Ye Fan's mouth twitched, and he tossed the thing in his hand away.
Then Ye Fan took out the tent and crawled inside.
"Eh?" The little demon girl asked in confusion, "Ye Fan, aren't you going to eat?"
"I'm not hungry, you eat it yourself," Ye Fan's voice came from the tent.
"Gurgle..."
But the subsequent stomach rumbling made Ye Fan's words unconvincing...
The little demon girl quickly ran into the tent and held Ye Fan's hand, saying, "Ye Fan, you'll starve if you don't eat."
Ye Fan sat up, looked at the little demon girl, and said earnestly, "Okay, actually, I'm cultivating!"
"Cultivating?" The little demon girl was clearly stunned, "Is starving also cultivating?"
"Yes!" Ye Fan nodded, "This is my unique cultivation method, do you understand now?!"
"Okay, I understand!" The little demon girl nodded heavily.
Ye Fan started cultivating, which was good news for her!
[Don't listen to this lazy bum babbling, he's lying to you!]
"Senior?" The little demon girl was confused again.
Who should she listen to?
"Don't mind it," Ye Fan replied, "This is my unique cultivation method that I've researched! From now on, if I don't eat or drink, I'll break through in at most seven days!"
[Lazy bum, are you sick?]
[You'll die if you starve for seven days!]
[What will I do if you die?]
The little demon girl didn't react to the system's words, indicating that the system hadn't let her hear them.
"And I can't drink water these few days, otherwise all my previous efforts will be in vain," Ye Fan continued to tell the little demon girl.
[Lazy bum... no, host, I was wrong!]
[Let's not mess around, you'll die too if I die!]
[I'll never dare again, just go and eat, I beg you...]
...
Ye Fan ignored the system's pleas and closed his eyes to sleep.
Even though the hunger was making him very uncomfortable, Ye Fan's resolve was very firm!
When Ye Fan woke up again, it was already evening.
It was fine when he was asleep before.
Not long after waking up, the hunger doubled and attacked him...
Ye Fan was also straightforward, continuing to endure the hunger and engage in a silent battle with the system.
Until two days later...
Ye Fan's eyes rolled back, and he fainted from hunger...
The little demon girl finally realized she had been tricked by Ye Fan and quickly fed him.
During this time, the system remained quiet, as if afraid of angering Ye Fan further.
In the end, Ye Fan had to resume normal eating.
It wasn't that he had compromised with the system.
The main reason was the little demon girl's nagging, which gave him a huge headache.
As the saying goes, one woman is equivalent to five hundred ducks.
A little demon girl with considerable cultivation could easily be equivalent to tens of thousands of ducks...
Ye Fan could tolerate the system's nagging.
But these tens of thousands of ducks were too much for him to handle...
And the little demon girl not only used her mouth but also her hands.
Seeing that Ye Fan refused to eat, she directly started to unbutton his clothes.
At the same time, she muttered things like, "You're going to die anyway, so there's no point in wasting,"...
Who could stand this...
However, it was Ye Fan's turn to cause trouble next.
He was very unhappy about being tricked by the system before.
One day.
After eating, Ye Fan took his flying bed to a mountaintop.
He got off the flying bed, walked a few steps to the cliff edge, and jumped off.
Ye Fan knew that doing this wouldn't cause any substantial power consumption damage to the system.
He just wanted to disgust it in return.
Unfortunately, he failed again.
"Ye Fan, what are you doing?" The little demon girl pulled him back, "You'll die if you fall like this!"
"You've misunderstood, actually, this is a cultivation method I've researched," Ye Fan replied unhurriedly.
The little demon girl said nothing, just stared at him.
This trick again?
I'd be a fool to believe you!
Do you really take me for an idiot?
"Ye Fan, why are you seeking death?" The little demon girl said aggrievedly, "If you die, won't I become a widow? What about the child in my belly? How can you bear to abandon us like this?"
Ye Fan: ???
Do you have a misunderstanding of the word "widow"?
And what's with the child in your belly?
Who did you learn to lie with your eyes open from?
...
"It's nothing, I just felt a bit suffocated and wanted some fresh air," Ye Fan lied.
"Is that so..." The little demon girl nodded as if enlightened.
"But the scenery on the mountaintop is quite nice," the little demon girl noticed many beautiful flowers on the peak and said happily, "Ye Fan, let's pick some..."
While the little demon girl was distracted, Ye Fan took the opportunity to jump down.
"Ye Fan!" The little demon girl exclaimed and was about to chase after him.
As soon as she lifted her foot, she stopped again.
Forget it.
No matter why Ye Fan was suddenly acting crazy, let him fall for a while.
After all, with her speed, she could save him at any time.
[Little one, why aren't you stopping him quickly?!]
"Senior, no hurry," the little demon girl picked a flower and admired it, "It's so high, it will take him a while to fall."
This was the first time the little demon girl had not listened to the system.
Although she really wanted revenge.
However, after spending time with Ye Fan during this period, she found that she had truly fallen in love with Ye Fan.
If she were forced to make a choice, she would now choose to stand on Ye Fan's side.
This feeling of liking someone had made her desire for revenge fade.
She even thought that it would be nice to stay by Ye Fan's side like this in the future.
As for where they would go, it didn't matter anymore.
"Perhaps..." the little demon girl muttered to herself, "this is what people call falling in love over time..."
Unfortunately, the system was unaware of her thoughts and was currently roaring in rage.
[What if he gets hurt on the way down?]
[Damn it!]
[She's really grown up and gone astray!]
...
Listening to the whistling wind by his ears, Ye Fan narrowed his eyes comfortably.
Putting everything else aside, this feeling was quite pleasant.
He could consider adding it to his daily entertainment activities in the future.
Just as he was pondering, a golden light shield enveloped him.
Ye Fan was not surprised by this.
It was completely within his expectations.
On the mountaintop.
The little demon girl felt that enough time had passed and flew towards Ye Fan.
Upon seeing the light shield on Ye Fan, she immediately understood.
As expected...
Although that senior's words were harsh, he still cared about Ye Fan.
In this situation, the little demon girl naturally didn't need to intervene and simply snuggled into Ye Fan's arms.
"This feels quite nice," the little demon girl wrapped her arms around Ye Fan's neck, "Ye Fan, what do you say we do this sometimes when we have nothing else to do?"
"I think it's a good idea," Ye Fan agreed with the little demon girl for once.
[...]
[Dog! Man! Woman!]
...
Three months passed in the blink of an eye.
As there was no specific direction, Ye Fan could only wander around with the little demon girl, Xia Ji Ba.
They encountered some cultivators along the way, but upon inquiring, they all stated they didn't know where Ge City was.
This made Ye Fan very depressed.
When people are depressed, they can't help but do something to vent.
So Ye Fan fulfilled his promise to the little demon girl and found a cliff to jump off.
Just as he had been doing every day for the past three months...
The system seemed to have accepted this situation...
Initially, the system had prepared to intervene.
For example, by changing the terrain when Ye Fan jumped off the cliff to prevent him from doing so.
But later, the system calculated that changing the terrain consumed more energy than activating the protective shield.
Although this level of consumption was negligible for the upgraded system, it still adhered to the principle of frugality.
After all, Ye Fan often courted disaster, so it had to prepare enough energy for various emergencies.
Every bit saved was a bit earned...
