A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)

Chapter 2255 Save The Life Of Angie Or Not

Angie and Wan'er finally left the room. After calming down, Ye Fan continued his cultivation. Time was slipping away rapidly, leaving him with scarce moments. In his unwavering determination to safeguard Angie's life, he understood that an urgent breakthrough into the God Realm was imperative. Over the year, Angie's physical condition had improved significantly under the diligent care of Wan'er. Yet, it was merely treating the symptoms, not the root cause.

Ye Fan understood deep in his heart that no matter how many supplements Angie consumed, they would be in vain as long as her refined energy remained damaged. Ultimately, it became clear that they had to rely on Ye Fan to harness the formidable power of the God Realm to heal Angie. Only through this path could they permanently cure Angie's injuries once and for all. As the days went by, time continued to pass.

Throughout the year, Ye Fan devoted himself tirelessly to cultivation, immersing himself in its practice day and night. Without a doubt, both his elemental force strength and personal cultivation had grown significantly, surpassing the level he had initially attained when he first entered the secret realm. However, for some unknown reason, Ye Fan always felt that he was just a hair's breadth away from breaking through the limits. It's like a bottle, where you can clearly see the opening. Yet, no matter how much water Ye Fan tried to pour into it, it just never seemed to fill up completely. He was not able to unravel the mystery behind it.

Why did it always seem to fall just a little bit short?

Thinking about that, Ye Fan released a sigh of disappointment.

Huff...

With his eyes closed, he sat quietly as the boundless elemental force swirled wildly before him. Within Ye Fan's body, the Celestial Cloud technique was invoked even more intensely. With each

exhalation, the energy of heaven and earth in the surrounding was drawn and flowed along his limbs and coursed through his bones. It converged fiercely towards the elixir field within his body.

Ye Fan's aura grew stronger and stronger with each cycle. However, no matter how arduously he practiced, the elusive breakthrough of the fifth level of Celestial Cloud remained beyond his reach, like an insurmountable barrier standing in his path. In the beginning, Ye Fan was relatively calm. After all, the path of cultivation is inherently filled with obstacles and challenges. From ancient times to the present day, numerous remarkable individuals have been trapped at bottlenecks, unable to make even the slightest progress. Ye Fan found himself facing such a bottleneck was simply an essential part of the journey, as countless beings had encountered similar obstacles along the path of cultivation. He had always believed that through his unwavering effort and relentless dedication, he would inevitably transcend his current limitations and ascend to the divine realm. However, the deadline of one year drew closer and closer. He understood that time waits for no one.

As the days wore on, a sense of restlessness consumed Ye Fan, gnawing at his very core and leaving him increasingly unsettled.

Hurry up...Hurry up...

What's holding me back from breaking through this final stage?

Ye Fan pondered, searching for answers that seemed to elude him. Sometimes, the most disheartening experience is not the taste of failure, but rather the tantalizing closeness of success, as if it were within arm's reach, teasingly elusive. Nevertheless, that final leap seemed impossible to kick through the barrier. The feeling of regret, anxiety, and helplessness in those moments was beyond the power of words to express. As time swiftly passed, a whole month slipped through their fingers, bringing them closer and closer to the final deadline.

At this very moment, Ye Fan's restlessness had reached its pinnacle, accumulating to an unbearable extent. Finally, it erupted with a thunderous force! In another secret chamber, Angie and

Wan'er sensed an overwhelming surge of elemental force sweeping past them. The magnitude of this spectacle far surpassed the scene witnessed when Ye Fan broke through his Thunder God body. The fluctuations of the elemental force were even more intense, and likewise, they were also more violent and chaotic.

“W-what's wrong?”

“What happened?” Angie was puzzled as she had never seen such a spectacle before. Instantly, Wan'er's intuition alerted her to something. A deep sense of worry and anxiety engulfed her. She abruptly stood up and rushed into the secluded chamber where Ye Fan was practicing his cultivation. As expected, she saw Ye Fan lying on the ground upon entering. His chest and the floor were all covered in fresh blood.

“Ye Fan!” Wan'er cried out.

She immediately ran over with a heart full of concern. At this moment, Angie also realized that something had happened to Ye fan. With an anxious expression on her face, she approached and began to inquire about the situation, “Ye Fan, what's happened to you?”

A pallor washed over Ye Fan's face. He glanced at Angie and said with a tone of shame, “Angie, I'm so sorry. I feel utterly useless. I'm nothing but a worthless failure. It's been a year of hardship, and I still haven't been able to break through the limits.”

He continued, “Angie, it's all my fault. I'm so sorry...”

Ye Fan's eyes were bloodshot as he was filled with guilt and shame. His hands clenched tightly, with his fingertips almost penetrating deep into his flesh. That immense feeling of helplessness and guilt tormented Ye Fan greatly.NôvelDrama.Org © content.

What he hated most in his life was this feeling of helplessness. Angie, this young and beautiful girl, was right in front of him. Her life was nearing its end, yet he could do nothing to save her. He had previously thought of being able to break through to the god realm so that he could heal her injury.

Then, he could take her home to reunite with her brother. He had longed to accompany her to pay respect to her father. Regrettably, it appeared that there was no chance now. As Ye Fan was filled with shame and self-blame, Angie's tender hand gently grasped his palm. This young girl, who faced with death, appeared to be remarkably calm. Angie comforted, “Ye Fan, you don't owe me an apology. You have already done well. I appreciate what you have done for me. Without you, I probably would have died long ago. I am content with being able to live an extra year. Moreover, this past year has been the happiest time of my life.”

She continued with a smile, “Thank you, Ye Fan. It's because of you that I've experienced a life I've never experienced before and enjoyed a life I've never had,”

The first half of Angie's life was spent in solitude. When she was young, everyone treated her like a monster and no one wanted to play with her. As she grew older, she was confined within the depths of her family and was even betrothed to a man she didn't know as his wife.

At times, Angie felt that ever since she started remembering things, she had been walking in darkness without friends, companions, and even the right to decide whom to marry. Furthermore, her only father and elder brother sacrificed her happiness for the interest of their family. Fortunately, she met Ye Fan, who whisked her away at the wedding. It was also through Ye Fan that she got to explore the outside world. Angie couldn't even imagine how her life would have turned out if she had never met Ye Fan in this lifetime.

If she had married Chu Tianqi, she would have had to endure his bullying and abuse and bear his children. In that case, it would have been a life more horrifying than death. It was Ye Fan who

changed her. During the year she spent in the secret realm, despite the absence of the vibrant colors of the outside world, she found solace in the companionship of Ye Fan.

Alongside her was the intelligent and gentle Wan'er, who taught her music, alchemy, and all sorts of fascinating and peculiar things. There was also a mischievous old Huangniu. There aren't many people, but they were all very interesting and kind, accompanying her in laughter and fun. For countless days and nights, she had yearned for a tranquil life like that, and now, she had achieved it. Even though it had only been a year, the contentment she felt was beyond measure.

“Ye Fan, I have a favor to ask. Can you make me a promise?” Angie asked softly. Ye Fan nodded, “Angie, go ahead and tell me. Even if it's an extremely dangerous and difficult request, I'm willing to take the risk for you.”

Angie demanded with a smile, “All right, it's a deal. You have to agree to whatever I say.”

“My request is that...” she continued, “Can you please stop practicing cultivation for this remaining month? I want you to be by my side all the time”

“This...” Ye Fan suddenly fell silent after he heard what she said. He hesitated and was reluctant to agree to her request.

“Angie, you have to understand...” Ye Fan said anxiously, “If I give up cultivation now, I'll lose even the slightest hope of reaching the God Realm.”

Angie nodded and said, “I know, but I prefer to spend more time with you.”

Wan'er chimed in, looking concerned, “You should just agree. Considering your current situation, the chances of breaking through to the God Realm in the last month are practically impossible. Instead of futilely striving for the impossible, it's wiser to fulfill Angie's final wish”

In the end, as Ye Fan locked eyes with Angie, witnessing the earnest plea in her gaze, his heart softened, and he finally agreed. Thereafter, in the last remaining month, Ye Fan decided to give up his cultivation practice and was determined to accompany Angie through the final stages of her life journey. Despite that, he couldn't accept it deep inside his heart.

“Angie is still so young, so vibrant. Is this really how it ends for her?” he kept pondering, grappling with the harsh reality of the situation.

Each time Angie fell into a deep sleep, Ye Fan would sneak off to a distant corner, drowning his sorrows in alcohol while lamenting the situation. Wan'er keenly perceived the emotional turmoil that Ye Fan was experiencing. One day, unable to contain her concern any longer, Wan'er approached Ye Fan with a serious expression on her face. Locking her gaze with his, she asked with genuine earnestness, “Ye Fan, do you truly wish to save Angie?”
