Compared to the previous two times coming to Tantai Wanrong's house, when Zhao Mengya was present, this time only Tantai Wanrong was at home.

Tantai Wanrong was dressed very formally, opening the door to let Ye Fan in, and specially looked outside, saying, "You're here alone?"

Ye Fan smiled and said, "Aunt Rong, who would you like me to bring?"

Sang Yuan was beside Ye Fan, but he wouldn't tell Tantai Wanrong. As long as she couldn't see, he could pretend Sang Yuan didn't exist. After all, Sang Yuan was sensible and wouldn't come out to disturb him. Even if something happened with Tantai Wanrong, as just his maid, Sang Yuan had no right to interfere.

"Sit down first." Tantai Wanrong invited Ye Fan to sit in the living room. "I just finished a meeting with the city government. What would you like to drink?"

"No need, Aunt Rong, do you often eat or drink now?" Ye Fan said.

"Isn't it all your fault?" Tantai Wanrong sat down, annoyed, and said, "After taking that pill of yours, I used to eat three meals a day, now I can't even eat once in three days, yet I'm still perfectly healthy. I used to go for regular check-ups, now my pulse is only a dozen beats per minute. Wouldn't the doctor think I'm a monster?"

Ye Fan chuckled and said, "A beating heart is better than no heartbeat at all. Once Aunt Rong practices for a bit longer, you'll be able to control your heartbeat like I can."

"I don't want to be like you; I just want to be an ordinary person. Immortality is good, of course, but a lifetime of loneliness isn't worth it. I'd rather have a sincere loved one by my side. Even if it's just a hundred-year life, or even ten days, I'd be willing." Tantai Wanrong said with a sad tone.

Ye Fan heard the sorrow in Tantai Wanrong's voice and knew he had touched on her sadness.

Tantai Wanrong also noticed her tone was too sad and sighed, "Speaking of which, ever since practicing with you, that... that thing hasn't happened anymore. If I truly became immortal, wouldn't I turn into some genderless monster?"

"No." Ye Fan knew what Tantai Wanrong was worried about and explained, "Zhao Jun also stopped for a while, but it came back later, just the intervals were longer. Many cultivators still get married and have children."

Tantai Wanrong rolled her eyes at Ye Fan and said, "Xiao Fan, didn't you say you hadn't taken that final step with Zhao Jun? So, how do you know so much about her personal affairs?"

"Ahem." Ye Fan coughed and said, "Even if we haven't taken that step, we're still a couple. Can't couples talk about these things?"

Tantai Wanrong's face turned a bit colder, and she said, "Since we're talking about you and Zhao Jun's marriage, I should clarify why I called you here. Xiao Fan, be honest, what exactly have you done to Yaoyao?"

"Uh..." Ye Fan found it hard to explain now.

He knew he couldn't hide his affair with Qin Mengyao from Tantai Wanrong for long. With Qin Mengyao, it was indeed hard to explain to Tantai Wanrong, especially since he hadn't gotten Tantai Wanrong's permission before getting involved with Qin Mengyao.

"So, you're not going to say anything?" Tantai Wanrong said angrily, "Xiao Fan, do you realize how outrageous this is? Yaoyao is my niece. She's just started college. She's young and naive, but you should know better, shouldn't you? I heard, apart from her, there's her good friend Xiaoxiao... Ye Fan, don't you know how extremely outrageous this is?"

Ye Fan was suddenly scolded and felt a bit helpless.

It was clear that Tantai Wanrong was very angry, but why didn't she start scolding him as soon as they met and waited until she'd talked for a while?

Ye Fan wasn't the type to deny his actions, so he nodded and said, "Aunt Rong is right to scold me. I apologize to Yaoyao and Xiaoxiao. At that time... I had something urgent, which is why... I did some things with them. If Aunt Rong thinks I was wrong, I can leave them, so they can live freer lives."

"What kind of nonsense are you spouting! In your eyes, can Yaoyao and Xiaoxiao be discarded like worn-out shoes? If you want to leave them, you shouldn't have started anything in the first place. Now they've already... And now you say you want to leave, like you want to wipe your mouth clean after playing?" Tantai Wanrong was almost scolding Ye Fan until he was thoroughly humiliated.

Tantai Wanrong was so angry that her face was trembling. Ye Fan stood up, having no temper in front of Tantai Wanrong, and advised, "Aunt Rong, please calm down."

"I can't calm down." Tantai Wanrong sat down again and said with some frustration, "It's also our Tantai family's girls who are not ambitious. I've spent my life on fame and fortune, paying no attention to my personal life. My sister married a decent man, but in the end, couldn't even control her daughter, leaving Yaoyao without fatherly and motherly love since childhood. That's why Yaoyao likes you, because you changed her. She sees you as a father, a brother, and the one in her heart. Yaoyao has put all her heart into you. If you betray her, she might end her life any time. You are her everything!"

Ye Fan finally understood why Tantai Wanrong was so angry because she knew Qin Mengyao's heart was determined.

Ye Fan said, "Aunt Rong, rest assured, I will enlighten Yaoyao. Even if I marry Zhao Jun in the future, I won't let her down."

"I hope you keep your word," Tantai Wanrong said, "I might not trust others, but Zhao Jun... she's an open-minded girl. She can accept you being with Min Shang, which shows her tolerance. But tolerance is not indulgence. Now that you are cultivating immortality, you are no longer an ordinary person. Zhao Jun might tolerate you for a while but not forever. I want you to make clear to Zhao Jun about Yaoyao's issue. I want a promise from Zhao Jun!"

Ye Fan thought for a moment and asked, "What kind of promise does Aunt Rong want?"

Tantai Wanrong spoke each word clearly, "Let Zhao Jun accept Yaoyao, give Yaoyao a status!"

Ye Fan and Li Zhaojun were a couple. Ye Fan didn't dare hope Li Zhaojun would accept Lu Xiaoman, let alone Qin Mengyao. Ye Fan said, "Aunt Rong, you saying this is like making me commit bigamy."

"Is that a problem for you? I've been with you to the Pan Gu Secret Realm, where it's a primitive society. It's not just bigamy, even having multiple wives is allowed. Once you continue cultivating, are you going to let Yaoyao be an ordinary girl, watching her grow old?' Tantai Wanrong said, "I don't care. Since you like Yaoyao, take her to the secret realm, have a small wedding there, even if you take her as a concubine, and make sure Yaoyao cultivates immortality. As for Xiaoxiao... handle it yourself."

In Tantai Wanrong's heart, Qin Mengyao was very important, whereas she didn't care much about Qin Mengyao's friend, Yang Xiaoting, since there wasn't any blood relation.

Ye Fan nodded and said, "Since Aunt Rong said so, I understand. I'll take Yaoyao and Xiaoxiao to the Pan Gu Secret Realm when the time is right. Besides teaching them cultivation and granting them a five hundred-year lifespan, I'll give them a status there, and they won't be mistreated!"
