Chapter 308: True Happiness Is Being Happy Together
The Earth Crystal Spider, having fallen from heaven to hell, remained calm and shouted at the puppet, “My mother is a big shot in the demon race, with boundless supernatural powers.”
“I’m her daughter, and if I die, my mother will track you down through karma.”
“Great Ascension Beast Sovereign, I’m so scared,” the puppet laughed.
The puppet pressed a finger against the Earth Crystal Spider’s forehead, sneering, “You think this little threat means anything?”
The Earth Crystal Spider’s eyes showed a hint of panic, but her spirit remained calm.
“You can try; you’re just a coward. You think you can kill me with this puppet?” The Earth Crystal Spider spoke, her eyes revealing a touch of hurt.
“Oh, let’s see what else you’ve got.” The puppet’s fingertip ignited with five-colored spirit fire, ready to pierce down.
“Crack~~”
The Earth Crystal Spider shattered like glass into countless pieces.
“I thought you were impressive; it’s just a trick,” Xu Fan chuckled.
At that moment, two slightly aged Five-Spirit Enlightened Monkeys walked over, carrying the Earth Crystal Spider.
“You know I excel in spatial techniques, yet you dare to escape into thin air? Does your entire clan lack brains?” the puppet addressed the bound Earth Crystal Spider.
“Shut up, I’m the smartest spider in my clan,” the Earth Crystal Spider retorted angrily.
“Come on, if you have any tricks, use them quickly. Don’t say I didn’t give you a chance,” the puppet said.
“Just wait for me,” the Earth Crystal Spider slowly transformed into a statue.
Then, a hand made of earth rose from nearby, grasping the Earth Crystal Spider.
At this moment, Xu Fan became interested; he didn’t expect to find a treasure in the Earth Crystal Spider, truly a multi-talented being.
“If you’re so capable, let me go and give me a half-hour head start,” the Earth Crystal Spider shouted.
“Change your request; that’s too much, but your Earth Source substitute technique is quite impressive.”
“Come on, what else do you have?”
An hourglass appeared above the Earth Crystal Spider, and fine sand began to flow down.
“What is this?!” The Earth Crystal Spider felt a sense of life-threatening danger for the first time.
“Nothing much, just your life source. Once the sand runs out, unless you can reverse time, even a true immortal can’t save you,” the puppet said.
“Can you let me off this time? I have a big secret to share with you,” the Earth Crystal Spider pleaded.
“Oh, a secret? Tell me about it,” the puppet said with interest.
“First, let me go,” the Earth Crystal Spider bargained.
At that moment, the flow of the sand in the hourglass suddenly sped up.
“Alright, I’ll talk.”
“My mother is now best friends with the current blood phoenix demon queen.”
The Earth Crystal Spider’s first sentence caught Xu Fan’s attention.
“And then?” the puppet asked.
“Back then, my mother met the Blood Phoenix during the Nascent Soul Stage. At that time, the Blood Phoenix was an anomaly among the beast race, without any clan to back her up.”
“To secure resources, the Blood Phoenix secretly used her body to win the favor of many bird race beast kings.”
Hearing this, Xu Fan’s interest was piqued, and he commanded the puppet, “Don’t stop; keep going.”
The sand in the hourglass above the Earth Crystal Spider began to flow more slowly.
“Since the Blood Phoenix was an anomaly, those bird race beast kings only met with her in secret.”
“It wasn’t until my mother and the Blood Phoenix reached the Great Ascension Beast Sovereign level that…”
At this point, the Earth Crystal Spider’s voice slowed down abruptly.
Then, the Earth Crystal Spider melted into a pool of blood and seeped into the ground.
Looking at the pool of blood, Xu Fan chuckled.
“So even the heavenly laws of the two realms have their own agendas, huh? Always keeping backup plans,” Xu Fan remarked.
In truth, when the puppet captured the Earth Crystal Spider, Xu Fan already knew he couldn’t kill it.
The moment he felt a killing intent toward the little spider, he sensed a giant beast watching him. If he dared to act, the consequences would be unimaginable.
The Void Refinement Stage Puppet, accompanied by the two Five-Spirit Enlightened Monkeys, stepped onto the teleportation formation to return to the Hidden Spirit Sect.
Just as the formation was about to activate, the puppet said lightly, “If you dare to escape, your Five-Spirit Enlightened Monkey tribe will never rise again.”
The two elderly Five-Spirit Enlightened Monkeys immediately knelt and pleaded, “We’re already half-crippled and can’t fight many battles for our master.”
“Please, spare us. We just want to spend our remaining days in the Demon Spirit Realm.”
“You’re overthinking it. Come back to the sect with me, and you’ll live out your days in peace,” the puppet said, grabbing the two monkeys and activating the teleportation formation back to the Hidden Spirit Sect.
“Grape, clean up the mess,” Xu Fan said as he stood up.
“Understood.”
After leaving the underground space, Xu Fan checked the time and headed to the Artifact Crafting Peak.
“Brother Sha, is the little sea ship ready?” Xu Fan asked.
“It’s done. I was thinking of making some improvements, but I can hand it over now if you need it,” Sha Diao replied.
“Give it to me now,” Xu Fan said.
After meeting the protagonist from the Demon Spirit Realm, Xu Fan felt a slight sense of urgency and decided to gather some Merit and Fortune for protection.
The Fortune he had obtained from Nine Phoenix Island had been completely depleted while saving Wang Yulun and reversing the flow of time, so he needed to find a way to gather more.
At the main peak of the Hidden Spirit Sect, Xu Fan met Shi Zhan, who had been in the Outer Sect for four years.
“You can head back now. Take this with you,” Xu Fan said, handing the spatial artifact containing the little sea ship to Shi Zhan.
“What is this, Grand Elder?” Shi Zhan asked.
“Don’t worry about it. Just give it to your fellow townsman,” Xu Fan said with a smile.
“I’ll give her ten times what she’s asking for, so she can develop faster,” Xu Fan decided to increase his investment.
“Thank you, Grand Elder,” Shi Zhan said excitedly, feeling he could finally make progress on Nine Phoenix Island.
“No need to thank me. Everyone has their own needs.”
“I need the Merit and Fortune gathered from the development of Nine Phoenix Island. Your fellow townsman needs more resources to develop the island. And you? You need her to receive support and share the joy with you,” Xu Fan said with a grin.
Hearing Xu Fan’s teasing, Shi Zhan lowered his head, his expression unreadable.
“You…” Xu Fan looked at him, not knowing what to say.
“I’ve disappointed you, Grand Elder,” Shi Zhan continued to look down.
“I understand you,” Xu Fan said. After all, some love is about protection—it’s enough if the other person is happy.
“The secret manual I gave you is no longer needed, but there’s something you should know,” Xu Fan said, his expression turning serious.
“Please, Grand Elder, tell me.”
“Everything in this world is governed by the principles of yin and yang, including cultivators. There will always be a great catastrophe of yin and yang.”
“Can you imagine your fellow townsman in another man’s arms?”
“Feng Chang Ning’s destiny includes a love injury calamity—not too big, not too small, but it will definitely happen,” Xu Fan said, leaving it at that.
Shi Zhan fell silent, as if picturing the most important person in his life with someone else.
“Grand Elder, do you have any more secret manuals?” Shi Zhan asked, his eyes filled with determination.
Xu Fan smiled. Love is love. It doesn’t matter as long as you’re happy. True happiness is being happy together.
