Chapter 32 Ye Fan: Brother, should I call you sister or younger sister?
The plot is heating up: Update! Come and check it out!
Deep within the Kunlun Secret Realm,
A misty haze hangs in the air, and the melodious songs of birds fill the air.
This created a wonderful and harmonious transition from the previous stagnant atmosphere.
Ye Fan supported his parents, feeling the slight coolness and trembling of their palms.
That is the unease and awe that ordinary people instinctively feel when facing the extraordinary world.
Yan Ruyu, who was sitting quietly by the stream, trying to comprehend the rich Taoist atmosphere of the place, also stood up.
She stood quietly to one side, her lake-green palace dress swaying gently in the wind, her long hair flowing like a waterfall, her temperament cool and otherworldly, like a fairy from the moon palace.
Amidst the hustle and bustle of Ye Fan's family reunion, her beautiful eyes first fell on Ye Chen, then quickly looked away.
Yan Ruyu glanced casually at the white-clad empress who filled her with awe.
Finally, their gaze fell upon Ye Fan's parents and Xu Qiong beside him.
A faint ripple of curiosity, scrutiny, and a complex emotion that defies easy comprehension flashed across her eyes.
That was an expression she had never shown before, outside the Demon Emperor's tomb, in the life-or-death struggle.
These are Ye Chen's family members!
It is where he came from, and also the worldly ties he cannot sever.
"Dad, Mom, I brought you here this time for two reasons. First, for your safety—the Kunlun Secret Realm is extraordinary—and secondly..."
Ye Fan didn't say much in the mortal realm.
He simply told the two elders that his brother was cultivating in Kunlun, which tricked them into coming over.
Now that they've arrived, Ye Fan naturally wants to make it clear that he wants the two elders to cultivate here, so they won't die of old age in the mortal realm.
"Dad, Mom, and Xiaoqiong, let me formally introduce myself."
"This is my younger sister, Ye Nan, whom I reunited with after many years of hardship!"
Ye Chen's tone was gentle yet solemn.
He did not use the honorific titles "Ruthless Emperor" or "Empress," but instead used the simplest and most approachable form of address.
This title seems to instantly strip away the eternal imperial majesty, leaving only the bond of kinship thicker than blood.
Mr. and Mrs. Ye are no longer ordinary citizens.
In recent days, Ye Fan has been subtly instilling some knowledge of cultivation into them.
Although the two could not see the Empress's face clearly, she was ethereal and otherworldly, and her aura seemed to freeze the air. She was clearly a fairy-like figure.
Moreover, when Ye Chen mentioned her, there was an unusual solemnity and intimacy about it.
"Is...is it Xiaonan?"
"Good child, from now on we are your family."
Despite the turmoil raging within them, the two elders suppressed their shock and forced themselves to put on kind smiles.
Ye's mother even nodded slightly, her voice tinged with nervousness and her hometown accent.
The Empress seemed slightly taken aback.
The chaotic energy that was isolating the other party seemed to fluctuate for a moment.
She never imagined that someone would greet her so casually, treating her like a child who needed care and could come home.
This unfamiliar yet warm feeling is like a pebble thrown into a still lake, creating shallow ripples.
In the end, she did not speak.
He simply nodded slightly again in response.
But the tenderness that arose because of Ye Chen quietly grew even stronger.
Ye Chen felt a warmth in his heart, knowing that this was a huge change for the Empress.
"This is Yan Ruyu, the princess of the Eastern Wilderness Demon Clan in the Big Dipper Star Region, and one of my... good friends."
Immediately afterwards, Ye Chen turned to Yan Ruyu, his voice still calm.
He carefully considered his choice of words, avoiding those that carried a stronger personal emotional connotation.
After all, due to the Empress's intervention, the two have not yet become Daoist partners.
However, Ye Chen had already placed the Demon Emperor's Sacred Heart in the Chaos Sea of Bitterness, so they could be considered to have the "real relationship of Daoist partners".
"Uncle, Aunt, Ruyu greets you."
Yan Ruyu moved forward lightly with her lotus-like steps.
She bowed gracefully to Ye's parents, her demeanor elegant and poised, displaying the bearing of royalty.
Her beauty and temperament were already unparalleled, and her impeccable manners immediately caught the eye of Ye's parents.
"Miss Ruyu is truly a fairy-like figure."
Mother Ye was slightly less nervous after being shocked by the Empress's aura.
She looked at the stunningly beautiful, fairy-like figure before her, her eyes filled with amazement and kindness.
Ye's father stroked his sparse beard and nodded repeatedly, his gaze towards Ye Chen carrying a hint of scrutiny.
Clearly, Ye's father had already made some additional assumptions about the definition of "friend" in his mind, which belonged to the parents.
Standing next to Ye Fan, Xu Qiong couldn't help but raise her eyes and secretly sized up Yan Ruyu.
Even though Ye Fan had told her about the various secrets of the cultivation world, she had never seen such a classical beauty who seemed to have stepped out of a painting.
Xu Qiong was still intimidated by that transcendent aura, and a sense of inferiority arose in her heart. She subconsciously took half a step closer to Ye Fan.
Ye Fan sensed Xu Qiong's subtle movements.
He reached out and gently squeezed her hand, giving her a comforting look.
"Brother, and... Sister Ye Nan, Miss Yan, this is Xu Qiong, my girlfriend."
Ye Fan coughed lightly and formally introduced Xu Qiong to everyone.
"I apologize for disturbing you."
Xu Qiong was poised and generous.
Despite her nervousness, she remained polite.
In particular, when he saw the woman in white whom Ye Chen called "little sister".
Although she felt that the other person was as distant as the cold moon in the sky, the unspoken closeness between her and Ye Chen gave her a strange sense of warmth.
"Ye Fan, what are you calling me? Ye Nan is my sister, you should address her respectfully as 'Empress Sister'!"
"If you ever cause trouble in the Eastern Wilderness and have to flee into the Ancient Forbidden Land, as the daughter of the Wilderness Lord, I will barely spare your life for the sake of your brother."
Ye Chen rolled his eyes at Ye Fan, clearly annoyed.
Do you really think that just because someone is your twin brother, you can be above the Empress and have her call you "Brother Ye Fan"?
Be careful, the Empress might make things difficult for you and show you what the Bitter Leaf Faction is all about.
Ye Chen's casual remark struck Ye Fan like a thunderbolt from a clear sky, leaving him utterly stunned.
"What?"
Ye Fan's smile froze instantly.
His eyes were wide open, and his mouth was agape enough to fit an egg.
He looked at the Empress, then at Ye Chen, as if trying to confirm whether he had misheard.
"The Lord of the Forbidden Ancient Land?"
Ye Fan was struck dumb, his mind went completely blank.
Even the major holy lands and ancient families keep it a secret. The ancient forbidden land, which is known as a place where there is no chance of survival, is actually ruled by her.
Is this the girl in front of me, dressed in white as snow, so quiet that she's almost invisible?
Ye Fan felt a chill run from the soles of his feet straight to the top of his head, and his scalp tingled with shock.
No wonder Ye Chen was able to easily subdue several imperial weapons in front of the Demon Emperor's tomb.
Now everything makes sense!
He suddenly looked at Ye Chen, his eyes filled with disbelief, sudden realization, and deep shock.
My own brother is not only incredibly skilled in cultivation, but even his ability to adopt a sister is at this level?
He recalled the days when he was on the edge of the forbidden area, carefully avoiding disturbing the "wild slaves," and his feelings were extremely complicated.
This isn't just about recognizing a younger sister; it's practically a super-powerful, golden opportunity!
No, this is no longer a golden thigh, it should be called—a pillar supporting the sky!
