Translator: 549690339 I
At this moment, Demon Marshal Gong Ya actually rubbed her eyes subconsciously!
Could that be Pan Peaches?
No, how could it be?!
This is the Lower World, after all!
Moreover, Pan Peaches bloom once every three thousand years, fruit every three thousand years, and mature every three thousand years; they are incredibly rare delicacies above and below the heavens, so precious that even within the Immortal Domain, they are exceedingly valuable!
Even she, esteemed as a Demon Marshal, had only ever seen them.
She had never tasted them.
But now, someone was actually carrying two large baskets of them and, what’s more, giving them away as gifts?!?
Could this be real?
But, that surging Immortal Spirit Qi and the rich aura of Dao principles, each peach seemingly nurturing a kind of grand Dao…
It was clearly Pan Peaches without a doubt!
There can be no mistake!
Really… are these Pan Peaches?
Subconsciously, she turned her head and looked at Li Fan, her beautiful eyes instantly filled with deep wariness.
What sort of being was he, casually giving away two large baskets of Pan Peaches? How many must he have cultivated?
Furthermore, thinking back to the barely survived encounters with the murderous intent, formations, and so on along the way!
She understood, this youth before her was no mere mortal but someone whose depths she simply could not fathom.
She somewhat understood why the Demon Monarch treated him with such respect…
Right away, she took a deep breath and said, “At your command.”
Li Fan immediately proceeded with Xinning towards the small courtyard.
Before long, he and Xinning returned to the small courtyard.
“This place is my humble abode, please come in.”
Li Fan smiled.
Gong Ya looked at the small courtyard before her and saw the four big characters on the gate: Wu’er Xianting!
At that moment, she was stunned.
It was just an ordinary-looking small courtyard, and yet she felt an overwhelming might!
Here, it seemed to be as exalted as an ancient Immortal Palace, as untouchable as an Forbidden World!
Merely approaching, she could feel the tumultuous aura of the Dao everywhere…
The words “Wu’er Xianting” even held a majestic presence that made her afraid to look twice!
“Forbidden land…”
She muttered the words subconsciously and looked at Li Fan, seeing the casually amiable smile on his lips.
“Master of the Forbidden Area…”
In her heart, everything suddenly became clear.
The entire little mountain village was essentially a forbidden land.
And this small courtyard was the forbidden land within the forbidden land, the core of the little village!
Had she encountered the Master of the Forbidden Area, and what’s more, ventured into his territory?
Normally aloof, Gong Ya found herself unconsciously swallowing, feeling icy-cold from her fingertips!
“What are you waiting for? Come in.”
Li Fan laughed, stepping forward to open the gate.
Xinning also spoke up, “Gong Ya, Big Brother invited you… just come.”
She didn’t know what Li Fan intended to do, but she could not refuse.
Gong Ya had no choice but to brace herself, nod, and follow.
She walked into the small courtyard.
The moment she stepped in,
Gong Ya felt her whole body go weak!
She sensed the terrifying presence of the Dao principles and some unspeakably powerful existences.
The pressure was so intense that she collapsed to the ground, letting out a frightened moan!
“Hm?”
Li Fan turned around and saw Gong Ya sprawled on the ground, her perfect alluring figure faintly visible, and he was momentarily taken aback.
This maid was too delicate, wasn’t she??
Had she fallen just by walking a few steps?
He turned back and helped Gong Ya to her feet, asking, “Tired?”
Subconsciously, Gong Ya clung to Li Fan’s arm and barely managed to stand.
Feeling the pressure of Gong Ya’s impressive bosom against his arm, Li Fan stiffened slightly.
But as she got up, a look of terror flashed across Gong Ya’s face, and she quickly said, “I apologize, senior… I’m sorry…”
Was she, a lowly creature like herself, worthy of touching such a fearsome being?
Fortunately, with the support of this terrifying senior, she suddenly felt the awful oppression around her disappear.
“Uh… no problem, no problem, come sit.”
Li Fan turned and took a seat in the chair, Gong Ya approaching nervously without daring to raise her head.
“You must be very tired; coincidentally, the peaches have just ripened, eat one first.”
Li Fan casually picked a peach from the bamboo basket and handed it to Gong Ya.
Gong Ya was instantly shocked—was this senior actually bestowing a Pan Peach upon her?
Heavens, wasn’t this a bit too generous?
As a leader in her own right, she found herself so nervous and flustered that she couldn’t speak or know what to do.
“Sister Gong Ya, Brother Li is giving you a peach, just accept it. Brother Li is very generous, this is quite normal,”
Xinning also smiled; she knew all too well what her subordinate was feeling.
As soon as she had entered the small courtyard, she, a Demon Monarch, even cried out of fear.
Gong Ya, having heard this, took a deep breath and respectfully took the peach, biting into it gently.
Immortal Spirit Qi burst forth between her teeth!
The essence and principles of the Dao infused her entire body!
This sweet flavor!
This divine washing!
Gong Ya was immediately intoxicated.
She couldn’t help herself and took another bite!
So sweet!
So large!
She ate with enjoyment, and soon, an entire Pan Peach was finished.
“Boom!”
The aura of Gong Ya suddenly surged!
She had actually… broken through to the next realm!
“Heavens, have I ascended from a Fourth Heaven Demon Marshal to the Seventh Heaven Demon Marshal Realm?”
She was astonished!
What kind of speed was this?
It must be known that the further one progresses in cultivation, the harder it becomes to advance.
Above the Demon Marshals are the Demon Monarchs.
And the Demon Marshals were the equivalent to the Daluo Golden Immortal Realm in the Immortal Domain, where every step taken required calculations in tens of thousands of years!
Now, the fortune she had received was equivalent to suffering through thirty or forty thousand years of hard cultivation!
“Thank you… thank you, senior!”
At this moment, she was thoroughly convinced.
Previously, she still had her doubts. How fearsome of a presence could exist in the Lower World? If there were one or two Golden Immortals, it would have already been tremendous.
But she had never imagined that there would be an existence such as the Master of the Forbidden Area hiding here.
What’s more precious was that the other party was amiable toward her and others.
She couldn’t help but respect him!
Li Fan said with a smile, “There’s no need for thanks.”
“Have you come to take your young miss away?”
He inquired.
Upon hearing this, both Xinning and Gong Ya were momentarily taken aback.
What did this senior mean by asking this… Was he hoping for her to take the Demon Monarch away, or not? Gong Ya couldn’t figure it out.
After all, though the other appeared amiable, how could the Master of the Forbidden Area be easily dealt with? A single incorrect response might bring disaster upon her and the Demon Monarch!
After contemplating for a moment and unsure how to answer, she could only say, “We will follow the senior’s instructions!”
Li Fan’s eyebrows slightly furrowed.
Even Gong Ya herself didn’t know what to do?
This indicated… things might not be going well for Xinning.
If the family Xinning belonged to was still powerful, then Gong Ya would undoubtedly have taken her away without any hesitation.
The fact that both the master and servant seemed so lost suggested that they… might no longer have a home to return to!
“Are you afraid of her enemies?”
Li Fan asked.
Gong Ya said, “Although the enemy is strong, I am willing to fight to the death for the young miss!”
Li Fan sighed. Despite Gong Ya’s courage, what could a mere woman accomplish?
“Xinning, what about you? Do you wish to leave, or what?” Li Fan then turned his question toward Xinning.
Xinning blinked her large eyes and then, with clever innocence, clung to Li Fan’s arm, saying, “I don’t want… I don’t want to leave Big Brother.”
After some thought, Li Fan promptly said, “All right, since that’s the case, you two can continue to stay here.”
“This place is quite safe.”
Upon hearing this, Xinning was overjoyed and said, “Thank you, Big Brother!”
At that moment, Gong Ya was also filled with inexplicable joy. The Master of the Forbidden Area had allowed both her and the Demon Monarch… to stay here?
That was too good to be true!
She too quickly expressed her thanks, “Thank you, senior, for providing us shelter!”
Although she was a Demon Marshal, she was not invincible. There were also the Eight Great Demon Marshals left over from the era of the Nine Holy Demon Monarch, watching enviously!
Moreover, there were powerful enemies from the Immortal Realm. After all, the Nine Holy Demon Monarch had offended quite a few Immortal Monarchs…
If she really took Xinning away, the pressure on Gong Ya would be tremendous!
But now that this senior had pledged his protection, what was there to be afraid of?
She was reassured!
“However, if you wish to stay, you’ll have to do something in return.”
Li Fan looked at Gong Ya and said, “Since you’re Xinning’s maidservant, you can perform household duties, right?”
He actually needed someone to do the housework since this small courtyard was so big.
Although Nan Feng and Zi Ling were diligent, their work was not adept, and besides, they still needed to learn painting and playing the zither, so it wouldn’t do to always have them in the kitchen.
Gong Ya was startled for a moment, household… household duties?
She, a Demon Marshal who had instilled fear far and wide, had never heard of such a term!
“She knows how.”
Xinning quickly spoke up, saying, “Big Brother, from now on, she will be your servant girl!”
Gong Ya, the Demon Marshal, also gritted her teeth and said through clenched teeth, “Senior, I… I know everything!”
Better to stay first and talk later, as for household duties… she can always learn!
