A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)
Chapter 1782

A short while later, they arrived at He Yurou's place. They did a simple cleanup of the room, and Ye Fan retired for the night, saying that he was tired from the journey.

"Of course, Mr. Chu. You guys rest up. I have classes in the afternoon, so I have to go back to school now. Call me if you need anything," He Yurou told them before she bade them goodbye. Once He Yurou was gone, Tang Yun and Ye Fan quickly went back into their rooms to heal up.

Ye Fan might seem calm around He Yurou, but he was actually really worried. After all, Tsukuyomi and Gaius' situations were unknown, and the people from Chu Sect could find them at any moment. He had to heal up as soon as possible.

Once he recovered enough, he and Tang Yun would break through the heavily guarded border and return to China, where they would rendezvous with Junie.

Junie was a great doctor. If Ye Fan could stay with her for just a while, he figured he could heal up immediately.

If Ye Fan could get back on his feet, he could face a lot of enemies without fear. With Tang Yun and Tsukuyomi beside him, not even Chu Yuan himself could defeat him that easily.

But as he was in too much of a hurry, not long after He Yurou was gone, Ye Fan felt the energy within him running amok, and he eventually coughed up blood.

Tang Yun heard the commotion, and she quickly came over. "Are you all right, Ye Fan?"

Ye Fan smiled, but his face was as pale as a ghost. "I'm fine. Just in a bit of a hurry."

Tang Yun was worried about him. She was involved in the battle, so she knew his condition very well. He had overworked his body way back at the mountain, and he had been on the run ever since. Frankly, his lasting until this point was already a miracle.

"Why don't we do Joint Cultivation, Ye Fan?" Tang Yun quickly suggested. She was simply too worried about him.

Ye Fan looked at her with a heated gaze after she made that suggestion, turning her face red with embarrassment. She pinched his leg. "Don't you get any dirty ideas. It's not the time for that!"

Still embarrassed, she explained, "I was talking about the Yin Yang Dragon God Body. We can use that to heal. Its regenerative abilities are decent, and we'll be able to heal up much faster that way."

"I was just teasing you." Ye Fan knew what she was getting at. He only gave her that look to mess with her. Ye Fan could always find humor in even the darkest places, and that was one of his most admirable traits.

Tang Yun got onto his bed. They then sat cross-legged and put their palms together as they activated the Dragon God Body at the same time.

The power of yin and yang coursed through their bodies, merging together and slowly healing their injuries. They didn't want to cause any misunderstanding, however, so they stopped using the Yin Yang Dragon God Body after He Yurou came back, and Tang Yun went back to her room.

"Time for dinner, Mr. Chu, Ms. Yu Yun!"

He Yurou was an understanding host. Seeing how Ye Fan and Tang Yun were tired from the journey, she didn't disturb them after she came back. She made dinner first before calling them out.

Ye Fan and Tang Yun didn't refuse her. They had a light dinner before they went back to their room to heal themselves up.

He Yurou spent the night in the living room alone, watching some TV. She wanted to knock on Ye Fan's door a few times throughout the night, but she held that urge back.

In the end, she didn't manage to give him the movie tickets. Mr. Chu is busy. He has a lot to handle every day. He won't have time for the movies.

With that thought in mind, He Yurou turned the TV off and trudged back to her bedroom to retire for the night.

Late at night, Ye Fan sneaked into Tang Yun's room and kept using the Yin Yang Dragon God to heal themselves up. When dawn came, he went back to his own room before He Yurou woke up. After He Yurou went to school, Ye Fan and Tang Yun heaved a long sigh of relief.

"D*mn, it feels like we're having an affair." Ye Fan shook his head. It was then he understood why living in someone else's house was so inconvenient.

"Can you just shut up?" Tang Yun shot him a nasty glare. She blushed, and she felt like kicking him off her bed. He really knows how to make things sound dirty. An affair? With his wife back at home not knowing what he's doing now, it does seem like we're having an affair.

Their healing session went on for another day, and after a day and night of healing, Tang Yun had gained back half of her strength.

However, Ye Fan was too heavily injured. Even with the Joint Cultivation, he could only heal a few of his broken meridians. It was impossible for Ye Fan to make a full recovery in such a short time.

But the Dragon God Body did have a decent healing ability. At the very least, Ye Fan had regained his mobility and stamina. Regardless, as his elixir field was damaged, Ye Fan couldn't use his elemental force to attack.

It was enough for him to leave Norwal City, however. After they ended the healing session for the day, he told Tang Yun, "It's almost time, Yun. We will leave tonight. I have to return to China as soon as possible.

I need to know what happened to Tsukuyomi and everyone else before I can move on with my plans."

Ye Fan knew hiding in the last place the Chu Sect would search was a decent plan, but it wouldn't hold out long. Sooner or later, they would be found, and He Yurou would be dragged into this matter as well. Ye Fan did not want that to happen.

When Ye Fan suggested that it was time to leave, the little color Tang Yun had regained was drained. "Do I have to go with you, Ye Fan?"

"Why, Yun? Are you regretting this?" Ye Fan's heart sank, and the atmosphere turned a little bit somber.

Tang Yun shook her head. "No, Ye Fan. Meeting you is the best thing that has ever happened to me. Before I met you, the sect is all I cared about. It was my world. But after I met you, I realize that there is a lo more to this world.

"I want to go with you. I want to be with you for the rest of my life, really. But after I thought it through, I realize that if I did that, it'll be really selfish of me. If you take me away with you, my master would never let you go. The sect would never let you go.

"And if you take me with you, it'll land you in an awkward position too. It'll be hard to explain my existence to your wife, won't it?"

Everyone would have moments where their impulse took over, just like Tang Yun back at that night. She wondered why she even said yes to Ye Fan. I don't remember being that brave in my life before. Back then, she thought she could ignore everything if she could be with Ye Fan. She thought she could be fearless if she could just be with her family.

She thought she wouldn't have to care about how the world would look at them, or the lives that they would have to leave behind. But after she calmed down, she thought about all the obstacles before them, and she realized that she could see no future with Ye Fan.

What happened that night was just a fairytale. Reality would never be so kind as to grant everyone's wish.

Eventually, Tang Yun started to cry. She had lost her bravery and courage, and Ye Fan had mixed feelings about it. Something in his heart broke, and it tasted bitter.

He held her in his embrace and wiped her tears off. "Don't think too much about it, Yun. Nobody can be sure about the future." He forced a smile. "A lifetime is too long a time to consider. We should treasure every moment we have while we can. I'll explain everything to Mucheng, so don't worry. I won't let her down, but I don't want to let you down either."
