Chapter 1917

After that, for three days Xiao Feng hardly went out; he spent his cultivation time accompanying Xun Shuang, and after cultivating he still accompanied her.

Xun Shuang was annoyed; this man clung to her, refusing to leave, insisting on holding her hand every day under the pretense of warming her.

Actually, he was pursuing her! He wanted to subtly make her adapt, and incidentally announce their relationship to others.

But her refusals were useless; she couldn't shake him off, couldn't scold him away, pretending to be angry didn't help—he was like sticky candy.

Finally, with no other choice, she could only let him have his way, and silently told herself: I am single-mindedly devoted to the Dao, with no romantic feelings; Xiao Feng Daoist friend has a muddled mind, so I just ignore him.

After three days, Xiao Feng felt Xun Shuang's complexion had improved considerably, and she gradually adapted to living in the trees; daily she could greet Jiang Ning and others, exchange a few words, and thus initially accepted this place.

Moreover, the matter of the savage beasts' ancestral realm could not be delayed any longer, so he steeled himself and, for the first time in three days, loosened his grip on her hand.

"I'm going out; if nothing unexpected happens, I'll be back in twelve hours." He said to Xun Shuang, and also to the others.

All the women were at home; hearing this, Jiang Ning said: "Go ahead, the important matter comes first; we'll take care of Xun Shuang."

Qing Feng Yan Yu smiled and said: "Let me warm your Fairy Maiden!" Without waiting for Xiao Feng to leave, she ran over and grabbed Xun Shuang's other hand.

Just as Xiao Feng and Xun Shuang separated, a chill appeared.

Qing Feng Yan Yu touched her hand and involuntarily shivered: "Ah, how cold!"

She hurriedly circulated fire elemental power, wanting to bring warmth to Xun Shuang.

But it seemed to have little effect; instead, she herself grew so cold that her hairs stood on end.

They stood up.

Seeing this, Xiao Feng couldn't help but frown.

Xun Shuang gently pulled her hand from Qing Feng Yan Yu's, shook her head and said: "I'm fine; this bit of cold is nothing. Xiao Feng Daoist friend, you needn't worry about me—go attend to your business."

"This..."

Xiao Feng felt uneasy, immediately used Divine Sense to send a message, and found Yao Saint Fei Lian.

Fei Lian usually immersed herself in alchemy, but when faced with an important matter her response speed was still prompt.

Xiao Feng had a matter and asked for her help; she immediately set aside what she was doing and rushed over.

With Fei Lian's protection added, the chill on Xun Shuang's body lessened slightly.

But even Fei Lian and Qing Feng Yan Yu together were not half as effective as Xiao Feng.

Fei Lian's strength is strong, her understanding of laws deep, but she does not know Xun Shuang well enough to, like Xiao Feng, apply her power in the most meticulous way, permeating every part of Xun Shuang's body to dissolve her most icy spots.

Xun Shuang did not want to delay Xiao Feng, so she deliberately acted relaxed to let him leave.

Although Xiao Feng had concerns, he still had to go to the savage beasts' ancestral realm, and he left reluctantly.

Just as he stepped out, Xun Shuang flung away Fei Lian's and Qing Feng Yan Yu's hands, being very polite, even aloofly saying: "Thank you both; you may go about your business, I'm fine." She then turned and went upstairs.

Fei Lian frowned, and Qing Feng Yan Yu ran upstairs.

But shortly afterward she came down again and shook her head at the women.

Jiang Ning sighed: "It seems she still hasn't been able to accept us so quickly."

"Her personality is like this; we can't force it, so let's take it slow."

"We can only have the senior put in more effort."

……

Star Realm Mountain.

Xiao Feng appeared outside the alchemy building of the Hidden Mystic Venerable.

At this moment the door of the alchemy building was closed, but he still walked over, clasped his hands before the gate and said: "Hidden Mystic Venerable, thank you again for your miraculous pills; the people in my household have already awakened, I, Xiao Feng, owe you a favor—if you ever need anything, just say the word and I will surely go through fire and water without hesitation."

From behind the heavy door came the Hidden Mystic Venerable's tranquil, otherworldly voice: "It's a matter of fate; no thanks needed. When she recovers, come together here, and if you have anything to ask."

"Okay, certainly!" Xiao Feng promised.

The Hidden Mystic Venerable didn't specify what they two were to do here together, but since he said that, just agree to it.

If the other party had ill intent, they wouldn't need to give him the Nine-Revolution Returning Soul Pill at all.

Xiao Feng bade farewell and left, flying toward the mountain base.

The Snow Mountain Extreme Leopard arranged to meet him at "White Snow Cliff," which is near the mountain base.

Star Realm Mountain is vast, with many places—various cliffs, valleys, slopes, walls, forests, pools, etc. —all named by the ancestral gods themselves.

Those who can reside long-term on Star Realm Mountain are not ordinary beings; they must be strong and also maintain neutrality, not involve themselves in the conflicts of the major powers, nor cause trouble.

The Snow Mountain Extreme Leopard provoking Xiao Feng does not count as breaking neutrality, because Star Realm Mountain's rules apply only to NPC factions; if it were players opposing each other, the mountain would not intervene, otherwise it would have to expel many members.

Nowadays, Star Realm Mountain still has relatively few player visitors, because the place is remote and few know its exact location.

Still, a few hundred players of various races have come here before, but the area is too large to easily encounter them.

Xiao Feng flew in a straight line, very fast; not long after

he arrived at the mountain base area.

White Snow Cliff is a particularly prominent feature among Star Realm Mountain's varied terrains; elsewhere the scenery is clear mountains and pure waters, but here lies a hidden underground ice-attribute spirit vein, causing perpetual snowfall.

The Snow Mountain Extreme Leopard itself is a creature born in the snowy mountains, naturally fond of this place, and chose the seemingly "lower-status" mountain base area.

Those living near him are all God Kings, or even those who have not yet reached the God King Realm.

"Snow Mountain Extreme Leopard Daoist friend, I've come to keep our appointment." Xiao Feng arrived by floating over and spoke loudly.

Immediately a shadow leapt out from within the snowy mountain.

The Snow Mountain Extreme Leopard... is actually just a snow leopard, with strong concealment ability; on the snowy mountain, if you don't look closely you can't see it at all.

It came before Xiao Feng, slashed its foreclaw through the void, and threw the Xun Zong Jie Hui Shi over: "Here's your thing back; let's set off now."

"Okay, shall we go by teleportation gate or how?" Xiao Feng put away his pledged treasure and asked.

"Within Star Realm Mountain teleportation is impossible; only your kind of private Mi Jing passage can be opened." The Snow Mountain Extreme Leopard shook his head.

"So we leave Star Realm Mountain first, then teleport? Fine, let's set off now." Xiao Feng longed immensely for the savage beasts' ancestral realm.

As a result……

Snow Mountain Extreme Leopard however said: "Even if you go out, you can't teleport; I'll take you flying there, it's not far, just a little over three months."

"What? Fly there? Three months?" Xiao Feng hearing this, instantly became dazed.

What karma has he created?! Lately, everything is just rushing!!

Going to the War Ancient State, rushing for one month!

Going to the Void Sea, rushing for three months!

Going to the Wasteland Beast Clan Ancestral Realm, also need three months!

Might as well just change my name to "Xiao Paopao"!

"Alas, I

"Also no choice, the Venerable only needs to use Divine Sense to transmit messages, but we aren't Venerable." said the Snow Mountain Extreme Leopard helplessly, also comforting Xiao Feng: 'Just endure a bit; once we reach the ancestral realm, being killed a few times by the Kirin Beast God, the grudges will be settled.'

Xiao Feng's mouth corner twitched.

If only it were that simple.

However……

No way, we still have to go.

Coincidentally, lately he wants to take better care of Xun Shuang Xianzi, marching 12 hours a day, he won't be delayed by sudden events, which is also a good thing.
