When Meng Chuan left Ruthless's Cave Abode, it was already the next day.
They had talked at length. Meng Chuan had also urged Ruthless not to think about cultivating in the Chaos Sea before reaching the pinnacle of the Sacrificial Dao.
He had explained everything carefully, and Ruthless had agreed.
In the end, their conversation had closed with Ruthless saying, "Come back safe," and watching him go.
When Meng Chuan emerged from her Cave Abode the next day, he ran into Ye Fan.
Ye Fan looked at him, his face beaming with delight.
"Step in something Black Emperor left behind on your way out?" Meng Chuan glanced at Ye Fan. "Why are you so happy?"
"I'm not happy. Not one bit," Ye Fan lied with a straight face.
"Do you need something? If not, stop blocking my way," Meng Chuan said.
"Uncle Meng, what did you and the Female Emperor do?" Ye Fan asked curiously. "Why didn't you come out all night?"
"Nothing. We just talked. Time flew."
"Heh-heh." Ye Fan started grinning again.
"Don't bring a turtle to a barbershop."
Meng Chuan said, "Your cultivation is the weakest now, and instead of working hard, you're standing here giggling?"
"If you still haven't broken through by the time I return from the Chaos Sea, you'd better be ready for a beating."
Meng Chuan walked past Ye Fan. The man's delirious look was getting on his nerves.
"Don't bring a turtle to a barbershop?" Ye Fan repeated, puzzled.
What kind of turtle would carry a barbershop?
But he cast the question aside in an instant. He was happy, and nothing else mattered.
Next, Meng Chuan went to see Shi Hao and Willow God, settling many matters with them.
After that, he wasted no more time and went straight to Primordial Heaven.
