Xia Qingyue

Yi Tao spends the whole night creating pills based on the herbs he had. Body Refinement Pills, Qi Cultivation Pills, Yang Enhancing Pills, Yin Enhancing Pills, Nascent Breaking Pills, True Breaking Pills, Spirit Breaking Pills, Healing Pills, and Poison Dispersing Pills. It was finally time for him to fall asleep as after an afternoon of refinement, as he had gotten used to his Wood Fire Alchemy Art, pill concocting, and refinement processes.

"Yi Tao, breakfast is here. Come and have some."

"Thank you patriarch"

"No problem, I saw what you have done for my daughter last night. Her master, one of the seven fairies is coming today to see you and her disciple."

"Alright. I'll see her when it's time."

They slowly ate breakfast, as it was Yi Tao's first time eating real food in billions of years he tried to savor it the best he could, eating portions for 5 people.

Yi Tao was not in a hurry to become strong, he wanted to take it slowly as there was no reason for him to push himself and no enemies to worry about. Yi tao finished eating and walked to Xia Qingyue's bedroom meeting Xia Yuanba on the way.

Exchanging some words to each other, Yi Tao wanted to run away, Yuanba was too friendly and personal.

Knocking on Xia Qingyue's bedroom door, he waiting for a response and then slowly walked in.

"You feel a lot warmer today."

"After yesterday a lot of the things you said made sense, and I was at fault for how I was acting."

"Don't worry, we all lose ourselves at some point. What do you say about what I said yesterday?"

"I can't make a decision, however, I still owe the Xiao Family for what they have done for my family in the past."

"Don't worry about that, I can give them benefits in place for you. Besides, they are not happy about a girl marrying a cripple in their family."

"How do you know? I checked, you only came into the city yesterday morning."

"We all have our secrets but, there is no use talking about them now, as we will slowly find out."

"Okay. If you can provide the Xiao family benefits I'm sure they will cancel the engagement. However, you still have to deal with Frozen Cloud Asgard. Marriage is not permitted."

'This girl. She never once mentioned herself, just other people. How do people think this way? Be a girl for once'

"Alright, here are some pills, a Spirit Breaking Pill, 10 Healing Pills, and 5 Poison Dispersing Pills. I'm sure someone in the future may try to hurt you especially with your prospects."

Xia Qingyue's gaze turns fuzzy, as she was not expecting more from Yi Tao after what he had given her yesterday but, calmy thanks him for it. Yi Tao starts to walk away but stops at the doorway to mutter some words stunning Xia Qingyue.

"Don't think of yourself as some object, you never once mentioned yourself when talking of marriage. You're not a thing but a person."

Not a thing but a person. She repeats under her breath.
