Chapter 461: Yan Bei Han's Predicament (Part 2)

"

Yan Bei Han let out a soft sigh.

Fang Che understood what she was sighing about and smiled bitterly, "This path is a shortcut. It's just a pity that Feng Yun took this step ahead of time, so Yan Bei Han can't take the same path. Otherwise, it would be following in someone else's footsteps, and even if she succeeds, more than half of the credit would still belong to Feng Yun."

"Yes. If I walk the path that others have walked, it's not an achievement, but rather following in someone else's footsteps and taking advantage. That kind of achievement is something I, Yan Bei Han would rather not have."

Yan Bei Han said.

"So..."

Fang Che smiled bitterly, "It's difficult. The most difficult part is that Feng Yun is already much older than you, and he took this step many years ago. But in the eyes of the elders, you and he are both from the younger generation, and when compared and treated equally, it puts you at an even greater disadvantage."

"The gap between you must be quickly narrowed, or else it will become unbridgeable in time. If you give Feng Yun a few more years to develop, you'll never be able to catch up."

Fang Che spoke with a sense of urgency.

Yan Bei Han instinctively furrowed her brows, recalling the time in the Yin Yang Realm when she had sought out Fang Che for advice, her hands supporting her cheeks as she gazed at his face. "Then what should I do?"

In that moment, Fang Che felt as if he had returned to the Yin Yang Realm.

His heart skipped a beat.

His pulse quickened, and he hurriedly controlled his emotions, turning his face away. "It's not that there's no solution."

Yan Bei Han also realized this, and a hint of a smile flashed in her eyes.

Every time she asked him like this in the Yin Yang Realm, he would feel uncomfortable and turn away. The same was true now.

Hmph, you!

I knew you were looking at me, not just staring blankly.

"What solution?" Yan Bei Han continued to ask.

"We can't take this path, but we can forge a new one. We can explore alternative routes!"

"For example..."

Fang Che calmed his mind and said, "For instance, we can consider the Secluded Mountain Gate. We can try to win them over, divide them, assimilate them, absorb them, or suppress them..."

Yan Bei Han's eyes lit up, and she murmured, "The Secluded Mountain Gate is indeed an option."

"Additionally, we can apply the same approach to some secret organizations. We can either subjugate them or eliminate them."

Fang Che said, "By pursuing multiple paths simultaneously, and then based on that, we can select suitable individuals to establish an independent intelligence organization outside of the Only Righteous Sect. If we can achieve this and the intelligence organization takes shape, then your core team will surpass Feng Yun's."

"The Only Righteous Sect's intelligence organization has already become semi-transparent. After so many years without new developments, the Guardians can even guess a lot based on their experience..."

Fang Che continued, "Therefore, if this side is suppressed, your side can immediately take effect. In this way, the importance and value will be perfectly demonstrated."

Yan Bei Han nodded thoughtfully.

"Moreover, although you're at a natural disadvantage as a woman, you also have a natural advantage. That is... you have a similar family status to me, and among those female geniuses with equal conditions, no one can easily be moved. But you can grasp them all at once!"

Fang Che slowly said, "This power can influence both your husband's and your family's side. Once you go out, no one will dare to provoke you... This is your most important capital."

Yan Bei Han's eyes truly lit up. "For now, this power belongs only to me!"

"But you two can't just play around. Whether it's a man or a woman, if you're together every day doing nothing, eventually, it will become boring, and you'll drift apart."

Fang Che reminded her seriously, "Feng Yun is already far ahead of you."

"I understand."

Yan Bei Han smiled confidently. "I know how to handle my foundation. It's just that I haven't had a goal yet. Now that I have a goal, it's not a big deal."

She gracefully retreated and sat down, saying calmly, "Night Demon, your idea is good. I'll consider it carefully."

Fang Che bowed his head. "Thank you, Lord Yan, for your praise. I merely offered a small contribution, and it's not worthy of your praise."

Yan Bei Han smiled and asked, "Night Demon, if I accomplish these tasks, which part would you be responsible for?"

Fang Che replied cautiously, "That depends on what level I've reached by then, or whether I'm still alive at that time."

Yan Bei Han laughed and said, "You won't die. You're so cautious that you won't even reveal your true self to me. How could someone like you easily perish? Isn't that right, Night Demon?"

"I accept your kind words."

Yan Bei Han sighed softly, wanting to say something but stopping short.

She never expected that this visit would yield such significant gains.

Fang Che had directly pointed out two paths for her future, and she would advance along both of them.

Looking at Fang Che, Yan Bei Han's heart became even more complicated. Whenever she had a problem, she sought Fang Che. Whenever she faced a dilemma, she turned to Fang Che. Whenever she encountered difficulties, she relied on Fang Che.

Indeed, she was right.

Under the heavens, perhaps only he would offer such advice to her, and only he could provide such suggestions.

---

A long, dark purple metal strip with a hint of purple was taken out by him and placed gently on the table.

The table at the Four Seas and Eight Directions Tower creaked under the pressure.

"This is the divine metal I promised you," Yan Bei Han smiled, pushing it towards him. "Night Demon, take a look."

"Thank you, Lord Yan," Fang Che hurriedly picked up the divine metal, careful not to damage the table.

Less than a third of the food on the table had been eaten, and if the table collapsed, it would be a waste of the precious cultivation-enhancing meal.

He caressed the divine metal, his eyes filled with satisfaction.

Indeed, it was a valuable material, almost identical to the one used by Ming Shi in the past.

"This time, I brought it to you specifically, but first, I tested you," Yan Bei Han smiled. "Do you resent me for it?"

"It's only right," Fang Che replied. "It's about value. If I were in Lord Yan's position, I would do the same. Not everyone has the qualifications to possess divine metal."

Yan Bei Han smiled. "I'm glad you understand."

"This is yours," she said, extending her hand. Her slender fingers glided over the ring, and rows of small jade bottles appeared in an orderly manner.

"These are elixirs for your daily cultivation, which can help you increase your cultivation base."

"These are... to enhance Divine Consciousness."

"These are for stabilizing your soul."

"These are for healing."

"These are for unleashing your potential in life-and-death situations without harming your Origin."

"These are..."

"... "

Over a dozen types of elixirs, each with ten bottles! Even Fang Che felt overwhelmed by this scene.

"This... is so much?"

But it wasn't over yet.

Yan Bei Han took out the Spirit Wine he had just drunk and poured out twenty bottles, "I didn't bring much this time, so you can keep these and drink them slowly."

Fang Che's throat moved as he swallowed hard, then he suddenly raised his head, "Elder Yan, this... is too much!"

Yan Bei Han spoke calmly, "When you trust someone, you trust them fully. Night Demon, I trust you, and I will continue to do so. No matter who you go with to conquer the world in the future, I will provide you with these initial resources."

"In the future, we might work together, sharing the sweet and bitter, and when we roam the world, there might be times when we are on opposing sides. These... are matters of the future, and I won't force you."

She smiled faintly, "I only want to be part of an exceptional genius's journey to the peak."

"But in the future, I will still try to recruit you."

Yan Bei Han heaved a sigh of relief and clapped his hands, "Alright, that's all. Are you satisfied?"

Satisfied! More than satisfied!

Fang Che was truly amazed.

To be honest, even he felt his heart and mind were in turmoil. If he were just the Night Demon and not Fang Che, Fang Che would have no doubt knelt down and pledged his loyalty at this moment!

Yan Bei Han's generosity far exceeded Fang Che's expectations.

Yan Bei Han stood up with his hands behind his back and walked to the window, gazing at the outside world with a calm expression.

She could understand Fang Che's feelings.

However, to be frank, while Yan Bei Han was indeed generous, she wouldn't be this generous to just anyone. If the Night Demon wasn't Fang Che, no matter how exceptional she was, she wouldn't have received so much from Yan Bei Han!

People are ultimately different.

But Fang Che's amazement and the calmness that followed made her sigh inwardly.

He was truly unmoved by fame or gain!

"Night Demon."

Yan Bei Han spoke softly, "I have to go now."

Fang Che was taken aback, "We haven't even finished this meal, and Elder Yan is leaving so soon?"

"Focus on your cultivation."

Yan Bei Han turned and looked at Fang Che, smiling, "With me here, you're not at ease. And you're worried that I'll follow you and discover your true identity."

"I, Yan Bei Han, would never do such a thing."

She smiled and took out a communication jade, shaking it, "From now on, we can stay in touch. If you have any troubles, you can come to me."

Then, she gracefully walked out.

Her white cloak fluttered as she instantly reached the door.

Fang Che stood up to see her off.

At the door.

Yan Bei Han turned and smiled, "The food is delicious, but if you can't finish it, pack it up. Let the women you keep at home have a taste too."

She repeated these words.

In her heart, she thought: I invited her to a meal, after all.

Fang Che: "... Truly..."

Yan Bei Han laughed, waved her hand, and left with Hong Yi.

Like a white cloud, she reached the staircase and turned back, saying, "Take care!"

Her small, fair hand waved lightly.

Her white figure disappeared.

Hong Yi remained at the staircase, turning to look at Fang Che, her gaze deep and probing, finally smiling faintly, "I'll see how far you can go."

After leaving, she didn't mention names again.

But this sentence was enough.

Hong Yi waved her hand and left.

Fang Che stood at the door, still seeing a small, fair hand waving in his mind.

After a while, he returned to his room.

Only then did he sit down wearily.

This time, Fang Che truly felt the pressure of dealing with such a beauty. It was more than he had felt at the Seal God Palace, or when he was with Feng Xing.

Sometimes, Fang Che wondered why he felt so pressured by Yan Bei Han, even though she didn't give him a strong sense of oppression.

“It’s still the aftermath of the Yin-Yang Realm.”

Fang Che sighed.

It had to be said that when he entered this room, the shock of her exceptional beauty was like a warning shot.

If Fang Che didn't know Yan Bei Han, if he hadn't spent ten years in the Yin-Yang Realm with her, if he was just the Night Demon, he wouldn't have felt that kind of impact.

But Fang Che was all three.

This meal made Fang Che truly understand the meaning of 'a beauty that can topple a country', and what it meant to be 'a beauty that can shake the world'.

"So there really are women like this in this world. Too captivating!"

"But the suggestions I made today... were actually quite good."

Fang Che thought that if Yan Bei Han followed his suggestions, how should he respond?

His suggestions were undoubtedly made with Yan Bei Han's best interests in mind and were definitely for her benefit.

However, there were countless other considerations and purposes from these suggestions.

Fang Che pulled down the window curtain and made two large bundles, packing away the elixirs and Divine Metal.

Then he asked the waiter to pack up the food.

Although Yan Bei Han teased him a few times, Fang Che couldn't let go of these valuable items. He wouldn't give up due to a matter of face; to be blunt, just this meal was enough for an ordinary family to exchange for gold and silver and eat for a year.

How could Fang Che give up due to face? He would take it back, and he and Ye Meng could have a good meal. Let this girl also taste some delicious food.

What?

Leftovers?

What's wrong with a husband eating leftovers? Is it dirty? He'll discipline her with family rules. Then Fang Che spent half the afternoon in the Four Seas and Eight Directions Tower, enjoying the fragrance of flowers with the door closed. It was only when dusk arrived, and the sky darkened, that he left, carrying a large bundle on his back and holding another in his hand.

The disadvantages of not having a Spatial Ring were becoming evident. After being accustomed to having one in the Yin-Yang Realm, Fang Che felt out of place without it.

As dusk approached, it was the most relaxed moment of the day.

Numerous workers were heading home, their backs laden with belongings. Fang Che seamlessly blended into the crowd, unnoticed.

However, Fang Che circled around, changing his appearance several times before returning to Scholar's Residence.

Ye Meng was busy selecting vegetables.

"Stop that, I brought back some vegetables," Fang Che said excitedly.

"What vegetables? You actually brought back vegetables?"

Ye Meng peered over, "These vegetables are so beautiful and translucent. But... aren't these leftovers?"

"Yes, they're good for cultivation. I've barely eaten a tenth of them. I saw they were being wasted, so I packed them up. You won't think I'm dirty, will you?"

Fang Che explained.

He skillfully used his words: "I ate them!" Ye Meng rolled her eyes, "These are things that can enhance cultivation. Even if they're not your leftovers, I wouldn't mind if they were someone else's. What's the big deal? I'll just reheat them, rearrange the plating, and they'll be as good as new."

"Great idea!"

Fang Che laughed, "There's also some good wine. It's perfect for us to drink together."

"Oh, who's so generous?" Ye Meng was puzzled.

"It's from an important person. They've had their fill of these things and don't need them for cultivation anymore. They were specially prepared for me."

Fang Che coughed.

Ye Meng rolled her eyes and suddenly leaned in, sniffing Fang Che's body, "It smells so good. Is it floral? Or several kinds? No, there's also a faint, elegant scent."

Fang Che's eyes widened.

Ye Meng, confident in her assessment, smiled and said, "It's from a woman, right?"

Fang Che nodded, "Yes, a woman."

"Quickly bring her in!" Ye Meng urged.

"What?!" Fang Che was startled.

"I really can't take it anymore..." Ye Meng puffed up her cheeks, encouraging, "Just bring her back. Tell her I don't mind."

Fang Che rolled his eyes, "You think you're so desirable, but will someone like that look at me? Besides, she's an important person... You little brat, always thinking wild thoughts. Relax, no other woman will compete with you!"

Ye Meng's heart was at ease, but she said, "I really don't mind."

"Hehe..."

Fang Che tactfully changed the subject, "Quickly heat up the food and let's eat. Tonight, let's have a good drink."

"Okay."

Ye Meng enthusiastically started working.

Fang Che hurried to the study to organize the items.

From the study, he entered the basement, the place where Mu Lin Yuan had recuperated. Now, it had become Fang Che's treasure trove.

"Oh, it's too unsafe! What if we attract thieves?" Fang Che felt a bit dejected.

"When will my Spatial Ring arrive?"

Ye Meng's cooking skills were quite good. Without damaging her spiritual power, she quickly reheated the vegetables and arranged them on a plate. She also used vibrant vegetables to create a few flower decorations.

Instantly, the food was visually appealing and aromatic, no longer resembling leftovers.

Fang Che brought out a bottle of spiritual wine given by Yan Bei Han and opened it.

Ye Meng drew the curtains, blocking the night pearl's light. She blew out the oil lamp and lit two thick red candles."

The atmosphere is perfect."

"It's so delicious!" Ye Meng ate with satisfaction, her mouth oily.

Fang Che looked at her lovingly and smiled, "Then eat more."

He gently wiped the oil from the corners of her mouth.

Ye Meng giggled, picked up her wine glass, and clinked glasses with Fang Che. They both drank, feeling a rush of spiritual energy and an indescribable comfort.

She giggled, "Tonight... I'll reward you."

Fang Che's eyes lit up with desire, "How about... while we eat, you feed me, and then you turn around and..."

"Get lost!"

Ye Meng's face turned red, "Drink your wine!"

Fang Che rubbed his nose and muttered, "I was just saying..."

After the meal, Ye Meng unexpectedly broke through to the King Rank First Grade, and her spiritual power continued to surge, reaching the peak of King Rank First Grade.

The remaining spiritual power was still stored in her meridians, ready to be utilized.

Fang Che, however, did not break through, indicating that the effects were most potent during the first consumption.

"Finally, King Rank... It's so difficult." Ye Meng felt like she had become invincible.

Her body was brimming with vigor.

After clearing the table, Ye Meng was eager to try her skills. She assumed a fighting stance.

"Come, let's spar!"

Fang Che's eyes lit up, "Okay!"

He took a quick step and carried Ye Meng into the bedroom.

Ye Meng let out a sound, both surprised and amused. She playfully hit Fang Che, "I meant sparring outside... not this... You, you..."

Fang Che mumbled, "That won't do. If we're seen outside, I'll be at a disadvantage. In the room, it's fine. I didn't expect you to be so open-minded... When we have time, we'll go outside..."

"That's not what I meant... Ugh..."

"I know... When we have time, I'll fulfill your wish... This is a bit perverted, but I like it..."

"You jerk..."

"..."

The resources provided by Yan Bei Han allowed Ye Meng and Fang Che to spend a harmonious night together, a night that could be described as 404.

Yan Bei Han, who had delivered the 'leftovers', was now trekking through the wilderness with Sun Xiaoyang.
