Chapter 545 -545: The Metamorphosis of the Beautiful Youth
The only one who had gone to a distant place to train was Jiang Fan.
There was no doubt that the approaching person was Jiang Fan!
“Finally here!”
Wu Manyue frowned, glaring coldly at the newcomer.
As the wind and snow drew closer.
A young man in a long black robe appeared, stepping through the whirling snow and wind.
His robe fluttered in the breeze, and his ink-black hair flowed like a waterfall.
A simple silver silk belt wrapped around his waist, highlighting his balanced and slender physique.
In his strides, his eyes gleamed like mirrors reflecting autumn waters.
The corners of his lips curved upward in a confident and gentle smile, like peach blossoms blooming in the early spring.
What was most captivating.
His skin was very fair, reflecting a faint glow in the sunlight as if it could luminesce.
Whiter than the falling snow.
So white that even women would envy it.
Wu Manyue stared blankly.
The image of the graceful young man etched deeply into her pupils.
In her mind, the phrase “a jade-like gentleman” surfaced uncontrollably.
The black-clad youth before her matched this phrase perfectly.
“Such a handsome person?”
“Since when did the Nine-Sect have someone like this?”
Wu Manyue’s eyes became slightly dazed.
She noticed that the person was going to pass by her.
She unconsciously averted her gaze.
Slightly bashfully lowering the hands crossed in front of her chest and tidying her wind-ruffled hair.
Her expression showed a hint of unease.
Even someone as naturally alluring as Wu Manyue.
Faced with a man who moved her heart, could not avoid feeling a bit shy.
But.
What left Wu Manyue stunned on the spot was.
The young man did not pass by her but stopped beside her.
He frowned and said, “Who are you waiting for?”
Eh?
This voice?
Wu Manyue turned her head in disbelief.
Upon closer inspection, the brows, eyes, nose, and mouth—who else could it be but Jiang Fan?
“It’s you?” Wu Manyue exclaimed in surprise, “How, how have you changed so much?”
The previous Jiang Fan, though considered handsome.
But having seen many extraordinary men in the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion, Jiang Fan’s appearance didn’t stand out much to her.
However, after only a few days.
Jiang Fan seemed to have undergone a complete transformation.
Making her feel amazed.
So much so that she didn’t recognize him at first glance as Jiang Fan.
Jiang Fan couldn’t be bothered to respond, coldly stating, “It’s almost time to depart, so why don’t you explain the mission?”
Wu Manyue’s heart was unable to calm its shock.
While observing Jiang Fan’s glowing white skin, she said:
“This mission, surprisingly, has something to do with you.”
Jiang Fan was astonished.
It has something to do with me?
Wu Manyue circled Jiang Fan, scrutinizing him incessantly, and said:
“Do you remember Concubine Yunxia?”
“The intelligence you extracted from the Golden Claw Iron Wolf indicated that Concubine Yunxia holds an unknown quantity of Demon Emperor Essence Blood.”
“Now that the decisive battle between the two races is near, she must be eliminated as a threat.”
“So our special mission is to ambush and kill Concubine Yunxia.”
Jiang Fan was taken aback.
He said, “Is this some kind of joke?”
“The strength of the Demon Emperor Concubine couldn’t be weak.”
“And wouldn’t there be powerful guards by her side?”
“Us disciples going to ambush, isn’t that seeking death?”
Such a mission would be extremely dangerous even for elders to execute.
Let alone for disciples?
Wu Manyue continued to marvel at Jiang Fan, replying:
“You’re overthinking it!”
“Even if we disciples wanted to ambush ourselves, the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion wouldn’t allow us to mess things up.”
“The real task of killing is assigned to elders level strong practitioners drawn from the Nine-Sect.”
“We only need to ambush at the exit of the Valley of the Dead and eliminate any escapees.”
“To prevent the Essence Blood of the Demon Emperor from leaking out, undermining our efforts.”
So that’s how it is.
Jiang Fan let out a long breath.
Simply assisting the experts in completing the task was much more straightforward.
Although there was still a considerable risk, if the reward was training at the Nascent Soul Tribulation Land, it was entirely worth a try.
“Alright! Where are the other team members?” Jiang Fan nodded.
A mission of such importance wouldn’t involve just a few of them.
“They’re waiting at the foot of the mountain.” Wu Manyue retracted her gaze from observing him.
As soon as she finished speaking.
Jiang Fan used a movement technique, leaping over the Great Wall and heading straight to the foot of Boundary Mountain.
He had no intention of traveling with Wu Manyue.
This made Wu Manyue bite her silver teeth slightly:
“Bastard, just because you got more handsome, you think you can be arrogant?”
“Don’t think I’ll forgive you!”
“After the mission, I’ll make sure to settle all the previous scores!”
“Of course, considering your handsomeness, a bit of leniency isn’t out of the question…”
At the foot of Boundary Mountain.
Jiang Fan saw several familiar figures from afar.
They had also seen Jiang Fan.
Although they were also shocked by Jiang Fan’s transformation, they had fought side by side for many days.
They recognized him at a glance.
“Ha! What did I say? Junior Brother Jiang would definitely come.”
Liang Feiyan stretched out her hand and laughed heartily:
“I won! A bet’s a bet!”
“Come on, hand them over!”
Ouyang Jun, Xie Liushu, Hua Xiangchen, and Li Shiqian.
Grimacing, they each took out a Dust Heart Pill and handed it to Liang Feiyan.
Only Xia Chaoge stood alone.
Holding a Demon Wolf by herself, she watched the scene with a faint smile.
“What is this?” Jiang Fan asked, approaching in puzzlement.
Li Shiqian lamented:
“We lost a bet!” freēnovelkiss.com
Uh—
Jiang Fan found out after asking.
They had made a bet on whether Jiang Fan would participate in this mission.
Except for Liang Feiyan, they all thought Jiang Fan wouldn’t come.
Because Wu Manyue had suffered so much at Jiang Fan’s hands.
They believed Jiang Fan would avoid her, let alone join in an event she organized?
In the end, only Liang Feiyan guessed correctly.
“Hehe! Four Dust Heart Pills, plus the one my master awarded me, when I return, I can break through to the Fifth Level of Core Formation.”
Liang Feiyan clasped her fists and smiled at Jiang Fan: “Haha, Junior Brother Jiang is my lucky star.”
“They all thought you’d be afraid of Wu Manyue.”
“Only I knew that with Junior Brother Jiang’s skills, Wu Manyue wouldn’t be able to contend with you!”
Ouyang Jun and the others pulled long faces.
Their faces were full of regret.
They had each accomplished marvels on the battlefield.
Thus, the sect had exceptionally rewarded them with a Dust Heart Pill each.
But now, they’d lost them all.
Li Shiqian lamented, “Junior Brother Jiang, it’s all your fault. You have to compensate us!”
The group couldn’t help but laugh and cry.
Jiang Fan smiled as well and said, “Alright, alright, I’ll compensate you.”
He took out ten Revitalizing Pills and handed them to Li Shiqian: “Share these among yourselves.”
During the days of seclusion, besides cultivating, he had made time to refine batches of Revitalizing Pills and Three-step Drunk.
One hundred of each.
Enough to last for a while.
“Ah? I was just kidding!” Li Shiqian was startled and quickly tried to return them.
Jiang Fan said, “This mission has some dangers; everyone should have two each as a precaution.”
Before him were all familiar faces.
He no longer wanted to hear news of anyone perishing.
That feeling was too painful.
Li Shiqian was moved, “Junior Brother Jiang, how should I repay you?”
Counting it up, Jiang Fan had saved her once at the Boundary Mountain Peak.
And had given her multiple Spirit Pills afterward.
Xie Liushu joked and said, “You could throw yourself into his arms.”
“Just so happens that Junior Sister Liu Qingxian has another mission; you should seize the opportunity.”
“Once she returns, you won’t even get close to Junior Brother Jiang…”
“Ow! Ow~”
Before he finished speaking.
A few Iron Balls had him holding his head and fleeing, yelping in pain.
Jiang Fan smiled wryly.
He took out a bottle of Revitalizing Pills and handed it to her: “This is yours.”
Xia Chaoge glanced at the jade bottle containing ten Revitalizing Pills, a smile appearing on her pretty face.
“Thank you.”
She accepted them gracefully.
Jiang Fan, on the other hand, was confused.
He thought Xia Chaoge would refuse, saying something about overstepping their master-disciple relationship as she did last time.
But this time, she accepted directly.
Suddenly.
Jiang Fan felt a pair of fierce eyes glaring at him.
He looked over, finding it was the Demon Wolf Xia Chaoge was holding.
Its entire body was black, except its claws glowed with golden light.
Jiang Fan was surprised: “This Demon Wolf looks very familiar.”
