heavenly Heritage City..."
Upon learning of the deeds of the Half-Giants in the Seven Cities of the Heavenly Abyss, Yue Mingzhuâs eyes flashed with rage:
"These people truly are beasts."
"They discovered me the moment I teleported there, and several Half-Giants tried to violate me."
"Had it not been for the old man arriving in time, I would have long..."
Jiang Fan had guessed Yue Mingzhu might have faced such encounters.
Even hearing it now, he couldnât suppress his killing intent for those wicked beings that committed deeds of plunder!
He held Yue Mingzhu tight and said, "Itâs a pity I only killed half of the Dharma Image Realm! Otherwise, I would have avenged you."
Yue Mingzhu leaned comfortably in his arms and said, "Thatâs enough; one Dharma Image Realmâs death is enough to hit them hard."
"Killing half of the Dharma Image Realm, their hearts must be bleeding."
Saying this, she suddenly realized, "No wonder the old man appreciates you."
"Nascent Soul Realm swordsman slaying over half the Dharma Image Realm in Heavenly Heritage City; such a feat, even Central Earth has few."
"However, what the old man doesnât know is that his precious disciple had long since secured this prodigious genius!"
Yue Mingzhu grinned proudly, looking at Jiang Fan with a sense of smugness.
Jiang Fan couldnât help but laugh, finally mentioning Xu Yining.
Yue Mingzhu sighed slightly, "So, the first beauty in Returning Ruins State, the Ziwei Fairy, is her."
"She... is actually a pitiful person too."
