Jaw-Dropping Son-in-Law

After Junie and Noa left, the only ones left in the room were Ye Fan and Suzumiya Eigetsu.

Seeing how flustered he was, the latter couldn't help but burst out laughing.

I can't believe the former Dragon God Hall Master, who was also first in the Sky Ranking, can be

caught in such an awkward situation too! Oh, this is hilarious!

“Hey, are you laughing? How dare you! You know very well that this is all your fault!” Ye Fan snapped

as he glared at Suzumiya Eigetsu.

“But I did it because I was worried about you,” she whimpered. “It's their fault for not telling me your

whereabouts...”

With her looking so pitiful, there was no way he could bring himself to blame her. “All right, all right. Just

pay more attention in the future. Junie and the rest are my friends. Don't hurt them,” Ye Fan muttered,

hoping she wouldn't repeat her mistake.

A while later, Suzumiya Eigetsu asked Ye Fan what he had been up to for the past few years.

After all, she was curious to know where he had gone after the battle at Eastsea and why he had

maintained radio silence for so many years.

In response, Ye Fan merely gave a brief rundown of the past events, not wanting to go into the details

since it was all history to him.

After learning that Ye Fan had spent the last few years recuperating in the Great North, Suzumiya

Eigetsu's heart ached so much that she almost cried. “Those people deserved to die! How dare they

hurt you so badly!”

Ye Fan, however, was extraordinarily calm.

What happened was painful and horrible, but he had long learned to accept it and move on.

“Well, that's all in the past. Look at me now. Aren't I doing just fine? Besides, my power has also

improved significantly. In a way, I should be thanking them for that, shouldn't I?” he replied with a smile.

Only after hearing Ye Fan's words did Suzumiya Eigetsu realize his aura was volatile and the true

extent of his power was close to bursting out. “Huh? Master, have you had another breakthrough?”

“What do you think? If you hadn't interrupted, I'd have succeeded,” Ye Fan grumbled as he rolled his

eyes several times. “I was in solitary training when you got here.”

Perhaps feeling guilt-ridden, Suzumiya Eigetsu lowered her head in shame and apologized.

“It's okay. I'm not blaming you. I must say, though, you came at the right time. I reckon I'd need a lot

more time to achieve this breakthrough. Moreover, I'm at the most critical stage, so I can't afford to let

anyone disturb me.”

Indeed, Ye Fan's training was a matter of great importance.

He was thankful that his visitor was Suzumiya Eigetsu, and even more so that she had shown up

before he started his breakthrough.

After all, if someone had attacked or barged in during his critical breakthrough period, there was no

doubt the consequences would be dire.

Now that she was here, Ye Fan had to admit it was perfect timing.

She's the best person to stand guard while I resume my training!

“Sure!” Suzumiya Eigetsu replied without hesitation.

She was only too happy to help her master, so there was no way she'd have turned him down.

However, before he retreated for his solitary training, Suzumiya Eigetsu decided to ask if Ye Fan could

accompany her for one more day.

As it turned out, her body was still largely under the control of the Moon God's consciousness.

Thankfully, when the goddess found out about their long-awaited reunion and knew they'd have a lot to

catch up on, she took the initiative to pull out and relinquished control over her host.

Otherwise, Suzumiya Eigetsu'd never have been able to hold a conversation with Ye Fan if she were

still in control.

Naturally, he acceded to the request and accompanied Suzumiya Eigetsu on a fun trip around India for

a day.

They saw majestic mountains rising above the clouds, leaves falling off the trees as the rain poured,

and clusters of stars that dazzled in the night sky.

Suzumiya Eigetsu leaned on Ye Fan's shoulder as she enjoyed the sight and night breeze, a happy

and contented smile on her face.

She wished the moment would last forever. Alas, all good things must come to pass.

The next day, as soon as the first ray of light illuminated the land, Suzumiya Eigetsu's soul quickly

faded away and was replaced by Tsukuyomi Tenshin—the all-mighty Moon God of Japan.

When Ye Fan felt her cold, piercing gaze, he couldn't help but break into a sheepish smile.

“H-Hello...” he mumbled before stepping back to distance himself from the goddess.

“It seems like you have nine lives,” Tsukuyomi Tenshin coldly remarked as she scrutinized Ye Fan.

“Back then, Chu Yuan had you surrounded, yet somehow, you managed to survive the attack.”

Ye Fan flashed a smile. “I was just lucky.”

“Oh? Are you sure it was all just luck?”

Before he could say anything else, the Moon God decided to cut to the chase.

“I'll only guard you for a month. After that, I'll return to Japan! Is that clear?”

Ultimately, the Moon God was still a guardian of Japan, and leaving her post to protect Ye Fan for a

month was the best she could do.

In any case, she didn't want to drag on any longer and risk putting Japan's martial arts world in danger.

Of course, Ye Fan couldn't say no to that.

With the Moon God protecting him, he once again sealed himself away for his solitary training in India.

This time, he set aside all reservations and aimed for the highest attainable level.

Just like that, the days went by slowly, with the goddess taking up position in the courtyard while Ye

Fan trained indoors.

Tsukuyomi Tenshin sat cross-legged and shut her eyes, keeping her Seven Foot Green Blade close as

she felt the shifts and changes in the surrounding air.

Meanwhile, everyone at Folo Palace was stunned when they learned that the Moon God had yet to

leave India.

“What? I-Is she still in our territory?”

“Why hasn't she left?”

“What is she staying behind for?”

“Who knows? Does she want to bear a child for Ye Fan?”

It was a known fact that the Moon God was no ordinary person.

The longer a god realm fighter like herself stayed on, the more the Indian martial arts world feared

getting annihilated.

Naturally, that left King Folo and the others in utter distress.

Not only could they not eat or sleep in peace, but they also kept sending spies to track her every move.

One day turned to two. Soon, a whole month had passed without her showing any intention to leave.

Just as King Folo and the others remained on tenterhooks, Tsukuyomi Tenshin finally opened her eyes

and came out of her meditative state.

The Moon God slowly got up and turned to look at the room behind her.

There was a strong, steady flow of aura, just like the lava coursing underneath a volcano, threatening

to erupt at any time.

However, that breakthrough never happened.

The one-month deadline was up, which meant she could leave as per her agreement with Ye Fan.

Despite that, she frowned and began pacing outside the room.

In the end, she decided to return to her spot and continue guarding Ye Fan.

“One month. I'll give him one more month. Even if he still hasn't completed his training by then, I'd have

to leave!”

No matter how hard she tried, the Moon God couldn't bring herself to ditch Ye Fan, especially since it

was the critical stage of his training.

The days that followed were anything but peaceful.

The Chu Sect, which had been lying in wait for a while, finally sprang into action with teeth and claws

bared.

A large group of fighters left the sect's base and proceeded to launch attacks on countries all over the

world.

The first to fall was the continent of Adrune.

In just two weeks, the martial arts world in Adrune had no choice but to submit to the Chu Sect. Any

fighters who resisted would suffer a brutal death.

Unsurprisingly, that piece of news shocked the world and sent countries spiraling into a state of panic.

Even Japan's martial arts world, which had always maintained a cordial relationship with the Chu Sect,

was in great turmoil.

Mochizuki Kawa was like a cat on hot bricks as he paced around in the Sword Shrine. “Where's the

Moon God?” he yelled. “Find her and get her back!”

The country's martial arts world was at risk of being decimated, yet their guardian had disappeared at

that crucial, life-and-death moment.

To make matters worse, she had gone missing for more than a month!

Of course, Mochizuki Kawa was furious and quickly sent his subordinates to track her down.

Meanwhile, everyone at Folo Palace was stunned when they learned that the Moon God had yet to

leave India.
