Chapter 130: Slave Bullies Master Sexual Harassment

Chen Dong may not write quickly, but he is always diligent. Please understand and support his efforts.

Ji Ziyue blinked her large eyes. "There's no need for a headache," she said. "Just let me go, and all your worries will disappear." "What a nuisance..." Ye Fan murmured, gently rubbing his temples. He couldn't kill her, yet he couldn't let her go either.

Ji Ziyue pouted. "Hey, who are you calling a nuisance?" she retorted. "How could a clever and beautiful future immortal like me ever be associated with such a word?"

"So, what should I do with you?"

"We've faced danger together, even braving the Bronze Immortal Palace. We're practically sworn friends," Ji Ziyue said, scrunching her nose. "You can't treat a friend this way. Let me go, and I promise I won't harm you."

Ye Fan sat beneath the ancient tree, casting a few sidelong glances at her. "I wouldn't dare accept your promises or guarantees," he remarked.

Ji Ziyue, undeterred, spoke in a clear, melodious voice, like pearls clattering onto a jade plate, patiently trying to persuade Ye Fan. "I know how to cultivate 'Bright Moon Rising from the Sea'..." she began. "The ancient mighty ones possessed boundless power, and there's a secret behind it..." "There's an immense secret within the Void Ancient Scripture..." "And the Seven Forbidden Zones of the Eastern Wasteland contain..."

Ji Ziyue continued to whisper, coaxing and tempting him until her mouth went dry. Yet, though Ye Fan listened with keen interest, he offered no response.

She glared at Ye Fan indignantly. "Did you even hear anything I just said?" she demanded.

"Of course I heard," he replied. "But you never finish your sentences. Every time, you only give the first half, and all the secrets and hidden truths are swallowed back. I was just waiting for you to continue."

"Are you going to release me or not?"

"No!" Ye Fan answered decisively.

"You... I said all that, and you just give me two words in response? Why didn't you say that sooner? I'm so furious, and my throat is dry." Ji Ziyue felt parched.

"Go on then, I'm quite willing to listen."

Ji Ziyue was absolutely livid. Glaring at him, she declared, "If you don't release me soon, my family will undoubtedly track me down, and then you'll be in serious trouble!"

"Yes, it is quite troublesome," Ye Fan conceded, leaning against the ancient tree trunk and stroking his chin. He teased, "How about this: I'll reluctantly take you as my wife. We can live in seclusion here for a while, and in a few years, I'll bring a whole bunch of little ones to your family for recognition." "You little brat, Ye Fan! If you utter another word of nonsense, I'm going to have it out with you!" "Are you questioning me?" Ye Fan asked, chuckling as he stood up. Ji Ziyue immediately let out a terrified shriek. Ultimately, Ye Fan acquired another section of the Void Ancient Scripture and settled down to study it diligently by the lakeside.

Two days later, a small bird, jade-green like carved emerald, appeared by the lake. Its eyes were crimson, like two embedded red beans. "Quick, catch it!" Ji Ziyue suddenly exclaimed. "Why?" asked Ye Fan, whose cultivation had been interrupted, as he turned to look at her.

A look of alarm crossed Ji Ziyue's face. "Quick, don't let it escape, or we'll both die!" she urged. Ye Fan shot into the air, reaching out with lightning speed to seize the jade-green bird.

However, the green bird was already imbued with spiritual essence; it moved with incredible speed, transforming into a flash of green light before vanishing and fleeing into the distant sky.

Ye Fan conjured the Purple-Bronze Bagua Mirror. Its surface, shining like a full moon, instantly emitted a beam of light. With a soft "shhh" sound, the green bird dissolved into a wisp of smoke. "What happened?" Ye Fan wondered. "Does that jade bird have some unusual origin?" "It's one of my elder cousin's many pets," Ji Ziyue said, a hint of panic in her voice. "Quick, release me, or we'll both be in danger!"

Ye Fan was startled. Had the Ji family finally caught up? He also keenly perceived something unusual and asked, "Your elder cousin is here, and you seem very afraid. She's hostile towards you—why is that?" "You wouldn't understand..." Ji Ziyue said, not wanting to explain. "Quickly undo my restriction! Otherwise, she'll not only kill me but also silence you." "From the same family, she actually wants to kill you..." Ye Fan was astonished. "Don't waste time, it's almost too late!" Ji Ziyue urged repeatedly, her face etched with worry and fear. "If I release you, I might lose my life immediately." Ye Fan lifted Ji Ziyue, preparing to flee.

Just then, a string of clear laughter echoed. "Miss Ziyue, I hadn't expected to encounter you here," a voice chirped. A graceful woman in a green dress floated lightly into view by the lakeside, blocking Ye Fan's path. "Ji Xia, is that you? Has my elder sister Biyue also arrived?" Ji Ziyue inquired.

"Miss Biyue has not arrived," the woman in green replied. "I, your servant, was merely passing through on an errand and unexpectedly stumbled upon Miss Ziyue's whereabouts." Though a Ji family servant, she acted with extreme arrogance, chuckling softly, "Oh, so Miss Ziyue was planning to elope with someone, was she?" "Ji Xia, how dare you!" Ji Ziyue exclaimed, subtly pinching Ye Fan to signal him to release her seal.

Ji Xia continued to scrutinize Ye Fan before laughing. "He's just a raw youth of about fourteen," she scoffed. "Miss Ziyue, your taste is truly appalling." Her words were utterly disrespectful, ridiculing Ji Ziyue and completely dismissing Ye Fan.

Ye Fan secretly felt a bad premonition. The Ji family had arrived so quickly, which was entirely unexpected. This woman clearly harbored ill intentions.

Ji Xia appeared to be around twenty-five or twenty-six. While attractive, she couldn't compare to the vibrant Ji Ziyue. With a feigned smile, she asked, "Is Miss Ziyue feeling unwell? You seem to be walking unsteadily, as if lacking strength. Would you like me, your humble servant, to assist you?" "Ji Xia, you are too presumptuous! Are you here specifically to find me?"

"Miss Ziyue," Ji Xia continued, "you've been missing for a long time. The family elders were extremely worried, mistakenly believing you'd fallen into the hands of demon clans, and launched expeditions everywhere to retrieve you. But who would have thought that while we were fretting over you, you were living here in a humble abode, cohabiting with someone..." Ji Xia grew increasingly impudent, treating Ji Ziyue with complete disrespect and repeatedly mocking her.

Ji Ziyue did not react with anger; instead, she remained poised and composed. "Ji Xia," she stated, "you are searching for me under my elder sister Biyue's orders, aren't you? Do you intend to eliminate me and then leave quickly?"

Ji Xia let out a tinkling laugh. "Miss Biyue is too kind-hearted to ever do such a thing," she said. "However, I, your servant, have no such reservations. I do indeed wish to send Miss Ziyue on her way." "If you want to kill me, just make your move," Ji Ziyue said, stepping forward lightly.

Ji Xia, startled and unsure, took two steps back. She then looked at Ye Fan. "Brat, your methods are quite impressive," she said. "I wonder what trick you used to capture our Miss Ziyue..." She was exceedingly cautious, wanting to ascertain if Ye Fan had truly sealed Ji Ziyue's powers.

"Ji Xia," Ji Ziyue said with a faint smile, "after following my elder sister Biyue for so many years, you've certainly adopted her suspicious nature. Are you still too afraid to make a move?"

The more Ji Ziyue acted this way, the more suspicious Ji Xia became. She suddenly shot into the sky. "Miss Ziyue, come up and fight!" she challenged. Ji Ziyue inwardly grumbled, wishing she could bite Ye Fan a few times.

"Hehehe..." Ji Xia chuckled alluringly, her beauty like a blooming flower. "It seems I was overthinking things," she purred. With a gentle wave of her hand, a bolt of blue lightning tore through the air and struck towards Ji Ziyue. *Whoosh!* Ye Fan darted forward, pulling Ji Ziyue to safety. Amidst a deafening roar, several towering ancient trees were instantly reduced to ash by the blue electrical discharge, leaving the ground scorched.

"Miss Ziyue, so you truly were captured," she mused. "But this brash youth isn't particularly powerful; how did he manage it?" She then scattered a handful of shimmering, colorful sand that sparkled like countless stars, forming a nebula that descended to envelop the area below. "Quickly, leave here," Ji Ziyue whispered urgently in Ye Fan's ear, "you are no match for her."

Ye Fan lifted Ji Ziyue and, moving like lightning, dove headfirst into the lake. He dared not fly out of the mountain range; if their location were exposed, he would have no foothold in this region. "Quickly, undo my restriction!" Ji Ziyue urged underwater, vigorously shaking Ye Fan's shoulder. A faint light barrier enveloped them as they continued to sink.

"Hehehe..." Ji Xia's laughter echoed, and she, enveloped in a green glow, moved swiftly through the lake, about to catch up in an instant. However, she also harbored reservations and dared not directly kill Ji Ziyue, fearing that an imprint within her body might erupt and cause her immense trouble. Ye Fan, meanwhile, plunged towards the lakebed, intending to utilize the dense, mountain-like Xuanhuang essence found there.

"You raw youth, your divine power only fluctuates at the Divine Bridge realm," Ji Xia transmitted telepathically. "How did you manage to capture Miss Ziyue? I presume someone else took action, and you're merely here to guard her, aren't you?"

Ji Ziyue also grasped Ye Fan's intention. "Find a way to make the Xuanhuang essence below erupt," she urged.

"You little brat," Ji Xia's laughter turned increasingly sinister. "I recall seeing you protected by several old demons when we besieged Yan Ruyu. It seems you must be hiding some secret." She continued, "It appears I'm in for a significant gain today."

Upon reaching the lakebed, Ye Fan suddenly swung his fist, striking downwards, then accelerated to the extreme, fleeing forward with Ji Ziyue. *Boom!*

It was as if the gates of hell had opened; a vast, surging pressure, potent enough to rend heaven and earth, suddenly erupted upwards.

Ji Xia, having just arrived at that spot, instantly blanched, crying out, "The legendary Xuanhuang!"

A single wisp of Xuanhuang could crush a mountain range. The sheer, unimaginable destructive power of such a vast, mountain-like Xuanhuang essence, once unleashed, was truly terrifying. Petrified, she fled upwards desperately, no longer concerned with pursuing Ye Fan. "Ah..." Ji Xia shrieked horribly.

In the distance, Ye Fan and Ji Ziyue, still shaken, had already burst from the lake and fled far away.

The lake water boiled, immense waves surged, and the Xuanhuang essence raged like a colossal grinding stone, an unstoppable force!

The piercing screams abruptly ceased. Ji Xia did not emerge, and it was a long time before the lake waters finally quieted. Ye Fan and Ji Ziyue stood by the shore, both silent for a prolonged period, each with complex emotions. After a considerable time, Ye Fan finally broke the silence. "That Ji Biyue won't follow us down, will she?" he asked.

Ji Ziyue did not reply. Instead, she pondered something deeply, muttering to herself, "I can't go back now, nor can I show myself. The situation is truly complicated..."

"It *is* complicated!" Just then, a chilling voice rang out. Ji Xia, disheveled and resembling a vengeful spirit, appeared behind Ye Fan and Ji Ziyue, only a dozen meters away, her entire body glowing with an eerie green light. "The Xuanhuang couldn't crush you?!" Ye Fan exclaimed, utterly astonished.

A flicker of surprise also crossed Ji Ziyue's intelligent eyes. "Did Ji Biyue give you a Divine Light Escape Talisman?" she asked.

"That's right," Ji Xia snarled, her face contorted with malice. "To find Miss Ziyue, I brought a Divine Light Escape Talisman, transforming myself into lightning and searching for you for days!" She advanced menacingly. "Unfortunately," she continued, "the divine talisman shattered just from a mere brush with the Xuanhuang essence. Miss Ziyue... it's time for you to depart!" Ye Fan stepped in front of Ji Ziyue. "You treacherous servant..." he began.

Relying on the Divine Light Escape Talisman, Ji Xia had transformed into lightning, evading the crushing force of the Xuanhuang Mother Qi. However, she was still significantly wounded. She utterly detested Ye Fan. "I'll tear you apart first, then send Miss Ziyue on her way!" she snarled coldly. She spread her five fingers, and five divine rainbows shot forth, grasping towards Ye Fan. Ye Fan had been waiting for this very opportunity. He was incredibly formidable, fearing close combat least of all. A pair of golden fists swung out with immense force, instantly collapsing the space around them! "You..." Ji Xia gasped in horror, recoiling on the spot.

But it was too late; given their proximity, Ye Fan would grant her no opportunity. His first punch shattered the five divine lights and pulverized her outstretched fingers. "Ah..." Ji Xia shrieked, light flickering within her body as she attempted to summon a spirit treasure.

*Bang!*

Ye Fan's second punch was already in motion. Before the spirit treasure could even emerge, it was violently struck back by his golden fist. Ji Xia's Sea of Suffering shattered instantly! Ye Fan's fists surpassed spirit treasures; at close range, nothing could impede him. Ji Xia screamed, her entire body radiating light as she attempted to explode her form to inflict heavy damage on Ye Fan.

Just then, Ye Fan's third punch swung out with a resounding *bang*, striking heavily into her chest and punching straight through her!

*Boom!*

Ji Xia was torn into pieces, her body exploding in all directions. She had been utterly vanquished by Ye Fan's three consecutive punches.

"You actually beat a cultivator at the Other Shore realm to death with your bare fists..." Ji Ziyue gasped, utterly astonished. "You're practically a humanoid beast!"

Ye Fan's fourth punch was poised in the air, but he didn't unleash it. A wisp of Xuanhuang essence materialized on his fist, slowly dissipating as he gradually retracted his arm.

This revelation both unsettled and pleased him. When he continuously threw punches, sometimes Xuanhuang Mother Qi would manifest. If he could control it, his fists would become incredibly formidable. "You... you fellow," Ji Ziyue said, eyeing him with her large eyes, "even a cultivator of the Dao Palace Secret Realm, if they don't know your true capabilities and stand near you, could suffer a great loss." Ye Fan turned to face her. "Do you think your elder cousin will appear here?" he asked. "It's hard to say..." Ji Ziyue replied, a worried expression on her face. She added irritably, "You've nearly gotten me killed! The situation is complicated now; if my location is exposed, I might be in even more danger than you." Ye Fan shook his head. "Your Ji family's internal affairs are truly complex and cruel..." he remarked.

"You don't understand!" Ji Ziyue retorted, rolling her eyes but offering no further explanation. Instead, she sighed, "Ji Xia, what a waste..." She then gathered some leaves and covered the shattered remains with them.

Ye Fan paid no mind, but suddenly, Ji Ziyue's entire body erupted with divine radiance, and she radiated a powerful aura. "You..." Ye Fan exclaimed, utterly shocked, turning to immediately bolt skyward.

However, the surrounding space began to twist, rippling like water. Ji Ziyue, now radiating an ethereal sanctity, became the center of a flowing, hazy light that imprisoned everything in the area.

It was only then that Ye Fan noticed a divine talisman, shimmering faintly like lightning, clutched in her hand. Though shattered, it still emitted faint wisps of divine power, and it was this that had undone Ji Ziyue's restriction. "The Divine Light Escape Talisman," Ji Ziyue explained, "my elder sister Biyue gave it to Ji Xia, intending for her to transform into lightning, track me down, and harm me. I never imagined it would shatter here and end up saving me."

Ji Ziyue chuckled softly, her entire being radiating an immense, self-assured charm. She shone brilliantly, her skin appearing crystalline, and her whole person enveloped in a sacred aura.

At that moment, she was as fresh as a flowering tree dusted with snow, as light as a spring breeze caressing blossoms, and as ethereal as moonlight scattering. Her entire being appeared pristine, unblemished, ethereal, and sacred.

She turned to look at Ye Fan, then broke into a smile, a small dimple appearing on her left cheek, making her look both playful and adorable.

"Someone," she began, "you've taken such good care of me these past few days. How do you propose I should thank you?"

At this point, Ye Fan had nothing left to lose. "You can just give yourself to me," he said indifferently.

Ji Ziyue smiled sweetly and charmingly, her steps graceful and swaying as she moved lightly towards him. She pinched Ye Fan's cheek. "You little brat," she teased, "how dare you speak to me like that..." "Hey, hey, hey, Ji Ziyue!" Ye Fan protested. "I just risked my life to save you! You can't be ungrateful..." "Consider yourself lucky you still have some conscience and didn't abandon me and flee," Ji Ziyue said, tilting her head to look at him, a sweet smile perpetually on her face. "Otherwise, you'd be lying on the ground right now."

However, this made Ye Fan increasingly uneasy. "What do you want?" he asked, feeling a prickle of alarm.

Ji Ziyue flashed an incredibly enchanting smile. "I want to bite you!" she declared. As she spoke, her crystalline little canine teeth ground together with a soft *grinding* sound, and then she bit down.

After being held captive for so long, the one thing she most desired was to bite Ye Fan fiercely a few times; otherwise, she couldn't vent the resentment in her heart.

Ye Fan, constrained by her seal, couldn't move a muscle. Even with his formidable body, without divine power flowing, he couldn't withstand it. He grimaced instantly, crying out, "Isn't this a bit too intimate...?" Immediately after, he shrieked. Ji Ziyue, filled with immense resentment towards him, bit him repeatedly. "Men and women should not touch intimately! Don't do this!" Ye Fan yelled. "Go ahead and scream loudly," Ji Ziyue sweetly chirped. "Even if you scream until your throat breaks, it won't help..." Ye Fan was utterly speechless; the words sounded so odd. "Ji Ziyue, I beg you, show some mercy! You're going to bite me into a sieve!" "This little brat, only fourteen, yet he's already so precocious and bullying me..." Ji Ziyue muttered resentfully.

Ye Fan felt like he was enduring an inferno. This kind of 'punishment' was entirely new to him. "Ji Ziyue, don't go too far!" he cried out. "I *intend* to go too far! I'll bite you to death!" Her smile remained fixed as she continued to grind her teeth. "You're acting very unladylike. Biting people is unseemly..." Ye Fan, bitten to the point of tears, could only hear her thoughts: "Scream, scream with all your might, scream until your throat breaks..." Ji Ziyue appeared so graceful and beautiful, yet her current behavior left Ye Fan utterly speechless. "You're assaulting me..." Ye Fan reluctantly uttered, not wanting to use such a term, their dynamic... "Hmph, you little brat, you're only fourteen! What do you know about assault?" Ji Ziyue retorted, pinching him. "Ji Ziyue, you're a future immortal! This is quite undignified..." "Immortals are still people; they have anger too," she declared. "You've bullied me for so long, I wish I could bite you to death!" "Ahhh!" Ye Fan screamed. Ji Ziyue bit him once more, then finally stepped back. "Why are you wailing?" she asked. "I've been assaulted by a delinquent girl..."

Ji Ziyue's face immediately flushed crimson. "This brat is still so stubborn," she scoffed. "He truly needs to be taught a lesson!" "I yield! Please stop biting; I'm completely numb," Ye Fan pleaded. "Hmph, your words are truly distasteful," she retorted. Having vented most of her anger, Ji Ziyue finally felt a little better. "Are we even now? Can you release me?"

"You wish; this is just the beginning," Ji Ziyue said, her small dimple appearing as she lifted his chin, her smile utterly captivating. "You little brat, daring to covet my family's ancient scripture and then presuming to tease me—you're truly audacious." "What exactly do you want?" Ye Fan asked weakly. "Don't be so gloomy. Come on, little brat, give big sister a smile." Ji Ziyue lifted Ye Fan's chin again, her large eyes narrowing into crescent moons, her smile radiant. "I think we should swap our roles..." Hearing Ye Fan say this, Ji Ziyue's smile grew even brighter. "I will treat you very well," she promised. "Ah..." Another round of intense torment ensued. Half a day later, Ye Fan was finally free, his body covered in neat, regular rows of tooth marks. "Share half of the Xuanhuang Mother Qi with me!" she demanded. "I can't control it; I have no way to make it flow out," he protested. "Liar!" she accused. Relatively speaking, Ji Ziyue was still soft-hearted and did not torture Ye Fan with more extreme methods.

"You possess many secrets," she said, eyeing Ye Fan. "I intend to slowly uncover them: the green copper block, the Mother Qi of All Things, and your treasured body..." She then added, "My elder cousin wants to kill me, so we're in this together now. Let's cooperate for the time being. If we encounter her, I'll create an opportunity for you to get close. Given your strength, you'll definitely make her suffer a great loss!"

Ye Fan simply rolled his eyes. "If I were strong enough," he retorted, "I wouldn't have been imprisoned by you."

"I possess a secret treasure," Ji Ziyue said, rolling her eyes at him. "As long as my divine power circulates steadily, you naturally can't overpower me. My elder cousin certainly won't guard against you, so you're sure to succeed then."

"I'll see who else wants to deal with me," she declared. "Once things calm down, I'll root them all out." Ji Ziyue felt the external situation was too complex to show herself easily. She wanted to temporarily hide and discreetly observe who might be plotting against her. Suddenly, something occurred to her, and her eyes lit up with delight. "Judging by the time, the Taixuan Sect's disciple recruitment day is approaching. Why don't we hide inside the Taixuan Sect?" This region was home to endless mountain ranges, where the Taixuan Sect was located, and its one hundred and eight main peaks were not far from their current position.

The Taixuan Sect wielded immense power. In this entire region, no other sect could rival them, save for the Ji Family and the Yaoguang Holy Land.

"Even our Ji family would not easily provoke the Taixuan Sect," she continued. "If there's any place safest in this region, it is undoubtedly that sect. The Ji family won't send people to search there; as long as we remain hidden inside, there will be no danger." Two days later, Ye Fan and Ji Ziyue appeared in the mountain range where the Taixuan Sect resided. Before them, the mountains rose majestically, exuding a grand yet beautiful presence, truly a magnificent sight.

Among them, the one hundred and eight main peaks were the most splendid. Naturally, not all were visible at once; only about a dozen principal peaks were within sight, where immortal cranes soared, ethereal spirit halls floated amidst swirling clouds and mist, creating an incredibly serene atmosphere. They mingled with the crowd of hopeful disciples and successfully passed through the mountain gate without incident. "This place has one hundred and eight main peaks," Ji Ziyue said. "We should choose one that's relatively secluded and unfrequented." "Yes, that seems appropriate," Ye Fan agreed. Inside the Taixuan Sect, numerous disciples were maintaining order at the mountain gate.

Suddenly, Ye Fan spotted a familiar figure: clad in flowing white, graceful and elegant, strikingly beautiful, and possessing an otherworldly aura.

"She's actually here..." Ye Fan's heart jolted. He had recognized her: it was Li Xiaoman. While he had long suspected she couldn't have perished in the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land, he had never imagined she would join the Taixuan Sect.

"Did you meet someone you know?" Ji Ziyue asked, flashing a captivating smile. "Little brat, your expression seems a bit off. Don't worry, if you have a grudge, big sister will help you settle it!"
