A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)

Chapter 2319 Return To Kransbay

“Wan'er, I need to step out for a bit. I always feel a bit uneasy about the situation over at Mount Kransbay.”

Before setting off, Ye Fan sought out Duanmu Wan'er to bid her farewell.

Ever since returning to the secret realm, Ye Fan has been cultivating here for a year.

However, throughout the year, apart from his training, Ye Fan was constantly preoccupied with the situation over at Mount Kransbay.

After all, the situation over there was truly bizarre, especially that tree, which made Ye Fan uneasy.

“Ye Fan, you are still concerned about that divine tree, right? This time, you can bring back another leaf. After a year, that divine tree should have grown quite substantially. If you bring a leaf back, perhaps I might be able to identify its species,” Duanmu Wan'er told him.

In their early years, trees all looked the same.

Previously, Duanmu Wan'er couldn't discern anything from the leaf that Ye Fan had brought. NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.

However, after a year of growth, the tree should have developed its own unique pattern.

With these distinctive patterns, there was no doubt that Duanmu Wan'er could potentially identify the species and origin of this divine tree.

Ye Fan nodded. “Mm, that would be best. After I discern the origin of this tree and understand the secrets of this divine tree, if it's harmless, I'll keep it. If it's harmful, I'll uproot it completely. This way, I can finally stop worrying about this all the time,” he declared.

He turned to Duanmu Wan'er and said apologetically, “Okay, Wan'er. That's all I have to say. I'll take my leave now. I originally wanted to leave Huangniu here to keep you company, but that stubborn creature insisted on leaving with me. You'll have to be alone for now.”

Duanmu Wan'er laughed and spoke softly. “It's okay, I'm used to it already. I've grown accustomed to solitude and being alone. I'm actually grateful that you spent the past couple of years with me, Ye Fan.”

Her stunningly beautiful face was always adorned with a gentle and refreshing smile.

An inexplicable pain surged in Ye Fan's heart when he heard her words.

He sighed and said in an apologetic tone, “Angie, I'm sorry. I've been wanting to help you find your brother. However, these past two years have been filled with endless trivial matters, and I simply couldn't find the time. Once I enter the god realm and settle my affairs, I will certainly help you fulfill this heartfelt wish.”

“Mm,” Angie softly murmured in agreement.

Lowering his voice, Ye Fan continued, “Forget it. Let Huangniu stay here. I'll sneak away in a bit, so don't let Huangniu know.”

Then, he sneakily glanced toward the end of the corridor where Huangniu was bathing, narcissistically combing its own fur with a comb.

The streak of yellow hair dyed years ago had now faded away.

“After I freshen up, I'll go out and pick out some stylish clothes, then head to the hair salon to get my hair dyed. Ye Fan and I will surely bewitch all the young ladies in the world.”

The more Huangniu thought about it, the more pleased it became.

Even while taking a bath, Huangniu had already begun to fantasize about being surrounded by admirers after leaving the secret realm.

“Ye Fan, when are we leaving? I've scrubbed myself so many times over here, I've practically scrubbed off all my fur. Aren't you leaving yet? Let's get going already. I can't wait any longer. Ye Fan? Are you deaf? Come in and give me a back rub. After the back rub, we'll leave.”

As Huangniu bathed, it loudly called out for Ye Fan.

However, there was still no response even after Huangniu bellowed for some time.

Huangniu felt that something was wrong.

Without bothering to finish its bath, it rushed out to find Ye Fan.

“Wan'er, where is Ye Fan? I called him over to give me a back rub. Why is this jerk ignoring me?”

Huangniu looked around everywhere, but it couldn't find any trace of Ye Fan.

Only Duanmu Wan'er was there, engrossed in her book.

“Stop searching. Ye Fan has already left.”

What?

“That jerk ran off without waiting for me? D*mn it!”

Huangniu's eyes were red with rage at that moment!

It almost spat out a mouthful of blood in rage.

A while ago, it had almost planned out everything that it wanted to do after getting out, but Ye Fan actually left without him.

Huangniu was now so angry it could kill Ye Fan.

“B*stard! Just you wait. Don't let me run into you. I won't let you off the hook!”

Huangniu was seething with rage, a constant stream of hot breath billowing from its nostrils.

Upon seeing its appearance, Duanmu Wan'er burst into laughter unexpectedly.

“Niu, Ye Fan wants you to stay and keep me company.”

“Impossible!” Huangniu exploded in disbelief right then and there. “He is out there having a blast but left me behind to guard this boring cave? I'm not that foolish. I'm going out right now to kill him!”

Naturally, Huangniu was not content to be trapped here.

With a huff, it turned around and jumped into the Well of the Thunderdrake.

The reason Huangniu waited to leave with Ye Fan was mainly because Ye Fan was cultivating the Raijin Thunderdrake.

By accompanying Ye Fan, the thunderstorm's impact on Huangniu could be mitigated, sparing it from excessive hardship.

However, that wasn't going to work now as Ye Fan had left on his own.

Huangniu had no choice but to endure the agony of the thunderbolt itself.

“F*ck that b*stard. I risked my life to save him, but he went back on his word and did this to me. He promised to take me to meet the girls, but instead, he left to have fun and left me back here. Once I

make it through the Well of the Thunderdrake, I'll surely tear him apart!”

From beneath the Well of the Thunderdrake, the agonized bellows of Huangniu echoed.

Meanwhile, Ye Fan had already left the secret realm of India.

After leaving, Ye Fan took a detour to catch a glimpse of Junie.

Upon seeing Ye Fan, she cast aside all pretense of dignity and image by running directly into Ye Fan's arms even though she was already the leader of a sect.

“Mind your image, okay?” Ye Fan cleared his throat and reminded her.

“Ha! That day when you went onto the Celestial Road, and that girl from Japan forcefully kissed you, why didn't you remind her to maintain her image then?” Junie snapped in displeasure.

She felt that Ye Fan was biased.

She had met Ye Fan earlier than Japan's Moon God, but Ye Fan seemed to be biased toward the latter.

At this, Ye Fan could only flash a helpless smile.

After spending just one day with Junie, Ye Fan left, ready to head toward Mount Kunlun.

Huangniu wanted to come out to flirt with women, but that wasn't Ye Fan's purpose.

A year had already passed, and now he had to go check on the situation at Mount Kunlun.

Nevertheless, Junie was determined to go along.

Left with no choice, Ye Fan had to take her along with him.

They traveled in silence.

Before long, the two of them arrived at Mount Kransbay.

Compared to a year ago, Mount Kransbay had undoubtedly become much more lively.

The once desolate mountains were now surprisingly adorned with numerous pavilions and towers.

And in front of each building, the respective national flags were proudly displayed.

Outside, vehicles were bustling ceaselessly, traversing the roads, and above, airplanes fly across the expansive sky.

No one knew that a previously desolate and uninhabited place would transform into a vibrant center of human activity.

At the entrance of the mountainous region, someone blocked Ye Fan's path.

The guard was about to drive Ye Fan away, but someone recognized Ye Fan and stopped the guard. “Are you out of your mind? This is Chu Tianfan, the very one who conquered the entire Mount Kransbay range. Do you have a death wish? How dare you deny him entry?”

Hearing that, the guard was startled and quickly stepped aside respectfully to let Ye Fan pass.

And soon, the news of Ye Fan's return spread throughout the Mount Kransbay region.

“Have you heard about Chu Tianfan's return?”

“Everyone better pay attention and avoid him when you see him from a distance. If anyone dares to mess with this pain in the butt, I'll come at you!

Upon learning of Ye Fan's return, the heads of martial arts from various countries hurriedly convened meetings.

They summoned their martial artists and reminded them to not offend Ye Fan.
