Chapter 1111 - He Has Come Back

When Xuan Shitong flew into Chen Fan’s arms without a care for her image, the members of the Xuan Ting Demon Sect were all dumbfounded and petrified.

Princess Xuan Shitong—noble heir of the sect, a peerless beauty admired for both her strength and grace—was a figure akin to a goddess in their eyes. No one dared to think of her improperly, let alone imagine such an unrestrained display of affection from her.

And yet... she had just leapt into the arms of an unfamiliar man.

In front of everyone.

The shock was seismic.

Many people knew that one of the current demon lords, Tu Shan, had once pursued the princess but had failed.

Now, the princess actually lost her self-control and had thrown herself into a man’s arms. An unfamiliar man. The impact of this scene was truly too much for them.

Those who admired Xuan Shitong could almost hear the sound of their hearts breaking.

When they came back to their senses, the gazes of everyone, including those of the demon generals, shot toward Chen Fan, filled with intense hostility.

That abominable man had snatched away their noble goddess.

Meanwhile, Yan Shuiyi, Tu Shan, and the others also trembled, and their gazes froze.

They had just been thinking about Chen Fan in their hearts, and now he stood before them. Were their minds playing tricks on them?

However, how could this be a hallucination?

Could so many people share the same hallucination?

Everyone who recognized Chen Fan felt their hearts tremble.

He had returned!

“Heartless man, you heartless man, why did you take so long to visit me? Boohoo... I’ll bite you to death!” Xuan Shitong’s voice was choked with sobs as she sank her teeth into Chen Fan’s chest.

Chen Fan didn’t dare to channel his true primeval to protect himself. He could only endure it, smiling bitterly, helplessly.

Naturally, he understood the reason for her anger. This was just how she chose to vent it.

Moments later, he felt her weeping softly in his arms. His heart ached as he murmured, “Alright, it’s my fault, I was wrong. I should have come sooner. It’s all on me. Don’t cry, you’re a noble princess. What will happen to your dignity if they see you like this?”

Chen Fan could only keep comforting Xuan Shitong.

After some time, she finally calmed down. She looked up with a tear-stained face, making him feel tender affection for her.

“Are you done venting?” Chen Fan said, looking at Xuan Shitong.

She glared at him fiercely and said, “Not yet. It’s still too soon. I’ve built up twenty years of grievance. There’s no way I’ll be done venting so quickly!”

He smiled bitterly and said, “Alright, I’ll keep you company for the next few days and let you vent. You can do whatever you want, how about it?”

“You said this yourself.”

Chen Fan nodded.

“Alright then, watch the Demon General Ranking Battle with me first.”

Xuan Shitong got out of his embrace, linked arms with him, and flew over to the tall stands.

As for the gazes from the people of the Xuan Ting Demon Sect, she didn’t care at all.

Naturally, Chen Fan didn’t care either and flew over with her.

He greeted Yan Shuiyi and the others.

“Yan Shuiyi, Tu Shan, Jin Xingzi, long time no see.”

Yan Shuiyi brushed her hair and revealed a smile before returning the greeting. “Long time no see.”

Just then, a woman hurried over, eyes alight with emotion.

“Big Brother Chen Fan, do you still recognize me?”

Chen Fan studied her for a moment before smiling. “You’re Xiaoyu!”

“Big Brother Chen Fan, you still remember me!”

Mo Qingyu was very happy to see that Chen Fan still remembered her.

Chen Fan smiled. “Why wouldn’t I recognize you? I didn’t expect you to have grown up into a lady in just the blink of an eye.”

Mo Qingyu blushed slightly and said, “Big Brother Chen Fan, I’ve also entered the demon sect and am a powerful martial artist now.”

“Good, keep it up.” He nodded with a smile.

Chen Fan and Xuan Shitong sat down.

She clung to him like an octopus, as if afraid he’d vanish again, leaving him not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

“Resume the Demon General Ranking Battle. I’ll reward you greatly afterward!” declared Chen Fan.

The intense battle had paused the moment Chen Fan arrived.

The crowd’s gazes descended on Chen Fan, eager to know the identity of the man who could steal the princess’s heart and make her act so unlike her usual composed self.

When no one moved, Tu Shan’s voice boomed across the training ground like thunder.

“Continue!”

Immediately, those demon generals came back to their senses.

Since Tu Shan had given the order, those demon generals didn’t dare neglect it. Though curiosity about Chen Fan burned within them, none dared linger on it for now.

After all, this concerned their interests.

As for the demon generals not fighting right now, their divine wills collided, silent sparks of conversation igniting between them.

“Who is he? What’s the tea?”

“This is unbelievable. It’s my first time seeing the princess lose her composure like this. He should be her lover. Damn it, she’s the goddess of my dreams, but her heart already belongs to someone else.”

“

Haaa

, I heard that Demon Lord Tu Shan once tried to pursue her but failed. Whoever this man is, he’s clearly managed to do what Tu Shan couldn’t.”

“You fools, with short hair and shorter sight, that’s Chen Fan! He was once the first demon general. He represented our Xuan Ting Demon Sect in the last iteration of the Demonic Child Selection Battle. Not only did he secure candidacy, he also ascended the Demonic Mountain and entered the Sacred Palace Hall...”

“Chen Fan... you mean the one who became a legend more than twenty years ago, that Chen Fan? Some of his deeds are still circulating both inside and outside the Xuan Ting Demon Sect. I heard that he’s not from the Myriad Demon Islands, but the continent...”

Although these demon generals did not recognize Chen Fan, they had heard of his legendary deeds. Some had even longed to meet him in person.

“That’s him. I heard he obtained his candidacy with half-step Manifestation realm cultivation. And, just so you know, the last iteration of the Demonic Child Selection Battle was the most competitive one in the last thousand years. First and second-level Manifestation realm experts were everywhere.

“I also heard that over twenty years ago, some powerful demonic cultivators descended on the Xuan Ting Demonic Island. The sect was on the brink of destruction, but he turned the tide by luring the ninth-level Manifestation realm demon lord away. Shockingly, he somehow killed him, despite being only at the third level himself.”

The divine wills of the demon generals trembled and collided violently. When they looked at Chen Fan again, their gazes were already filled with admiration.

Although they had never met Chen Fan before, they had heard of him and his legendary deeds.

And every one of those feats was enough to command their respect.
