Hearing Tantai Wanrong's voice, it sounded as if she was in danger, already wounded and at death's door, which made Ye Fan extremely anxious. Before he could ask anything more, Tantai Wanrong had already hung up the phone.

"Aunt Rong, hello..." Ye Fan wanted to inquire further, but the sound of beeping was all that came from the other end.

This surprised Ye Fan. He had set up many spiritual energy defenses around Tantai Wanrong's residence, like traps, which would easily alert him if triggered. But there was absolutely no sign, indicating that the attacker was possibly very powerful, able to bypass his traps.

Ye Fan parked the car by the roadside and said to Sang Yuan, "Remember the location of Baiyun Community? Just take me there directly!"

Sang Yuan, though puzzled, nodded and said, "Yes, young master."

With Sang Yuan present, she could remember any place she had been to, allowing for direct teleportation.

Once Tantai Wanrong opened the rift and they entered it, they were already inside Tantai Wanrong's living room. Seeing that Tantai Wanrong was not in the living room, Ye Fan quickly sensed that she was in the bathroom. He rushed in, only to find Tantai Wanrong disheveled, sitting by the bathtub, showering herself with cold water.

"Aunt Rong? What's wrong with you?" Ye Fan saw the phone lying on the side, soaked in water and dead, explaining why the call had suddenly disconnected.

"Xiao Fan... you, you must kill me quickly... I can't take it anymore!" Tantai Wanrong, facing the questioning Ye Fan, stood up and threw herself into his arms. Ye Fan immediately sensed a chaotic spiritual energy.

Ye Fan felt amused and helpless at the same time. In that moment, he understood that nothing major had happened to Tantai Wanrong. She was meditating but had gone astray, similar to previous cultivation results, where a suppressed emotion in her body was stirred by spiritual energy, now leading to confusion.

"Aunt Rong, don't say such silly things. How can I kill you because of meditation going awry?" Ye Fan intended to support Tantai Wanrong, but she was almost forcibly toppling him over.

Unfortunately, her strength was always very weak. In front of someone like Ye Fan at the Mahayana Realm, she had no ability to force him. Ye Fan did not knock her out in the simplest way. Instead, he restrained her qi flow, infusing Pure Yang spiritual energy into her body to suppress her chaotic aura, then carried her out of the bathroom.

Sang Yuan, who had originally been in the living room, hid the moment she saw Ye Fan opening the door. She did not want Tantai Wanrong to find out that she had intruded into someone else's house.

"Aunt Rong, try to stay calm, I'll help you meditate!" Ye Fan wasn't sure why Tantai Wanrong would cultivate spiritual energy when he had already told her to stop, fearing an accident.

At this moment, Tantai Wanrong was fully disoriented, her eyes filled with deep affection, clinging to Ye Fan, kissing his nose and lips while saying, "Xiao Fan, I love you, I love you..."

She kept repeating her love for Ye Fan, caught in a moment of lost self. Ye Fan wasn't sure how much truth versus how much was spoken in a daze. A warmth for Tantai Wanrong filled his heart, but possession was off-limits; it was a matter of principle.

Just like when Tantai Wanrong, while relatively clear-minded, did not confess her love to Ye Fan but asked him to kill her, indicating that she bore a significant emotional burden regarding this relationship.

Ye Fan ignored Tantai Wanrong's confession. His task was to help calm her down. As he began the process, a powerful aura flooded into Tantai Wanrong's meridians. The two seemed truly united as one. Ye Fan guided her inherent spiritual energy with his own, while her energy felt no rejection towards Ye Fan's.

After one cycle, Tantai Wanrong's energy was no longer as chaotic. She calmed down and sat cross-legged, eyes closed for meditation, granting Ye Fan full control.

Ye Fan utilized spiritual energy over several cycles. Tantai Wanrong's Foundation Establishment time was relatively long, and it became increasingly refined. Only after a few cycles did the embryonic form of the Golden Core emerge, which then successfully formed. Her Golden Core required a lot of spiritual energy to fill, so Ye Fan used his Pure Yang energy to supplement her inherent energy.

After the Golden Core had its fill, it finally quieted down, and Tantai Wanrong was like a deflated balloon, resting limply in Ye Fan's embrace.

"Xiao Fan..." Tantai Wanrong's voice was still soft but lacked its previous allure. It was no longer a plea but a gentle cry filled with deep emotion.

Ye Fan said with a hint of irritation, "Didn't I tell you? Without me by your side, you're not allowed to meditate by yourself. Luckily, you managed to call me in time; if I didn't know you were in trouble, you could have died from energy deviation, you know?"

"I was wrong," Tantai Wanrong said softly with tears, "But seeing you about to marry Zhao Jun and even Yaoyao finding her own happiness... I just wanted to achieve something sooner, even if just not to make you worry about me anymore. Living on my own would be fine too."

Ye Fan replied coldly, "You're so foolish."

"Woo, Xiao Fan... Just consider me a fool. Like Yaoyao, I am deeply attached to you. But I decided to let you go to her because I'm not qualified to compete. Yaoyao is all alone, so you must treat her well, okay?" Tantai Wanrong spoke as if leaving final words, something Ye Fan least wanted to hear.

Ye Fan frowned, "What are you saying? Who I belong to isn't something you can decide, nor is it for you to decide!"

Tantai Wanrong was awed by Ye Fan's authoritative manner, momentarily forgetting to cry.

Ye Fan continued, "I've helped you reach the Golden Core Stage; even Yaoyao and Xiaoxiao have reached the Golden Core Stage. This is what I can do for you all for now. You're not allowed to speak. To help you all, I've drained significant spiritual energy. I need to meditate for an hour now, and you're to stand quietly and watch, do you understand?"

"Hmm," Tantai Wanrong responded like a well-behaved girl, standing by just watching.

Ye Fan sat cross-legged. Now he needed to meditate himself. Although he was at the Mahayana Realm, forcibly assisting others in advancing led to severe self-depletion, especially since he aided three women unfamiliar with cultivation, pushing them to the Golden Core Stage. If he didn't promptly meditate, he'd be the next to succumb to energy deviation.

As he sat to meditate, all the spiritual energy on Earth seemed to converge into a vacuum, for a person at the Mahayana Realm required an astonishing amount of spiritual energy, far beyond what Earth could provide. Fortunately, an item from his storage bracelet flew out on its own.
