Chapter 2345: Chapter 2380: Any Thoughts?
The group led by Herr Ningshuang has left; they all went to Daozhen Island and then teleported away separately. Meanwhile, three elders from the Ye Family also departed as Ye Li asked them to return and observe the situation: whether or not the Meng Family’s patriarch has begun to cultivate the Sixth Level Realm of the Divine Realm.
"Approach the storm closely!"
Once everyone had left, Ding Fan waved farewell, and Crimson Flame steered the super airship closer to the tornado. Upon approaching within several miles, Ding Fan spoke to Crimson Flame: "You should return as well. You can leave Family Head Ye here alone. Your Secret Guards need to develop properly. I want you to control all information in the Northern Wastelands. In addition... Information about the Barbarian Lands must not be leaked; otherwise, we’ll all meet a terrible fate. If anyone among them dares to leak information, even Zhong Zhiyong must die."
Crimson Flame is one of Ding Fan’s most trusted people, and the establishment of the Secret Guards was to monitor the Divine Realm and keep the Northern Wastelands firmly under control.
Crimson Flame understood the importance of this; the Demon Sea is located in the Northern Wastelands. Ding Fan wouldn’t be in danger here due to his considerable combat ability, supplemented by Ye Li as a protector. Considering this, Crimson Flame bowed to Ding Fan and withdrew, leaving only Ye Li.
The lightning and thunder roared incessantly in the sky, accompanied by gusty wind and rain, drenching Ding Fan entirely. Yet, he paid it no mind, standing on the deck of the super airship, gazing at the distant tornado with intense focus, absorbed in enlightenment.
Ye Li returned to the cabin, sat cross-legged, and began to cultivate, but his spiritual sense constantly scanned the situation outside, ready to react instantly should anything arise.
...
The Northern Wastelands are now very peaceful; under Madam Yan’s governance, the empire’s regime is becoming stable. Despite Ao Shuang seemingly uninvolved, he’s consistently overseeing matters in Dream Love City, keeping tabs on the entire Northern Wastelands.
Herr Ningshuang returned to Daozhen City, where Rufeng and Zhao Xiner were present. The three of them teleported to Dream Love City to meet Madam Yan.
Herr Ningshuang didn’t say much, not even to her most intimate aunt, Madam Yan, as she knew that the more information leaked about the Barbarian Lands, the more peril it posed to Ding Fan and the great families. Even having learned the Divine Skill of the Rakshasa Tribe made her embarrassed to speak of it.
Madam Yan is smart, gleaning much useful information from Herr Ningshuang’s words. Yet, she understood Ding Fan’s reasons for sealing information, although certain aspects eluded her comprehension. The Herr Family and Ding Fan now share a mutual dependency; she accepted that everything must revolve around Ding Fan.
After spending seven or eight days in Dream Love City, Herr Ningshuang couldn’t stay any longer. She mentioned her return to Daozhen City for cultivation. Rufeng, too, was growing restless. Madam Yan, tasked with rigorous supervision here, if allowed back to Daozhen City, would be akin to unleashing wild horses.
Madam Yan glanced at Herr Ningshuang, saying nothing as she permitted them to leave. She still trusted Herr Ningshuang greatly.
Everything went as Madam Yan expected. After a few days in Daozhen City, Herr Ningshuang and Rufeng led a few subordinates to the Demon Sea in search of Ding Fan.
Upon learning this, Madam Yan not only refrained from reproaching her but secretly felt relieved.
The Northern Wastelands now have an emperor but no empress, so Madam Yan no longer interfered with their affairs but sent people to the nearby seas to ensure everyone’s safety.
Herr Ningshuang and Bai Xiashuang traveled via super airship to reach the Demon Sea. Today, the place was likewise beset by continuous lightning and thunder, torrential rain, with tornadoes rampaging over the sea and tumultuous waters surging skyward.
"Why?"
Aboard the super airship near the tornado, they saw no one, but a silhouette appeared vaguely near the tornado.
"It’s Ding Fan!"
As they approached closer, they clearly saw Ding Fan, causing Rufeng to gape wide enough to swallow an egg.
In the distant towering tornado, Ding Fan concentrated on his Flying Divine Sword, being swept and spun by the tornado, seemingly uncontrolled, repeatedly drawn toward the tornado’s center.
"Sizzle~"
Suddenly, a lightning bolt split the sky, slicing directly toward the tornado, bypassing Ding Fan before plunging into the sea, scaring Herr Ningshuang and Rufeng pale.
"Save him!"
Herr Ningshuang perceived Ding Fan as endangered and immediately maneuvered the super airship swiftly toward him. A figure suddenly flashed from in front of her super airship, darting to Rufeng and Herr Ningshuang sisters, bowing and saying: "Young ladies, no need to panic. The young master is practicing; he’s been training like this for several days now..."
Dark clouds piled overhead, tumultuous seas below, violent gales accompanied by crackling lightning tearing through the sky.
The Demon Sea’s present scene appeared terrifying as if preemptive of an apocalypse; had ordinary individuals witnessed it, they’d surely be frightened to death.
But right in this terrifying tornado, a person kept going in and out, sometimes controlling his flying divine sword to try and fly out, but each time he was swept up by the strong wind. When he managed to stabilize and fly out again, the tornado’s power doubled, and he was swept back into it.
It’s like someone falling into a whirlpool in the sea, desperately trying to swim out, yet never able to escape the whirlpool’s pull, like a fish struggling on the sandy shore, refusing to die, but it can never return to the depths of the sea.
Ding Fan struggled within the tornado for three days and nights; it wasn’t due to an accident, but because he actively flew into it.
Only by being placed in a situation near death can one truly come back to life!
Ding Fan had been pondering for several days, with a strong urge in his heart; to understand the true insight contained within the tornado, he had to enter it, as only through close contact can one truly comprehend.
Initially, Ye Li was worried too, constantly preparing to rescue Ding Fan from the outside of the tornado. After observing for a day, he gradually relaxed.
The tornado here was not as terrifying as before, and Ding Fan’s physical body was now strong enough; the tearing and crushing power within the tornado couldn’t harm Ding Fan. If Ding Fan really couldn’t withstand it, he would crush the warning talisman in his hand.
Herr Ningshuang and Herr Rufeng watched for a while, confirming Ding Fan was temporarily not in danger, then they relaxed. These two put away the super airship they were riding, and along with a group of servants and guards, boarded Ding Fan’s super airship.
Then, they ignored the raging sea water and stood on the deck, raising their heads to observe as Ding Fan moved in and out of the tornado, watching him occasionally get swept away by it.
Ding Fan seemed somewhat deranged!
Herr Rufeng considered Herr Ningshuang’s solo training in the alternate world of the Tigertooth Ape to be insane, yet Ding Fan’s training was even more extreme. Ding Fan was being torn by the immense power of the tornado, and his body must have been in endless pain – yet he stayed inside for three days and nights?
Herr Ningshuang’s eyes showed a hint of reluctance, while Herr Rufeng, who was always indifferent, didn’t understand why Ding Fan was training so frantically, but she vaguely understood some of it.
Although Ding Fan was a disciple of the Sirius Clan, he had risen from the bottom step by step. Ding Fan valued strength more than any noble gentleman, because he never had anyone to rely on, and could only depend on himself.
Herr Ningshuang didn’t know why Ding Fan, who had reached the Central Plains, returned, and even unified the Northern Wastelands to become its local emperor. She knew clearly Ding Fan was not one to depend on power; otherwise, he would have unified the Northern Wastelands before heading to the Central Plains.
After the unification of the Northern Wastelands, Ding Fan didn’t do much, preferring Herr Rufeng and others to call him by his name rather than Great Emperor. From this, one can see that Ding Fan’s return to the Northern Wastelands was for resources, for cultivation, for power, not for authority or enjoyment.
Herr Ningshuang reached Dream Love Imperial City and inquired about Xia Mengqing. However, Madam Yan and others were completely unaware of the situation, indicating Xia Mengqing had not yet been rescued.
Therefore, at this moment, Ding Fan’s chaotic pursuit of cultivation is understandable.
...
After spending a day and night in the tornado, Ding Fan finally couldn’t bear it and crushed the warning talisman. Ye Li rushed in and brought him out.
Ding Fan’s clothes and hair were soaked, and he looked extremely weak, exhausted to the extreme. He saw Herr Ningshuang and Herr Rufeng standing on the deck, smiled at the two women, and then tilted his head and fell asleep.
Ding Fan slept for three full days, and after waking groggily three days later, he found someone by his bed. He opened his eyes to see an elegant black silk-like long hair, a woman sleeping by his bedside.
That woman slept soundly, her face peaceful, with a cinnabar mark on her brow; it was Herr Ningshuang.
Ding Fan wanted to quietly get up, but Herr Ningshuang was still startled. She opened her eyes in confusion, looking beautifully drowsy. Ding Fan couldn’t resist reaching out to caress her face.
Herr Ningshuang’s eyes became clear; upon seeing it was Ding Fan, she gave a sweet smile and softly asked, "Ding Fan, are you okay?"
Perhaps due to Herr Ningshuang’s training in the Seduction Technique, her every smile was highly captivating, extraordinarily charming, and Ding Fan stupidly stared at her, just gazing dazedly and saying nothing.
Herr Ningshuang soon blushed, averting Ding Fan’s intense gaze, too shy to meet his eyes. Her shy charm made Ding Fan’s gaze even more fixed as he couldn’t help but say, "Ningshuang, you’re beautiful."
Herr Ningshuang became even more bashful, feeling a bit nervous. Ding Fan’s hand stroked her face – she felt both anxious and shy, yet she greatly enjoyed the feeling.
Ding Fan sat up, holding Herr Ningshuang’s hand with his other hand, sincerely saying, "Ningshuang, what do you think about what I said to you that day?"
