Chapter 1023 - 996 - There’s No Harm in Having One More Bowl of Soft Rice._1
Three years later, Xu Fan slowly opened his eyes.
Time has accelerated by 13,000 years. During these 13,000 years, Xu Fan has been comprehending the Three Thousand Dao Laws, and has now cultivated them all to the limit of a Quasi-Immortal.
"I have achieved the grand slam among the Quasi-Immortals. There’s no point in further acceleration of time, I can only enter a state of pure mindlessness," Xu Fan said as he slowly rose from the world of accelerated time.
With a single step, he returned to his own small courtyard.
The sun was just right, and Xu Fan basked in it from a lounge chair.
"Master, all the fallen disciples have been revived and they have all joined the Whiteboard Chamber of Commerce."
"Under the control of the commerce-focused disciples, the Whiteboard Chamber of Commerce has already monopolized 30% of the low-end market in the surrounding Immortal Realm."
"It is estimated that in more than 380 years, the amount of Fairy Jade earned by each disciple will return to its peak before they fell," Pu Tao reported.
"This chamber of commerce isn’t bad, by the way, what is my good Grand Disciple working on now~" Xu Fan nodded and asked.
"Han Feiyu is currently focusing on cultivating the Tree of Everything, hoping to elevate it to an Immortal product level," Pu Tao reported.
"Cultivating the Tree of Everything to an Immortal product level requires an enormous amount of Fairy Jade," Xu Fan commented.
"Han Feiyu has already invested at least 1.2 billion Fairy Jade into it, but it has only slightly increased the lushness of the Tree of Everything, and there hasn’t been much change."
"According to observations and predictions, Han Feiyu needs to continuously invest an additional 90 billion Fairy Jade to grow the Tree of Everything to the Immortal product level," Pu Tao stated.
"Tell this news to my good Grand Disciple, let him make a plan and take it slow," Xu Fan ordered casually.
"Yes, sir~"
At this moment, Xu Fan suddenly felt an unfamiliar presence within the boundaries of the Sect.
After a search, he found it on a Single Leaf Inclined Boat on Giant Lake outside the Sect.
A woman in a light yellow dress was standing gently behind Wang Yulun.
"Pu Tao, haven’t you noticed her?" Xu Fan asked. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
At this moment, Pu Tao suddenly started to make a sizzling noise, similar to a malfunctioning machine.
"Master, Big Brother Pu Tao has been restricted by a higher power," Seed’s voice sounded.
"Did you notice the woman on Master Wang Yulun’s Lonely Boat?" Xu Fan asked again.
There was another sizzling noise, and Seed also froze.
"Well, she must be a big shot I can’t afford to offend," Xu Fan drew a conclusion from this situation.
With one step, he arrived at the lake surface not far from the Lonely Boat.
Walking on the surface of the lake, Xu Fan looked at the woman behind Wang Yulun and asked, "May I know which senior you are and what relation do you have with Wang Yulun my good brother?"
The woman gently turned back to look at Xu Fan.
"You must be brother Xu of Yulun. Thanks for taking care of Yulun all these years," the woman in the light yellow dress said gently. Her eyes were full of the reflection of Wang Yulun.
"You don’t need to guess my identity. I am the Crown Princess of the Great Zhou Immortal Dynasty. I have come here just to see Yulun."
When Yulun’s name was mentioned, an unusual emotion flashed in the eyes of the Great Zhou Immortal Dynasty Crown Princess.
"Greetings to the Crown Princess of the Immortal Dynasty," Xu Fan said as he bowed slightly.
He saw this as an opportunity to cling to a super-powerful figure. Even though only his good brother could actually develop a direct relationship with her, he could also get some benefits by exploiting his brother’s connections.
"This Immortal Realm is not under the jurisdiction of my Great Zhou Immortal Dynasty, so there are some matters that I can’t meddle in."
"I may need to trouble you to take care of Yulun in the future," the woman said gently.
"Of course! Wang Xiangchi and I have come all the way up from the lower realm, through all the hardships. We are even closer than our own kin," Xu Fan declared firmly.
At this moment, the woman’s shadow began to flicker as if the signal was being blocked, and then she disappeared from the Lonely Boat.
At this time, it seemed that the others hadn’t noticed the conversation between the two; they were still fishing wholeheartedly.
"Has she left?" Wang Yulun didn’t speak until after a long while.
"She has left, I thought she could conceal her presence from you," Xu Fan replied with a smile.
"Indeed, I was kept in the dark. I was only able to determine that it was sister-in-law who came when I heard you speaking vaguely," Wang Yulun sighed deeply as he spoke.
"Since you knew who she was, why didn’t you greet her?" Xu Fan asked out of curiosity.
"In order to feed on her financial support, I signed many unequal treaties, which include not being allowed to speak to any past life female friends other than her and my wife, and this restriction is only valid for the period before her return."
After hearing this, Xu Fan suddenly felt a sense of bitterness. His sister-in-law tightly restricted her husband, not even allowing him to speak to his past relationships.
"What were you two talking about?" Wang Yulun suddenly asked curiously.
"Just some stuff about me taking good care of you," responded Xu Fan.
"When she was standing behind me, I suddenly recalled some memories from my past life."
"To think that those tough sisters from my past life have gotten this far after my death, my efforts back then weren’t wasted…." Wang Yulun’s voice held a hint of gratification.
"So what happened then…." Xu Fan couldn’t help but be curious.
"It’s nothing~"
"Brother Xu, are you short of Fairy Jade? I mean, since I’ve benefitted from her, it won’t matter much if I share some with you," Wang Yulun suddenly looked up and asked.
"I am in need, but not enough to let you eat the soft rice."
"I appreciate your kindness," Xu Fan said, nodding with a smile.
At this moment, a cold voice sounded.
"Has that Crown Princess of Great Zhou just been here?" A woman’s shadow apparated on the Lonely Boat.
"I didn’t speak to her," Wang Yulun, who was still fishing, responded.
"I know, I came here to make another agreement with you."
"I’ll give you 10 billion Fairy Jade, in return, you can only be with my sister and your Dao Companion in this life."
"As for the others, I’ll help you cut off the cause and effect. How does that sound?" The woman’s shadow suddenly spoke with interest.
"It doesn’t sound good," Wang Yulun shook his head.
"Would you agree if I give your good brother 10 billion Fairy Jade? Most likely, nine out of ten of it will end up in your hands."
"As long as your good brother nods, this 10 billion Fairy Jade is yours," The woman suddenly turned to Xu Fan and said.
"Senior, I don’t think it’s a good idea either. I can’t let my good brother give up the whole forest for my sake," Xu Fan said with dignity.
"Then you’ve missed a golden opportunity," The woman glanced at Xu Fan regretfully, then her figure dissipated into the heaven and earth.
"Your sister-in-law seems to be very diligent, always thinking about her sister," said Xu Fan with a grin.
"Sigh, I don’t know why, but I feel like once her sister returns, my days of peace will be over," Wang Yulun said as he packed up his fishing rod and heaved a sigh.
"We are in the same situation. I think when her sister comes back, we brothers might have to part ways for a while," Xu Fan said with a laugh.
For some reason, ever since they arrived in the Immortal Realm, his good brother’s life path has been getting stronger and stronger, and it was no longer possible to suppress it.
