Chapter 677 - The Moment A Soul Entered (1/2)
…
“Alright!”
Ye Xiao replied and followed the two of them towards the parasol tree that the Phoenix Empress was previously at.
However, at that moment, he suddenly thought of a problem.
The two of them had not seen each other for a long time and he did not seem to have brought any gifts.
As a man, it seemed a little inappropriate.
With that thought in mind, he searched through his storage ring to see if he could find some good things.
Finally, when he arrived in front of the Phoenix Empress’s parasol tree, he finally found a very good natural treasure.
It was a 90,000-year-old multi-colored immortal orchid. It emitted nine-colored rays of light, and all of the rays of light carried an auspicious aura. It was the unique principle of heaven and earth after cultivating for too long.
To a woman with extremely profound cultivation, it could be considered a great tonic.
“Son-in-law, we’re here.”
The two guards opened their mouths and made a welcoming gesture. Ye Xiao nodded and walked in.
There were many changes in the Phoenix Empress’s room compared to the past.
In the past, her room was entirely black with some gold mixed in. Although it looked dignified, there was not a trace of warmth.
At the moment, there was actually some pink in her room.
As expected, falling in love can make a woman feel younger.
He walked to the deepest part of the room, and a peerlessly beautiful face came into view.
Although he was completely immersed in the martial arts and was not too interested in chasing women, the Phoenix Empress was, after all, the only woman he had ever had a relationship with in his past and present life. After he saw her, Ye Xiao inexplicably felt as if he had let down all his guard.
No wonder people often said that home was a tender place, a hero’s tomb!
In front of a woman, especially his own woman, it was as if a man would let go of all his persistence, relax everything, and reveal his most true self.
“Long time no see.”
Ye Xiao said with a faint smile. The Phoenix Empress’s eyes were slightly moist. Women were different from men. It was very difficult for a man to wholeheartedly think about a woman when he was out fighting. However, in a woman’s world, she would constantly worry about the man who belonged to her in the back of her mind.
Other than that, whatever power that overflowed the heavens and what martial art supremacy was, they were all just floating clouds.
“You’re so heartless. You’ve clearly become an immortal for so long, yet you still haven’t gone to the immortal world to look for me.”
Ye Xiao was rather embarrassed.
“I’m not like you. If you go to the immortal world, the Phoenix immortal sect would protect you. I still have to fight to survive when I go to the immortal world. There are so many high-level cultivators in the immortal world. If someone were to kill me, wouldn’t I be too unlucky?
“Therefore, I’ll first cultivate here for a period of time to raise my standards before going to the immortal world.”
“You can come to the Phoenix immortal sect. I’ll protect you.”
“I’m a man after all. It’s too embarrassing to live off a woman.”
The key was that Ye Xiao knew that the Phoenix Empress went to the immortal world when she was not an Imperial Immortal yet. She had to start from scratch. Why should he drag her down?
However, those words made Feng Nishang laugh.
“I couldn’t tell that your skin was quite thin. Hehehe…”
“Let’s not talk about this anymore. It’s been so long since we last met. I’ve meticulously prepared a little gift for you.”
As he said that, Ye Xiao took out the multi-colored immortal orchid.
When the Phoenix Empress saw the multi-colored immortal orchid, her beautiful eyes instantly widened as she looked at Ye Xiao in disbelief.
“My God, this is… This is a multi-colored immortal orchid, and it’s even 90,000 years old! Where did you get this thing?”
“I got it by luck.”
Although the two of them were lovers and had already completed the life handover procedures, Ye Xiao did not expose the fact that Li Si had ransacked the immemorial almighty figure’s tomb.
Who knew if the cultivators of the Phoenix immortal sect would search the Phoenix Empress’s memories in the future?
If that matter were to spread out, it would be a huge problem.
Perhaps the entire immortal world would want to chop her up.
“Ye Xiao, this thing is too valuable. I can’t take it. If you use it to cultivate, you’ll definitely be able to raise your cultivation by quite a lot very quickly.”
“Take it. I still have a little. The effect is the best when you eat the first pill. If you eat too much, it’ll be wasted.”
Hearing that, the Phoenix Empress put it away as if it was a treasure.
She was a little touched and said,
“It must have been very difficult for you to obtain this thing, right?”
Ye Xiao nodded.
“It was indeed very difficult. I spent a lot of effort and narrowly escaped death. I almost lost my life. But in the end, fortunately, I got it.”
Hearing that, the Phoenix Empress was even more touched.
She did not expect that the treasure he had spent so much effort and went through so much danger to obtain would be given to her in the blink of an eye.
It was not a waste for her to be infatuated with him and miss him every day in the Phoenix immortal sect.
“I heard from the Great Qin immortal sect that you obtained the inheritance of the Imperial Immortal of the Phoenix immortal sect, so your cultivation base should be very strong now, right?”
The Phoenix Empress nodded.
“That’s true. My current cultivation has already advanced to the peak of the second-level Great Immortal realm and will soon reach the third-level Great Immortal realm before advancing to the Imperial Immortal realm.”
“Amazing!”
“No, it’s mainly because that senior Imperial Immortal’s strength is too strong. She’s already a top-tier cultivator at the third-level Imperial Immortal realm. That’s why the inheritance she gave me allowed me to improve so quickly.”
…
It suddenly fell silent. The two of them had not seen each other for too long. Ye Xiao was not the kind of warm-hearted man, and the Phoenix Empress was not the kind of person who would coddle a little bird. Hence, the two of them did not get intimate with each other.
Moreover, it was broad daylight. No matter how hard the two of them fought, they were too embarrassed to have any in-depth exchanges.
“That… Did you eat it?”
