CHAPTER 1001: CHAPTER 997: AN EMBARRASSING SITUATION

"Aunt Rong, your body feels feverish because it hasn’t adapted to the changes of cultivation yet. Once you truly adapt, it will be much better. This matter, no one can help you." Ye Fan said.

Tantai Wanrong urgently said, "Are you trying to burn me to death, auntie? If you don’t help me, I’ll have to take off my clothes."

Wu Ding laughed heartily and said, "Exactly, to become Ye Fan’s furnace, you must take off your clothes, and something has to happen... You know what I mean."

Upon hearing the ambiguous words, Tantai Wanrong realized she was being teased by Wu Ding. Previously, she bore hostility towards Wu Ding, but now she knew Wu Ding’s cultivation was at a level capable of destroying heavens and earth. For Ye Fan’s sake, she couldn’t afford to offend this woman lightly.

"Little Fan, help me..." Tantai Wanrong’s face was completely red and she was sweating profusely. Ye Fan went up to touch her and found her external body temperature was at least sixty or seventy degrees. Thankfully, she had a foundation stage physique; otherwise, such temperature alone could have burnt her.

Ye Fan said, "Let’s find a pond and let Aunt Rong soak for a bit."

Ye Fan supported Tantai Wanrong and rode his flying sword forward for a short distance, soon spotting a small waterfall. Tantai Wanrong jumped in without a word, causing the water to show signs of boiling, given that her external body temperature was sixty or seventy degrees, and inside was even hotter.

"So hot." Under the waterfall, Tantai Wanrong was tearing off her clothes.

Ye Fan turned away not to look, and at this moment Li Zhaojun also came over. Li Zhaojun said, "Should I use pure Yin Spiritual Energy to help big sister?"

"Yes." Ye Fan nodded, watching Li Zhaojun jumping into the torrent. With a slight glance, he noticed that most of Tantai Wanrong’s clothes were off, and even from a distant back view, Ye Fan found himself momentarily distracted, quickly turning back to focus his mind.

Wu Ding and Min Shang walked over, and Wu Ding said with a laugh, "Junior disciple, you are quite the gentleman. It seems... your aunt has felt something for you long ago, I’m just curious why there’s been no progress despite mutual affection?"

Ye Fan squinted and asked, "How does senior sister know Aunt Rong and I haven’t taken the last step?"

"Is that even a question? If you had something with her earlier, why would you refuse to let her be your furnace? Besides... she’s still a maiden. Don’t you think I can still judge such things?" Wu Ding smiled seductively.

Her gaze even had a hint of bewitchment, as if saying, not only is your Aunt Rong one, but I am too.

"Between Aunt Rong and me, there remains some distance, previously we had chances to be together... but she was quite dominant on Earth, I felt unworthy of her..." Ye Fan reflected.

"A strong-willed woman, no matter how strong, how can she compare with senior sister here? I see that she just had some power, but in front of your cultivation, her power means nothing. To conquer her, you need a bit of courage." Wu Ding said in an encouraging tone.

Ye Fan asked, "Why does senior sister suddenly care about my relationship with Aunt Rong?"

Wu Ding smiled without a reply, though she indeed had her own reasons.

Previously, Ye Fan wouldn’t accept her due to Li Zhaojun, and since Ye Fan was from Earth, he adhered to a monogamous system. However, Wu Ding was from the Pan Gu Secret Realm, which was ancient society where having multiple wives was common, as long as a man had enough capability, he could marry as many women as he wanted, all legally wed. Wu Ding never hid her admiration for Ye Fan.

Min Shang looked into the distance and said, "Looks like they’ve finished, but... the clothes seem torn."

The group came over, none of them had brought spare clothes.

Ye Fan took off his clothes and handed them to Min Shang, saying, "Shang, go bring these to Zhaojun and Aunt Rong."

"Okay." Min Shang took the clothes over. Li Zhaojun hadn’t undressed earlier, and once she was up, she dried her clothes almost instantly with Spiritual Energy, while Tantai Wanrong had to wear Ye Fan’s clothes. At this moment, Ye Fan was only wearing a simple white inner garment.

"Little Fan, it’s all my fault. You’re not cold, right?" Tantai Wanrong walked over, feeling somewhat guilty.

Ye Fan smiled and glanced at her, as the clothes didn’t fit well, gaps in the robe revealed Tantai Wanrong’s fair skin. He laughed, "Aunt Rong forgot about my cultivation, even if it’s dozens of degrees below zero, so what? Let’s find a place where humans live and buy some clothes."

Wu Ding asked, "Not going back to your senior brother?"

Ye Fan shook his head; regarding Luo Jianxiong, he had many suspicions. People with Luo Jianxiong were behaving strangely, like they were up to no good. Ye Fan even suspected Zhou Xianyang’s death and Zhuo Junwu’s disappearance were related to Luo Jianxiong.

"Once we find the Light Refining Pill formula, I should take Zhaojun and return to Earth." Ye Fan said.

Wu Ding sighed and shook her head, "You should have Min Shang return to Xinghe Sect once more, and later you go with her, as if it were a wedding ceremony, you must make arrangements with Xinghe Sect."

Ye Fan didn’t answer, but Min Shang firmly said, "No need."

To someone born without emotions, sentiments of sect membership were meaningless. Min Shang used to only care for herself, but now she was wholeheartedly devoted to Ye Fan.

The group continued riding their flying swords, as Tantai Wanrong was only at Foundation Establishment, she had to ride with Ye Fan. With a certain level of cultivation, looking at the world was already different from before.

"Aunt Rong, pay attention to the techniques of regulating your breath, don’t rush, and as for attacking, always keep defense, this is to attack with defense." Ye Fan elaborated the breath regulation techniques thoroughly. If Tantai Wanrong had Spiritual Energy inside but didn’t know how to use it, she would have things but wouldn’t know their uses. Ye Fan also taught her offensive and defensive skills. In the Pan Gu Secret Realm, Foundation Establishment might not be considered high cultivation, but on Earth, Tantai Wanrong could already protect herself.

Passing through a human town, the group came down to buy new clothes, as everyone, including Wu Ding, was still wearing clothes from Earth.

"Wearing ancient clothing is more comfortable, after all." Wu Ding changed first, came out smiling and said.

Li Zhaojun and Min Shang also came out in succession, and at this moment, Tantai Wanrong’s voice emerged from the changing room: "Little Fan, come in, I can’t undo this outfit. Come help me."

The words made Ye Fan feel amused yet helpless.

Ye Fan said, "Let Zhaojun go in and help you."

"What are you saying, Little Fan, the clothes are yours, of course you should help me. Are you saying you won’t lend even this small help?" Tantai Wanrong’s slightly resentful voice came.

Ye Fan felt awkward since Tantai Wanrong wore only his oversized robe, once opened, wouldn’t that be...

He couldn’t help but blush thinking further.

"Go on," Li Zhaojun said, "Big sister just started cultivation and has many areas to adapt, you should help her."

Ye Fan looked at Li Zhaojun, feeling a bit moved, nodded, and walked into the changing room, only to be suddenly embraced by Tantai Wanrong as soon as he stepped in.
