When little Ming came back to her space, her face was still filled with hints of shock from what she learned a moment ago. The handsome man told her that Xuefeng's lover that followed him into this world, is currently waiting for him to come back from the Holy Land. When he showed her Tianshi's picture, she instantly recognized her from Xuefeng's memories.

"Should I tell him?... No... After he leaves, he will never come back… How about I tell him there is a surprise waiting for him back in his clan and he should come back to me later so I can tell him how did I know about it… No... he still doesn't know that he will be able to enter this world later on… Aaah, I need to think of something quickly…" Little Ming sat down next to the Wisdom Tree and hugged her knees thinking about different scenarios.

She was petite and looked really cute with a pink, bunny design hoodie that she wore like a dress. She had long white hair falling on her shoulders with two small ponytails on the sides. She saw Xuefeng make those for Yiren and wanted to try them on too. Ming liked how they swung around when she shook her head.

Compared to a pair of big round almond eyes, her tapered nose and thin lips looked really small. If not for her height, it would be easy for someone to mistake her for a child, especially with her childlike round face shape.

"Hmm, maybe I should check up on him... they might have already finished…" Little Ming lifted her face from her knees still not knowing what to do and suddenly thought of checking what Xuefeng was doing.

She pulled out a Water Qi leaf from her hoodie's pocket and threw it in front of her. A water screen grew up from the ground in front of her and soon a video started playing, featuring Xuefeng and Yiren.

"Aaah… Aaah… you can be rough… don't mind me…" Little Ming instantly regretted her decision as her pale face turned pink. Yiren's moans entered her ears as she forgot to mute the sounds. She covered her eyes, only looking from between her fingers as Xuefeng continued to ravage Yiren from behind slapping her butt from time to time.

"..." She wanted to look away or turn off the screen, but something was pushing her to continue watching. Looking at Yiren's ample peaks which swayed around each time Xuefeng waist rammed into her, Ming couldn't help but feel her flat chest and fell into her thoughts.

"Maybe Xuefeng will like me if I make them bigger…?" Ming thought out loud as she imagined herself in a different look while touching her chest.

...….

For the next few days, Xuefeng's daily schedule didn't change much. He was waking up every day with Yiren in his embrace, which usually caused them to end up in a cuddle battle for the whole morning.

Afterwards, Xuefeng was training with the Wisdom Tree for the whole day adding progressively to the difficulty. His Spirit Awareness was increasing its effectiveness with each battle as he was able to see movements of each opponent in a three hundred sixty degrees angle. Even when the number of his enemies increased to five, he was still able to skillfully manoeuvre in between them and kill his way through.

He knew that his fast progress was all thanks to Wisdom Tree's space, as he couldn't even count how many times he died during all those days of training. He could push himself to the limits without worrying about receiving a mortal wound and dying. It was the easiest method of figuring out different solutions for the hardest questions. Even if he died trying, he could always repeat by going back to the beginning and practising again until he will perfect it.

After his tiring training, Yiren would help him regain his stamina by giving him relaxing massage on the whole body. One day Xuefeng wanted to repay her by giving her one as well but he wasn't doing a great job causing them to switch back to their usual night activity.

After Yiren properly tasted the pleasures of love for the first time, she didn't want to stop. She was always the one to take the initiative asking for more. After their third night in Wisdom Tree's space, Yiren eagerly followed Xuefeng's ideas of dressing up into different costumes before roleplaying in bed.

One day Yiren was a sexy policewoman which was trying to arrest him and the next day she was a flirty nurse which wanted to heal the injury on his waist. To Xuefeng's surprise, Yiren quickly learned her role making each of their experience a unique journey.

Wisdom Tree sometimes didn't want to cooperate but under Xuefeng's repetitive requests it bent every time.

Today was the ninth day since they entered into this space and just as Xuefeng finished his daily training, Wisdom Tree surprised him with some news.

'Your body transformation was successful. If you want, you can leave at any time.' Wisdom Tree said without warning.

'Oh, this fast? Weren't we here only for more than a week?' Xuefeng asked surprised. He thought it will take a lot more time.

'Well, it might have been nine days in my space, but in the outside world, almost three months have passed already. Time flows about than ten times slower here,' Wisdom Tree answered truthfully.

"What?!" Xuefeng cried out uncontrollably.

'Well, even if I told you about it earlier. there is nothing you could change as the remodelling process already started.' Wisdom Tree said in its defence.

"Did something happen?" Yiren asked as she walked up to him after hearing him shout.

"I got informed by the Wisdom Tree that my body is ready and the fact that we actually spent three months here already." Xuefeng passed the news with a shock still visible on his face.

He thought about the other's waiting for him outside. Wouldn't they think that he is dead after he was gone for three months? In a moment of panic, he totally forgot about the token he received from Senior Wang back in the Spirit Arts Tower, which showed his signs of life.

"Oh…" Hearing the news, Yiren wasn't happy at all as well but from a different reason than Xuefeng. For her, it meant that the day when they need to separate is near and she didn't want that.

"... How about we stay here for a bit longer?" Yiren hugged into his arm and asked with hope in her eyes.

"Yiren, don't be silly… We were already away for three months…" Xuefeng looked her in the eyes and saw them watering, which made his tone lighten.

"...I don't want to separate from you…" Yiren buried her head into his chest as she hugged him deeply, with droplets of love flowing on her cheeks.

Xuefeng tried to say something but didn't know what he should do right now. Thankfully, Wisdom Tree arrived with a rescue.

"Actually, after the transformation, Xuefeng will be able to come back to the Holy Land without problems... He can visit this space as well anytime he wants…" Wisdom Tree called out loud to both of them and added after a pause.

"Really?" Both Yiren and Xuefeng asked at the same time.

"When you leave, you will find out." Wisdom Tree didn't explain anything else.

"Then please send us away." Xuefeng looked at Yiren and seeing her nod he called out to the Wisdom Tree.

"Alright." Wisdom Tree agreed and at the same time, their surroundings turned black. Yiren was still inside his arms and hugged into Xuefeng tighter.

After a moment they heard a buzz of the wind and finally started regaining their vision. Different types of Qi leaves started to detach from their bodies and they were finally left standing naked in the middle of the altar.

'Welcome back.' Ling called out in his mind when Xuefeng finally opened his eyes.

'Did you miss me?' Xuefeng asked hearing her cold voice after almost a ten days break.

'Hur, I didn't. That was a nice break. By the way, how do you like your new look?' Ling laughed denying and asked curiously.

'My new look?' Xuefeng asked troubled. He didn't think there would be many changed in his appearance from this transformation.

"Xuefeng, your hair changed… and your eyes look different too." Yiren brushed her hand against Xuefeng's hair and called out in amazement.

"Can you create a mirror so I can look at myself?" Xuefeng asked Yiren, who nodded and created a water screen out of Water Qi.

Xuefeng could see his reflection and his eyes opened wide from what he saw. His hairs turned white and they were longer after three months without cutting and his eyes became sharper and wider. His face had facial characteristics similar to the elves now. Xuefeng still looked alike as his previous look but he felt weird with those new changes.

'Can you tell me what is going on?' Xuefeng asked Ling speechlessly.

'Well, congrats on becoming a half-elf and half-human.' Ling smirked and offered congratulations. She could see Xuefeng wasn't happy and didn't forget to tease him.

"You have got to be kidding me…" Hearing Ling's reply Xuefeng didn't know what to say.

"Xuefeng, Yiren! You are finally back." Just as Xuefeng came down from the altar after complaining about his race change, The Queen dashed through the exit and called out to them.

"When I heard the commotion, I knew it was you guys. I see that the transformation was successful. How do you feel?" The Queen approached them happily and reached out to feel Xuefeng's white hair.

"What do you even mean, don't you see I turned into a half-elf?... Wait, you knew?" Xuefeng pointed towards his face speechlessly, but seeing no reactions from the Queen, he suddenly thought of something and asked in disbelief.

"Isn't it better right now? There is no other way to increase your affinity with nature other than changing your bloodline and cell structure. Now, with your body containing Royal elf bloodline, you can absorb Elemental Qi with each cell of your body. Wasn't that what you wanted?" The Queen didn't understand his complaints and explained.

"So you knew that this ceremony will change my race and you didn't ask me for my opinion in such an important decision? Is that what you want to tell me?" Xuefeng asked with disappointment on his face.

"I-I wanted to surprise you… Now you can stay in the Holy Land as long as you want. You can go in and out as you wish. Isn't that a great benefit?" Seeing that Xuefeng wasn't happy, the Queen finally realised that she might have made a mistake of not talking about it with Xuefeng before the ceremony, but she didn't expect that he would have such a big reaction.

"Really? So we can still see each other? Xuefeng isn't that great?" Yiren's eyes lit up the moment she heard her mother and she grabbed Xuefeng's arm, jumping excitedly.

"Well, It might be great, but I'm still mad at your mother for not consulting anything with me." Xuefeng patted Yiren on the head and looked at the Queen sighing.

"I'm sorry… It's my bad…" The Queen felt wrong under Xuefeng's disappointed gaze and hugged him, deeply apologizing.

"I don't know what you will have to do to redeem yourself, I will think about it later." Xuefeng's gaze softened seeing she understood her mistake, but he didn't forgive her completely.

"What are you going to do now?" Yiren asked.

"Apparently almost three months have passed already. I want to meet with my family in the outside world and let them know that I'm still alive…" Xuefeng said decisively, but seeing Yiren's and Queen's sad faces he added, "But don't worry after I settle everything, I will come back and visit you again. Knowing that I can come back here, I have some plans, so I won't abandon either of you."

"You promise?" Yiren tightened her hug and asked sweetly.

"I would never abandon my women as long as they are faithful and don't hide anything from me…" Xuefeng patted Yiren on the head as he promised, then looked at the Queen when he said the second part of his sentence.

"I already apologised alright… Let's go back to the palace. I will cut your hair to the previous length and we can talk later. You might want to wear some clothes as well, cause your snack is out in the open and you don't want anyone to eat it by accident…" The Queen sighed hearing him still having grudge against her and proposed as she pulled out a set of clothes for them while looking at Xuefeng's naked waist.

"Heh, only those who earned it will get to eat the snack," Xuefeng smirked as picked the clothes and started putting them on.

"..." The Queen rolled her eyes and thought, 'I will still eat it when you come back…'

...….

"Should I leave it like this or cut the sides even more? I don't know why but you look so cool. How did you think of this hairstyle?" The Queen asked as she cut his hair with scissors she made with Xuefeng's guidance.

"Yeah, Xuefeng mind has so many ideas. When we were in Wisdom Tree space he created so many outfits for me and the house he built for us was so pretty." Yiren called out happily from the side narrating Xuefeng's feats.

"Oh, so I guess you had a lot of fun together there... Even though I made a mistake, I was alone for almost three months and I didn't even get a kiss after you guys came back…" The Queen sighed and made a sad face as she complained, brushing through Xuefeng's hair.

"Okay, I know your skills already, you won't deceive me. You will get one each when it's time for me to leave… I think it's alright, we can leave it like that." Xuefeng rolled his eyes at Queen's tricks and stood up after looking at the water mirror, finding his hair back in a good shape.

"Tsk, when are you planning to leave?" Queen uttered after being discovered and asked in wonder.

"Well, I planned to leave today. You just need to tell me how I can leave and return later." Xuefeng said as he scratched his nose. He felt bad leaving them just to meet with Wuying, but he couldn't leave her worried without any signs of life. She was his woman already and Xuefeng never leaves his women behind.

"Can I come with you?" Yiren asked with hope.

"Can I take you next time after I take care of everything there?" Xuefeng sighed and requested as he caressed her cheek.

"Yeah…" Yiren enthusiasm dropped but she still nodded unwillingly while leaning against his warm hand.

"Good girl." Xuefeng approved her good nature and turned towards the Queen.

"Humph, I will tell you after I get my goodbye kiss." the Queen pouted as she avoided his gaze.

"Eh, okay. Come here, both of you." Xuefeng realised he won't get anything from the Queen if he doesn't play in her game and forfeited, spreading his arms apart.

Yiren who was already next to him didn't reject the invitation and hugged him as he covered her with one arm. The Queen wasn't much slower and also cuddled into Xuefeng's embrace. She was also the one who attacked Xuefeng's lips first.

When her tongue slipped into his mouth, it was as if she finally received the drug she was addicted to. She grabbed Xuefeng's hand which was on her back and placed it on her left buttcheek, allowing him to squeeze as he wished. She yearned for his touch for so long that she wanted all she could have.

Feeling left out, Yiren reached out and started kissing Xuefeng on the neck. Feeling softness on one hand Xuefeng slipped his second hand under Yiren's dress and clutched both butts at the same time. Separating from the Queen under her obvious unwillingness, he gave Yiren a deep goodbye kiss as well.

"Are you both satisfied?" Xuefeng asked after Yiren received her fill.

"No… I want one more…" Yiren asked sweetly just after they separated and Xuefeng surprisingly agreed, giving her another delicious kiss.

"What? I want one as well then…" The Queen opened her mouth in jealousy and asked for one as well.

"Well, bonus kisses are only for good girls. You were bad today, so you don't get to have one. Now, tell me." Xuefeng smiled as he slapped Queen's butt for being a bad girl.

"Fine… You just need to go through the portal in the hole behind the throne and think where you want to go. You have Royal Elf Blood so the portal will let you pass. You can basically go into every water source in the outside world." The Queen finally agreed and pointed at the throne engraved in the tree pillar.

"How can I come back?" Xuefeng asked.

"Take this and when you are in the water outside, pour Elemental Qi inside and a portal will take you back." The Queen put a golden token the size of a coin in his palm and explained.

"Then I will be going, okay?" Xuefeng looked at both women in his arms and asked.

"Do you really need to go?" Yiren hugged into his chest not willing to separate.

"I will be back before you realise." He tried to cheer her up.

"Go then. But if you don't come back, I will find you and kick your ass…" The Queen left Xuefeng's embrace and let him go. Nevertheless, she didn't forget to hit him lightly in the chest and remind him that she can always find him later.

"Okay then. Take care." Xuefeng approached the throne and pulled it towards him. It moved smoothly, revealing a hole behind it.

"Just think where you want to go and jump." The Queen said watching him look down the hole.

"Well then, see you in a few days." Xuefeng gave them one last goodbye and jumped just as the Queen told him to. He already knew where he wanted to go and it was the lake outside the Phoenix City.

He didn't think if he could appear in the small pond in his courtyard and also didn't want anyone to know he has such ability yet. He decided to slowly enter the city as if he just came back.

He was dropping for a few seconds as he kept thinking where he wants to go and he finally landed on a shiny blue portal. The moment he entered it, he suddenly found himself in a cold water a few meters underwater.

Xuefeng swam upwards and drew a huge breath as his head broke through the surface.

"Uff, I guess it worked." Xuefeng sighed as he looked around the coastline and realised he was just where he wanted.

Xuefeng got to the coast and changed his Elfish Clothes he got from the Queen into dry, Liu Clan one. Before he did so, Xuefeng spread his Spirit Awareness beforehand to check if anyone was near the lake. His training paid off a lot and now that his Spirit Awareness wasn't limited like in the Holy Land, he could see everything in the scope of a few hundred meters.

Just as he wore a clean set of clothes and prepared to move out, he was stopped by Ling.

'I didn't want to slow down your return so I didn't mention it earlier, but you received a gift from Wisdom Tree before you left.' Ling said.

'What gift?' Xuefeng asked intrigued as he halted his movements.

'Wisdom Tree gifted you its leaves, for the remaining Elements that you are lacking. I will help you consume them. Don't move.' Ling explained and commanded before she took action.

He looked inside his dantian and saw six leaves appear out of nowhere. They started assigning themselves into different spots in his dantian and soon it was separated into nine different parts. The part with Spirit Qi, Air Qi and Lightning Qi was filled to the brim while the rest only had a small leaf at the bottom.

Suddenly, Ling sent six parts of golden Fate Qi towards the leaves and they began to swiftly dissolve, emitting different colours of Qi. Although Xuefeng only received a small amount of each Elemental Qi, he was on top of the world. He already had a plan in his mind how to use this little bit of Qi.

'You can use this to create a portable Wisdom Tree of each element.' Ling suggested.

'That's what I was thinking as well! But damn I forgot to take Wisdom Tree Seeds from the Queen. I only have Fire, Water, Earth, Air and Lightning Wisdom Trees. If I want all I need to get another four seeds.' Xuefeng slapped his forehead, complaining about his bad memory.

'You also forgot to learn arts for those elements. How are you going to absorb and control their Qi? Also, I just realised. Even if you create Wisdom Trees for the other four elements, you wouldn't know how to proceed next as even elves don't have any arts for them.' Ling reminded him.

'Right… I was so concerned about Wuying that I forgot to ask many things. Well, I guess I will need to take a trip back to the Holy Land sooner than I thought. I also don't feel a lot of Air Essence in the air. It will take a lot of time to gather Elemental Qi in this world.' Xuefeng sighed realising his mistakes.

'It depends on the place you are at. If you visit a volcano area, you will feel a lot of Fire Essence in the air.' Ling answered to one of his worries but stayed silent about the others. She couldn't tell him that she was approached by the Wisdom Tree and made a deal with it. Wisdom Tree would give Xuefeng its leaves and Ling in exchange would bring Xuefeng back into the Holy Land more often. She didn't know why Wisdom Tree wanted to make such a deal, but looking at the conditions, it was hard for her to decline.

'How are you going to explain your appearance changes?' Ling asked, changing the subject.

'If it's Wuying, I will tell her the truth. I don't know how she will take it, but that's the least I can do. I will also tell my parents but I will hide some aspects. Okay, let's go back. It has been so long for them. I hope they don't think I'm dead…' Xuefeng thought and run towards the city after putting on a cloak. It was not that far from the lake but he didn't want to be that eye-catching by, for example, flying with wings on his back.

...….

"What the heck is going on…?" Xuefeng stood before the entrance gate to the Liu Clan and muttered under his breath as he looked into the sky. He could see various Cultivators flying above the Clan Grounds, patrolling and scanning the area with their Spirit Awareness. He could feel it brush against his own for a moment and then switch to checking another person on the street.

'Did something happen to the clan while I was gone?' Xuefeng counted as many as fifteen saint cultivators just in the sky above the clan and he suspected there might be even more on the ground.

"Excuse me, do you know what happened to the Liu Clan? Why are there multiple Saint Experts flying around there?" Xuefeng didn't rush anything and decided to ask the food seller who had a stall on the other side of the street.

"Oh, you are probably not from here, right? No one knows what exactly happened, but one day, a huge flying ship visited Liu Clan. It must have been someone important as I never seen a ship like that. They stayed for five or six days and then flew away, but a lot of experts stayed in the Liu Clan since then. I recall some other news that happened, but I somehow forgot about them just now, cough…" The foodseller looked at Xuefeng suspiciously but started narrating what happened anyway. Seeing that Xuefeng was interested, he coughed and pointed towards the price tag of the hot buns he had for sale.

"Tell me everything you know and I might give it to you if I'm satisfied," Xuefeng smirked under his hood and understood what the food seller was implying. He pulled out a high tier Spirit Stone and waved it in front of the seller.

The food seller's eyes brightened seeing the high Tier Spirit Stone in Xuefeng's hand and instantly he was much more energetic.

"About two months ago, Emperor came to visit with his son, bringing many gifts. There is a rumour that the Crown Prince offended one of the experts that are currently patrolling the Liu Clan and when the Emperor learned about it, he flew here to apologize in the place of his son. It turned out that Crown Prince wanted to hurt the Liu Clan's Young Master while he was on the mission but was beat up by the Saint Expert. Even Crown Prince's arm was crippled by him." The foodseller continued the story.

"What about the Saint Cultivators, do you know why they stayed behind in the Liu Clan?" Xuefeng wasn't bothered one bit by the Crown Prince and asked to confirm his conjecture. He already had an idea why.

"Well, people who work in the Liu Clan, say that the daughter of an important family is staying in the Liu Clan. I think they are just protecting her. Some say she is waiting for the Liu Clan's Young Master to come back from the important mission, but I can't confirm that. Liu Clan didn't say anything official about that." The food seller answered verifying Xuefeng's thoughts.

'So, I guess it's Xiao Wen that is waiting for me in the clan. She is the only one who can be from a big family with multiple Saint Cultivators at her disposal. I'm surprised she would wait three months for me to come back.' Xuefeng thought astonished.

"Did I satisfy sir with my answer?" The foodseller smiled as he looked at the Spirit Stone in Xuefeng hand.

"Yeah, here you go. Keep up the good work." Xuefeng threw the Spirit Stone to him and turned around, walking towards the Liu Clan Entrance Gate.

"Hey you, stop right there. Take off your hood before you proceed." Before Xuefeng could even approach the gate, he was spotted about five meters away by the guards and stopped as they shouted

"Is this how you should talk to your Young Master?" Xuefeng removed the hood and smiled to the guards. He didn't want to bring trouble to himself by sneaking inside as the Saint Experts would probably catch him anyway so he just headed straight inside.

What he expected to happen didn't occur and the guards didn't meet him with open arms. Their faces grew hostile and they picked up their weapons,

"You heard that our Young Master is away from the clan and just cause you somehow resemble him, you try to impersonate him? Do you think we are so stupid? Surrender yourself or you will end up badly." One of the guards snickered and aimed his sword at Xuefeng's face.

"Wow… Are you actually serious? Just cause my hair colour changed you don't recognize me anymore? How about this? You should know this, right?" Xuefeng was speechless and decided to pull out his Black Flames Slayer to prove his identity. He didn't want to create unnecessary drama.

A red blade appeared in his hand and black flames burned intensively. He looked at the guards and asked annoyed.

"Haha! Do you think you can impersonate our Young Master with this fake sword? From what I remember the Black Flames were much clearer than this and the sword had more of a blood red colour. Surrender yourself right now! This is your last chance!" The guard laughed seeing the sword and shouted warning Xuefeng for the second time.

"Okay, this is ridiculous." Xuefeng gave up convincing the dumb guards and stopped bothering with them. He didn't think that his slight appearance change would give him so much trouble. Not bothered to create any more commotion, he created a pair of Air Qi wings and flew into the sky, crossing the Clan Grounds' walls.

"Pfft…" The food seller who was watching the scene almost choked after seeing that Xuefeng could actually fly and with wings at that. The guards were also shocked but didn't do anything as they knew that Saint experts will catch the impersonator.

Xuefeng landed on the other side of the gate and just as the guards expected, it didn't take long for him to be surrounded by multiple Cultivators.

"Who are you? Identify yourself." One of the experts asked while aiming his weapon at Xuefeng. He looked like he would strike instantly if Xuefeng's answer wasn't satisfying.

'Uff, I hope they are not as dumb as those guards.' Xuefeng thought as he absorbed the Air Qi wings and looked at the man talking to him.

"I'm Liu Xuefeng, the Liu Clan Leader's son. You probably know I was trapped in a different space, right? I only got out today. You can call my father here or Xiao Wen and they will recognize me." Xuefeng introduced himself and said confidently.

"Where and how did you get trapped?" The Saint Expert didn't change his expression and continued asking.

"In the Moon Lake Forest. I was pulled by a weird wine into a small pool near the waterfall then I lost consciousness after I was dragged through the underwater stone doors. Did Xiao Wen call you guys for help?" Xuefeng explained and asked in exchange.

The cultivator in charge of talking didn't answer but looked at the others and nodded, causing all of them to keep their weapons. They bowed towards Xuefeng and soon dispersed, only leaving the two of them alone.

"I am sorry for stopping you, Young Master, and welcome back. Young Princess will be really happy to finally meet you again. She was waiting for a long time and didn't want to leave until you come back. I will call for your father, the Clan Leader now." The Saint Cultivator bowed as well and apologized. Now that they confirmed he was the real young master he had to be polite to the possible future master of Xiao Family.

Not many people knew what were the true circumstances of Xuefeng's disappearance as they isolated the news. Unless Xuefeng had actually been there, he wouldn't know any details.

Just as Xuefeng wanted to agree, he felt that something was buzzing inside of his Storage Ring. He pulled out the culprit and it turned out to be a Token he received from Senior Wang back in the Spirit Arts Tower. It was shining with white light and suddenly two people appeared next to them.

"Hello son, you are finally back. You took long enough to return." A familiar voice entered into Xuefeng's ears. It was exactly Senior Wang and his father who appeared out of nowhere and Xuefeng finally recalled Ling's words, that the token can act as a portable teleportation artefact.

"Father. Senior Wang. Yeah, I didn't think that almost three months would pass." Xuefeng breathed a sigh of relief seeing his father and finally relaxed.

"Haha, you recognize your son, right?" He pointed at his head and laughed. His white hair was short on the sides and lifted lightly in the middle, just like models in the modern style magazines Tianshi used to read.

"How could I not recognize my son? Let's not stay in the middle of the street, you will tell me what happened later. Also, don't worry about those guys, you will learn what is going on in a bit." Liu Xiaobei smiled as he patted his son on the shoulder.

"I will take my leave then." The Saint Expert seeing that the situation was resolved, bowed his head and flew away to continue the patrol. He didn't forget to pull out a red signal crystal and send a video to his master, Xiao Feng, as he distanced himself from Xuefeng's group.

"By the way, those two guards by the entrance gate are literally dumb. They didn't even give me the choice to identify myself and called me an imposter. No matter what I said they were sure I was fake. I don't think that should be the right behaviour in their position." Xuefeng informed as they walked in the direction of the Clan Leader's mansion. He didn't want idiots to work for them, so he reported it.

"Oh, Senior Wang will take care of it." Liu Xiaobei smiled seeing that Xuefeng matured a bit and gave Senior Wang an eye signal, who nodded, disappearing in the next second.

"But well, you can't blame them. You actually look a lot different than before. Even I had to take a second look to confirm that you are my son." Liu Xiaobei took a look at his son's weird hair once again and continued talking. Liu Clan cultivators passing them on the street gave Xuefeng curious glances but seeing that he was with Clan Leader they didn't stare for longer than a few seconds.

"Eh, it's a long story. I'm still not used to it myself." Xuefeng sighed. He would probably agree to it even if the Queen asked him for his opinion, so this outcome was unavoidable. He can easily imagine Ling asking him to accept Queen's offer.

"Okay, you don't need to tell me now. I will take your mom and come to your courtyard later. Meanwhile, you can go and meet with a lady who was waiting for you quite a bit. She is in your courtyard right now." Liu Xiaobei pointed towards Xuefeng's courtyard and continued to walk forward towards his mansion.

"Lady? Did Xiao Wen really wait for me so long? What about Wuying?" Xuefeng asked looking at his father's back who didn't give him enough explanation but didn't receive an answer.

Walking towards his courtyard he spotted Saint Cultivators acting as guards in front of the main doors. Feeling him approaching, he was scanned by multiple Spirit Awarenesses, but he was left alone a moment later.

"We already received news that Young Master is back. Young Princess is inside." The Experts greeted him as he approached and let him pass.

Xuefeng felt that the situation was extremely mysterious. Why would Xiao Wen wait for him this long? It was definitely not her style. If he wanted to guess, she would withstand a week in one place before she would ditch or find an excuse to travel somewhere.

Xuefeng was now really curious about what is going on, so he didn't wait longer and walked inside. Just as he entered, Xuefeng suddenly heard a melody. It was coming from the garden and sounded like a soft humming. Although the person was quiet, within the silent space, the melody was travelling everywhere in the courtyard.

As he walked slowly to where the sound was coming from, Xuefeng realised that he somehow knew this melody, but couldn't recall from where. Only after he stepped into the garden and saw the back of the person did he finally recall it.

'Right, Tianshi used to sing this song all the time… But how does Wuying know it?' Xuefeng thought, looking at the back of the lady who sat on the stone near the pond. The lady's back looked really similar to Wuying's and even her long black hair looked brighter in the sun, close to Wuying's brown colour.

Being sure it was Wuying's humming, Xuefeng wanted to call out to her but his words stuck in his throat when the lady suddenly started to sing.

When the words of the song entered into his ears, he couldn't help but imagine the last moments he spent with Tianshi before he fell from the cliff. He recalled Tianshi walking next to him and singing the same song, in the same way as the lady before him.

'Tianshi…?' Tianshi's face appeared in his mind and the more he looked at the lady's back, the strongest his desire to meet her once again grew in his heart.

The lady continued to sing and his heart finally broke apart as his leg unconsciously moved forward. He wanted to see her... He wanted to hold her hand once again… He wanted to confirm his thoughts…

Xuefeng knew that the odds of the lady being Tianshi were extremely low, but he didn't care. If there was only a small chance, he would still grab onto it, hoping it was true…

Her hair turned darker and darker as he drew near with each step. Her back now looked so similar to Tianshi's that he had the urge to run up to her and hug her. Even if she wasn't Tianshi, he wanted to believe…

Xuefeng expected to hear the next verse of the song, but the lady suddenly paused her singing just as he was a meter away from her.

"I waited so long, to meet you once again…" Tianshi sang softly as she slowly turned around and looked at Xuefeng, with a gentle smile on her face.

"I have been very strong, but can you finally hug me to release my pain…" She sang even softer as eventually, tears of happiness she was holding back fell from her eyes.

"Thud" Xuefeng's legs suddenly felt weak and he fell onto his knees. While looking at the face he yearned deep down to see once again, he suddenly felt something dripping from his chin. Tianshi couldn't hold back anymore and threw herself into Xuefeng's arms. She hugged into his chest without holding back on her strength, wanting him to repay all the hugs he owed her.

Xuefeng's hands moved on its own, as they slid upwards on Tianshi's back slowly tightening around her. Feeling her body in his arms, he started to believe it was not a dream.

No… He wanted to believe.

Xuefeng wanted her to be the reality so much that he tightened his grasp around her body even harder, afraid…

Afraid that when he let go of her, she will disappear from his life again…

Afraid that when he loosens his hold on her, she will slip away from his arms like hot sand slipping through the hand…

"Are you my Tianshi…?" Xuefeng finally let go after a few minutes of holding onto her and asked still in a little disbelief while holding her cheeks.

"Haha… Are you my Xuefeng…?" Tianshi sobbed laughing and asked back touching his forehead with her own.

"How did you follow me here?" Xuefeng asked the question which was bothering him.

"I jumped right after you…" Tianshi said softly, embarrassed. He died for her and she threw her life away not knowing if they would actually meet again.

"Idiot! How could you throw away your life like that? What would you do if you didn't come into the same world as me?" Just as she thought, Xuefeng didn't stay calm and cursed at her stupid move.

"I didn't want to live without you…" Tianshi said gently as she looked at Xuefeng with new tears forming up under her eyes. When he saw that, his heart couldn't help but soften. Xuefeng leaned over and finally did what he wanted to do since the moment he met her.

"Mhmm…" To her surprise, he kissed her deeply stealing away her first kiss. She panicked at the start not knowing what to do, but with Xuefeng's subtle lead, she learned the basic movements quickly.

Xuefeng couldn't be with Tianshi due to her overbearing father on Earth but this time, there was nothing which could stop him anymore. She was right in front of him, once again and he will not make the same mistake again. Tianshi was his woman… and Xuefeng never leaves his women behind.

Xiao Feng pulled out a red crystal after hearing it crack and watched the recording of Xuefeng landing inside the Liu Clan Grounds with milky white Air Qi Wings on his back. His first reaction wasn't happiness but a long frown. Even after the video ended, he was recalling Xuefeng's facial features.

No one would notice that something was wrong if he has never been to that world, but he was. He had seen elvish features and he could tell that Xuefeng had some of them. Even if he didn't see Xuefeng's face, the first thing that everyone would notice, his white hair, was already enough to become a little suspicious.

He was wondering how could Xuefeng stay in that word for almost three months and now he got his answer.

"So you became one of them… interesting… I never thought of this idea. You probably stayed there for a long time to study their arts, hence you have their signature wings." Xiao Feng scratched his chin as he thought out loud.

Twenty-five years ago when Xiao Feng was in the Holy Land, even though he spent all of his time there in the palace, he could see elves flying around on their wings from the balcony. Later he understood that they were using Elemental Qi and regretted, not learning at least some of their secrets.

"Well boy, I hope that you tell me everything you know or else our first meeting will not be pleasant…" Xiao Feng smiled mysteriously and disappeared from his study room.

...….

"Wen, what happened? Are these the news about Xuefeng?" Wuying asked with a rare smile when she saw that Xiao Wen received a message from a masked cultivator.

"No…" Xiao Wen shook her head and watched Wuying reaction. Just as she expected, Wuying smile was instantly gone as she wasn't interested in any other news than the one related to Xuefeng.

'Maybe I should tell her…? She already wasted eight entries, if she wastes the last one, she will lose her chance to get the Blood Inheritance… Well, there is nothing to lose I guess. Maybe she will push herself a little harder this way.' Xiao Wen thought as she watched Wuying playing with a ball of Blood Qi in her hand, transforming it into different shapes.

Each person had nine entries to each Inheritance Ground. After you fail all of them, then it's over. You couldn't enter anymore. Xiao Wen tried the Blood Inheritance and she knew it was hard, so she didn't blame Wuying.

"Okay, I lied." Xiao Wen decided to tell Wuying the truth.

"I knew it! Is he back?" Wuying smile returned as she cried with injustice. She somehow had a feeling that Xiao Wen was lying to her.

"Yes, he returned today. But you have to make a choice. Do you want to go back to Xuefeng right now or are you going to try again to get the inheritance and impress him? Only with strength, you can walk by his side as you roam the world together." Xiao Wen gave Wuying two options, but she knew what Wuying will choose.

"I… I want to stay and get stronger…" Wuying said determined after thinking for a moment. Now that she didn't need to worry about Xuefeng anymore, she could wholeheartedly focus on improving herself, so she can match Xuefeng. She knew that after three months, he probably increased the gap between them even more.

"Good, I hope you are not going to fail on the last step again. This is your last chance. Inform my father that we won't be going with him. We will catch up with him after a week." Xiao Wen warned Wuying before she turned towards the guard who was waiting for her reply and commanded.

"Yes, Princess." The guard bowed, replying, before swiftly flying away.

"Are you going to enter right away?" Xiao Wen asked as she looked towards the entrance of the Blood Inheritance Grounds and shivered. The amount of killing one person had to do in this trial was scary even for her. She was proud of Wuying who wasn't affected at all even after eight tries.

"The faster I finish, the earlier I will meet with Xuefeng. I will enter now." Wuying smiled as she decided instantly and walked forward to the cave. Wuying didn't look like she was going inside to take part in an extremely deadly trial, but as if she was going for a casual walk.

"Good luck… Xuefeng, if you hurt her, I will make your life miserable…" Xiao Wen encouraged her and muttered under her breath after Wuying left. After spending some time with Wuying, she realised how much she loves Xuefeng and even started cheering for her love, treating her like a little sister.

"He already has Tianshi and Wuying head over heels for him, what a lucky guy… Maybe I should also spend some time with him, hmmm…" Xiao Wen snickered thinking about Xuefeng's success with women, but couldn't deny that he wasn't that bad.

Looking at all the young men gathered around the Blood Inheritance, glancing lewdly at her from time to time, she couldn't help but compare them with Xuefeng. At least he treated women with respect which was kind of rare.

...….

Xuefeng lay down on the garden grass with Tianshi on top of him. He didn't let go of her since the moment they hugged and their lips were tightly connected for the whole time. Sometimes he was separating from her, just so he can look at her face for a moment while caressing her soft cheeks before kissing her deeply once again.

Tianshi was overwhelmed with Xuefeng's passion, but she was happy nonetheless. She liked this confident Xuefeng as well. She couldn't imagine Xuefeng being this overbearing on Earth. Pushing his tongue into her small mouth and playing with her own. His hands also roamed around her body, hungry for more intimate touch.

She didn't reject him, though. This was all she wanted for a long time, even back on Earth but she had to hide her emotions, afraid of her strict father. Tianshi was still new to such stuff, but she wanted to try all of them.

"Mhmm…!" Well, she wanted to try them all but not everything at the same time. When Xuefeng's hands started to rub and squeeze her chest, she still tolerated it, but when one of his hands slipped into her underwear, she couldn't help but exclaim, pulling away from him.

"I am sorry, I got carried away. My hands kind of moved on their own…" Xuefeng apologized seeing her reaction. He got too used to such actions while playing with the Queen and Yiren for so long that he forgot himself for a second.

"It's okay… So I guess you already had some fun with other girls here, right?" Tianshi sat down on his belly and asked shyly, looking to the side.

"...Yes, I did…" Xuefeng admitted honestly.

"At least you don't lie to me… So what are you going to do now?" Tianshi muttered and asked quietly, still not looking down at Xuefeng's face.

"Tianshi… Look me in the eyes… I love you. I loved you from the moment I saw you at our school opening ceremony… When you walked out to give a speech in the class, I knew that I wanted you to be mine. My feelings for you didn't falter, even after I died and thought that I will never meet you again… I want you to know that..." Xuefeng sat up, making Tianshi slide onto his lap and reached out, holding onto her face so she turns to look at him.

"I know… but…" Hearing his words, Tianshi eyes turned red as tears threatened to spill once again. She wanted to say something, but Xuefeng sealed her lips in time with a kiss.

"You should understand, that when I first arrived here I was sure that our paths will not cross again. Adding the fact that I inherited memories, feelings and emotions from another person after I reincarnated… You should have met Wuying, right? The original owner of this body was in love with her and after I spend some time with her, I realised that I started to share those feelings. She was lovely, caring and I couldn't find a reason to reject those emotions." Xuefeng explained as he wiped Tianshi's tears gently.

"If I forgot what happened between me and her, I would not be the man you want to love anymore… If you feel like you can't be with me because of this anymore then…" Xuefeng continued but this time it was Tianshi who stopped his speech with a sweet kiss.

"Idiot! If I wanted to do that I wouldn't wait for three months for you… As long as I can stay with you, nothing else matters. I knew about Wuying from the start… I just wanted to test if you are still my Xuefeng..." Tianshi cried out and hit Xuefeng on the chest, only to bury her head in his arms.

"I am still the same. If anything… I might be better now…" Xuefeng rolled over and pushed Tianshi to the ground, catching her off guard.

Just as he was about to cover her lips again, he heard a sweet voice calling him from the entrance, "~Xuefeng!"

Tianshi recognized that voice and instantly tried to push Xuefeng away from her, but didn't expect to meet such resistance from Xuefeng's sturdy body.

Even with the increase of her strength due to starting cultivation, she couldn't move him even one bit. Without mentioning Ling's regeneration ability, after Xuefeng received Royal Elf Bloodline, not only his appearance changed but also his body structure, making his physique even stronger.

"~Xuefeng! What are you doing to sister Tianshi?" Liu Mei tilted her head to the side as she asked curiously seeing the two on top of each other.

"Ah, little Mei. He was just…" Tianshi called out shyly to little Mei, struggling to find an explanation for such an unusual situation, but Xuefeng forestalled her, "I was trying to kill a bug on her face."

Tianshi glanced at Xuefeng with a look as if saying, 'You think that will work?!'

"Ooh, where is it now?" Little Mei approached them but didn't find any bugs nearby.

"Well, I chased it away. Anyway, what are you doing here?" Xuefeng asked, but a second later he heard footsteps of people coming into the courtyard.

"Little Mei, I told you to wait a bit so they can have some time together…" Mu Lan, Xuefeng's mother, sighed seeing her pupil ruined the pair's reunion.

Xuefeng by that time already realised that his intimate time with Tianshi got to the end, forcing himself to stand up while helping Tianshi up as well. He didn't forget to feel her butt one more time with the pretext of brushing the dust away.

With the presence of Xuefeng's parents in the garden, she couldn't do anything other than shooting a glare at him, which he replied with a teasing smile.

"But I wanted to see brother Xuefeng… Did you miss me?" Little Mei pouted and seeing that Xuefeng's arms were free, she hugged him, asking sweetly.

After starting cultivation, her growth gained an explosive boost as she was already higher by a few centimetres.

"Of course, how could I forget about my favourite little friend in the clan." Xuefeng smiled patting little Mei on the head.

"Heh, I am not that little anymore. I already grew this big!" Little Mei giggled and measured herself using Xuefeng as a scale. She pointed from the top of her head towards Xuefeng's chest, showing how much she grew.

"Yes, I bet you will grow into a fine and beautiful lady." Xuefeng nodded.

"Of course, I will be as pretty as sister Tianshi." Little Mei smirked and let go of Xuefeng, switching to Tianshi instead.

"Hello, Mother." Using the opportunity, Xuefeng approached his parents, who stood by the side and greeted his mother with a hug.

"At least you still remember about your parents. Where have you been for so long?" Mu Lan smiled and asked.

"Well, you probably know I was pulled into a different space from Wuying. In that space, there was another race living inside of it. I was staying with them and learning many arts. I didn't even realise that almost three months have passed." Xuefeng explained vaguely.

"What about your appearance?" Liu Xiaobei followed with another question.

"I actually took part in a ceremony that increased my affinity with nature, so I have an easier time to study their arts and it changed my appearance. Take a look at this…" Xuefeng mixed telling the truth with hiding some parts and replied before swiftly creating Air Qi wings on his back to showcase what he learned.

"Wow, you have wings! You can fly now!" Liu Mei cried out as she ran up to Xuefeng to touch them.

"Haha, Yeah. Isn't that cool? How about we fly around as I promised?" Xuefeng smiled and picked Little Mei up.

"You remembered our promise!" Liu Mei called out happily as she wrapped her hands around his neck.

"How could I forget. Hold me tight or you will drop." Xuefeng warned before he launched into the air with a simple swing. After a little bit of practice, he was much more proficient in flying.

Xuefeng's Parents opened their mouths in surprise and Tianshi wasn't different. She wanted to impress him with her mastering of Heavenly Steps, but it turned out, he already knew a better art. Something was also telling her that it was not everything he studied and her skills wouldn't be enough to move him.

When Xuefeng landed a few minutes later, they could see the excited look on Liu Mei's face. For a Spirit Master like her, getting a chance to fly in the Air which only Saint Experts can enjoy was the best thing that happened to her so far.

"So you know Air Arts, great! Did you learn any other?" Liu Xiaobei exclaimed happily and asked in hope. Mastering one element was already a great headstart compared to other cultivators but if you managed to get your hands on two or three, then you basically had the ultimate advantage.

"Well… You can see for yourself." Xuefeng knew that his Elemental Cultivation would not remain hidden too long, so he didn't feel the need to hide it.

He placed Liu Mei on the ground and with a call from his mind, he released the Lightning Qi which was filling his dantian to the brim, covering both of his hands with lighting. He didn't want to shock them by showing his Lightning Armour, so he opted towards a simple demonstration.

"Hahahaha, that's my son." Liu Xiaobei burst out laughing full of pride seeing that Xuefeng had another element under his control. Which parent didn't want their kid to have a successful life?

'How did you make so many improvements in just three months…' Tianshi was shocked once again, but she wasn't jealous. She was happy for him and secretly glad for herself as well cause as his woman, she could share his success. Tianshi believed that Xuefeng was the man who was destined for her.

"Don't take all the credits! He is also my son. Feng'er, tell your mother one more thing. What are your relations with Lady Tianshi? What are your plans?" Mu Lan lashed out at her husband and glanced at Tianshi. She was happy with his improvements, but as a mother, she had to stay grounded and take care of his interests. She wasn't a supporter of polygamy in the marriage as one could deduct from her current relationship, so she couldn't help but ask.

Xuefeng sneakily glanced at Tianshi wondering what she said to his parents earlier but in the end, he decided not to guess anything and just show them with his actions. He walked towards Tianshi without saying anything to his mother causing Tianshi to get a little bit nervous.

It wouldn't be a lie if one said that Xuefeng was a changed man after coming into this world and Tianshi didn't know what he would do. Xuefeng reached out with his arms, getting hold of Tianshi's waist and didn't hesitate to go straight for a deep kiss.

She reacted quite shyly, knowing that Xuefeng's parents were standing next to them, watching, but after realising what that kiss meant, she relaxed, allowing him to do as he pleased. He chose to be her man and she agreed to be his woman.

Liu Mei didn't quite understand what they were doing but was fascinated and looked with them with interest.

"Well, as long as she has no problems with it, what can I do…" Mu Lan gave up separating them as she sighed. She picked Little Mei's small hand and they left the courtyard letting the loving pair enjoy their time.

"Mhmm… They already left…" After a few minutes of passionate action including their tongues playing with each other, Tianshi delicately pushed Xuefeng away, informing him.

"I know, I'm just allowing you to pay me back for all those years I couldn't taste your sweet lips..." Xuefeng smirked as he leaned over and locked Tianshi's slender body in his embrace once again. He didn't hesitate to squeeze her firm buttcheeks allowing her to get used to his subtle harassment.

"Wait a moment, I need to ask you something..." Tianshi once again escaped, but this time she placed her hand on top of his lips, so he couldn't kiss her anymore. Xuefeng still held her in his arms as he gave her a chance to talk.

"You didn't tell the whole truth, right? I want to know everything. Especially about… the girl you met there…" Tianshi demanded answers.

"...How do you know about her…?" Xuefeng asked surprised. He planned to tell Tianshi about Yiren but didn't think she would already know about her.

"I just know! Did you... do it with her…?" Tianshi exclaimed and got to the point that actually interested her.

"...Yes, I did." Xuefeng admitted after a deep breath.

"Sigh, I thought you somehow managed to leave without having to go through that… So you actually got her pregnant…" Tianshi sighed, feeling a bit unwell, knowing that Xuefeng will actually have a kid with someone else.

"What? I didn't make anyone pregnant. Who told you that?" Xuefeng stopped her thoughts before she goes too far and he called out extremely confused.

"Really? I thought you had to make the Princess of that race pregnant to be allowed to leave." Now it was time for Tianshi to be confused.

"Who told you that?" Xuefeng dug to learn the truth.

"My father was chosen just like you twenty-five years and was trapped in that space… Is something wrong? Your face suddenly turned red." Tianshi started explaining but stopped when she saw Xuefeng's cheeks redden.

Xuefeng's brain worked quickly and he realised how fucked he was. If Tianshi's father was in the same situation as him, twenty-five years ago, then Yiren is Tianshi's half-sister and the Queen is actually his lover.

'Damn, how do I tell Tianshi's father, that two of his daughters are my woman and his old lover is mine as well…?' Xuefeng cursed in his mind thinking of a solution that would save him.

Meanwhile, in the main study room of Tang Family, the medicine god, Tang Fei, Master of Tang Family was sitting relaxed on the sofa when his son entered the room with an annoyed look on his face.

"Dad, I can't wait anymore. Did you find out what is going on from this moron?" Tang Taizong call out as soon as he entered the room.

"Sit down. Don't create a nervous atmosphere. Don't you see I'm smoking my pipe?" Tang Fei took another puff from his pipe and pointed towards the chair opposite him.

"How can I stay calm when Tianshi is already away for three months and no one knows where she went. Now her father once again left the capital." Tang Taizong complained as he sat down reluctantly.

"Well, do you know how much I had to pay to get that information from Manager Kong? A box filled with Rank 7 healing pills." Tang Fei said as he slowly exhaled the white smoke from his mouth.

"What?! This many? Doesn't he know how much one of them cost?!" Tang Taizong exclaimed loudly hearing the price. One Rank 7 pill had a cost comparable to the yearly revenue from a small country. It wasn't weird that he was surprised by it.

"Yeah, he knows and that's why he dictated such price. Trade Union sells all kinds of information they can get and its value is based on the work they had to do, to get this information, multiplied by the risk of offending the person this information involves. If someone wanted information concerning our family, they would have to pay the same amount." Tang Fei explained calmly.

"Then what did you learn? Do you know where is she right now?" Taizong asked without patience.

"I know everything, but they are not good news. It turns out that she found herself another man. He lives in a small country in the Eastern Region and she stayed in his clan for the last three months..." Tang Fei paused allowing this information to sink into his son's mind. It's a great shame to lose a woman to another man, so he wanted to use this opportunity where the opponent appeared to temper his son.

To his surprise, Taizong wasn't a little bit bothered.

"Uff, I thought it was something serious. How can a small clan from a backdoor country compare to us? We can just destroy the whole clan and the problem will be gone." Taizong smiled as he thought of a quick plan to get rid of his problem. Using his family influence was his solution.

"Idiot! Use your brain for once. How am I going to leave you to lead the family if you are so stupid? If Xiao Feng decides to take revenge, do you know how big the consequences would be? Even if we match them in power, our fighting strength isn't on the same level as them. Even without knowing all the details, you already made up your decision." Tang Fei cursed at his son throwing his pipe at him.

"What did I say wrong? We can always sneakily assassinate them and no one will connect it to us." Taizong massaged his forehead after getting hit and defended himself.

"Well, what if I tell you that the father of that man is actually Xiao Feng's old friend? There are probably many experts stationed all around in the clan, protecting Tianshi. There is no way you can kill anyone without them knowing." Tang Fei revealed crucial information.

"... I can send an assassin to kill this guy. As long as that bastard leaves his clan, I don't need to go through all of them." Taizong called out after thinking it for a bit.

"I am not going to give you any family resources to settle this. You are old enough and this is your problem. Also, one last thing. I am not going to make you the head of the family unless you can make Tianshi yours. I am already ashamed you can't make the girl you like, yours. To think I, Tang Fei, would have such a failure of a son. To even force a girl to commit suicide because she doesn't want to be with you…" Tang Fei sighed, glancing at his son disappointedly.

"... Don't worry… I will take care of it..." Taizong gritted his teeth wanting to curse but didn't dare to in the end.

"Good. Here you have all the details. Don't disappoint me again." Tang Fei didn't care about his son mood and threw him a ring. If such a setback affects him, then he just isn't a good choice for leading the family.

Taizong caught the ring and left after checking the content. He decided to settle this issue right away and he already had a perfect candidate for this job.

After leaving the family territory, Taizong walked towards the famous bar where all the mercenaries gathered. His father didn't want to provide him with any of his experts, then he will find the best one himself.

He walked into the bar and looked around. It was noisy and crowded but Taizong knew who he was looking for. He walked to the table in the corner of the room, and suddenly the bar turned silent, with only the sound of Taizong's footsteps in the air.

He stopped by the table where only one person was sitting and even the tables next to him were free.

"I have a mission for you. Check the content and tell me if you agree." Taizong simply said and threw the storage ring towards the man without wasting time. Taizong knew from the rumours that he didn't like unnecessary gibberish.

Half of the man's face was covered in the shadows with only his wicked smile being highlighted by the light of the lantern. He grabbed the ring and looked inside it while playing with his dagger with the other hand.

"Double it." The man threw the dagger up in the air which suddenly multiplied into two and grabbed them both skillfully before he said in a playful, husky voice.

"Deal." Taizong was already prepared and threw another ring towards the mysterious man.

"Then you got yourself a deal. I will inform you when I finish." The man smiled once again and both rings disappeared into his own. When he accepted, the people in the bar began to talk once again. Earlier they didn't want to disturb him.

"To think that he actually managed to convince Thousand Blades to do something for him" Other mercenaries changed their conversation topic into the deal from a moment ago.

"Yeah, I wonder how much this kid offered him to get his approval."

"We will never know, but taking into account that he has one hundred percent success rate, I can imagine that only a big sum would move him."

"I guess we will have another corpse under Thousand Blades records. He doesn't accept jobs he isn't sure he can accomplish."

...….

Hearing that Tianshi already knows about Yiren, Xuefeng didn't have a reason not to tell her everything from the beginning. He brought her to his room and while hugging her on the bed, he started telling her about everything that happened since he arrived in this world.

He told her about his life in the clan, the awakening ceremony, and even Ling. He made sure that no one was spying on them, before telling Tianshi about fate fragments and special powers he can get from killing other fate fragment holders.

She didn't like that concept but she couldn't do anything about it. They weren't on Earth anymore and killing was on the agenda here.

He also mentioned Princess Shan whom he took his second ability from, and about his promise to her.

"Now that I think about it, I didn't get any news from her, so maybe she already left for the White Lotus Academy." Xuefeng thought out loud.

"Well, you should do at least this much for her after stealing her fragment." Tianshi agreed with him on his promise. If he just stole from her, she would definitely bash him on the head.

"You are not jealous?" Xuefeng teased.

"Do I have to be? You are already playing around with other girls… what else can I do? I can only blame myself for forcing you to get that stupid picture, else I would have you all to myself..." Tianshi made a sad face, blaming herself.

"It's not your fault. Let's look forward instead of the past. We can't turn back time." Xuefeng hugged her into his chest, calming her down.

"What happened next? Tell me about this Yiren girl." Tianshi asked after regaining her composure.

"I met her not long after I woke up from losing consciousness. She was…" Xuefeng smiled and continued to tell her the story. He mentioned almost every detail, but in the end, he refrained from telling her about his affair with the Queen.

He decided to postpone informing her about it, till everything settles. Too much news at the same time would be too overwhelming.

When it was time for Tianshi to tell her story, his mood instantly worsened. He wasn't happy learning that another guy was pursuing after Tianshi and she almost ended up with an arranged marriage.

"You should stay with me from now on. I won't let him touch you with even one finger." Xuefeng pulled her closer towards himself and promised.

"Mhmm…" Tianshi nodded, finally feeling safe with Xuefeng.

"If he is the way you described him to be, then I guess he won't stop chasing after you. Another annoying guy, gosh." Xuefeng sighed, noting that he has to be on guard once again.
