Chapter 469: I Deeply Love You

Gu Le looked at Lu Wan's expression and did not continue asking.

After learning that Lu Wan was also an outsider to this matter, the slight discomfort in her heart completely vanished, and she even felt faintly happy.

After all, to deal with a Genius of the Peerless Prodigy level like Ma Huainan, the price that needed to be paid was definitely not small.

Even with their status, it would make them feel a pang of distress over the cost.

Now that the matter had unexpectedly been resolved in advance by someone, the pressure on everyone naturally lessened a lot all at once.

Thinking of this, Gu Le couldn't help laughing.

"Alright, wouldn't we know by just calling Husband over to ask?"

"Anyway, it's a great joyous event."

At this moment, Yang Fan was still leisurely lying downstairs.

The soft recliner swayed slightly, and a few massage robots were methodically helping him relax his body.

Right at this moment,

Boom!

The door was suddenly shoved open fiercely, and Lu Wan walked in quickly holding a virtual helmet in one hand.

"Hm?" Yang Fan had just opened his eyes.

The next moment, a cold metal helmet directly smashed toward his head.

With Yang Fan's current strength, it was naturally impossible for him to be hit by this kind of attack.

His hand subconsciously raised, steadily catching it.

"Wife Wan'er, what's wrong?"

Yang Fan looked at the virtual helmet in his hand, a smile still lingering on his face.

"Do you want a massage together?"

Looking at the man in front of her enjoying a massage with a completely leisurely and self-satisfied face,

and thinking of how busy and flustered she had been running around for this period of time,

the fire in Lu Wan's heart instantly surged upward another notch.

She took a deep breath, "Enter the Virtual World, Gu Le is waiting for us."

"Oh…"

Yang Fan swallowed hard, not knowing why.

He always felt that his wife, who was always gentle and virtuous, was in a state today… that seemed a bit wrong.

"Mn, let's go."

Soon, the consciousnesses of the two entered the Virtual World.

Inside the pure white private space, Gu Le had already been waiting for a long time.

Seeing Yang Fan appear, she walked up quickly and tightly hugged Yang Fan's arm.

"Husband, you are so amazing!"

"You are going to resolve Ma Huainan so quickly!"

"Why didn't you tell us earlier?"

"My cousin and I have been so busy these past few months that we were almost worked to death!"

Hearing these words, Yang Fan understood instantly in his heart.

Sure enough, the matter had still been exposed.

Actually, the reason why he didn't tell Lu Wan and Gu Le

on one hand, was because they didn't take the initiative to ask at all.

on the other hand, was also because of Yang Fan's own selfishness.

For this kind of matter, naturally the fewer people who knew, the better.

Originally, in his plan, after Ma Huainan was completely resolved,

even Lu Wan and Gu Le would only think that this was some unfamiliar Corpse Cultivator god making a move.

They would treat everything as luck.

In this way, the secret of his own divine kingdom naturally wouldn't be exposed.

After all, what Yang Fan least hoped for was for the secret of his divine kingdom to be known by others.

Even if the other party was his own wife, it was the same.

But judging from Lu Wan's obviously wrong attitude just now, and Gu Le's expression of almost being certain of the answer,

Yang Fan already had a judgment in his heart: he should have been exposed.

As for the exact extent of the exposure and how many people knew, it still needed further confirmation.

"Ahem."

Yang Fan gave a light cough.

"For some matters, even I myself didn't have full assurance, so I didn't want to let you worry in vain."

This statement was ambiguous, neither denying it nor directly admitting it.

However, upon hearing this, Lu Wan, who had just been sulking, relaxed her expression a little bit.

Lu Wan took a deep breath and said,

"Husband, who on earth is this Corpse Cultivator god?"

"Is he reliable? Do we need any more support?"

"We absolutely cannot give up halfway now."

Before Yang Fan could speak, Gu Le on the side couldn't help laughing.

"Cousin Lu Wan, a Corpse Cultivator god with such a terrifying foundation isn't hard to guess."

"You actually don't even know someone from your own family?"

"Someone from my own family?" Lu Wan was startled.

Gu Le spat out three words with a smile, "Lu Mingshi."

"According to seniority, the other party should still have to call you Great-Grandma, right?"

"…" The expression on Lu Wan's face instantly froze.

The next moment, she seemed to have finally figured something out.

"So it was him!"

Lu Wan suddenly turned her head, her gaze staring fixedly at Yang Fan.

"Husband, how do you know Lu Mingshi?"

"And… he is actually willing to help you sparing no effort like this?"

Yang Fan's face couldn't help twitching slightly.

For a moment, he actually didn't know how to answer.

In fact, at this moment Yang Fan himself was very curious: who on earth was Lu Mingshi?

Why was everyone suspecting him?

If this kept making a fuss, what if one day this Lu Mingshi came looking for him, pointed at his nose and questioned: "Why did you use my identity as a shield?"

That would be a bit awkward.

Seeing Yang Fan's look of dilemma, Lu Wan hesitated for a moment.

"Husband… are there some transactions that are restricted by a contract and cannot be spoken of?"

Yang Fan was taken aback upon hearing this.

In the real world, the Human Race had federal laws.

Within the divine kingdom world, rules and contracts equally existed.

For example, the Subordinate God Contract that everyone was familiar with.

Once signed, both parties must be bound by the rules of the divine kingdom.

If either party violated the contract, they would have to pay a price.

Therefore, in Lu Wan's view, a Lu Mingshi would not even hesitate to bet the combat power of his entire divine kingdom to help her husband solve a Peerless Prodigy.

Then between the two parties, apart from those two hundred million ten thousand corpse military tombs, there must be even deeper-level transactions.

And even to ensure that the transaction between the two sides was fair enough, they likely even used a divine kingdom contract.

Thinking of this, the gaze Lu Wan cast toward Yang Fan instead held a bit more understanding.

"Husband, if it is inconvenient for you to speak, it doesn't matter."

"It is just… since it already involves transactions of this level,"

"You must be careful."

Hearing this, Yang Fan felt even more bizarre in his heart.

Looking at Lu Wan's eyes full of worry, Yang Fan hardened his heart and then nodded earnestly.

"Wan'er, Le'er, just leave this matter to me!"

"I am your husband, your man."

"In the future, it is up to me to protect you."

"And this is my own problem, how could I push all the difficulties onto you?"

"Everyone has responsibilities that they need to shoulder."

Saying this, Yang Fan reached out and pulled the two of them to his side, one on the left and one on the right.

Afterwards, he held Lu Wan with one hand and Gu Le with the other.

The palms of the three slowly stacked together.

"Wan'er, Le'er, I deeply love you."

"This is a responsibility that I, as a husband and a man, should shoulder myself."

"Back then when I told you about this matter, watching you run around busily for my affairs these past few days, my conscience has constantly been under condemnation."

"Sometimes, I even feel like I've failed as a man."

"Clearly it should be me protecting you, but in the end, it made you bear the pressure together with me."

Yang Fan took a deep breath.

"So… please believe me."

"I deeply love you."

Finishing speaking, Yang Fan opened his arms and forcefully pulled Lu Wan and Gu Le together into his embrace.

His eyes didn't have the slightest bit of joking, only the most sincere earnestness.
