In the Mountain Forest (2)

Little Xuefeng was now lost inside the forest as she had wandered too far.

But in her arms, was a cute little bunny that she had found.

She was a little afraid and she tried to sing to muster her courage, "Little bunnies are so cute, I want to play with them. Little bunnies are so cute, I don't want to eat them…"

All of a sudden, a fierce looking 3rd rank profound beast had suddenly emerged from the forest and it was staring murderous at Little Xuefeng.

Little Xuefeng was frightened when she saw this profound beast as it was 5 times her small height and it also had sharp fangs.

Without a word, this fierce looking 3rd rank profound beast charged at Little Xuefeng immediately and rammed her against a huge tree with a thunderous impact.

Just as the profound beast had thought that the little human child was dead for sure, Little Xuefeng kicked the 3rd rank profound beast high into the air.

This profound beast actually weighted a half a ton and even strong cultivators would barely be able to lift it.

Just like that, Little Xuefeng had kicked the profound beast high up into the air as she picked herself up harmlessly, "Naughty beast. You don't try to hurt my little bunny and me."

The profound beast soon crashed mightily onto the ground.

Shocked, the limped profound beast quickly escaped back to the deep forest.

Little Xuefeng continued to walk nonchalantly as she continued to look for her missing parents.

As she wandered for another one hour, she saw her parents Ye Fan and Fairy Xuan Xuefeng panicky rushing to her side and they were picking her up.

Fairy Xuan Xuefeng quickly carried Little Xuefeng to her bosoms as she said anxiously, "Little Xuefeng, we are so worried about you. You must have a great scare. We are so sorry that we have left you alone…"

Ye Fan was also heaving a soft sigh of relief, "It is a good thing that we have found her in a nick of a time or else Little Xuefeng would be food for the profound beasts in the forest."

Little Xuefeng protested immediately, "But Papa, I am not scare."

Ye Fan patted Little Xuefeng's head, "Our Little Xuefeng is so sensible and did not want us to worry. It is really our fault."

Little Xuefeng rolled her eyes as she continued to protest strongly, "I am not scare."

But Ye Fan and Fairy Xuan Xuefeng continued to hug her and showered her with affections as they said together, "We have finally found her…"

Ye Fan and Fairy Xuan Xuefeng were both looking a little flustered; it was because they were copulating so passionately that they had forgotten about Little Xuanfeng. 

And when they had finished with their business, they were horrified to find that Little Xuefeng was missing. 

And hence, they quickly searched the vicinity for her.

Luckily, Ye Fan was a pretty good tracker and he managed to find Little Xuefeng safe and sound.

Just as Fairy Xuan Xueqi and Ye Fan were about to leave this place and to return to the free trading city of Anthryl, a tremor could be felt under their feet and it startled them.

This was followed by several strong earthquakes that rocked the forest.

All of a sudden, the heavens began to turn pink and there were several rainbows. Powerful shockwaves of profound spiritual energies were also emanating from the pinkish heavens. 

Ye Fan was greatly startled at the celestial changes that in the heavens, "What is that?"

Fairy Xuan Xueqi quickly moved her fingers rapidly to perform an augury and before long she was smiling, "This is actually a good omen, Ye Fan."

"A good omen?" Ye Fan was puzzled.

Fairy Xuan Xueqi nodded as she looked at the pinkish heavens, "This is an auspicious phenomenon from the heavens above. In a week's time, a Dao Fruit would descend in this vicinity. As for its exact location, no one knows."

Ye Fan was further startled, "A Dao Fruit?! I have heard that a Dao Fruit could increase one's cultivation realm and even increases the potential of the cultivator. This is a most, most valuable profound treasure that a cultivator can dream of and it isn't something that can found in most trials."

Fairy Xuan Xueqi nodded, "That is right. A Dao Fruit is a most wondrous treasure that can be obtained by a cultivator."

Ye Fan said, "Then I must lay my hands on it."

Fairy Xuan Xueqi smiled, "I am afraid that this auspicious omen is already known for hundreds of miles by now. Very soon, thousands of cultivators from all the nearby and even faraway cultivation sects will be gathering in this place to obtain the Dao Fruit. Because this place is a borderland, I won't be surprised to see the cultivators from the other celestial alliances coming here as well. And then there will be a nasty fight for the precious Dao Fruit. I think that we have no chance to obtain it."

Ye Fan shook his head, "Xueqi, I must obtain it. I know that there will probably be many saints and other powerful figures that will be coming to this place but I must obtain it…"

"You can cultivate slowly. I really do not mind. You don't have to prove your worthiness to me or to my papa." Fairy Xuan Xueqi smiled at him. "You are already my lord and papa to our Little Xuefeng."

Ye Fan shook his head as he looked tenderly at Fairy Xuan Xueqi, "It isn't for me. I want to obtain this Dao Fruit for my Xueqi. Since this Dao Fruit can increase one's cultivation realm and strength, then it may push your cultivation to beyond the 6th realm cultivation. Then your poisons will be purged completely."

Fairy Xuan Xueqi gasped softly, "But it is only a possibility. It may even be a waste on me."

Ye Fan said firmly, "This is a possibility that we have to try. I can only extend my Xueqi's life with the profound medicines but I really want to purge your poisons completely. Even if it doesn't work, the Dao Fruit will still be quite useful to extending your life."

Fairy Xuan Xueqi looked away, "This… Ye Fan. I don't know what to say. But it is really alright. We simply don't have the chance against the saints and great saints of the various cultivation sects. You will only be putting yourself at a risk for offending them."

Ye Fan shook his head firmly, "I know that there will be a blood bath but I am not giving up any chance of obtaining a cure for you. I have to try."

Fairy Xuan Xueqi: …

Not far away from Ye Fan and Fairy Xuan Xueqi, a white bearded man had casually concealed himself on a tree branch and he was watching them.

He was indeed Ji Yuan and Fairy Xuan Xueqi's father.

"I may be wrong about this Ye Fan. And also, this Little Xuefeng is actually a god beast."

Then he was frowning unhappily, "How dare he banged my daughter in the forest… this bastard…"
