A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage) novel Chapter 2077

“Take it easy, Moon God!”

When Mochizuki Kawa and the others saw Moon God acting so recklessly, they wanted to stop her.

Alas, Tsukuyomi couldn't possibly allow them to hold her back.

She forcefully shoved the Japanese martial artists blocking her path away and sprinted toward Ye Fan desperately.

Perhaps she tugged on her injury, but blood again gushed out of her abdomen.

However, that didn't matter to her anymore.

No matter how painful her physical injuries were, the agony paled in comparison to the distress within her at the sight of her master injured.

By then, Ye Fan had already stood up from amidst the ruins.

With Dragon God Body having been thwarted, his clothes had also been long since ripped to shreds.

Blood trickled down his arm.

Beneath the broken skin, one could vaguely glimpse milk-white bone.

Such anguish inundated Moon God that tears streamed down her face.

Hugging the man hard, she sobbed, “Let's not battle anymore, Master. Never again. We'll go back to Jiangdong. Let's go home...”

The girl who was weeping as she hugged Ye Fan right then was no longer Japan's highest deity who previously took the country by storm and astounded the entire world. Instead, she was merely a young maiden in love, a girl who was worried about the person she liked.

Simply put, she was but the innocent girl Ye Fan took everywhere with him back then, Suzumiya Eigetsu.

In her world, there was no grand undertaking or Japan and its citizens.

To her, the country and its survival were illusory.

Only her master was real.

Her world consisted of Ye Fan alone.

She had already lost him once, and she didn't want to experience the torment of losing him again.

For that reason, her heart almost shattered into a million pieces when she saw Blaze injuring him.

As she wailed in utter distress, she appeared just like a child.

“It's just a paltry injury, silly. I've experience life-and-death situations countless times, so such a paltry injury is nothing.”

Ye Fan never expected her immense grief at his superficial injury.

Unbeknownst to him, Suzumiya Eigetsu was afraid that she would lose him once more.

It was precisely because she had experienced such pain that she was all the more fearful of loss.

Thus, the man's reassurance didn't work on her.

Her face pale and her body weak, she continued hugging him tightly. Burying her head in his chest, she repeatedly begged him not to battle anymore.

She wanted to go back to Jiangdong. More so, she wanted him to return there, back to the place where they first met.

It was also there that she experienced the warmth of home for the very first time.

Therefore, to her, Ye Fan's home was also her home.

After so many years of fighting and being adrift, her heart, which had been weak in the first place, had long since been riddled with holes.

Her greatest desire had never been influenced and power.

She only wanted to go home, return to Jiangdong, back to their home.

There were no battles or bloodshed there, much less the risk of separation brought by death.

The only thing that existed was peaceful bliss and happiness.

That's true. After experiencing so much and witnessing the sufferings of the world, possessing the so-called influence and power is nothing in the grand scheme of things. Living a simple and peaceful life is the most basic happiness.

“Eigetsu, I promise that I'll bring you back, back to Jiangdong in Jingzhou. I'll do gardening with you and visit Dongchang Lake with you again. Soon... When this battle draws to an end, I'll take you wherever you want to go and allow you to eat whatever you want. But now, let me settle this grievance that has persisted for more than ten years.”

Ye Fan's expression gradually turned chilly.

His energy that had been scattered spewed and condensed at his elixir field once more.

At that very moment, he resembled a flame that rekindled from the ashes, his power again bursting forth.

Pivoting, he pinned a sharp gaze on the four-winged beast.

Ultimately, I underestimated this little beast.

He initially thought that there were few in this world who could injure him, considering the might of his Dragon God Body.

Unfortunately, he miscalculated.

Never had he thought that the Dragon God Body he had relied on for years would actually be no match for a trample from the beast.

“Don't battle anymore, Master... I beg you. Please don't battle anymore,” Suzumiya Eigetsu continued pleading.

Tugging on Ye Fan's clothes, she shook her head at the man with tears staining her face.

He didn't give a fig about the changes in Ye Fan.

In his eyes, the man was no match for a swipe of the claw by Blaze, regardless of how many tricks he had up his sleeve.

After all, nothing could stand against absolute power.

Blaze was so strong that almost all conspiracies and tricks in the world couldn't do it any harm.

“Attack!”

Following Chu Tianqi's order, Blaze let out a long howl.

Subsequently, it waved its sharp claws and charged toward Ye Fan again.

Ye Fan merely stood there motionless like a statue.

It wasn't until Blaze had almost reached him that he stretched out his hand and seized its massive claw.

The tremendous impact dragged him back a hundred meters.

Seeing that, Chu Tianqi sneered and shook his head contemptuously.

“What a fool! You even wanted to test your strength against Blaze? You're mortal, yet you have delusions of being equally matched with divinity? You are just like a firefly, but you want to compete with the moon!”

He snickered scornfully.

Regretfully, his smile didn't last long.

Ye Fan, who was propelled backward by the momentum, finally stood his ground. After blocking off Blaze's attack, he continued grasping its sharp claw.

Subsequently, infinite power burst forth from his tiny and fragile body under everyone's shocked gaze.

Using himself as the fulcrum, he actually managed to lift Blaze's gigantic body.

“H-H-How is this possible?”

Everyone's jaws dropped at the sight of that scene.

Utter shock pervaded Chu Tianqi.

Never had he imagined that there was really someone in this world who could be on equal footing with Blaze.

Bam!

While everyone was still in shock, Ye Fan had already hoisted Blaze over his head. He slammed it onto the ground hard.

Then, he repeated that series of actions.
