69: Chapter 68 Trying to Escape?

Chang Yufei's Divine Soul was constantly trying to reconnect with her body.

After swallowing the blood drop, the barrier between her Divine Soul and body, which had felt like a chasm, had indeed vanished.

However, based on her perception, it would likely take another two or three days of painstaking effort to fully recover.

With her Divine Soul overdrawn, she had to slow down the reconnection process and wait for it to recover.

She looked at Li Fan, who was lying on the sofa.

The scene of that woman fiercely battling Li Fan flashed through her mind again.

From these glimpses, she had to realize that this woman named Nangong Miao was Li Fan's Dao Companion.

Furthermore, listening to their conversation, Li Fan had more than one Dao Companion—at least three to start with.

A strong sense of crisis welled up in her heart; how could she, a single person, compete against several others?

Chang Yufei completely ignored the fact that Li Fan had not yet agreed to be her Dao Companion.

She jumped straight to considering how to vie for his favor against these three women.

Watching Wen Xinran softly caress Li Fan's chest, she felt a sense of urgency.

"Recover quickly, I must recover quickly!"

Meanwhile, Wen Xinran's wicked little hands were indeed not very well-behaved.

She noticed that Li Fan was sleeping much more deeply than usual.

Consequently, her pair of jade-white hands grew bolder, attempting to reach into his collar.

Seeing this, Chang Yufei's Divine Soul fluctuated.

She was already slower than Nangong Miao; if she fell behind the Wen Xinran before her as well...

…how would she ever claim a place in Li Fan's heart in the future?

Just as Wen Xinran had reached half her arm inside, the terminal Li Fan was wearing suddenly rang.

"Yes, that's it, wake him up!"

However, Wen Xinran was quick-witted and shut off the terminal notification.

Li Fan merely mumbled a couple of words, turned over, and continued sleeping with his head pillowed on her thighs.

"That was close."

Wen Xinran sighed, glared fiercely at the terminal; it had almost ruined her good deed.

Who would have thought the terminal would ring again?

This time, no matter how fast her hands were, she couldn't stop Li Fan from waking up.

Li Fan grabbed the hand Wen Xinran had extended to turn off the terminal and said in terror,

"Stop touching... *cough, cough*"

"...It won't stand up anymore."

After saying this, he realized the person before him was Wen Xinran, and Nangong Miao had long since left.

He let out a long sigh of relief.

A complex mix of emotions welled up in his heart; he turned on his side and buried his head between her plump thighs.

"Xinran is the best... knowing how to cherish your husband and letting him use your lap as a pillow."

Seeing that Li Fan had already woken up, Wen Xinran had to abandon her plans and instead stroked Li Fan's head.

"Husband can rest his head for as long as he likes~"

Only Chang Yufei, who was on the side, saw her true colors.

This woman, if one day her cultivation surpassed Li Fan's, she would likely be no better than Nangong Miao.

Perhaps even worse, once all that pent-up emotion was released... she feared Li Fan's body wouldn't be able to hold up.

"No, I must recover quickly!"

"I must help Li Fan fend off these two wicked women."

Li Fan was unaware of Chang Yufei's inner thoughts.

He used his Spiritual Qi to brew a cup of health tea; although he knew the tea was likely useless, he still gulped it down.

It was just for peace of mind. After drinking two large cups, he finally remembered.

"Xinran, how many Medicinal Pills have been refined?"

Unexpectedly, Wen Xinran looked a bit embarrassed.

"Sister Miao took them all just now."

"She also said..."

"If you want them, be prepared and come find her."

"This time I can only count it as one day; there's still another day left."

After repeating this, Wen Xinran looked at Li Fan in confusion, as if waiting for him to unlock the meaning behind these words.

Li Fan naturally changed the subject and looked at Chang Yufei on the side.

"Has this person been cured by A-Miao?"

Seeing Wen Xinran nod, Li Fan began to consider how to deal with Chang Yufei.

He had no intention of taking Chang Yufei under his wing; after all, he couldn't even handle these three, adding another would be disastrous.

Moreover, the moment he thought of Chang Yufei's tone of "You are all just dogs following behind me,"

Li Fan felt a chill run down his spine; it was hard to imagine so many people fawning over her.

So he looked out the window and muttered,

"I need to find an opportunity to send her back."

Wen Xinran was surprised to hear him talking to himself.

"I thought Husband was going to take her in."

"So you were just treating her while you were at it?"

Li Fan nodded helplessly.

"This woman's attitude toward men is terrible; your husband doesn't want to be her simp."

"It's better to just honestly send her back."

Chang Yufei, who couldn't move a muscle, felt her heart burn with anxiety upon seeing that the two intended to send her away.

She desperately wanted to break free from her restraints and tell Li Fan to his face that she was not that kind of person.

Even if she were that kind of person, she would be willing to change for Li Fan!

Unfortunately, Li Fan couldn't hear any of this right now.

Li Fan opened the terminal to check what the message from the earlier ringing was.

[Your commission has been completed. Please proceed to the Xuanzhuan University commission hall to collect the items.]

It turned out that the spiritual material collection commission he had posted earlier was completed, and the person who accepted the task was a student from Xuanzhuan University.

Li Fan looked up and asked Wen Xinran if the medicinal herbs for refining Medicinal Pills were currently sufficient.

She shook her head, indicating that several scarce herbs had been used up, which were exactly the two kinds in the commission.

He had just been drained dry by Nangong Miao and was in need of supplements.

He certainly couldn't go ask her for the batch of Medicinal Pills Nangong Miao had taken away; otherwise, he might come back even more drained than when he left.

Therefore, Li Fan immediately decided to set off for Xuanzhuan University to collect the supplies.

His gaze swept over Chang Yufei on the side; he remembered having seen her at Xuanzhuan University before, so she must have been abducted within the university.

Now that her injuries were healed, it was the perfect opportunity to drop her off somewhere in Xuanzhuan University on the way.

Saying so, he acted; Li Fan had Wen Xinran process the other herbs first and wait for his return.

He then carried Chang Yufei, left the Spirit Refining Room, and set off for Xuanzhuan University.

With the commission permit and Wen Xinmei's flying shuttle, Li Fan quickly arrived at the familiar airport.

Carrying the box containing Chang Yufei's body, he sneaked around looking for a suitable place to dump the "corpse."

"It shouldn't be too crowded, but it must be on a main thoroughfare."

Not long after, he actually found a spot.

It was a secluded path between the airport and the portal to the Xuanzhuan University Secret Realm.

It was exactly the place where Chang Yufei had been caught by Mentor Lu Changxue.

Li Fan stealthily took her out of the box and leaned her against the side of the road.

Afterward, he put away the long box and followed the terminal's instructions to head to the commission hall.

Chang Yufei, who was unable to move on the spot, watched Li Fan gradually walk away.

She could only force down the anxiety in her heart and shift her thoughts.

"I cannot be hasty and let myself fall into disarray."

"There will be plenty of opportunities later."

Li Fan and she both belonged to Xuanzong University, and even the Spirit Refining Room was only a few floors above hers.

She wasn't afraid that Li Fan wouldn't agree to be her Dao Companion; she had seen so many tactics from simps.

When the time came, she would learn a trick or two, and even if it was just clumsy imitation, she didn't believe he would be able to refuse.

After making up her mind, she muttered to herself softly.

"Don't even think about escaping, Li Fan."

"I've got you hooked."
