Best Young Master

Chapter 1930: Chapter 1795: Resolute Attitude

The night was quiet and serene.

Inside the room.

Ye Fan and Zi Huan sat facing each other, silent.

A vague aura filled the small room.

After a long time, Zi Huan softly spoke, "Brother Ye, my uncle just told me to make a sacrifice for our family and marry Xingtian, the strongest heir of the Xing Family, as a concubine. But I refused!"

"I already know everything!"

Ye Fan gently stroked Zi Huan’s smooth blue hair, feeling a multitude of emotions.

Zi Huan had done so much for him, so much that it weighed heavily on his heart.

The debt of love is the hardest to repay!

"Brother Ye!"

Like a docile kitten, Zi Huan nestled her head against Ye Fan’s chest and spoke dreamily, "Do you know, although I don’t understand why you won’t give me a promise or even a hint, Zi Huan doesn’t regret it. Falling in love with you is the happiest thing in my life. Alive, I’m your person; dead, I’m your ghost. My heart will never betray you, unwavering till death..."

Hearing Zi Huan’s heartfelt confession, Ye Fan was deeply moved.

He wasn’t a heartless person; his heart was rich with emotions. Zi Huan’s affection was seen by his eyes and held in his heart.

After a long time, Ye Fan’s gaze gradually became resolute, as if he had made some kind of decision, speaking in firm words, "Zi Huan, due to some special reasons, we ultimately cannot be together and are destined to part ways. I don’t want to deceive you, nor do I want you to feel pain when we separate, so I have never said anything..."

"Don’t say it, Brother Ye, I understand. You are destined for greatness. This world cannot hold you back. Zi Huan sincerely wishes you to go further on your cultivation path. Just having your words is enough for me!"

A slightly cold slender hand gently covered Ye Fan’s lips, and Zi Huan spoke with a hint of sorrow.

"I’m sorry..."

Ye Fan felt guilty; Zi Huan’s words inadvertently eased his dilemma; otherwise, he truly didn’t know how to explain.

"Don’t say sorry."

Zi Huan tearfully said, "Zi Huan will not blame you; after you leave this world, I will remain devoted to you for a lifetime, unwavering till death!"

Thump!

Ye Fan’s heart trembled slightly; he could only tightly hold her slightly chilly body in his arms, using the warmth of his heart to comfort her soul.

A girl from the Demon Clan, willing to remain devoted to the one she loves for a lifetime, is truly rare.

Even on Earth, in the Xuan Realm, how many such girls are there?

So, while he can protect her, he will not allow her to suffer a bit.

"Zi Huan, if you don’t want to marry Xingtian, then don’t! I promise you, I can definitely make it to the top ten! By then, even the Xing Family cannot do anything to you."

Ye Fan’s eyes emitted two determined silver beams, piercing through the void, words spoken with certainty.

This is a man’s promise!

He cannot foresee how things will end with Zi Huan, but he hopes that Zi Huan will not be forced into a pit of fire.

"I believe in you!"

Zi Huan held Ye Fan tightly, feeling both touched and a bit lost.

From Ye Fan’s promise, she could tell that he still cares for her, but due to some unknown reasons, he cannot accept her pure and passionate love.

But for her, that was enough!

The two held each other like that until dawn.

"Roar~"

From the Demon Beast Forest outside Ancient Demon City came the sound of demon beasts roaring, heralding a day filled with bloodshed.

After breakfast, Ye Fan said to Zi Xiaoyi, "I’ll head out for a stroll and get familiar with the surroundings!"

"Go ahead, but be careful. You’re unfamiliar with the place and have just offended the local Mo Family. So watch yourself." Zi Xiaoyi didn’t stop him but rather advised him.

He wanted Ye Fan to leave, otherwise with Ye Fan nearby, it would be difficult to continue persuading Zi Huan to marry Xingtian as a concubine.

Ancient Demon City is the central Holy City of the entire Demon World, massive in scale, with city walls extending tens of thousands of miles.

Shops and taverns filled the city, with a wide array of businesses and inns lining the streets, cultivators and ordinary people mingling, very lively.

If this were not the Demon World, if these people were not from the Demon Clan, Ye Fan felt it was no different from an Ancient Star of Life.

Though Ancient Demon City has a City Lord, it is essentially unmanaged, orderly despite the fierce nature of the Demon Clan, who love courage and fighting, with no one daring to cause trouble here.

Of course, if attacked, one can retaliate ferociously, even killing the attacker without facing any punishment.

It can be said, this is an orderly Holy City, but also a Holy City where the strong reign supreme.

The Ten Great Families each have their own industries and influences in this Holy City, intimidating the cultivators of the entire Holy City, preventing uncontrollable chaos from occurring.

Ye Fan strolled leisurely down the street, without any clear aim, just wandering freely.

However, during his stroll, he made quite a few discoveries.

For instance, in this Holy City, there are various markets, all formed spontaneously by cultivators. Any kind of material is available; as long as you have enough demon crystals, you can buy anything.

Moreover, as the selection competition approaches, young generations from various families within the Demon World have flooded into the Holy City.

These top talents from various families are accompanied by strong people from their clans to protect them. There is also an unwritten rule — before the competition starts, no elder strong people from any family are allowed to attack young geniuses!

As early as tens of thousands of years ago, before the Demon Clan’s talent competition, there were incidents where families feared the young geniuses of others might seize spots meant for their own family talents, leading to elder strong people attacking young geniuses.

It was precisely because of those mutual attacks on geniuses that this unwritten rule was born.

During that time, the Demon World suffered heavy losses. Families whose geniuses were attacked could not find the culprits, so they launched bloody revenge, continuously sending elder strong people to attack suspected young geniuses from different families.

As the selection competition draws near, a tense atmosphere permeates the entire Holy City.

Inside the city, people come and go, half of them are cultivators; in such a place, everyone is cautious, afraid of accidentally bumping into descendants of a powerful family.

Even worse, they might directly step on the foot of a Supreme Elder from one of the Ten Great Families; these events are not impossible because as the competition approaches, strong elders of various families have arrived here, and many such individuals roam the Holy City.

After wandering for half a day, Ye Fan hadn’t even completed one-tenth of Ancient Demon City, showing how immense this ancient city is.

Majestic buildings rise from the ground, towering up to a hundred meters, magnificent and vast, offering a suffocating sense of oppression from afar.

This is the center of all events in the Demon World!

Since ancient times, there have been many legends about Ancient Demon City. People are amazed to find, upon reviewing various records, that it is indeed ancient.

Its origins cannot be traced to any particular era. From the time written records began, this city has never changed its location, and no one knows how long it has existed.

Ancient Demon City was renamed by the Ancient Demon King a million years ago; what it was called before is unclear, buried in the dust of history.

While Ye Fan was leisurely wandering in Ancient Demon City, Zi Xiaoyi found Zi Huan again, earnestly persuading her to make a small sacrifice for the family’s benefit.

"Huan’er, reconsider. Young Master Xingtian is powerful, with infinite potential, and I can tell that he genuinely likes you. You won’t suffer any grievances if you marry him."

"Uncle, you needn’t say more. No matter how excellent he is, he has nothing to do with me. I absolutely won’t marry him; you might as well give up on that idea!"

Zi Huan’s attitude remained unwavering; her heart was already fully occupied by Ye Fan, impossible to accommodate anyone else.

"You child, why are you so stubborn?"

Zi Xiaoyi said angrily: "What’s wrong with marrying Young Master Xingtian? Not only can you ascend to the heavens in one step, but you can also use the Xing Family’s power to crush the Mo Duo Family and the Sword Demon Family, to avenge for your father and family. Why don’t you understand? It really infuriates me!"

"Since there are so many benefits, why don’t you marry him then? Anyway, I won’t marry; even if I were to be his official wife, I wouldn’t care, let alone be a concubine. Don’t even think about it!"

Zi Huan firmly said.

"You..."

Zi Xiaoyi almost fainted in anger, speaking indiscriminately: "Do you think I’d still need to beg you if I could marry?"

"Begging is useless; I’ve said it before, not marrying is not marrying. Whoever wants to can marry; I don’t care!" Zi Huan retorted before turning to leave.

"Stop right there!"

Zi Xiaoyi blocked her path, his face full of grief, saying: "Huan’er, do you know, I’ve already promised Young Master Xingtian. If you don’t marry, we’re doomed to offend this huge entity, the Xing Family. We cannot withstand the fury of the Xing Family!"

"The Purple Demon Family is already effectively non-existent. If we offend the Xing Family, our Purple Demon Family is completely finished! Even if you don’t think for the family, think for your father! Without the Xing Family’s aid, we can’t possibly avenge ourselves. Have you considered this?"

"Uncle, don’t worry too much. Brother Ye has promised me that he will definitely enter the top ten. As long as Brother Ye enters the top ten, the City Lord will stand for us, and our family can also seek revenge and elevate. Why must we cling to the Xing Family?"

Zi Huan said: "Moreover, even if I marry Xingtian as a concubine, given the vast power of the Xing Family, will they really care about our matter?"

Without waiting for Zi Xiaoyi to speak, Zi Huan continued: "Even if we avenge ourselves with the Xing Family’s help and restore the family’s original status, how would others perceive us? They would think that our family rose because we relied on the Xing Family’s power. Is this beneficial to the reputation and future development of our Purple Demon Family?"

Having listened to Zi Huan, Zi Xiaoyi sighed deeply, saying: "I really don’t know what kind of spell that Ye kid cast on you; can you trust his promises? Remember, he isn’t part of our family, and those outside our clan have ulterior motives! Besides, why do you think he can enter the top ten?"

"Brother Ye wouldn’t deceive me."

Zi Huan reiterated firmly: "I believe, if he wishes, even winning the championship isn’t a problem. You don’t know, his true strength is far beyond what you see."

"Alright, since you’re so resolute, there’s no point in me wasting words. I hope he’s truly as strong as you claim, or else we all face the wrath of the Xing Family!"

Zi Xiaoyi sighed deeply, instantly seeming to age ten years, and staggered towards the shop.
