Chapter 3597: Terrified

Xuanyuan Zhantian and Fanghua were dumbfounded, and even Gu Qingcheng, Sima Wei, He Shuangshuang, and the others nearby were completely bewildered.

They had witnessed firsthand how arrogant these two people were just moments ago, their gazes at them as if they were lofty gods looking down on ants, boundless in their arrogance.

But in the blink of an eye, they were kneeling, utterly subservient, their eyes filled with terror, as if they had seen something terrifying.

They had no idea of the turmoil in Xuan Lu's and the other's hearts at this moment; they cursed Eastern China Immortal King's ancestors from head to toe.

They were all too clear about Ye Bufan's power, status, and ruthlessness in the Lower Heaven Region.

They had personally witnessed how the East Flower Immortal King's Mansion was razed to the ground, and then personally experienced the change of the Eastern China Immortal King's Residence.

How could such a ruthless character, capable of chasing a Peak Immortal King expert like a dog and unifying the entire Lower Heaven Region, be provoked by two mere Void Immortals?

If Eastern China Immortal King hadn't repeatedly guaranteed that Ye Bufan was dead, they wouldn't have dared to cause trouble at his home even with ten thousand guts.

And they even tried to snatch his wife; just thinking about it now made their hearts tremble.

Now, seeing his return as a king, the two of them were completely terrified, without even the courage to flee.

Ye Bufan glanced at the two, his expression instantly turning cold; daring to lay hands on his family was a grave taboo for him, touching his inverse scale.

"Young Master Ye, spare us! This was all Eastern China Immortal King's doing; it has nothing to do with us…"

"Yes, Ye Yixian, don't blame us, really don't blame us, we are just small figures, we had no choice…"

The two of them spoke while continuously kowtowing for mercy, not daring to use any protective immortal Qi, their heads hitting the ground until they bled, yet they didn't hesitate in the slightest.

Ye Bufan had no pity for such people; he reached out and pressed on the opponent's Baihui acupoint, performing the Soul Searching Technique.

A moment later, he retracted his right hand, and two fireballs shot out, incinerating the two into nothingness.

At this moment, his expression was incredibly grim, his eyes filled with murderous intent.

Duanmu Yun Chong, this fellow was so despicable as to harm his family; it seemed he had to eliminate this Old Man to prevent future trouble.

The surrounding crowd watched, dumbfounded, originally expecting a great battle, but it was resolved so easily.

"Little fellow, what exactly happened? They seem to be very afraid of you!"

Xuanyuan Zhantian pulled Ye Bufan back from his daze, the killing intent on his face gradually dissipating.

"Nothing, they're just too weak."

After speaking, Ye Bufan waved his hand, dispelling all the Restrictions that had sealed Gu Qingcheng and the others.

"Xiaofan, you're back…"

"Ye Dage, I missed you so much!"

These people swarmed forward, surrounding Ye Bufan in the center, pouring out their longing.

Seeing this scene, Xuanyuan Zhantian shook his head and pouted.

"This fellow has so many women, doesn't it affect his sword-drawing speed?"

Fanghua checked his injuries, confirming that there was nothing serious, and gave him a fierce glare.

"You have the nerve to say that? If it weren't for Ye Yixian's timely return, your old life would be gone."

Xuanyuan Zhantian chuckled: "Could it be that my strength isn't enough because I have too few women? It seems I need to find a few more in the future!"

Fanghua looked at him indifferently, then her gaze fell to below his abdomen: "Do you dare?"

"No, no, of course I don't dare!"

Xuanyuan Zhantian looked embarrassed and quickly changed the subject, calling out to Ye Bufan: "Little fellow, you can be intimate later, this Old Man still has something to ask you!"

"You guys wait for me first!"

Amidst the reluctant gazes of the many women, Ye Bufan walked back, leading Xuanyuan Zhantian and his wife to sit on a long bench under a rockery nearby.

"Speak, what do you want to ask?"

Xuanyuan Zhantian chuckled: "Little fellow, you've returned from the Immortal Realm, right? Did you see Linglong? How is my daughter doing now?"

Ye Bufan said: "Don't worry, your daughter is doing very well."

"Really? That's wonderful!"

Upon receiving this news, Xuanyuan Zhantian and his wife were beaming with joy, their hanging hearts finally settling down.

"Then my daughter…"

The Old Man was about to ask further, but Ye Bufan raised his hand to stop him.

As the saying goes, a child traveling a thousand miles causes a mother's worry; if he let the couple keep asking, it would probably take a long time to finish.

"No need to ask, I'll tell you everything from beginning to end."

He recounted everything about Xuan Yuan Linglong's Ascension from beginning to end, until she was finally by his side.

"What? Geng Junsheng, that bastard, how dare he treat my daughter like that!"

Although the matter was in the past, Xuanyuan Zhantian was still furious after hearing it, turning back to glare fiercely at Fanghua.

"It's all your woman's short-sightedness! I said I wouldn't take him as a disciple back then, but you insisted on speaking good words for him. Now look, we've taken in a wolf in human skin, who almost killed our daughter."

"I… I didn't know he was such a beast…"

Fanghua looked embarrassed; she had indeed been deceived by Geng Junsheng's sweet words back then, forcing Xuanyuan Zhantian to take such a disciple.

Ye Bufan quickly advised: "Forget it, what's past is past.

Now Linglong is fine, and Geng Junsheng has already been dismembered, so there's no need to dwell on these matters anymore."

"Brother Ye, this Old Man thanks you again for your benevolence."

Xuanyuan Zhantian was filled with gratitude, and as he spoke, he was about to kneel again, but Ye Bufan reached out and helped him up.

"Old brother, you're too polite. There's no need for thanks between us; didn't you also help me a great deal this time?

You saved my sixteen women, and I saved your one daughter; by calculation, I'm the one who benefited from you."

"That's different, Linglong is our lifeblood; saving her is the greatest gift to us, husband and wife."

Xuanyuan Zhantian said, his small eyes darting, a cunning smile playing at the corner of his mouth.

"My wife and I have never owed anyone such a great debt of gratitude for so many years, and we can't repay it.

How about this, we'll marry Linglong to you as your wife; that way, we won't owe you a favor."

At this point, he turned to look at Fanghua: "Old woman, what do you think of my idea?"

Fanghua was stunned for a moment, then nodded repeatedly.

"Not bad, not bad, this favor is too great, and we can't repay it, so we can only let our daughter offer herself."

Ye Bufan looked astonished, then came back to his senses and waved his hands repeatedly: "This won't do, this isn't appropriate, I don't need your thanks, it's all as it should be."

"What's inappropriate? Our Linglong is pure and innocent; she's never been touched by a man in her life.

You're the only exception; if she doesn't marry you, who will she marry?"

Ye Bufan was a bit confused, "I say, Old Man, when did I ever touch Linglong?"

Xuanyuan Zhantian chuckled: "Boy, you don't want to admit it? My daughter's Physical Body was created by you; when do you say you touched her?"

"I…"

Ye Bufan clearly underestimated the Old Man's shamelessness and was speechless for a moment.

Xuanyuan Zhantian burst into laughter: "This matter is happily decided then! From now on, you are my son-in-law!"
