Chapter 118: Xu Ruyu (2/2)
Far away, Ye Fan’s mind trembled, although the distance was far, his divine sense was exceptionally strong and could clearly hear the words.
“Both these people……..” Qin Yao had an expression of amazement on her face: “It’s no wonder the mysterious Daoist Duan De said that this kid’s talent was phenomenal and his body was strong to an inconceivable level, this is the reason.” Thereafter, she exposed an expression of excitement: “Isn’t that even better? The one in closed meditation has already chosen a mortal shell, this new acquisition is perfect as a sacred artifact.”
Ye Fan who had already walked to the periphery of the valley felt his heart tremble, he was worried for Pang Bo and it seemed that the situation was grim and difficult to determine. The perfect lady within the pavilion shook her head: “The one within closed meditation doesn’t even know if he can extend his life, it is difficult to say who will fulfill whom.”
“This…….”
“As for the youth named Ye Fan, his body is certainly extraordinary, if he is used as a sacred artifact, it is difficult to predict what will happen. The one in meditation previously mentioned that it seems that it is before the ancient times…….”
These were the final words that Ye Fan heard before he was brought out of the region into another valley, this area was filled with cherry blossoms that were tens of thousands of years old, a emerald green lake was within the centre of the cherry blossom forest and several thatched cottages were erected by the side, they blended in with the surroundings and were Ye Fan’s temporary residence.
It was only on the fifth day that the perfect lady appeared again, her real name was Yan Ruyu*, this was a title that represents the pinnacle of beauty. If someone else were given such a name, Ye Fan’s heart would definitely be indignant, however, this lady had misty eyes with jade-like skin, as though she had come out from a painting, she did not seem like someone of the real world and such a name was actually quite fitting.
[T/N* Her name in chinese means countenance like jade]
Qin Yao followed beside her, there were also two old women who gently floated to the emerald lake, earnestly and carefully inspecting Ye Fan’s body as expressions of shock appeared on their faces. “He can be used as a sacred artifact.” One of the old women spoke.
When the three people finally, left, Qin Yao walked over with a light smile on her face: “There must be many questions within your heart, relax, we are not going to harm you. You are actually going to get a great opportunity.”
Ye Fan questioned in a heavy voice: “What exactly are you planning?”
“You’ve seen the heart of the demon emperor, how was it?”
“Extremely frightening.” This was a fact, even experts of the Other Shore and past the Other Shore realm could not go near the beating heart, it would cause them to spit out blood from the vibrations, it was difficult to imagine the frightening amount of divine energy contained within.
“It’s good that you know.” Qin Yao glanced over at him as she laughed before rubbing his face: “A big opportunity will land in your lap, if you are successful, don’t forget about me.”
“What do you mean?”
“Using your physical body as a sacred artifact to foster the heart of the demon emperor, allowing it to maintain its vitality. At the same time, it will nourish your physical body, isn’t this a heaven sent opportunity?”
“This…….” Ye Fan was extremely shocked, he would never have imagined that they would use his body as an artifact to foster the heart of the demon emperor.
“You don’t have to feel worried, the heart of the demon emperor has already been sealed, otherwise, you wouldn’t be able to bear it.”
“Right now, there will only be benefits for your body without a single detriment.” Having said this, Qin Yao blew a gentle gust of wind by his ear as she said sweetly: “If you are really able to foster this sacred heart, our highness will definitely marry you, this is the dream of innumerable men within the entire Eastern Badlands!”
“I don’t wish to be a sacred artifact!” Ye Fan did not want to accept unknown arrangements.
“How many people would dream to have such a chance, you actually…….” Qin Yao pressed on his head with a finger: “The sacred heart will allow you to shed your mortal skin and exchange your bones, if it weren’t for the fact that someone with such a physique is so difficult to find, do you believe such a chance would fall on you? In the future, her highness will use the sacred heart to cultivate a peerless demonic technique, she will marry you and be your wife, with such a peerless beauty as a partner, what is there to be unsatisfied with?” Using his body to foster the heart of the demon emperor and marrying the perfect lady as a wife, this made Ye Fan feel as though he were in a dream.
“A peerless beauty as a partner, I couldn’t hope for anything more, as for that heart, I thank you for your kindness but please find someone else.”
“You really dare to make demands, what sort of personage is her highness, without rhyme or reason to be by your side, wishful thinking.” Qin yao rolled her eyes as her slender jade fingers pinched his cheeks: “Fortune knocks at your door but you actually choose to reject it, I really don’t know what to say to you.”
Whether Ye Fan accepted it or not, there was no way to change this reality. Three days later, Xu Ruyu, Qin Yao and ten odd old women came into the cherry blossom forest, confining him within the thatched cottage.
A piece of divine metal as thick as a water jar engraved with various pictures of beasts suddenly emerged from within the emerald green lake, glowing as it pierced into the forest, ensnaring Ye Fan within.
Xu Ruyu seemed to be eighteen to nineteen years of age, she stood there silently watching Ye Fan.
“Xu Ruyu, future wife, can you…….” Ye Fan was speaking but suddenly became unable to, his mouth had been personally sealed by Xu Ruyu.
Within the emerald lake that was located in the cherry blossom forest, waves surged to the sky as nine golden carp that were several metres long dragged a crystal coffin out from the water, immediately releasing an endlessly vigorous vitality like that of a vast body of water that was surging.
The crystal coffin was two metres long and one metre wide, sparkling and translucent, under the rays of the sun it gave off seven divine colours, extremely exceptional. Within it was a fist sized heart, glistening bright red, it was like a scarlet jade spirit tablet, simply splendid and matchless. A powerful life force was originating from the heart of the demon emperor!
It was sealed within, a scarlet light swirled around it, dense mist floated about giving one a mesmerising feeling, bathing the crystal coffin in a blood red, releasing a dazzling glow.
Ye Fan wanted to howl but he could not make any noise, he wanted to struggle but he could not move, he was trapped by the divine metal without any way to stop all of this.
