Grasping Evil Chapter 388

Dawn broke.

Ning Fan had spent the rest of the night on his bed regulating his breathing. Currently, his mind, spirit and qi were at their peak. He pushed the door and exited his room. Amidst the wind and snow, there was already a dumb servant waiting for him. It seemed like he wanted to bring him somewhere.

Ning Fan spread his spirit sense and discovered with surprise that he was the only one left in the guest house. There was no sign of Yun Tianjue.

He then thought to himself.

Perhaps Yun Tianjue went to the Blood Dragon Pool in advance.

Ning Fan did not ask the dumb servant anything and followed him outside the guest house. Right outside the entrance, there was already a Void Refinement Realm striding bull lying prostrate on the ground.

The body of the beast was as large as five thousand zhang* with a pavilion built on its back. It seemed to be a beast for cultivators to ride.

There were more than ten figures of young people sitting on the back of the striding bull. Because of the Mortal Void Realm Sense Blocking Formation which separated Ning Fan from them, it was difficult for him to see their true appearances.

On the other hand, Ning Fan also did not attempt to activate his demon eye to see through the formation with effort. Instead, he leapt from the ground and got up on the back of the beast.

He would probably be heading to the Blood Dragon Pool by riding this beast today.

The lord of the Dragon Determining Valley really spent a large fortune in making a Void Refinement Realm striding bull to act as a mount.

What really astonished Ning Fan was that the seal that was planted within this Void Refinement Realms striding bull was not an ordinary mental seal, but a demon seal!

Only those who were proficient in demon cultivation methods could plant a demon seal… This discovery made Ning Fan think.

Could the master of this Dragon Determining Valley be an expert of the demon path?

Even though it was extremely difficult for humans to practice the demon path, it was not impossible. Like Ning Fan and the members of the Demon Sealing Sect, there were actually quite many human cultivators practicing the demon path.

The moment Ning Fan boarded the back of the beast, the Void Refinement Realm striding bull instinctively revealed a terrified look.

A dignified Void Refinement Realm striding bull actually felt frightened and nervous when it had close contact with Ning Fan… Unquestionably, it was the formidable power coming from his bloodline that could intimidate other beasts!

The reason why this striding bull was able to sense it was because its spiritual intelligence was rather excellent. Unless Ning Fan revealed his demon aura force on purpose, ordinary blood beasts would not definitely be able to tell Ning Fan's identity as a demon ancestor of the Fu Li Race!

*Moo*

It was unusual for this Void Refinement Realm striding bull which was extremely irascible and arrogant to guests to actually make a gentle and submissive cry after Ning Fan had mounted its back.

All of a sudden, the faces of all the male and female cultivators in the pavilion changed.

Anyone with a discerning eye would be able to tell that this striding bull was trying to please Ning Fan. But how could that be possible? A Void Refinement Realm ferocious beast was ingratiating itself to a Divine Transformation Realm cultivator?

“Hello. Are you Revered Ming?”

A voice was heard from the group of cultivators on the pavilion. It was hard to tell whether the person was angry or joyful when they uttered those words. Then, the Sense Blocking Formation was disabled.

The person who spoke was a middle-aged Confucian scholar. He had a Mid Divine Transformation Realm cultivation base. As soon as he saw Ning Fan approach, he immediately rose from his seat and cupped his fists to welcome him.

“You are?” Ning Fan walked into the pavilion and asked with a doubtful tone.

“Hehe. I am Yu Bai, a revered elder of the Serene Heaven Palace. They are also the revered elders of my Serene Heaven Palace…” The middle-aged scholar introduced with a friendly smile.

“So you are Fellow Daoist Yu.”

Ning Fan cupped his fists in return and nodded his head at the Divine Transformation Realm revered elders there to show respect.

There were a total of thirteen Divine Transformation Realm cultivators there. Five were at the early stage, three were at the middle stage, two were at the late stage, another two were at the peak stage while the last one was a Half-Step Void Refinement Realm.

The Serene Heaven Palace was a force under Chu Chang'an's command. Thus, these revered elders were his subordinates.

Apparently, this group of revered elders were going to enter the Blood Dragon Pool with Ning Fan to train. Perhaps it would really cost Chu Chang'an a great deal in order to activate the Blood Dragon Pool even once. He not only invited the revered elders of the Scarlet Heaven Palace to enter, but also the revered elders from his own force.

Although it was clearly an act of seeking personal gain, the opening of the Blood Dragon Pool this time was originally an exception. Chu Chang'an was compelled by Yun Tianjue to open it.

According to Chu Chang'an's personality, he would not accept any misgivings since he was unable to resist. It was a wise move to maximize the profits he could gain from it.

Most of the revered elders of the Serene Heaven Palace inwardly admired Ning Fan's bearing when they saw him remain calm and unworried despite facing thirteen Divine Transformation Realm cultivators.

However, around two to three of them had strange expressions. They communicated among themselves telepathically. It seemed like they were talking badly about Ning Fan.

In any case, Ning Fan was not going to even bother thinking about them. The strength he revealed publicly was at the Peak Divine Transformation Realm but his strongest battle achievement which had spread around the world was killing Revered Flame with his Indestructible Fire Body.

In the Scarlet Heaven Palace, Revered Flame was also considered as one of the top experts. Since Ning Fan was able to kill him, no one would dare to underestimate him.

After all, the only outcome of belittling Ning Fan would be death, just like the remaining four members of the Revered Elders of the Five Elements last night!

“Fellow Daoist Zhou, come and have a seat here. Fellow Daoist is indeed extraordinary. You can actually make this striding bull behave obediently. Other than Void Fragmentation Realm seniors, it's my first time witnessing someone having such a strong aura.”

“You flatter me. In fact, Fellow Daoist's bearing is more extraordinary. Your Confucian Profound Method is already on the verge of breaking through. With just another two hundred to three hundred years of cultivation, you will naturally break through to the Late Divine Transformation Realm.”

Ning Fan took his seat and uttered with a faint smile. However, his words made Yu Bai feel absolutely surprised.

“Fellow Daoist has a really keen insight! I haven't told anyone about how my Profound Method is close to a breakthrough. Even the revered elders of the same division as me don't know about it. But Fellow Daoist noticed it at first glance. It really surprised me. Sure enough, the rumors can't be trusted…”

The rumors that Yu Bai mentioned without a doubt referred to Ning Fan's tainted reputation such as being a lecherous pervert who rapes any woman he meets, a bloodthirsty devil who kills countless people without batting an eye, a tyrant who lacked conscience and so on. All in all, none of the rumors regarding Ning Fan that circulated in the Rain Palace were positive. Thus, Ning Fan was nothing more than a merciless killer in the eyes of all the Divine Transformation Realm cultivators there.

That was the reason why the experts of the Late and Peak Divine Transformation Realm and Half-Step Void Refinement Realm did not stand up to welcome Ning Fan when he came. They wanted to avoid having their reputation stained. Only this good-natured man, Yu Bai, got up to greet Ning Fan so that he would not feel disregarded.

Ning Fan's notorious reputation was also the cause of why a few cultivators on the pavilion did not spare a glance at him.

However, Ning Fan had frankly pointed out the progress of Yu Bai's cultivation at first glance. Such a keen insight was enough to show the depth of his Dao comprehension. He was undoubtedly a first class cultivator who gained his strength through bitter cultivation.

Since he was a cultivator who practiced bitterly, his heart must be as still as a rock. A cultivator like that had purified his own heart and cultivated his moral character. How could he be a lecherous and bloodthirsty person? As such, they began to conclude that the rumors circulating within the Rain Palace were probably fake.

As soon as they had a clearer understanding of Ning Fan, not only did Yu Bai become more friendly, but the Late and Peak Divine Transformation Realm and Half-Step Void Refinement Realm revered elders also began to get closer to Ning Fan and started to talk with him.

Unable to see! They were completely unable to see Ning Fan as a brutal devil lord!

His smile was amiable. His eyes were deep. His demeanor was poised and graceful. His body was straight and elegant. Anybody who met him would feel like he was just a refined young master.

This was the change in his outward appearance after merging his three types of intent realms. His demeanor had experienced a radical transformation.

When he puts on his black cloak, his devil side would prevail. When he takes out his black cloak, he would conceal his devil side within his heart. If he doesn't kill, no one would know how ferocious he was. Currently, his cultivation of the devil Dao had already reached a high realm as he reached such a state.

During his conversation with the revered elders, he effortlessly convinced all of them with his style of speech.

From the casual talk he had with them, he had also learned that this striding bull was heading to the Blood Dragon Pool.

The place where the Blood Dragon Pool was located was called the Blood Creek. It was a swamp filled with a thick blood mist. Without any doubt, it was full of danger as well. There were even some wild Divine Transformation Realm and Void Refinement Realm ferocious beasts that had settled within. Only Void Fragmentation Realm old monsters would be bold enough to enter themselves. Divine Transformation Realm juniors like Ning Fan and the rest must ride the striding bull to enter the place.

In any case, this striding bull was a Void Refinement Realm beast. Under its protection, all Divine Transformation Realm cultivators would basically not encounter any danger as long as they are careful and obedient.

“The Blood Creek…” While chattering with the cultivators, Ning Fan was pondering secretly.

Somehow, the closer he got to the Blood Creek, the stronger the strange feeling he felt as he left the Dragon Determining Valley.

Especially the Blood Dragon Demon Sword which seemed to be slumbering inside his storage pouch. It began to gently tremble as if it was expressing a hint of excitement.

Its reaction gave Ning Fan a sudden realization. He finally understood why he had that strange feeling ever since he entered the Dragon Determining Valley.

Dragon Determining Valley… Blood Dragon Pool… Blood Creek…

Could it be that there is a true blood dragon in this land?!

Could it be that the so-called dragon blood is related to the blood dragon?

Ning Fan's mouth curved into a smile.

If it's really related to a blood dragon, I wonder if I can get additional benefits since I have the Blood Dragon Demon Sword.

Along the journey, they were served with spiritual tea and fruits. A small group of revered elders of the Serene Heaven Palace were having a cheerful conversation with Ning Fan. In the past, he had to be extra cautious when he was dealing with Revered Snow who was an Early Divine Transformation Realm cultivator. Now, he had already reached a level where Divine Transformation Realm revered elders had to treat him equally. It was indeed unimaginable.

However, while they were having fun and were immersed in their conversation, a light snort which was slightly disharmonious interrupted the joyful atmosphere.

“Hmph! Revered Ming has really good means. In the Endless Sea, Revered Ming has a prestigious and dignified status among the devil cultivators. On top of that, you can also easily and fluently talk with the righteous cultivators of our Rain Palace. You really have your bread buttered on both sides… I wonder if Revered Ming has ever heard of this saying? In this world, everyone has someone who favors them or hates them. Those who gain the liking of others are not necessarily good while those who are detested by others are not necessarily bad. However, those who are able to make both good and bad people like them, they must be… a cunning individual!”

To everyone's surprise, the person who voiced this out was a young lady with a sharp and beautiful appearance. This lady's hair was tied in a ponytail. She did not wear robes with delicate embroideries but a set of silver armor which made her look like a female general. Despite her military outfit, her petite and curvaceous body could not hide her natural beauty.

This young lady had an Early Divine Transformation Realm cultivation base. Moreover, she had just attained that cultivation realm not long ago. Emanating a heroic spirit, she slightly raised one of her eyebrows while glancing sideways at Ning Fan. Her attitude towards him was rather contemptuous.

She actually dared to call Ning Fan a cunning person…

“Chong'er, mind your manners!” Yu Bai glared at the young lady and immediately cupped his fists at Ning Fan to apologize. His face was filled with awkwardness. Then, he continued speaking.

“This young lady is my younger sister, Yu Chong'er. She has always been training in the Yu Family and does not know about rules and common courtesy. Even though her words are offensive to Revered Ming, she certainly harbors no evil intentions. Please calm your anger, Revered Ming.”

Yu Bai was smiling bitterly and helplessly. Even if Ning Fan really was a cunning individual, he would never be bold enough to call him that in public. After all, Ning Fan was a Peak Divine Transformation Realm cultivator. One could decide not to befriend him, but one must never make him an enemy.

Besides, after exchanging a few words with Ning Fan, Yu Bai was already awed by him. He did not think of him as a cunning person at all. Naturally, he was extremely displeased by Yu Chong'er's impertinent remarks about Ning Fan. In fact, he was very afraid that Ning Fan would be enraged after hearing her offensive words.

Ning Fan's gaze casually moved towards Yu Chong'er. He then smiled and shook his head.

“Never mind. Your younger sister is frank and honest. It's hard to find a young lady like her. As long as she spoke those words without harboring any ill intentions, I will never bother about it even if it was unpleasant to hear. Treat it as me giving Fellow Daoist Yu some face.”

“Hehe. Fellow Daoist Zhou, thank you for being magnanimous. Chong'er, why don't you quickly come over here and apologize to Revered Ming?” Yu Bai's eyes turned serious as soon as he looked at Yu Chong'er. He really had the air of an elder brother.

“Hmph! Who is going to apologize to him?! All of you are afraid of him and that's why you won't dare to talk bad about him. I, Yu Chong'er, am not scared of him. Do you know who my master is? He is Yun Qingge who is one of the four greatest Void Fragmentation Realm experts. I am not afraid of any pervert or devil cultivator!”

The little lady gave Ning Fan an angry stare. Well, how could she be wrong? Ning Fan was undoubtedly an evil person.

The little lady did not have exceptional talent in other areas but she was born with a keen sense towards baleful qi. She could clearly sense the shocking amount of baleful qi within Ning Fan's body. Only those who had slaughtered hundreds of Divine Transformation Realm cultivators would have such a tremendous amount of baleful qi.

Yu Chong'er knew that Ning Fan must be a brutal and merciless devil lord. Thus, she concluded that the amiable character he had now was just a facade. He must be an extremely dangerous man!

Despite originally being a devil cultivator, he insisted on joining the Rain Palace to wash himself clean and become a righteous cultivator. If this wasn't a cunning move, then what was?

Ever since Yu Chong'er was born in the Yu Family, she was treasured by her family members like a precious pearl. Furthermore, she was pampered by a Void Fragmentation Realm expert and was kept as a disciple. As such, it made her slightly proud and arrogant than the rest.

Fortunately, her character was quite pure and kind. She usually has a strong sense of justice and was always ready to help the weak. She was not like the other cultivators of the righteous path who are only good at talking but do not walk the talk.

Therefore, it was normal for a lady with a strong sense of justice like her to not like Ning Fan who was a notorious devil lord.

She did not know how to hide her feelings. If she doesn't like something, she would not hold herself back from expressing her feelings. However, she did not expect that her own brother would not side with her at all after she spoke the truth, but helped Ning Fan instead. It really infuriated her.

“You can continue to act in this manner. Regardless, I, Yu Chong'er, will never be cheated by you.” Yu Chong'er expressed her dissatisfaction towards Ning Fan through telepathy.

“…” Ning Fan directly ignored her. With Ning Fan's personality, he was too lazy to even argue with a little lady like this.

Precisely. His easy going nature indeed had the element of being a facade. If he were to show his original self, perhaps he would be as cold as ice to this group of unfamiliar cultivators.

However, a person who wears a facade was not necessarily evil most of the time. It was just what life forced them to do. Everyone had a mask with them. Be it righteous cultivators or devil cultivators, it's up to them to decide whether to put on their masks or reveal their true selves.

Ning Fan was not a good man. However, he had no grudges against the Serene Heaven Palace. Besides, Chu Chang'an had even given him three bottles of dragon blood which were considered as a grand gift. Thus, he had a good impression of the Serene Heaven Palace instead of having grudges.

When he faces his enemies, he would eliminate them without mercy.

When it comes to his friends, even if they slightly mock him, he would turn a blind eye to it.

All the Divine Transformation Realm cultivators in the pavilion were people with discerning eyes. How could they not notice that Yu Chong'er was communicating with Ning Fan telepathically. Additionally, judging from the shape of her mouth while speaking, most of them knew that she probably did not say anything good to him. In all likelihood, she was probably saying sarcastic remarks towards Ning Fan again.

However, Ning Fan did not even talk back at her. Neither did he dart a single glance at her. His demeanor and magnanimity made the revered elders there admire him even more.

“Hai. Seeing for oneself is truly a hundred times better than hearing from others… It is very rare to find someone in the Rain Palace who has such a strong tolerance like Revered Ming. My younger sister is still immature and ignorant. Even though she insolently spoke to Revered Ming, Revered Ming still put up with her. I really feel apologetic to you… Revered Ming, please accept me as a gift.”

Yu Bai clenched his teeth. A part of him was feeling guilty and ashamed of himself whereas another part of him was unwilling to offend Ning Fan. After pondering for a while, he took out an exquisite jade box from his storage pouch and handed it to Ning Fan.

When he opened the jade box slightly, a whiff of medicinal fragrance that would only be given out by a ten-thousand-year-old medicinal herb filled the air. All the revered elders in the pavilion were surprised and their eyes were filled with zeal.

“It's a ten-thousand-year-old spiritual medicine! It can't be wrong. Could it be the…”

Yu Bai's facial muscles tightened. A second later, he heaved a sigh as if he had let go of the burden on his mind. His expression turned calm and reached out his hands to pass the jade box to Ning Fan. With an apologetic tone, he said.

“This is a tuft of the Red Chamber Zoysia. It has been verified by a Fifth Revolution Pill Master that its age is thirteen thousand and four hundred years old. If one consumes it, it can prolong their life by two hundred years. Now, I will give it to Brother Zhou as a gift.”

“Red Chamber Zoysia?” Ning Fan was inwardly astonished. This was a miraculous medicine that could prolong the life of a Divine Transformation Realm cultivator. One could only consume a tuft in his entire life and a single tuft could extend his lifespan by two hundred years. If it were to be sold in a marketplace, it could be auctioned up to one hundred million immortal jade.

To Divine Transformation Realm cultivators, no, to anyone, having an extra two hundred years of life was extremely precious.

Ning Fan's eyes flashed.

Since Yu Bai is willing to give me this item as a gift, he is sincerely trying to befriend me.

Of all the thirteen Divine Transformation Realm cultivators in the pavilion, only Yu Bai stood up to welcome him. Thus, Ning Fan had a favorable impression of him.

He was not lacking in spiritual medicines that could extend his lifespan, but he had to keep this spiritual herb from Yu Bai. Once he keeps it, it would mean that the both of them have established a friendly relationship.

“Thank you for the gift, Brother Yu. I don't have anything good to give you in return. Regardless, these are pills that I myself concocted personally. I hope Brother Yu won't dislike them.”

Ning Fan casually took out a few bottles of pills which were for healing wounds. All of them were Fifth Revolution pills that he refined himself.

As soon as they heard that Ning Fan was going to give Yu Bai pills which he refined in return, many of the Divine Transformation Realm cultivators gently knitted their brows. From their perspective, it was already difficult for Ning Fan to be a Third Revolution Pill Master. It would be one in a million for him to achieve the Fourth Revolution. The Fifth Revolution was definitely a joke.

Therefore, they had thought that it would certainly be unworthy of the ten-thousand-year-old spiritual medicine when they heard him deciding to give the pills he himself refined as a present.

However, Yu Bai was rather excited. As the saying goes, even if it's a trifling present, it's the thought that counts. Ning Fan had decided to give him pills he personally concocted in exchange for his gift. This gift contained his kind intentions and sincerity. It was a sign that he recognized Yu Bai as a friend.

Even if the pills Ning Fan concocted were just of the Third Revolution, Yu Bai did not harbor any intention to reject this gift.

“Third Elder Brother, how can you give the Red Chamber Zoysia to this evil devil lord as a gift! Y-Y-You… It was for our mother…”

“Our mother has already consumed the Red Chamber Zoysia once before. It will have no effect on her anymore if she consumes it again…”

“Even so, you are going to suffer a huge loss by giving him the Red Chamber Zoysia since the pills that he's going to give you may not even be Third Revolution pills!”

“Be quiet! Etiquette requires reciprocity. Besides, during exchanging gifts, one's intention is the most important element. How could it be measured with the price of the item?”

Yu Bai gave an angry look at Yu Chong'er.

What he found admirable in Ning Fan was his magnanimous bearing and his talents. It had nothing to do with these pills at all.

Even if Ning Fan did not intend to give him pills in exchange for his gift, he would still be very pleased to have established a friendly relationship with him.

Now, Yu Chong'er felt even angrier towards Ning Fan as she placed all the blame on him.

Hmph! It's all this big bad devil lord's fault. He's the reason why I kept being scolded by my elder brother.

Anger boiled within her and made her stomp her feet. She ran to Yu Bai and snatched the bottles of pills from him. Afterwards, she passed them back to Ning Fan in a bossy and arrogant manner.

“Take back your Third Revolution pills and return the Red Chamber Zoysia to my elder brother!” She was unwilling to see her own brother suffer a loss.

“Chong'er, how can you be so impudent!”

“Brother Yu, please calm your anger…”

Ning Fan calmly waved his hand. He was not enraged at all. Instead, he found this young lady rather funny.

Yu Bai is a person whom I can befriend. As for this Yu Chong'er… It seems like she is starting to show the temper of a mistress.

“Zhou Ming, take away your Third Revolution pills now. My brother does not need them! A big bad devil lord like you must never have any ties with our Yu Family!”

“I suppose the friendship between me and your elder brother does not relate to you at all, does it? Besides, are you really sure that these are just Third Revolution pills?” Ning Fan raised his eyebrows and had eyes that were deep as he looked Yu Chong'er in the eye. This young lady who had yet to experience the outside world had never been looked at by a man like this before. All of a sudden, her cheeks blushed and her aura force weakened.

“T-They are not Third Revolution pills? Are you telling me that they are Fourth Revolution pills?”

“Perhaps they are of the Fifth Revolution.”

“This can't be possible! You've clearly mentioned that you are the one who refined these pills!”

“Yu Chong'er's beautiful eyes widened slightly. Well, she was not a fool. Moreover, the medicinal qi of these pills clearly contained Ning Fan's qi. He planted it within the pills when he was refining them.

She gently placed the pill bottles closer to her nose. When she sniffed the medicinal fragrance, she felt a cool breeze blow against her face. The medicinal fragrance she felt from these pills was a little too concentrated.

Fifth Revolution… Can they really be Fifth Revolution pills!? No. They can't be! This man is a bad devil lord. It's impossible for him to be a Fifth Revolution Pill Master!

But this medicinal fragrance…

*Ponk*

Feeling doubtful and incredulous, she unplugged the cork of one of the bottles. In the next moment, the pill fragrance which was originally sealed within the bottle began to spread, filling the air within the pavilion.

The moment the Divine Transformation Realm cultivators smelled the pill fragrance, their expressions changed greatly.

“A Mid Grade Fifth Revolution pill… Divine Injury Pill! Consuming a single pellet of this pill can allow a gravely injured Divine Transformation Realm to be completely healed! A single pellet is worth ten million immortal jade!”

“A Mid Grade Fifth Revolution pill… Death Sealing Pill! This is a pill that can only be found in the Upper World. The recipe of refining this pill had never been widely spread. Revered Ming actually knows how to refine it!”

“Revered Ming is actually a Mid Grade Fifth Revolution Pill Master!”

All of a sudden, the attention of all the cultivators focused on Ning Fan as if he was some kind of ‘attention magnet'. Their eyes were filled with astonishment and excitement.

In the Rain World, the total number of Fifth Revolution Pill Masters did not even exceed 50.

As for Sixth Revolution Pill Master, there were only seven of them.

Up until today, there was still no Seventh Revolution Pill Master. Of course, there were rumors which claimed that the Pill Sovereign who had been cultivating in seclusion had already attained the Seventh Revolution Pill Refinement Techniques. However, there was still no evidence to prove it.

The status of a Fifth Revolution Pill Master was certainly more honorable than an ordinary Divine Transformation Realm cultivator.

In addition to that, Ning Fan was at the middle stage of the Fifth Revolution. What made him even more outstanding was him also being a Peak Divine Transformation Realm expert. When everything was added up together, his status was just too great.

Not a single Divine Transformation Realm cultivator present was willing to offend a Fifth Revolution Pill Master!

Yu Chong'er cautiously put down the bottles of pills. She was left dazed and rendered speechless. She had never expected that Ning Fan could refine Fifth Revolution pills, let alone be so generous to give a few bottles of those pills to Yu Bai.

Adding all of these pills together, they are worth at least two hundred million immortal jade…

The value of Ning Fan's present that he gave to Yu Bai was even higher than that of the Red Chamber Zoysia.

He didn't have the intention to take advantage of my brother at all. Instead, it's my fault for judging and treating him as a cunning villain.

“I'm sorry. I've misunderstood you. Y-You may not be a good guy but perhaps you aren't a bad person too… I didn't expect that you were a Mid Grade Fifth Revolution Pill Master… I… I… All in all, I apologize for what I have said to you earlier. However, even though I have apologized, I will still not like you. I hope you can understand.”

Yu Chong'er began to talk incoherently.

The meaning she wanted to express was probably that she wanted to maintain a normal relationship with Ning Fan from today onwards. She neither likes nor hates him. She would just treat him like a stranger, just like a saying that goes – a friendship need not to be overly showy.

However, the words she used to express her meaning were rather ambiguous. When each of the Divine Transformation Realm cultivators who had gone through a lot in their lives heard it, they felt that it was like a lover's talk, especially when the couple had just quarreled with each other.

What does ‘I will still not like you' supposed to mean? When she emphasized those words, it simply attracted more attention. It's just seemed like the more she tried to hide it, the more it exposed her true intentions.

Even Yu Bai was staring at his own younger sister in a weird manner.

Chong'er has been opposing Zhou Ming aggressively and showed her temper. Could it be that she has some feelings for him and she was provoking him on purpose to try to gain his attention?

Well, Yu Bai had seen quite a lot of actions like this and knew what she was thinking.

“Hehe. It's wise that Mistress Chong'er doesn't like me. If you like me, I will be worried because I already have wives.”

Ning Fan teased her and his words caused many of the revered elders to laugh heartily.

“You! Hmph! I don't care if you have wives or not. You're just detestable!” The guilt she had for Ning Fan just now immediately disappeared.

Sure enough, he is not a good guy. How dare he tease me in front of everyone!

My master is right. There's nothing good in men, especially men who cultivate the devil path!
