Supreme Cultivation Master

Even Ye Fan himself didn’t know why he was protecting Luo Yazhi. Perhaps it’s just my intuition.

At that, Sword Comes One said, "Absolutely not. This is non-negotiable. Either leave her behind or you will make an enemy of the Sword Coming Team!"

Ye Fan chuckled. "No matter how I look at it, that’s a bad deal. Fine, I’ll leave her behind!"

"You bastard!" Luo Yazhi immediately cursed.

She hadn’t expected that the mighty King of Heaven would be afraid of Huaxia Sword.

At this moment, Ye Fan smiled. "I’m just kidding! I’m protecting her, and that’s final. If you really want to make an enemy of me, I won’t be afraid!"

Although he was smiling, no one dared to underestimate him. Sword Comes One and his men were furious, but they didn’t seem to dare make a move.

He snapped, "King of Heaven, this is not a place where you can do as you please!"

"I’m not doing as I please! You’re the ones forcing my hand. Now, move!" he shouted.

The men from the Sword Coming Team were enraged, but they had no choice but to step aside.

After Ye Fan had carried Luo Yazhi away, Sword Comes One said, "Report to the higher-ups. The King of Heaven is too arrogant!"

"Yes, sir!"

「...」

Back at Luo Yazhi’s villa, she said to him, "Thank you! If it weren’t for you, I would never have escaped their pursuit!"

"Don’t thank me. I can’t stand being thanked. Just consider it payment for that 100,000 yuan fee you paid," Ye Fan said.

Why is being a good person so difficult? Ye Fan was speechless.

Luo Yazhi gave him a seductive smile. "Alright then!"

Ye Fan tore open her clothes, took out a pill, and had her swallow it. "This is King Hall’s finest healing pill. You can’t even buy it on the market. For 100,000 yuan, this is a total loss!"

To think I’ve accidentally made another losing deal. He couldn’t have felt more miserable.

Because of her wound, Luo Yazhi suddenly undid all of her clothes, revealing her impressive ’weapons’. It was no exaggeration to say they were the size of watermelons.

Ye Fan swallowed hard.

Luo Yazhi spoke in a sultry voice, "I can use myself to pay off the debt!"

Damn it, am I that kind of person?

Ye Fan immediately turned around. Although the offer was great and very tempting, he still didn’t know what Luo Yazhi was truly plotting. After all, Luo Yazhi is also known as the Thorny Rose, and I don’t want to get pricked right now. So, he managed to resist the seemingly irresistible temptation.

「...」

The next day, Alice and Su Qingxue were at the office. With Alice protecting Su Qingxue, Ye Fan was feeling quite relaxed. But then he got a call from Fang Nan.

"What do you need?" Ye Fan asked.

Fang Nan’s voice was urgent. "Of course it’s an emergency! Where are you? Get your ass over here now!"

It’s an emergency, and she still dares to use that tone with me? Ye Fan felt a competitive streak surface. "Okay," he responded, "I’ll be right there!"

When he saw Fang Nan, she was clearly distraught. "What’s wrong?" he asked.

"It’s terrible!" Fang Nan exclaimed.

Ye Fan felt like his eardrums were about to burst.

He said helplessly, "What is it? Can’t we talk about this calmly?"

"My mom is coming to Jiangning!" she said.

"So? What’s there to be afraid of?" Ye Fan was baffled.

"It’s different this time!" Fang Nan insisted.

"Why?" Ye Fan asked curiously. What could be so different? It’s just a mother visiting her daughter. What’s so complicated about that?

Fang Nan pouted. "My mom found out I have a boyfriend."

"And?" Ye Fan had a bad feeling about this.

"She insists on meeting you, but she’s incredibly shrewd, so we can’t let her see through our act!"

"Alright, alright. Acting is my specialty." Ye Fan knew he had to play along with Fang Nan, no matter what.

Then, Fang Nan said, "The current story is that we’ve been living together for two months!"

A headache washed over Ye Fan. Although I do intend to win Fang Nan over, we definitely haven’t lived together! You can’t just make up something like that.

"When did this happen? How come I don’t know about it?" Ye Fan asked awkwardly.

"Ugh! Just stop asking so many questions. Just watch my face for cues later," Fang Nan said, exasperated.

"Alright!" Ye Fan agreed.

Sure enough, Fang Nan’s mother, Wu Xuefang, arrived in the afternoon.

Despite being nearly forty, she looked remarkably young and sophisticated. She must have been a great beauty in her youth.

Fang Nan went up and gave her mother a long hug.

Wu Xuefang smiled. "Little Nan, my dear sister, is this your little boyfriend?"

"Mom, can you please be serious? Stop calling me your sister, okay?" Fang Nan was on the verge of tears. It was just too embarrassing, especially now.

"What’s not serious about it? Do I look like your mother? Am I that old? When we’re out, we address each other as sisters. Got it?"

Ye Fan was surprised. He hadn’t expected Wu Xuefang to be such a character. Looking at her, you really wouldn’t think she was Fang Nan’s mother; she looked more like her sister!

Ye Fan said awkwardly, "Hello, Auntie. I’m Ye Fan!"

"What? You dare call me Auntie?" Wu Xuefang feigned offense.

"Hello, Sister!" Ye Fan quickly corrected himself. Something feels off... what is it? Ah, I see. He’d messed up the generational address.

"That’s much better. This little brother is very sensible!" Wu Xuefang praised him.

This future mother-in-law is going to be a real handful, Ye Fan thought with a growing headache.

"Mom, let’s go get something to eat!" Fang Nan intervened to save him.

"How many times do I have to tell you? Call me Sister!"

"Okay, Sister, let’s go eat!"

"That’s more like it!" Wu Xuefang said triumphantly.

Ye Fan couldn’t believe how spirited his future mother-in-law was. She was truly sharp. Even I, the great King of Heaven, might not be able to handle her.

After they ordered, Wu Xuefang asked Ye Fan, "So, you’re a bodyguard?"

"Yes, Sister!" Ye Fan replied.

She continued, "You’re pretty handsome. If you were born ten years earlier, you might have had a chance to ask me out!"

Ye Fan nearly spat out his juice.

As for Fang Nan, she was completely defeated. "Mom, if you don’t stop, I’m telling Dad about your chat history!"

"Alright, alright, I was just joking," Wu Xuefang said with a laugh.

A moment later, Wu Xuefang turned to Ye Fan again. "So, little brother, have you and my precious daughter been living together for two months?"

"Yes, Auntie!" Ye Fan replied.

The topic had turned serious, so it was no time for jokes or messing up the terms of address.

Then, Wu Xuefang asked, "So, have you two... made a breakthrough in that department?"

Just as Ye Fan was about to answer, Fang Nan jumped in. "We have!"

"Oh? But you two don’t seem that intimate to me," Wu Xuefang observed, immediately sensing something was amiss.

"That’s not true! We’re doing great!" Fang Nan quickly grabbed Ye Fan’s hand, and he played along, putting on an affectionate display.

"Don’t try to fool me," Wu Xuefang said. "Do you really think I know nothing? Let me tell you, I wasn’t born yesterday."

In an instant, both of them felt terribly awkward. There’s always a sense of loss when a lie is exposed.

Fang Nan pinched Ye Fan’s waist, hard. He could only suffer in silence, the pain indescribable.
