We should go

When Ye Fan saw the distraught look that was on Mei Yinxuan, he patted gently on her shoulder as he whispered. "Let's go."

He had no idea that Mei Yinxuan and Fan De had made a vow of solitary to have just each other and therefore, he did not know that this matter had actually hurt her a lot. 

In the Dragontooth Continent, it is common for the cultivators to have a harem. It is because the higher the cultivation realm of the cultivator, the harder it is for them to sire any children. Most of the high level cultivators actually did not have any children and the master-protégé relationship was therefore more emphasized usually. 

Usually the more important family clans of the cultivators would marry early to try to sire children. This only brought upon a more moderate success since most of the cultivators with a powerful background would start cultivating when they could walk.

And this also affected their ability to sire any children.

It was also not uncommon to have the lineage of father and son that are separated by hundreds of years in the Dragontooth Continent due to the difficulty of conceiving.

That is also the reason why the celestial sects are constantly trying to expand their celestial sects with more protégés from the nearby non-cultivator base villages and towns even with limited cultivation resources.

It is because most of the cultivators are destined to have no children.

It is also not unusual for the more powerful and wealthy cultivation sects to expend most of their cultivation wealth in order to seek a fertility elixir in order to continue their bloodline.

It is also not uncommon for important cultivators' bloodlines to be wiped out with every generation.

That is why cultivator stories of cultivators that are extremely fertile are popular among the cultivators even though it lacks social studies or realism; if a cultivator with a harem is so fertile, it will take just 100 years for the population to grow to 1000 and 500 years to grow to 1 million, assuming that everyone has a harem. 

In just 1000 years, the entire world will be populated with just the descendants of the super fertile cultivator and his descendants. 

Soon it will become a problem with plenty of inbreeding and a collapse in social order. That is also the reason why most cultivator stories only have the main protagonist having children but not his children even though they may be tens of thousands of years old. 

Ye Fan was thinking that it was nothing wrong for Fan De to flirt around since it did not affect him anyway. 

Also, he never actually had the desire or hope that Chen Yuyan would be his sweetheart in the first place. Even her Nine Yin Divine Body was not tempting to him.

Ye Fan was a more honest cultivator that wanted to cultivate with his own means and his principles would not bend even if a shortcut was presented to him.

That was also the reason why he was bent on avenging the Thousand Swords Divine Sect even though he would lose his dear life.

And to a cultivator, their life matters since they are able to prolong their lifespan by increasing their cultivation realms. 

And when they could reach the peak of their cultivation realm, they would finally become an immortal that transcends all mortal boundaries! 

But defying the heavens to prolong their lifespans to an unnatural level also had its consequences; the cultivators had to struggle with their bloodlines being cut, the many divine calamities and wraths that could afflict their struggles throughout their cultivation life.

But between long life and a short life, many would still choose to be a cultivator to enjoy long life as no one wanted to die.

Even if they did not have any descendants, they would still choose to be a cultivator to experience longer life than anyone else even though most of the time they would be cultivating. 

Everyone was hopeful that they may have children and they would not die from their divine calamity.

To reach the 5th cultivation realm, the odds of surviving this breakthrough is actually 1 in 3.

To reach the 6th cultivation realm, the odds of surviving this breakthrough is actually 1 in 5

To reach the 7th cultivation realm, the odds of surviving this breakthrough is actually 1 in 7.

For Ye Fan, he was quite safe from the divine calamity as of now and only when he could reach the golden body level of the 5th cultivation realm and become a golden celestial would he be incurring the heavens' wrath.

For Mei Yinxuan and Fan De, they were already at the 4th cultivation realm and they should be more worried than Ye Fan because most of them would not be able to survive to the 5th cultivation realm.

That was also the reason why Ye Fan thought that it was not surprising for his Eldest Protégé Fan De to try to gain the Nine Yin Divine Body of Chen Yuyan for himself. After all, Fan De for sure did not want to perish in his breakthrough and he was trying to increase his odds of a successful breakthrough.

That was also the reason why there are so many prized cultivators of the 4th cultivation realms that were taking the Undermountain Trial; all of them hope to gather some precious profound treasures or resources to increase their odds of survival.

That included Mei Yinxuan, Fan De, Huangfu Ming and Ouyang Nana that had come with Ye Fan. They were all 4th realm cultivators. 

Even though Fairy Xuan Xueqi was only at the 5th cultivation realm and only a cultivation realm higher than the highest level core protégés but she was a golden celestial and it was quite impossible for them to even have a slight chance of winning her.

Also, it would even take decades or several hundred years to realize a breakthrough to the 5th cultivation realm level. 

90% of the 4th realm cultivators never got a chance of breakthrough to the 5th cultivation realm. 

This itself marked the vast disparity between Fairy Xuan Xueqi and the core protégés. That was why she was an elder and they were not.

Ye Fan blinked his eyes when he saw that Mei Yinxuan had no reaction when he said to her, "Let's go."

So he tapped on her shoulder again and repeated, "Senior sister, we should go."

He did not want to be a peeping tom.

This time however, Mei Yinxuan had a reaction as she suddenly turned around to wrap Ye Fan into an embrace and she was passionately kissing him now.

This caught Ye Fan by surprise…

He could feel Mei Yinxuan's moist lips on his mouth and her wet passionate tongue. So startled was him that he fell backward and his head was knocked against a rock on the ground.

It happened too sudden and the shock was too impactful that Ye Fan had suddenly blacked out!
