Chapter 753 The End (Part 1) - I Became the Rich Second-Generation Villain
[Ding, the host has caused damage to Ye Fan's mentality and receives 20,000 villain points. Ye Fan's protagonist halo -1000, host's villain halo +1000!] [Ding, the host has caused damage to Ye Fan's mentality and receives 20,000 villain points. Ye Fan's protagonist halo -1000, host's villain halo +1000!] Investigating from various sources, Ye Fan discovered the news of Wang Haoran and Fang Youruo's grand wedding, having already mentally prepared himself for the fact that Fang Youruo might have been with Wang Haoran. However, he never expected that not only had Fang Youruo been with him, but she was also pregnant. And judging from the faint heartbeat, it seemed to be about three to four months along. In other words, when he first arrived in Qiongzhou to secretly visit Fang Youruo, Wang Haoran was likely also in Qiongzhou, with intentions towards Fang Youruo. Ye Fan suddenly felt immense regret. Why did he wait until his name was renowned across the world before officially seeing Fang Youruo? If he had gone to meet Fang Youruo as soon as he left Cangzhou for Qiongzhou, Ye Fan was confident, given how well he knew her, that he could have won her over. But now, it was too late to say anything. Yet, Ye Fan still wanted to take Fang Youruo away. Fang Youruo was his deepest obsession, and he wanted to make up for the missed connection with her from his past life during his thousand-year yearning. With time pressing, Ye Fan made a swift decision, intending to forcibly take Fang Youruo away. But as he approached her, Fang Youruo suddenly turned and placed her palm on his chest. Ye Fan staggered back a few steps, utterly surprised. Fang Youruo’s cultivation wasn’t strong enough to harm him with that strike. What shocked Ye Fan was that it was the spiritual energy of the Nine Heavens Ethereal Technique. Logically, Fang Youruo shouldn’t have encountered her master yet. Where did Fang Youruo get the Nine Heavens Ethereal Technique from? Could she have been reborn too? Ye Fan speculated. However, as soon as this thought arose, Ye Fan dismissed it. If Fang Youruo had memories of a past life, she wouldn't have attacked him, much less married Wang Haoran. "Hubby, save me," Fang Youruo cried out in fear, seeing that she hadn’t managed to harm her feared enemy. Before the words even settled, Wang Haoran’s figure materialized beside her. He had directed Jiang clan’s leader to pose as Fang Youruo to draw Ye Fan out. But knowing Ye Fan as well as he did, Wang Haoran realized Ye Fan was not easily trapped. Thus, Wang Haoran hid within the Heaven-Opening Tower, staying right beside the real Fang Youruo. The dust-like form of the Heaven-Opening Tower was undetectable even to Ye Fan. Though Ye Fan’s perception was keen, he only sensed Fang Youruo was there. Unbeknownst to him, Wang Haoran had been there all along. "Don’t be afraid, hubby’s here," Wang Haoran comforted as he shielded Fang Youruo. Only then did she breathe a sigh of relief, glaring hatefully at Ye Fan. Ye Fan could tell from her expression that Wang Haoran had deceived her with lies, making her believe Ye Fan was her enemy. "Xuan Tian Xianzun, it’s been a while," Wang Haoran greeted. "Ji Tian! As I suspected, you didn’t get annihilated completely!" Hearing Wang Haoran's voice, Ye Fan's suspicions were fully confirmed. "Are you very disappointed?" Wang Haoran chuckled. This question was an indirect admission that he was indeed Ji Tian Mo Di. "Our grievances should be settled," Wang Haoran continued. "You may have a higher cultivation realm, but do you think you’d pay no price for turning me to dust?" Ye Fan retorted with a sneer. "Did I say I was going to fight you one-on-one?" Wang Haoran couldn’t help but laugh. Ye Fan was slightly taken aback. In the next moment, he sensed a powerful spiritual energy approaching them. A stunning figure in red wedding attire appeared at the door. "Integration Stage?!" Ye Fan’s pupils constricted as he sensed the spiritual energy emanating from this extraordinary woman. Moreover, the spiritual energy had a potent fire element. The skill this woman cultivated was clearly extraordinary. Her real combat ability probably far exceeded that of an average Integration Stage cultivator. "In the past lives, the five of you ganged up on me. Today it’s payback, and it’s fair," Wang Haoran said. "Wonderful, it’s an honor to die under the schemes of Ji Tian Mo Di!" Ye Fan suddenly burst into laughter. His words and expression seemed like he was about to give up resisting. However, Wang Haoran, having copied Ye Fan’s memories, knew him too well. Before Ye Fan had even finished speaking, Wang Haoran knew his intentions. Ye Fan’s power suddenly surged, reaching the Deity Transformation Stage. He intended to kill Wang Haoran with swift and thunderous means. However, just as Ye Fan was about to strike, Wang Haoran and Fang Youruo vanished into thin air. Ye Fan’s massive attack, fueled by burning Xianzun spiritual energy, lost its target. Ye Fan was left in shock. Before he could dwell on it, Gu Hongyi’s wrath descended upon him. The Deity Transformation Stage and the Integration Stage were a whole realm apart. If Gu Hongyi’s cultivation was merely ordinary, Ye Fan might have had a fighting chance. But unfortunately, Gu Hongyi’s cultivation was extremely powerful, especially the terrifying fire element in her spiritual energy. Ye Fan didn’t even wait for the spiritual energy from burning Xianzun to exhaust before being incinerated to dust by the elemental fire power. From within the Heaven-Opening Tower, sensing Ye Fan’s presence completely disappeared, Wang Haoran and Fang Youruo emerged. The house had vanished into nothingness. Everything within a twenty-meter radius was swept away, leaving only ashes in sight. It was evident that a fierce battle had just taken place here. This was due to Gu Hongyi putting a barrier around the area to prevent the spiritual energy from spreading; otherwise, a hundred-mile radius might have turned to ruins. "Are you hurt, my dear?" Wang Haoran asked with concern. "Husband, I’m not hurt, just my clothes are torn," Gu Hongyi replied, showing the tears in her flowing sleeves with some complaint. "I should have known not to fight in wedding attire." Wang Haoran and Fang Youruo smiled at each other. With the Ye Fan issue resolved, the wedding continued as planned.

Shao Wanzun continually helped Gu Yurou, resolving all her troubles. The antagonists in Gu Yurou's storyline had all been dealt with, concluding her story. Gu Yurou lost her protagonist status and her halo. Wang Haoran appointed Gu Yurou as a maid, and she accepted joyfully without the slightest complaint. For Gu Yurou, being able to stay by Wang Haoran's side was happiness enough, without yearning for anything more. (This chapter ends)
