The female cultivator looked no older than thirty, with an exceptional appearance and figure.
Especially her eyes, which seemed to speak.
Every frown and smile revealed a hint of subtle allure.
Ever since Ye Fan appeared, her gaze had never left him.
Her thoughts were all written in her eyes, unreservedly revealing them…
"This young man looks a bit unfamiliar," the female cultivator sidled closer to Ye Fan. "You're not from Yunhua, are you?"
Seeing this, the others cast Ye Fan a look of pity.
Heh!
This pretty boy is in for some serious trouble, having caught the eye of the Poison Scorpion!
Just wait until he's drained dry!
As for why they knew this…
Who hadn't been young once…
"I'm indeed not from here," Ye Fan replied politely. "I'm from Daliang Kingdom."
"Daliang Kingdom? That sounds so far away."
As she spoke, the Poison Scorpion had already linked her arm with Ye Fan's right arm.
"Since it's little brother's first time in our Yunhua Kingdom," the Poison Scorpion puffed out her chest, deliberately rubbing against him a few times, "how about I take you around some other day, alright?"
"We'll talk about it later."
Ye Fan chuckled and withdrew his right hand, muttering inwardly.
This woman clearly isn't a good person!
"Oh, is little brother shy?" the Poison Scorpion leaned in close to Ye Fan's ear, her breath hot. "It's not convenient with so many people around now. I'll come find you tonight."
Just then, the Poison Scorpion sensed a killing intent!
She turned her head and saw the Little Witch's face, black as the bottom of a pot…
"Are you done yet?" The Little Witch suddenly pulled Ye Fan to her side, glaring fiercely at the Poison Scorpion. "You shameless woman, stay away from Ye Fan!"
Ye Fan almost fell to the ground when she yanked him.
He sat down with a pained expression in the Little Witch's previous seat, then pushed the Little Witch back into her original spot.
Let them tear at each other…
After sitting down, the Little Witch was still glaring at the Poison Scorpion, seething.
"Don't be angry, little sister. You won't be pretty if you're angry," the Poison Scorpion reached out and hooked the Little Witch's chin. "If you like it, we can do it together tonight. Don't worry, I don't mind."
The Little Witch flinched as if shocked and slapped away the Poison Scorpion's hand.
Then, she desperately rubbed her chin, as if she had touched something dirty.
She felt utterly disgusted!
"Ye Fan, let's go!" The Little Witch immediately grabbed Ye Fan. "I can't stand being in this place for another second!"
As the two of them were about to leave the main hall, a Yunhua Sect disciple approached them.
"Your guest rooms are ready," the disciple said enthusiastically. "Please, the two of you."
"Guest rooms?" The Little Witch was stunned. "We didn't say we wanted to stay?"
"Oh, it's like this," the disciple explained. "All guests attending the birthday banquet are welcome to stay at our Yunhua Sect for a period, and take the opportunity to experience the prosperity of Yunhua City."
Upon hearing this, the Little Witch's expression changed drastically.
The disciple looked somewhat lost and asked cautiously, "Does the guest… have any issues?"
"Is it free?"
The Little Witch widened her eyes and asked with utmost seriousness.
"If you charge money, we won't stay!"
The Yunhua Sect disciple: "…Naturally… it's free…"
Ye Fan immediately covered his face and took a few steps back…
I don't know this person…
I don't know this person…
I don't know this person…
…
After walking for about fifteen minutes, the three of them stopped in front of a luxurious residence.
The house wasn't large.
Roughly estimated, it was only about two thousand square meters.
It had a small courtyard in front, filled with various beautiful flowers and plants.
"I'll wait outside the door. If the two of you need anything, just let me know at any time."
With that, the disciple stood aside.
"Thank you for your trouble," Ye Fan said politely and led the Little Witch inside.
The furnishings inside were neat and clean, and the beds and bedding were all brand new.
"The Yunhua Sect is quite generous," the Little Witch said, picking up a vase and playing with it. "They treat these guests so well."
"Perhaps it's like this for others," Ye Fan sat on a stool and took a sip of tea. "But at least for us, we've likely been placed under house arrest."
"House arrest?" the Little Witch asked in confusion. "We've only just met them for the first time, why would they put us under house arrest?"
"What do you think?" Ye Fan pointed speechlessly at the mark between his eyebrows.
It felt like this girl's intelligence had been decreasing recently…
"That's true…" the Little Witch nodded, then scratched her head as if reaching outside the door. "This is too much! Why don't we just fight our way out?"
Ye Fan shook his head.
"There's no need."
As they were speaking, True Person Yunhua arrived.
"Young friend, this is your item," True Person Yunhua handed over a spatial ring. "See if anything is missing."
"You jest, senior," Ye Fan casually took the ring. "Senior's visit this time is likely not just to deliver something, is it?"
"Hahaha, young friend, you're direct!" True Person Yunhua stroked his beard. "I plan to head to that ruin in the next few days. I wonder if it's convenient for young friend? If not, feel free to say so. I can wait a few more days."
"You are too kind, senior. I have nothing to prepare, I can depart anytime," Ye Fan replied politely.
"If that's the case, then tomorrow," True Person Yunhua nodded and left.
"Do me a favor and take out the things inside," Ye Fan handed the ring to the Little Witch.
The spatial ring True Person Yunhua brought now certainly wouldn't have a spiritual imprint on it.
But the problem was, even so, taking things out still required mobilizing spiritual power…
The Little Witch didn't think much of it and helped take things out.
Whatever Ye Fan asked her to do, she felt it was reasonable.
"This True Person Yunhua seems quite polite on the surface," the Little Witch muttered as she took out items.
Ye Fan smiled and said no more.
If this thing was ultimately just a tool to open a door, it made no difference whether it was on him or in True Person Yunhua's hands.
He was on their territory now; where could True Person Yunhua run to?
Ye Fan dared to bet.
As soon as he showed any intention of leaving or escaping, True Person Yunhua would definitely not be so polite anymore!
Moreover, although the key was used to open the door, once it was merged into a person, the outcome was hard to say.
It was possible that after opening the door, the carrier of the key itself would be finished.
This wasn't Ye Fan's wild speculation, but something he had truly encountered before.
Or rather, if he wasn't sure that the key would still be effective even if he himself died, True Person Yunhua wouldn't mind twisting his head off.
But it didn't matter.
After all, he had no intention of monopolizing the key or escaping, did he?
