Extra: Lee Qingzhu (2)

Ye Bufan smiled, "I am a Medical Immortal. It's one thing to try to deceive me with other things, but to use injuries? Did you think I couldn't tell without taking your pulse?"

"This…"

With his deception exposed, Li Daoran still felt a bit awkward.

"Old Man, you really went all out this time, beating yourself half to death and not drinking for three or four days. What exactly do you want to do?"

"What do I want to do? It's all your fault!"

Li Daoran quickly recovered from his embarrassment, snatched the wine jar, and guzzled it down.

This time, Ye Bufan didn't stop him, letting him drink his fill.

"Splendid! Absolutely splendid! I've been craving this for days, Old Man."

Li Daoran drank an entire jar of wine in one go, then smashed the jar to pieces.

"It's all your fault, kid. You stole my Granddaughter's heart. Ever since you left, she hasn't even looked at another man, let alone sought one out.

It's been over twenty years, and nothing has changed. I've tried to persuade her with all my heart, even talking until my lips were thin, but it's useless.

If it were just that, it would be fine, but a few days ago, she suddenly wanted to become a nun! Isn't that trying to kill this Old Man!

I had no choice but to resort to this bitter ploy.

Did you think I was acting for you? If I hadn't been holding her back, Qingzhu would have already abandoned Shui Mu University and gone to a temple to become a nun!"

"Uh… this…"

Ye Bufan was speechless, unsure how to respond at the moment.

He had accumulated too many emotional debts back then. Twenty years had passed, and he had many sons and daughters, but there were still unpaid debts here.

"I don't care. Since you're here today, you must take responsibility. Just tell me, will you marry my Granddaughter or not?"

"This…"

Ye Bufan was full of difficulty, not knowing how to answer.

"Stop with the 'this and that' with me. Give me a straight answer today. If you don't agree, this Old Man will die right in front of you."

After saying that, Li Daoran directly pulled out a rope, tied it to the beam, and stood on his tiptoes, about to hang himself.

"Alright, alright, Old Man, stop making a fuss. Let's talk this through properly."

Ye Bufan flicked a wisp of flame to burn the rope, but he was truly having a headache.

He counted on his fingers, "Look, these three are my daughters, and there are dozens more behind them. I currently have over twenty wives…"

Li Daoran interrupted directly, "Stop talking nonsense! You have so many already, one more Granddaughter won't make a difference!"

"But, that would be unfair to Qingzhu!"

"Nonsense! I don't feel wronged, so where do you get 'unfair' from? It's certainly better than going to a temple to become a nun…"

"Old Man, how can you say that? A forced melon isn't sweet…"

"Sweet or not isn't important. What's important now is to quench the thirst, to first prevent my Granddaughter from becoming a nun…"

Li Daoran pressed on, unyielding, "Just tell me, do you agree or not? If you don't agree, either kill me, or I'll kill myself.

Anyway, this Old Man isn't living anymore; you're forcing me!"

"Uh…"

Even with his world-destroying Cultivation, Ye Bufan truly couldn't think of a good countermeasure against this Old Man's tactic of making a scene and threatening suicide.

"Old Man, how about this, let's consider it a bit more, alright?"

In his helplessness, he could only resort to delaying tactics, but Li Daoran simply didn't fall for it.

"Consider what nonsense? You've healed my injuries, I've drunk the wine, and I can't fake this illness anymore.

If you don't agree, Qingzhu will become a nun. You must give me an answer today."

"This…"

Ye Bufan was caught between agreeing and not agreeing when, at that moment, a rough and violent voice echoed in the air.

"All Human Race of Shui Mu University, get out here!"

Although he didn't know what had happened yet, one thing was certain: trouble had arrived.

Ye Bufan immediately felt as if he had grasped a life-saving straw and quickly said, "Let's put this matter aside for now. We'll go see what's happening first."

With that, his figure flashed and disappeared from the spot, with Li Daoran and the others following behind.

Shui Mu University was now in complete chaos.

For so many years, as the highest-ranking academy in the entire Kunlun Continent, there was usually not even a single troublemaker, but today it faced its biggest problem—a Yao Beast tide.

That's right, it was a Yao Beast tide. Generally, only places bordering Yao Beast gathering areas encountered such things, but today, Shui Mu University truly encountered it.

At this moment, the entire academy was surrounded by endless Yao Beasts, and their Rank was very high; the lowest Rank was above six, and each exuded an aura of the ocean.

It turned out that all of these came from the Demon Underworld Sea, and what was deadly was their extremely high Rank: one hundred at Rank ten, ten at Peak, and the three leaders were only one step away from Undergoing Tribulation Ascension.

They were the Overlord Crocodile Yao King, the Golden-Patterned Mysterious Ice Turtle, and the Three-Headed Nine-Clawed Octopus Beast.

Shui Mu University was nearly a hundred thousand miles from the Demon Underworld Sea, and they had never imagined that one day they would face so many Yao Beasts.

Furthermore, after so many years without trouble, they had developed lax habits and were completely unprepared; they hadn't even managed to activate the sect-protecting array set up by Ye Bufan.

When the alarm sounded, so many Yao Beasts had already completely broken through the academy's defenses.

The Three-Headed Nine-Clawed Octopus Beast did not transform into human form but floated in the Void Realm in its true body.

Its three massive heads were like small mountains, and its nine huge tentacles continuously extended and retracted around its body, exuding immense pressure from head to toe.

"Who's in charge here? Get out here, before this King!"

"Who dares to offend my Shui Mu University!"

With an angry roar, a figure soared into the sky; it was Li Qingzhu, who served as the Vice Dean.

Through years of diligent Cultivation, coupled with Ye Bufan's endless resources, her strength had advanced by leaps and bounds, and she was now at the Early Stage of the Tribulation Transcendence Stage.

Behind her, powerful Qi burst forth one after another, and Tribulation Transcendence Stage powerhouses gathered.

The strength of two individuals among them was the most formidable, having already reached the Peak of the Tribulation Transcendence Stage; they were Luoshui Xiang and Zeng Baolian, who had escaped from Paradise Island back then.

The others from that group had already Ascended. They had the lowest strength and were the youngest back then, and now they were the only two remaining Elders.

Although this was Shui Mu University and they had an advantage in numbers, the vast majority were Disciples with lower Cultivation Ranks, and the true powerhouses were much weaker compared to the Demon Underworld Sea.

Li Qingzhu, in white robes, held a long sword, stepped into the Void Realm, and glared at the many Yao Beasts before her.

"Are you all mad? Why aren't you staying in the Demon Underworld Sea and instead running to our Tianluo State?"

The Golden-Patterned Mysterious Ice Turtle said, "Little girl, who are you? Can you make decisions?"

Li Qingzhu's expression was cold, "I am the Vice Dean of Shui Mu University. I make all the decisions here!"

The Overlord Crocodile Yao King said, "Alright then, this King is now informing you: take your subordinates and get out. From now on, this place belongs to my Demon Underworld Sea!"

It turned out that the purpose of the Yao Beasts from the Demon Underworld Sea launching the Yao Beast tide was precisely this: they had taken a liking to the rich Spiritual Qi of Shui Mu University.

For the past millions of years, they had honestly stayed in the Demon Underworld Sea because the Spiritual Qi in the sea and on land was not much different.

These Yao Beasts were more suited to the ocean, so they completely disregarded human territory.

But now it was different; the Spiritual Qi in Tianluo State was much richer than in their territory, so the powerful Yao Beasts developed covetous desires, leading to this Yao Beast tide.
