At this moment, Shui Xian arrived at her master's seclusion.
A person spoke with Shui Xian from behind a gauze curtain; she was Chi Cheng, the Immortal Lord of the Immortal Clan.
Upon seeing Shui Xian, she asked, "Disciple, weren't you supervising the base? Why have you returned?"
Shui Xian then recounted the events at the base to Chi Cheng, feeling immense confusion as to why the Immortal Clan would act in such a manner.
After all, such methods were exceedingly dark, absolutely not something a noble race like the Immortal Clan should engage in.
Unexpectedly, Chi Cheng replied, "I thought it was something major, but it's just such a trivial matter!"
"Trivial matter?"
Shui Xian was perplexed.
"A great achievement is built upon the bones of countless dead. You wouldn't misunderstand this principle, would you!"
Chi Cheng stated, "As long as our Immortal Clan's great endeavor can be accomplished, what is this small sacrifice!"
Her words left Shui Xian stunned on the spot; she never imagined her master would have such plans.
"Let alone our Immortal Clan, even if it were them, after their rise, they would inevitably sacrifice weaker beings! Don't you understand this principle?"
Chi Cheng's speech completely overturned Shui Xian's worldview.
At this, Chi Cheng said, "Don't overthink it. The Immortal Clan's great endeavor is within reach, so these are not matters for you to consider! Return tomorrow!"
Shui Xian didn't know how to respond. Such cold-bloodedness and heartlessness made her deeply uncomfortable.
Helplessly, she retreated, as her master had already given her the order to leave.
However, she still harbored doubts about this matter.
...
In the place where Shui Xian resided, Yun Fan was meditating, attempting to break through by leveraging the Primordial Immortal Power of the Immortal Clan.
But he unexpectedly found himself just a little short.
There was no way around it; breaking through to the third realm of the Saint Emperor was incredibly difficult, not something that could be achieved by talent and effort alone.
At this level, luck might even play a significant role.
Therefore, even though he possessed the strength for a breakthrough to the third realm, he could only remain at the peak of the second realm for now.
The next step might require a long process, though with good luck, a breakthrough could happen in a short period.
He estimated that Shui Xian wouldn't return anytime soon.
In fact, his arrival at the Immortal Clan was merely an accident. The Immortal Clan was using this method to restore the immortal spiritual energy of the Primordial Immortal Realm.
As long as he wasn't the target, he wouldn't interfere. Although the Immortal Clan was indeed somewhat inhumane in this regard.
But he wasn't a savior; he couldn't save so many people, and moreover, these people had no relation to him whatsoever.
The reason he desperately resisted the Immortal Dao Curse was not because he wanted to be a savior, but primarily because the arrival of the Immortal Dao Curse would threaten his family and friends. It was that simple.
Therefore, at this point, he actually intended to leave the Immortal Clan, preferably to make arrangements beforehand. In case the Immortal Dao Curse descended, and these three forces were wiped out, they would still have a plan.
After all, in Yun Fan's view, communicating with the Primordial Immortal Realm would only increase the risk of the Immortal Dao Curse descending.
However, at this very moment, a figure quietly appeared. She was another beauty who was not inferior to Shui Xian.
It couldn't be helped; it wasn't that beauties were overly abundant in the Great Thousand World, but rather because the Immortal Clan itself was a race born of beauties.
And he was currently at the main camp of the Immortal Clan, so seeing a few beauties was entirely normal in his opinion.
Indeed, she was Chun Xian.
She was filled with curiosity about the man Shui Xian had brought back, so she immediately came to take a look.
But upon seeing Yun Fan, she discovered that besides his handsome appearance, Yun Fan was otherwise unremarkable.
She felt a slight disappointment.
However, since she had come, she decided to investigate further.
"Fairy, hello!"
Yun Fan greeted her politely. There was no other way; he was on their territory, so he had to act with discretion.
"Such a sweet mouth!"
Chun Xian gave Yun Fan a charming smile, so captivating that Yun Fan instantly shivered. That woman's gaze was too alluring.
Just that one seductive glance had almost stolen his soul.
At this, she asked Yun Fan, "What is your name, and what is your relationship with my junior sister Shui Xian?"
Yun Fan replied truthfully, "My name is Yun Fan, and I have no relation to her!"
"I don't believe you!"
Chun Xian laughed, "If there's no relation, she wouldn't have brought you here. There must be some unspeakable secret between you!"
"Then you've truly misunderstood!"
Yun Fan said, "If you don't believe me, wait until she returns and ask her yourself!"
However, Chun Xian retorted, "Confess honestly, is she planning to use you to break through the Tribulation of the Mortal World?"
"What do you mean by the Tribulation of the Mortal World?"
Yun Fan asked in confusion.
Chun Xian explained, "In our Immortal Clan, before breaking through to Saint Sovereign, one must undergo the Tribulation of the Mortal World to become an Immortal Venerable!"
Such a complicated process. Now Yun Fan finally understood why people didn't approve of the system created by the Immortal Clan; it was simply too troublesome.
To go through some Tribulation of the Mortal World, wasn't that just inviting suffering?
No wonder the ancestor of the War God Clan had sought to perfect the cultivation system and simplify it.
If it were him, he too would be unable to accept such a convoluted cultivation system.
Therefore, the current cultivation system, although created by the Immortal Clan, had been refined by the War God Clan.
All the useless realms were eliminated.
In Yun Fan's opinion, this was hardly a good realm, but he didn't want to express too much at this moment.
After all, he wasn't familiar with the Immortal Clan. He hoped that after this incident, Shui Xian would let him leave.
He certainly didn't want to be a prisoner.
At this, Chun Xian said, "The simplest way to overcome the Tribulation of the Mortal World is to find a man to go through it with. Therefore, I have every reason to believe that you are that person!"
Yun Fan found her words rather amusing.
He said to Chun Xian, "Please stop guessing. Shui Xian and I have no such relationship! At most, we are just acquaintances!"
"Is that so?"
Chun Xian replied, "Whether you are that kind of person or not will be determined by my examination!"
"How will you examine?"
Yun Fan asked in confusion.
In the next moment, Chun Xian suddenly released her Tribulation of the Mortal World, enveloping Yun Fan.
If the Tribulation of the Mortal World strongly repelled Yun Fan, it would mean Yun Fan was completely unqualified.
If the Tribulation of the Mortal World only slightly repelled Yun Fan, it would mean Yun Fan was barely qualified.
If the Tribulation of the Mortal World did not repel Yun Fan, then Yun Fan would be absolutely qualified.
Unfortunately, she had searched for a long time without finding such a person.
Therefore, at this moment, she was merely trying her luck.
Unexpectedly, the instant the Tribulation of the Mortal World fell upon Yun Fan, his demeanor underwent a significant change.
The next moment, Chun Xian was stunned.
Because it was no longer a matter of the Tribulation of the Mortal World not repelling Yun Fan; it was actively embracing him, even wanting to claim him.
Such intense desire was completely beyond Chun Xian's expectations.
In the entire history of the Immortal Clan, such a phenomenon had never occurred, so Chun Xian's shock was understandable.
Yun Fan, unaware of what was happening, didn't know what was going on. Neither of them knew that the probing just now had been discovered.
At this, Chun Xian charmingly asked Yun Fan, "Young master, are you willing to be the object of my Tribulation of the Mortal World?"
"I am not willing!"
Yun Fan replied directly. What a joke, she actually took him for someone so easily swayed.
He wasn't that kind of casual man, and even the Immortal Clan was no exception. Of course, when he was casual, he might not even be human.
Hearing this, Chun Xian seemed somewhat surprised. She hadn't expected Yun Fan to refuse her.
At this, she tempted him, "As long as you agree, I will serve you comfortably!"
Yun Fan was truly speechless. Was he that kind of casual person? What a joke.
However, before he could refuse again, a cold voice interjected.
"You truly have no shame, finding men even at my residence!"
At this moment, Shui Xian descended. Since she had been outside, she had naturally sensed Chun Xian's probing of Yun Fan.
Therefore, at this moment, she said without reservation, "Scram! You are not welcome here!"
"Oh!"
Chun Xian said disdainfully, "I just saw that you were incapable, so I wanted to take care of your man. Do you have any objections?"
"Of course, I have objections!"
Shui Xian said coldly, "Who do you think you are, daring to covet the man I've claimed!"
However, Chun Xian retorted unceremoniously, "It's too soon to say that. I can only tell you, your man is half mine! We'll see if you don't believe me!"
"You wish!"
Shui Xian said coldly.
The two women did not continue to confront each other. Clearly, at this moment, neither had any interest in prolonging the confrontation.
Because it was not yet the time for harvest. They had to thoroughly consolidate the Tribulation of the Mortal World before the harvest to avoid any unforeseen circumstances.
At this moment, Chun Xian said to Yun Fan, "Young master, I shall take my leave for now. I will come to find you another day. You must wait for me!"
With that, she gave Yun Fan a seductive wink.
Completely unguarded, Yun Fan instantly fell under her spell.
If Shui Xian hadn't placed a hand on Yun Fan's shoulder, he would likely have fallen completely.
At this, Shui Xian said to Yun Fan, "Don't be infatuated. This person is a disaster; stay away from her and have no dealings with her!"
"Understood!"
Yun Fan nodded, then asked Shui Xian, "Can you let me go now?"
"Go?"
Shui Xian asked in confusion, "Where are you going?"
"Of course, to do what I need to do!"
Yun Fan said, "I'm very busy, so I won't disturb you Immortal Clan any longer!"
Unexpectedly, Shui Xian replied, "From now on, without my permission, you are not allowed to go anywhere. Tomorrow, you will come with me to the base!"
Yun Fan was speechless at her words. This woman really took herself too seriously. He would leave sooner or later.
Once he left the Immortal Clan, escaping wouldn't be an issue, but he couldn't reveal his intentions now.
At this, Shui Xian said to him, "I've already discussed this with my master, but she told me that those who achieve great things are not bound by minor details!"
Upon hearing this, Yun Fan realized that the Lord of the Immortal Clan was also a formidable character.
However, this had nothing to do with him. What mattered now was breaking through to the third realm, and then he wouldn't care about anything else.
At this, Shui Xian said, "That's settled. We leave together tomorrow!"
At this moment, she also began a brief period of seclusion. The reason for her seclusion was simple: to strengthen her Tribulation of the Mortal World.
However, she didn't share her intentions with Yun Fan.
"Damn it, they're all treating me like prey. This won't do; I absolutely will not tolerate this kind of treatment!"
Yun Fan was furious. If it weren't for his current limitations in strength, he would have overturned the three major forces long ago.
However, he had to keep a low profile at this moment.
After careful consideration, he realized that staying by Shui Xian's side would yield him no benefits.
The so-called benefit was breaking through to the third realm. Without any advantages, he decided to slip away once they reached the base.
Don't ask why he wasn't escaping now.
Sorry, escaping now was too risky.
Therefore, in Yun Fan's opinion, he could only leave when there was no risk.
However, as night fell, a black-clad figure suddenly broke in. Just as Yun Fan was about to ask what they were doing there,
the next moment, the intruder directly knocked him unconscious and took him away.
Yes, it was that simple and brutal. To think that he, a peak Saint Emperor of the second realm, was...
Yun Fan felt incredibly wronged before he fainted. When did someone of his caliber get knocked out so casually?
It wasn't that the situation was too child's play, but rather because the attacker's strength far surpassed his own.
"Little man, you won't escape my grasp!"
When Yun Fan woke up again, he found himself lying in a woman's private chambers.
The kidnapper was none other than Chun Xian.
Chun Xian said to Yun Fan, "Young master, I am very sorry for inviting you here in this manner, but I was left with no choice! It's just that Shui Xian wants to claim you!"
Hearing this, Yun Fan was truly speechless. Wasn't Chun Xian also trying to claim him?
Yun Fan said, "Fairy, please show some self-respect!"
"Hahahaha!"
Chun Xian laughed wildly, "I would show self-respect to others, but not to you. Who asked you to be so tempting!"
Yun Fan felt a sense of foreboding. What should he do?
Chun Xian had initially intended to consolidate her Tribulation of the Mortal World first. But after careful consideration, she decided to strike first.
If Yun Fan's Dao fruit were to be plucked by Shui Xian first, then for the next hundred years, Yun Fan would be filled with Shui Xian's Tribulation of the Mortal World.
She would then have to wait at least a hundred years. That's why she decided to strike first.
Fortunately, Shui Xian lacked her boldness and was likely still observing. Otherwise, she would be at a disadvantage.
Therefore, tonight, she resolved to capture Yun Fan.
At this, Yun Fan said, "Fairy, this is rather ungentlemanly of you. You should have asked if I agreed first!"
Unexpectedly, Chun Xian replied, "Young master, please stop resisting. I can tell you that you won't be able to leave tonight, because tonight, you belong only to me!"
"What?"
Yun Fan was shocked by Chun Xian's domineering attitude. If this were on Earth, she would definitely be a classic overbearing CEO.
It seemed he couldn't avoid it tonight. There was nothing he could do. Since he couldn't resist, he might as well enjoy it.
There were no insurmountable obstacles in life.
"Come on! Be gentle with me!"
Yun Fan said, closing his eyes.
Seeing Yun Fan's compliance, Chun Xian was extremely pleased. Yes, she needed a man like this who took initiative, as it would yield better results.
"Little man, I'm coming then!"
Chun Xian prepared to take Yun Fan, but the next moment, her vision went black, and she collapsed onto the bed.
"What's going on?"
Yun Fan was dumbfounded. This scene truly came out of nowhere.
Before he could figure out what was happening, he directly fainted. Yes, tonight, he had been knocked unconscious for the second time.
Since arriving in the Great Thousand World, although he had suffered many grievances, to be knocked unconscious so inexplicably...
Yun Fan felt extremely helpless.
...
When Chun Xian woke up, she discovered that her body was bound, and all her power had been sealed.
The perpetrator was none other than Shui Xian.
"Did you ambush me?"
To Chun Xian's question, Shui Xian replied directly, "Sorry, I have no interest in ambushing you!"
"Then why are you restraining me?"
Chun Xian was furious. After all, they were sisters! Such a close relationship, and yet she had laid hands on her.
Shui Xian said disdainfully, "Because you kidnapped him. Hand over the person, and I'll spare your life, otherwise, you're dead!"
At this moment, Shui Xian was extremely angry. She hadn't expected Chun Xian to act so unethically and strike so quickly.
So quickly that she hadn't even had time to prepare. Now Yun Fan's whereabouts were unknown; he was likely hidden by Chun Xian.
If something had already happened, it would be very bad. At least for the next hundred years, she wouldn't be able to make a move.
Therefore, at this moment, she deeply resented Chun Xian. If she had the ability, she should have found him herself! Why steal her reward?
So, regardless of the outcome today, she would thoroughly deal with this annoying woman.
Chun Xian felt extremely aggrieved, as she was also a victim.
At this, she quickly said, "I did tie him up, but before I could even enjoy him, someone else intervened!"
"Even now, you dare to lie to me?"
Shui Xian said coldly, "Do you think I'll believe your nonsense? If you don't hand over the person, I'll take you to my master to be punished!"
Upon hearing this, Chun Xian became even more depressed. No matter how she explained, Shui Xian wouldn't believe her. What could she do?
Finally, she said to Shui Xian, "Junior Sister, perhaps you haven't realized the seriousness of the situation!"
"How serious?"
Shui Xian asked coldly. Was this woman trying to shift the blame at such a time?
Chun Xian quickly said, "It's obvious that it's not just you and I who have designs on him. Now he's been kidnapped by someone else. If you don't let me go, and we search for him together, he might become someone else's Dao fruit!"
Shui Xian's eyes flickered with doubt at her words. Could it be that what Chun Xian said was true?
Therefore, she immediately asked Chun Xian, "Are you sure you're not lying to me?"
"Can I swear on it?"
Chun Xian said decisively, "If I'm lying to you, may lightning strike me and may I die a terrible death!"
Even Shui Xian was perplexed by this statement.
"Tell me exactly what happened. Dare to hide even a single word, and don't blame me for being impolite!"
Shui Xian threatened her.
Chun Xian quickly explained, "After I kidnapped him, I was about to make my move, but before I could succeed, I was ambushed. When I woke up, you were here!"
Shui Xian was shocked by this explanation. She hadn't expected things to turn out this way.
"Serves you right! Who told you to try and get something for nothing?"
Shui Xian scorned her, deeply disappointed in her senior sister's character.
"Alright, Junior Sister. If we don't go find him now, someone else will get something for nothing!"
Chun Xian urged.
Helplessly, Shui Xian could only release Chun Xian first, then said to her, "After we find him, you are not allowed to have designs on him!"
"That won't do!"
Chun Xian said, "For fairness, we'll have a duel then. Only the victor gets to enjoy him first, and the loser will wait for a hundred years, how about that?"
A hundred years, in their eyes, was just the blink of an eye. No, it wasn't even that long.
A single period of seclusion would last over a hundred years.
At this, Shui Xian nodded, "Agreed!"
At this moment, both women began to doubt their own lives. Who exactly was targeting Yun Fan?
...
When Yun Fan woke from his unconsciousness, he found himself lying in a peculiar world. This peculiar world should belong to a small world.
Indeed, it was a small world created by a martial artist himself. Although it was also a small world, it was in no way comparable to the small worlds on Earth.
This was a fantasy world, a world of pure white and jade. As he rose from a sea of pink flowers, he realized how vast this small world was. It seemed the creator of this small world must have had a girlish heart.
As expected, at this moment, a figure appeared before Yun Fan.
It was an eighteen-year-old girl. Of course, she looked eighteen, but how old she actually was, Yun Fan had no idea.
After all, the higher one's cultivation, the more deceptive age could be. In fact, to a certain extent, once one's cultivation reached Saint King and above, age was merely a matter of time and not to be taken too seriously.
If one were to be serious, Yun Fan in this life alone was already hundreds of years old.
Did that mean he wasn't as young as the eighteen-year-old him? That was impossible.
But he had to admit that this girl was in the prime of her youth and exceptionally beautiful. Even calling her rare would be an insult.
Let's put it this way: among the many women Yun Fan knew, only one could rival her beauty, and that was Mu Qing Xian.
One could imagine how peerlessly beautiful this girl was.
Even more terrifyingly, Yun Fan couldn't sense her cultivation. She seemed to have no cultivation at all, appearing delicate and lovely.
At this, Yun Fan asked, "May I ask, Fairy, where is this place?"
"Fairy?"
The girl asked, "Husband, what are you talking about?"
"Hus... Husband?"
Yun Fan was instantly dumbfounded, staring at the girl in disbelief.
The girl quickly said, "Husband, you only got married to Fen Dai yesterday. How can you not remember me?"
Yun Fan thought carefully and confirmed he didn't know her. He quickly said, "Fairy, are you mistaken?"
He was certain he hadn't lost his memory and was perfectly normal. Therefore, at this moment, his heart was resolute.
Fen Dai, however, said, "How could I be mistaken! Husband, you got married yesterday, and after falling, you fainted. It's a pity I'm so frail and weak, so I could only accompany you in this sea of flowers. It's all my fault for making you accompany me to see the flowers on our wedding day!"
This was somewhat nonsensical.
Yun Fan knew that the other party must have an ulterior motive and was forcibly implanting memories into him.
But why would he compromise? So, he immediately said, "This is impossible. Stop pretending!"
"Husband, what is wrong with you?"
Fen Dai looked at Yun Fan with tears streaming down her face, appearing pitiful.
But Yun Fan was unmoved. Even though she was incredibly beautiful, he knew he had to be more cautious at such times. Was this a trap?
Therefore, he decided to take the initiative.
The next moment, he grabbed her by the neck, "Evil spirit, reveal yourself!"
But what happened next stunned Yun Fan. He was now like an ordinary person.
He, who was a Saint Emperor capable of traversing heaven and earth, omnipotent, who could destroy the universe with a flick of his finger...
To think that he was now just an ordinary person, incredibly ordinary.
This sudden change made Yun Fan uneasy.
"Speak, what did you do to me?"
Yun Fan questioned sternly.
Fen Dai, with tears streaming down her face, sobbed and said, "Husband, if you must kill me to vent your anger, then kill me!"
At this moment, Yun Fan was somewhat taken aback. If he really killed her, he wouldn't be able to leave this place.
Even more terrifyingly, he had no strength now, just like her, seemingly an ordinary person.
So, he finally let her go.
"Cough, cough, cough!"
Fen Dai let out a series of coughs.
But Yun Fan remained unmoved. Until the truth was revealed, he could still believe she was faking it.
And it looked like her acting was impeccable, something he couldn't detect.
Afterward, he walked ahead, wanting to explore and understand the situation.
The young girl followed closely behind, never leaving his side.
At this, Yun Fan arrived outside a thatched cottage.
"Hmm?"
The next moment, a familiar feeling surged into his memory. Yes, he realized that his previous memories were fading.
They were being replaced by another set of memories.
In these memories, he was merely a good-for-nothing scholar, indulging in drinking, gambling, and womanizing.
But because of this, he had squandered his family fortune and could only live in this thatched cottage.
And this girl was his wife, whom his parents had arranged for him before they passed away.
After his parents' death, the girl's family immediately regretted the engagement and refused to marry their daughter to such a useless scholar.
But the girl insisted on her decision and stubbornly married him. It could only be said that his family was too poor.
After the girl married him, even the wedding was rushed. On their wedding day, he had a sudden realization and decided to rebuild his family fortune.
After all, in this memory, his family had been the wealthiest in the local area. This made Yun Fan very speechless. He had squandered all his vast fortune. This did not fit his persona at all.
So, no matter how profound these memories were, Yun Fan couldn't internalize them. He swore that he was definitely not that kind of person.
After his realization, he asked the girl what her wish was, as he felt immense guilt for the perfunctory wedding.
Then the girl asked him to take her to see flowers, and so he took her to see flowers, and then he accidentally fell.
"This is..."
Yun Fan was completely stunned.
"Husband, are you hungry? I'll cook for you!"
Fen Dai's family was among the prominent families in the area, so she was a pampered young lady who didn't know how to cook.
Even cooking was clumsy.
At this moment, Yun Fan felt hunger pangs, so he said to the girl, "Let me do it instead!"
However, looking at the extremely simple, plain food in the house, Yun Fan was truly speechless.
This wasn't just a life of poverty; they were barely getting enough to eat.
Helplessly, he started a fire and cooked, making do with the girl.
At this, the girl said to Yun Fan, "Husband, there's nothing left to eat at home. I have a jade bracelet here, my only dowry. Take it and exchange it for some money to buy household necessities!"
With that, she reluctantly removed her bracelet and handed it to Yun Fan.
After all, when she married Yun Fan, her family had objected, so she had no dowry.
This bracelet had been with her since childhood, and now, for the sake of their livelihood, she had to sell it.
Yun Fan did not accept the bracelet and said to her, "It's alright, with me here, you won't go hungry!"
At this moment, Yun Fan decided to follow the memories and see who was playing tricks.
After all, his mind was in turmoil. To return to his former self, he had to understand the truth first.
Although the memories were constantly telling him that everything before him was real, in Yun Fan's opinion, this was impossible.
He had always believed himself to be an omnipotent being. Getting something to eat should have been a piece of cake.
But reality had slapped him hard. In the face of reality, he bowed his head. As an ordinary person, he found himself unable to do anything.
He really was a good-for-nothing scholar. It gave him the illusion that his previous life was just his own fantasy, and that the current him, battered by hardship and struggling for his next meal, was the true self.
Fortunately, he still recognized some wild vegetables and fruits, and with a little effort, they could manage.
He just didn't know how they would solve their problems tomorrow.
As evening approached, Fen Dai found a doctor to examine his condition.
The doctor examined his condition and, after hearing Fen Dai's description, shook his head helplessly.
"Is my illness very serious?"
Yun Fan asked in confusion.
The doctor said, "More than serious; it's incurable!"
"What?"
Fen Dai was shocked and stood there bewildered.
At this, the doctor continued, "Your illness is not an illness at all!"
"Then what is it?"
Yun Fan was also confused.
The doctor explained, "You are simply unwilling to face the setbacks and harshness of reality, and you imagine yourself to be omnipotent, living in your own world of fantasy. You need to wake up, Qin Lang! Consider everything you've imagined as a beautiful dream! There will come a time to wake up. If you continue to sink like this, you will be ruined sooner or later!"
"What?"
Upon hearing this, even Yun Fan's expression changed. He hadn't expected such a result. At this moment, even he couldn't distinguish between what was real.
He wasn't sure if his previous experiences were a dream or reality. Could it be that the name Yun Fan was just a fantasy he had created?
At this, the doctor said to Yun Fan, "With your wife's circumstances, what kind of husband couldn't she find? Yet she resolutely married you and lives this impoverished life with you. Even she hasn't given up hope on you, so you should not give up on yourself. Wake up soon, study diligently, and perhaps one day, you might find a decent job!"
What they didn't notice was that Yun Fan was already breaking out in a cold sweat, his heart filled with fear.
The two sets of memories overlapped, and he didn't know which was the truest self. Although he had always believed that Yun Fan was his original being,
at this moment, he felt that the latter was the truest self.
Finally, with a splitting headache,
"Husband!"
The girl quickly supported Yun Fan.
Yun Fan dared not think further.
At this, the doctor stood up and reminded Yun Fan, "Reality is cruel, but it also requires courage to face it. Continuous evasion will never be the ultimate solution!"
With that, he turned to leave.
"Doctor, I haven't paid you yet!"
With that, Fen Dai was about to use her bracelet to pay for Yun Fan's consultation fee.
But the doctor shook his head, "Forget it. I've treated too many illnesses for the Qin family before. I won't charge this time!"
"Alas! In truth, no illness is frightening. The most frightening is the illness of poverty!"
After he left, Yun Fan gradually calmed down.
At this, Fen Dai said to him, "Husband, don't think too much about it. No matter what, I will accompany you through it. One day, you will restore the Qin family's former glory. Even if you can't, living a life together is also quite good!"
Clearly, Fen Dai was devoted to Yun Fan as a person, not to his abilities. What abilities could he possibly have?
He had squandered the vast family fortune.
At this, Yun Fan was deeply moved.
"Wife, thank you for your unwavering loyalty. I will definitely not disappoint you!"
Yun Fan quickly promised.
"Husband, a simple life is also quite good!"
Fen Dai embraced Yun Fan.
At this moment, Yun Fan decided not to think too much. Thinking too much would only give him a bigger headache.
Even if this cruel reality was true, he at least had his beloved wife by his side. What difficulties couldn't be overcome?
That night, Yun Fan went into his simple study and found that the paper there was the cheapest grass paper.
Even more ironically, he had hung some poems he had written on the wall. Looking at them now, they were utterly unbearable. Sudan Novel Network
Could this be called poetry?
The more he looked, the more disgusted he felt, so Yun Fan quickly took down these poems and tore them up. This was too shameful!
Since fate had dictated this, he would bravely face reality from now on.
At this, Fen Dai came over.
She shyly said to Yun Fan, "Husband, I've prepared foot-washing water for you!"
"Good!"
Yun Fan nodded. Originally, Fen Dai wanted to help him wash his feet, but Yun Fan felt uncomfortable and washed them himself.
Afterward, the two of them went to bed.
However, until the full story was understood, he wouldn't act rashly. He let Fen Dai sleep on the bed while he made do with a makeshift bed on the floor.
It had to be said that the ground was cold and damp, and his ordinary physique couldn't withstand it, but for now, even if he couldn't endure it, he had to.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, he heard Fen Dai sobbing.
"What's wrong?"
Yun Fan asked.
"Husband, am I very ugly?"
Fen Dai asked tearfully.
"You're not ugly; you're the most beautiful woman in the world!"
Yun Fan couldn't help but praise her.
"Then why don't you share a room with me, Husband?"
Fen Dai countered, her eyes filled with endless grievances.
Yun Fan didn't know how to explain to her. He couldn't tell Fen Dai that until the truth was clear, he absolutely wouldn't harm her.
But after some thought, he decided to remain silent. If he said that, Fen Dai would surely think that his delusion hadn't subsided.
Helplessly, Yun Fan chose to compromise. This time, it wasn't because he feared suffering losses, but because he feared Fen Dai would suffer losses.
He then moved from the floor to the bed.
"Husband, please be gentle!"
Fen Dai was very shy, burying her head in Yun Fan's embrace. Her heart pounded uncontrollably, not daring to look at Yun Fan.
Finally, under the expectant gaze of the beauty, Yun Fan took that fateful step.
...
The next morning, upon waking, Yun Fan saw the faint traces of blood and prepared to bravely face the life ahead.
No matter how cruel the future life might be, Yun Fan would not be afraid. Whether it was real or not, he would first deal with the harsh reality.
However, at this moment, he saw Fen Dai standing outside the door. She was no longer the petite and pitiful figure from yesterday.
Instead, she exuded a majestic aura like a supreme empress. Judging by her presence alone, she was undoubtedly an extraordinary figure.
"Trouble!"
At this moment, Yun Fan finally realized that the previous situation was the facade. He was too young and had ultimately been tricked.
At this, Fen Dai, with her peerless beauty, turned around and asked Yun Fan with a playful smile, "Husband, did you enjoy yourself last night?"
Yun Fan's expression instantly turned to shock. "You, who are you?"
