Chapter 14: Xuan Yufei Comes to Apologize? Too Late!
“It should be like this... Slow down... Take your clothes off first... Ah...”
...
Under Su Yixue’s step-by-step guidance, the room gradually filled with sounds that were decidedly not suitable for children.
When yin and yang united as one, Su Yixue let a tear slip from the corner of her eye and silently prayed, “Ancestors of the Ye family, I have not failed the Ye family. I have truly become a daughter-in-law of the Ye family.”
Although it was no longer the Seventh Young Master from before, it was still Ye Fan, the direct descendant of the Ye family.
As the two moved together, a vast warm current flowed back into both Ye Fan and Su Yixue.
With the flickering flame in his dantian, Ye Fan’s martial aura rapidly increased. In a short time, his strength had already reached the peak of Martial Venerable and was on the verge of breaking through to the next realm.
As for Su Yixue, nourished by that warm current, power gradually gathered within her body. She even faintly began to generate martial aura.
Under Ye Fan’s gentle yet rough movements, Su Yixue felt like a tiny boat drifting on the sea, sometimes riding the crest of the waves, sometimes sinking beneath them... The two of them continued for several hours...
Outside the window, even the moonlight seemed shy about what was happening in the room and quietly hid behind the clouds.
Outside the villa, the Ye family’s bodyguards and the Su family’s bodyguards listened to the sounds coming from inside.
They couldn’t help but smile.
“Although the young master has become foolish, his stamina hasn’t diminished at all!”
“Haha! Miss Su is going to be very fortunate from now on!”
“Sigh! If only the young master could recover soon. Miss Su and the young master would truly be a perfect match!”
...
After everything finally calmed down, Su Yixue had already fallen fast asleep in Ye Fan’s arms. Ye Fan, meanwhile, felt completely refreshed. Looking at the graceful beauty sleeping in his embrace, something deep within his heart stirred.
From this moment on, Su Yixue was his woman!
From now on, no one but him would be allowed to harm her in the slightest...
Ye Fan had many reasons for deciding to accept Su Yixue as his woman.
On one hand, his seven stunning sisters-in-law had publicly announced before everyone that they wanted to marry him. If he coldly refused them, it would have been ungrateful and would have disappointed their goodwill.
On the other hand, Ye Fan’s current rate of improvement was too slow. By joining with Su Yixue, he could obtain enough of that warm current in a short time to rapidly increase his strength.
The Ye family’s situation was extremely dangerous. The family had been nearly wiped out, leaving him as the only surviving heir.
If Ye Fan wasn’t strong enough, he would never be able to revive the Ye family, protect it, protect these beautiful sisters-in-law, or avenge the heroic spirits of those from the Ye family who had died.
So Ye Fan had to become stronger as quickly as possible!
And the flickering flame within his dantian was the best and fastest path.
After gently laying Su Yixue on the bed, Ye Fan sat cross-legged and rapidly circulated the martial aura within his body. A profound gleam flashed through his eyes...
Young Master Zhou of the capital!
Hmph! Wash your neck and wait. Since you dared lay hands on my Ye family, not a single one of my enemies will escape!
...
In Huadu, the provincial capital, the Liu family estate was brightly lit.
Liu Ran, the head of the Liu family, sat at the head seat with a gloomy expression.
“Has Xia Hao gone crazy? The Ye family has clearly already been targeted and could collapse at any moment. Everyone is boycotting the Ye family, yet Xia Hao actually chose to side with them and cooperate with the Su Group? He’s courting death!”
Too many things had happened that day. The Ye family had fallen, and Xuan Yufei had broken off her engagement. Yet Ye Fan’s seven sisters-in-law had announced that they would all marry him at the same time. To the Ye family’s enemies, this was the greatest provocation.
Orders had immediately been issued to suppress the Su Group as a warning to others.
But at this critical moment, the Xia family chose to cooperate with the Su Group and even declared that anyone who opposed the Su Group was opposing the Xia family.
Their stance couldn’t have been clearer.
“According to Xia Hao, it’s because five years ago, when Ye Fan was still a genius, he saved Xia Hao’s life. So Xia Hao wants to repay that kindness,” one of his subordinates explained.
Liu Ran snorted coldly.
“I don’t care what his reason is! Since he chose to help the Su Group, then he’s opposing my Liu family—and the forces backing us!”
After a pause, Liu Ran continued,
“Pass down my order. Tell the Zhao family in Yuncheng to attack the Su Group at any cost!”
“Yes...” the subordinate replied. Just as he was about to leave, his expression turned grave.
“Family Head! We just received news... The Zhao family... the Zhao family has been wiped out!”
“What?” Liu Ran shot to his feet in shock. “Wasn’t Zhao Dechang, the Zhao family head, talking to me during the day? How were they suddenly exterminated?”
The subordinate quickly handed over the detailed report.
“Zhao Dechang offended a grandmaster named Fan Ye. It’s said that when they were younger, Zhao Dechang stole Fan Ye’s woman, so Fan Ye took revenge.”
“What a coincidence...” Liu Ran vaguely sensed something was wrong. The timing of the Zhao family’s destruction was simply too perfect. Zhao Tianlong had just humiliated Ye Fan and was about to kill him when the Zhao family was suddenly wiped out?
If there weren’t solid evidence proving Ye Fan wasn’t present, Liu Ran would have believed that the monstrous genius from five years ago had awakened.
“Family Head, what should we do now? If the Su Group fully cooperates with the Xia family, then with the Xia family’s channels, they’ll definitely soar immediately. All our previous blockade efforts will become meaningless!”
The Xia family was roughly on the same level as the Liu family, and their foundation was even deeper. If they fully supported the Su family, carrying out the suppression order would become extremely troublesome.
“Hmph! If the Zhao family is gone, aren’t there still the Wang family and the Li family? Tell them to join forces. No matter what methods they use, they must not let the Su Group have an easy time. Even if it means completely ruining Su Yixue’s reputation, I don’t care... Better yet, stir Yuncheng into complete chaos!”
A sinister gleam flashed through Liu Ran’s eyes.
Previously, no one had dared underestimate the families behind those seven girls. After all, they were the Ye family’s daughters-in-law, and everyone had to consider the Ye family’s influence throughout Great Xia.
But now that the Ye family had fallen, the weight of those families behind the girls was no longer as significant.
Now that the Ye family had suffered such a devastating blow, the bigger the turmoil in Yuncheng and the murkier the waters became, the easier it would be for Liu Ran to uncover the truth behind everything.
Including whether Ye Fan was truly a fool—or merely pretending.
And exactly who was still supporting the Ye family!
...
Yuncheng. It was already late at night.
Yet in the Xuan family estate, inside Xuan Yufei’s room, she tossed and turned, unable to sleep.
When she broke off her engagement with Ye Fan that day, she had clearly seen the disappointment in his eyes.
Had she truly let him down in the end?
Thinking back to all the moments they had shared growing up together, tears flowed uncontrollably down her face.
Why did Ye Fan have to become a fool?
If only he weren’t...
Xuan Yufei had also attended the banquet that evening. Watching Su Yixue lead Ye Fan around, chatting and laughing with everyone, she felt miserable and didn’t even dare approach them.
If she hadn’t broken off her engagement with Ye Fan, then she should have been the one standing beside him.
But now, everything was beyond repair.
She eventually drifted off to sleep in a daze. Early the next morning, the first thing she wanted to do after waking up was go see Ye Fan.
Even if she could no longer be with him, she still hoped he would live well.
...
At Su Yixue’s residence, when Su Yixue woke up, sunlight had already streamed into the bedroom.
Looking at herself lying completely naked in Ye Fan’s embrace, and at the crimson stain on the bedsheet, she was so embarrassed she didn’t even dare lift her head.
She had really become Ye Fan’s woman?
Would this fool before her truly become her husband from now on?
Did she regret it?
She asked herself that question deep inside, but she couldn’t answer it.
Perhaps her decision back then had been impulsive.
But now, she had already made up her mind. No matter what happened, from this day forward, she and Ye Fan were husband and wife, sharing honor and disgrace together.
She would never regret it.
“Wife Yixue, you’re awake?” Ye Fan said gently when he saw her open her eyes. “Wife Yixue, I made you bleed last night. Does it still hurt?”
“Ah!”
Already embarrassed enough, Su Yixue had no idea how to answer.
“You... you’re awful...”
Thinking back to how Ye Fan had frightened her with a mouse in the woods the previous night, Su Yixue seriously began to wonder whether Ye Fan was really foolish—or only pretending.
After teasing each other for a while, they got up, washed, and were just about to have breakfast when a bodyguard spoke from outside the door.
“Miss Su, someone is here looking for Young Master Ye!”
Ye Fan raised an eyebrow.
Who would come looking for him so early in the morning?
Su Yixue was equally curious.
“Who is it?”
The bodyguard’s expression turned rather strange.
“It’s Miss Xuan Yufei!”
“What is she here for? Didn’t she already break off her engagement with Xiao Fan? Hmph!”
At the mention of Xuan Yufei, Su Yixue immediately became annoyed. Yesterday, in front of so many people, the Xuan family had completely disregarded the Ye family’s dignity by publicly breaking off the engagement.
And now she still had the nerve to come looking for Ye Fan?
