Chapter 1959


    “Niu!” Duanmu Wan''er screamed.


    It was toote. Huangniu and Ye Fan had already fallen backward into the eye of the storm.


    “I hope Niu is happy now! This is what he gets for picking fights with Ye Fan.”


    Duanmu Wan''er was thoroughly amused by the incident as she pictured Huangniu''s terrified moos


    as the pair of them spiraled into oblivion.


    She was not too worried as Mr. Long had mentioned once before that Huangniu was no ordinary


    beast.


    Though he looked and felt like an ordinary calf, his hide and flesh were as tough as steel.


    Mr. Long has also said before that out of the three of us, Huangniu would be the only one to survive


    the Thundersea!


    Back then, Mr. Long tried to persuade Huangniu to venture into the Thundersea to emerge from the


    other side in pursuit of Duanmu Wan''er''s brother to rescue them.


    However, Huangniu tly refused to leave the safety of the cave to plunge into the unknown depths


    of the well.


    This time, he has no say in the matter.


    After standing over the well for a moment, Duanmu Wan''er left for the ce she had called her


    home for the past several centuries.


    What had been a merry little nest several minutes ago was now ringing with deafening silence.


    Ye Fan''s specially made deck of cards was scattered all over the floor the way he had left them.


    The magical bed still bore traces of his body warmth was proof of his existence. Huangniu''s yoga


    mat that he used often was unrolled and spread over the floor as if he was returning soon for


    another session.


    At that moment, it suddenly hit Duanmu Wan''er that she was all alone in the world.


    So this is what loneliness feels like. How awful! It''s like a hole in my heart that cannot be filled. Like


    the world has moved on and forgotten all about me.


    Unable to bearthe miserable feeling consuming her heart like a cold, mmy hand, She sat on the


    floor


    next to the desk and hugged her knees.


    Suddenly, Duanmu Wan''er felt the overwhelming urge to cry.


    Before she could do so, a page on the desk with several lines scrawled across it caught her eye.


    Shyly, she peeked, lovely as you please, The roses in her cheeks swayed with the breeze.s, fare


    thee well must we say,Sweet mncholy in my heart shall stay.


    It was a poem that Duanmu Wan''er had nevere across.


    Below the stanzas was another sentence.


    Only the most beautiful verse for the most beautiful girl. Cheer up! I''ll look for your brother after my


    affairs are put in ce.


    Signed next to his name was a caricature of himself with a crooked grin.


    Duanmu Wan''er could almost see if she squinted her eyes just the right amount, the uncanny


    resemnce of Ye Fan in the drawing.


    Picking up the letter, she hugged it close to her like a girl holding her only matchstick left in the cold


    winter would.


    “Thank you, Ye Fan.”


    Her soft murmur reverberated through space and time. An entire space-time conundrum away, Ye


    Fan awoke with a start.


    It hurts! It hurts like I''m being burned!


    Ye Fan opened his eyes and he winced from the paining from his eyelids.


    “He''s awake, Grandma!”


    Ye Fan''s eyes adjusted to the sunlight just in time to see a scruffy-looking boy run out through the


    door and returned several momentster with an old woman in shabby clothing.


    “Hurry, Geetha,” the old woman urged. “Bring him some water.”


    Ye Fan regained some of his wits after a sip of water.


    As soon as he could sit up, he began channeling Invoke the Celestial Cloud.


    The energy in the surroundings began gathering around Ye Fan.


    As his strength returned, the searing pain in his body seemed to ebb away slightly.


    He gazed about his surroundings, clearly dumbstruck.


    “What happened to you?” the olddy asked, clearly relieved by his recovery.


    “You looked as if you''ve been struck by lightning. You were entirely charred when we found you in


    the mountains. We weren''t even sure if you could survive. Look at you now! What a miracle.”


    She did not expect Ye Fan to regain consciousness at all.


    If an ordinary man were to sustain injuries like that, there is no hope of him ever regaining


    consciousness. This young man before me has demonstrated an extraordinary will to live. The


    burned skin has fallen off to make way for new andpletely healed skin in just three days! In all


    my years living in this world, I have never seen such a capacity for self-regeneration.


    However, the old woman was not aware that it was not Ye Fan''s skin that was charred.


    As he had channeled Raijin Thunderdrake before he fell through the Well, Ye Fan''s skin had turned


    into dragon scales which had borne most of the damage caused by the Thundersea.


    Suddenly, Ye Fan''s memory of the entire incident rushed back to him.


    Thest thing I remember is falling through the well!


    “By the way, was there anything else around me where you found me?”

    As though suddenly recalling something, Ye Fan began frantically searching about him.


    “Are you referring to these?” the boy named Geetha handed the jade bottles and the military token


    to him.


    Ye Fan heaved a sigh of relief.


    Phew, I didn''t lose anything on the trip. All of these, especially the pills made by Nan''er, are


    priceless. What''s left of the supply in the entire world is in my hands now.


    “Wait a minute,” Geetha''s grandmother frowned. “Where are the swords strapped to him?”


    With another jolt, Ye Fan remembered the weapons.


    I''d taken a lot of effort to bring those with me. I can''t lose them!


    Geetha quickly reassured Ye Fan that the weapons were intact, though they were forced to leave


    them where they were because they were too heavy to be moved.


    Within seconds, Ye Fan had Geetha lead the way to their location.


    There were fiverge weapons impaled into the rocks at the location where Geetha and his


    grandfather had found Ye Fan.


    Only five had managed to withstand the punishment of the elements while the other five had been


    shattered by the force of the tempest in the well.


    Ye Fan did not seem bothered by the loss of half of the items as if he had already anticipated it.


    The lesser weapons have been destroyed. What''s left has been forged by fire and thunder.


    Ye Fan sauntered over and casually extracted the weapons from the rocks as if they had been


    impaled in butter.


    Next, he attached all five des to his back with the help of a rope.


    “Let''s head back, Geetha.”


    With the weapons on his back, Ye Fan departed.


    Geetha was dumbstruck. “You''re awesome, sir!


    Grandma and I can''t even get any one of them to even move.”


    Ye Fan chortled dismissively. “This isn''t particrly impressive. Would you believe me if I told you


    that I can lift this mountain with only a finger?”


    With both Dragon God Body and Raijin Thunderdrake being simultaneously activated, his body had


    be an indestructible weapon of mass destruction.


    Reducing this mountain to a pile of rubble isn ''t just possible—it''s just a piece of coke.


    As they spoke, Ye Fan aimed a kick at a boulder the size of a car and sent it flying up in the air


    before departing with the boy.


    Thud!


    “Ow! Who did that? What a barbaric act!”


    The bouldernded on a calf whose body was charred and still smoldering.


    Huangniu was just regaining consciousness. Before he could get to his feet, the bouldernded on


    his back with such force that it almost knocked him out again.


    With a bellow of pain and rage, he sent a lot of birds fluttering off from the trees.


    “What? You know the King of India?”


    On their way back, Ye Fan had been ascertaining the situation in his absence when he paused in


    surprise at his youngpanion''s unexpected acquaintance.


    The first question he asked pertained to his location and how far away it was from Folo Pce.


    Next, Ye Fan asked the boy if he knew Fen Tian.


    Initially not having high hopes for any answers as the boy grew up in a vige far removed from the


    upper levels of society, Ye Fan was shocked to discover that


    Geetha was familiar with what had be of Fen Tian.


    The boy nodded. “I do. And I heard he''s in Xenhall! Grandma and I go into the mountains to pick


    herbs for him, as a matter of fact. For some reason, the King of India has been offering incentives to


    us to gather herbs for him. It seems like we can never collect enough for him as he keeps


    increasing the reward. Many of us here in the vige jumped at the lucrative opportunity and pick


    the herbs for him.”
