"I..."
Lin Fan was speechless, unable to explain even if he had a hundred mouths.
He was wronged!
He really hadn't been flirting around; the flowers and plants had co to him, and he hadn't done anything.
But would the Divine Phoenix believe him if he said that?
Seeing the increasingly sinister look in the other's eyes, Lin Fan's heart trembled.
"Say nothing, I know."
A trace of disappointnt flickered in the Divine Phoenix's eyes, and her tone instantly beca lighter, speaking softly.
"It's not what you think."
"How do you know what I think?"
"Isn't it obvious..."
"I've been cultivating at the Mystic Iron Mountain for so long, and you never even thought of ."
"..."
Lin Fan was silent once more.
This he couldn't deny; he truly had forgotten.
He felt incredibly guilty, but the Divine Phoenix seed already angry.
"I-I'm sorry..."
The Divine Phoenix didn't acknowledge Lin Fan's apology; she only felt a stabbing pain in her heart, as if soone were driving a dagger into her heart.
After waiting for Lin Fan for so long, yet there was another unfamiliar woman beside him.
"Who is she?"
The Divine Phoenix coldly asked.
"Yi Qingyu, the sister of Yi Shengtang, the Clan Leader of the Shennong Clan."
"Why'd you bring her here? To spite deliberately?"
"Divine Phoenix, that's not right; why would I deliberately spite you? She accidentally ingested a poisonous herb while trying so herbs and went into a coma. I brought her in to heal her wounds." Lin Fan wasn't sure if the Divine Phoenix would listen, but he indeed brought Yi Qingyu in for healing, with no other intentions.
"Healing? Just for healing?"
The Divine Phoenix raised an eyebrow, her aura abruptly becoming incomparably strong, glaring icily at Lin Fan.
"Just now, I saw you staring at her in a trance."
Lin Fan felt like his head was about to explode.
How could he explain this?
He wished he could gouge out his eyes for staring at a beautiful woman!
Lin Fan was anxious and just about to explain when he suddenly froze.
Because.
The Divine Phoenix was crying!
He saw her eyes reddening, tears welling up and falling like rain.
Her delicate body slightly trembled, biting her lower lip, looking very aggrieved, which made one's heart ache.
"Divine Phoenix..."
Lin Fan couldn't help but call softly.
The Divine Phoenix didn't respond, her hands clenched into fists, forming a whirlwind around her.
"I've been cultivating in the Mystic Iron Mountain day and night just to shorten the gap between us."
"I don't want to stay on the Heavenly Demon Continent; I want to synchronize my cultivation with yours so we can be on the sa level."
"But you... actually forgot ... my heart aches so much..."
"I just want to stay by your side, what's wrong with that?"
She sobbed, her chin trembling violently, her face alternating between red and pale.
Lin Fan took a deep breath.
No more ti could be delayed, although they were in Mystic Iron Mountain, the broken tendons and shattered bones of Yi Qingyu needed imdiate attention.
He couldn't keep tangling with the Divine Phoenix.
He didn't know why the Divine Phoenix suddenly beca like this.
"Divine Phoenix, I'm sorry, I really let you down recently."
"Don't tell you're sorry!"
Suddenly, the Divine Phoenix exploded in rage, her eyes burning with fierce anger.
Lin Fan's eyes twitched, and he keenly observed a hint of peculiarity in the Divine Phoenix's eyes.
His heart suddenly jolted.
It seed the Divine Phoenix was cultivating too hastily, showing signs of inner demons; continuing like this, she might lose herself.
Ultimately, she might not even recognize herself.
The Divine Phoenix wanted too much to get closer to him but used the wrong thod.
Cultivating realms can't be rushed.
Even in the Mystic Iron Mountain, one cannot be hasty and greedy for quick success.
"Divine Phoenix, calm down a bit first; I really don't have ti now."
"I don't care!"
The Divine Phoenix's abnormal fury, and demonic rage, rendered her unable to control her jealousy and anger.
Boom!
She moved swiftly, throwing a punch at Lin Fan!
That punch nearly weighed billions of pounds, much more advanced than the first ti she fought with Lin Fan.
The cultivation in the Mystic Iron Mountain indeed brought her great progress.
Violent!
Brutal!
Terror!
Grim!
The Divine Phoenix turned into a black mist in an instant, ethereally surging towards Lin Fan.
Lin Fan furrowed his brow slightly; a jealous woman is truly terrifying...
He did not move.
Despite the significant progress in the Divine Phoenix's cultivation, in front of Lin Fan, there was still an insurmountable, terrifying gap.
A chasm, unable to be crossed!
A breath!
The Divine Phoenix was already in front of Lin Fan.
In an instant.
The entire Mystic Iron Mountain echoed with ghostly wails and howls.
Empty, yet awe-inspiring.
The sound seed to want to tear the chaos apart, as if it wanted to swallow Lin Fan whole.
A long black mist trailed behind her, all condensed from demonic Qi, and that demonic Qi was mighty, pushing the Divine Phoenix forward like thousands of troops and horses.
"Lin Fan!"
The fist approached.
The Divine Phoenix shouted, a tear sliding down her cheek.
"It's you who let down!"
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
The sound of space breaking, the chaos as if about to explode, the void condensing, shrinking into a mass, then exploding at once.
The Divine Phoenix's expression was exceptionally conflicted, complex.
Grim yet sorrowful.
Violent yet pained.
Savage yet helpless.
In that mont.
It seed as if she felt so heartache, wanting to retract her fist, but the fist already swung was like spilled water, impossible to retrieve, terrifying power pushing her forward.
Bam!
A loud sound.
The earth shook and the mountains swayed.
Then, it returned to calm.
As if nothing had happened, chaos remained chaos, Mystic Iron Mountain remained Mystic Iron Mountain.
A breath.
Two breaths.
Three breaths.
...
Ten breaths!
Only after a full ten breaths did the Divine Phoenix co back to her senses, suddenly freezing!
Lin Fan casually stretched out a hand, and firmly grasped the fist she swung, without force, without using spiritual power, like holding a pearl, fearing it might lt, fearing it might break.
The Divine Phoenix's heart suddenly trembled, looking incredulously at Lin Fan.
"You... you..."
"Divine Phoenix, all of this is my fault. Let heal her first, then can I explain to you?"
Lin Fan was calm and composed.
The terrifying montum the Divine Phoenix unleashed just now had no effect on him.
Not only did he not move, he didn't even blink, not a bead of sweat on his forehead.
Lin Fan's eyes were exceptionally calm.
Clear and cold as the moon.
The Divine Phoenix stood there, dumbfounded, staring blankly into Lin Fan's eyes, recalling the first ti she saw Lin Fan.
It seed they also fought like this.
All the beautiful mories flooded into her heart, touching the Divine Phoenix's soul.
"Your realm..."
"That's right, Ninth Rank Saint Emperor."
"But you still have the Dragon Bone inside you; the Ninth Rank Saint Emperor isn't your true strength; on the Suru Continent, you're still an extraordinary existence."
Sigh—
The Divine Phoenix let out a long sigh, retracting her fist.
Lin Fan didn't use force, because he didn't want to hurt the Divine Phoenix.
After all, she's his woman.
Won are ant to be cherished!
"I'll wait for you."
The Divine Phoenix left these two words lightly, her figure vanishing into the chaos.
