In the Mountain Forest (1)

The next day in the morning. 

After Little Xuefeng had her breakfast, Ye Fan and Fairy Xuan Xuefeng were both discussing on their next course of action in their room.

Fairy Xuan Xuefeng smiled coyly to Ye Fan, "You know, Ye Fan. You ought to consolidate your cultivation foundation in your Omnipotent Immortal Force first. Let's go to the cultivation guild in this city and we reserve ourselves a cultivation chamber."

Ye Fan began to stammer immediately, "Consolidate my Omnipotent Immortal Force? Surely, you don't mean…"

Fairy Xuan Xueqi looked at him shyly and nodded, "Yes, I mean that."

Ye Fan was startled and he was flustered immediately; actually, for the celestial-step Omnipotent Immortal Force, he needed to practice the dual cultivation in order to advance further. So, he couldn't just stop halfway and if he stopped the dual cultivation, then he couldn't advance further as there were at least 1000 big and small barriers for him to overcome. 

In short, he had to copulate with Fairy Xuan Xueqi at least 1000 times in order to fully master the celestial-step Omnipotent Immortal Force to a large degree. 

"Unless you want to be struck at the 5th realm cultivation forever, then you will not be able to gain the approval of my papa." Fairy Xuan Xueqi added further as she looked affectionately at him.

Ye Fan was flustered just by thinking about that night when they had copulated together; it wasn't something that he could forget easily.

But after a short hesitation, he said awkwardly. "Then we have no one to take care of Little Xuefeng during our absence. This won't do…"

Fairy Xuan Xueqi: …

Did I just got rejected by him?

Ye Fan inhaled heavily as he continued, "Also, I've promised to take Little Xuefeng to the forest to find her bunny today. Maybe we should go and take a little walk in the forest first. At the same time, I can also see if I am able to use the saint-step divine sword with my current profound strength."

Fairy Xuan Xueqi shied away as she was feeling a little awkward for suggesting to Ye Fan that they have their dual cultivation together and she was rejected by him. 

And so, they decided to take a little walk in the forest outside the mountainous free trading city of Anthryl.

Outside the free trading City of Anthryl, in the heavily forested mountains.

Little Xuefeng was alone as she walked in the forest; she had got lost from her parents and was wandering in the forest when she was chasing after a bunny.

She tried to steel her heart by singing, "Little bunnies are so cute, why eat them…" 

Little Xuefeng was actually with Ye Fan and Xuan Xuefeng when she got lost.

Ye Fan was attempting to lift the saint-step divine sword while Fairy Xuan Xueqi was giving him some guidance.

Little Xuefeng was a good girl as she watched them as she sat on top of a tree branch above them.

After an hour of swinging the saint-step divine sword, Ye Fan was sweating heavily and he still did not have any success. 

A saint-step divine sword was just too heavy for him to lift at this moment and he needed more profound strength.

Either he increased his cultivation realm or he could improve his Six Aura Swords and the Omnipotent Immortal Force to gain more profound strength.

Fairy Xuan Xueqi said tenderly to him, "It is alright. Sooner or later, you will be able to use this saint-step divine sword."

Ye Fan sighed heavily, "Xueqi, do you think that I will be able to win the approval of your father one day…"

Fairy Xuan Xueqi smiled, "I've told you already. You don't need the approval of my papa."

"No, Xueqi." Ye Fan said quietly. "I need to have his approval so that I can prove myself worthy to have you as my consort and dao cultivation partner. I want you…"

He paused for a while before continuing, "I also want to have your father's acceptance of us so that you will also have the dignity. In this way, we can both prove to your father that your choice is the right one…"

"Ye Fan…" Fairy Xueqi looked tenderly at him.

Ye Fan continued with a heavy sigh, "I understand your father as a man. He thinks that I am making use of you to increase my cultivation and that I am hiding a nefarious purpose. That is why he didn't want to approve of me…"

"You know…" Fairy Xueqi sighed softly. 

Ye Fan slowly nodded, "Yes, I know. Because I can see it in his eyes. Because of this, I am ashamed of myself as well. So, I need to prove myself worthy and that I can capable of finding my own strong path of cultivation."

Fairy Xueqi sighed, "Weak or strong. It doesn't matter to me. It is your character that impress me, not your cultivation."

Ye Fan laughed softly, "I don't think I have an outstanding character. I've thought of killing you and even stolen your profound pill."

The he sighed heavily, "Rather, I am the one that is impressed by you and you have saved my lives several times and have even guided me. If it isn't for you, there won't be me today."

"This, you are wrong." Fairy Xuan Xueqi smiled tenderly at him. "Without you all these years, I won't be alive."

Ye Fan shook his head, "If it wasn't for me in the first place, you won't jump into the Abyssal Chasm of Death."

Fairy Xuan Xueqi looked affectionately at Ye Fan as she said silently: Ye Fan, do you know that if you have not helped me to obtain that Nightingale Grass that day, my real body would not have completed the Nine Reincarnation Profound Art and I won't breakthrough to the 8th cultivation realm as a half-step Empyrean Saintess. It is all thanks to your courage that day, Ye Fan. You have no idea how valuable this Nightingale Grass is to me…

"Xueqi, are you there?" Ye Fan had suddenly interrupted her thoughts.

Fairy Xuan Xueqi smiled, "I am here."

Then she pulled him tenderly with her hands and tenderly pulled him to the bushes beyond this clearing.

"Xueqi, where are we going?"

"Not far. You will know very soon…"

"Xueqi, what is this?" 

"Ye Fan, you don't like my kiss?"

"But we are in the open…"

"There is no one around and Little Xuefeng won't know…"

Ye Fan and Fairy Xue Xueqi did not just kiss as they embraced each other; it was as though they were two long lost lovers as they began to caress each other intimately while kissing passionately. 

Soon, they were dropping their clothing...

Little Xuefeng had no idea why her Mama and Papa decided to go further away but she was already giggling with great delight as she hopped down the tree branch and decided to look for her bunnies, "Little bunnies are so cute, why eat them…"
