The next day, when Ye Fan got up, the fragrance of the beautiful woman who had been beside him still lingered. Unfortunately, she had already left, leaving him filled with yearning.

Although the Seven-Colored Demon Empress wasn’t with him, Ye Fan was brimming with invincible confidence because his relationship with her had advanced another step. This was indeed good news for them both. He firmly believed that one day, he would shatter the rule of the gods and marry the Seven-Colored Demon Empress, making her the happiest woman in the Divine Domain.

He rose to find that several people had already gathered outside: the Evil Punishment Main God, the Red Sand Main God, Wu Fa, Mu Chen Dong, and Mu Keqing.

"Yezi!" Mu Keqing exclaimed with delight. She immediately stepped forward, paying no mind to the distinction between men and women as she stood close to Ye Fan.

The Evil Punishment Main God then asked, "Junior Brother, how are you feeling?"

Ye Fan replied, "Senior Brother, I feel great. My current state is at my all-time peak!"

"Very good!" the Red Sand Main God agreed with a nod.

Ye Fan then turned to the others. "Wu Fa, Mu Chen Dong, there are only three of us. After we enter the Great Wilderness Space, we absolutely must not separate because they outnumber us.

"They have four people, while we only have three!

"We’ll start the hunt and make sure they don’t leave the Great Wilderness Space!"

"Alright!" the two nodded, believing that Ye Fan could definitely accomplish this. The Righteous Divine Lineage had been dormant for many years; it was time for them to shine brilliantly again.

The two Main God experts were gratified to see the efforts of the younger generation. They believed that one day, these successors would carry the great banner of the Righteous Divine Lineage. The Righteous Gods were backed by the Human Clan’s secular world, so they had two great banners to carry. Of course, they knew that for Ye Fan, the banner of the Demon Clan might also fall upon his shoulders.

Just as they were about to set off, something was amiss with Mu Keqing. Everyone’s eyes turned to her, only to find her carefully sniffing at Ye Fan.

"What are you doing?" The Red Sand Main God was speechless. Does my daughter have some peculiar fetish?

Mu Keqing didn’t answer him. Instead, she picked a long strand of hair from Ye Fan’s shoulder.

Ye Fan felt awkward.

Mu Keqing suddenly said, "This hair isn’t yours, and it isn’t mine either!"

"Um, at a time like this, let’s not worry about such details. Important matters are at hand!" Ye Fan said helplessly.

But Mu Keqing’s expression turned cold as she continued, "The fragrance on you comes from the Seven-Colored Demon Empress. Do you think I don’t know that you two were in a room together last night..."

Although she didn’t finish her sentence, everyone understood what she meant.

The Red Sand Main God said somewhat awkwardly, "You’re being too nosy."

As for the others, they shot Ye Fan looks filled with envy, jealousy, and hate. They couldn’t help it; he had even conquered the number one beauty in the Divine Domain. They really couldn’t imagine anything Ye Fan couldn’t conquer.

But Mu Keqing’s state of mind was currently very poor. Crying, she said to Ye Fan, "I have been sincere with you time and time again, but you have hurt me time and time again! Ye Fan, I will not forgive you!"

She immediately ran out.

Ye Fan was about to give chase when the Red Sand Main God said, "Don’t bother. She likes to act up. You all go on to the Great Wilderness Space. Remember, you must come back alive!"

Then he went to chase after Mu Keqing. Although she liked to act up, she was still his daughter. What father doesn’t love his own child?

Ye Fan stood frozen, feeling completely dejected.

How could I explain it to Mu Keqing? It wasn’t that I didn’t accept her; I genuinely see her as my own sister. It looks like I’ll have to explain things clearly to her after I get out of the Great Wilderness Space. Otherwise, our misunderstanding will only grow.

At this, Ye Fan and the other two rose and made their way to the Combat Challenge Arena.

The arena was already packed with people. All the prodigies from the Evil Divine Lineage were present. Jue Wuqing had also arrived, looking quite lonely, as no one stood on his side. But that was the price for being a turncoat.

The Great Wilderness Main God announced, "Very well. Since you have all arrived, I will now open the Great Wilderness Space. Inside, no Main God experts can intervene!

"That includes me! In there, your life and death are ruled by fate, and your success and failure are determined by the heavens. Your current opponents are not the only ones inside; there are many other enemies waiting!

"So, although you are in a state of hostility now, there will be times when you must cooperate!

"Alright, that is all I can say."

He then bellowed, "Open!"

The Combat Challenge Arena whirred to life, and the Great Wilderness Space manifested from within it, appearing exceptionally profound and vast. At that, Ye Fan, Mu Chen Dong, and Wu Fa nodded to each other and immediately dashed inside.

The Martial Artists from the Evil Divine Lineage also stormed in. Finally, Jue Wuqing rushed in as well. Clearly, his position this time was very peculiar. Although he had no teammates or friends in his camp, Ye Fan had already classified him with the Evil Divine Lineage. If he saw Jue Wuqing inside the Great Wilderness Space, he would execute him without hesitation. Such a turncoat was even more detestable than the Martial Artists of the Evil Divine Lineage.

Suddenly, their vision blurred...

Meanwhile, a sobbing Mu Keqing arrived at the edge of a canyon outside the Combat Challenge Arena. The area below was entirely shrouded in mist, resembling a heavenly fairyland, but at that moment, she was in no mood to appreciate the scenery.

She was crying her heart out, disillusioned by Ye Fan’s repeated betrayals. The key issue was that he hadn’t offered any explanation. Even a simple one at the time would have been better than nothing! At least she wouldn’t be this heartbroken now.

"Yezi, if you don’t give me an explanation, I’m going to dump you!" Mu Keqing said furiously, her anger reaching its absolute peak.

However, just then, a voice drifted out from the mist. "Sigh! It seems to be another woman hurt by a man. In this world, must we women be so pitiful? Why is heaven so unfair to us!"

The voice sounded aged, yet it was deep and resonant.

Mu Keqing was shocked. "Senior, who are you?" she asked.

The voice replied, "I was once like you, a miserable woman abandoned by a man! Later, in my absolute heartbreak, I managed to move on. From that moment forward, all men became my enemies!"

"Senior!" Mu Keqing exclaimed, sensing the desolation and anger in the voice.

Then, a woman appeared before her, standing amidst the mist, which made her seem even more majestic. Her features were exceedingly beautiful, causing even Mu Keqing to gasp in admiration. Though she had aged, there was no doubt that in her day, she had been a fairy of world-stunning beauty. She had been a peerless and radiant figure; it was a pity that time had stripped away so many of her youthful years.

Mu Keqing couldn’t help but stand up. Although the woman appeared stern, she undeniably felt a sense of warmth from her.
