After returning to Jiangning, Ye Fan went straight to the Dark Night Demon Queen. Due to the conflict with the vampires and the Holy Court, she had completely withdrawn from Europe, but that was no longer necessary.

"The European Church Court has been wiped out by me. You can go to Europe without worry," Ye Fan told her.

The Dark Night Demon Queen was shocked. She had never expected that the seemingly invincible European Church Court could be annihilated just because Ye Fan said so.

At that moment, she said to him, "Since coming to the Divine Land, I’ve really grown to like everything here. The thought of suddenly leaving makes me a little reluctant!"

"If you’re reluctant, then don’t leave. Stay and keep me company!" Ye Fan said with a smile.

The conflict between them was ancient history, and their relationship had since eased.

The Dark Night Demon Queen said, "In your dreams. You have so many beauties around you; it’s not like you’re short one more!"

"Oh? Are you jealous?" Ye Fan laughed. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

"How could I be!" the Dark Night Demon Queen vehemently denied. Of course, she was jealous, but she absolutely couldn’t admit it. If she did, wouldn’t that mean she had lost?

Just as she was waiting for Ye Fan’s response, he suddenly swept her into his arms.

She wasn’t used to this and struggled, but Ye Fan said, "This time, I won’t let you escape so easily!"

He held the Dark Night Demon Queen tightly, his hands roaming freely. It had to be said, at this moment, he was an out-and-out Big Bad Wolf.

Ye Fan was incredibly satisfied. Although this wasn’t his first time conquering the Dark Night Demon Queen, doing so at this time and in this place was the ultimate symbol of a man’s success.

The Dark Night Demon Queen couldn’t resist. After all, Ye Fan’s combat power was immense, so she began to plead for mercy.

If Luo Yazhi hadn’t returned mid-session and helped relieve some of the pressure, she would have been utterly defeated. Of course, even with Luo Yazhi joining in, their situation didn’t improve much. Who could blame them, when they were facing a Ye Fan whose combat power was off the charts?

「The next day」

The Dark Night Demon Queen and Luo Yazhi left, as they had much to attend to over there for a long time.

Meanwhile, Ye Fan wasn’t idle. He continued to track the mysterious deathly aura from before. He was certain a powerful master had infiltrated the area, but he just couldn’t find them. This person was too cunning and had yet to reveal any weaknesses, which gave Ye Fan a major headache and forced him to delay his plans.

If he didn’t kill this individual, there would be no peace. He was certain that aside from himself, probably no one else in the world was a match for this person. He planned to lure them out.

When Ye Fan returned to the villa, Su Qingxue was gone.

Ye Fan asked the nanny, "Where did the Young Lady go?"

The nanny replied, "Ah, the Young Master is back. The Young Lady asked me to tell you that she has gone to Shangjing!"

"Shangjing?"

Ye Fan hadn’t expected Su Qingxue to go to Shangjing. He had assumed she went to Flame Valley. Therefore, he decided to make a personal trip to Shangjing. After all, she wasn’t answering his calls.

RING! RING!

Ye Fan picked up his phone and saw it was a call from his mother.

"Mom, what’s up?" Ye Fan asked Mrs. Jiang.

"What else could it be! Qingxue said you two have been intimate many times, but there’s still no news! I took her to the hospital for a check-up today!"

"Her body is perfectly fine. How dare you claim there’s nothing wrong with you? Are you impotent or something?!"

Ye Fan, who had just taken a sip of juice at the airport, sprayed it all out, drawing disgusted looks from the people around him. He quickly and awkwardly apologized.

"Mom, that’s not it at all!" he said. "I’m at the airport. I’ll be in Shangjing in two hours, tops."

But the line had already gone dead. Ye Fan knew this was a huge misunderstanding. It wasn’t that he couldn’t, but that he didn’t want to.

After learning how cruel the path of cultivation was, he didn’t dare have children. He had no idea when he might be killed, his life and cultivation completely extinguished. But that wasn’t all. Most importantly, he didn’t yet have the ability to protect his family. In the human Secular World, he was indeed unrivaled. But compared to the entire Spirit Domain, or even the Divine Race, he was far, far too weak. These were the many factors he was considering. It seemed he would have to explain this to his women.

As soon as he got off the plane, Ye Fan saw Mrs. Jiang already standing outside the airport. He went up to hug her, hoping to get on her good side.

But Mrs. Jiang wasn’t falling for it. She immediately pushed him away and complained, "Don’t call me ’Mom.’ I don’t deserve the title!"

"Mom, don’t be angry!" Ye Fan said awkwardly.

But Mrs. Jiang snapped, "Do you think just because you’re powerful and respected now, you can disown your own mother?"

"Of course not!" Ye Fan said, still embarrassed.

"Fine, then let me ask you this. If it were just Qingxue with no news, I’d let it slide and assume it was her problem. But what about Fang Nan? She’s been with you from the very beginning! There’s still been no news from her, and I’ve looked into your other women—it’s the same story with all of them! Don’t you dare tell me they’re the ones with the problem and you’re perfectly fine!"

Rendered speechless by Mrs. Jiang’s tirade, Ye Fan felt even more embarrassed. "Mom, can you really blame me for this?" he said. "It’s complicated, and I can’t explain it properly right now, but I promise I will!"

"Fine! But if you don’t have a good explanation, I won’t forgive you! And it won’t just be me—no one else in the family will forgive you either!"

At that, Ye Fan was at a loss for words. He knew returning to the Ye Family estate this time was likely to be more perilous than promising; he was probably walking into a storm of criticism. With no other choice, he could only follow Mrs. Jiang back, feeling utterly mortified.

His fears were confirmed the moment they arrived at the Ye Family estate. He hadn’t even set foot inside before several people were already staring him down, their gazes stern.

Ye Fan was terrified. Even when facing the Pope or the so-called Spirit Clan Commanders, he had never been this afraid! But faced with an interrogation from his own family, his confidence evaporated.

Fine, the women were one thing, but what was his own father getting involved for?

At that moment, Ye Tiannan took a long drag from his cigarette and said, "Son, if there really is a problem with your body, that’s okay. It’s best to solve it sooner rather than later."

Ye Fan nearly fainted. Why does every single one of them think there’s something wrong with me?

"There’s really nothing wrong with my body! You have to believe me!" Ye Fan hurriedly said.

"After all this, how can we possibly believe you?!" Mrs. Jiang scolded.

Ye Fan shot Su Qingxue a pleading look. You know perfectly well why we haven’t had children! Hurry up and explain!

But Su Qingxue avoided his desperate gaze, refusing his plea for help.

Fine! Faced with such a heartless woman, Ye Fan was truly helpless.

He then said, "To be honest, this whole situation is really complicated to explain!"

"What’s so complicated? Just spit it out! I can’t hold back Fang Nan’s family any longer. They’re demanding an explanation from you! How are we supposed to answer to her family? Are we supposed to tell them you’re impotent?"

It had to be said, with such an aggressive family, what could Ye Fan do? He was utterly speechless.
