Fang Zaitian's face was twisted with a sinister smile; killing Chen Changsheng was for revenge, while he originally wanted to draw Ye Tianfan to his side. Even if he couldn't win him over, he tried to avoid conflict, because in Jiangzhou, the only person Fang Zaitian feared was Ye Tianfan.

Yet, things didn't develop as Fang Zaitian anticipated. Ye Tianfan was too close with the Qin Family and the Long Family, his ambition to conquer Jiangzhou becoming evident, and conflict with Ye Tianfan was inevitable.

Now that things had come to this point, Fang Zaitian had no choice but to take action. Since he couldn't win him over, he had to eliminate him! And when he strikes, it must be ruthless. If he didn't have such means, Fang Zaitian would prefer to continue tolerating it than to cause such a big problem for himself.

Therefore, this time Fang Zaitian was fully prepared; no matter what, he must put Ye Tianfan to death to pave the way for his ambition to gain ground inland!

"His target is me! You must go!" Ye Tianfan still sat cross-legged on the ground. The Seven Fiends General's Acupoint Sealing Technique was indeed formidable. Twenty minutes had passed; even though Ye Tianfan exerted all his effort, there was still no sign of the sealed acupoints being breached.

"No! I won't go!" Qin Ruomeng's expression was resolute; she darted in front of Ye Tianfan, gave Fang Zaitian a cold look, and said in a deep voice, "Fang Zaitian, if you want to kill my man, you'll have to walk over my corpse!"

At this moment, Qin Ruomeng's momentum was like a rainbow, standing firm without any retreat.

"Qin Ruomeng, put away your spoiled heiress stubbornness. Do you think I wouldn't dare to kill you?" Fang Zaitian sneered as he spoke, "The target this time was originally Ye Tianfan, but you turned out to be a bonus! Since you're seeking death, I'll grant your wish!"

As soon as his voice fell, Fang Zaitian gestured to the Seven Fiends General, signaling them to take down Qin Ruomeng.

But at this moment, the Seven Fiends General didn't move at all; the seven of them showed no expression, simply focused on Ye Tianfan sitting cross-legged on the ground.

"What are you standing there for? Do it!"

Seeing the Seven Fiends General unmoved, Fang Zaitian immediately became furious and scolded them.

"Fang Zaitian, who do you think you are? Since when do you get to command us Seven Fiends General?" The leading one among the Seven Fiends General cast a cold glance at Fang Zaitian and spoke, "In exchange with the Celestial Spirit and Dipper Array, we've killed Chen Changsheng for you; the deal is done. The rest is our Yama Hall's business, nothing to do with you!"

"You... you..." Fang Zaitian's face suddenly showed anger, but before he could say more, a cold killing aura enveloped him.

"You'd better shut up! Otherwise, I guarantee you'll be the first to die!" Another among the Seven Fiends General spoke.

Fang Zaitian's face changed abruptly, and he obediently shut his mouth, knowing that working with Yama Hall was like bargaining with a tiger! They were always sly and treacherous, breaking promises! Now that the Seven Fiends General had mastered the Celestial Spirit North Dipper Array, Fang Zaitian had no value left; for those who have no value, Yama Hall won't be polite!

So Fang Zaitian had no doubt that the Seven Fiends General would suddenly strike against him, leaving him to quietly watch the situation unfold.

At this moment, the Seven Fiends General emanated a slow surge of killing intent, all converging toward Ye Tianfan sitting cross-legged.

As for Qin Ruomeng standing before him, whether she was the distinguished daughter of the Qin Family or a commoner's daughter, in the Seven Fiends General's eyes, she was just an ordinary woman, easily killable with a flick of a finger.

The reason for not killing her was that the Seven Fiends General had no interest in being commanded, nor did they want to be used by Fang Zaitian. Killing Chen Changsheng was business, killing Ye Tianfan for the enmity between the Ye Family and Yama Hall, but killing Qin Ruomeng?

What's the reason? Just because Fang Zaitian said so? Ridiculous, the Seven Fiends General only served Ghost Yama. What did Fang Zaitian think he was, daring to order the Seven Fiends General?

"The rest is business between our Yama Hall and the Ye Family. If you don't want to die, leave quickly!"

The leading member of the Seven Fiends General cast a disdainful glance at Qin Ruomeng, his tone laced with contempt, as if her life was of no importance, even lacking any value to be spared.

Qin Ruomeng's brows furrowed closely, ignoring Ye Tianfan's pleas from behind, resolutely blocking in front of him, sweeping her cold eyes across the Seven Fiends General, unyielding and fearless, responded coldly, "Since it's the Ye Family's business, it's my business!"

And then Qin Ruomeng suddenly stepped forward, declaring, "I, Qin Ruomeng, am a woman of the Ye Family!"

This statement from Qin Ruomeng was assertive and fearless of the life-and-death threats posed by the Seven Fiends General. At the brink of life and death, she chose to stand in front of Ye Tianfan.

Qin Ruomeng's actions made Ye Tianfan's heart tremble immediately. There's an old saying that when disaster strikes, even those once united fly apart. The current situation is obviously worse, and Ye Tianfan and Qin Ruomeng aren't even married. Though there's an engagement, there's no actual marital bond, and besides, humans value their lives! Had Qin Ruomeng left at this moment, Ye Tianfan could have said nothing.

But Qin Ruomeng wouldn't leave!

Not only did she not leave, but she also stood protectively in front of him.

"Ruo Meng, you..."

Qin Ruomeng's beautiful eyes were tender as she turned to glance at Ye Tianfan, her face adorned with a myriad of charming smiles, and she spoke, "You said, men of the Ye Family are outstanding among men! How could women of the Ye Family fear death?"

"Heh..." Ye Tianfan chuckled faintly, slowly stood up, glanced at Qin Ruomeng, his eyes filled with tenderness, and whispered, "If today we truly can't leave, are you sure you want to die with me?"

Qin Ruomeng's captivating eyes turned towards Ye Tianfan, questioning, "When have I hesitated?"

Qin Ruomeng's words left Ye Tianfan unable to refute; from the beginning, her attitude had been firm—to share life and death, advance and retreat together! The women of the Ye Family never withdraw.

Unable to live with her husband.

But capable of dying with her husband.

"So be it!" Ye Tianfan's lips curled into a smile, as if seeing through something, his palm slowly fished out a jade pendant, then grasped Qin Ruomeng's slender jade hand, placing the pendant in her palm.

"This is the Ye Family's token; with it, you are a woman of the Ye Family and can freely enter and exit the Ye Family's Ancient Mansion."

Gazing upon the jade pendant in her palm, Qin Ruomeng's face revealed a poignant smile, and she spoke, "This jade pendant..."

"Keep it safe!" Ye Tianfan urged, then suddenly stepped forward, shielding Qin Ruomeng behind him, his face gradually revealing a fierce expression, angrily stated, "Seven Fiends General, do you truly think, having sealed my acupoints, I can't do anything to you?"
