Time flies, and two days have passed in the blink of an eye.
For the past two days, Zhou Xingdou has been staying in Li Xiuru's boudoir, giving Liu Yanran pointers whenever he has free time. Although he hasn't helped Liu Yanran break through to the God King level, he has made her cultivation more solid.
He also took out a tonifying medicine to replenish Liu Yanran's weak foundation.
After all, Liu Yanran has demonstrated her value beyond what she has shown now, so Zhou Xingdou would certainly not allow her to cut off her future path of cultivation.
Moreover, if Liu Yanran matures one day, Zhou Xingdou will have earned back his principal and interest.
Of course, he spent most of the last two days having in-depth conversations with Li Xiuru, and Zhou Xingdou also told Li Xiuru that Liu Jiu had died.
However, Li Xiuru showed no sadness at her ex-husband's death; on the contrary, she was overjoyed, even more so than during the Lunar New Year.
She even said it was good that Liu Jiu died, so that she could be with Zhou Xingdou forever, and she became even more eager and unrestrained in trying to please Zhou Xingdou.
Zhou Xingdou naturally wouldn't forget the important matter, after all, Lin Fan was the top priority. It wasn't in Zhou Xingdou's nature to indulge in pleasure and forget about hatred.
The Liu family has now set up eighteen array plates, and all the Liu family members are preparing for the arrival of the three-year agreement.
So early this morning, Stephen Chow left the gentle embrace of Princess Iron Fan and Li Xiuru.
Because the long-lost You Ji had used the communication stone to send a message to him, Lin Fan had already contacted her yesterday, hoping that You Ji could protect Lin Fan's three-year promise.
Liu Yanran also stepped out of her room early, exiting her cultivation state. Her aura reached its peak as she polished the divine sword that Zhou Xingdou had rewarded her with.
Everything was ready, just waiting for Lin Fan to walk right into the trap.
Meanwhile, Lin Fan had prepared everything at the inn. He had been preparing for this day for three years, all for the sake of wiping away the humiliation of three years ago.
"Liu Yanran! From this day forward, you will regret the decision you made three years ago for the rest of your life!"
As he spoke, a ruthless glint flashed in Lin Fan's eyes. He not only wanted to defeat Liu Yanran, but also to torment the woman who had made him lose face in Lingyin City three years ago!
But when he looked at Qiu Yu, who was wearing a brocade dress, the ruthlessness in Lin Fan's eyes faded, even though it had been some time since he had rescued Qiu Yu from the auction.
But during these ten days, Qiu Yu was unusually indifferent to him, and even showed great resistance to his approach.
Lin Fan assumed that Qiu Yu had been stimulated at the auction that day, and his guilt towards Qiu Yu deepened.
After all, he also blamed himself for not protecting the woman he loved. Some wounds need time to heal, and Lin Fan could wait.
After Lin Fan finished tidying everything up, he looked at Qiu Yu with affection and said with some reluctance:
"Qiuyu, I'm leaving. We'll return to Xuantian Dao Sect once this matter is resolved."
He wasn't sure if there was any danger going to the Liu family this time, after all, in Lin Fan's eyes, You Ji might not be reliable either.
But Lin Fan really didn't have a better candidate right now. He had thought about contacting Zhou Xingdou, but when he remembered that the second-generation rich kid had only given him a little over a million high-grade spirit stones, causing him to fall out with his ancestor, a surge of hatred welled up in his heart.
Therefore, there are still some risks in this three-year agreement. Qiuyu is too weak and easily injured, so it is safer to leave Qiuyu here.
After all, Lin Fan didn't know if there would be an ambush today. Although he hadn't heard any news about the Supreme Remnant Soul Jade Pendant and no one had issued a warrant for his arrest, Lin Fan still had to be on guard.
If there is indeed an ambush today, Lin Fan will immediately use the Great Teleportation Talisman to teleport back here and take Qiu Yu far away.
This is also why Lin Fan didn't tell You Ji where he was, but instead asked her to wait for him in Lingguang City.
But he believed that the scales of fate would tip in his favor, and that he, Lin Fan, could not possibly lose.
From this day forward, Lin Fan will surely soar to the sky, and from now on, the sky will be high and the sea will be wide, and Zhou Xingdou, You Ji, and Liu Yanran will all kneel before him in worship!
But Qiu Yu, unusually, spoke to Lin Fan at this moment:
May you rest in peace.
Lin Fan was overjoyed, unaware of the deeper meaning in Qiu Yu's words. Instead, he looked at Qiu Yu with a happy expression and said affectionately:
"Yes, I will. I'll be back."
Little did she know that after he left, Qiu Yu immediately found a trash can and vomited, her disgust and revulsion making no attempt to hide it.
"You beast, you've disgusted me for so many days, and now this day has finally come. I hope you die a clean death and stop disgusting people!"
Spending these past few days with Lin Fan has made her want to die. If it weren't for the fact that it was all Zhou Xingdou's mission, she would have preferred to die right here.
Even though there was no physical contact between them, just being in the same room with Lin Fan made her feel like her eyes were being tainted.
Lin Fan was completely unaware of all this. At that moment, he was still fantasizing about defeating Liu Yan and then living happily ever after with Qiu Yu, achieving the ultimate existence.
At the Liu family's location, Zhou Xingdou and Princess Iron Fan had already hidden themselves, and Liu Yanran's saintly master had finally appeared.
Unfortunately, this saint was not a stunning beauty. On the contrary, she was very old and dressed very simply. If you didn't look closely, you would think she was just an ordinary old woman.
Moreover, there was an aura of imperceptible decline emanating from this old woman, an aura that only appears on people nearing the end of their lives.
That holy might, which should have been at its zenith, was somewhat weak, fluctuating wildly, rising and falling between the realm of sainthood and the peak of sainthood, making it extremely unstable.
This also made Zhou Xingdou realize why his master, Liu Yanran, rarely appeared anymore. A saint in this condition could be on the verge of death at any moment, and fighting with others would only accelerate the loss of his life force.
Zhou Xingdou even felt that killing the old woman would not be difficult for him; perhaps a single strike with the Spear of the Underworld would be enough to sever her life force.
This state of the saint also made Zhou Xingdou abandon his plan to take him as a slave and make him guard the gate of Yougu, after all, he was not running a nursing home.
However, the Liu family members treated the old saint with great respect. After all, they were cultivators with limited vision and could not possibly see that the old woman was dying.
Only Li Xiuru, who had now broken through to the God King realm, noticed the unusual nature of Liu Yanran's master, but she didn't say much, and still expressed her gratitude:
"We are deeply grateful for your special visit today, senior."
The old woman, her body hunched over, coughed a few times and then chuckled:
"Haha, as Yanran's master, how could I be absent today?"
But upon seeing Liu Yan, a look of shock appeared in the old woman's cloudy eyes.
Because Liu Yanran's body was surging with the powerful energy of a true god.
The old woman couldn't help but rub her eyes, looking at Liu Yanran in disbelief, even feeling that she was getting senile.
But no matter how much she rubbed her eyes, the power emanating from Liu Yanran remained extremely solid and surging, seemingly genuine.
