At that moment, Ye Fan grew bolder, taking liberties as he spoke.

CRACK!

"AH!"

Suddenly, Ye Fan cried out as the Seven-Colored Demon Empress viciously twisted his arm, nearly snapping it in two. A searing pain shot through him.

"It’s broken! It’s broken!" Ye Fan howled helplessly.

The Seven-Colored Demon Empress warned, "If there is a next time, I’ll chop your hand off!"

"Yes, yes, yes!" Ye Fan answered with difficulty.

Only then did the Seven-Colored Demon Empress release him. "It’s too late for you to recover now," she said.

"I know," Ye Fan admitted honestly. Indeed, it was too late. He was in an extremely weakened state, as his very origin had been damaged this time. This was not an injury that ordinary spiritual materials could heal.

The Demon Empress looked at him. "It seems I’m the only one who can help you."

"How?" Ye Fan asked.

The Seven-Colored Demon Empress flicked her sleeves, and a white silk ribbon shot out, wrapping around Ye Fan and tossing him onto the bed. He yelped in pain.

Then, the Demon Empress pounced on him, and he instantly understood her intentions. He let out a sigh of relief. If I had known this was the plan, she could have just said so! Why go through such a dramatic scene? This might be thrilling for some, but for me, it’s just horrifying.

The Demon Empress sharply commanded, "Close your eyes!"

"Oh!"

Ye Fan could only helplessly close his eyes.

She then began to kiss him, clearly intending to replicate what had happened that other day. Although she had roamed the Divine Domain for many years, she was a complete novice in these matters. Once she had covered his eyes, she finally knew what to do. Of course, it wasn’t that she was entirely clueless, but at this crucial moment, she found herself feeling shy and unsure of how to proceed. Meanwhile, Ye Fan waited with growing anxiety.

This is something I have to take the lead on! I’m the experienced one here! Is there anyone in the world with more experience than me? Probably not!

With that, he took the initiative, flipping their positions and pinning the Demon Empress beneath him.

The Seven-Colored Demon Empress, who had been about to push him away, froze. Perhaps it was because she had feelings for him that she allowed Ye Fan to do as he pleased, offering no resistance.

Moving with practiced ease, Ye Fan soon set them on the right course. Without a doubt, the Demon Empress could now feel his powerful vigor. However, she knew this wasn’t the time for enjoyment; she had to focus on helping him restore his Origin Power.

His Origin Power was severely damaged and could not be repaired by external means. Thus, with Ye Fan leading the charge, the Seven-Colored Demon Empress began transferring her own Origin Power into his body. Ye Fan didn’t overthink it; he only felt himself growing stronger, more potent.

After an hour, the Demon Empress had transferred all she could. Now that her task was complete, she wanted to push Ye Fan away. However, she knew that if she stopped him now, he would be unable to bear it. So, she didn’t push him away, instead letting him have his way.

When Ye Fan realized she wasn’t resisting him, he quickened his assault. Without a doubt, even the mighty Seven-Colored Demon Empress could not withstand him. She let out a series of muffled moans, but it was in vain.

Spurred on by the sounds, Ye Fan became even wilder, completely uninhibited. To him, this was Heaven. As the force of his impacts grew stronger, the Demon Empress could no longer bear it and had to circulate her own power just to endure.

Another hour passed before it was finally over. The Seven-Colored Demon Empress lay limp in Ye Fan’s arms, completely drained of strength.

Ye Fan whispered tenderly, "Zi Xuan!"

A gentle, embarrassed look appeared in the Seven-Colored Demon Empress’s eyes. She had thought time and again about severing this ill-fated connection with Ye Fan, but in the end, they were always entangled once more. Perhaps I truly can’t let him go. Or maybe, all of this was destined, impossible to change.

At that thought, she gave him a playful pinch. Ye Fan, however, only became more motivated.

"I will take care of you for the rest of our lives," he said, gently stroking her hair.

The Seven-Colored Demon Empress pouted. "You men and your empty promises. You might say that now, but you’ll just ignore me later!"

"I’m not like other men!" Ye Fan laughed.

She shot him a look of utter disdain, which only made him bolder. He lunged for her again, the feeling truly exhilarating.

「Meanwhile, among the Evil Gods.」

Hu Ben Main God said to Fu Hu, "If you were to face that man, what would you say your chances of victory are?"

Fu Hu considered this for a moment before answering, "Fifty-fifty."

"So low?"

Hu Ben Main God was surprised. His son had always been brimming with confidence, yet now he seemed to have so little. This was not the Fu Hu he knew.

"Father, his combat power is immense," Fu Hu explained. "And he can also utilize the physical body of the Demon Clan. He is a truly formidable enemy." This was Fu Hu’s honest assessment of Ye Fan.

Hu Ben Main God mused, "No wonder. No wonder the Seven-Colored Demon Empress came to aid him. It seems he must be her successor! The successor of the Demon Empress is representing the Righteous Divine Lineage... I hope I am simply overthinking things."

Hu Ben Main God’s expression soured.

Fu Hu asked, "Father, are you suggesting the Demon Clan has already allied with the Righteous Divine Lineage?"

Hu Ben Main God shot Fu Hu a look. Fu Hu immediately bowed his head and fell silent, knowing his father was now very displeased with him. He didn’t dare utter another word.

"Do not presume to guess my thoughts," Hu Ben Main God said. "You are destined to surpass me one day, but for now, you only need to focus on doing your part."

"Yes, Father!" Fu Hu responded quickly.

"We Main Gods have already discussed this," Hu Ben Main God continued. "Tomorrow, you are to go all out. The others will be there to support you. This man must be eliminated!"

Fu Hu nodded grimly.

He understood the stakes perfectly. If Ye Fan was not eliminated, the Righteous Divine Lineage and the Demon Clan would very likely form a genuine alliance. If those two powers were to unite, their Evil God lineage would no longer have such an easy time. Therefore, Ye Fan had to die. Once he was gone, any dream of an alliance between the two factions would burst like a bubble.

「The moon had risen high among the branches.」

A graceful figure rose from beside the soundly sleeping Ye Fan. After casting an affectionate glance at him, she moved to the window. It was the Seven-Colored Demon Empress.

Gazing at the sleeping man, the Seven-Colored Demon Empress whispered, "You have become my Heart Demon. I cannot bring myself to kill you, so I can only place my hopes for the future upon you. I hope you won’t let me down!"

Then, she transformed into a stream of white light and vanished.
