Chapter 297 Breakup

Xiao Fan is in a very good mood right now.

It is said that people are in high spirits when they have good things to do, and Xiao Fan is now at the most carefree and comfortable time since his rebirth.

After all, he had just had a fruitful debate with Her Majesty the Queen in the cave.

If it weren't for his special physique and the strength of a Dou Huang expert, Xiao Fan might not have been able to defeat Her Majesty the Queen.

She also used some forbidden techniques, and Xiao Fan could still almost feel the Queen's fiery red lips...

"I can't think about it anymore, I can't think about it anymore..."

Xiao Fan shook his head, dispelling the thoughts in his mind. After all, a whole day had passed since they entered the cave, and they absolutely couldn't waste the precious free time on such a boring thing.

During his period of spiritual enlightenment, Xiao Fan had already planned the next few days of their trip. They would travel along the way, enjoying the scenery, showing You Ruo around human cities, and then heading to the territory of the snake people.

However, You Ruo, who was following behind Xiao Fan, still had a cold face.

She really felt that her actions in the cave were completely unbecoming of a queen.

You Ruo glanced at Xiao Fan reproachfully, then unconsciously touched her lips with her right hand...

After leaving the cave, Xiao Fan held You Ruo's slender fingers and said softly, "Let's go. Next, we'll relax completely for a while."

You Ruo nodded without refuting.

So, within the Gama Empire, they traveled from the border cities inwards, abandoning flight and treating themselves as ordinary people as they headed towards the Snake-People tribe.

At first, their appearances caused them a lot of trouble, which Xiao Fan easily resolved, but it still disturbed their vacation.

So, after discussing it, the two of them disguised themselves and immediately looked like a couple deeply in love, having a great time.

At first, You Ruo couldn't let go of her queenly airs, but she couldn't resist Xiao Fan's persuasion. Coupled with the long-standing responsibilities that made her somewhat irritable, she agreed to Xiao Fan's suggestion and completely let go of her status, freely strolling around with Xiao Fan.

......

Five days later...

Sand City, on the border of the Tagor Desert.

A couple with ordinary appearances walked hand in hand out of the place where flying monsters transported passengers. Looking at the adventurers and mercenaries coming and going in front of them, Xiao Fan stretched.

"Tsk tsk tsk, these flying magical beasts are too slow. It's only the distance between two cities, but it takes a whole day to fly. My whole body aches from sitting here."

When You Ruo heard Xiao Fan's complaint, she glanced at him and said helplessly, "Didn't you say yourself that you wanted to return to simplicity and relive the hardships of the past?"

As she spoke, You Ruo reached out and pinched Xiao Fan.

After all, relying on Xiao Fan's status as an alchemist, the two of them were traveling on a flying magical beast with a separate compartment. Inside their room, Xiao Fan wasn't idle...

"hey-hey."

Over the past few days, Xiao Fan has become accustomed to You Ruo's methods.

You Ruo seems much more cheerful now. Of course, this is only in front of Xiao Fan. In front of strangers, she still has a cold face. But Xiao Fan doesn't care about that. As long as You Ruo is happy, that's all that matters.

"Let's go, this is the last stop, our Queen, we're about to go home."

As he spoke, Xiao Fan took You Ruo's hand and hurried into the city.

Within the city of Sand City, mercenaries still come and go. These are people who make a living in the Tagor Desert. They always have some wounds on their bodies and their faces are covered with rough skin sculpted by the desert winds.

It didn't take long for Xiao Fan and You Ruo to reach the entrance of a spacious courtyard.

At the entrance to the courtyard, two mercenaries stood like statues, surveying the passing crowd. When they saw Xiao Fan and his companion approaching, they said coldly, "Halt! This is the territory of the Iron Cavalry Mercenary Group. If you have a commission to submit, please register over there."

As he spoke, he pointed to a courtyard not far away.

Looking at the person who spoke, Xiao Fan's eyes flashed with fighting spirit, and he clearly sensed the person's strength.

"Seventh level of Battle Qi. It seems the Iron Cavalry Mercenary Group is developing much better than I imagined."

After all, around the Tagor Desert, having a Grand Master is basically enough to dominate a region.

Back then, whether it was the struggle between the three families in Wutan City or the war that changed hands in Shacheng, the Fighting Master was already a mainstay of the forces.

Disciples at the higher levels of Dou Qi generally wield considerable influence.

"I'm not here to issue a commission; I'm here to see your leader, Han Jue."

Xiao Fan didn't make things difficult for the disciple. He shook his head and said softly.

Upon hearing Xiao Fan's words, the mercenary standing at the door frowned, sized up Xiao Fan, and hesitated. After all, Xiao Fan and You Ruo were still in disguise and did not look like people who could recognize their leader.

"Tsk, I forgot about that."

Seeing the mercenary's eyes, Xiao Fan realized what was happening and waved his hand, revealing himself and You Ruo's appearances again.

Upon seeing Xiao Fan and You Ruo's faces, the mercenary's expression was one of utter astonishment. It was mainly You Ruo's appearance that shocked him so much. This lowly mercenary, who had never left Sand City, had never seen such a stunningly beautiful woman before.

"Oh...you...please wait a moment."

After saying that, the young mercenary blushed and glanced at You Ruo before running inside.

You Ruo was used to such looks. If it were before, if anyone dared to look at her like that, she would have twisted their head off and kicked it like a ball. However, because of Xiao Fan and because she had been in a good mood along the way, You Ruo didn't say anything. She waved her hand and put on a veil.

Not long after, the young mercenary came out again, followed by a young man who looked to be no more than twenty years old.

"It turns out to be someone I know."

Xiao Fan looked at the people behind him and couldn't help but say something.

This man was the errand boy Xiao Fan had asked Han Jue to deliver the map of the Strange Fire to Xiao Yan. His name was Yuan Wen, and he was also Han Jue's confidant.

"Son!"

From afar, Yuan Wen naturally saw Xiao Fan as well. He quickly walked over to Xiao Fan and respectfully bowed.

After all, if it weren't for Xiao Fan, they wouldn't have been able to unify Shacheng so quickly.

"Hehe, Yuan Wen, right? I didn't expect it to be you."

"Please come in, young master. It's been a long time since you've been here."

Upon seeing Xiao Fan, Yuan Wen's eyes flickered, and he then respectfully invited Xiao Fan and his companion into the Iron Cavalry Mercenary Group.

After inviting Xiao Fan and the others into the hall to sit down, Yuan Wen immediately sent someone to invite Han Jue.

"It seems you've had a good two years."

Xiao Fan sized up Yuan Wen. Yuan Wen's strength had now reached the peak of the eight-star Dou Shi, and it seemed that he was not far from breaking through.

"Hehe, this is all thanks to your help back then, young master."

Yuan Wen stood in front of Xiao Fan and said with a smile, "Young Master, you don't know, since we unified Sand City, thanks to the recommendation of Young Master Xiao Yan, we and the Mo Iron Mercenary Group of Mo City have been mutually supportive, and there is basically no crisis."

While Xiao Fan was listening to Yuan Wen talk about the development of the Iron Cavalry Mercenary Group over the past two years, Han Jue, the group's leader, finally arrived late.

"Son."

Han Jue walked in, glanced at Xiao Fan sitting in the superior position, paused imperceptibly, and then stepped into the hall and sat down in the lower position.

Xiao Fan watched Han Jue's actions, a glint of light flashing in his eyes.

At this moment, Han Jue, with his three-star Dou Ling strength and his long-standing reputation within the mercenary group, seems to be harboring some other thoughts...

Xiao Fan's guess was correct. Having held a high position for a long time, and after consuming the Hundred Herbs, his strength had increased by leaps and bounds, reaching the level of a three-star Dou Ling. He even had the idea of ​​taking over the surrounding cities.

Mo Shang had also investigated Xiao Fan, who had helped him in the past, out of curiosity. Although he couldn't find out his background, he was not unfamiliar with the Mo Tie Mercenary Group and Xiao Yan.

After all, the news of Yunlan Sect's annulment of the engagement had caused quite a stir, and Xiao Yan's name would inevitably reach Han Jue's ears. Knowing that the other party came from a small place like Wutan City, most of the mystery surrounding Xiao Fan was removed from Han Jue's mind.

Having fought his enemies, who were all at the same level as Great Dou Masters, with a clear reason for it, Han Jue now sees Xiao Fan's strength as nothing special, which is why he has such thoughts.

Seeing Han Jue's expression, Xiao Fan smiled and shook his head. After all, Han Jue was the first subordinate he had planned to train in his spare time, so Han Jue still held a special place in Xiao Fan's heart. But at this moment, for some reason, Xiao Fan suddenly lost the intention to continue the conversation.

Once someone gains a little power, they try to usurp their master's authority; such a person will never be able to settle down.

Shaking his head, Xiao Fan had no intention of staying any longer and got up.

"Uh...Young Master, what's going on?"

Han Jue looked at Xiao Fan's actions with some confusion.

"It's nothing. I was originally planning to discipline the pets at home because they were being disobedient, but now I've suddenly lost interest. Disobedient animals can just be thrown away, right, Han Jue?"

Upon hearing Xiao Fan's words, Han Jue's expression froze for a moment, then he smiled faintly and said, "What you say is true, young master. I just wonder if you'll hurt your hand when you throw it."

Hearing the conversation between the two, Yuan Wen hesitated to speak. As Han Jue's confidant, he could naturally see Han Jue's ambition, but he could only see a thick fog of mystery in Xiao Fan. Hearing Han Jue's words, he didn't know whether he should interrupt.

Chapter 298 Return to the Snake-People Clan

Han Jue's ambition swelled with his strength at the Dou Ling realm. Although he still maintained a certain level of respect for Xiao Fan, he believed that with his Dou Ling strength, he was already qualified to earn Xiao Fan's attention.

In truth, this can only be blamed on his limited vision, confined to the small Gama Empire, where he assumed that reaching the Douling realm would allow him to achieve something significant.

As Han Jue finished speaking, before Xiao Fan could even reply, You Ruo couldn't hold back any longer.

Swish!

A powerful aura emanated from You Ruo, yet it was subtly confined to the hall.

Han Jue's originally calm smile suddenly changed, and he was completely overwhelmed by You Ruo's aura, collapsing to the ground in a disheveled state.

In that instant, all of Han Jue's thoughts vanished.

The aura emanating from You Ruo far surpassed that of anyone he had ever seen before.
