The Dao Fruit is Descending (1)

The next day.

The day when the Dao Fruit was supposed to descend. 

Ye Fan had spent the whole of last night to purge some of the toxins from his Xueqi with the new profound medicines that he had obtained, using his Omnipotent Immortal Force. 

And now he had had just finished carving his wooden doll and he was passing it to Little Xuefeng.

"Papa, who is this ugly person that you carve again?"

Ye Fan: …

Fairy Xuan Xueqi: …

Ye Fan said weakly as he rubbed Little Xuefeng's head, "One day, you will know. Haha…" 

But he quickly said to her, "Papa and Mama will be out later. Stay in your room and plenty of foods will be delivered to you in our absence."

"Alright Papa," Little Xuefeng giggled softly as she played with the wooden doll. 

Fairy Xuan Xueqi asked Ye Fan with a wryly smile, "So, do you have a plan for today? Do you want to set off to the mountains first?"

Ye Fan smiled as he looked out from the window, "It is going to be extremely crowded today and we won't make any progress even if we set off now. The smarter ones have their own flying mounts and profound ships or are already camping outside the city."

Outside the window, streams of cultivators were eagerly pushing each other on the streets to exit the city.

Fairy Xuan Xueqi chuckled softly, "Won't it be funny if the Dao Fruit descends in the city instead of the wilderness? Then everyone would be trying to get back into the city and then they would discover to their horror that the city gates are shut instead?"

Ye Fan smiled, "Indeed, this may be a possibility."

Although Ye Fan was looking casual but he was actually thinking how he could obtain the Dao Fruit for his Xueqi instead.

The reason why he was not rushing was because he knows that it was not so easy to obtain the Dao Fruit and there would be a fierce fight for it.

As a weaker cultivator, Ye Fan was unable to contest with the stronger cultivators and he would only adopt a wait and see approach first.

But one thing had puzzled him and he did not want to ask his Xueqi since she was not willing to help him.

He just could not understand why Senior Ji Yuan was not willing to help his own daughter and he was nonchalant about it.

In fact, both Senior Ji Yuan and his Xueqi were both casual about it.

But to Ye Fan, it was a life and death thing; if he could not purge the toxins from Fairy Xuan Xueqi then she would eventually die.

How could a father be so casual about his daughter's death?

At first, he had thought that Senior Ye Fan and his Xueqi had a misunderstanding and they were quite cold to each other.

However their conversations with each other revealed that they were actually quite close to each other and that Senior Ji Yuan seemed to be rather afraid of his Xueqi instead. 

Rather than saying that he was afraid of his own daughter, it was more accurate to say that his actions showed that he had actually cared for the feelings of his daughter. 

It was this part that he could not understand.

If Senior Ji Yuan cared for his own daughter, then why didn't he offer a helping hand to save his daughter instead?

Instead he was acting like he did not care for his Xueqi's condition and he was not even bothered by it.

The most mysterious was of course his Xueqi of course for it seemed to him that she would force Senior Ji Yuan to help her anytime and yet, she did not ask for her father's aid.

It was as though that she did not care for her own death and Senior Ji Yuan did not care for it as well.

Actually, Fairy Xuan Xueqi knows what Ye Fan was thinking. After all, she had been with him for a hundred years now and she knows his every nuance. She even knows him better than he knows himself.

She knows that Ye Fan must be wondering why her papa did not give her a helping hand and acted like he did not care for her condition.

But as she was under the powerful restrictive law of her trial, she would not tell Ye Fan about it because the current her was but a dream to her real body. 

She did not expect for her papa to appear in this place and moreover, he was quite serious about carrying his threats to test Ye Fan.

This was naturally her mother consort and mama's idea as well. 

When she was in meditation, her consciousness would return to her real body and she had confronted her mama about it.

"Do you know that papa is now at Anthryl?" 

Her mother consort Xuan Qiaoqiao simply smiled, "I know and so is that Great Saintess Chen Yuyan."

And she had repeated her warnings to Fairy Xuan Xueqi that day, "When the time comes for Ye Fan to met that Great Saintess Chen Yuyan, you will be hurt by him. This Great Saintess Chen Yuyan has already perfected the art of seduction. Only the Charming Saintess Luo Yingying may be her equal in this. My child, true love must be unhurried." 

Fairy Xuan Xueqi hummed coldly, "Recall papa immediately. He is screwing me with his presence. I didn't think that the two of you had actually asked the Great Virtuous Saintess Qin Qifen to seduce Ye Fan. Amazing, amazing." 

Xuan Qiaoqiao smiled playfully, "Don't worry about your papa. He is the Romantic Sword God anyway. He won't be in danger unless he encounters the Charming Saintess Luo Yingying or the Holy Saintess Chen Yuyan."

Fairy Xuan Xueqi said with disbelief, "I am actually not worried for my papa. I am worried that papa may overplay his hands. And you ought to worry as well."

Xuan Qiaoqiao asked curiously, "Why do you say so?"

Fairy Xuan Xueqi smiled bitterly, "Because half of the time, all his plans will backfire somehow."

Xuan Qiaoqiao: …

Back to the present.

All of a sudden, the entire heavens had turned pink and red in broad daylight, startling all the onlookers!

"It must be the Dao Fruit that is descending!"

"The Dao Fruit is appearing now…"

"I can feel a powerful profound aura gathering in the heavens above…"

"The skies have turned crimson…"

Even Ye Fan was startled by the strange sight of this phenomenon and he was gasping, "The Dao Fruit is finally descending…"
