Invincible Young Master in the City-Chapter 1474 - 1470: The Terms for Releasing Shen Yan

In a hotel suite in Hua Hai City, Xi He was watching Shen Yan, who was enveloped in a golden light in the living room. Shen Yan’s body seemed to have been reshaped, as she was completely surrounded by golden light, continuously spinning.

Xi He didn’t help Shen Yan heal directly but used some crystal stones with extremely high recovery power. Shen Yan’s body was gradually healing, though at a slow pace.

Soon, Ye Fan appeared at the doorway. Before Ye Fan could knock, Xi He’s voice was heard from inside: "Come in!" 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

Ye Fan opened the door and entered the room. As soon as he saw Shen Yan, he felt a surge of annoyance in his heart.

"Su Girl, still hiding from me? Do you think I can’t see you?" Xi He said coldly.

Su Girl revealed herself in the room, still somewhat fearful of Xi He, for Xi He could take her life at any moment. With Nuwa and the Nine Heavens Mysterious Woman’s cultivation sealed, among all the ancient cultivators that have appeared, only Liu Ye’s cultivation could compare with Xi He, and Liu Ye and Xi He were both friend and foe, neither infringing upon the other.

Ye Fan said, "Senior, controlling a human cultivator like this, is it truly a benevolent act? If you want to kill me, you can at any time, so why make things difficult for her?"

"If I wanted to kill you, would you still be alive today?" Xi He replied. "Remember the first time I saw you, when you were with your sect brother looking for Xiao Zhuo. You were a young man who hadn’t even reached the Golden Core Stage yet, and I thought you had potential. Later... you did many things I disapproved of, yet I didn’t kill you and even helped you many times... Except for Shen Yan’s matter, I didn’t help you and used you to keep her by my side..."

Ye Fan said nothing; indeed, as Xi He said, Xi He had many opportunities to kill him but never acted on them.

"You regard me as an ant within your grasp, controlling at will?" Ye Fan said.

"Don’t think of people too well or too bad either." Xi He looked at Ye Fan with a smile. "Ye Fan, I dare say I’ve been fair to you. I helped you in the past, even gave you the little white crystal. The green crystal of the Mysterious Woman was also given to you by Su Girl at my behest. With six crystals in hand, your body’s recovery speed increased, allowing you to recover from injuries quickly. I kept Shen Yan not to threaten or control you. I have my own purposes, and I don’t interfere with your mission to save Heaven’s Tribulation, nor can you interfere with my use of Shen Yan!"

Ye Fan said, "What terms must be met for you to let Shen Yan go?"

"The same as always: if you help that person regain their human body, I will return Shen Yan to you. Whether Shen Yan chooses to stay with you is up to your ability!" Xi He replied.

Ye Fan laughed coldly: "You give me Shen Yan’s empty shell, and she still holds resentment against me, unable to stay by my side. I respect her choice, so I won’t force her. How can I ensure her heart’s fury will subside?"

Xi He said, "I can’t help her; only you can. Giving her to you means I won’t interfere with her affairs anymore, but restoring her mindset is entirely up to you. If you don’t agree to this condition, don’t come asking for Shen Yan again!"

At this point, Ye Fan could attempt to defeat Xi He by joining forces with Su Girl.

But he knew the odds of winning were low.

He had to take Shen Yan with him because he couldn’t be sure of what Shen Yan would become if she stayed with Xi He—perhaps a merciless killer.

"Alright, I agree!" Ye Fan said. "I can help that person regain a human body!"

"Haha, Ye Fan, you finally agreed to help me. I thought you’d never change your principles, but it seems you’ll compromise for those around you!" Xi He laughed.

Ye Fan remained stern, not concerning himself with Xi He’s taunting words.

At this moment, the woman controlled by Xi He, always a soul body, angrily shouted: "Human, how can you help this evil force? You are harming me!"

Ye Fan looked at the woman, using a bronze mirror to reply: "My help isn’t intended to harm you. If you regain a human body, any choice you make is yours. If you don’t wish to stay with Xi He, you can self-destruct or leave forever..."

"Do you think I have a chance to leave her? Then she’ll control me, ensuring I can never escape." The woman shouted at Ye Fan.

Ye Fan shook his head slightly: "Can’t you already not leave her now?"

Xi He asked, "Ye Fan, who are you talking to? Is she saying something to you again? You shouldn’t listen to her!"

Ye Fan looked up at Xi He and said: "I’ve explained to her; I will help you with this, allowing her to regain a human body. But Senior Xi He, you should understand that helping a soul body regain a human body isn’t a simple task..."

Xi He’s expression turned cold as her gaze first fell on Shen Yan, seeming to say there’s Shen Yan’s usefulness.

But she quickly dismissed that thought, scanning Su Girl with a teasing look, and said to Ye Fan: "You have a woman right here, and... she can help with this!"

"Xi He, what are you planning?" Jiuyou Su Girl appeared very anxious.

Su Girl naturally knew what it takes to help a soul body regain a human body. Ye Fan needed a virgin girl, and besides Shen Yan, Jiuyou Su Girl was the best option.

Ye Fan glanced at Su Girl, shaking his head slightly: "Senior Xi He, I don’t think Su Girl is suitable!"

"Why not!" Xi He said coldly, "She’s your servant; claiming her is rightfully yours!"

"But she’s unwilling, and I only stay with women who willingly give themselves to me. Senior Xi He wouldn’t want to break my principles, right?" Ye Fan’s demeanor was icy, implying if you break the rules, I can always back out.

"What do you propose? Be with Shen Yan? You’ve said you’ll respect a woman’s choice; Shen Yan never thought of staying with you forever!" Xi He said.

Ye Fan said: "If not, then Senior Xi He, find someone suitable unless you can find a replacement..."

Xi He coldly scrutinized Ye Fan. Presently, indeed, the most suitable person was Xi He herself.

Xi He, sacrificing herself to help her woman regain human form, seemed justifiable.
