Chapter 114 – She Returns
(Mustang: Hey guys, this is the Sixth Chapter for this week.)
“Bi Fan, the young miss has returned.” Jiao Chaun, one of the Yu Nu Feng girls, came running up to Bi Fan’s doorstep.
It goes without saying that Bi Fan had been busy practicing. He quickly got up, and came out of his room.
Yan Yu Si’s face, her smile, and her voice resurfaced inside Bi Fan’s mind, and his heartstrings started to vibrate again.
It had been a while since he had last seen her.
Now, that he intended to pursue her in the future, he couldn’t even describe her dazzling beauty anymore. To him, Yan Yu Si’s beauty transcended that of an angle, which had descended downwards from the heavens, to grace the world mortal men.
Bi Fan simply couldn’t wait to see Yan Yu Si, and so, he quickly accelerated his pace, as he made his way towards her residence.
“Bi Fan, don’t go so fast, wait for me, ah.”
Bi Fan pretended as if he didn’t hear her, and continued to rush towards Yan Yu Si’s residence.
In a matter of moments, he finally reached the doorstep of her residence, and could hear her talking and laughing along with Xiao Feng.
Bi Fan couldn’t help as that feeling of nervousness returned to his being, especially since he didn’t think very highly of himself.
“Bi Fan, you were going so fast just then, why did you stop? Don’t you want to go in now?” that same girl finally caught up to him, panting.
“Bi Fan, ah, come in.” Yan Yu Si realized that Bi Fan was waiting outside, and called him in.
Bi Fan was extremely excited. He hesitated for a moment, and then finally went inside.
The moment he laid eyes on Yan Yu Si, his heart started pumping violently.
He hadn’t seen her in a while. She had become even more beautiful, mature, and even more charming than he remembered.
Bi Fan looked at Yan Yu Si for a brief moment, and then looked away, as he simply couldn’t stare her; he still didn’t have the courage to look her in the eye.
Yan Yu Si carefully sized Bi Fan up for a moment, and then said: “Bi Fan, I didn’t expect that your strength would progress so quickly, you’ve already reached the ‘enormous strength’ layer!”
Yan Yu Si was totally surprised, since she had known Bi Fan from the day he had started practicing martial arts, which wasn’t long ago.
Bi Fan’s was progressing a lot faster than Yan Yu Si could’ve ever imagined, and she simply couldn’t comprehend it, so naturally, she was very interested in knowing more.
“Bi Fan, how did you managed to achieve this? Even the Deputy of the Sect isn’t capable of training anyone up this fast, ah….” Yan Yu Si asked in an alarmed tone.
Bi Fan replied: “I entered into the Devil’s Abyss. After training on the fringes of life and death, for a few months, and with circ.u.mstances favoring me, I was able to promote my strength to its current level.”
Bi Fan had suddenly become very honest, but he still continued to look down, as he still didn’t have enough courage to look at her.
Whatever little courage he had managed to muster, had already been completely obliterated.
In front of Yan Yu Si, Bi Fan had always felt lowly, and this situation still hadn’t seen any change. If Bi Fan managed to oust Yan Yu Si’s achievement, then maybe he’d be able to rid himself of his inferiority complex.
It was very crucial for him to rid himself of this inferiority complex. Unless he was able to do so, he would never truly be able to pursue Yan Yu Si.
“Miss Yan Yu Si, I must out do you; just wait, one day I’ll be stronger than you, and when that day comes, I will boldly tell you about my feelings. I’ll even declare that ‘I love you’ and the whole world will know it.” Bi Fan’s heart cried within; he wasn’t the kind to give up easily.
“Good! Good! It was bold of you to enter into the Devil’s Abyss. No wonder you’re progress so fast.” Yan Yu Si was pleasantly surprised.
Regardless of what Bi Fan believed, his value in Yan Yu Si’s eyes had already started reaching new heights. She was under the impression that she had unearthed a new genius, and if Bi Fan managed to achieve something spectacular in his lifetime, then she’d feel very happy, and even honored.
“Young Miss, during my adventures in the Devil’s Abyss, I managed to procure some good stuff.” Now that he was in front of Yan Yu Si, Bi Fan really didn’t want to hide too much, so he started taking out the Jungle Python eggs, and the Ogre flower petals. However, he decided to take out only a few spare petals, and not the whole lot, since he didn’t want to invite any suspicions from her.
Once the Jungle Python eggs were lined up, Yan Yu Si’s expression changed to a very surprised one; and the moment she saw the Ogre Flower petals, her shock escalated to a whole new level.
“Beast Pet Eggs? What Beast laid these eggs? Are those….are those Ogre Flower petals?! Yes, they are!”
Xiao Feng also started to smile: “Hey, Beast Pet eggs, I also want one; can I have one?”
She obviously didn’t know what she was looking at; otherwise she would have known that the real treasure was the Ogre Petals, and not the eggs.
Bi Fan replied: “These eggs were laid by a Jungle Python. Xiao Feng, if you want one, you can take it.”
The moment she heard the word ‘Jungle Python’, Xiao Feng jumped back, and ducked as far away from the eggs as possible.
“Snake eggs, eee… I don’t want them, they are so terrifying!” Xiao Feng looked at Bi Fan, and said.
Yan Yu Si said: “Bi Fan, please put the Jungle Python eggs away, none of the Yu Nu Feng girls are going to like knowing that they are here.”
Bi Fan obediently put the Eggs away, and felt a relief surge through his heart as he did. He was just pretending to be generous, but if he was asked to give the remaining of the eggs, to the students at Yu Nu Feng, then he wouldn’t have done it willingly.
“Bi Fan, how did you manage to procure these Ogre Flower petals, they’re a very valuable treasure.” Yan Yu Si asked.
Bi Fan didn’t tell her about the incident regarding the Ogre Flower, and just told her that he found them drifting astray, as he thought that it was better to conceal the truth.
Bi Fan didn’t want to hide the truth from Yan Yu Si, but knew it quite clearly, that telling her the truth could cause trouble, which is why he decided to vote against it.
“Bi Fan, the Ogre Flower petals, I’d really like a couple, can I have two of them?” Yan Yu Si asked in an inquiring tone.
“Sure, take them all if you like, it doesn’t matter.” Bi Fan smiled.
Anyway, he had a lot more of them stashed away inside his ring, so he really didn’t mind being generous about them.
“No, you keep them; too many are useless for me.” Yan Yu Si picked up two petals, and gave one to Xiao Feng.
“Xiao Feng, this will help you make the big breakthrough. When the time comes, you can use this to enter into the ‘Emerging from the Womb’ layer.” Yan Yu Si told her.
Xiao Feng nodded without understanding the situation. She obviously didn’t know how to use one.
Yan Yu Si quickly told her what they really were, and one could tell from Xiao Feng’s blush, that she was quite embarra.s.sed that she didn’t know anything about them.
“Bi Fan, you have to partic.i.p.ate in the Jiu Yu Hidden Dragon tournament, are you up for it? And, would you be able to rank in the top ten in the Disciple’s tournament?” Yan Yu Si asked.
Now that the subject was combat, Bi Fan finally raised his head, as he said: “Yes, I am ready. Finishing in the top ten of the disciple’s tournament is a trivial matter for me.”
His tone was confident, and he made sure that his words didn’t sound exaggerated either.
Yan Yu Si nodded, and said: “That’s good. Well, you also have a personal contest against Luo Sheng….it’s best to not kill him; otherwise you will end up in a lot of trouble.”
“I know the severity of the matter.” Bi Fan said.
Luo Sheng was backed by his grandfather, Luo Xiao Tian, which is why Bi Fan wouldn’t be able to take his case properly. The only way of killing him was to do it in a mysterious manner; otherwise, Luo Xiao Tian will certainly create a lot of trouble.
Luo Xiao Tian is very highly placed in the Quinyang Sect, and could spur trouble for Bi Fan in many ways, and even Ling Xin Ya wouldn’t be able to defend him properly.
Bi Fan’s goal was to simply defeat Luo Sheng, and he really wasn’t anxious about it either.
To put in plainly, Luo Sheng was a clown, who simply couldn’t match up to Bi Fan, no matter how hard he tried.
Bi Fan’s expression was extremely resolute, since he was thinking about Ying Tian, and the humiliation that he had suffered at the man’s hands, and the blazing fire in his heart had started to flame once again.
“Ying Tian, sooner or later, I’ll surpa.s.s you, and I’ll do you ten times over. I will not kill you, but I will enjoy as I humiliate you!” Bi Fan made a vow within the secrecy of his heart.
“The Jiu Yu Hidden Dragon tournament is very important for making our Quinyang Sect famous.” Yan Yu Si said.
Yan Yu Si deserved to be called the daughter of the Sect’s master, as she was always thinking about Quinyang Sect’s reputation.
Yan Yu Si, it was obvious, a.s.sociated herself more with the Quinyang Sect, than she did with the Xuannv Palace.
“Ah, I will work as hard as I can.” Bi Fan said. But his heart was thinking something entirely different: “Miss Yan Yu Si, just you wait and watch; one day, you will admire me.”
