A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)
Chapter 1025 Everybody Leaves

After leaving Yu Yun's room, Ye Fan raced to the cabinet where the medicine was kept, found a bottle of something that could clear his mind and spirit and emptied half a bottle of it in a hurry.

The aphrodisiac that the old Madam Chu had concocted was meant for martial artists. There was no specific antidote that cured its effects.

Whatever Ye Fan had just taken could help to soothe his raging urges but it wasn't a cure. It could only ease the effects of the aphrodisiac.

But for someone like Ye Fan, that was enough.

He had, through sheer willpower, gotten the raging urges churning inside him under control.

"My god, finally, some relief!" Ye Fan let loose a long sigh of relief. He raced into the courtyard, filled a bucket of water from the well and splashed the freezing water over his face. He felt so much better instantly.

The waves of heat that had assailed him earlier had receded significantly.

After the brief respite, Ye Fan was struck by the sudden realization that Yu Yun was still suffering the effects of the aphrodisiac.

This wasn't the time to take a break. Ye Fan hurried back to Yu Yun's room and fed her the medicine that he had taken moments ago.

The flush brightening Yu Yun's cheeks faded away shortly.

The glazed look in her eyes faded as well and was replaced by bright, clear eyes.

"Are you alright?"

Ye Fan picked up the dress that Yu Yun had taken off and draped it over her shoulders. Then, he got her another glass of water.

There was a sudden glint of something sharp and cold.

The glacial blue gleam of a blade swept across the room.

Its ivory sharp tip rested against Ye Fan's neck.

"You shameless scoundrel, you deserve a thousand deaths!" Words dripping with cold fury rang out in the room.

They were filled with a murderous rage that longed to assume physical form so that it could kill Ye Fan a million times with its own hands.

No one could understand how Yu Yun felt at this moment.

The chastity that she had protected so carefully was gone and it was all Ye Fan's fault.

She had felt terrible when Ye Fan had seen her naked form. It had taken her a long time before she stopped feeling the urge to kill Ye Fan. And now, she had... Yu Yun had not expected something like this to happen between her and Ye Fan...

She couldn't bear to remember what had happened.

What mattered the most to a woman was her chastity and honor.

Even though Ye Fan couldn't be blamed for what had transpired tonight, he had still been the one who had dishonored her.

No one would blame her if she killed Ye Fan.

Yet, she stopped herself at the very last moment.

She didn't know why she had done so. She had killed countless men without even batting an eyelid. Yet she couldn't make herself kill Ye Fan. "Leave. I don't ever want to see you again."

Yu Yun pulled her sword back. Her red eyes glimmered faintly in the night.

She turned away so that she wouldn't have to see Ye Fan.

Ye Fan opened his mouth. After a long moment, he choked back the words that he had had on the tip of his tongue.

He left the room.

His heart stung from guilt's faint but insistent needling.

Women were always the ones who suffered when such incidents happened and word of them spread.

Ye Fan was partly responsible for what had happened.

He shouldn't have told Yu Yun to get the salt.

Everything was too late now.

What had happened, had happened.

Fortunately, Ye Fan had stopped himself in the nick of time and prevented himself from committing a grave mistake.

That had prevented the entire incident from turning into a complete tragedy.

Ye Fan returned to his room but failed to get any sleep. In the end, he decided to practice the Dragon God Body in his own room.

He was elated to discover a marked progress over the course of one day.

The power of the Yin Dragon inside him had grown exponentially.

He was overjoyed when he realized that his Dragon God Body now possessed the healing properties of the Yin Dragon Body.

The gradual growth in power had led to a transformation in the very essence of his Dragon God Body.

Over the course of their training, Ye Fan and Yu Yun had absorbed a considerable portion of the Dragon God's power that resided in the other person's body.

What had transpired tonight had been wildly inappropriate, yet it was undeniable that the kisses that they had exchanged had boosted the Dragon God's power that resided inside them and transformed the very essence of their respective Dragon God Body.

In fact, one could say that Ye Fan now possessed the Yin Dragon Body.

His old injuries were beginning to heal themselves at a rapid speed.

The night passed steadily and ended.

Ye Fan did not return to the military camp the next day. Old Madam Chu was not done with her new prescription. Ye Fan intended to wait for her new prescription before he returned to the camp.

He wasn't particularly worried about his recruits.

He had given them instructions on how to go about their training.

They simply had to follow his instructions dutifully.

They didn't really need him to be there.

They didn't need his supervision.

He hated supervising other people.

As a master, all you should do was to guide your disciples on the right path. The rest should be up to them.

Those who always needed someone to make sure that they trained and learned all the time would never become strong or powerful.

Ye Fan stayed at the old Chu family mansion for the next three days.

He never saw Yu Yun during those three days.

She had not left her room since that night.

Ye Fan wasn't going to approach her.

He kept himself busy. Since he had the Yin Dragon Body now, he could focus his energies on healing the stubborn injuries that had plagued him. The fourth day arrived.

The skies were still dark. In the distant east, a narrow band of pale light colored the edge of the horizon.

It was the sole streak of light amidst the blanket of darkness enveloping the earth.

A sudden wind stirred in the old Chu family mansion's courtyard.

Waves of incredible power surged from a room suddenly, rushing outwards and flooding the mansion in a tsunami of power.

It was a long while before the storm finally ceased.

A few minutes later, the door that had been firmly shut for the past few days finally opened.

A beautiful woman stepped out of the room.

The hems of her purple dress fluttered softly while the loose strands of her hair stirred lightly in the wind.

Her lips were red like fire and her eyes as dark as the night.

Her beauty was beyond this world and something that appeared to come from the heavens. She was like a deity who had descended upon the earth, an epitome of grace and perfection! Hanging on her neck was a jade pendant that glowed with a faint blue light.

Her features were flawless, her beauty surpassed by none on this earth.

The beauty of the natural world, that of flowers in full blossom paled in comparison to her physical perfection. In fact, they dared not show themselves for fear of embarrassment. Everything seemed a shade dimmer in comparison to her bright, luminant beauty.

With her flawless beauty and her grace, this young woman told the world and its people what elegance and poise truly

were, and what beauty truly looked like.

"Are you ready to leave now?" An old lady's kind voice drifted out from the darkness ahead of her.

Old Madam Chu had somehow appeared out of nowhere.

The young woman nodded and hummed softly in agreement.

Her voice sounded cold and had an edge of indifference and authority to it.

She walked out of the courtyard and headed for the door.

"Have something to eat before you leave. The rascal set some food aside for you and told me to warm the dishes up for you when you're out."

The old lady didn't seem to be angered by the young woman's distant and cold attitude.

She knew that this was the true personality of the head of Chu Sect.

The Yu Yun whom they had known vanished the moment when her full strength was restored to her.
