Chapter 1155 - 615: Putting on a Show
－－－－Shui Yun’s Talk Box－－－
Today, four updates to pay off the first Immortal Flower Fate debt owed to Haha Lila. There is another Immortal Flower Fate of Haha Lila, and the He Shi Bi debts of Lord Kam, Mi Chun, mao875160, Ice Green Lady 1, Yao Si 1124, totaling 10 updates. For now, let’s remember it; Shui Yun is about to cough up blood and die.

After taking a bath, she felt slightly more invigorated, so Changtian intended to send her back to the room. Soft pleas could be heard beside her ears: "My hair is damp; I can’t lie down."
Both of their hair hung wet, with a touch of moisture.
"Just dry it off in the room. Outside, it’s freezing; you still want to go out?" His voice carried a hint of resentment.
"I’ve been lying down for many days; the windows in the room are shut tight and stuffy. Take me out for some sun." Though the high bed with a soft pillow offers comfort, lying too long makes her bones feel stiff.
Her eyes showed a familiar pleading look, almost wagging a tail behind her.
Changtian remained noncommittal, still walking briskly toward Yixian Inn.
Ning Xiaoxian pouted discontentedly, thinking this man was truly heartless.
Then Changtian returned inside to fetch a fox fur cloak, planning to wrap her, yet lowered his head to see her blushing and grinding her teeth. He pinched her cheek and said, "Are you badmouthing me behind my back again? Do you still want to go out?" The touch was nice, so he pinched her once more.
She immediately smiled sweetly, not caring about the trace of pain on her face: "Yes!"
He helplessly sighed: "Where do you want to go? Everywhere is snow; any forest is the same."
She pondered seriously and said, "In the forest’s central part, there is a valley full of firewood, with a small waterfall inside. When I first entered Hidden Stream, I often went there to play; do you remember?"
He naturally remembered. That valley was in the eastern part of Bashe Forest, abundant with firewood. This peculiar tree species is almost unique to Bashe Forest, growing only in areas rich in geothermal resources, with trunks, branches, and even fruits in autumn being vibrant bright yellow, like the color of a flame’s core. Once felled, the firewood remains warm year-round; its fruits resemble blazing fire, thrown on the ground with crackling sounds like firecrackers.
If not for the limited output of this valley, Ning Xiaoxian would truly want to develop this lumber, as it self-heats and is a boon against winter cold. Especially for women prone to cold, having a piece of firewood to warm their abdomen during periods can ease their monthly pains significantly.
In such icy weather, the forest everywhere shows a scenery of snow-laden branches, monotonous and uniform, indeed making this valley’s view unique.
Yet, there... He was about to refuse, looked down and saw her expectant eyes, and how could he utter the words "no"?
He wrapped her snugly, using Divine Skills, and in the next instant, they disappeared from the spot. He was the lord of the entire Bashe Forest, nourished by the Power of Growth from Ba Snake for tens of thousands of years. He moved freely between mountain ranges, surpassingly faster than ordinary cultivators. While Qi Zai might take half a day to travel from Yixian Inn to Huomu Valley, for Changtian, it barely took over a quarter-hour.
She curled up, warm and safe under the protection of Changtian Divine Power, watching the surrounding scenery blur again, then transform into simple lines thrown behind them. She lightly sighed; the God Realm was indeed a realm she could not comprehend. She pondered what kind of profound mystery the True God Realm higher up held.
She couldn’t help but ask, "Changtian, after taking the Dao Fruit and wandering the Small Thousand World, was it very beneficial for you? Others go for half a year; you went for an entire year, so probably your gains were much bigger, right?"
"Yes. Perhaps not long now, before I can knock on the True God Realm’s door."
She exclaimed with joy: "So soon?"
He pursed his lips: "Soon? Over thirty thousand years ago, I reached the God Realm. I’ve sat idly in the God Demon Prison for so long, not all suffering without a gain." At his realm, cultivation progress was already slow; what mattered next was the mental state and perspective.
In his youth, he lacked restraint and was too arrogant, deserving numerous years of prison tribulation. The days of confinement in God Demon Prison were his lonely practice of honing willpower and resisting Heart Demons. By chance, he obtained the Dao Fruit and utilized the Heavenly Dao Power to travel through three thousand Small Worlds; this time, he gained the most precious insight. After this journey, he finally understood that his decades-old life had been confined by narrow knowledge, unaware of worlds beyond Heaven.
