The night in Forty-Nine City is bustling. Even though it's not midnight yet, there are a lot of vehicles and pedestrians on the road, especially near places close to dining, accommodation, and entertainment facilities.

According to the information Ye Fan received from Sang Yuan, Shen Yan is currently staying in a hotel in Forty-Nine City. For years, Shen Yan has been singing away from home, with an unstable work schedule and an unstable life, often traveling between several cities or even countries. She doesn't even have a home of her own.

From what Ye Fan had learned before, Shen Yan's parents might be secret intelligence agents working for the country. As a result, Shen Yan grew up without the warmth of a family, which is why she longs for a stable life and is very steadfast in love. What she desires is a love that's faithful to the end. If she can't have that, she would rather not think about it anymore. Shen Yan is a girl who doesn't know how to compromise. Ye Fan is excellent in every way, but precisely because of his excellence, he's attracted many girls. Shen Yan knows she's not the first, so she doesn't dare to continue the relationship with Ye Fan.

Ye Fan didn't insist.

For Ye Fan, the most important thing is to protect Shen Yan's beautiful wish, allowing her to live happily and freely. This time, he plans to help Shen Yan break through to the Golden Core Stage and then make her forget him. Although it may not be effective, at least it would make Shen Yan forget recent events and make her happier.

"Young master, the person is upstairs, shall we go up?" Sang Yuan and Ye Fan stood outside the hotel, looking up at a room on the twelfth floor.

Both of them now had a perception different from ordinary people and could clearly feel the situation inside the room. At the moment, Shen Yan was packing her luggage. As she had previously mentioned, she was preparing to travel around the world all by herself. If she found a suitable place to live, she might never return, as she had already earned in a few years more money than most people make in a lifetime. She could comfortably enjoy life instead of continuing to tire herself out.

"Let's wait a bit. I want to guard her from outside for a while." Ye Fan's mood was complicated. He was afraid to face Shen Yan, but if he directly knocked Shen Yan unconscious, without her voluntarily guiding spiritual energy, he wouldn't be able to help her complete her cultivation. This placed Ye Fan in a dilemma. How could he help her complete her cultivation without her knowing it was him?

"Young master, I seem to feel a powerful pressure, maybe a strong enemy is approaching, please be careful." Sang Yuan suddenly felt uneasy.

Even Sang Yuan could feel the immense pressure, so the newcomer must possess an incredibly terrifying cultivation level. Ye Fan guessed that, other than the elusive No-Shadow, it could only be a demon that could pressure someone like Sang Yuan, who had ascended to such a high level. The Jiuyou Su Girl was another possibility, but currently, both the Jiuyou Su Girl and No-Shadow had been lured by him to the center of the galaxy to search for a secret Divine Artifact, so they shouldn't return at this time.

But Ye Fan obviously underestimated No-Shadow's cultivation.

The Jiuyou Su Girl had been gone for almost a month without any news, but No-Shadow returned after only four or five days.

When Ye Fan saw a hunched shadow approaching, holding a cane and coughing, he felt a deep sense of aversion. No-Shadow had caused him trouble more than once, and coming to his door this time was obviously to question him on why he used deceitful words.

"Cough cough, Young Master Ye, we meet again." No-Shadow approached in the guise of the man Ye Fan first encountered, rather than a female form.

Ye Fan saluted politely, "Senior."

Sang Yuan remained vigilant, scrutinizing No-Shadow, who shook his head slightly, looking at the nearby pedestrian traffic. "No need to fear, I will not harm the mortals on Earth. If I wanted to kill you, even if this girl helped, you would have no ability to resist!"

"How arrogant, but do you truly have such power?" Sang Yuan was very dissatisfied with No-Shadow's statement.

Ye Fan said nothing. He found it a bit strange why No-Shadow appeared before him and didn't want to directly tear into things. As No-Shadow said, their power levels were not on the same scale. No-Shadow's cultivation was capable of not just destruction but even twisting and altering space-time. Tearing things open with No-Shadow would likely leave nothing behind.

"Senior, have you found the Divine Artifact?" Ye Fan asked.

No-Shadow shook his head slightly, "This journey was in vain. I hoped to do something I had long wanted after finding it, but... again, it proved fruitless. Alas!"

"What exactly does senior wish to do? Is there anything I might assist with?" Ye Fan inquired.

No-Shadow squinted, studying Ye Fan, "Do you know why I've sought you out?"

Ye Fan shook his head. He did not know No-Shadow's specific purpose but understood he still held temporary value in No-Shadow's eyes. Perhaps there was indeed something No-Shadow could not do, but he could. Contemplating further, Ye Fan realized No-Shadow's cultivation was terrifyingly high, akin to the Jiuyou Su Girl, both transcending the realm of cultivation almost to the level of a great being. However, something the Jiuyou Su Girl didn't possess was the ability to communicate with spiritual bodies.

Because Ye Fan possesses this ability, Sang Yuan sought his help to find the Nine Heavens Mysterious Woman, and after communicating with her, aided her in regaining a human body.

"Senior, is there a spiritual body you need me to communicate with?" Ye Fan asked frankly.

"Haha, smart of you. Follow me." No-Shadow suddenly started walking away slowly.

As Ye Fan was about to meet Shen Yan, the presence of No-Shadow left him with no choice. No-Shadow continued, "Are you thinking of meeting an ordinary human woman, realizing that when you can ascend, ruling Earth with that power, what woman couldn't you have?"

Sang Yuan coolly retorted, "Young Master is already the master of the secret realm and Earth, able to have any woman he desires."

"Is that so? Haha." No-Shadow did not turn back but continued walking, laughing, "And what about the Mysterious Woman? Her daughter? And... this girl whom Young Master Ye is eager to meet upstairs."

Ye Fan said, "Senior speaks correctly. If I could become Earth's master, I could indeed have any woman I want, yet it would only grant their bodies, not their hearts, so what good would it do?"

No-Shadow sighed softly, shaking his head muttering, "You still don't understand women. To truly have them, well... many things can't be explained to you!"

No-Shadow initially intended to lecture Ye Fan but stopped halfway through his sentence. Ye Fan, meanwhile, found it peculiar. No-Shadow was also a woman, and as someone nearly on par with ancient great beings, she wouldn't comprehend human emotions or have the desires of mortal women. How could she know women so well?

"Here." No-Shadow stopped in front of a pool in front of the hotel. From a mortal's perspective, the pool appeared empty, but Ye Fan could perceive through the copper mirror within him a haze in the pool, vaguely resembling a girl. The girl gazed at the fountain, seemingly curious about where the fountain's water came from.

"What can you see?" No-Shadow, facing away from Ye Fan, also looked toward the pool.

Ye Fan wondered if No-Shadow could sense the presence of this girl-spiritual body. Uncertain of No-Shadow's intentions, honesty seemed the best course. Ye Fan replied, "I can see a spiritual body."

"You truly can see it?" No-Shadow frowned, eyeing Ye Fan.
