Supreme Emptiness

Chapter 916: Chapter 916: Good Deeds Rewarded

In the distance.

Xu Youran was chasing a small alien creature.

She saw from afar the mighty giant shadow, thousands of feet tall, like a mountain range.

How could she dare to let the Silver Horned Little Alien run over there?

However, the fully recovered Silver Horned Little Alien moved extremely fast, jumping out of her arms to this place in just a dozen breaths.

It wasn’t much slower than a Nascent Soul.

The old woman sensed something.

Turning her head, a trace of excitement appeared on her aged cheeks.

With a flash, she instantaneously moved in front of the Silver Horned Little Alien, opened her arms, and immediately held it in her embrace.

"Young Master! I thought you were dead!"

The joy of regaining what was lost made even her, at the Divinity Transformation Realm, shed tears of joy, her eyes moist with old tears.

The Silver Horned Little Alien nuzzled in her arms, chirping adorably, seemingly very affectionate and happy.

"Good, good, okay, as long as you’re fine."

"I almost prepared to go with you."

The old woman, holding the Silver Horned Little Alien, wiped away her tears.

At this moment, she noticed there were still unhealed wounds on the Silver Horned Little Alien, and as her heart ached, a murderous intent reappeared in her eyes.

She glared coldly at Jiang Fan and the others.

"I never minded how you humans messed around in the Underworld before."

"But you have been too reckless!"

"You even dared to hurt our Young Master!"

"This time it was lucky and narrowly escaped death, but what if it wasn’t lucky?"

"Previously, I was too tolerant!"

"From now on, any human that comes to the tenth layer, I will kill!"

"Starting with you!"

Upon hearing the murderous intent from the other side.

Jiang Fan and the others’ hearts sank to the bottom.

For such an existence to erase them, it would be all too easy.

"Jiang Fan?"

Xu Youran ran all the way over.

Realizing that the Silver Horned Little Alien was affectionate with the old woman, she initially intended to quickly retreat.

But with a glance, she discovered Jiang Fan was also present.

Moreover, the old woman intended to kill Jiang Fan.

She hurried over and stood in front of Jiang Fan.

Jiang Fan kept winking at her, telling her not to come, to hurry and leave.

But she came anyway.

"Why are you here?" Jiang Fan’s mouth was full of bitterness.

"Can’t you see the situation?"

Three Nascent Souls and beyond, unable to move, it should be clear how dangerous their situation was.

"I know, I can see it."

Xu Youran glanced at the old woman. Even if she didn’t understand her ferocity, how could she not comprehend Jiang Fan’s situation with that monstrous beast thousands of feet tall?

"I just can’t watch you die in front of me."

"My world only has you."

"If you die, living becomes meaningless for me."

She stepped forward and held Jiang Fan’s arm.

Facing the endless murderous intent of the old woman together.

Living not in the same bed, but dying in the same grave.

Jiang Fan held her hand, feeling a sense of guilt rise within him.

They had originally agreed to get married in a month.

Now, more than half a year had passed, and she was still a fiancée.

Not a wife.

"I’m sorry to have implicated you."

Jiang Fan whispered.

Xu Youran gently leaned on his shoulder and said, "Husband, you have also worked hard."

Xia Chaoge, watching the scene unfold, suddenly felt a deep sense of respect in her heart.

Perhaps Xu Youran didn’t possess noteworthy strength or provide Jiang Fan with the same companionship as Liu Qingxian and others did.

But, she deserved to always hold the most important place in Jiang Fan’s heart.

At this,

She silently took out a Jade Box.

Inside were two white feathers, exuding a sacred aura.

These were life-saving items she acquired recently, one to protect one person.

She planned to give them to her uncle and Xu Youran.

Hoping they could live together until old age and witness all seasons of life together.

Just as she was about to speak,

The Silver Horned Little Alien suddenly pointed at Xu Youran, chirping something.

The old woman’s expression changed slightly: "You say she saved you?"

The Silver Horned Little Alien nodded, then ran and jumped into Xu Youran’s arms.

Xu Youran felt a mix of emotions.

She had saved the little alien, but its kin wanted to kill her husband.

"Go back." Xu Youran placed it on the ground again, her expression cold.

The tenderness from before was gone.

The Silver Horned Little Alien sorrowfully ran back into the old woman’s arms, seeming to be complaining about something.

The old woman listened awkwardly, saying, "Alright, alright, I won’t kill them, I won’t kill them."

"Fine, you all can leave!"

"From now on, don’t come to the tenth layer, and especially don’t step into the area I’ve marked as Forbidden Land!"

Everyone immediately felt a sense of relief.

Their hearts, tensed to the point of breaking, finally found release.

Even the three Nascent Souls had cold sweat running down their backs.

A cold wind blew, and the three of them felt a shiver all over.

The Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion Master gratefully clasped hands towards Xu Youran: "Thank you."

Qian Lan Fairy and Yun Huo also looked grateful.

If not for Xu Youran’s life-saving grace for their Young Master, they would surely be dead.

Xia Chaoge also put away the Jade Box and said, "Thank you, Junior Sister Xu."

Jiang Fan was even more surprised.

Looking at Xu Youran beside him, he became slightly dazed.

This was the most dangerous moment of his life, bar none.

Yet it was Xu Youran, who was increasingly behind him on the martial path, who saved him.

A sense of fate overwhelmed Jiang Fan with mixed emotions.

"Thank you, Youran."

Xu Youran felt an unprecedented sense of fulfillment; she had finally helped her husband.

She smiled gently.

Turning her gaze to the Silver Horned Little Alien, she said, "Thank you, little one."

"Until we meet again."

She waved and then walked away with Jiang Fan.

The Silver Horned Little Alien watched Xu Youran with reluctance.

When it was at its weakest, it was Xu Youran who tenderly cared for it.

This feeling was like a mother’s care.

But its mother was long gone.

It looked up and chirped something to the old woman.

The old woman was surprised, "You want her to stay?"

"She’s human; it’s hard for her to survive in such a Yin Qi-laden place."

The Silver Horned Little Alien whimpered and said something else.

The old woman, looking troubled, said, "There is a way using the remnants left by the master, it should be doable."

"As the Young Master, if you want it, this old servant cannot oppose."

"But it also depends on whether she is willing."

"If you force her to stay, how can she accompany you well if she’s unhappy?"

The Silver Horned Little Alien urged a few more times.

The old woman was helpless.

She had to call out to Xu Youran, "Young lady."

Xu Youran turned around and politely bowed slightly, "What advice does the senior have?"

The old woman regarded Xu Youran.

Her demeanor was gentle, her eyes soft, and her speech very polite.

Among the human race, she should have received good upbringing from a young age.

"Our Young Master hopes you can stay here and accompany it."

Upon hearing this, Xu Youran showed a troubled expression.

How could she possibly leave Jiang Fan behind to accompany an alien baby she met by chance?

Though it was cute and very grateful, and she quite liked it.

But, it couldn’t compare to Jiang Fan at all.

However, she feared refusing would anger the old woman and implicate Jiang Fan.

"I understand you’re in a difficult position."

"But I wouldn’t have you accompany our Young Master for nothing."

"If you stay, you can receive a portion of the heritage left by the old master."

The old woman spoke with a hint of envy.

She had no fate with the master’s things.

Yet, the Young Master wanted to give it to a little human girl.
