Chapter 295: Chapter 294 Troubleso Matter
Afterwards, Shangguan Qiuyue took another day to recover, even though it ant she had missed out on the business deal with the Thai company. However, for her, securing Ye Fan by a stroke of luck was a delightful surprise. As a result, the weight on her heart was finally lifted.
In the world of business, she was a stunningly beautiful woman with a cunning mind, but in front of Ye Fan, she was simply a woman in love. Right now, they were enjoying the famous historic sites of Thailand together.
She looked at him and said, "So, what are you going to call
now?"
Ye Fan grinned. "Wife, of course!"
"Mmm-hmm," she murmured, leaning into his arms contentedly. "That’s my good husband!"
Suddenly, Ye Fan caught her off guard with a playful slap on her shapely bottom. Instantly, Shangguan Qiuyue’s face flushed crimson, and she wished the ground would swallow her whole. After all, Ye Fan was just that type of mischievous man. Won, beautiful or not, always seed to fall for the bad boys—n just like him.
Just then, Shangguan Qiuyue’s expression soured.
Ye Fan asked, "Wife, why the long face? Is sothing on your mind?"
"Husband," she began, "actually, aside from business, there’s another important reason I ca on this trip. The Trading Token that facilitates comrce between our Shangguan family and the Witch Clan was stolen. I mainly ca here to track it down."
"What is the Trading Token, and what does it do?" Ye Fan asked. This was a critical point.
"The Trading Token serves as the official credential for trade between our Shangguan family and the various Witch Clan tribes," she explained. "If we lose it, our family could face hostility from all the Witch Clan tribes throughout the Great Southwest!"
As she spoke, Shangguan Qiuyue felt a sense of helplessness. The Trading Token was critically important; it was a matter of life and death for the Shangguan family.
"Have you found its whereabouts yet?" Ye Fan asked.
"Yes, but the person who has it is terrifying. He’s intentionally sowing discord between our Shangguan family and the Witch Clan. His machinations are dreadful!"
"Who is he?"
"He is Thailand’s number one Ghost Subduing Master, the Ghost Emperor," Shangguan Qiuyue revealed.
The Ghost Emperor was not only the top Ghost Subduing Master in Thailand but also the most powerful expert in the country. Wielding his terrifyingly powerful Ghost Suppressing Technique, his na alone was enough to strike fear into the hearts of martial artists. He was definitely not soone to be trifled with.
"Ghost Emperor? I think I’ve heard of him," Ye Fan said. The Ghost Emperor’s fearso reputation was beyond imagination. Ye Fan seed to recall the na, but he didn’t have a strong impression of him.
"He’s a terrifying individual, and many have died by his hand," Shangguan Qiuyue continued. "The Ghost Emperor’s Ghost Suppressing Technique was passed down from the Witch Clan. A century ago, he was their most outstanding Martial Artist and was even expected to beco the next Clan Leader, but he ended up breaking away from them. Judging by how he’s targeting both my family and the Witch Clan, it seems he harbors a bone-deep hatred for them!"
Ye Fan nodded. It seed likely that an irreconcilable conflict a hundred years ago had led to his defection from the Southwest Witch Clan.
Whether in the Divine Land or Thailand, the Ghost Suppressing Technique was rely a branch of the Great Witch Clan, originating from the sa source. Relying on the skills he learned from the Witch Clan, the Ghost Emperor quickly beca a renowned Ghost Subduing Master in Thailand.
If this involved anyone else, Ye Fan would have stayed out of it. But Shangguan Qiuyue was his woman now. Since this was his woman’s problem, he couldn’t just stand by and do nothing.
Thus, he said to her, "The Ghost Emperor! Leave him to . I will get the Shangguan family’s Trading Token back! If he doesn’t know what’s good for him, I’ll kill him!"
The King of Heaven was a decisive man. Besides, a Ghost Subduing Master like the Ghost Emperor was undoubtedly steeped in sin. Killing him wouldn’t weigh on Ye Fan’s conscience in the slightest.
"Husband, no, you can’t!" Shangguan Qiuyue said urgently. "He has many disciples, over a hundred of them, it’s said. Each one is extraordinarily strong. They are a formidable force! Whatever you do, don’t underestimate him!" she warned, telling him everything she knew.
Ye Fan chuckled. "A hundred disciples? Quite the impressive display. Unfortunately for him, here in Thailand, I’m not afraid of him."
After all, he had just earned the title of Thailand’s King of Boxing. In a country with such a thriving Underground Boxing Ring scene, he could easily use his title to rally countless top-tier Underground Boxers to his side. A battle between countless Underground Boxers and a host of Ghost Subduing Masters would surely be a spectacular sight.
"Besides," he added, "I have a feeling we’ve been watched by his people ever since we entered Thailand."
Shangguan Qiuyue’s beautiful eyes darted around, and she said with apprehension, "I feel it too."
Ye Fan suddenly smiled. "You’re right. Soone is definitely following us."
He led Shangguan Qiuyue to a secluded area. Just then, a flying needle shot through the air, aid directly at her.
Ye Fan reacted in a flash, catching the needle between two fingers. Shangguan Qiuyue stared in shock as it ca to a halt. If it weren’t for him, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
Imdiately, Ye Fan leaped into the woods.
BANG!
Following the sound of impact, a figure flew out from the trees and crashed hard onto the ground.
Ye Fan stepped on his chest. "Speak. Who sent you?"
"I won’t talk!" the man said defiantly. Though dressed in rags, it was clear he practiced the Ghost Suppressing Technique; his entire body was sared with so kind of black concoction that made him look utterly terrifying.
"You won’t talk, is that it?"
Ye Fan suddenly pressed down hard with his foot. The man let out a pained scream. "It was... It was..."
However, before he could finish his sentence, the life drained from his body.
Just as Ye Fan was about to lift his foot, he noticed a large, reddish-brown scorpion crawling out of the man’s mouth. It was about twenty centiters long and looked absolutely lethal.
Ye Fan stomped down. The poisonous scorpion shattered, its black venom splattering everywhere.
Witnessing this, Shangguan Qiuyue broke out in goosebumps, a wave of nausea washing over her.
"It seems the Ghost Emperor made his move before we could," Ye Fan said. "This man was sent to spy on us. If he was defeated, that scorpion was designed to instantly inject him with its venom!"
Even Ye Fan was taken aback. "What a vicious and cruel Ghost Suppressing Technique!"
"Ye Fan, what do we do now?" Shangguan Qiuyue asked. "Maybe we shouldn’t take the risk. We can go back, and I’ll have my family renegotiate with the Witch Clan tribes to forge a new Trading Token."
She sighed, her worries evident. "Unfortunately, the Trading Token was forged collectively by all the Witch Clan tribes. With their internal conflicts deepening, the cost of forging a new one would be astronomical! And trying to get them all to cooperate again to create a new one would be next to impossible. But without the Trading Token, our Shangguan family could very well decline in the Southwest. After all, our family’s strength was built upon trade with the various Witch Clan tribes."
