Ye Fan, Mad with Rage

Wu Lei stood motionless before Jiang Yang, shield in hand.

"Boss, don't worry. I won't let him get past me."

"What boss? We're brothers."

Jiang Yang patted Wu Lei on the shoulder, while Ye Qingwei in his arms had already begun struggling.

"Brother Ye Fan, what's wrong with you?"

Ye Qingwei looked at Ye Fan's trembling, murderous expression in confusion, but Jiang Yang held her tightly.

Before she could finish speaking, Ye Fan moved.

Having completely lost his temper, he chose to attack Tang Ya, who was closest to him. His Broadsword shot straight toward her forehead.

"You think I don't know about you and Jiang Yang?"

"Stop pretending, you filthy bitch!"

Ye Fan cursed furiously, tears sliding from the corners of his eyes. The more he had loved Tang Ya before, the more he hated her now.

"Brother Ye Fan, what are you doing?"

Ye Qingwei's face changed drastically. She wanted to rush over, but Jiang Yang held her fast.

Wu Lei and the others treated him like a formidable enemy and stepped forward to block him.

"Get out of the way and hide! He's a Professional—you can't beat him!"

Jiang Yang shouted urgently.

Though Ye Fan was only a Basic Warrior, he still retained seven years of killing experience from the Apocalypse. He was not someone ordinary people could handle.

Tang Ya, too, sensed the breath of death. Before she could even scream, she saw a figure appear in front of her.

A crisp metallic clang rang out.

A notch was chipped directly into Ye Fan's Broadsword.

Jiang Yang caught the Vibranium Round Shield Wu Lei tossed over, while wrapping his other arm around Tang Ya.

"You did well. I'll reward you tonight."

Jiang Yang whispered into Tang Ya's ear, his large hand giving her body a hard squeeze. In a critical moment like this, no one could see anyway.

But while the others could not see it, Ye Fan, standing directly in front of them, saw everything clearly.

"You adulterous pair!"

"You pair of sluts!"

Ye Fan roared, drawing his sword as he charged at Jiang Yang. Jiang Yang merely exerted a little force and tossed Tang Ya toward Qiu Chan.

"Ye Fan, what the hell are you going crazy for?"

Jiang Yang raised the Vibranium Round Shield to block Ye Fan's attack, retreating several steps in a row.

Then he glared at Ye Fan in anger.

"Is something wrong with your head? Are you planning to kill all of us over some treasure?"

"Fuck you! Die!"

Ye Fan had nearly lost all reason. His figure flickered several times before he arrived in front of Jiang Yang.

Seven years in the Apocalypse were no joke.

Jiang Yang frowned deeply. Every one of his attributes surpassed Ye Fan's, yet he still had trouble seeing through the other man's movements.

When Ye Fan had charged over just now, he seemed to have used an extremely strange footwork technique. Was this the strength of a Son of the Plane?

At that moment, Jiang Yang tilted his head slightly and raised the round shield to block the blade, but deliberately eased up a little, allowing Ye Fan's sword to slash into his shoulder.

Blood immediately flowed freely. Jiang Yang bared his teeth in pain. Naturally, he had been capable of dodging Ye Fan's blade, but there was no need.

Because Ye Qingwei was right beside him.

"Brother!"

Seeing Jiang Yang injured, Ye Qingwei ran over anxiously, green light emerging from her body.

"Brother Ye Fan, what are you going crazy for? Why did you attack Brother Jiang?"

As Ye Qingwei healed Jiang Yang, she glared angrily at Ye Fan, her eyes misty.

She did not know why Ye Fan had suddenly attacked Jiang Yang, but she had just heard him call them an adulterous pair.

Ye Fan seemed to have been shouting at Tang Ya and Jiang Yang.

Seeing Ye Qingwei so close to Jiang Yang, the fire in Ye Fan's heart flared even higher.

"Qingwei, did Jiang Yang do anything to you? Stay away from him. He and Tang Ya are an adulterous pair!"

Ye Fan blurted out everything about Tang Ya and Jiang Yang, only realizing afterward that he had no evidence proving they were having an affair.

It was only his guess.

Unless he revealed that he had been reborn, but reincarnation was his greatest secret. He could not tell anyone, and even if he did, no one would probably believe him.

"What madness are you spouting? How could Bro Jiang possibly have anything to do with Sister Tang Ya?"

Ye Qingwei glared furiously at Ye Fan. She knew Jiang Yang's character well—there was no way he could be involved with Tang Ya.

Besides, Jiang Yang had been with her the entire past few days, while Tang Ya had only just joined the group.

"Exactly! What madness are you spouting, Ye Fan?"

Tang Ya was caught by Qiu Chan and the others. Her face was still pale with lingering fright, yet she immediately played along with Jiang Yang.

"Heh, if I could be with Master Jiang, would I still be living such a miserable life with you?"

"Are you still holding a grudge because I spent your money?"

Tang Ya's eyes brimmed with tears. "How was I supposed to know that was the money you'd saved for Qingwei's treatment? Actually, I know I was wrong too. I'm sorry, Qingwei, but once the money was spent, they wouldn't refund it... sob..."

Good lord, was she an acting student or something?

Even Jiang Yang was taken aback by Tang Ya's performance. Her acting was already eighty percent as good as his.

Of course, the truth was nothing like what Tang Ya had said, but Ye Qingwei did not know that, and the others had even less chance of knowing.

When everyone believed something was true, then it became true.

"Brother Ye Fan, Bro Jiang has already cured my illness."

"Now, he and I..."

Ye Qingwei did not continue. Instead, she nestled into Jiang Yang's arms.

Ye Fan's eyes had already filled with bloodshot veins. His whole body shook violently, as though he had gone mad.

Mental damage inflicted on the Son of the Plane. Fate Trajectory has changed.

Water Ability acquired.

The system notification sounded, and the blood throughout Jiang Yang's body began to surge rapidly.

Every cell in his body seemed to cheer with joy, as though welcoming a new life.

Then, with a sudden buzz, Jiang Yang felt as if he had formed some new connection with the world.

"Water Ability."

Jiang Yang murmured to himself. He could sense everything around him related to water.

The water vapor in the air, the moisture in the soil underground, the tap water pipes in the buildings, and even the blood within human bodies.

"I actually have an ability now!"

Jiang Yang's eyes shone as he tried to manipulate the water molecules in the surrounding air. Just then, Ye Fan suddenly roared and lunged at him.

"Qiu Chan, catch her!"

Jiang Yang hurriedly flung Ye Qingwei away. He had already achieved his goal of provoking Ye Fan, and a rift had also formed in Ye Qingwei's heart toward him.

"System, what would happen if I killed Ye Fan now?"

Looking at Ye Fan, who seemed to have lost his mind, Jiang Yang suddenly felt the urge to kill him.

Although keeping him alive would allow Jiang Yang to plunder more opportunities, Ye Fan was the Son of the Plane. Keeping him around would be like carrying a ticking time bomb.

"If I kill Ye Fan, will another Son of the Plane appear?"

Jiang Yang asked a crucial question. His system existed specifically to plunder the opportunities of Sons of the Plane.

If the Son of the Plane was killed, would his system still have any reason to exist?

It would be equivalent to completing the objective directly.

Therefore, Jiang Yang guessed that another Son of the Plane would most likely appear. As for who it would be, he had no idea.
