Chapter 2112 - 2108: The Same Trouble

Ye Fan didn’t want to make any exchange with Fu Xi because, in his view, although Nuwa was indeed very dangerous, he was also very concerned about Mo Xiaoyan’s safety.

But right now, he only found Mo Xiaoyan’s physical body, and as for how to control Mo Xiaoyan’s Soul Body now, Ye Fan had no way at all.

Ye Fan first left Earth with Lan Jing because he didn’t have much time to linger on Earth. The speed of the tribulation was more sudden than he imagined, and the situation within the Pan Gu Secret Realm was more complicated than Ye Fan had imagined.

"Ye Fan, what should we do after we go back? How do you plan to rescue this girl?" Lan Jing asked with concern.

Ye Fan couldn’t answer Lan Jing because there were many things he couldn’t explain. Returning to the Pan Gu Secret Realm was not just to find Mo Xiaoyan’s Soul Body. Even if he found her, it wouldn’t substantially help the situation. With his ability, he still couldn’t capture Mo Xiaoyan’s Soul Body and allow it to return to where it belongs.

The two of them went directly to the Heavenly City, arrived at the Hundred Immortals Building, where they had previously encountered Mo Xiaoyan. Mo Xiaoyan was no longer in the Hundred Immortals Building at this time, and as for where Mo Xiaoyan’s Soul Body went, Ye Fan didn’t know.

"It seems... she has already left," Lan Jing said, contemplating slightly as she looked around the Hundred Immortals Building.

Ye Fan also felt helpless and said, "Ultimately, I didn’t protect her well. I once considered that she might encounter danger, but I also knew that this girl was too willful. I didn’t stop her, and in the end, there was an error in protecting her. Now, it’s too late for regrets!"

"Ye Fan, this isn’t your fault," Lan Jing consoled.

Ye Fan smiled wryly and said, "Whether it’s my fault or not, the event has happened. If it were normal times, even if I didn’t practice, I’d ensure her safety in the shortest time and save her. But now, what I face is too critical; I don’t have the time to save her. I must focus entirely on how to save the tribulation... that’s where I feel I’ve let her down the most."

"Ye Fan, I don’t know how to console you, but I know that the choice you make must be the right one. I just want to know what you plan to do next. Just let me know," Lan Jing said.

Lan Jing looked at Ye Fan, her eyes pitiful. She wanted to say many things to Ye Fan, but due to the distance still existing between them and Ye Fan’s involvement with another woman, Lan Jing couldn’t help but feel a little bothered.

Ye Fan placed Mo Xiaoyan’s body in the highest room of the Hundred Immortals Building, allowing her to lie flat. He sighed, "I can’t always have her by my side. If I encounter some trouble now, I must also consider how to protect her... When the tribulation occurs, I won’t have the capacity to care for her, so she must temporarily stay here."

"Won’t this make her even more vulnerable?" Lan Jing asked.

Ye Fan reached out, forming a powerful protective barrier, enveloping Mo Xiaoyan with strong energy to prevent anyone from further attacking her. Ye Fan said, "I hadn’t protected her this way before because I wanted to give her enough freedom. But now, since she can’t wake up for now, this is the best method, allowing her to slumber here, undisturbed."

Lan Jing nodded and said, "It seems this is also the best way to protect her."

Ye Fan smiled bitterly, "Unfortunately, her Soul Body cannot be protected in this way. If her Soul Body encounters any danger, there’s so little I can do. Do I have to watch her soul dissipate and sleep eternally? I never thought that after Nuwa fell into slumber, she could still pose such a great threat to me."

As Ye Fan clenched his fists, he was moved to kill. He wanted to kill Nuwa and even slay Fu Xi and Pan Gu simultaneously.

"This probably isn’t intentional by Nuwa," Lan Jing said. "Nuwa has self-closed. Do you think Nuwa harmed this girl?"

Ye Fan angrily said, "It’s Nuwa’s persistence in many things that turned this woman crazy. The harm she poses to those around me is immense because she’s a woman and one of the creators of humans. She deeply understands human women, and I dread to imagine how I would contend with her when she targets those around me."

"Oh," Lan Jing nodded, seemingly contemplating Nuwa’s danger for a long while before nodding in understanding, "Perhaps, as you’ve said, this woman is truly dangerous. Ye Fan, I will help you deal with her!"

Ye Fan smiled, "I don’t need you to deal with her. What you need to do is protect yourself while assisting me in confronting the tribulation. As for other matters, I’ll handle them myself. I don’t want you to encounter any trouble."

...

...

Somewhere in the universe, Fu Xi was trying to awaken Nuwa.

After rescuing Nuwa from Ye Fan, Fu Xi seemed to hold expectations for the future. He could focus his energy on saving Nuwa, continuously channeling his internal power into Nuwa’s body, wanting her to awaken. But it seemingly didn’t mean much; Nuwa still showed no signs of awakening.

"What’s going on? Was Nuwa sealed by Ye Fan’s power?" Fu Xi pondered but remained perplexed. He thought Nuwa hadn’t self-closed but was made this way by Ye Fan’s actions.

But alas, no one could answer him. Nuwa remained in deep slumber despite Fu Xi’s considerable effort.

Fu Xi then realized that he might have encountered the same troubles as Ye Fan: dealing with a woman whose three souls and seven spirits were incomplete. If her scattered Soul can’t be retrieved, Nuwa might remain in eternal slumber.

"Ye Fan, what you did not only hurt me but also harmed Nuwa. You should pay for this!" Fu Xi was furious, even considering killing Ye Fan.

At the same time, a powerful shockwave came. Based on his understanding of the cosmic space, it should be the arrival of the second round of tribulations.

Fu Xi was initially going to find Ye Fan but now had to prioritize self-preservation because the tribulation primarily targeted him, Pan Gu, and Nuwa. It meant he had to face two tribulation forces simultaneously.
