Of course, Ye Fan hadn’t expected these two women to arrive together. What surprised him even more was that both Su Qingxue and Heather had broken through to the Reincarnation Realm. They were truly Queens in their own right.

"What are you two doing here?" Ye Fan asked with a smile.

Su Qingxue replied, "We came to help you, of course! We certainly don’t want you to die in battle and leave us as widows!"

Her tongue was as sharp as ever, leaving Ye Fan feeling utterly helpless. He couldn’t hold it against her, since she was there to help him, after all. Heather, on the other hand, was always gentle with him.

She said, "This group of Pharaohs dreams of immortality. Before their rebirth, they slaughtered many people, and after their rebirth, they killed even more to harness Life Force and reach their peak. Even the European Pope at the time didn’t dare to provoke them. They’re a group of fearless maniacs!"

"If we let them undergo another rebirth, I’m afraid more people will die," Ye Fan said. These old fiends definitely can’t be left alive.

"Exactly," Heather said. "They are about to reincarnate again soon because their life in this current incarnation is about to wither away!"

When Heather said "soon," she meant in at least ten more years. If it were any sooner, I’d love to ambush them during their reincarnation! Ye Fan thought.

"Alright, then we’ll go and fight them," he said. "How many are there?" This was his primary concern. If he could eliminate these top-tier opponents, his expulsion plan could proceed smoothly.

"There are five of them," Heather replied. "One Pharaoh and four Pharaohs."

Five of them. That’s a daunting number. Heather and Su Qingxue just broke through to the Reincarnation Realm. Even with me and Grassland Bear, that’s only four of us. We’re outnumbered, leaving one of them free to land a killing blow. Of course, my combat power is immense, enough to take on more than one. Still, if I had known, I would have called for the Frost Ice Iron General’s help!

"If that’s the case," Ye Fan proposed, "the two of you can handle one, while Grassland Bear and I will take on the remaining four."

At that, Su Qingxue shot him a glare, making him feel quite embarrassed.

Heather then asked, "Do you underestimate us women?"

"No, definitely not! I didn’t mean that at all!" Ye Fan said awkwardly.

"You just handle the Pharaoh," Su Qingxue declared. "Leave the four Pharaohs to us sisters!"

Ye Fan teased, "Are you sure you can handle it?"

"You can try us!"

Both Su Qingxue and Heather glared daggers at him.

Ye Fan straightened up and smirked. "Then I think I really will!" He stepped toward the two women. My intention is simple: subdue them both and then do those indescribable things!

However, the two women suddenly struck, catching him completely off guard.

"DAMN, THAT HURTS! IT HURTS!"

Ye Fan admitted defeat. His arm throbbed with pain, easily subdued by the two women.

"Convinced?" Su Qingxue demanded.

"I’m convinced, totally convinced!" Ye Fan quickly replied, then asked in shock, "How did your strength grow so quickly?"

These two women are no pushovers, he thought. I could handle either one alone, but together, they’re unbeatable!

"Qingxue and I have been jointly cultivating a Cultivation Technique passed down from ancient times—the Jade Maiden Heart Scripture!" Heather explained. "When we join forces, we can amplify our power threefold!"

Incredible! Ye Fan thought, but what slipped out of his mouth was, "But you two aren’t exactly ’Jade Girls’ anymore, are you?"

"AH!"

A tragic scene unfolded on the spot, with Ye Fan, the Killing God, as its victim. At this moment, I have the strongest urge to curse! Their combined strength is formidable. Does this mean my plans to handle both of them at the same time are doomed? This really sucks! Now I understand why they’re so confident about taking on four Pharaohs. With this kind of power, how could they not be?

Nevertheless, as a man with normal desires, Ye Fan wasn’t about to pass up an opportunity. I can only hope their abilities in *that* department are also tripled.

That night, while Su Qingxue and Heather were fast asleep, Ye Fan snuck over and reached a greedy hand toward Su Qingxue. She reacted instantly, swinging a slap at him. But Ye Fan was prepared. He grabbed her hand and pressed her down, ready to execute his wild plan.

Suddenly, a sharp smack landed on his head.

Ye Fan collapsed in unwilling frustration. He had calculated everything, but he had never anticipated that an enraged Heather could be such a formidable woman. He passed out, filled with resentment. Such a perfect opportunity, wasted! I’m a moron! If I’d just subdued Heather first, my ambitions would have been realized. Instead, I end up getting knocked out!

Instantly, the two women kicked him off the bed. If Ye Fan had been awake to see it, his heart would have surely shattered. The Jade Maiden Heart Scripture was indeed powerful.

「The next day」

Ye Fan woke up groggy. When he saw the two women already outside chatting, he knew his attempt had been a complete and utter failure. But I’m not discouraged, he thought. The road is long!

Seeing Ye Fan’s dejected expression, the two women nearly burst out laughing.

"Let’s get going," they told him.

"Oh? Got it."

Seeing his crestfallen face, the two women turned away with giggles. But they didn’t see the sly, lewd expression that replaced it. Clearly, he was already plotting something sinister.

...

Soon after, the trio arrived at the ruins of Ancient Egypt.

"Aren’t we supposed to be confronting those Pharaohs? What are we doing here?" Ye Fan asked, deeply confused.

But Heather explained, "Given the nature of those old fiends, they won’t be at their headquarters. They must be out searching for a suitable place to prepare for their rebirth!"

"What? But isn’t there still over a decade left?" Ye Fan felt a chill run down his spine.

"A decade is a very short time for us Martial Cultivators," Heather elaborated. "In fact, they start preparing the moment they awaken from their last rebirth! Each time they reincarnate, they become even more powerful."

After Heather’s explanation, Ye Fan finally understood. "I see now," he said. "If those Pharaohs successfully reincarnate, finding them again will be as difficult as climbing to the heavens!"
