Jaw-Dropping Son-in-Law

The cold wind sent the fallen green leaves up to the sky.

The crowd looked suspiciously at the holy and noble woman before them. For some reason, those

present heard a strong sense of resentment and longing from the words of Moon God.

Even from a distance. King Folo could not help but feel a bad premonition.

“impossible...” he muttered to himself while shaking his head. “I must have overthought. Being of the

realm of the gods, Moon God is strong, extraordinary, and refined after having her earthly desires cut

off long ago. Furthermore, Chu Tianfan is but a child who has emerged in recent years compared to

Moon God, who is a Supreme of no equal. The difference between them is too great. It is impossible.”

Haibu and Bapei looked at King Folo in confusion, not knowing what the latter was muttering about.

“It seems like Moon God is out for Chu Tianfan's blood,” Haibu said in a low voice. “She's using the

women to force his appearance.”

The whole world fell silent as they gazed expectantly in the direction Moon God was looking at and

found no one.

Junie wiped the trickle of blood from the corner of her mouth and gazed fearlessly at Moon God. “Stop

wasting your time. I've already told you we don't know Chu Tianfan at all. Even if you scream or kill us,

he won't appear.”

“Is that so? If that's the case, there would be no reason to keep you in the world.”

Moon God's words were as cold as ice. The long sword in her hand was raised and slashed at Junie's

throat.

“Junie!” Noa cried with tears in her eyes.

“No!” The disciples of the Elysian Faction disciple were even more shocked.

In the distance, King Folo and the others shook their heads and sighed.

They were thinking about how Junie had ascended to the position of sect leader just a few days before

with Ye Fan's help and how glorious it was. After a reign lasting only several days, she would meet her

end.

King Folo showed a look of pity. “One must be willing to bear the weight of one's crown. Though

spirited, this girl does not have the ability to lead a sect. Her demise had been set in stone from the

start. Chu Tianfan was the one to push her to the throne. Though it had seemed good for her, it turned

out to be the cause of her demise. Chu Tianfan is the only one to be blamed for this girl's misfortune.”

Just when everybody thought that Junie was going to succumb beneath the sword, a red glow

suddenly flashed from the distant horizon. It streaked across the sky like fire.

With a deafening clang, it collided into the long sword in Moon God's hand and sent its blade down into

the ground.

“Scarlet Flame!”

Junie was startled at the sight of the sword while Noa squealed with joy.

King Folo and his companions were visibly stunned as well. As one, they retreated further into the

surrounding vegetation as they knew that he had arrived.

The bitter wind blew again sending the leaves fluttering and the sand flying wildly.

Suddenly, a thin figure appeared noiselessly where heaven and the earth met.

He had a handsome face. His thin body was upright like a spear. With the resolute tread of the dragon

stepping over Eastsea, he approached the crowd.

From the very first instance of his appearance, the figure was still far away. When the bystanders

blinked, he had already appeared several steps before Moon God.

“Ye Fan!”

“Chu Tianfan?”

“Is he really here?”

Some people, like Ye Fan at that moment, were born kings. Without needing to say a word, let alone

make a gesture, the eyes of the entire world heralded his arrival.

Noa whooped while Junie appeared shocked and worried.

The elders of the Elysian Faction, on the other hand, looked grim.

This devil who was once besieged by and killed the whole world has finally appeared! It's out of our

hands now!

“Two years ago,” King Folo said gravely as the trio gaped at Ye Fan, “Chu Yuan, the head of Chu Sect,

destroyed you on the shore of Eastsea. Although you'd managed to escape by luck then, another god-

realm warrior has come for your blood today. Who knows if you'll have the same fortune to escape as

you did that year?”

Gazing at the man from a distance, they tried to guess Ye Fan's fate by weighing his chances.

One is the strongest fighter in the Sky Ranking, while the other is a god-realm warrior. The two

combatants before us would demonstrate a battle that is unprecedented in the eyes of the world.

King Folo and the two were brimming with excitement, to say the least.

For Supremes such as themselves, the most exciting thing they could witness was a battle between

fighters more powerful than themselves.

However, King Folo and his companions did not know that the intensity of Ye Fan and Moon God's

emotions was no less than theirs.

When Ye Fan appeared, Moon God had forgotten all about Noa and Junie. Her entire being was held

to attention by the man who had disappeared from her life for two whole years.

For a long time, Ye Fan and Moon God just stood staring at each other without exchanging a word. The

silence between them spoke volumes.

“Hey, why aren't you fighting? What are you doing just standing there?”

After several minutes had passed, the battle that King Folo and the others thought was about to come

did not happen. The trio gazed anxiously at the silent scene before them.

“I understand now!” Haibu exclaimed suddenly as he slapped his thigh. “They are fighting each other

with their spiritual power! I have once read from ancient books that real Supremes, in addition to

possessing extraordinary martial power, are also competent at spiritual combat. They are capable of

killing without moving a muscle! As soon as the intent materializes, their prey would already have lost

their soul. Look at them standing so still without taking their eyes off each other. They must be engaged

in an intense mental battle!”

Bapei nodded, thinking it made sense.

Only King Folo remained unconvinced. Doubting Haibu's theory very much, he felt that something else

was amiss.

Could that really be the case? That they are really doing battle with their minds?

The silence ensued interminably.

Ye Fan opened his mouth several times to call out the long-lost name. Even when the words came, he

could not utter them at all.

Two years had been a long enough time for familiarity to become a luxury of the past.

Ye Fan could not bring himself to say the name that used to come so easily to his lips.

When the silence was eventually broken, he did not call out her name. “Long time, no see,” he said

stiffly instead.

A familiar voice and a familiar face.

The words fell into his opponent's heart like the key to a floodgate. The suppressed emotions hidden in

her heart for many years poured out of her at the sound of his voice.

Finally, Moon God moved. She rushed toward Ye Fan in a mad dash.

“The fight's starting, King Folo!” Haibu shouted excitedly. “The battle of the gods is a once-in-a-lifetime

event. Keep your eyes peeled, boys. Such a battle is bound to benefit our cultivation greatly!”

King Folo and Bapei tensed up at their comrade's shout as they nervously awaited the battle.

The elders of the Elysian Faction also realized that war was imminent.

“Take cover!” they yelled as they scrambled to safety.

Gods are doing battle here. Casualties will occur if we get too close.

Within minutes, disciples of the Elysian Faction and the guards of the Vias family fled in all directions in

their panic to place themselves at a safe distance.

Only Noa and Junie gazed at Ye Fan anxiously.

“Be careful, Ye Fan!” Noa cried at the sight of the armed Moon God arriving inches from Ye Fan, while

Junie made to get up to aid him. “Get out of the way!”

Just when the crowd steeled themselves for the destructive battle about to break out, Moon God cast

her long sword aside before throwing herself into Ye Fan's arms under the shocked gaze of the

bystanders.

“Master,” she sobbed, longing and nostalgia ringing in every syllable. “I've missed you so much.”

Her sadness also penetrated the hearts of everyone present.

Bapei nodded, thinking it made sense.

Only King Folo remained unconvinced. Doubting Haibu's theory very much, he felt that something else

was amiss.
