Chapter 1915

~8 min read 1,429 words

You!

Xiao Feng was almost angered to death by her.

Borrow Qi Luck?

Is it necessary to be so distant?

Her stubbornness and obstinacy, not wanting to have too deep a relationship with him again, made Xiao Feng feel very uncomfortable.

But he couldn't bring himself to scold her.

He could only reply: "Fine, borrowed is borrowed; you figure out how to slowly pay it back later!"

……

Xun Shuang Xianzi furrowed her brows slightly, probably feeling that her words were a bit inappropriate and hurtful. Yet, having said them, she didn't want to take them back, so she simply remained silent.

"Go back." Xiao Feng said again.

Xun Shuang didn't speak, silently rose, and stepped on the leaves walking back.

She couldn't use any magic power now, yet she could sit on the leaves solely because the leaves of the World Ancient Tree are extraordinarily tough—blades hardly harm them, water and fire cannot invade, and they are more stable than flat ground, so returning was also done on foot.

Xiao Feng followed behind her.

Xun Shuang Xianzi looked a bit clumsy today.

Unable to fly, she was no longer a fairy maiden. She walked across vast leaves, arriving at a step-like place where jumping was inconvenient, so she could only sit on the ground, lowering one foot then the other.

Seeing her resemble an ordinary mortal woman, Xiao Feng didn't know what he felt.

This place is over eighty kilometers above the ground; if one carelessly loses footing and falls, even a god-king's body would suffer terribly.

Although there are many strong ones on the tree, it's impossible to really let her fall, but he is just a bit unhappy now.

"Even like this, still climbing that high..."

He quickly stepped forward, grabbed Xun Shuang Xianzi into his arms, lightly floated down, and with a few flashes arrived at his own doorstep.

Just as he steadied himself, Xun Shuang Xianzi

She broke free from him, afraid of being seen by the others at home, quickly walked inside, not wanting to walk with him.

…… Xiao Feng rubbed his chest, feeling stifled.

Everything Xun Shuang does now, every word she says, makes him feel uneasy.

It's not because she has any problem.

But her behavior makes him feel bad about himself, to the point he can't even make her smile or accept himself.

"Sigh, why has it become like this..."

It was better before.

Too bad, we can't go back.

Actually, speaking honestly, he never thought about having any kind of intimate relationship with Xun Shuang; the feeling of being friends is the most comfortable—you can talk about anything, discuss the Dao, and practice skills together.

Rather than now, where moving forward is no good, stepping back is no good, unwilling to just be ordinary friends, yet afraid that getting too close would upset her, leaving him stuck in an extremely awkward situation.

He also considered being more forceful, regardless of whether Xun Shuang liked it, forcing her to accept him.

But he also knows Xun Shuang is different from others; she is very stubborn and obstinate, and if he is too forceful, he might only make things worse, hurting her even more.

"Sigh, let it be destroyed." Really exhausting.

Xiao Feng really wants to grab a certain Dao ancestor and give him a beating to vent his dissatisfaction!

It's a pity, there's no such opportunity.

He walked back home; Xun Shuang had already gone upstairs, each step leaving a string of ice blossoms, making the air cold as well.

The ladies at home saw the two of them returning one after another, all looking curiously, imagining what had happened between them.

But Xiao Feng didn't want to say a word; he returned home and sat down in the ground-floor magic array, entering cultivation.

cultivation state.

Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what to say for a moment.

After cultivating for a while, Xiao Feng suddenly stood up again.

He can multitask; cultivating while moving about is not particularly difficult.

Under the curious gazes of everyone, he rose and went upstairs.

Seeing this, Dun Dun immediately showed an excited expression.

"He's going to charge, he's going to charge!"

In the team channel with only four people, Dun Dun shouted excitedly.

"What's charging?" At that moment, Qing Feng Yan Yu was outside handling guild affairs, not at home, and upon hearing this, voiced a questioning sound.

"Senior went upstairs! He usually hums with us while cultivating; this time going upstairs surely means he wants to make a move on Xun Shuang!" Dun Dun said.

Xing Yun Miao helplessly said: "Little loli, can't you stop thinking about lewd things all day? Xun Shuang in that state, Xiao Feng definitely won't touch her."

"Yeah, Xiao Feng big brother isn't that kind of person; probably he went to heal Xun Shuang Xianzi's injuries." Jiang Ning also said.

"Is that so?" Dun Dun said in a disappointed tone.

They didn't dare use Divine Sense to spy on the upstairs situation, because whether Xun Shuang or Xiao Feng, their Divine Sense is stronger than theirs and would be detected.

So they could only prick up their ears, hoping there was no soundproof barrier upstairs, so they could hear some movement.

In fact, there indeed was no soundproof barrier.

Because there was completely no need for it!

Xiao Feng went upstairs and saw Xun Shuang Xianzi sitting on a naturally formed wooden bed inside the divine tree, with a layer of ice formed around her.

She appeared to be cultivating, but actually no magic power was flowing; only coldness was moving about.

"Are you cold?" Xiao Feng asked.

Xun Shuang remained silent, neither affirming nor denying.

Okay.

Xiao Feng also didn't speak, silently walked up and sat down behind her.

Then he activated the power of the law, a golden crow pattern appeared behind him, a gentle warmth passed through his hands and transmitted into her body.

Xun Shuang Xianzi's body was initially tense, a little nervous.

But after a while, seeing that he had no other actions, she relaxed.

The cold injury from the Qi Luck Ice Box requires at least one or two years to fully heal; this chill will continually torment her.

Although she didn't say it, her body was in great pain; only her strong will allowed her to endure it.

Xiao Feng had experienced the feeling of being frozen in the Eternal Freeze Prison, so he could roughly guess her situation, which is why he came up specially to help her dispel the chill.

The cultivation period was twelve hours; he also sat behind Xun Shuang for twelve hours.

Xun Shuang Xianzi remained motionless; she didn't need to sleep, just sitting there quietly enjoying the nourishment of the True Fire of the Sun law.

After twelve hours, Xiao Feng ended his cultivation, but did not end his care for her.

Xiao Feng said to her: "These days I stay at home and don't go out; if you feel cold, come find me. In a few days I have to attend to official business, so I may only be home half the time each day. When I'm not around, you'll have to think of other solutions…… You could look for Qing Feng Yanyu; she also possesses fire-type power."

Xun Shuang gave a slight nod to show understanding, without saying more.

Xiao Feng sighed and said to her: "Here with me, you don't need to pretend to be strong, nor treat me as an enemy."

"I haven't." Xun Shuang immediately denied.

"Really?" Xiao Feng didn't believe.

But he didn't say more; he could only give her time.

Want to go out for a walk

"?" he asked.

Xun Shuang thought for a moment, nodded, then broke free from his warm power and rose on her own.

Having sat for over ten hours, it was time to move a bit.

Just……

Just after leaving Xiao Feng by less than three meters, her body surface began to emit cold air, about to condense frost.

Xun Shuang couldn't help but shiver.

Seeing this, Xiao Feng stepped forward, took her hand, and continued to transmit warmth to her.

"I'll take you to visit the other master here." Xiao Feng suggested, pulling her downstairs together.

Xun Shuang struggled a bit, wanting to shake him off, but now she had no spiritual power to resist.

"You… you don't do this." She whispered, already at the stairwell, afraid the woman downstairs would see and it would be bad.

"I'm just helping you dispel the chill." Xiao Feng said solemnly.
