14 Realization

When Noah appeared in the courtyard, Xia Qingyue did not react that much, she only showed a slight look of surprise. She was already used to the unusual power of Noah of appearing almost anywhere.

Xia Qingyue looked at the handsome youth and noticed the slight difference in his aura. It seems he has gotten stronger, those were the thoughts that crisscrossed her mind.

The chasm between them seemed to be getting bigger and bigger each moment. But what else could she do, although she had already completed her breakthrough by directly jumping to the Second Level of the Spirit Profound Realm, it did not mean anything to a being like him. Such an achievement would have probably caused waves only in the Floating Cloud City or maybe in the Major Sects.

Xia Qingyue halted those train of thoughts as she remembered the promise that Noah had indulged her in. She had truly anticipated the day he would emerge from his seclusion. She had a feeling that whatever Noah had in store for her, would be of utmost importance and value.

Noah looked at the perfect figure of Xia Qingyue who stood unperturbed as she gazed at the colorful display of exotic flowers in the garden. She seemed to have transcended the mortal world and her aura seemed untouchable.

He then proceeded to materialize a big golden chair that could accommodate a maximum of four people and finally sat down in silence.

Before he could formulate a string of words, Xia Qingyue beat him to it.

"Congratulations on your advancement! It seems you have grown stronger than your previous self. I can feel your aura has changed and now is more tyrannical. I can't even imagine the level you are at, right now. " Her voice was mellow and soothing to the ears of mortal men even with her less emotional tone.

"It isn't a big deal. Nonetheless thank you. You should start getting used to it hahaha!' Noah replied jokingly. What he said was true since soon enough, he would probably be entering short sessions of seclusion to increase his strength.

Anyway, he didn't come into the courtyard to gloat over his achievements.

"Congratulations by the way on breaking through to the second level of the Spirit Profound Realm. Your talent is truly worth envy." Noah spoke truthfully.

Xia Qingyue's talent could be said to be top-notch due to various factors surrounding her that she currently didn't know of.

She possesses the extremely rare Nine Profound Exquisite Body and an unawakened Heart of Glazed Glass. She was born with those Heaven-defying perks due to the nature of her mother Yue Wugou's Divine Stainless Body. Her talent was truly unmatched under the heavens.

Noah already knew all the details about her. Her fate as a Destiny vessel to support Yun Che. All of this was perpetrated by the Ancestral Goddess. She was brought into existence for a common goal. Nothing else. Anyway, what else could she have done against her Creator?

Such fate of being weak and only to be controlled by the whims of the strong. Noah promised himself that soon he would deal with the Creator of the Primal Chaos Dimension. But to achieve any confrontation with her, he would need sufficient strength enough to deter the Overlord of the Primal Chaos Dimension.

This also led him to remind himself to tone down his earlier show of arrogance since arriving in the New World. He scolded himself for treating everything to be under his control. He may know almost all the important places and characters but some information may come as new as in his previous life the novel wasn't completed. For example, what existed outside the Primal Chaos Dimension?

Noah also realized how had treated Xia Qingyue as a collectible treasure. He had just met her for the first time and his teenage hormones were all over her. He hadn't treated her with the respect a woman should be given. Free choice of her own. Wasn't he just behaving the same way as the Ancestral Goddess? It was not a lie to say he had already behaved hypocritically.

He needed to change himself for the better. He was no longer on Earth but in a world of mysteries and powers beyond imagination.

"Tch! Says the one who breaks through realms as if he was taking a walk in the park," Xia Qingyue retorted in dissatisfaction but Noah ignored her unhappy expression. Only he knew how her talent was terrifying.

"Xia Qingyue, come and sit here with me. We have some issues to discuss." Noah wanted some confirmation from Xia Qingyue herself on the marriage details they talked about with her father, Xia Hongyi. He realized he had earlier imposed unnecessary superiority on the duo of father and daughter.

With pure elegance, Xia Qingyue abided and sat some distance away from Noah. She also wanted to know what had made the man sitting on the same chair as her, suddenly have a serious face.

"Xia Qingyue, do you want to continue with your Father's marriage arrangement with the Xiao Clan or rescind it?" He asked slowly as all of his concentration was on the fairy dressed in a lovely blue dress.

Xia Qingyue was rendered speechless. She did not expect such a question from him. It was now that she remembered how he had previously acted and talked overbearingly when they had once met and this continued until they met her father to talk about the betrothal with the Xiao Clan.' Is he trying to consider my feelings now?' Xia Qingyue thought as a warm feeling spread in her heart. At least he now values her opinions. Previously she had been dissatisfied with his behavior but because of his overwhelming strength, she didn't voice her thoughts for fear of angering him.

"To fulfill my father's wish to his dead friend and also my savior when I was young, I would go on with the marriage. But if there is a way out to cancel the marriage and compensate both parties, then I will gladly not marry young master Xiao Che from the Xiao Clan. " She replied while looking at Noah.

Noah was satisfied with her answer but he had already prepared another question.

"Would you want to be with me then?"

Xia Qingyue couldn't help but blush on hearing his question. Her blood boiled and she could feel the intensity at which her heart beat erratically. Various pictures of them together accidentally popped up in her mind but she shook her head to refrain from such distracting thoughts.

Who wouldn't want to be with a powerful and extremely attractive man? Xia Qingyue needed someone like that and also someone who would treat her like an equal. At first, when they had just met she had already registered Noah as a jerk but seeing him being reasonable at the moment she decided to give him a chance.

"Yeah I would but only if you treat me well," She looked intensely at the masculine figure sitting beside her, just an arm's length from each other.

"Thanks for your honest answer." Noah heaved a sigh of relief at least the relationship between them would not seem forced.

He was already satisfied with the outcome of the situation. Luckily, his previous stupid actions did not make the beauty resent him.

" I will now start fulfilling my promise. " Noah didn't want to waste more time than necessary. " Bring me your hands."

Xia Qingyue wondered what Noah was going to do.

As if hearing her thoughts, Noah clarified what he was going to do.

"I am going to open all of your Profound entrances. All Fifty-four of them."

Xia Qingyue was stupefied by such a declaration. Remember her cultivation speed was faster compared to other young talents but that was with only a few of the entrances opened. Then what would happen when all of them were opened up? Wouldn't her cultivation speed increase by leaps and bounds?

Noah touched her hands which seemed cold yet soft to the touch. He channeled a little bit of his primordial energy to clear all her profound entrances which were easily done.

The concentration of profound energy increased around Xia Qingyue as she felt the rate at which she absorbed the profound energy was boosted significantly. She felt like breaking through would not be a problem anymore.

"What you have gained are a new pair of profound veins called the Heavenly God Profound Veins. The best set of veins for cultivation in the whole Primal Chaos Dimension." Noah explained while thinking about his veins that were different and more powerful to an exaggerated degree.

Xia Qingyue was naturally exhilarated by the discovery. Noah had granted her something valuable even though it was just a simple gesture from him.

Her feelings for him grew once more.

"Thank you, Noah." Xia Qingyue looked at Noah, her voice filled with immense gratitude.

"No problem. Remember what I said that I will take care of you and also it is part of our deal." His reply was carefree.

Noah had finally helped Xia Qingyue in gaining the Heavenly God Spiritual Veins and now it was time to prepare some delicacies.

"Xia Qingyue have you ever eaten some high-quality spiritual meat."

"Yeah. My Father usually brings them to be cooked and prepared by the servants."

"I am asking about an Emperor Profound Dragon meat."

"A...what???" Xia Qingyue stuttered in shock, her cute mouth slightly opened. She wondered what she had just heard.
