Chapter 1449: Chapter 1486: Boyfriend and Girlfriend
At night, the sky had already darkened. After a few cultivators from the caravan were left to stand guard, everyone else went into their tents to rest.
Before long, the faint lights in the tents were extinguished one by one, and everyone had started to rest thoroughly. However, only two tents still had lights on, one of which was Ding Fan’s. Ding Fan was currently engrossed in practicing his swordsmanship and fist technique, showing no signs of sleepiness.
So Ding Fan kept an oil lamp lit as he sat cross-legged and trained. He knew they were deep in the woods, and while there might be fewer Yuan Beasts during the day, there were certainly more at night. Thus, keeping the lamp on was also a precaution against any sneaky attacks from the Yuan Beasts, and it served to alert and drive them away.
The tent next to Ding Fan’s had gone dark early; Chai Er had gone to bed earlier, as she was a bit tired these days. After completing several cycles of cultivation, Ding Fan couldn’t help but glance at Chai Er’s tent with concern. Seeing everything was fine, he relaxed. But when his gaze shifted to the outside tents, Ding Fan’s brow slightly furrowed.
Besides his own tent, there was another one with a dimly lit oil lamp, the light exuding a somewhat ambiguous undertone in the night.
"It’s getting late; let’s go to bed," Tong Xie said, a trace of lasciviousness fleetingly passing through his eyes as he spoke to Wu Qianwen.
"Alright, then I’ll go back..." Wu Qianwen replied, looking at Tong Xie with love in her eyes.
"Don’t go back! Since we’re already a couple, shouldn’t we sleep together?" Tong Xie interrupted Wu Qianwen, his face seemingly calm, but his eyes flashing a hint of burning desire.
"Ah, isn’t this inappropriate..." Wu Qianwen hesitated upon hearing Tong Xie’s words, her face showing a bit of embarrassment. Evidently, Wu Qianwen had never slept with a man before, so the suggestion left her flustered, unsure of what to do.
"Don’t worry! Now that you’re my girlfriend, I’ll be responsible for you. You’ll be the woman I love most, and the only one..."
Tong Xie appeared to speak with deep affection as he moved slowly closer to Wu Qianwen. Before long, their lips met, and Wu Qianwen felt a tremor run through her body, wanting to back away, but with Tong Xie’s swift advance, she soon found herself cornered in the tent, her body becoming a bit stiff...
"Don’t... This is my first time..."
Wu Qianwen said, a bit embarrassed, wanting to refuse but unsure of how to express it. Deep down, she felt there was nothing to refuse him for, yet something seemed off, though she couldn’t figure out what it was.
"I’ll love you forever... Give me your first time..." Tong Xie said, noticing her hesitation, as he adeptly whispered sweet nothings, causing Wu Qianwen to soften before long. Hearing his words, she believed he truly loved her; giving her first to a man she loved, and who loved her in return, wasn’t this the love she had always desired?
Soon, Wu Qianwen and Tong Xie became entangled... The moonlight outside was incredibly clear, and the light in Tong Xie’s tent remained ambiguously lit until dawn...
The next day.
After a night of cultivation, Ding Fan slowly opened his eyes, feeling thoroughly relaxed and refreshed. For cultivators, cultivation was the best form of rest. Even with just a few hours, it could rejuvenate a weary body, making it feel light and comfortable.
Ding Fan exited his tent and took in the fresh air. When he glanced at the tent of Tong Xie with its dim lighting, he let out a soft sigh...
Ding Fan couldn’t help but feel a bit of sorrow for Wu Qianwen, but ultimately, it was Wu Qianwen’s affair, something beyond his right to interfere. He had done what he could, had warned her, but it was to no avail, so there was nothing more he could do...
Soon, the forest was painted with the first light of dawn, and the group continued their journey.
After this brief period of training, Ding Fan clearly had gained a deeper understanding of the "Wind-like Sword Technique." He was confident that when he next performed that fourth Chapter of swordsmanship, it would be even more smooth and fluid, without leaving any traces, achieving an effect of unexpected surprise.
As for the Dragon Capturing Palm in the "Mortal Fist," Ding Fan had become more adept in its use, capable of executing it at will without any trouble. Along the journey, Ding Fan did nothing else but practiced his fist and sword techniques, clearly prioritizing the enhancement of his skills.
...
At this moment, Wu Qianwen and Tong Xie rode side by side on horseback. Wu Qianwen’s love for Tong Xie visibly intensified, having given her first time to him, leaving her heart solely with him, unable to hold anyone else.
Yet, along the journey, Wu Qianwen noticed a strange feeling creeping in as she looked at Tong Xie. She felt that he seemed much colder to her than before. However, when she spoke to him, he always responded with loving words, giving no hint of any issue.
At this moment, Tong Xie was no longer willing to initiate conversation with Wu Qianwen. Wu Qianwen didn’t mind much, after all, if the other person had ever been in love with her for a lifetime, and if the other person was that outstanding—not only very handsome in appearance but also superior in cultivation—it was important that his background was not something an ordinary cultivator could compare with.
Therefore, Wu Qianwen felt very content in her heart; clearly having such a boyfriend made her very satisfied.
Throughout the journey, Wu Qianwen frequently looked at Tong Xie with deep affection and said something, to which Tong Xie responded a few times, but clearly without the enthusiasm he used to have for Wu Qianwen before, clearly no longer being as attentive as before. Everything seemed to have changed, but the change was not so evident, Wu Qianwen naturally sensed it only a little and didn’t take it seriously.
The group traveled for several days, and except for cultivating, Ding Fan had nothing else to do. Chai Er also followed Ding Fan to cultivate together, after all, she was also a cultivator, and obviously, for cultivators, the most important thing is to cultivate and enhance their strength as only with strong power can one live the life they want in the Cultivation World.
For Chai Er, it was evidently very enjoyable to cultivate with Ding Fan today, continuing to chat with Ding Fan from time to time, so with Chai Er by his side, Ding Fan didn’t feel bored at all. Clearly, these few days passed quickly.
Meanwhile, Ding Fan secretly observed Tong Xie and Wu Qianwen during these days, although Ding Fan had no way to control Wu Qianwen, he regarded Wu Zun as a friend, and no matter what, Wu Zun’s daughter needed looking after.
Ding Fan noticed that during these days, Tong Xie was becoming increasingly indifferent to Wu Qianwen, but when night fell, Tong Xie would become very enthusiastic, spending night after night with Wu Qianwen until dawn, which made Ding Fan feel helpless, but he didn’t deem it appropriate to say anything...
At this moment, Wu Qianwen also felt somewhat resistant to Tong Xie, clearly unwilling to sleep with Tong Xie every night, but she was helpless due to his strong requests. Furthermore, Wu Qianwen only had time at night to chat happily with Tong Xie, so she agreed to him every night, and this continued for several days.
Now Wu Qianwen was also somewhat accustomed to being together at night, clearly during the day the two of them hardly spoke...
One day, Ding Fan suddenly noticed someone in the distance slaying a Yuan Beast. Ding Fan glanced at the Yuan Beast and realized it was a Peak Seventh Grade Yuan Beast. Ding Fan was slightly surprised, clearly not expecting such a powerful Yuan Beast to appear here.
We need to know that Seventh Grade Yuan Beasts are already extremely powerful, equivalent to cultivators at the Spirit Severing Stage, which are entities regular cultivators can’t handle. Even Ding Fan wasn’t absolutely confident about killing that Seventh Grade Yuan Beast; Ding Fan could deal with the weaker Seventh Grade Yuan Beasts, but not the stronger ones.
Be aware that those stronger Seventh Grade Yuan Beasts are such formidable enemies that even Spirit Severing Stage cultivators can’t defeat them, and perhaps only Spirit Severing Late Stage cultivators could manage them!
At this moment, Chai Er noticed Ding Fan’s slightly grave face and curiously asked:
"What’s wrong, Brother Lin?"
"Be careful, there’s a powerful Yuan Beast ahead!"
Ding Fan directly reminded the other. At this moment, some cultivators in the caravan inadvertently heard Ding Fan’s words and found them laughable; everything seemed normal, without even a sound from a Yuan Beast, where would there be any powerful Yuan Beast? Several cultivators looked at Ding Fan with disdain.
Of course, Ding Fan wouldn’t care about those people, as those cultivators were merely at the Nascent Soul Stage, and it was perfectly natural for them not to notice.
But at this moment, the Clothed Elder in the caravan also heard Ding Fan’s words, was slightly stunned, and couldn’t help but frown. Clearly, the elder hadn’t noticed any powerful Yuan Beast nearby; bewildered that even he hadn’t detected the Yuan Beast’s presence, yet the young man could? That was a bit too far-fetched, and the elder clearly didn’t believe Ding Fan.
However, moments later, the elder’s brow furrowed deeply, and he was greatly shocked. Waving his arm immediately, the entire caravan came to a halt. Although Tong Xie looked like the leader walking ahead, everyone knew the Clothed Elder was the true head of this caravan; even Tong Xie had to listen to the elder, but the elder rarely spoke most of the time, largely deferring to Tong Xie. The elder’s main task was to ensure the boy’s safety.
But when the elder spoke, it certainly indicated something significant was happening; clearly, everyone noticed the elder stopping the caravan, and immediately, everyone halted their steps. At this moment, Tong Xie saw the elder’s gesture, instantly stopping, and nervously asked:
"Old Fang, what’s the situation?"
The elder heard Tong Xie’s question and replied with a grave expression:
"There’s a Seventh Grade Yuan Beast ahead; everyone be cautious! Approach slowly!"
At this moment, everyone inhaled deeply, shocked, clearly not expecting such a terrifying occurrence where a Seventh Grade Yuan Beast appeared!
