Chapter 595 - 695: This Is Fate
After all, saying this might trigger a massive battle.
However, Ye Tianfan wasn't afraid, because he realized that the Tree Granny's strength wasn't particularly formidable, at most, probably at the fourth level of Wanxuan. Even if this was her territory, even if she were to explode with power, she still couldn't defeat him.
So Ye Tianfan said, "Turtle Shell Maiden, or rather Little Turtle, was killed by me!"
"What?" The Tree Granny was still reminiscing about the joyful times with Turtle Shell Maiden just moments ago, when Ye Tianfan suddenly blurted out, I've already killed Little Turtle.
This caught the Tree Granny a bit off guard.
"What... what do you mean?" the Tree Granny asked, her expression having shifted from a smile to somberness.
The Tree Granny had considered directly killing Ye Tianfan here, but she sensed the aura left by Little Turtle on Ye Tianfan, suggesting that Ye Tianfan was a good person, not one to kill randomly.
There must be a reason, and Tree Granny also knew that Little Turtle had been contemplating for a long time but couldn't die, so when Little Turtle died this time, without a doubt, she was happy because her wish had been fulfilled.
After Ye Tianfan uttered those words, he began observing the Tree Granny's expression.
When the Tree Granny's expression turned somber, generating some killing intent, Ye Tianfan was already on the verge of summoning the Xuanyuan Tower. Then Ye Tianfan saw the killing intent condensed by the Tree Granny quickly dissipate, followed by sadness, and then relief.
Ye Tianfan instantly breathed a sigh of relief; it seemed the Tree Granny had come to terms, so there was no need for a battle.
After all, if he accidentally killed the Tree Granny while fighting her, it would truly be outright comical.
So since there's no need for a fight, everything is good.
The quick recovery of the Tree Granny also had an important factor: Ye Tianfan's formidable strength.
Not to mention anything else, just the fact that the Tree Granny didn't sense Ye Tianfan's aura demonstrates his strength, and Tree Granny knew how tough Little Turtle's shell was, and Ye Tianfan managed to kill Little Turtle despite her tough shell, indicating that Ye Tianfan was indeed very powerful.
"Can you tell me why she died? If she asked you to kill her, I think you wouldn't just kill her directly; there must be a reason. Can you tell me this reason?" Tree Granny sighed and asked.
"Of course!" Ye Tianfan nodded and said, "Because she killed innocent civilians, although it wasn't her intention, it was indeed she who did it, so for those ordinary innocent civilians, I could only choose to eliminate evil for the people!"
"Ah!" Tree Granny sighed deeply and said, "It seems it's all fate. Ever since Little Turtle escaped from there, she has constantly sought death opportunities, but because her turtle shell was too hard, she never died, not even getting severely injured.
A year ago, she told me someone seemed able to kill her, and she was happy for several days because of it. But who would've thought, the person who came to eliminate evil turned out to be just a facade, not to mention breaking her shell, not even her clothes were touched.
Since then, Little Turtle had fallen into despair, but I think when she met you, she must have been very happy, and when she left, she must have been happy too?"
Ye Tianfan nodded and then said, "Indeed, when she left, she left with a smile!"
Actually, Ye Tianfan didn't see Little Turtle's expression before she died, as the overwhelming Sword Qi was shining so brightly, Ye Tianfan couldn't clearly see if Little Turtle was smiling or not.
However, based on the Tree Granny's description, it seems she might have been smiling when she died.
So Ye Tianfan told the Tree Granny that Little Turtle left smiling.
"It seems an old friend has found her way out!" the Tree Granny chuckled.
"Found her way out?" Ye Tianfan asked in confusion.
"Yes, found her way out, away from the monster world, back to ordinary people," the Tree Granny genuinely felt happy for Little Turtle.
But hearing this, Ye Tianfan fell silent. He didn't know how to respond because no matter how he responded, he felt unqualified since he's just a normal person.
So Ye Tianfan didn't respond but merely nodded.
"Did Little Turtle leave me any words to convey? I think if there wasn't any message, you wouldn't be here," Tree Granny suddenly asked.
Ye Tianfan nodded; indeed, if it wasn't for Little Turtle asking him to check on things, Ye Tianfan wouldn't have come. The simple reason is he didn't know someone was there in the first place.
Even if he came by, he would have just sped past in the air, not stopping.
"Little Turtle didn't leave any particular words, just wanted me to come check if you were doing well. She won't be coming anymore, so the boring days you're sharing with her will now be for you alone," Ye Tianfan said. "That's all!"
Actually, Little Turtle only asked Ye Tianfan to check in, didn't say much as Ye Tianfan added some spice to the message.
To say things properly, there's no need to embellish, considering Ye Tianfan wasn't well-acquainted with her.
But seeing Tree Granny looking pitiable, Ye Tianfan decided to embellish the message.
It worked well; obviously, Tree Granny was delighted, smiling happily after hearing those words.
"Is your strength really impressive?" Tree Granny suddenly asked Ye Tianfan.
"It's alright! Not too strong, but I have some means to protect myself!" Ye Tianfan humbly said.
"Don't be modest; anyone capable of killing Little Turtle must be strong.
Come and kill me too!" Tree Granny said.
"What?" Ye Tianfan looked at Tree Granny in disbelief, not expecting her to wish for death after Little Turtle sought it.
"Don't be impulsive; why do you want to die?" Ye Tianfan asked puzzled.
"Actually, I've wanted to die for years, but many people were experimented on and hardly anyone cared, so I continued living, dragging on, fearing they might chase me someday, and I haven't seen them perish, so I won't die!"
