With Qin Mengyao and Yang Xiaoting, Ye Fan enjoyed unparalleled gentleness. The two young girls were very smart and obedient, trying their best to please him, almost treating Ye Fan like an emperor.

When Ye Fan held the two young girls in his arms, leaning against the soft pillow, he was reminded of returning to Pangu's secret realm.

At this moment, Li Zhaojun sent a message using a Jade Talisman, urging him to return quickly.

Ye Fan used spiritual energy to lull Qin Mengyao and Yang Xiaoting to sleep before getting up, tidying his clothes, and exiting through the window to return to the villa where Li Zhaojun lived.

At this time, four people with cultivation levels around the later stages of the Foundation Establishment were captured by Wu Ding and Li Zhaojun. All four were men, and because their cultivation was not high, Ye Fan did not consider them a threat.

"Junior brother, you've decided to return?" Wu Ding's tone was a bit hostile, "We caught a few people, they look like scouts, but our location seems to have been exposed."

"Who are they?" Ye Fan asked.

"They should be from Pangu's secret realm. They are not familiar with Earth's environment yet; otherwise, why would they wear such outfits that scream they have bad intentions?" Wu Ding replied irritably.

The four men wore ancient attire from Pangu's secret realm. Although it was still summer on Earth, their thick clothing was suspicious at a glance.

Ye Fan asked, "Have they been interrogated?"

Wu Ding said, "We did, but they are tight-lipped. Now it's up to you to decide—kill them or let them go?"

Ye Fan glanced at Wu Ding, thinking why does the task of killing fall on me? He coldly smiled and said, "Since they only have Foundation Establishment level, it would be bullying to kill them. How about we release them first?"

"You can decide for yourself, junior brother!" Wu Ding waved his hand and removed the spiritual energy restraints from the four men, who, knowing the huge disparity in cultivation with those in the room, quickly turned and fled.

Seeing Ye Fan's calm demeanor, Wu Ding couldn't help but ask, "Aren't you going to chase them?"

"Why chase? Just let them go," Ye Fan said. "Elder sister said they're from the secret realm, and with the entrance between the secret realm and Earth sealed by strong spiritual energy, they're sure to report to their master. If their master comes to us, then with so many of us, what is there to fear?"

Wu Ding thought about it and couldn't help but laugh.

She was being overly cautious. In this villa, apart from Han Qing'er and Qing Xu who were still at the Golden Core Stage, the others, at the very least, were at the Divinity Transformation Stage like Li Zhaojun and Min Shang. Now, both Ye Fan and she were at the Body Integration Realm, with Lan Jing's cultivation around the Transcendance Tribulation Stage. Moreover, Sang Yuan possessed a power surpassing those of ordinary Immortals. Even if Huang Ze, Ling, and Hua Wu, the sect masters of the three great sects, teamed up, they weren't a match for Sang Yuan. So what was there to fear?

Ye Fan approached and wrapped his arm around Li Zhaojun's slender waist, smiling, "I was planning to actively seek them out, but now they've come to us voluntarily, saving us the trouble."

Wu Ding had nothing to say about this. However, Li Zhaojun's beautiful eyes slightly twitched, and she said, "Ye Fan, I'm just worried they might affect the ordinary people on Earth."

"Zhao Jun is right, we Earthlings care more about the views of ordinary people. How about this, we lure them to a desolate place?" Ye Fan suggested with a smile.

Wu Ding replied, "Everywhere on Earth is populated. Is it that you plan to go to the Arctic?"

Ye Fan smiled without speaking. He then led the group away from the villa, deliberately leaving clues for others to track him. His direction was towards Siberia, where many places were deserted. Even if a conflict arose, it would not affect ordinary people much.

...

...

Among the group, there was a Xuan Nü who had no cultivation at all.

Sang Yuan was responsible for escorting Xuan Nü. They began their flight under the cover of night, and in less than an hour, they were already over Siberia.

Finding a place that was desolate for hundreds of miles, Ye Fan descended. It was now summer in the Siberian region. Although the temperature was adequate, it was still only a little over ten degrees, which was considered the warmest time of the year.

"Junior brother, bringing us to such a barren place—if you wish not to harm Earth, you might as well return to the secret realm. What are we doing here?" Wu Ding expressed her dissatisfaction.

Ever since Ye Fan reached the Body Integration Realm, her complaints increased. She was aware that Ye Fan might surpass her cultivation level at any time, and then she'd have to become Ye Fan's servant as per previous agreements, not daring even to breathe loudly in front of him, let alone argue.

Ye Fan smiled, "If you find this place unsuitable, senior sister, you can return to the secret realm, or go to bustling places like Hua Hai City. I find this place quite nice."

The group helped start a fire, lighting a bonfire in the wilderness. They each settled down to sit, with Li Zhaojun snuggled next to Ye Fan, making Min Shang and Qing Xu envious.

"It's a pity there's a beautiful night view here, but no wine or meat," Ye Fan chuckled.

"If you wanted wine or meat, you should've prepared it yourself. I'll be back," Wu Ding said before leaving for a while. In less than ten minutes, she returned with two rabbits, saying, "There's no wine, but there's meat. See if you'd like to eat it."

"That's fine." Ye Fan wasn't averse to killing. He personally prepared the rabbit meat, hanging it directly over the fire to roast.

Before long, a surge of strong spiritual energy was approaching, and Wu Ding and Min Shang stood up, vigilant in watching the direction from where the energy was coming.

Once the person arrived, Wu Ding and Min Shang slightly relaxed their guard, and Min Shang obediently stepped forward to salute, "Master."

The newcomer was none other than Min Shang's master, the Xinghe Sect's sect master, Hai Wuzi.

Hai Wuzi nodded slightly and walked toward Ye Fan. Since Hai Wuzi was Min Shang's master, she was in a way like Ye Fan's "mother-in-law." Despite having grudges with Tianxuan Sect now, Ye Fan still had to step up respectfully: "Junior pays respect to the senior."

Although Hai Wuzi's cultivation was not low, she hadn't reached the Mahayana Realm, only at the late-stages of Body Integration Realm. When she probed Ye Fan's cultivation, nearing her own, she smiled and nodded, "Seems like letting my disciple follow you was the right decision. In a short time, you've achieved what others couldn't, advancing her from the Nascent Soul Stage to the Divinity Transformation Stage, now nearing Body Integration Realm."

Ye Fan smiled, "It's all due to the senior's accommodation."

Ye Fan had to thank Hai Wuzi. If not for her lenience, Min Shang wouldn't have been able to leave her sect and stay by his side, becoming his woman.

"Let's skip the formalities. With your current cultivation and your friends and companions... I think your cultivation is enough to change Pangu's secret realm. Have you considered returning to take on the responsibility of protecting the secret realm?" Hai Wuzi asked.

Ye Fan smiled, "The responsibilities you speak of are too great, senior. My responsibility is to protect those around me from harm. If senior has a small task for me, I can certainly offer my modest help."
