Chapter 448 - Cold Northern Country (2/2)

Many old monsters who were grumbling and whining silently after being barred entry to the island also began to pay attention to Ning Fan. As soon as they took a clearer look at Ning Fan’s face, each and every one of them looked like they had just seen a ghost.

“V-Venerated Ming! He is Venerated Ming… Zhou Ming! Look! Isn’t the woman beside him the ‘Lord of the Divine Space Island’, Yue Lingkong?! It’s indeed them! Zhou Ming has come!”

“This devil lord, no, this senior… Why did he come to our Giant Devil Clan?! My brothers, hurry up and activate the protective grand formation of the island!”

“Hurry! Hurry! Assemble the Jing, Shang and Xiu Divisions. Request them to reinforce this area at once to stop Zhou Ming and protect the Giant Devil Island!”

“Detestable. Let’s send out a signal to notify Venerated Giant. The threat of being annihilated has come!”

“Are we going to be killed?! Are we really going to be killed?!”

As soon as the guards of the Giant Devil Clan discovered Ning Fan’s identity, they were immediately muddled like a pot of porridge.

All of a sudden, multiple signals flew into the sky. The defensive formation light was activated in every part of Cold Northern Country which encompassed the vicinity of seventy million li* (500m per li) in just a few breaths, shielding the whole island.

As for the old monsters who were initially grumbling endlessly, all of them ran away as if their lives depended on it, leaving the island as far as possible. They were afraid to be involved with Ning Fan.

Ning Fan was being completely regarded as a malefic being by the Giant Devil Clan. He was treated as a ruthless being who would take lives and annihilate clans without distinguishing what’s right or wrong.

Through Xu Rushan, Ning Fan was on friendly terms with the Giant Devil Clan in actuality. However, only a few high-ranking members of the clan knew about it and the ordinary members of the clan were unaware of it.

To the ordinary members of the clan, wherever Ning Fan went would certainly be turned into a sea of blood.

Just a few months ago, Ning Fan had just killed the sect master of the Demon Sealing Sect and caused the entire sect to dissolve.

Today, Ning Fan suddenly appeared on the Giant Devil Clan’s territory. In the face of a devil lord like him, all the people in places he goes to would certainly be stricken with fear.

Ning Fan rubbed his forehead. His notoriety had actually grown to such an impactful level. By just setting his feet on Cold Northern Country, his very presence made the entire country to be on high alert. It really made him speechless.

Is he a god of plague? Why does everyone look like they had seen a ghost whenever they saw him?

1

Of course, even though the whole Cold Northern Country had activated their defense mechanisms, none of them dared to take the initiative to attack Ning Fan as they were worried of offending him.

It’s such a pity that the only reason why they activated the defensive formation light for the entire country was just to prevent Ning Fan from committing massacre in it and destroying it.

“Hahaha! Little Cucumber, your notoriety is so widespread that it made you look like a despicable rat that could make everyone scream to kill it when it crosses a street. It’s so hilarious!” Yue Lingkong held her abdomen and laughed as hard as possible without a care for her own image.

Fen Chi also found it hilarious. She covered her lips with her bare hand in an enchanting manner. She wanted to laugh but she restrained herself from doing so.

Before this, she also thought that Ning Fan was a cold-blooded devil lord. However, after getting along with him during this trip, she realized that although Ning Fan’s personality was cold, he only showed that side of him to his enemies. As for his own people, he treated them quite well. Besides, he was not a bloodthirsty person as well.

Based on her understanding of Ning Fan, he would certainly not eliminate the Giant Devil Clan’s country as they did not offend him in the first place.

Looking at Ning Fan who was in a dilemma, Fen Chi suddenly felt that this indifferent young man actually had a very easygoing personality. In fact, she found him rather cute…

“Stop!”

A dignified cry suddenly resounded from afar. It relieved the alertness of the devil guards of the Giant Devil Clan and shut down the formation lights.

That voice belonged to a white-haired elderly man who donned a set of white robes. He was the great elder of the Giant Devil Clan and had a Peak Divine Transformation Realm cultivation base.

“This old man is Fu Bai, the great elder of the Giant Devil Clan. Greetings to Venerated Ming. I wish to apologize on behalf of my underlings. They aren’t aware of the relationship between Venerated Ming and our Giant Devil Clan and that’s why they made such a reckless decision. I hope Venerated Ming could forgive their mistake.”

Great Elder Fu Bai’s words put each and every one of the cultivators of the Giant Devil Clan and the outsiders in a state of stupefaction.

Venerated Ming actually has a friendly and close relationship with the Giant Devil Clan? If that’s the case, does it mean that the reason why he came to this country isn’t to commit a massacre and annihilate the clan?

Hold up. What is this situation? What is happening?!

Everybody was confused.

According to rumors, isn’t Venerated Ming a devil lord who would commit killings wherever he goes? He is literally a god of death. Could it be that this isn’t the truth?

“Haha. Little Cucumber, hurry up and look at them! All of them thought that the reason you came to the Giant Devil Clan was just to kill people for fun…” Yue Lingkong was still laughing while making fun of Ning Fan. Suddenly, she felt a sharp pain on her buttocks. Ning Fan harshly spanked her backside, causing shallow ripples on her round and fleshy butt.

2

As her private part got assaulted, a rush of numbness went through her. Embarrassment replaced her cheerfulness, stopping her from smiling any longer. Her expression turned shy and furious. Even though she felt embarrassed, she also felt an inexplicable sense of pleasure.

1

Did I feel enjoyment after being humiliated? How could I be so despicable?!

It’s so shameful! It’s such a disgrace to me!

She was Yue Lingkong, the dignified lord of the Divine Space Island and also the strongest expert of the seven venerated beings in the internal sea. However, Ning Fan spanked her buttocks in public!

If she doesn’t hit him back, would she fit to be called Yue Lingkong again?

*Sound of sucking in a cold breath resounds*

All of the old monsters who witnessed that scene rubbed their eyes in disbelief.

What have I seen? Yue Lingkong was spanked?

Isn’t Yue Lingkong the female tyrant of the internal sea? Isn’t she rumored to have broken through the Void Refinement Realm and had become unrivalled among the Void Glimpse Stage experts? How come she still had her buttocks spanked?

This isn’t logical!

Venerated Ming is really bold to dare to spank a tigress’ backside…

When Yue Lingkong was about to act and swing her palm towards Ning Fan’s buttocks, he pulled her into his arms and said with a slightly stern tone.

“Behave yourself. Otherwise, you can say goodbye to the gift that I had planned to give to you!”

1

“You dare?! If you dare to not give me a gift, I will f**k you one hundred times! One hundred f**king times!” Yue Lingkong was extremely curious about the gift. Even though Ning Fan had taken advantage of her body, she no longer talked back. She suppressed her discontentment and obediently leaned on Ning Fan’s arm, behaving like a tamed kitten.

*Tsk* For that bloody gift, I will yield to Little Cucumber for a while.

However, as soon as she thought of the others there who also saw her embarrassing moment, her face instantly turned emotionless.

Her piercing cold eyes scanned across the surroundings. Majesty was being emanated from her even though she did not express the slightest hint of fury. Each of the old monsters there did not even dare to breathe loudly. All of them looked away from Yue Lingkong. They did not dare to look at her in her current state as they were worried that they might provoke this female tyrant.

Terrifying! It’s too terrifying! Venerated Ming is scary and the same goes for his woman. Both of them are not people we can provoke!

Fu Bai also shifted his gaze away after making a dry cough. He did not dare to look at Yue Lingkong who was in Ning Fan’s arms because he was afraid that he might offend her as well. He then cupped his fists towards Ning Fan again and said.

“Hehe. The underlings were not careful and they turned this matter into a big deal. Hopefully Venerated Ming could find it in his heart to forgive them. If Venerated Ming is willing to accept, this old man could give some compensation for you on behalf of these underlings.”

“There’s no need for compensation. They didn’t attack me and they didn’t cross my bottom line. It’s just a little misunderstanding. To be honest, I don’t mind it at all.” Ning Fan let go of Yue Lingkong and returned the same gesture with a faint smile. There was no arrogance in his expression. It was similar to the saying, “A smile vanquishes hatred.”

The pride he had was confidence from the marrow of his bones. This confidence prevented him from submitting to anyone. However, he would not express his pride to any of his friends.

Each of the old monsters were dumbfounded. Apparently, their impression of Ning Fan had just been one-sided. Now, Ning Fan did not seem to be as brutal and bloodthirsty as what the rumors had claimed.

“Hehe. I am deeply grateful for Fellow Daoist’s generosity. Actually, the reason why the country imposed martial law is because of some minor issues. Otherwise, Venerated Giant, Venerated Dong Xu and Miss Qiuling will have certainly come to welcome your arrival.” Fu Bai explained.

“Qiuling…” As soon as Ning Fan muttered this name, his eyes turned gentle. After separating from her for quite some time, he really missed her.

That lady who was as beautiful as a flower and aesthetic as a poem had used her entire lifetime to nourish their love.

After hearing the reason for the lockdown in the country, Ning Fan suddenly asked.

“About the martial law, I heard that it’s because the eldest mistress of your clan has gone missing. Isn’t Fellow Daoist Fu worried about her safety?”

“Fellow Daoist Zhou must be unaware of this. The eldest mistress’ disappearance is not a big deal actually. It’s just her being mischievous. Her safety is certainly not a problem. The reason for the lockdown is just to prevent her from getting out of this island… She won’t be discovered by those who harbor ill intentions towards her because if she hides herself, even the experts of our clan won’t be able to find her even if they exhaust all their methods… Hehe. Let’s talk about something else. Currently, Venerated Giant, Venerated Dong Xu and Miss Qiuling are handling a troublesome matter in the province. If Fellow Daoist wants to head there, this old man can guide you there. However, before the troublesome matter is resolved, I’m afraid that Fellow Daoist won’t be able to see Venerated Giant temporarily…”

“A troublesome matter? Is there something that I can lend a hand with?” To begin with, Ning Fan was not willing to intervene in the matters of the Giant Devil Clan. However, when he heard that Xu Qiuling was also being tied down by the troubles of the Giant Devil Clan, he, of course, would also need to do something in order to share the burden of her woman.

“Oh? If Fellow Daoist could help us out, this matter could be easily resolved. Please follow me, Fellow Daoist. We shall head to the province at once. This old man will tell you about every detail of the matter along the way. Speaking of which, this matter was started by the eldest mistress’ mischievous act this time…”

When Elder Fu Bai mentioned the eldest mistress, he looked like he was having a headache but his expression was full of affection as well.

The eldest mistress of the Giant Devil Clan, Feng Xueyan, was really a little troublemaker that one would not bear to hurt.
