"You little rascal, I've told you to keep a low profile, but you just wouldn't listen. It's fine to cause a stir outside, but you co here and make a commotion too..."
Inside the Ice Palace, Chu Le'er dressed in simple clothes, her entire being exuding a cold and elegant aura, almost unchanged from the first ti they t.
However, upon seeing Xu Fan, Chu Le'er imdiately started her endless chatter, "I heard from Xiao Li that you have allied with the Dark Council? Those bats are very cunning, not to be trusted lightly, and behind them stands the Demon Lord, quite troubleso. Did the trials have any complications? Was there any conflict with the Immortals from the Upper Realm?"
A barrage of questions made Xu Fan feel incredibly overwheld and also sowhat amused.
All these days, Xu Fan had been alone, completely acting according to his own thoughts, killing Immortals, subduing various superpowers, bloodwashing the Cultivation World, beating Luo Bing... in a series of events, Xu Fan didn't even ask the Heavenly Witch Sect for help, nor did he inform them.
On one hand, things ca one after another, not giving Xu Fan any chance to rest at all. On the other hand, none of these matters were too important to entrust to the Heavenly Witch Sect, so Xu Fan really felt uneasy.
But Xu Fan didn't expect that, having experienced so many things, the entire Upper Realm was terrified by himself; for three years, they dared not descend to the Lower Realm. Yet Chu Le'er, the Sect Leader, still had her information stuck on the minor incidents from days ago.
Indeed, after experiencing a major battle with Luo Bing and using Yunzhi Luo Bing as a pawn in the Upper Realm, Xu Fan's vision had elevated to a much higher level. The grand Dark Council was no longer in Xu Fan's eyes.
At this mont, facing Chu Le'er's questions, Xu Fan didn't bother to explain and simply nodded lightly.
Now that the crisis from the Upper Realm is temporarily resolved, Xu Fan has ample ti to recount the events of the past days. The urgent task is to observe and find a way to deal with the situation with Li Long.
Seeming to have noticed Xu Fan's perfunctory attitude, Chu Le'er sighed faintly, stopped talking, and silently gazed at Xu Fan with affectionate eyes.
Xu Fan was completely stunned.
What is with this woman? Why does sothing feel a bit off?
Although Xu Fan has a cooperative relationship with the Heavenly Witch Sect, his relationship with Chu Le'er is clear-cut; at most, they're just friends. Being gazed at affectionately by Chu Le'er, Xu Fan did not feel pride but rather a tingling on his scalp.
"Sect Leader, what's with this..." As Xu Fan was stared at by Chu Le'er, he felt imnse pressure, more terrifying than facing the Immortal Emperor, and even his speech beca a bit awkward.
Xu Fan is well aware of how fearso and vigorous this woman can be, relying on the Heavenly Profound Bead, a mighty artifact that dares to fight against three Immortal Venerables, a superpower absolutely beyond Xu Fan's current capability to contend.
Unable to fight, unable to reason, and extrely unreliable, is there anything more terrifying in the world?
Poof!
Seeing Xu Fan, who feared neither heaven nor earth, show this appearance, Chu Le'er laughed riotously, her fair jade-like fingers lightly tapping Xu Fan's forehead. "Little rascal, what are you thinking? Afraid I'll eat you?"
Xu Fan was speechless.
To be honest, Xu Fan was indeed afraid this Enchantress would devour him. In terms of appearance, Chu Le'er was not inferior, even srizing, far stronger than the cold, aloof Luo Bing. Yet recalling the scene on the Taoist Immortal Mountain, where Chu Le'er wielded an artifact and fought with three Immortal Venerables, Xu Fan felt uneasy.
This woman is simply too vigorous. Even though Chu Le'er is full of charm and may gaze at him with affectionate eyes, Xu Fan hasn't had a hint of other thoughts arise.
Suddenly, Chu Le'er stopped her playful teasing, gently and kindly tidying Xu Fan's sleeve and collar, and softly said, "Little rascal, it's been hard on you these days."
To be honest, at this mont, Xu Fan felt a bit touched.
Days seem triumphant and full of confidence, but each matter carried enormous dangers; one misstep could lead to complete obliteration.
Now, finally, temporarily out of danger, theoretically, Xu Fan should feel entirely relieved hearing Chu Le'er's words.
Yet, Xu Fan was again tense.
The reason Xu Fan feels as if facing a formidable foe when dealing with Chu Le'er is mainly due to her unpredictable nature. No one knows if the next mont she'll be affectionate and tender or suddenly flip and chase soone with a knife.
Her jade-like fingers glided across Xu Fan's chest, tickling him. At this mont, Chu Le'er no longer seed like a high-and-mighty Sect Leader nor a capricious Enchantress, but rather a gentle little wife.
The atmosphere was sowhat delicate.
Just then, hurried footsteps sounded, and a ruddy-faced burly man ca rushing in—it was Jin Li.
"Sect Leader..."
Jin Li dashed in energetically, but upon raising his head, he saw the scene before him, causing his mighty body to tremble, his eyes to bulge, and his fists to clench tightly.
Ahem.
Seeing Jin Li, the two erged from the delicate atmosphere, and Xu Fan's face turned slightly red, awkwardly clearing his throat.
Chu Le'er, however, remained nonchalant, casually waving at Jin Li, "What's the matter? If there's sothing, speak about it later. If not, you should leave first."
Jin Li, seemingly not hearing Chu Le'er's words, stumbled out, heartbroken.
Poor Jin Li, the look he had simply spelled out gut-wrenching sorrow!
Chu Le'er neither glanced at Jin Li; instead, she cheerfully pulled Xu Fan toward the Ice Palace, "Little rascal, not scared stiff, are you? I was just teasing you earlier!"
Xu Fan forced a smile, "Still... kind of used to it."
"You!" Chu Le'er sighed lightly, "Honestly, it's kind of unfair to you; the grudges from a thousand years ago shouldn't be burdened by a youngster like you, especially..."
"If you truly can't bear it, just stop and rest a while. Don't mind the Immortal Venerable or Immortal Emperor scenarios. Just find a place and hide; with the Heavenly Profound Bead, no one will find you. When you reach the Immortal Emperor Level and co back out to devastate the land, countless young won will be infatuated with you."
At first, upon hearing the first part of her words, Xu Fan was indeed a bit moved. Although unreliable, the woman was considerate enough, even offering the Heavenly Profound Bead, an artifact, despite Xu Fan's refusal to hide away and disregard Chu Le'er's fate. At the very least, it sounded extrely heartwarming.
However, after hearing the latter part, Xu Fan was already filled with disbelief.
Working hard to reach Immortal Emperor Level and going out to devastate the land just to gain the admiration of young won?
I could walk out and appear on TV right now, and countless young won on Earth would be infatuated, right?
Amidst laughter and chatter, they've already reached within the Ice Palace.
Revisiting the Ice Palace, even with a cultivation level vastly improved, looking at the scene before him, Xu Fan still felt a sense of awe.
