«．．．☾ ．．．»

Most of the evening's time, Fang Yuan used to consolidate his relationship with Xiao Lingxi. They dined and spent time together. Fang Yuan led Xiao Lingxi in training harder and taught the young girl one of the sword techniques he received from Brother Ox.

As time passed, her feelings for Fang Yuan blossomed, getting to know him and sensing how much he cared about her since the young man didn't ever beat around the bush. His presence completely changed her life. At first, she started practicing Profound Arts to protect her crippled nephew, but slowly Fang Yuan managed to point her to another path.

Today, as they were training, Fang Yuan had a smile on his face, thinking back to her growth that started many months before.

«．．．☾ ．．．»

"Xi'er, you need to become strong because if you care about something or someone, you should be strong enough to protect."

At the same time, the young man caressed her smooth, perfect face, staring directly into her eyes.

"But strength isn't all you need. See your father's predicament in the Xiao Clan."

Xiao Lingxi, hearing him, couldn't help but smile wryly. Even if her father was the strongest in the city, he was constantly under the pressure of his clansmen. So he didn't even think to compete for the clan's leadership.

'What did father miss, maybe...'

Fang Yuan let the young girl think by herself for a moment before starting to talk again.

"Well, if you have absolute strength, you could solve anything. However, it isn't easy to obtain, but to protect anyone you care about and reach the apex, my Xi'er, what you need the most is... Resolve."

Xiao Lingxi's eyes flashed with understanding and adoration toward Fang Yuan.

'If father had the resolution to deal with the clansmen to protect us, who could have ever stopped him? The Xiao Sect? No, they wouldn't have wasted time with our little clan's internal dispute.' At the same time, Fang Yuan's aura started to change and grow more awe-inspiring as his domineering tone gradually began to be dyed in killing intent.

"To protect those you care for, like your father and me, you must have the resolution to reach your purpose, even if you will have to kill over and over again until mountains of corpses will be formed through your doing."

Fang Yuan had intentionally omitted to mention her nephew, but she hadn't even noticed. Instead, Xiao Lingxi's attention was entirely on his words, at which she couldn't help but gulp as she was somewhat blocked on the spot.

"To achieve your desire, you ultimately need strength, since that could not be possible if you are weak, and to obtain it. Therefore, you need the resolve." Since then, her entire personality started to change. The naivety that characterized her began to wane.

Xiao Lingxi wasn't like her novel counterpart anymore. She demanded Fang Yuan pointers and finely cultivated them.

She won't be a damsel in distress that would wait for a white knight to save her.

«．．．☾ ．．．»

Returning from his reverie, Fang Yuan went toward the young girl and patted her head.

"Well done Xi'er, you have achieved a minor understanding of the Kun Peng's Six Variants." The technique mentioned above was obviously passed down to him by Brother Ox. The Six Variants were derived from the six fundamental movements of the legendary bird fish fusion Kun Peng. At present, Xiao Lingxi's minor success in such a short time was something ridiculous since it was possible only to someone with profound comprehension.

'Well, it seems like Xi'er's connection with the Ancestral God isn't for show.'

Xiao Lingxi changed a lot in the last nine months. She matured a lot, not only mentally but also physically.

As they were alone, she was only wearing a top and some skimpy shorts that let Fang Yuan's eyes feast on her fully developed curves.

Xiao Lingxi's bosom grew more prominent, moreover thanks to the young man's train regime, she gained toned abs, her bottom became plumper, and her legs became thicker and succulent, enhancing her 'absolute territory'. Ogling at her, Fang Yuan couldn't help but think about a specific thing from his past life.

'Oh, is this the thicc tomboy gf of the legends?'

As the young man was having such thoughts, Xiao Lingxi, feeling his gaze, tried to maintain a nonchalant attitude, but her lovely face flushed red as a proud smile crossed it.

"It's no big deal, Yuan'er... I know I can do better!"

Her behavior amused Fang Yuan, who couldn't help but chuckle. He hugged Xiao Lingxi tightly and stroked her shoulder-length hair as her head rested on his broad chest.

"I know, I know, my Xi'er nowadays, strives to reach the apex, doesn't she?" That broke the young lady's attempt to keep her confident facade. Her face became thoroughly red. She quickly tried not to show it by hiding her face in his chest, an action at which the young man smiled. She was over the moon. Even with such a simple act, Fang Yuan could make her feel wanted and appreciated.

In the future, if it weren't for Fang Yuan, she would have been pushed to develop a romantic feeling for Yun Che.

But currently, not as dense as before figuring out her feelings, Xiao Lingxi understood what she felt about Fang Yuan.

'There's no doubt. This is l-love...'

«．．．☾ ．．．»

Usually, during the rest of their time together, Fang Yuan recited poems or told Xiao Lingxi stories.

He even showed the young girl his painting skills.

While he did read a lot in his former life, plagiarizing great literary works doesn't seem anything strange for him.

Originally, proposing to paint was a random idea the young man had. Later on, however, during his first attempt, he immediately demonstrated painting skills at the level of Van Gogh and Da Vinci.

'How is it possible?'

Fang Yuan was sure that he had never painted, and he couldn't pinpoint how he had done this.

At the moment, he was in Xiao Lingxi's compound, and in front of him was the easel, he was currently painting his last masterpiece.

It was a landscape of a place he had never seen before in this life nor in his past one, and there was an enchanting woman, with long deep cherry brown hair. She possessed beauty that shouldn't exist. The current Xiao Lingxi or Xia Qingyue couldn't be counted as her par.

'Why am I having this feeling of déjà vu?'

Fang Yuan had his eyes narrowed in contemplation.

Since his "awakening", he felt such sensation on many occasions but seeing this woman made the feeling more evident.

'Who are you?'

As a result, he began to meditate about the last months, pondering on the information he has in his possession.

'Once could be a chance, twice a coincidence, but thrice…

Brother Ox did tell me that my soul is abnormal.'

A shocking hypothesis arose in his mind.

'There's a great chance that… This isn't my first reincarnation.'

Then, as he was connecting the dots, a charming voice interrupted his train of thoughts.

"Yuan'er, you are training in drawing beauties, so you'll be able to draw me, aren't you?"

'This girl…' Her interruption left the young man somewhat annoyed.

"I asked you for a portrait too many times, pretty pleaseee!"

But as Fang Yuan directed his gaze toward her, that feeling instantly subsided. The latter was staring at him with puppy eyes as she put her arms under her breast, exposing her cleavage.

Xiao Lingxi was wearing a long green autumn dress that couldn't hide her curves. At first, Fang Yuan didn't avert his eyes to her curves but slowly close them as he had to concentrate to the utmost not to pin her down and fuck her senseless.

'Good grief, this Demonic Body of mine… Fortunately, I'm about to reach the 1st level of the [Soul Demon's Reverend Insanity], and I'll soon take control of my constant "cravings".'

"Uhm? So, will you make a portrait of me?"

Not knowing the young man's thoughts and having dodged a bullet, Xiao Lingxi asked again. As Fang Yuan painted, the young lady, needless to say, was captured straight away by his artistic skills, and in recent weeks she insistently demanded a portrait.

"I will do anything for it!"

Fang Yuan gazed at her, teasing.

"Oh? Anything? Interesting."

"Yes! Whatever you—HUH?! B-But, but that's not what I—"

As she answered, Xiao Lingxi understood what the young man was about; therefore, her face instantly reddened as she tried to explain to him. How could Fang Yuan let this opportunity to tease her slip away?

"No buts, hehehe. We can go into your bedroom and start by taking off a piece of clothing." The young lady was stunned, and she couldn't help fidgeting.

"I-I... We have to wait for the marriage!"

The young man sneered at her in response.

"What a perverted mind you have, little girl. I suggested going there to do the portrait, not to do it to you."

Realizing how she was led to misunderstanding the situation, she ran into her chamber wearing a gorgeous pout.

"Follow me!"

Fang Yuan smirked. He transferred the easel to his Purple spatial ring before putting his hand on the back of his head and slowly followed her.

'What a man has to do to seize power and gain immortality, ah.'

This thought of his was a little insincere as with the passage of time and the demonic influence of his cultivation technique, he was more and more pleased by his current predicament, conquering beauties to gain power.

If someone had heard him lament, they would have coughed up blood.

Once he entered her room, his gaze instantly locked on the young girl.

Xiao Lingxi was barefooted on her bed. She was wearing only a delicate nightgown that attractively adhered to her generous curves. Her toned legs grew out of it in a mesmerizing fashion.

With one of her hands, she teasingly grasped the hem of her nightgown.

"Welp, color me impressed."

Fang Yuan tried to keep a cool head by biting his tongue and maintaining a straight face.

However, he arrived to keep only one of his two heads cool since a huge tent rose on his lower body.

'The hell, this damned teenager Demonic Body...'

Xiao Lingxi was staring at him smugly, stubborn as she is. The young girl wanted to get her way.

'Hehehe, now who is teasing who?' She gloated until her gaze dwelled on Fang Yuan's lower body, specifically on the outline of his shaft that was growing more and more dominating.

Her smugness disappeared and was replaced by shock.

'HUH?!'

She rapidly covered her eyes with her hands, but she continued to stare at his lower body through the gaps between her fingers. The young girl only wanted to tease him, but the situation escalated quickly without her control.

The Xiao Clan's maids have taught her about the opposite sex, but they never told her that a man thing could be so huge.

'W-Why is his rod so big?!?'

At the same time, Fang Yuan was eying the girl as a wolf will with a succulent lamb. Seeing where the situation was going, he was indeed tempted. As his demonic instinct was about to take over the better of him, he suddenly felt a gaze on his back. He shook his head, smiling wryly, and his tent instantly wore off.

"Youngsters, it seems like you entered the springtime of youth, huh?"

The young man turned his head and saw an old man strolling toward him. Xiao Lingxi searched rapidly for the dress she was wearing before putting on a decent dress to hide her sexy nightgown and ran to her room.

"Greetings, Father-In-Law."

Xiao Lie cupped his hands in Fang Yuan's direction and then gazed into his daughter's room, where the young lady, now with a proper dress, was pretending to read a book.

"Clan Master, we have to discuss today's mining recap.

We are about to finish the extraction. Elder Hongyi is waiting for us in his manor."

As Xiao Lie, Ying Wu, and Xia Hongyi took the role of elders in his new clan, more or less every day, they reunite to take a look at the Purple Mine's situation. So far, they have mined forty-eight kilograms.

"I understand Father-In-Law, I just need to handle a thing here, and I'll catch up to you in some minutes."

Xiao Lie understood since he arrived that something was going on between them. However, since the pair were engaged and the old man trusts the young man, he didn't pry. Instead, he nodded at Fang Yuan and flickered toward the Xia manor. Seeing the old man depart, Fang Yuan returned his gaze to Xiao Lingxi as he entered her room.

Xiao Lingxi was still sitting on her bed pretending to read while she listened to their exchanges. Then, seeing him entering and remembering their previous situation, she blushed.

She was about to tell him that she didn't mean to tease him like that, but in a blink of an eye, Fang Yuan's face was a few centimeters from hers.

'Huh? What he is—'

Without warning, the young man sealed her alluring lips with his.

It was then that Xiao Lingxi short-circuited.

'*@&%?!'

Fang Yuan kissed her softly at first, and then with a swift gradation of intensity, he skillfully went through her lips with his tongue meeting hers.

That made the young girl stand up and cling to him as a newly built boner pressed against her nether region. As she was lost in this novel sensation, his manhood made her think it was the only solid thing in a dizzy swaying world.

Then Fang Yuan felt moist on his cock. He slowly detached his lips from hers, as a string of saliva kept for a few seconds a connection between them.

He gazed at the young girl's enamored expression, then approached her right ear, softly biting it, and lastly whispered.

"Oh, it seems like someone is already very wet… What a naughty girl I have, hehe."

Xiao Lingxi didn't even have time to answer that. Her partner tongue resumed to collide with hers, and it felt like heaven meets earth. In addition, Fang Yuan lifted the hem of her dress and started to grind his massive rod on her wet flower.

This action made Xiao Lingxi's charming eyes wide open as their tongues went on dancing. There was just a thin fabric separating his hard shaft and her soaked pussy. She felt overpowered by his domineering approach.

'How it could be so good…?!' They told her that kissing was only the action to seal their partner's lips and that sex consisted only of one position, the missionary one.

Seeing delight and surprise in her eyes, Fang Yuan guessed that there was another reason, not counting that it was her first time.

'Seems like French kisses aren't a thing in this world, even preliminary I don't think are common as many other sexual aspects. I kind of pity all the unsatisfied women of this universe.'

He then resumed even with more intensity to kiss and grind on her as he took hold of her plump and bountiful ass.

"Mmmm~!♥"Xiao Lingxi could only let soft moans of despair as she didn't know what was happening, subconsciously the young girl started to hump him. Not long after, she felt a strange feeling building up from her lower body.

Her nipples became hard as they pressed against Fang Yuan's muscular chest. Her legs started to twitch out of control as the young man's massive shaft rubbed against her pussy.

"Y-Yuan'er s-something is coming!!"

It was then the young man distanced his lower body from hers, and as they continued to kiss, he began to massage her clit faster and faster. His partner couldn't hold on much against his "attack", and she was finished off.

"Aaaaaah~!♥"

Xiao Lingxi cummed so hard that her eyes rolled back, and drooling began to fall from her sweet mouth. The young girl was feeling the first orgasm she has ever had, being she had never played with herself. Her body was in continuous spasm, and her mind went numb as a liquid rich in Yin energy started to descend all along her succulent legs.

Having one of his hands inside her thighs, Fang Yuan scooped some of the bewitching juice and tasted it. After that, he laid the girl on the bed.

"You taste sweet, you know?"

Xiao Lingxi twitched after hearing him. She could hardly speak as her breath was frantic.

"Y-You... You bullied me..." She was pleased about what happened but also a little angry that her "plan" backfired.

"Now you know who is in charge, my Xi'er."

Fang Yuan answered and then laughed as he covered her with a blanket and then walked out.

"Next time, if you want to invite me to draw you, tell me something like "Paint me as your Realm of God's girls", I'm sure it will be to your liking as today."

Naturally, the young girl didn't catch the quote and soon fell asleep exhausted, while the young man headed to the clan reunion.

«．．．☾ ．．．»

Xiao Lingxi's virgin yin water had somewhat released the burden of his demonic body. Once at the Xia manor, he was welcomed by a steward, who escorted him to Xia Hongyi's office.

There, his clan elders waited for him. They talked about the Purple Crystal mine; in about a week, they will be done with the mining and regard their following movements.

"Elders, as I told you before, once the mine is cleared, we'll collapse it to remove any evidence." The trio nodded since it was something they thought of since the start.

"And in about three months, we'll relocate the Ancient Moon Clan from Floating Cloud City to Blue Wind Imperial City. I shall let you handle the process since I will enroll into the New Moon Palace."

The elders didn't see that coming, as they had no idea Fang Yuan wanted to move into the imperial city. The first to ask about clarification was uncle Wu.

"Clan Master, why would we have to move there?" Fang Yuan stood up from his seat. The present couldn't help but sweat coldly as his presence turned overwhelming, and walked to the window, his hands clasped behind his back.

He was like a celestial, gazing leisurely at the night sky, searching for something that could entertain him. His eyes seemed capable of seeing through the cycle of samsara and the secret of the Profound Way; nothing could escape them.

"We prevented a calamity from falling to this country, but why do you think it would have been happening?"

The elders exchanged glances, Uncle Wu was the first about to say his thoughts, yet he didn't have time to answer.

"Because it's weak. The Blue Wind Empire family doesn't deserve longer, so we'll take over this nation."
