After Ye Fan left, Tantai Wanrong was still somewhat angry. She felt that Ye Fan was becoming increasingly domineering in his actions, not consulting anyone, and even his attitude towards her was not as gentle as it used to be. When he saw her, his words carried an air of arrogance and disdain, making her feel uncomfortable. She even wanted to question Ye Fan about why he had changed so much towards her.

However, Tantai Wanrong actually knew that Ye Fan was no longer the Ye Fan of the past. Now, Ye Fan was an Immortal, having reached a terrifying level of cultivation. Ye Fan had now completely taken control of the ordinary realm of the cultivation world. Although ordinary humans were unaware of Ye Fan’s existence, the human world had already come under Ye Fan’s protection. Even Tantai Wanrong had become just a small citizen under Ye Fan’s rule.

Other powerful beings like the many immortals had also become Ye Fan’s servants, driven and controlled by him. Ye Fan just did not want to appear domineering and rude in front of women he once loved. Otherwise, he could use forceful means without any need for negotiation with Tantai Wanrong.

Ye Fan left the White Cloud District and went directly to find Zhao Tianya. Ye Fan knew that trying to negotiate with Zhao Tianya was pointless now, so he simply intended to use coercive measures to force Zhao Tianya to surrender and come back with him.

"Ye Fan, what are you doing here?" When Ye Fan arrived at Zhao Tianya’s house, she had just finished bathing, and while still relaxing, she felt a powerful force suddenly appear from the sky right before her eyes, giving her no time to react.

At this point, Zhao Tianya was only wearing a bathrobe, with her hair still wet. Even though Zhao Tianya was at the Golden Core Stage, she preferred to live as an ordinary human woman.

"Come with me!" Ye Fan said in a very forceful tone, "Back to the secret realm..."

"Why should I when I’ve just returned? Didn’t you say I could stay on Earth? This is my own will and choice, and you shouldn’t force me, nor impose your will on me. I also kindly ask you to leave; this is my home, and you cannot enter without my permission, especially when it’s inconvenient for me to see you now!" Zhao Tianya tried to maintain her aloofness as she spoke, but she found it extremely difficult to appear cold in front of Ye Fan.

After all, in her heart, the person she cared most about was Ye Fan.

Ye Fan said, "Don’t show the same attitude as Aunt Rong; I’m not buying it. If I reasoned with you, I might have to waste decades, now come!"

With that, Ye Fan domineeringly lifted Zhao Tianya onto his shoulder. Even if Zhao Tianya struggled, her cultivation was still no match for Ye Fan’s. Moreover, she was reluctant to use her cultivation to attack Ye Fan, fearing she might hurt him. Both she and Tantai Wanrong often spoke contrary to their true feelings. Even though they truly cared about Ye Fan, when Ye Fan appeared, they would still try to show rudeness and defiance, which was actually a sign of their inner vulnerability.

"What are you doing? Put me down! I don’t want to reason with you. You are infringing on my rights now. Even if you’re a cultivator, you can’t violate legal and moral standards. Did you hear me?!" Zhao Tianya was very angry, struggling fiercely on Ye Fan’s shoulder like a little girl.

Ye Fan said, "You’re wearing very little, just barely enough to cover yourself. If you struggle and expose yourself, don’t blame me!"

At these words, Zhao Tianya became nervous. Upon closer inspection, she realized it was true; she was only wearing a bathrobe with nothing underneath. After all, she hadn’t expected someone to intrude like this in her own home. Normally, being at the Golden Core Stage, she wouldn’t need to bathe as dust couldn’t touch her body. But she still wanted to maintain human habits, which led to Ye Fan catching her off guard.

"Can you not be so overbearing? Your behavior is so rude. We’re not married, and even if we were, you should respect my choices. I don’t listen to you now... let me down!" Zhao Tianya almost shouted at Ye Fan.

Ye Fan ignored her and intended to take Zhao Tianya to find Tantai Wanrong. For him, it was easy and straightforwardly malicious.

With just a flash, he appeared in Tantai Wanrong’s house. Tantai Wanrong, who had just felt a bit lost due to Ye Fan’s temporary departure, sensed a powerful presence reappearing. Seeing Ye Fan carrying the bathrobe-clad Zhao Tianya, she found the scene both astonishing and somewhat difficult to face.

"Ye Fan, what are you doing?" Tantai Wanrong scrutinized Ye Fan, feeling like scolding him because the scene was really too unseemly.

Only then did Ye Fan put Zhao Tianya down. As soon as Zhao Tianya touched the ground, her bathrobe, having lost its support, fell open, revealing everything. Zhao Tianya felt a sense of humiliation and anger. She glared at Ye Fan, and if she could stand a chance against him, she might have fought him on the spot.

Ye Fan said, "Tian Ya is being rebellious. I have no need to reason with her. Now, I want to take you both back to the secret realm. Whatever you have to say, you can say it together. Even if it’s uncomfortable, just let it go. Now, even if it takes forceful methods, I absolutely will not let you leave me!"

At this moment, Ye Fan seemed even more domineering. Tantai Wanrong and Zhao Tianya were somewhat angry, but they had ways to handle a gentle Ye Fan and none for a domineering Ye Fan.

In fact, they secretly felt they should submit to such a Ye Fan, obeying his every command as if only by doing so could they find more peace within and more willingly accept such a Ye Fan.

"Ye Fan, you... you can’t act recklessly..." Tantai Wanrong spoke in a voice already somewhat pale and weak. She felt she didn’t even have the confidence to argue with Ye Fan.

Ye Fan’s face carried an arrogant look. In front of his women, he displayed his most aggressive side. Ye Fan seemed to realize that the more agreeable he was, the more Tantai Wanrong and Zhao Tianya would resist him. Yet, once he used his authoritative tone to suppress them as their man, even though they appeared angry on the surface, it was evident they internally accepted Ye Fan more and would submit to such a Ye Fan.

Ye Fan said, "Aunt Rong, Tian Ya, even if you don’t officially count as my women now, Tian Ya already has a relationship with me, and Aunt Rong, you will in the future too. Now, I won’t reason with you, just come with me!"
