Chapter 398: Chapter 397: As If Waking from a Dream
Ye Fan had no idea what happened next. So things didn’t require thought, only physical coordination. When it was all over, he found himself lying on the shore with Heather. His head was spinning; everything from the previous night felt like a dream, yet it was all too real.
Heather woke up and, acting on instinct, swung her palm. The blow sent Ye Fan tumbling into the pool, leaving him drenched and disheveled.
Looking at her own state, Heather scread and imdiately curled into a ball. Now that she was clear-headed, she found it hard to face her current situation as pain wracked her entire body.
Ye Fan was the most frustrated of all. He had no idea what was going on, only that he had suddenly been knocked into the pool. He was completely bewildered, but he couldn’t bla Heather.
He said to her, "That... I didn’t an for that to happen. I had no control over anything last night."
In truth, he hadn’t had any control; it was Heather who had been too impulsive. But what was done, was done.
"You... don’t co any closer!" Heather stamred in a panic.
"Alright, alright, I won’t co closer, okay?" Ye Fan quickly replied.
After all, he had always been the passive one, but now it looked as if he had started it all. What could he do? He was pretty desperate himself.
A streak of blood-red light flashed, and Heather disappeared.
Only then did Ye Fan dispiritedly climb ashore and find a set of clothes to put on.
An hour passed, but Heather still hadn’t appeared, and Ye Fan was running out of patience. By afternoon, he prepared to leave. It wasn’t that Heather was busy with other things; it seed she didn’t dare to see him or, rather, couldn’t bring herself to face him.
Ye Fan walked out of the Blood Castle.
Looking back toward the castle, he saw Heather standing atop it, watching him from a distance. He thought about going over to say hello, but in that mont, he chose silence, figuring it would only make them both more awkward.
He had anticipated this scene, which was why he had always rejected Heather before. This isn’t the outco I wanted. Perhaps last night was just a beautiful dream—one I can’t quite rember but will never be able to forget. A beautiful dream like that is destined to linger. Impulses are inevitable in life, especially for a passionate man like him.
Ye Fan swiftly vanished into the woods.
When Heather saw this, her heart ached with bitterness. She desperately wanted to rush over and collapse into Ye Fan’s arms, but for so reason, she felt a barrier between them.
She said toward the direction where he had disappeared, "Sooner or later, I will overco the fear in my heart! I will be brave enough to love, just like a human girl!"
Ye Fan walked out of the deep and forbidding forest, a place that mortals considered both terrifying and cursed, but this was the main stronghold of the Vampire Clan.
By the ti he reached the edge of the forest, it was already dark, and Ye Fan knew he wouldn’t make it back to the Divine Land that day. Just then, he saw several tents in the distance, surrounded by heavy guards, so he quietly crept closer.
Inside one of the tents were the Dark Night Demon Queen and Luo Yazhi. After they had escaped, the Dark Night Demon Queen had gathered her subordinates. They desperately wanted to rush in and rescue him, but they knew how terrifying the deep forest was. So, they decided to stand guard outside instead, planning to wait another two days in the hope that Ye Fan was safe. Since they couldn’t go in to save him, their only option was to wait here for his return.
"Sister, I’m so worried about Ye Fan," Luo Yazhi said.
"Worrying is useless," the Dark Night Demon Queen replied. "He traded himself for our freedom. I don’t know how he is now, but I have a feeling that the Bloodline Ancestor definitely won’t kill him." That night, as Heather had tornted Ye Fan, the attentive Dark Night Demon Queen had noticed a secret: Heather’s gaze toward Ye Fan was filled with a hint of intimacy. Therefore, she was willing to bet that Ye Fan was alive and well, or had perhaps already been captured to be soone’s husband. That was her theory.
"No, I have to charge in tomorrow!" Luo Yazhi declared. "Even if I can’t rescue him, I have to find out what happened to him!"
The Dark Night Demon Queen nodded. "Alright. If he hasn’t returned by tomorrow, I’ll go with you."
"Mm." The two won nodded, having co to an agreent.
Ye Fan smirked to himself. I’ve never been wrong about people. I’m devoted to my won, and they would never abandon . His first instinct was to reveal himself and shout, "Laozi is back!" But wouldn’t that be a little boring? He decided he wanted to make this reunion a bit more interesting.
With that in mind, he took out a black cloth and wrapped it around his face, completely hiding his features. He was a shaless man anyway.
The sudden appearance of a dark figure shocked the two won.
"Who’s there?" the Dark Night Demon Queen demanded.
Luo Yazhi also sprang to her feet, on guard.
Ye Fan, his face still covered, let out a creepy chuckle. "Deep in these ancient woods, two peerless beauties, all lonely with no one to keep them company... I just happen to be the man to fill the emptiness in your hearts."
It had to be said, when it ca to acting, Ye Fan’s skills were top-notch. Especially when playing a part that ca so naturally to him, his performance was simply flawless.
"Shaless scoundrel!" the two won snapped in unison.
Many Martial Artists ca to the edge of the great forest to train and witness its mystique, but none of them dared to venture too deep inside.
"Why waste words on him? Kill him!" Luo Yazhi shouted.
She charged forward, and the Dark Night Demon Queen, not to be outdone, attacked just as viciously.
Ye Fan was speechless. They’re so hot-tempered! Good thing they’re usually gentle and charming with , or I’d really be in trouble.
Still not ready to reveal himself, he decided to stretch the joke a little further. Though the two won were powerful, they were no match for him. He reached out, instantly neutralizing their attacks. Then, with one woman in each arm, he savored a sensation that only those who have experienced it could possibly understand.
The two won were stunned. They hadn’t expected this shaless scoundrel to be so powerful that he could shatter their attack in a single move and capture them both. The Dark Night Demon Queen was, after all, one of the top experts in the underworld.
"My two little beauties, co and warm my bed now," Ye Fan said with a lecherous grin.
He reached out to stroke the corners of their mouths.
Just then, the Dark Night Demon Queen saw her chance and struck Ye Fan in his most vital spot.
"UGH!"
Just as he was gloating, Ye Fan never imagined he would be plunged into a hell of his own making. The pain was utterly despair-inducing. Then, not to be outdone, Luo Yazhi followed up with a kick that sent him flying.
"Sister, beat him to death!"
"My thoughts exactly!" the Dark Night Demon Queen shouted.
In an instant, the two won were upon him, delivering a flurry of punches and kicks. It was a truly miserable scene. As the saying goes, "If you don’t court death, you won’t die," and Ye Fan had just proven it true.
"Wait, stop! It’s , your loving man!" Ye Fan wailed as he was pumled.
"He dares talk back? Hit him harder!" the two won snarled, their attacks growing even more ruthless.
"OUCH!" A punch from the Dark Night Demon Queen landed squarely on Ye Fan’s eye, instantly swelling it shut.
Finally having enough, Ye Fan gathered his energy and sent a pulse of power outward, forcing the two won back. In utter despair, he tore the black cloth from his face.
Luo Yazhi and the Dark Night Demon Queen finally saw him. It was indeed their beloved man, Ye Fan!
Instantly, shock and remorse flooded the won’s faces.
