Chapter 4062: The melon is too big

Ye Bufan was startled; it was Xie Hongying who appeared before him.

At this moment, the woman's face was expressionless, but her eyes held a chilling coldness.

"What's going on? Why is this woman looking for him? Did she see him kill Chao Kuan just now?"

Ye Bufan's mind raced. He remained silent, choosing to observe and adapt to see what her true intentions were.

After a brief silence, Xie Hongying spoke, "Whose Rebirth are you, exactly? How dare you ruin my plans?"

"Rebirth?"

After a moment of surprise, Ye Bufan immediately understood. It seemed the other party had mistaken him for a powerful Rebirth.

This was not surprising; after all, achieving such advanced Alchemy skills at a young age and winning the Dan Wang title could easily lead to such a conclusion.

Now he was even more certain that this Xie Hongying was fake and definitely not the Alchemist Guild's Disciple.

The reason she sought him out was most likely because of the Dan Wang title being taken. Either she was here to cause trouble, or she was here to demand the prizes.

What should he do? How should he respond?

Although the other party had not released her Aura, he could still feel that her strength was absolutely extraordinary, at least at the Immortal Emperor Peak and above.

Since he couldn't ascertain her true strength, it was best to avoid a confrontation.

But how could he make her hesitant and prevent her from attacking him?

Suddenly, an idea struck him. He said indifferently, "Since you've seen through me, this old man will no longer hide it. I am Xuanji Emperor Rebirth!"

According to Ye Bufan's thinking, Xuanji Emperor was, after all, one of the Five Great Saint Emperors.

Even if the other party was also a powerful Rebirth through Possession, she shouldn't be stronger. This title should be enough to hold the situation.

But to his utter surprise, the moment the words "Xuanji Emperor" left his mouth, the originally calm Xie Hongying instantly erupted.

"Damn old scoundrel, so it was you! You're actually still alive!"

Her words were few, but each word was filled with bone-chilling hatred.

"Oh my goodness, what's going on?"

Ye Bufan was a bit bewildered. He had originally intended to use Xuanji Emperor's reputation to avoid a fight if possible, hoping to scare off the opponent. He never expected them to be acquaintances.

Moreover, judging by her reaction, they weren't just ordinary acquaintances; there was deep-seated hatred between them.

However, the words had already been spoken, and it was too late to regret. Even if he tried to retract them, she wouldn't believe him.

With no other choice, he could only brace himself and endure, his Immortal Essence circulating, ready to strike at any moment.

"Who are you? Do I know you?"

"You despicable, shameless, and utterly faithless old scoundrel, do you not recognize me anymore? I am Yuwen Juan!"

"Utterly faithless?"

Ye Bufan's heart trembled. His impersonation seemed to have gotten him into a big mess, even involving a romantic drama?

Who was Yuwen Juan? He had no idea. How should he respond to this? What should he do?

He now wished he could summon Xuanji Emperor to stand in front of him. That old fellow actually had romantic debts! If he had known this, he would have turned and run, not impersonated him even if it killed him.

Besides, this woman was also blind. She clearly participated in the competition with Xuanji Emperor, so why didn't she recognize him?

It seemed both of them had changed their appearances and hidden themselves extremely well. But if you thought about it, the names Mu Ji put together formed 'Xuanji's Ji'!

Seeing Ye Bufan's reaction, Yuwen Juan gave a cold laugh. In her mind, Xuanji Emperor was feeling guilty and flustered upon encountering her.

"I followed you for three thousand years, but you abandoned me for that other woman.

At that time, I hated you so much. I swore to take revenge, to make you regret it for a lifetime, to make you pay the price for your betrayal!"

Yuwen Juan's face became twisted with rage as she spoke, then she began to laugh maniacally.

"I prepared a grand gift for you, to make you regret forever, but then you suddenly died.

That made me very unhappy, very displeased. But I never expected that heaven had eyes and gave me another chance for revenge, allowing me to meet you again!"

Ye Bufan stood there, utterly at a loss for what to do.

Given the level of hatred in the other party's eyes, if he tried to run, he would probably be immediately subjected to an overwhelming attack.

He decided to wait and see. Perhaps another opportunity would arise later.

So he stood there, cautiously on guard, listening to her continue her story.

Yuwen Juan stared at him with a crazed expression, her eyes filled with an abnormal sense of triumph.

"Xuanji, do you know? After you betrayed me, I also betrayed you and put a huge hat on your head!

And I didn't choose just anyone, but your greatest enemy, Devouring Heaven Demon Emperor.

Hahaha… You never expected that, did you? How do you feel knowing this news? Are you very angry? Do you feel a surge of unventable fury?"

"Uh…"

Ye Bufan's expression grew increasingly strange. He had only impersonated Xuanji Emperor, and by a strange twist of fate, he had stumbled upon such a huge secret.

He didn't know who Yuwen Juan was, nor did he know what had happened back then.

But some things were clear now: this woman was once Xuanji Emperor's Dao Companion, and she chose to retaliate due to his betrayal.

And the method of retaliation was to cheat on him, to put a green hat on him, choosing Devouring Heaven Demon Emperor as her partner.

Melodramatic! It was absolutely too melodramatic! He never expected that the powerful figures of the past could be so crazy!

"Why aren't you angry yet? Haven't you gone mad yet? Or are you desperately trying to control yourself?"

Yuwen Juan stared at Ye Bufan's strange expression, assuming he was suppressing his anger, and laughed even more wildly and triumphantly.

"Don't worry, there's more exciting stuff to come. For so many years, I haven't had anyone to tell this to. I originally thought I'd take it to my grave, but I never expected to meet you again."

Excitement, madness—under the thrill of revenge, Yuwen Juan's originally beautiful face became increasingly distorted.

"I originally only wanted to retaliate against you, which is why I approached Devouring Heaven Demon Emperor. But I never expected him to be better than I imagined, at least ten thousand times better than you.

He is a true man, truly devoted his emotions to me, not a philanderer, not fickle.

And I was worthy of him; I bore him a son.

I wanted to wait until the child was born, then take him to see you, to see your wonderful expression, to see your reaction after being cuckolded, but you didn't live to see that day."

Yuwen Juan continued to ramble on, "But that made me very unhappy, it didn't allow me to fully vent the hatred in my heart.

Later, I came up with a plan: I gave all the treasures I got from you to my and Devouring Heaven Demon Emperor's son.

Including the chaotic spiritual treasure Sun-Extinguishing Bow, including the Space Blade, and also that egg you cared about most.

In short, I gave everything you cared about most to my child. I want to make sure you can't rest in peace even in the underworld!"

"Uh!"

Ye Bufan's eyes widened abruptly, his mouth agape, unable to close for a long time. This secret was too big to handle.

Xuanji Emperor's Dao Companion had cuckolded him, the other party was Devouring Heaven Demon Emperor, and he seemed to know the child they had given birth to.

The Sun-Extinguishing Bow, the Space Blade, plus that egg—the answer was already obvious.
