Soon, Han Yan arrived with a zither and personally played a piece for Yun Fan, her playing exceptionally elegant.
There were no rough scenes of sparks and lightning.
A melody of "high mountains and flowing water meeting a kindred spirit" washed away the world's vanity and vicissitudes.
As Yun Fan listened, a drowsy feeling began to creep in.
This sleepiness was not forced; even he fell asleep without realizing it.
"Young Master, Young Master, why have you fallen asleep?"
Han Yan gently called out to Yun Fan, but Yun Fan was truly asleep.
At this moment, a soft, charming smile appeared on Han Yan's lips, and she then unbuttoned her clothes.
...
The next day, Yun Fan woke up to find himself lying in bed. "How could I have fallen asleep?"
Yun Fan attributed it to overexertion. Even with his Emperor-level strength, he couldn't withstand it!
Therefore, it was inevitable that he would feel sleepy; this should be normal. What puzzled him was that his spirit seemed a bit fatigued.
He attributed this to sleeping too long.
At this moment, Han Yan arrived, bringing Yun Fan a pot of plum blossom tea.
"Young Master, you were too tired yesterday and fell asleep! I didn't wake you!"
She explained to Yun Fan.
Yun Fan smiled faintly upon hearing this, "It's fine, a good sleep can clear away all fatigue! Now that you mention it, I want to hear you play again!"
Han Yan smiled slightly upon hearing this, "If Young Master wishes to hear it again, I shall play another piece for you!"
"Alright!"
As the words left his mouth, Yun Fan froze. When did he, who only knew how to fight, become so cultured?
This was beyond reason. The key was that he genuinely felt a strong urge to listen.
Subsequently, Han Yan played another piece for him.
Similar to yesterday, before the piece ended, Yun Fan was once again enveloped in drowsiness and then unexpectedly fell into a deep sleep.
At this moment, Han Yan naturally lay down beside Yun Fan.
Another day passed.
Yun Fan woke up from his sleep again, feeling extremely exhausted, even more so than the day before. He didn't know why, but he only felt a coldness in his waist.
"I just slept for a day, and I'm already suffering from kidney deficiency?"
Yun Fan was a little confused. However, after checking that his clothes were intact, he had no suspicions, as, in his opinion, Han Yan was not that kind of person.
Besides, while he was asleep, he likely wouldn't have had the opportunity to do anything "intimate," right?
Therefore, he attributed it all to the cold weather.
So cold that his kidneys were frozen.
At this moment, he immediately got out of bed but found his legs went weak, almost causing him to fall.
"Something is wrong, very wrong!"
Yun Fan had a bad premonition. With his Emperor-level physique, he shouldn't be this weak, and he had also sensed something amiss.
Han Yan was problematic, but he didn't expose her, pretending he knew nothing.
As expected, Han Yan arrived again at this moment.
Then, Han Yan said to Yun Fan, "Young Master, you must be very tired. You fell asleep again yesterday!"
"It's nothing. I've been fighting constantly. Now I just want to sleep for a few days!"
Yun Fan said, "I want to hear you play again!"
"Then I'll arrange it for Young Master!"
Han Yan began to play the zither for Yun Fan again. Unlike the previous two days when he was caught off guard, this time, Yun Fan was extremely vigilant inwardly.
Of course, he didn't show it on his face.
As expected, when the zither music began, a wave of sleepiness washed over him again. If the previous two times were coincidences, then this time was likely a deliberate arrangement!
Furthermore, Yun Fan truly didn't believe all this was a coincidence. Ultimately, Han Yan was the problem.
Thus, he subtly displayed his drowsiness and then pretended to fall into a deep sleep.
Seeing this, Han Yan stopped playing the zither and placed her hand on Yun Fan's head.
At that very moment, Yun Fan suddenly opened his eyes, startling Han Yan greatly.
"Young Master, you weren't asleep?"
Han Yan's expression changed, and she pretended to be overwhelmed with surprise.
Yun Fan said coldly, "What do you want to do to me?"
"I just wanted to tuck you in properly. I had no other intentions!"
Han Yan quickly explained.
But Yun Fan wasn't going to listen to her explanation. Instead, he said, "I don't think so! My body is getting weaker and weaker. I think you're behind this!"
"Young Master, you wrong me! I really didn't!"
Han Yan explained hastily.
But in the next moment, Yun Fan directly attacked. To his surprise, Han Yan was already prepared, and his move missed.
"I just want to know, what did you do to me?"
Yun Fan asked coldly. Fortunately, he discovered it in time. If it had continued, he might have lost his life.
Seeing her plan exposed, Han Yan no longer concealed anything.
"Young Master, I just wanted your essence!"
"What?"
Yun Fan was instantly stunned. He hadn't expected Han Yan to be problematic.
Han Yan said, "Young Master, I had no choice!"
"A fine 'no choice'! Explain yourself!"
Yun Fan said angrily.
At this moment, Han Yan said, "I am a plum blossom spirit from ancient times. Later, I was subdued by the Nine Heavens Profound Maiden, and she brought me here. She imprisoned me here, so I cannot leave and go outside!"
"So that's how it is!"
Yun Fan asked, "Why did my Senior Sister imprison you here?"
So it turned out Han Yan was a demon.
Han Yan said, "Because she needed to suppress that anomaly, so she planted me here!"
"What does this have to do with you wanting my essence?"
This was the answer Yun Fan truly sought.
Han Yan quickly said, "I need to break through. Only by breaking through can I break the seal and escape!"
In fact, Han Yan was also feeling wronged. She had been trapped here for decades, enduring the hardship of freezing weather every day, which was truly unbearable.
She couldn't stand this desolate place for another moment. Now that the anomaly had been eliminated by Yun Fan, she just wanted to leave.
Of course, Yun Fan was a good choice, and the one she favored most.
Upon hearing this, Yun Fan felt that her request was not unreasonable, but wasn't it a bit too embarrassing for him to be unaware?
He felt his dignity had been insulted, and given his current weakened state, it could only be said that Han Yan was extraordinary. Truly worthy of being a demon; a normal person couldn't possibly withstand it.
At this moment, Yun Fan asked, "How did you do it while I was asleep?"
This was the question he was most concerned about and curious about.
Han Yan said, "Because I used a cultivation technique applicable to my demon race, called 'Divine Wandering'!"
"So that's how it is!"
Yun Fan asked, "So, you... you did it to me while I was dreaming?"
"Mmm!"
Han Yan nodded shyly, then took out a piece of white gauze, on which there were faint bloodstains.
"Young Master, from now on, I am yours!"
Yun Fan strongly disagreed with this statement. He hadn't even been aware of it. But life was like this; some harm was done before you even knew it.
At this moment, Yun Fan asked again, "Just tell me, how long were you successful while I was asleep?"
"Two days!"
Han Yan answered truthfully.
"Not a single moment of rest?"
"No!"
"Holy crap!"
Yun Fan's vision went black. He knew why his Emperor-level physique had become so weak; the expenditure was just too terrifying!
However, what was done was done. What else could he do? He couldn't possibly kill Han Yan, could he?
"Did you break through then?"
Yun Fan asked displeasedly. This kind of pleasure obtained with ulterior motives was not what he wanted.
"I broke through, but I still can't break my mistress's seal!"
Han Yan said with a troubled expression.
Yun Fan asked, "Can I help you?"
"Young Master, my mistress's methods are celestial. I'm afraid even you cannot break her seal!"
Han Yan didn't believe Yun Fan had the ability. It wasn't that Yun Fan was too weak, but that the Nine Heavens Profound Maiden was too powerful; they were not on the same level at all!
"I'll try! Since the anomaly has been resolved, there's no harm in releasing you!"
This was Yun Fan's thought.
Han Yan said gratefully, "If Young Master can release me, from now on, Young Master will be my new master!"
"I don't have that hobby!"
Yun Fan said, "You were a bit reckless this time. You shouldn't have gone against my will without my knowledge!"
Han Yan apologized, "I just felt that I wasn't worthy of Young Master, and I knew you might not agree if I told you directly, so I resorted to this method. I hope Young Master won't be angry!"
In fact, she had misunderstood Yun Fan. If she had spoken directly, even though Yun Fan was a gentleman who remained unmoved by temptation, he would have reluctantly agreed to save someone. This way, Yun Fan didn't even get the slightest experience.
"Alright, let's not dwell on the past!"
Yun Fan said, "Take me to where the seal is. Let me see if I can break it!"
"Young Master, please follow me!"
Han Yan led Yun Fan to the depths of the blessed land, where they discovered a plum blossom tree blooming vibrantly.
Even from a distance, Yun Fan could smell a fragrant scent, identical to Han Yan's.
"This is my true form!"
Han Yan said shyly to Yun Fan.
Yun Fan leaned closer and saw that there were indeed several seals on this plum blossom tree.
These seals were very powerful. No wonder Han Yan couldn't break them. If it were someone else, even an Emperor-level cultivator, they wouldn't be able to break these seals.
However, for Yun Fan, it wasn't a difficult task because he possessed the Demonic Devouring Power. If he couldn't break them, he could simply devour them.
"I'm going to start breaking the seal. The process might be a bit painful, so you'll need to endure it!"
Yun Fan warned Han Yan.
Han Yan quickly said, "As long as I can escape, I will endure it!"
"Good!"
After communicating, Yun Fan directly activated his devouring power and began to break the seals. Although these seals surpassed the Emperor level, they were mere child's play to Yun Fan. Under the consumption of his demonic power, the seals were rapidly devoured.
Of course, during this process, the devouring power touched Han Yan's true form, causing her immense pain. She could only grit her teeth and endure.
After an unknown amount of time, Yun Fan finally devoured the last seal.
Instantly, the plum blossom tree and Han Yan disappeared.
As Yun Fan stood there in a daze, a brilliant light shone from above, and Han Yan emerged from the radiance.
Upon seeing Han Yan in this state, Yun Fan suddenly had a bad premonition.
Because the current Han Yan was no longer gentle and elegant but exuded a seductive and charming aura, completely different from the previous Han Yan.
Furthermore, the power emanating from Han Yan made Yun Fan feel suffocated. He seemed to realize he had been tricked.
Could someone who was sealed by his Senior Sister be weak? The seals alone indicated Han Yan's formidable strength; otherwise, such terrifying seals wouldn't have been used to contain her.
Yun Fan cursed himself for being an idiot. Now, all he could do was pray that Han Yan wouldn't cause any trouble, as the consequences would be unimaginable.
"Congratulations on breaking the seal!"
Yun Fan said, feigning politeness.
But as soon as he finished speaking, he was sent flying by a palm strike from Han Yan.
"Pfft!"
Yun Fan spat out a mouthful of blood. His previous injuries had not yet recovered, and now he had been struck by Han Yan again, which was a case of exacerbating his injuries!
Han Yan sneered, "You die after I escape!"
"You're turning on me!"
Yun Fan was angry. He couldn't even estimate Han Yan's current strength. No wonder she could suppress the Seventh Ancestor.
Her strength was no weaker than a weakened Seventh Ancestor.
Wasn't this a complete disaster?
Han Yan smiled playfully, "Turning on you? You're thinking too much. You took my purity, and now you want to live? I'm going to tear you to shreds!"
With that, she lunged at Yun Fan.
Yun Fan gasped, what did she mean he took her purity? He had no idea!
Of course, none of that mattered now.
What mattered was how he would face the current predicament.
There was no time for him to think further, so he decided to take a gamble.
In an instant, he charged at Han Yan.
Unfortunately, he was no match for Han Yan. Even at his peak, he might not have been able to fight her, let alone now.
After one exchange, Yun Fan was defeated and struck to the ground by Han Yan, severely wounded.
Before he could even react, Han Yan waved her hand casually, and he lost control of his body, flying towards her.
The next moment, Han Yan grabbed him by the neck.
Yun Fan felt that he was not far from death.
Han Yan said coldly, "Don't worry, you won't die so easily. I will grind your bones to dust to vent my hatred!"
With that, she began to torment Yun Fan.
Yun Fan was almost scared to death. At this moment, he felt that she was more devilish than the devil.
Just as he thought he was doomed, a refined voice sounded.
"Sister, you can't kill him! He saved us!"
"Silence!"
At this moment, Yun Fan saw a strange phenomenon: Han Yan was talking to herself, and that refined voice was none other than the previous Han Yan!
What in the world was going on?
"Sister, I won't let you kill him!"
"If you stop me again, don't blame me for being impolite!"
At this moment, Han Yan was fighting with herself. Yun Fan seized the opportunity to escape. He finally sorted out his thoughts: Han Yan was a dual-soul symbiote!
"Young Master, run quickly!"
