Chapter 297: Chapter 297: Keep Your WordThe Ye Family’s villa in Yanjing boasted the world’s top international security system and equipment, and many Ye Family Martial Artists, both overtly and covertly, provided protection. It was almost impossible for Martial Artists below the Earth Level Realm to harm Ye Wumei, so there was no need to worry about her safety. So far, Fang Bai had not encountered a single Earth Level Martial Artist, so he was not worried about Ye Wumei’s personal safety. Furthermore, once a Martial Artist’s cultivation reached the Earth Level Realm, a state of detachment from the mundane world would develop, fostering a greater focus on cultivation, in pursuit of higher realms within the Martial Dao, or even the legendary and elusive Path of Longevity. For Martial Artists above Earth Level, worldly fame and fortune often seemed like fleeting clouds, unworthy of mention. Therefore, those Hidden Sect Experts with Earth Level or even Heaven Level Martial Artists rarely appeared in the secular world, to avoid being blinded by worldly distractions and affecting their hearts’ pursuit of the Dao. After watching Ye Wumei enter the Ye Family villa, escorted by several Profound Level Martial Artists from the Ye Family, Fang Bai felt relieved to leave. Arriving back at the courtyard he was renting, just as Fang Bai was crawling out of the sedan, the Lightning Mink, sensing his presence, leapt over the high walls and shot out like a streak of white light, landing on his shoulder and affectionately rubbing against Fang Bai’s cheek. At the same time, the door of the courtyard creaked open, and Ghost Hand appeared in front of Fang Bai, grinning and rubbing his head. "Xiao Bai, you’ve made quite some progress in your strength recently!" Holding the Lightning Mink in his arms and stroking its smooth, soft white fur, Fang Bai said with satisfaction. "Yeah, Ghost Hand isn’t bad either, you didn’t slack off while I was away!" After praising the Lightning Mink, Fang Bai nodded and smiled at Ghost Hand. Before Fang Bai left for Yanjing the last time, he had left behind a wealth of cultivation resources for both the Lightning Mink and Ghost Hand. The aura of both had grown much stronger. When Fang Bai first discovered the Lightning Mink in the Five Elements Origin Qi Cauldron at the bottom of the Mysterious Pit, its strength was already equivalent to a Profound Level high-rank Martial Artist. Now, after devouring the cultivation resources Fang Bai left behind and sleeping amidst Essence Stones every day to absorb the Essence Energy, its strength was close to the Perfection of Profound Level Realm. In the eyes of others, the Lightning Mink seemed lazy and adorable, but nobody would expect that this seemingly harmless little creature possessed an extremely formidable attack and destructive power. As for Ghost Hand, his strength had advanced from the mid-stage of the Yellow Level to the high stage of the Yellow Level, making a small realm progression in a short time, which proved him to be a rare cultivation prodigy with an Innate Metal Spirit Root. "Uncle Baili, Aunt Jiang, Mingyue, hello!" Upon entering the courtyard, Fang Bai saw that Baili Zhan and his family had already stood up, ready to greet him, and he smiled and gave them a clasped hand salute. Then his gaze fell upon Jiang Yuzhi, and after a glance at her, he nodded and said, "Aunt Jiang’s recovery has been good. In a while, your strength will be restored to its former state. Congratulations!" "Haha, this is all thanks to Brother Fang’s magic hands! Without your method of fighting poison with poison, Yuzhi would have long since left this world!" seaʀᴄh thё Nôvel(F)ire.nёt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Baili Zhan said with a big laugh. After the "Man-Eating Flower" poison in Jiang Yuzhi’s body was expelled by Fang Bai, Baili Zhan was in great spirits, always wearing a smile on his face which became much rosier, free from troubles, making the family of three’s life exceptionally comfortable. "Fang Bai, last time you promised to teach me Ancient Martial arts, but you still haven’t, did you forget? I don’t care, this time you have to teach me, otherwise I’ll pester you every day until you do!" Baili Mingyue brightened up at the sight of Fang Bai, dashed to his side in an arrow-like step, and wrapped her arms around one of his arms. Seventeen-year-old Baili Mingyue, with a graceful figure and standing up to Fang Bai’s eyebrows, radiated youth and vigor. "Cough cough... Mingyue, it’s not that I forgot, it’s just that I’ve been too busy lately... Alright, I have some free time these few days, so I’ll start teaching you martial arts," Fang Bai said with a few coughs, feeling somewhat embarrassed as he saw Baili Zhan and his wife smiling warmly at the two of them. "Then you better keep your word!" Baili Mingyue, hearing this, finally let go of his arm. After chatting in the courtyard for a while, Baili Mingyue checked the time and reluctantly left for school. In this year’s college entrance examination, Baili Mingyue performed exceptionally well and, against her parents’ expectations, was admitted to Yanjing University, where she had been studying for some time now. Even upon entering the university, Baili Mingyue, the "Little Witch", hasn’t changed her nature. Some second-generation rich and officials who coveted her beauty and sought her favors had almost all been taught a lesson by her. Although Baili Mingyue was not yet a Martial Artist, she inherited her parents’ excellent genes and learned some self-defense techniques from her father. She could take on three to five average men, so those who only knew to chase after girls at the university and were becoming hollowed out were hardly her match. Fortunately, those second-generation rich and officials who were taught a lesson by Baili Mingyue knew they were wrong and kept quiet for the time being, not seeking revenge, otherwise Baili Mingyue’s days might not have been so smooth. Regardless, Baili Mingyue’s nickname "Little Witch" quickly spread again through Yanjing University, discouraging male students from easily flirting with this rose with thorns, lest they end up with bloody hands. In the eyes of Baili Zhan and Jiang Yuzhi, their daughter Baili Mingyue was very obedient, especially after the incident involving the disciples of "Yunnv Sect" and "Ghost Doctor Valley" two Hidden Sects. They thought their daughter would behave just as well at the university. Little did they know that their daughter had already made a name for herself at Yanjing University, where the nickname "Little Witch" caused many male students to shudder in fear. Not long after Baili Mingyue left, Baili Zhan also went to his slaughterhouse job, while Jiang Yuzhi, having recovered her health, found work in a nearby supermarket. The couple both concealed their identities as Martial Artists from the Hidden Sects, blending in as ordinary people into the local societal life. Even though "Ghost Doctor Valley" and "Yunnv Sect" from the Hidden Sects might still be secretly searching for them, the couple were both Profound Level High Rank Martial Artists. They could hold their own in a fight against disciples from the two big Hidden Sects, and their workplaces were close to the courtyard. If they were overwhelmed, they still had a chance to flee to the vicinity of the courtyard and call for help from the Lightning Mink. Never underestimate the Lightning Mink; though it spends its days in a lazy, listless manner, if it really starts to move, not even the combined strength of Baili Zhan and Jiang Yuzhi could withstand its fierce attacks. That’s why Fang Bai always left the Lightning Mink at the courtyard whenever he left the house.
