Chapter 1718, This is really not something a person can do

In the blink of an eye, ten days have passed.
在这十日里，叶梵体内的亡灵蛊已经基本清理干净，那棵珍稀的木渊海王参也被他成功炼化服食，果如他一早所言那般，如今他的生命力和体质都比之以往强了数倍不止。
江若云和唐元的伤势也已全部恢复，同时实力均有着不小的提升。
陆风还以着大衍之术帮着每个人都提升了一番五行本源气息的品质，让得众人在固有的实力精进上，更强了一个层面。
Through the application of the Great Expansion Technique on each individual, Lu Feng also discovered the characteristics of these methods. Due to the difference in their abilities, the impacts and improvements brought about are also varied.
For example, when he uses the Dayan Ring on Ye Fan, it can only help to improve him by one or two levels, but it will consume him by three or four levels instead.
However, when he helps Jiang Ruoyun, it is the opposite, where he can improve her by three or four levels, while only consuming two or three levels himself.
This point is most evident in Miaoyun's performance. When Lufeng helps her improve her temperament, it is much easier than for anyone else, probably due to the huge gap in their current strength. Translated content:
Although Tang Yuan is a beast cultivator, he has also benefited greatly from the Grand Yan Ring. The five elements beast core in his body has been further refined and condensed through this process, reaching a higher level of primal energy for this beast species.
Another day.
Lu Feng and the others were still practicing in the Yunru Stone House as usual. Suddenly, Xuan Priest came looking for them, claiming that the God Tree was showing signs of shedding its leaves, and the expected healing node would be within these few days.
Everyone was pleasantly surprised to hear the words.
Miao Qiuyun was especially excited and her eyes turned moist as she said, "We can finally go home."
Tang Yuan happily went off, saying, "I'll go tell this good news to Old Ye." Translated: "
陆风失笑：“老叶这几日风流得紧，你可未必寻得着他。”
自打恢复年轻俊俏的相貌后，叶梵便没有一日是安分的，整日同那些天雨族的‘年轻女子混迹在一起，也不知是不是木渊海王参让他精力太过旺盛的缘故。
Tang Yuan chuckled and said, "I met him earlier, and he mentioned that he would be heading towards the twin sisters' place today."
Lu Feng was speechless, watching Tang Yuan's departing figure, feeling somewhat nostalgic. They could leave, but not without Ruo Shui...
江若云轻挽着陆风胳膊，安慰道：“若是担心，回头等我们处理完外面的事情，早些回来这儿接她。”
陆风欣慰点头，心中很是奇怪的涌上一丝没来由的空落之感，像是冥冥之中有着什么正在远去一样。
On the other side.
唐元一路打听着来到一间石屋前，出于可以离开的惊喜心绪下，想着捉弄一下叶梵，故而刻意隐匿了自身的气息。
随手取出一截枯木枝，想着弄点烟尘出来吓唬吓唬叶梵，让他狼狈从温柔乡逃出来。
但还不待实施，突听得石屋内隐约传来一阵嬉笑对话，涉及什么‘若水有孕、‘我们走后你们姐妹要好生帮着照顾之类的话语……
Tang Yuan's face instantly turned dark, his aura surged, and the wooden stick in his hand was angrily shattered into pieces.
The violent aura immediately caught Ye Fan's attention.
Realizing what he had just said, Ye Fan quickly jumped up from the bed, disregarding the women on both sides, pulled up his pants, and rushed towards the door of the stone house.
Tang Yuan glared at Ye Fan with anger on his face, and Ye Fan immediately understood that the latter must have heard their conversation and seen through his lie.
Just as he was about to explain, suddenly, Tang Yuan didn't say a word and threw a fierce punch at him.
The terrifying power of the Double Shadow Dragon Fist rushed straight towards his face.
"Lao Tang..." Yefan was choked for a moment, and before he could even react or explain, Tang Yuan punched him and sent him flying several meters away, crashing heavily into the rocky wall inside the stone house.
好在如今气血充足，如若不然这一拳非把他身子骨干折不可。
“说！”唐元愤怒逼近，眼中的火犹似快喷出一般，揪住叶梵领口怒喝：“你对若水妹子做了什么？她如何有的身孕？你有那么多娘们了还不够？连若水妹子你都不放过？你还是不是人？！”
Ye Fan stood still, feeling confused. After a moment, he burst into laughter, and the resentment caused by Tang Yuan's aggressive punch dissipated.
"So, you misunderstood it like this? Thinking that I caused harm to Ruoshui?"
叶梵起身扫去身上的灰尘，推搡了唐元一把，没好气的指责道：“我说老唐，在你眼里我就这么没底线原则的？兔子还不吃窝边草，我又如何可能对若水妹子行那档子事情！我一直当她作妹妹来着……亲妹妹的那种！”
唐元见叶梵此般姿态，不像是做了亏心事的表现，平下几分怒火质问道：“那你说，方才那些什么有孕之类的话语，作何解释？”
Ye Fan smirked and said, "If I told you... it was all orchestrated by Lao Lu, would you believe it?"
Tang Yuan snorted heavily, feeling played by Ye Fan, and his fists were ready for action again.
“停停停！”叶梵连忙叫嚷，倒不是说敌不过唐元，只是觉得再这样挨上一拳，实在太过冤枉了，当下连忙解释：“虽然这事实有些离谱荒谬，可我说的都是真的，不信我叫里头的阿茹她们出来，她们都是知道这事的。”
这时，石屋后侧方的一截屏风后，一名长相甜美的女子微微探出半个身子，点着头附和道：“我证明，阿梵说的都是真的，圣女的身孕确实同阿梵没关系，我们……我们的才同他有关。”
叶梵脸色一窘，尴尬道：“这后半句大可不必，我这可是应你们所请，发扬着乐于助人的美德，咱事先可都说好了的，只作雨露情缘，回头你们可别赖上我，我可是迟早要走的人。”
The girl pouted her lips, lightly hummed, and cutely shrunk back.
此般少女般的表现，全然看不出真实的年纪。
Tang Yuan secretly felt there was something fishy and pulled Ye Fan out of the stone house, and sternly asked, "What's going on? Don't joke around anymore, explain it clearly to me! What happened to Miss Ruoshui?"
Ye Fan sighed deeply and said bluntly, "Do you think the Tianyu Clan would be so kind, providing Old Lu with the North Essence Water without any hesitation, allowing him access to the forbidden grounds, and even offering us so many auxiliary cultivation elixirs and spiritual treasures?"
唐元脸色一沉：“你是说，这一切都同若水妹子有关？”
叶梵点头：“是她作出了牺牲，应下了留在这里的条件，天雨族才会这般对待我们。”
"So, what's the deal with the pregnancy you mentioned?" Tang Yuan's expression turned serious.
叶梵摊了摊手，解释道：“还能怎么回事，着了天雨族那老狐狸的道呗；那老狐狸谎骗若水妹子，称只要为她们天雨族留存下五行纯水体的本源气息，让她们好培育出新一代的五行纯体，就答应将北精之水交由老陆炼化，以及帮我们的恢复伤势。”
"Upon hearing such conditions, Sister Ruoshui didn't even need much thought. With her innocent nature, she would never have imagined that the cultivation the cunning old fox was referring to, was actually asking her to conceive and bear a child, in order to pass on the pure water essence of the Five Elements through secret techniques."
When she finally found out, everything had already been settled. Taking advantage of Old Lu's unconsciousness, the cunning old fox extracted his Yang essence and infused it into Sister Ruoshui's body. By catalyzing it with a living aura, the pregnancy became stabilized.
“可恶！”唐元握紧拳头，脸上青筋乍起，“我去撕了那老狐狸！”
“给我回来！”叶梵脸色一板，呵斥道：“你是想叫若水妹子的牺牲全部白费吗？如此冲动！你有考虑过若水妹子和老陆吗？”
唐元听言，茫然错愕的惊愣在原地，一时显得有些无措。
叶梵继续道：“老陆对此现在还是不知情的状态，你要是捅破传扬了出去，你叫他如何面对这茬子事情？今后又要以什么样的身份去面对若水？若是承担起这份责任来，叫云姑娘又该如何自处？”
唐元沉着脸：“所以你就自作主张的撒谎欺骗我们说若水妹子闭关了？怎可如此胡来？”
“她虽说遭人坑骗，但既有了身孕，定然诸多不便，我们又岂能这样离去？她该有多么孤单无助？再者说，老陆于这血脉也该有着知情的权利，如何能蒙骗掩盖于他？”
Yè Fàn sighed and said, "I have also thought about it this way, but as for Shuǐ Mèizi... sigh, to be honest with you, this arrangement was her tearfully begging me to do so. She actually had a complicated and inexplicable affection for Lǎo Lù, and when faced with the deceit of the Tiān Yǔ clan and knowing that everything had already been decided, she chose to accept it and didn't reject this idea in her heart."
Tang Yuan listened and was deeply shocked, for a moment not knowing what to say, standing still in a daze.
Ye Fan further consoled, "Although I agreed to Ruo Shui's plea to keep it a secret, I didn't plan to deceive Lao Lu forever. The main issue is that this news came suddenly, and I couldn't think of a better way to help him cope."
“这几日，我想了很多，打算着等离开这里后，寻一个合适的时机，慢慢开导开导老陆的性子，再借机告诉他这般消息；你也知道，就老陆对云姑娘的那份忠贞，现在告诉他，无疑是让他徒增愧疚，无地自容，所以，就让我来当这个恶人好了。”
"What are your plans?" Tang Yuan, after calming down, also realized the complexity of the situation. It indeed cannot be approached hastily and recklessly.
Ye Fan thought for a moment and said, "Since Lao Lu has agreed to return to the tribe after three years, we should take this time to instill in him the idea that it is normal for a man to have multiple wives and concubines. At the same time, we should also work on Yun's persuasion so that she can understand and accept it, and not exclude Ruoshui in the future. It would be best if they can live harmoniously and happily together."
唐元无语：“那是你同你自己那些女人之间的相处之道，总归有着男人一生仅心系一人的，别把老陆想得和你一样。”
叶梵见说不通，涌上一阵火气，“行，我也不和你白扯，你要不愿迎合着我，现在就可以去告诉他这档子事情，然后看他怎么自处，看云姑娘会不会伤心离开他？看看若水妹子能不能接受得了被老陆知晓后的事情，会不会因此感到负罪而自裁？你去，你尽管去，我不拦你！”
唐元被叶梵急切的一通说教，震慑得懵在原地，久久才回过神来，猛地抽了自己一个耳掴子，“他娘的，这真不是人干的事情！”
“你说我今儿个来找你这厮做什么，纯粹给自己添堵！”
这一刻的唐元，真想自己不知道这个消息，那也就不用这么犹豫纠结了。
叶梵邪邪笑了一声，拍着唐元肩膀宽慰道：“知道也好，就我一个人憋着这事，多少有些内疚，闷得慌；待回头，咱们一起开导老陆，也好有个照应……可别忘了，老陆体内还封禁着极乐百日散这等恐怖的邪毒，要是咱们开导成功了，那他活下去的希望也就能更大一些。”
Tang Yuan listened and finally compromised.
However, there was always a slight discomfort in his heart.
