Chapter 819, I’ll Follow You For Life

So, in summary, what he needed to do now was find Ouyang Bai Ge and get to the bottom of everything. He needed to find out exactly what was going on.

 

Lu Fan did not plan to linger in Southern Black Port any longer than necessary. He wanted to return to Dragon Capital University as soon as possible.

 

Returning would be far simpler than the journey here.

 

He had already left a Transport Array at Shadow Isle that connected to Dragon Capital University. All he needed to do was set up another Transport Array here that led back to Shadow Isle, and he could use it as a transfer point to return directly to Dragon Capital University.

 

There was nothing left for Lu Fan in Southern Black Port worth staying for, so he decided to leave immediately and bid farewell to Cui Ziyi and the others.

 

When Cui Ziyi heard that Lu Fan intended to leave right away, she felt somewhat reluctant to see him go.

 

After all, their time together had made them quite familiar with each other. Calling them friends would not be an overstatement.

 

Cui Ziyi herself was ‘righteous and loyal’. Anyone she considered a friend, she treated like a true Brother.

 

So, she was extremely reluctant to see Lu Fan leave so suddenly. No matter what he said, she insisted on making him stay for one more night. At the very least, the Heavenly Dragon Gang should hold a grand feast and organize some kind of farewell ceremony.

 

Lu Fan had helped the Heavenly Dragon Gang tremendously. In just one day, he had consecutively cleared nine Secret Realms and given them all the Rewards, making them wealthy in one fell swoop.

 

If they did not do something special before seeing Lu Fan off, Cui Ziyi and the others would genuinely feel uncomfortable about it.

 

However, Lu Fan could only smile and decline.

 

He explained that he still had many extremely important matters to attend to.

 

Apart from the front lines in the Far North, during this tenth Secret Realm, he seemed to have discovered an earth-shattering secret.

 

If he did not figure out this secret, Dragon Capital might have a hidden danger lurking within it.

 

The secret Lu Fan spoke of existed at a level beyond Cui Ziyi’s reach. This was a fact she understood well.

 

So, when Cui Ziyi saw Lu Fan’s resolve to immediately leave, she no longer tried to stop him.

 

She only said that if Lu Fan ever had the time, he must return to Southern Black Port, and she would definitely treat him well.

 

Of course, that was assuming she and her Heavenly Dragon Gang still existed by then.

 

Southern Black Port was a place where all sorts of people mingled together. It was a zone of chaos. Cui Ziyi did not believe she could survive here forever.

 

Who knew? One day, some gang might overthrow her. By then, she would not be alive to see Lu Fan again.

 

More importantly, she did not think Lu Fan would return to Southern Black Port anytime soon. This chaotic place was far from Dragon Country. As Dragon Country’s Spark, why would Lu Fan come back here unless he had a specific reason to?

 

This farewell might very well be forever.

 

This thought left Cui Ziyi feeling rather melancholic. However, since she and Lu Fan were not lovers bound by eternal vows, she could accept it. It just felt like this parting was somewhat regrettable.

 

Seeing Cui Ziyi like this, Lu Fan smiled. A plan formed in his mind, and he said. “Then we’ll meet again someday. I can guarantee that once this world’s crisis is resolved, I’ll return here to drink and reminisce with you. At that time, I’ll bring a few of my friends and introduce you to my Aunt.”

 

“My Aunt’s culinary skills are extraordinary. If we have her here preparing the dishes to lighten up our drinks, I guarantee you’ll enjoy them so much you’ll want to devour your own tongue.”

 

Upon hearing this, Cui Ziyi laughed heartily. “Hahaha! Alright then, it’s settled. I really want to see just how great your beautiful Aunt’s cooking skills truly are.”

 

After a pause, Cui Ziyi smiled helplessly and said. “Well then, since you’re in such a hurry to return, do go. I’m just one among the masses. The task of saving this world definitely won’t fall on my shoulders. It will fall on yours. Do your best. I’ll be praying for your success here in Southern Black Port!”

 

“En, thanks!” Lu Fan smiled, then turned to Ning Shuan’er. “Speaking of which, what about you? I’m about to return to Dragon Capital. Are you still planning to follow me?”

 

Ning Shuan’er was still rather angry, but when Lu Fan asked this question, she responded with firm determination. “Of course I’ll follow you. I’ll follow you for life!”

 

Lu Fan thought for a moment. “Then do you want to come with me back to my Territory first, and then go to Dragon Capital? It only takes me a few minutes to return to Dragon Capital, but if you travel from here to Dragon Capital on your own, it would probably take several days. Along the way, you’d likely encounter all kinds of Monsters and pass through various Forbidden Areas. Using my Territory as a transfer point would be much safer.”

 

Lu Fan’s invitation for Ning Shuan’er to return with him left her stunned.

 

After quite some time, she finally said in surprise. “You mean… you’re going to take me with you, instead of leaving me here to trek over the mountains and rivers trying to find you?”

 

Lu Fan replied. “Obviously! If I wanted to make sure you couldn’t find me, it would be ridiculously easy. I’d just need to set up three Transport Arrays and I could lead you around like I’m walking a dog. I can ensure you’d never ever find me again.”

 

“It’s just that with this world being filled with crises right now, I have no time and energy to torment you like that. At the very least, I should bring you to a relatively safe place like Dragon Capital. Otherwise, if you died on the road, I might as well have killed you directly myself. At least then I could have looted some equipment from your body.”

 

After receiving Lu Fan’s affirmative answer, Ning Shuan’er did not mind the disdainful tone of his latter remarks. Instead, her eyes lit up as she happily said. “So, in other words, you’re worried about me?”

 

Lu Fan’s face darkened. “Take it or leave it. If you won’t come with me, then walk on your own two feet!”

 

“No, no, no! I’ll go with you!” Ning Shuan’er smiled. “This is just perfect. I’d also like to see what your Territory is actually like. If I can get the Coordinates, then finding you in the future will be much more convenient.”

 

Lu Fan waved his hand dismissively. “You won’t be able to find it. Even if I told you exactly where my Territory Coordinates are, you still wouldn’t be able to enter.”

 

“Previously, a Level 135 expert tried to enter my Territory and immediately died. With your level of strength, you think you can enter my Territory? Stop daydreaming. I’m just giving you a ride along the way. The only result of you setting foot there would be death.”

 

“*Hmph!* If that happens, what’s it to you?” Ning Shuan’er pursed her lips, her thoughts unknown.

 

Then, realizing she might be leaving soon, after some consideration, she approached Cui Ziyi and handed her a Scroll.

 

“This is…” Cui Ziyi looked puzzled.

 

Ning Shuan’er smiled. “It’s just a Summoning Scroll. After you crush it, I’ll sense it and can choose whether to accept the Summon and come help you. Keep it safe. If you encounter danger in the future, call me over and I’ll help you kill whoever’s threatening you!”
