However.
At this moment.
A fleeting shadow swept by, taking Qingde and disappearing without a trace.
It was Xuanyang.
His robes were ragged, his old face bloody and blurry.
His aura was somewhat depleted.
It seemed he had suffered a significant loss.
Just as “Banished Immortal Drunk” was within reach, it suddenly vanished.
Jiang Fan was furious: “You old bastard!”
“Why weren’t you killed by the East Sea Demon Emperor?”
Thud—
The East Sea Demon Emperor returned, her breathtakingly beautiful face brimming with a sense of satisfaction and relief.
It seemed she had finally vented her anger.
“Congratulations, Senior Yizhu.”
The East Sea Demon Emperor looked at Jiang Fan and grabbed his arm, eyes full of gratitude.
“Jiang Fan, you are a benefactor to our East Sea Demon Clan!”
“How should I thank you?”
Jiang Fan smiled gently: “When Senior Yizhu helped my Continent, she never thought of asking for any reward.”
“Now that I help the East Sea Demon Clan, I naturally won’t ask you for anything in return either.”
“Let’s call it even, Senior Yizhu. Don’t be concerned.”
What a good boy!
The East Sea Demon Emperor was truly moved.
Clearly, Jiang Fan could take advantage and ask for benefits, and she wouldn’t be able to refuse.
But he didn’t ask for anything.
“Jiang Fan…”
Her crystal eyes misted over.
The last time anyone protected her like this was when her husband was alive.
Jiang Fan smiled wryly: “Senior Yizhu, please don’t cry.”
“Vice Building Owner Gu is still down below; don’t let her see and make fun of you.”
The East Sea Demon Emperor quickly wiped the moisture from her eyes.
The more she looked at Jiang Fan, the more endearing he seemed.
“From now on, don’t call me senior.”
“Call me aunt.”
How could Jiang Fan not know the immense impact a single “aunt” could have on a woman?
The worldly rule!
Meet older women than yourself.
It’s acceptable to call those who you should call grandmother as aunt.
But remember to call those you should call aunt as sister!
“Alright, Sister Yizhu.”
The East Sea Demon Emperor’s face blossomed into a smile: “Sweet-talker you are.”
“No wonder you can have several wives.”
She really was worried Jiang Fan would call her aunt.
Though she indeed was of an aunt’s age.
But what woman wants to admit she’s been defeated by time?
“Alright, back to the palace we go, and I’ll treat you with the highest Eastern Sea courtesy!”
The Yizhu Demon Emperor was full of gratitude.
Jiang Fan shook his head.
He pointed at the long dampness soaking through her chest.
“Sister Yizhu, don’t mind me, you should quickly heal.”
She had already been seriously injured in the battle with the Hell Beast.
