Chapter 2267 Demonic Sea

Li Qingzhu pondered for a moment and said, “He’s too outstanding. If I stay by his side, what if I fall for him?”

Chu Lingxi turned her head and looked over, asking curiously, “Is there anything wrong with liking him?”

“Of course, there is. That guy is too much of a playboy,” Li Qingzhu said. “Although he’s excellent, he has too many women around him, and there will only be more in the future.”

Chu Lingxi smiled and said, “So, do you like him being a playboy or not? If he wasn’t a playboy at all, he definitely wouldn’t accept you.”

“Anyway, I don’t like fighting with others for a man, so I’ll stay here and manage the academy with Grandpa.”

Li Qingzhu asked, “Why are you staying? Why aren’t you with him? Do you also think he’s too much of a playboy?”

Chu Lingxi shook her head: “That’s not it. My thoughts are different from yours. No matter how many women he has, as long as he likes me, that’s enough.”

Li Qingzhu asked in surprise, “If that’s the case, then why are you staying?”

“Because the person he likes isn’t me at all, but that girl named Situ Dianmo.”

Chu Lingxi said, “I’m really curious, are there really two people in this world who look exactly alike?”

Li Qingzhu nodded: “Probably.”

Great Xing Imperial City. After a short period, Ye Bufan once again stood before the city gates.

Unlike his panicked escape last time, this time he returned with sufficient confidence. With his current strength, he had no fear even facing the strongest Empire in Tianluo State.

The reason he returned here from Tianfeng Empire was that there were still some matters he needed to resolve.

In Jubao Pavilion, Luo Yudie sat by the window, gazing blankly at the blue sky and white clouds outside.

Just then, the voice she had longed for day and night suddenly came to her ears, “Beauty, which handsome guy are you thinking about?”

Luo Yudie trembled all over, as if struck by lightning. She turned around to find Ye Bufan standing behind her with a smile.

“You… when did you come back?”

Ye Bufan smiled slightly: “Just now. The first thing I did when I came back was to see you, Big Sister.”

Luo Yudie suddenly remembered something, and her expression changed: “How dare you come back here? The Daxing Empire has already issued a kill order for you.

You must leave here quickly, the sooner the better!”

“Issued a kill order? That old guy Tuoba Hongyi is really ruthless.”

Ye Bufan’s face still held a faint smile, and he showed no intention of leaving. Instead, he sat down on a nearby chair.

“Little brother, I’m not joking with you, hurry up and go!”

Luo Yudie was extremely anxious. Once the Daxing Empire discovered Ye Bufan was here, she wouldn't be able to protect him with her strength.

“Big Sister, don’t worry, it’s just the Daxing Empire Imperial Family. They’re nothing in my eyes now.”

Ye Bufan pulled her to sit beside him, “I came here this time because I have something to tell you.”

“This…”

Luo Yudie didn't believe what he said at all. How could one person contend against an Empire, especially the strongest one in Tianluo State?

She cautiously glanced around, confirming no one had noticed, then said, “Say what you need to say quickly, then leave here. This is really not a joke.”

Ye Bufan said, “I’m about to go to Tianqiong State, so I came to say goodbye to Big Sister.”

Luo Yudie asked, “Tianqiong State? What are you going there for? Is it to avoid the Daxing Empire Imperial Family?”

“No, I already said, the Daxing Empire is nothing!”

Ye Bufan thought for a moment and asked, “Big Sister, if one day I leave here, would you be willing to come with me?”

He knew this woman had always liked him, but some things still needed to be made clear.

“Are you going to Tianqiong State? Yes, I can tell Grandpa, and then I can go with you. Jubao Pavilion also has businesses there.”

“I’m not talking about Tianqiong State, but another world.”

Since he had made his decision, Ye Bufan no longer held back and said directly, “Actually, I’m not from Kunlun Continent, but from another world, the legendary Secular World.

My loved ones and Family are there, and I must go back. Once I go back, I might never be able to return here.”

“What? The Secular World?”

Luo Yudie was filled with shock. Only then did she realize why Ye Bufan could produce so many strange things—it turned out they didn’t belong to this world at all.

But this news was too much of a shock for her, and her emotions remained turbulent for a long time.

She did like this man, and had even fantasized countless times about the two of them truly being together.

But to suddenly leave this world, leave her Family and relatives, this was something she was not mentally prepared for at all.

After a long silence, she said in a low voice, “I’m sorry, I still don’t want to leave my Family.”

“It’s okay, I understand, just as I can’t abandon everything from before and stay here.”

Ye Bufan was not surprised by this answer. Luo Yudie was different from Lu Xueman and the others; she was a powerful business woman in this realm.

It was indeed very difficult to ask her to give up Jubao Pavilion, give up her career, and follow him to an unfamiliar world.

He added, “I’ve only told you about this, so please keep it a secret for me.”

“I will.”

Luo Yudie hesitated and said, “Can’t you stay here for me?”

Ye Bufan shook his head: “I can take you with me, but staying here is definitely not an option. I have too many ties over there.”

“Oh!”

A strong look of disappointment flashed in Luo Yudie’s eyes, and then she said nothing more.

The atmosphere in the room became heavy for a moment. Ye Bufan changed the subject and said, “I’m going to Tianqiong State this time to find a way back. I’m not familiar with the roads here. If I fly, how long will it take to get there?”

Luo Yudie took a deep breath, adjusting her emotions. She now understood that Ye Bufan was not familiar with the situation here.

“To go to Tianqiong State, flying there is impossible.”

Ye Bufan looked astonished: “Why?”

In his mind, going to Tianqiong State was just a long journey. At Nine Heavens’ speed, it should take a few dozen days at most to arrive.

Luo Yudie took a piece of paper and quickly drew a rough sketch on it with a pen.

“Take a look, this is the general situation of Kunlun Continent.”

Ye Bufan looked down. Although the sketch was simple, its meaning was clear, and he immediately understood the distribution of Kunlun Continent.

Tianwu State was in the east, Tianluo State in the west, Tianmang Prefecture in the south, Tianqiong State in the north, and Tiansheng State in the middle.

The most crucial point was that these major states occupied a very small proportion, and the rest of the areas were blank.

Ye Bufan pointed to the blank areas and asked, “What is this? Is it the ocean?”

“That’s right, this is the Demon Underworld Sea.”

Luo Yudie said, “The Demon Underworld Sea is vast, its territory spanning more than a million miles.

The distance being too far is secondary; the key is the numerous Yao Beasts. It is rumored that tenth-tier Yao Beasts appear in the deep-sea regions.

Without a Tribulation Transcendence Stage cultivation, it is simply impossible to cross the Demon Underworld Sea to other continents.

Not to mention it would take several years, but one’s life wouldn't even be safe.

“Hiss!”

Ye Bufan couldn't help but gasp. He hadn't seen a tenth-tier Yao Beast, but he had witnessed the power of Little Green after it reached the ninth-tier.

With his current cultivation, if he encountered a tenth-tier Yao Beast, he probably wouldn't even have the right to escape; he would just become its excrement.

However, thinking of the upcoming Prodigy Competition, there must be ways for the various states to communicate.

He asked, “Then how can I get to Tianqiong State?”
