Chapter 1472: Chapter 1502: The Promise
Jiang Fan’s eyes were filled with infinite tenderness.
He said warmly, "Didn’t you also leap into the void for me? We’re even now."
Yue Mingzhu opened her mouth to say something, but her peripheral vision caught sight of the Black Lotus of Tribulation chasing after them!
Its lotus pod was spewing a massive amount of Yin Qi, chasing with incredible speed.
She suddenly panicked and looked up, feeling an urgent desire to go back.
A miraculous scene unfolded before her eyes, as the Nine Dragon Demon Tripod released a powerful traction force, sweeping her and Jiang Fan upward rapidly.
In a few breaths, they successfully reached the bottom of the tripod.
Yue Mingzhu crawled back in first, followed closely by Jiang Fan.
But as Jiang Fan’s body halfway crossed back, something wound around his legs, trapping them at the bottom of the tripod.
Through a gap, Yue Mingzhu gasped at what she saw.
The Black Lotus of Tribulation had caught up, its Soaring Stem wrapped around Jiang Fan’s legs.
And it was using Jiang Fan as a stepping stone to move towards Central Earth.
Jiang Fan was being dragged back bit by bit.
Yue Mingzhu was shocked, frantically pulling on Jiang Fan, but how could she withstand the power of the Black Lotus of Tribulation?
Seeing his waist and below being dragged back into the void.
Jiang Fan’s eyes hardened, reaching out toward the nearby Little Qilin.
With a clang, the Purple Thunder instantly flew into his palm.
Without hesitation, he sliced toward his lower waist.
Ah!
Even with Jiang Fan’s perseverance, he let out an agonizing scream.
Yue Mingzhu’s face turned pale, but she didn’t have time to think, decisively helping Jiang Fan escape the Nine Dragon Demon Tripod.
Then, she hurriedly used Soul Power to close the tripod lid.
Barely closed.
A heavy crash followed, vibrating the lid with a buzzing sound.
It was the Black Lotus of Tribulation trying to reopen the Nine Dragon Demon Tripod.
Once didn’t work, twice.
Twice didn’t work, thrice.
The dense crashing sounds were like thunder, continuously booming.
After a full ten breaths, the sounds gradually ceased.
Even separated by the Nine Dragon Demon Tripod, the anger of the Black Lotus of Tribulation could be felt.
Yue Mingzhu’s tense heart relaxed slightly, and only then did she have the chance to look at Jiang Fan.
She found that he was already pale from blood loss, his breath weakening rapidly, life draining away quickly.
Close to dying!
Fortunately, the Little Qilin hurriedly brought the Heavenly Thunder Stone, skillfully took out the rabbit tail.
Plucking a tuft of fur and scattering it on Jiang Fan’s wound.
The lost lower half of his body quickly regained a portion.
Seeing that a single tuft wasn’t enough, the Little Qilin threw the entire rabbit tail onto the wound.
The lost body miraculously grew back.
In no time, a pair of legs, white as jade and full of powerful strength, had grown.
The agony on Jiang Fan’s face finally eased.
Weakly reaching out, he stroked the Little Qilin’s round head, saying:
"This time I’m indebted to you again."
The Little Qilin pressed against his cheek, softly nuzzling, then spoke:
"I don’t want Master to die again."
The attempt by the Sky Demon Emperor to kill Jiang Fan once nearly led to their separation by death.
That scene was deeply etched in the Little Qilin’s memory.
Jiang Fan patted its head, saying: "It won’t happen again; Master won’t die."
Then, he glanced at Yue Mingzhu.
He saw Yue Mingzhu staring fixedly at the area between his legs, seemingly a little shocked.
Jiang Fan blushed, quickly pulling out the Bodhisattva Kasaya from the Heavenly Thunder Stone to wrap around the reshaped lower half.
Only then did Yue Mingzhu snap back to reality, her face turning crimson instantly, stammering:
"You, you, you misunderstood."
"I wasn’t looking randomly; I was amazed at how that old thing could bear to cut off a piece of the big white rabbit’s tail and give it to you."
"The big white rabbit is his treasure, and even when I wanted to pluck a tuft of rabbit fur, he glared at me."
"He actually gave you a whole rabbit tail?"
Jiang Fan was too lazy to explain that the rabbit tail was accidentally cut off by him.
He merely looked at her with a half-smile, saying: "It doesn’t matter if you looked."
"There’s no need for formality between us."
With that, he pulled Yue Mingzhu into his arms as she cried out in surprise and settled her onto his lap.
Then kissed her passionately.
Yue Mingzhu’s mind blanked completely, losing all ability to think.
Allowing Jiang Fan to handle her.
Until long after, a demonic hand ventured inside her collar, climbing up to her True White.
Yue Mingzhu suddenly awakened with a fright, jumping out of Jiang Fan’s embrace, her youthful face replaced by a flush of red.
She stammered: "You’re, you’re too audacious."
Jiang Fan teased with a laugh: "That’s not the expression a Desires Sect Master should have."
Yue Mingzhu’s face turned even redder.
Having witnessed the sordid matters between men and women practicing Dual Cultivation within the sect, she was usually unperturbed by such things.
Yet when it happened to her, she was no different from an inexperienced girl.
This made her both embarrassed and angry, stomping her foot: "Hmph!"
"Don’t think I’ll hand myself over to you like Gong Caiyi, recklessly and without thinking."
"You men are all the same. Before getting what you want, you seem incredible, and afterwards you don’t cherish anything."
"I won’t be like Gong Caiyi, getting tossed aside by you once you’ve succeeded."
Jiang Fan was amused.
He hadn’t abandoned Gong Caiyi at all.
But he chose not to explain further.
It’s good that Yue Mingzhu had her own thinking, as he was a dying man, occupying her body without offering a future; why harm her?
After changing his pants, Jiang Fan stood tall, wrapping his arm around her shoulder as they gazed toward Central Earth’s mountains and rivers.
Looking at the endless primitive forest, taking in the familiar Central Earth air.
Jiang Fan exhaled deeply, saying: "Since we’ve managed to survive, let’s fight one last battle for Central Earth."
"Will you come with me to Taicang State?"
Yue Mingzhu lowered her eyes, apologetically saying: "By asking, you must have guessed the answer."
"Forgetful Wild Elder has been kind to me; he intends to do something big after the Ancient Giants arrive."
"He needs someone to assist him."
"And he only has me as a disciple."
Jiang Fan hugged her tightly, saying: "It’s okay."
"We’re both fighting for Central Earth; I support you."
Yue Mingzhu was speechless, her heart filled with deep guilt.
Jiang Fan had endured great peril to find her, and in the end, she couldn’t follow him back to Central Earth.
She didn’t even want to give her body to him.
Lightly biting her red lip, she stood on tiptoe, whispering into Jiang Fan’s ear:
"Let’s go back to Returning Ruins State, and you marry me."
"I’ll do anything for you."
Jiang Fan’s heart fluttered at her beautiful visage.
But did he still have time?
According to Tian Ge’s prophecy, there were only ten days left before the Ancient Giant battle.
Setting aside the five days needed to rush back to the Qintian Bureau, less than five days were left for him.
And he had many things yet undone.
For instance, he had not yet broken through to the Nine Aperture Nascent Soul, nor achieved Divinity Transformation.
Just achieving one might not be feasible within five days.
Noticing Jiang Fan’s dilemma, Yue Mingzhu’s eyes darkened, she then suggested:
"Then after the Ancient Giant battle?"
Jiang Fan nodded.
Yue Mingzhu’s face brightened with joy, quickly extending her little finger: "Let’s pinky promise!"
Jiang Fan chuckled, isn’t this a child’s game?
But he still promised: "After the Ancient Giant battle, if I’m not dead, and Yue Mingzhu is still alive, I will grandly marry her."
This was the second woman Jiang Fan openly vowed to marry.
Yue Mingzhu’s eyes sparkled with joyful tears, as she wrapped her little finger around Jiang Fan’s, saying:
"Pinky promise! Three hundred years! No changes!"
Their little fingers hooked together in the twilight, like an unbreakable chain of fate.
Shining beneath the evening glow.
