Extra: Li Qingzhu (IV)
The Overlord Crocodile Yao King’s body swayed, retracting his true form and transforming into a rough-looking Nameless middle-aged man, who respectfully clasped his fists and bowed.
It was clear that the death of the Octopus Beast had frightened him.
They were all Peak Rank Ten Yao Beasts, with comparable strength. If Ye Bufan could kill the Octopus Beast as easily as killing a chicken, he could kill him too.
In the Cultivation World, strength had always been paramount. Since the other party was powerful enough, how could he dare to be as arrogant as before?
“Overlord Crocodile of the Demon Underworld Sea greets Immortal Saint Ancestor!”
He had never seen Ye Bufan before, but he could guess his identity; only the legendary Immortal Saint Ancestor could possess such terrifying strength.
The Overlord Crocodile Yao King said, “I have offended Immortal Saint Ancestor, please forgive me. We will return to the Demon Underworld Sea now!”
He had previously been the king of the entire Demon Underworld Sea, always acting tyrannically, so speaking in such a humble tone was absolutely a first.
Ye Bufan, however, smiled coldly, “You come when you want, and leave when you want? What do you take my Shui Mu University for?”
“This…”
The Overlord Crocodile Yao King’s expression froze, filled with anger, but remembering the Octopus Beast’s tragic state, he suppressed it.
“May I ask what Immortal Saint Ancestor wishes?”
Ye Bufan said lightly, “Those who offend my Shui Mu University die! Considering your attitude is not bad, I’ll be lenient. You and that glowing turtle bastard can commit suicide here.
The rest of you will kneel and apologize, swearing never to set foot on land again.”
Although the Overlord Crocodile Yao King was afraid, he didn’t want to sacrifice his life and immediately shook his head in refusal.
“That’s impossible!”
The Golden-Patterned Mysterious Ice Turtle was even more enraged. As a king of the Demon Underworld Sea, he had never been addressed in such a manner.
Although “glowing turtle bastard” was a fitting description, it was too insulting to a powerful being.
“Ye, don’t go too far. If you push me, we’ll fight to the death…”
Before he could finish speaking, Dark Moon Silent in Ye Bufan’s hand swept out again, and a faint glow flashed.
The Golden-Patterned Mysterious Ice Turtle’s words came to an abrupt halt, split perfectly in two. Even its strongest defensive turtle shell was neatly cut in half.
“This…”
At this, the many Yao Beasts of the Demon Underworld Sea were terrified and trembling. This Immortal Saint Ancestor was incredibly strong and acted without hesitation, truly a ruthless character of few words. Now, two of the three leading Yao Kings had been annihilated by him with a mere flick of his hand.
Ye Bufan reached out and retracted Dark Moon Silent, his voice calm, “You want to fight to the death with me? Are you even worthy?”
Seeing this, the Overlord Crocodile Beast shrank his neck in fear, but at this point, he had no chance to retreat and could only brace himself and shout.
“Immortal Saint Ancestor, although you are powerful, don’t go too far!
Even if you can kill me, can you kill so many powerful beings of my Demon Underworld Sea? Once the war begins, very few people at Shui Mu University will survive.”
At this point, he could only resort to this tactic, hoping to intimidate the other party and secure a path to survival.
It proved to be a very morale-boosting method. The trembling Yao Beasts of the Demon Underworld Sea regained some confidence.
Conversely, on the Shui Mu University side, the originally excited crowd showed grave expressions.
Indeed, the disparity in strength between the two sides was too great. The beast tide of the Demon Underworld Sea was boundless, and it was unknown how many Yao Beasts had been deployed. In terms of both overall numbers and the number of powerful beings, they couldn’t compare to the other side.
Once the war began, no matter how powerful Ye Bufan was, he wouldn’t be able to protect everyone, and casualties would inevitably be heavy.
Even if all the Yao Beasts were slaughtered in the end, Shui Mu University would be severely weakened, and might even be removed from the Kunlun Continent.
Even if these people weren’t afraid of death, the consequences were indeed extremely severe.
“It seems you still haven’t understood your place. A bunch of small fries, what right do you have to start a war with us? Do you have the ability to act? Do you have the right to act?”
Ye Bufan looked disdainfully at the Overlord Crocodile Yao King, waved his hand, and Little Qing directly soared into the air behind him. To everyone’s astonishment, she revealed her true form: a five-clawed Azure Dragon appeared in mid-air.
At this, the situation instantly changed. The Yao Beasts, which had been stirring, instantly prostrated themselves under the immense Dragon Might, trembling with fear, not even daring to raise their heads, let alone act.
Even the Rank Ten Peak Overlord Crocodile Yao King was the same, instantly reverting to his original form under the Dragon Might, trembling on the ground.
There was no other way. Compared to a true Dragon Clan, the disparity in strength Rank was too great. This was the most typical Bloodline suppression.
In front of a true Dragon Clan, they were like lambs to the slaughter.
It was no exaggeration to say that if the people of Shui Mu University were to act at this moment, they could simply slaughter them all, one by one.
The people of Shui Mu University were also astonished, never expecting that this Immortal Saint Ancestor would have a true Dragon by his side.
Li Daoran and Li Qingzhu were even more so. They had both seen Little Qing back then, but she was far from as powerful as she was now.
“Now do you understand? If I say you die, you must die!”
A sharp glint flashed in Ye Bufan’s eyes, and Dark Moon Silent swept out again. The Overlord Crocodile Yao King’s head flew off directly.
This beast tide had truly ignited his anger. If he hadn’t been there, Shui Mu University would have suffered heavy losses.
In this situation, he had to kill one to warn a hundred. Only by severely punishing these Yao Beasts could similar incidents be prevented in the future.
Establishing his authority, that was what he needed to do now. Only then could he completely deter those scheming opportunists.
Having slain the Overlord Crocodile Yao King, he scanned the Yao Beasts before him. Feeling the immense pressure, they all prostrated themselves on the ground, not daring to breathe, fearing that they would be the next to die.
Feeling that it was enough, Ye Bufan waved his hand, and Little Qing transformed into human form and stood behind him.
With the immense Dragon Might lifted, the Yao Beasts recovered somewhat, barely able to stand.
Ye Bufan looked at them, “Besides those three, who is in charge among you?”
“This…”
Hearing this question, the Yao Beasts’ hearts tightened, thinking he was going to kill a fourth one to establish his authority. They all retreated.
Especially the remaining seven Rank Ten Peak Yao Beasts, who lowered their heads nervously, fearing that misfortune would fall upon them.
“Then all seven of you come forward.”
Ye Bufan also understood their little tricks and said directly, “All of you, swear an oath that you will be confined to the Demon Underworld Sea for this lifetime, and are not allowed to step onto the continent!”
Hearing that they weren’t going to be killed, the seven great Yao Beasts secretly breathed a sigh of relief, hastily swore a solemn oath, and then led the many Yao Beasts to kneel and apologize.
“Alright, all of you, get lost!”
Ye Bufan waved his hand. He wasn’t a bloodthirsty person. Killing the three great Yao Kings to establish his authority was enough. He would drive all the remaining Yao Beasts back to the Demon Underworld Sea.
“Long live Immortal Saint Ancestor!”
With the crisis resolved, the people of Shui Mu University cheered, but were quickly persuaded by the academy’s higher-ups, and the crowd slowly dispersed.
But the matter was not over. Li Qingzhu looked at Ye Bufan with a complex expression, “Since you have returned, Shui Mu University will be handed over to you.
I have seen through the affairs of the Mortal World and will soon convert to Buddhism and become a nun!”
“Brat, if you dare to let my Granddaughter become a nun, this Old Man will hang himself in front of you right now!”
Li Daoran said, pulling out a rope. Unfortunately, he searched around for a long time but couldn’t find a crooked neck tree, so he ended up just tying it around his own neck.
Ye Bufan shook his head helplessly, “Alright! Stop messing around!”
Li Daoran shouted, “Brat, this Old Man isn’t messing around with you! If my Granddaughter really becomes a nun, the Li family will have no heir, and I won’t live!”
Ye Bufan sighed and came before Li Qingzhu, “Senior Sister, why are you like this?”
“Then what else can I do?”
As Li Qingzhu spoke, her eyes were red, and her voice carried endless grievance. Two lines of crystalline tears flowed down her cheeks.
“Back then, I didn’t choose to go with you, thinking I would forget after some time, but I couldn’t.
Lingxi can start anew, can marry and have children, but I really can’t. I tried, I attempted, but every day I only think of you.
It’s been over twenty years, and it’s still like this. Every day is unbearable pain. What else can I do? I can only seek help from the Buddha, hoping to sever this Mortal World connection.
Facing Li Qingzhu, who was crying like a pear blossom bathed in rain, Ye Bufan’s heart was filled with pity. This was also an emotional debt from back then.
“Senior Sister, you know my situation. Don’t you feel wronged?”
Li Qingzhu choked out, “Now, as long as I have you, I don’t care about anything else. But is it still not too late?”
“Of course it’s not too late!”
Ye Bufan said, taking her hand. At this point, there was no other choice.
Hearing their conversation, Li Daoran excitedly tore off the rope from his neck, “Brat, you agreed?”
Ye Bufan looked at the Old Man, “With your crying, making a scene, and threatening to hang yourself, how can I not agree?”
“Less nonsense, no matter the reason, as long as you agree, it’s good.”
Li Daoran was incredibly excited, grabbing both their arms, “Wedding night, immediately the wedding night!
Next year, I want to hold my great-Grandson. You two must hurry!”
Li Qingzhu was ultimately a girl. Although happy, she still blushed and lowered her head.
Ye Bufan didn’t refuse either. Since he had agreed, there was no need for any elaborate formalities.
“I don’t agree, this isn’t fair!”
A dissatisfied voice came from behind, it was none other than Little Qing, pouting and looking unhappy.
Li Daoran turned his head, “Little girl, what are you making a fuss about during my Granddaughter’s happy occasion?”
Little Qing ignored him, looking angrily at Ye Bufan, “Why do you agree to Sister Qingzhu, but not me? Isn’t this bullying me because I don’t have a grandfather?”
Ye Bufan had a headache, “You take Qingtan and the others back first, and we’ll talk about it later, okay?”
“You’re biased, you’re just biased, you just don’t like me!”
Little Qing stomped her foot, and angrily left with Ye Qingtan and the other two.
Cultivators didn’t care much for elaborate formalities. After a simple renovation, a room in Li Daoran’s small courtyard became the bridal chamber for the day.
Inside the room, there was a storm, full of passion. After Ye Bufan’s diligent work, Li Qingzhu completed the transformation from a girl to a woman.
Long after the battle ceased, she clung to Ye Bufan’s chest, her cheeks burning, her expression filled with happiness.
“Xiao Fan, not following you back then was the biggest mistake of my life, delaying my happiness by twenty years.”
Ye Bufan patted her smooth, jade-like back, “Whose idea was today’s plan?”
Li Qingzhu’s expression subtly changed, her charming eyes flickering, “What are you talking about?”
“Are you still playing dumb with me?”
Ye Bufan grabbed her buttocks, “The Old Man pretended to be injured, and after I exposed him, he cried, made a scene, and threatened to hang himself. And you, your so-called entering the monastic life was fake, wasn’t it?”
Li Qingzhu’s pretty Face was already flushed, but now it turned completely red, “You… when did you figure it out?”
“Just now.”
Ye Bufan laughed, “How could a woman like you, who is still full of worldly desires and passion, enter the monastic life? Even if you went, the Buddha probably wouldn’t want you; he couldn’t possibly convert you.”
After hearing this, and thinking of her recent madness, Li Qingzhu became even more mortified, her cheeks so red they looked as if they could drip blood at any moment.
It turned out Ye Bufan was right; all of this was planned by the grandfather and Granddaughter, a complete play within a play.
Li Qingzhu’s feigned monastic life was the last card, its purpose being to force Ye Bufan into submission.
“That… Grandpa said that if I went to you directly, you definitely wouldn’t agree. Besides, I’m a girl, and I couldn’t let go of my Face, nor could I Face the other sisters.
Later, he helped me come up with this idea, saying that you are a person who values affection and righteousness, and would definitely agree.”
Li Qingzhu’s voice grew softer and softer as she spoke, “Husband, you won’t be angry that I tricked you, will you?”
“Angry, of course I’m angry, very, very angry.”
Ye Bufan’s Face darkened, “You also know that I hate it the most when others lie to me, especially my own woman, so today I must punish you.”
Li Qingzhu looked nervous, “Husband, I accept the punishment, as long as you don’t drive me away!”
“Good that you accept the punishment. Today, eighteen positions, not one less. Now, let’s start with the first one…”
After Ye Bufan finished speaking, he picked up Li Qingzhu, and spring returned to the room.
His new work “Urban Medical Immortal” is simultaneously released on Zongheng and other platforms. Welcome to read it!!!
