Chapter 410

The next day, Chen Fan returned to the Zhenyuan Army. He first met with Ye Wentian briefly, and then returned to his new residence—a brand-new manor located near Xuanxin Island.

This manor was specially ordered by Ye Wentian to be built a month ago. There was an engineering unit composed of ability users in the Zhenyuan Army, and the core members were mostly earth-type and gold-type ability users, with amazing construction efficiency. A manor could be completed in less than ten days.

Just as he stepped into the manor, Black Crow greeted him respectfully.

"Master, you are back."

"Hmm!" Chen Fan nodded, then asked: "How is that heart?"

Black Crow naturally knew what Chen Fan was asking about and hurriedly said: "Master, 70% of the blood from that heart has been extracted. If it needs to be extracted to 90%, it will take another five days."

Chen Fan raised his hand and patted Black Crow on the shoulder, his tone carrying approval: "Five days is fine, thank you for your hard work."

Returning to his residence, Chen Fan dived into the bedroom at the first opportunity. These days he had been drifting and fighting in blood, his nerves always tense. Only when he was inside the Zhenyuan Army did he dare to let down his guard and sleep peacefully.

Waking up from sleep, it was already early the next morning. Chen Fan rubbed his brow, retrieved the latest news and military secret reports at the first opportunity, and seeing that the order in all major cities was orderly, and there was no news of strange beast raids or Beast Worship Cult mischief, he finally felt completely relieved.

After breakfast, Chen Fan first took a detour to the Jiangcai Camp to exchange pleasantries and reminisce with old friends who had trained together in the past. Now his strength far exceeded these comrades-in-arms. Even if the head coach of the Jiangcai Camp, Zhan Ye, came in person, he might not necessarily be able to take advantage of him. Staying in the camp for training was simply a waste of time.

Precisely because of this, Ye Wentian specially approved that he no longer needed to participate in regular training, but also set a rule: he needed to wait until he broke through to the Grandmaster realm before he could officially graduate and be transferred to an important other-dimensional pass to serve.

This was protection for him—after all, the Beast Worship Cult hated him to the bone. Now that he had not fully grown up, being exposed to the forefront too early would inevitably lead to being plotted against.

After saying goodbye to his old friends, Chen Fan headed straight for Xuanxin Island. After paying a visit to Ye Wentian, he took the Through-Back Demon Ape away from Xuanxin Island.

In the days that followed, Chen Fan did not stop for a moment. Every morning, earth-shattering collision sounds would erupt from the martial arts field behind the manor. He and the Through-Back Demon Ape fought and sparred with full force, fist winds tearing the sky, beast roars shaking the valley. Every confrontation was squeezing his own potential to the limit, just to consolidate his foundation faster and step into the Grandmaster realm sooner.

At the same time, he also entrusted Ye Wentian to help inquire about news of attribute divine thunder—after the foundation was consolidated, he planned to absorb a more powerful attribute divine thunder and use its power to impact Tier 7.

In the blink of an eye, three days passed. Daxia did not have any city massacre incidents by the Beast Worship Cult. The public was panicked, guessing that the Beast Worship Cult was probably planning an unprecedented massacre activity! That was why they had been slow to act.

However, on this day, Xuanxin Island welcomed a group of special guests—Yan Yuehua brought Cat Girl, Yang Chuchu, and Yan Hongying to visit together.

Ye Wentian had long learned from Chen Fan that Yan Yuehua was about to join the Zhenyuan Army. He was overjoyed and hunted a top-level rare beast in advance, preparing a sumptuous banquet.

On that day, a group of senior generals of the Zhenyuan Army gathered on Xuanxin Island to hold a grand welcome ceremony for Yan Yuehua.

After the banquet, everyone moved to the reception hall to discuss Yan Yuehua's appointment in the Zhenyuan Army.

"Sister Yuehua, a Deputy Commander position just happened to be vacant in my army, how about you take it?" As the commander guarding one side, Ye Wentian had absolute right to speak within the Zhenyuan Army.

Yan Yuehua, however, was somewhat hesitant: "Marshal Ye, I have always been used to being idle, I am afraid it will be difficult to be competent for the management affairs in the army."

"Haha!" Ye Wentian waved his hand, obviously having expected it long ago, "Sister Yuehua, don't worry, letting you serve as Deputy Commander is just to facilitate your actions in the army. As for management trifles, you don't need to ask about them at all."

"Then thank you, Marshal Ye." Yan Yuehua had been prepared in her heart. Although there were no specific affairs, if the Zhenyuan Army encountered danger, she naturally would not sit idly by.

After solving the appointment problem, Ye Wentian mentioned the living arrangements again: "Sister Yuehua, I heard you were coming, so I already had people start building your residence. Now the main body is completed, only the interior decoration is not yet properly arranged, and it will be delivered by the day after tomorrow at the latest. These two days, you can either stay on Xuanxin Island temporarily or stay at Little Fan's place."

"Then I will disturb..."

Before Yan Yuehua finished speaking, Yang Chuchu and Cat Girl grabbed her arms from left and right, their tone carrying a bit of coquettishness: "Master, let's stay at Little Fan's place, staying here is too much of a disturbance to Marshal Ye."

Yan Yuehua understood the thoughts of the two girls in her heart, but felt that moving directly into Chen Fan's manor was somewhat inappropriate.

Fortunately, Ye Wentian was clear-minded and immediately laughed: "Staying at Little Fan's place is also good, that manor of his was designed by me personally, you can just experience it in advance. If there is anything you are dissatisfied with in the decoration, you can also tell me as soon as possible so that I can make adjustments to your manor."

Yan Yuehua took the opportunity to continue, her smile gentle: "Then we will stay at Little Fan's place temporarily."

Chen Fan's manor was only five or six kilometers away from Xuanxin Island. Everyone traveled together and arrived at their destination in ten minutes. This manor integrated the essence of Chinese and Western architecture, neither losing its elegant charm nor hiding its luxurious texture. In the courtyard, there were small bridges and flowing water, rockeries and greenery, the scenery was picturesque, just like a carefully carved scenic spot.

"This is too beautiful!" The four girls exclaimed in unison.

A knowing smile appeared on Chen Fan's face—when he first stepped into this manor, he was also shocked by such scenery. He didn't expect that besides having profound cultivation, Master Ye Wentian also had such attainments in garden design, which was truly admirable.

When they arrived at the entrance, Black Crow was already waiting there, his behavior appropriate, just like an experienced old butler.

Chen Fan introduced: "This manor has more than twenty rooms. Currently, besides me and Black Crow, only a few nannies have moved in. There are still many rooms left, you can live in whichever one you want."

Cat Girl's gaze shifted back and forth between Chen Fan and Yang Chuchu, a trace of resentment in her eyes, her tone carrying a bit of playfulness: "Stinky little brother, where is your room? I want to live next door to you and supervise you well, so you don't secretly do bad things at night."

Three days ago, after Yan Yuehua took Yang Chuchu back to Fire God Mountain, Cat Girl noticed Yang Chuchu's strangeness.

Relying on a woman's sixth sense, she always felt that something had happened between Yang Chuchu and Chen Fan.

Under her pestering, Yang Chuchu finally told the truth. Learning that the two had already had a husband-and-wife relationship, Cat Girl felt a mix of five flavors in her heart, both sourness and loss, as well as envy that could not be hidden. Of course, she wouldn't really blame Yang Chuchu—after all, Yang Chuchu knew Chen Fan first, she was the latecomer.

Hearing Cat Girl's words, Yang Chuchu glanced at Chen Fan quietly, her cheeks slightly flushed,

The experience from a few days ago was still vivid in her mind, and seeing Chen Fan again made her heartbeat speed up a bit.

Chen Fan was made somewhat embarrassed by Cat Girl's teasing, scratched his head and laughed: "My room is on the east side of the second floor, there happens to be a vacant room next door..."

"Then I'll live in that room next door!" Cat Girl snorted lightly and walked straight toward the second floor with a cat-like gait.

When she came to the door, she even pointed at her eyes and then at Chen Fan, the meaning couldn't be more obvious—behave yourself at night, I'll be watching you!
