Going to the Sunset Forest!

Xuan Yan walked upstairs and saw Tang Yueha sitting on the chair eagerly waiting for him. She is dressed in a plain blue dress that covers her entire body, and her blue hair is tied in a ponytail without any accessories.

Even in a simple outfit, her noble temperament does not diminish in the slightest. She looks simply beautiful.

Seeing Xuan Yan's arrival. a smile flowered on her face as she stood up "Master Yan!" she called with excitement etched in her voice.

Xuan Yan smiled softly "Miss Yueha is really gorgeous." he said walking towards her. She nodded gently with a chuckle "Thank you, Master Yan! You look great yourself"

"Haha, It seems like Miss Yueha is quite excited to get the first spirit ring!" Xuan Yan said with a mild chuckle as he can see the excitement in her eyes.

Her face flushed with a tinge of pink hearing this, for her age she is actually excited like a child. After all, this is her first spirit ring. It's always been her dream to get a Spirit ring and become a Spirit Master so she is quite exhilarated.

"Yes. Master Yan, actually...I am quite excited and nervous at the same time." Tang Yueha said as she saw Xuan Yan walking towards the balcony.

Tang Yuehua looked at him confusedly as he walked to the balcony. "You don't have to worry, Miss Yueha!" Xuan Yan said and gazed at the stunning array of flowers flourishing within the exquisite flower pots.

As he admired the delicate tulips and the alluring roses, Tang Yueha took small steps and reached near him.

His eyes fell on Orchids "Miss Yueha, you also love Orchids?". Tang Yueha was taken aback as she saw the same admiration for the Orchid in his serene eyes "Master Yan, you love them too?"

With a gentle smile, Xuan Yan carefully caressed the delicate orchid "Yeah, they may look plain and ordinary and do not have a special fragrance. But they are pure and not turbid. They look simply beautiful and I love them!"

Tang Yueha's eyes softened with tenderness as she looked at Xuan Yan admiring the orchids with a gentle smile. Anyone can love a rose, but it takes a lot to love a simple orchid. It is ordinary to love the beautiful, but it is beautiful to love the ordinary!

Looks and power do not faze her, that's why she even rejected Xue Ye and Ning Fengzhi who only want her for her beauty and her connection with Clear Sky Hammer Clan.

But now looking at Xuan Yan who is just so attractive and with his gentle and cool demeanor she can't help but feel a little sweet in her heart thinking of him. She is also a woman after all!

Xuan Yan suddenly turned his eyes to her. Seeing this, she snapped out of her reverie and coughed slightly, "*ahem* Master Yan, shall we go? I'll get the carriage ready."

Xuan Yan chuckled "Carriage? We can go by air!" he said and pointed at the sky.

Tang Yueha was startled "B-By air. you mean?"

"Yeah, where is the fun in going in a carriage? And it's Miss Yueha's first spirit ring so let's make it memorable..." he said and looked at her surprised and hesitating eyes.

Seeing her hesitation, Xuan Yan smiled faintly "Well, if Miss Yueha doesn't want to. I won't force it. We can go by carriage!"

Xuan Yan tried to walk away but Tang Yueha stopped him "W-Wait, we can go by air!" she has never flown in the sky and she want to know what it feels like.

Smiling Xuan Yan extended his right hand "I will take care of you!" he reassured.

She gazed into his pure eyes, she couldn't detect even a hint of malevolence. With a gentle nod of approval, she gracefully reached out her hand.

Tang Yueha's delicate fingers met his warm palm and he clasped her fingers. Her cheeks flustered red as she felt the gentle touch of his hand.

"Smooth as Jade!" Xuan Yan said and Tang Yueha chuckled hearing his compliments. "Shall we go? Miss Yueha?" Xuan Yan asked and Tang Yueha nodded "En."

Tang Yueha's fear intensified as they started to float in the air, causing her to anxiously clutch Xuan Yan's arm tightly. In response, Xuan Yan couldn't help but let out a playful giggle "Hold tighter!"

Tang Yueha quickly nodded and her grip on his right arm tightened as they continued levitating even higher in the air. Her eyes widened, even though it was kinda scary, there is a thrill in it that she never experienced in her life.

...

"Ahhh!" Tang Yueha looked down at the beautiful city in admiration and excitement. She can even see her Moon Pavilion. This is the first time she has flown up in the sky and the feeling is wonderful.

[People are like trash!] Xuan Yan suddenly heard Ciel's voice.

'Where did you learn that?' He asked.

[From Anime in your memories!] Ciel replied.

'Oh? You fully scanned my past life memories? Did you find something?'

[I scanned your memories many times and the thing I found is...]

'found is?'

[Nothing!!]

'Eh?'

[I just saw a boring film of an Average guy living his average life doing average things everyday.] Ciel replied solemnly.

'I already told you, right? There is nothing significant or special in my past life.' Xuan Yan sighed in his mind.

[You don't even got a girlfriend.]

'That's a canon event in my life.'

[Well, anyway I can't see any reason why a random Goddess would choose you and why is your soul so strong and can even manipulate chaos easily.]

'I guess all the answers lie with the Goddess. We can only wait!'

...

Xuan Yan shifted his gaze toward Tang Yueha, who was brimming with excitement. Feeling his gaze she turned around and nodded with a small smile.

With that, they soared through the air, Tang Yueha didn't feel any air pressure as she is protected by Xuan Yan's spirit power. She gaped in wonder and amusement at the vast expanse of the sky and the earth below.

The expansive sky was adorned with fluffy white clouds, and from her viewpoint, the people below resembled tiny ants moving on the ground.

...

They quickly reached the forest and slowly landed on the outer area. Tang Yueha looked around the dense green forest and retracted her hands from his arm.

"Stick close to me!" Xuan Yan said and moved forward. Tang Yueha nodded and walked beside him closely.

...

Walking deeper Tang Yueha looked at the lush greenery and the trees in awe. She saw some small spirit beasts running into the bushes.

"This is the periphery area, so there won't be any strong beasts. The beasts here should be around the age of 50 to some hundreds." Xuan Yan said looking around.

Tang Yueha gave a subtle nod. "As this is Miss Yueha's first ring you only need a yellow spirit ring of hundred years."

There are not many spirit beasts that cross ten thousand years in the Sunset forest. So this forest is filled with lower cultivation spirit beasts.

"For other Spirit Masters, it is easy to find their first spirit ring in this forest. But for you, it will be quite hard, Miss Yueha."

Tang Yueha was surprised. Why only her? "Why Master Yan?"

"Miss Yueha's martial spirit is mutated. So it will be difficult to find a spirit beast that is suitable for you."

Tang Yueha's mind became uneasy as she heard Xuan Yan's words. The thought of not obtaining a spirit ring that was suitable for her caused her heart to race with anxiety.

"But don't worry. We have to wait patiently and look through the whole forest." Xuan Yan said and Tang Yueha bowed slightly "I would like to ask Master Yan's help in this."

"Of course, I would help you. I promised you that I will help you get the spirit ring." Xuan Yan said. Tang Yueha smiled sweetly and nodded her head.

...

As they continued their journey, two long hours passed, during which they encountered many low-cultivation beasts but they are not suitable for Tang Yueha

"Agh!" suddenly Tang Yueha let out a painful groan and before she could fall Xuan Yan grabbed her waist "Miss Yueha, what happened?"

"M-My leg, I think it's sprained." she limped her left leg. Xuan Yan slowly embraced her and tenderly guided her to lean against a nearby tree.

Only then he realized and facepalmed himself. Tang Yueha is a level 10 spirit master so, of course, her stamina had been drained after walking continuously for two hours. As a noble lady, she was not accustomed to such strenuous situations, and now her leg was painfully cramped.

Tang Yueha's eyebrows wrinkled in discomfort as she felt the bitter pain in her leg. "Wait, Miss Yueha. I will take care of it!" Xuan Yan said and crouched down as he removed her shoe gently without alleviating her pain.

Tang Yueha was embarrassed and she blushed as Xuan Yan tenderly touched her exposed feet. However, she smiled as she observed the sincere care and concern on Xuan Yan's face.

Xuan Yan quickly noticed that Tang Yueha's ankle was swollen and began to use his skilled fingers to massage the affected area, easing her discomfort and pain.

Tang Yueha's eyes trembled, and she grabbed his shoulders, "M-Master Yan, slowly... it hurts."

Seeing this, Xuan Yan used a little bit of his life flame channeling its energy through his fingertips, and began to knead her injured ankle. Tang Yueha closed her eyes and took a deep breath as she felt revitalized by his warm massage.

As Xuan Yan continued massaging her ankle, Tang Yueha noticed small drops of sweat on his forehead. "Master Yan, you are sweating!" she said and took a white cloth from her storage ring.

She gently caressed his forehead with the soft white cloth, delicately wiping away the beads of sweat. Xuan Yan frowned. Sweating? My body?

No! He looked above at the somber grey clouds as drizzle raindrops fell on his face. Fuck, it's gonna rain heavily.

*thunder* Suddenly they heard a loud thunderous noise and it began to pour heavily. Tang Yueha's body jerked at the sudden thunder. "Miss Yueha, excuse me!"

Xuan Yan's actions caught Tang Yueha off guard as he suddenly grabbed her waist and lifted her up into a princess carry. "Eh?" Tang Yueha instinctively wrapped her arms around Xuan's neck for support.

Xuan Yan moved quickly in the rain and soon found a cave. They quickly entered inside to take refuge from the heavy rain.
