Invincibility Begins with a Super Fairy Manny

Chapter 1696: Chapter 1692: Grateful Beyond Words (First Update)

Upon hearing Xue An’s promise, Auntie Pang was overwhelmed with joy and tears, and choked while saying: ”Xiao An, this senior, thank you both, I...”

Zhuge Cang waved his hand and said with a carefree smile: ”There’s no need for such formality, I have been enjoying your meals for free for the past year, consider it as my payment.”

Xue An also said, ”Yes, Auntie Pang, this is something we should do, and rest assured, we will definitely help Uncle Xie recover to normal!”

Auntie Pang looked at Old Xie, who sat beside her like a wooden figure, with tearful eyes and whispered, ”Actually, it’s okay even if he can’t be healed!”

The dining table gradually fell silent.

Auntie Pang lowered her head, ”At first, I couldn’t accept it either, forcing Old Xie to speak every day, wanting him to return to how he was, but gradually, I became less fixated on this because I’ve come to realize!”

At this point, Auntie Pang raised her head, forcing a smile more pained than crying, and said with a trembling voice: ”Xiao An, Auntie Pang thanks you for your kindness, but if he can’t be healed, Auntie Pang won’t blame you, truly!”

”Because compared to those who have completely lost their loved ones, I am already very lucky, at least I can see him every day when I open my eyes, even if he remembers nothing. As long as he stays by my side, I ask for nothing more!”

Everyone fell silent.

An Yan’s eyes glimmered with tears, how could she not understand Auntie Pang’s feelings now?

When Xue An disappeared back then, didn’t she live through days of agonizing torment every day!

Even recalling it made An Yan tremble slightly all over.

As if sensing An Yan’s unease, Xue An gently placed his hand on her knee.

An Yan lifted her head and glanced at him.

Xue An smiled at her, and although he said nothing, his eyes were full of tenderness.

Seeing this, Fan Mengxue, sitting opposite, lowered her head in melancholy.

At this moment, sensing the somber atmosphere at the dining table, Zhuge Cang quickly said: ”Alright, alright, today is Xiao An’s return day, let’s all be happy!”

Auntie Pang hurriedly wiped away her tears upon hearing this, ”Yes, yes, yes! Today is a joyous day, let’s not talk about unhappy things, come, Auntie Pang will use drinks as wine, let’s all have a cup!”

Everyone moved in unison.

”Come on! Let’s have a drink!”

The atmosphere instantly became lively.

And just as everyone was exchanging drinks and laughing heartily.

In a small alley opposite Old Xie’s Restaurant, Du Fan, who was meditating with eyes closed in a car, suddenly opened his eyes.

In an instant, a powerful and overwhelming aura came rushing out.

Moreover, a brilliant light flickered in his eyes, making it difficult to look directly at him.

Du Fan slowly exhaled, the light in his eyes gradually fading, and the previously fierce aura receded.

Yet, in his every move, there still occasionally emerged a domineering and peerless air.

If anyone were beside him witnessing this, they would surely gasp in astonishment, for Du Fan had evidently become a strongholder of the Longevity Realm.

Such a level of existence, even in today’s world, would be considered a powerful being.

Du Fan naturally felt the change in his realm, showing a look of excitement on his face.

Because not long ago, after drinking the tea that Xue An rewarded him with, he felt as if a fire was burning within him, with pure spiritual energy persistently washing away impurities within him.

Du Fan knew it was all due to that cup of spiritual tea, becoming an opportunity for him to break through his current level.

One must know that due to limitations in talent and aptitude, Du Fan had been stuck at the Loose Immortal Realm, without any progress for a very long time.

To this, Du Fan had originally resigned himself.

After all, if it hadn’t been for Xue An’s gift of dragon liver, he might not have even reached the Heavenly Human Realm, let alone the Loose Immortal Realm.

But unexpectedly, he encountered another once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

So Du Fan immediately left Old Xie’s Restaurant, got into his car, and meditated, attempting to break through to the Longevity Realm.

In the end, he effortlessly broke through the Loose Immortal Realm, reaching the Longevity Realm.

Although still incomparable to those top-level strongholders with Golden Immortal Cultivation, Du Fan was already very satisfied.

After all, a long time ago, he was just an ordinary person with no access to the path of cultivation!

Thinking of this, Du Fan couldn’t help but feel filled with gratitude towards Xue An.

It’s no exaggeration to say that even if Xue An asked Du Fan to slit his throat now, he wouldn’t have any complaints.

Because only after reaching Longevity does one realize the difficulty and rarity of cultivation.

Yet Xue An gave him two opportunities, how could he not be deeply grateful for that.

Slightly calming down his boiling blood, Du Fan rolled down the car window.

The hand protecting from afar immediately approached.

”Brother Fan!”

”During my meditation, was there anything unusual around the restaurant?” Du Fan asked in a deep voice.

”Replying to Brother Fan, we thoroughly patrolled the area as per your instructions, and found nothing unusual!”

”Good!” Du Fan nodded and then instructed, ”Keep your eyes peeled, if anything disrupts the esteemed guests inside, I will personally skin you!”

The subordinates all straightened up with seriousness, ”Yes! Brother Fan rest assured, I’ve already informed the brothers, now the area is all our people!”

”Mhm!”

At this moment, a subordinate who had been with Du Fan for many years looked at Old Xie’s Restaurant with some reverence and whispered, ”Brother Fan, the one who just went in... Is it the legendary person?”

Du Fan’s expression darkened, scolding: ”Don’t poke your nose into matters that aren’t your concern! Can you afford the consequences of offending an esteemed person?”

”Yes, yes, yes! We were just asking out of respect!”

Du Fan gave a barely perceptible nod, ”That’s right, it’s that esteemed person!”

The subordinates, hearing this, straightened up in awe and looked at Old Xie’s Restaurant with admiration.

”Go! Remind the brothers to stay sharp!”

”Yes!”

The subordinates dispersed accordingly.

Du Fan remained in the car for a while longer.

From his vantage point, he could vaguely see some of what was happening inside through the glass door.

The laughter and cheer proving that those inside were enjoying their banquet.

Du Fan didn’t intrusively join in.

Because he knew, the ones who could sit with Xue An now were all his close friends and family.

Although he had some rapport with the esteemed person, it was nowhere near such intimacy.

Moreover, there’s a distinct difference in their statuses.

But Du Fan suddenly thought of something, quickly took out his phone, and dialed a number.

A moment later, a cool female voice came through the phone, ”What is it!”

Du Fan immediately said, ”Chairwoman, the esteemed person has returned!”
