An hour later, Ye Fan and Akatsuki sat across from each other at the stone table.
"I am a beast."
After listening to Akatsuki's story, Ye Fan lowered his head and buried his fingers into his silver hair as he spoke with a vexed expression.
He never thought that the extreme power of desire in the Desire Demon Pool would turn him into a lecher!
"What did you experience in the Demon Realm?" Akatsuki asked Ye Fan.
Ye Fan closed his eyes and told Akatsuki about entering the Four Great Demonic Pools and gathering the power of the Five Great Demonic Pools.
After hearing this, Akatsuki was shocked and couldn't recover for a long time.
Ye Fan didn't come to the Demon Realm to deal with any matters. Instead, he risked his life in search of power!
In order to obtain the extreme power of desire in the Desire Demon Pool, he even had a relationship with Yuji!
In order to quell his lust, he also had sex with his Demon Monarch wife, Yuji!
The reason why he touched her just now was because of the extreme power of desire in his body!
Akatsuki looked at Ye Fan with mixed feelings in her heart.
"I'm sorry, Hong Ji … I'm sorry …"
Ye Fan tore at his hair and fell into deep self-blame.
If Akatsuki hadn't splashed cold water on him, Akatsuki would have already been …
"What happened just now wasn't your intention. I don't blame you."
Seeing Ye Fan in pain and self-blame, Akatsuki couldn't bear it.
She held Ye Fan's hands in hers and comforted him.
Hearing Akatsuki's words, Ye Fan's heart was torn even more.
No matter what he did wrong, Akatsuki would never blame him. She would always consider things from his point of view.
This made him feel even more pain.
"Hong Ji …"
Ye Fan held Akatsuki's hand tightly, unable to say a word.
"Alright, it's all in the past now. Don't think about it anymore." Akatsuki gently patted Ye Fan's hand and comforted him softly.
Now that things had come to this, she could do nothing but comfort Ye Fan.
After a simple dinner, the two of them returned to their respective rooms, each with their own thoughts.
After returning to the room, Ye Fan sat on the bed dejectedly, feeling depressed.
Akatsuki leaned against the stone door, tears glistening in her eyes.
Fujiwara No Chiko, Devil Chi Yuji, and Devil Queen Yu Moji.
In the blink of an eye, the number of women who had intimate relations with Ye Fan had increased to three.
As for her, Akatsuki, she had to leave silently after Ye Fan obtained the ninth divine cauldron.
This was probably his fate.
Akatsuki thought in her heart. She slowly walked to the bedside and slowly opened the golden scroll that the crown prince had given her before he left.
When the painting on the scroll was completely presented in front of her, Akatsuki's heart skipped a beat.
On the scroll, there was a woman in red standing quietly.
This woman's eyebrows were as black as ink, her eyes were like autumn waves, her face was like peach petals, and her skin was like cream. She was truly like Chang 'e leaving the palace, a fairy from the nine heavens descending to the mortal world!
The person in the painting was none other than Akatsuki!
On the side of the painting, there were four lines of poetry.
'Enter my Yearning Sect and know my bitterness of yearning. Long yearning brings back memories, short yearning endlessly.'
On the side of the poem, there was a red royal seal.
And this royal seal was the seal of the emperor!
The beauty was alive, the handwriting was elegant, the poem was endless, and the royal seal was red.
The painting of the beauty that came from the hands of the crown prince of the Great Ming Dynasty was filled with yearning!
Akatsuki slowly rolled up the painting and put it aside. Her tears fell silently.
If she had not met Ye Fan, she might have been moved by the crown prince's deep feelings. But at this time, her heart could not hold anyone other than Ye Fan!
'Enter my Yearning Sect and know my bitterness of yearning. Long yearning brings back memories, short yearning endlessly.'
These four lines of poetry were the portrayal of her life.
Because in the near future, she would leave Ye Fan forever and never see him again!
At that time, other than yearning, there was only yearning …
The night passed quickly.
The next morning, Akatsuki woke up early as usual and prepared breakfast.
She pretended as if nothing had happened. With a smile on her face, she prepared food for Baihu and fruits for Fire Kirin.
There was not much time left for her to spend with Ye Fan. She had to cherish this time.
Seeing Akatsuki's smile, Ye Fan's mood improved a lot.
Whoosh …
Just as the two were sitting at the stone table and quietly eating breakfast, a black smoke appeared in front of them.
After the black smoke dissipated, Zhang Gong, dressed in a white jade robe, appeared.
"Greetings, Teacher."
Zhang Gong bowed to Ye Fan and said.
"You've finished with the disaster relief? Why are you alone? Where's Weide? "
Seeing Zhang Gong appear alone, Ye Fan immediately asked with a frown.
"Replying to Teacher, Weide is currently in the middle of disaster relief." Zhang Gong said with a troubled expression.
"What happened?" Ye Fan asked Zhang Gong.
Zhang Gong's expression told him that something had happened.
"Teacher, the thirty thousand taels of gold you gave us … are about to be spent …"
Zhang Gong lowered his head and whispered.
"What? About to be spent? "
Zhang Gong's words surprised Ye Fan.
Thirty thousand taels of gold was equivalent to three hundred thousand taels of silver!
In less than a day, it was almost spent!
"What's the matter?" Ye Fan frowned and asked Zhang Gong.
"Teacher, there are too many disaster victims," Zhang Gong raised his head and replied, "Weide and I followed Teacher's instructions to buy food, set up porridge stalls, and provide relief to the disaster victims. We also prepared a large number of medicinal herbs and distributed them to the sick disaster victims, but …"
Zhang Gong wanted to say something but stopped.
"But what?" Ye Fan asked.
"In the beginning, everything went smoothly, but when the news of the porridge distribution spread, disaster victims from other areas all flocked to the two provinces. The local grain and medicinal herb shops all began to raise the price and hoard the goods. In addition, there were people who falsely claimed the disaster food …"
Zhang Gong's voice became softer and softer.
Pa!
After listening to Zhang Gong, Ye Fan slammed the stone cup in his hand onto the stone table!
The fragrant tea in the cup immediately overflowed!
There were actually people who profited from the disaster!
Ye Fan narrowed his eyes and said angrily in his heart!
Seeing that Ye Fan was angry, Zhang Gong immediately lowered his head and did not even dare to breathe loudly!
"How many taels of silver do we have left?" Ye Fan asked Zhang Gong.
"We only have thirty thousand taels of silver left, in addition to five hundred thousand catties of rations and two thousand catties of medicinal herbs," Zhang Gong replied in a trembling voice.
"How many disaster victims are there in the two provinces?" Ye Fan continued asking.
"There are seven to eight hundred thousand disaster victims in the two provinces, and the number is still increasing," Zhang Gong replied.
"What about the local authorities? Do they not care about these disaster victims? "Ye Fan continued asking.
"The Governor of the two provinces, Chen Aimin, has already been removed from his post by the imperial court and is being held in custody in the capital. The local authorities are all making excuses, saying that they are short of silver and are waiting for the imperial court to distribute the relief funds," Zhang Gong raised his head and said.
"Did the surrounding provinces not send reinforcements to the two provinces?" Ye Fan asked again.
"Not only did the surrounding provinces not send reinforcements to the two provinces, they even sent soldiers to guard the main roads to prevent the disaster victims from flooding in …" Zhang Gong replied softly.
"Those bunch of corrupt officials!"
Pa!
As Ye Fan said that, he slammed the stone table heavily!
Zhang Gong trembled and lowered his head.
Yue Hongji furrowed her brows and remained silent.
Disaster relief sounded like a simple matter, but once it was implemented, problems followed one after another.
"Go and help Weide maintain order. I'll be there shortly," Ye Fan said to Zhang Gong.
"Yes … Yes."
Zhang Gong bowed deeply to Ye Fan, then turned into black smoke and dissipated.
"What do you plan to do?"
After Zhang Gong left, Akatsuki frowned and asked Ye Fan.
"Kill one as an example to the rest."
Ye Fan narrowed his eyes and said …
At this moment, countless disaster victims were gathered together on the main streets of the two provinces. They were staring at the rice mountain, the face mountain, and the large amount of medicinal herbs that were piled together!
In front of the rice mountain, Weide, who was dressed in an azure robe and dressed as a general, had his arms crossed as he stared expressionlessly at the large number of disaster victims in front of him. His eyes were as sharp as knives.
In the open space in front of him, more than a dozen burly men were rolling on the ground, howling.
"Why aren't you releasing the food! Why are you hurting the disaster victims!? "
Among the disaster victims, a middle-aged man walked out of the crowd and asked Weide angrily.
"There's not much food left now. Other than the old, young, sick, and disabled, the rest of the people have been temporarily suspended," the burly Weide said. "These guys really ate bear hearts and leopard guts. They actually dared to steal the food. If it weren't for my master forbidding me from killing at will, they would have been dead long ago!"
"There are so many of us. You're just one person. How many can you block?!"
Someone in the crowd shouted loudly!
After the shout, the disaster victims began to become restless.
Although the other party was powerful, he was only one person after all. There were countless disaster victims. If they swarmed together, no one would be able to stop them!
"If one comes, I'll block one. If two come, I'll block both!"
Weide narrowed his eyes and said coldly!
"Since he won't give it to us, then we'll rob him!" The middle-aged man turned around and shouted to the disaster victims behind him, "Fellow villagers, let's go!"
After the middle-aged man raised his arms and shouted, the hungry disaster victims suddenly lost their minds!
As the saying goes, the grain knows the etiquette.
When people were hungry to a certain extent, they could do anything!
In an instant, the crowd rushed toward Weide like a tide!
Weide frowned and secretly summoned the pure Yin spirit, preparing to use his spiritual power to resist the crazy disaster victims!
In the face of so many disaster victims, he was not confident that he could protect the food and medicinal herbs!
The reason was very simple. He could not hurt the disaster victims.
Whoosh …
Driven by hunger, the crowd rushed toward him like crazy!
Whoosh …
Just when the disaster victims who had lost their minds rushed to less than ten feet away from Weide, a silver starlight suddenly fell from the sky!
Boom …
In the starlight, Ye Fan's feet stomped heavily on the ground!
Boom …
The ground shook and a shockwave erupted!
The shockwave from the explosion sent the madly rushing disaster victims back dozens of feet!
The disaster victims all fell to the ground like waves in the sea!
Ye Fan slowly stood up and looked around at the wailing disaster victims with a cold gaze.
Whoosh …
Akatsuki, dressed in red, slowly descended from the sky and landed beside Ye Fan.
"Weide greets Mister."
