The Way of The Dao

Ling Tian left the house quietly, while it was still time to meet this person. He walked a long way before drawing his sword and flying off into the sky.

On the way he could not help but think of all he had learned about this place.

People did not know if there really were other cities besides the star city. He did not see any signs of cities or human settlements when he was flying in the daytime looking for the teleportation areas.

It seemed that this continent was really very small and the star city was the only human settlement he knew of. Unless there were other cities where Ling Tian had not arrived, star city would be the only city.

Ling Tian didn't know how long it had been since he woke up in this lower world. Perhaps decades, centuries or even millennia had passed in the immortal world. The laws of time and space seemed to be different on any world.

To dismiss those thoughts and focus on the present, Ling Tian shook his head to stop thinking about those problems. One day, he would find a way back to the immortal world.

Ling Tian flew around the star city before heading out through a forest.

He descended silently near the foliage of some trees and began to walk.

After releasing his spiritual sense, he walked in the direction of a specific place.

Crack

He made a noise as he stepped on various branches to report his presence.

Once he arrived, he saw her.

That beautiful immortal fairy cold as the night was in front of him, waiting for his arrival.

The cold woman had her eyes narrowed as she took the sword in her hands and prepared for any situation that might occur. Once she knew it was him, she relaxed her guard and lowered her blade.

Ling Tian smiled softly as he saw her wonderful image combined with the elegance of the night, while the moonlight added a cold, immortal charm. It even seemed as if she had dressed in a robe that made her beauty even more apparent.

He approached a few meters away from her and said: "Oh, beautiful fairy, sorry if you've been waiting for me for a long time, I was busy doing some things, hehe"

The confusion briefly appeared in the eyes of the cold woman when she heard Ling Tian call her a beautiful fairy. A faint, barely detectable blush appeared on her cheeks when she quickly responded with a low voice: "D-don't worry, I didn't wait long..."

Ling Tian had observed that blush and said nothing, while forming a wry smile within himself.

Ling Tian walked over and was almost in front of her, then slowly extended his hand as if waiting to get something.

The cold woman hesitated for a moment before reaching out and letting him grab her wrist.

Ling Tian gently grabbed her delicate wrist and released his spiritual sense to check her meridians while he focused on it.

While he was in the process of checking the state of her body, he asked her: "Did you get a good rest? Or did you feel something strange in your body?"

The cold woman nodded softly and said, "En. Thanks to your medicine, I was able to rest very well. Thank you..." a trace of a faint undetectable smile formed at the corner of her thin, delicate cherry lips.

The cold woman suffered mostly at night, when the cold attacked her body and she could rarely rest well.

Yesterday when she returned in the evening she did as he asked, to which she took the medicine and went to bed. She slept peacefully that night without any trace of pain. It was the first night she could rest so calmly and deeply. This young man in front of her had given her a comforting peace.

Ling Tian nodded as a trace of a smile appeared on his face. He had added one more ingredient to the medicine to repair her meridians. This would have the effect of calming the cold generated by the meridians while healing them. So she was able to rest quietly without the cold affecting her. But this was only a temporary solution that could last a week at most. If she did not cultivate the special proper technique, the medicine would lose its effect and the cold would hit her even more.

Ling Tian realized that her meridians had been restored to just over 80%. She still had a little way to go before she could fully recover and enter the path of cultivation.

When Ling Tian released the cold woman's wrist, she let out a slight mew of disappointment as she quickly covered her mouth and her cheeks blushed. Although she did not know why, she felt comfortable with the warmth coming from the young man in front of her. Therefore, she could not help but groan as the heat left her body.

Ling Tian flashed a playful smile, making this beautiful, cold woman blush a bit more.

'It seems she's not really such a cold woman after all.' He thought to himself.

What Ling Tian did not know, was that, this cold woman did not blush at all, in fact, she had never blushed before. It was her first time. Despite being cold, a woman's natural shyness cannot go unnoticed.

Ling Tian took the porcelain bottle from his space ring and handed it to the cold woman. He had made the medicine when he was teaching Mu Shuiruo, so he put it away to give it to her later.

The cold woman still took it with a slight blush as she calmed down and returned to her cold attitude. But it was not the coldness like the first time he met Ling Tian. It seemed to be a natural coldness that came from her character.

The cold woman was a little surprised to see the porcelain bottle appear out of nowhere, but she quickly calmed down. She had seen this young man appear out of nowhere before, so she got used to it a bit.

Ling Tian did not hide the existence of his space ring from her. He had to explain to her about the cultivation, so anything related to it, she would know. Inevitably a karmic bond would form with her, as he would embark her on the path of cultivation himself.

Ling Tian spoke slowly: "Your body is recovering, but you have to keep taking this medicine. Once your body has fully recovered, I will teach you a method to stop suffering from the cold and help you gain more strength."

The cold woman nodded in recognition while she looked directly into his eyes and said in a slightly trembling, melodious voice, "Th-thank you for helping me. Anything you need, don't hesitate to ask..." The blush returned slightly to her glass cheeks.

Ling Tian smiled as he watched her behavior: "It is nothing, do not worry... Helping a beautiful fairy is every man's pleasure, hehe" he said the latter playfully as he looked up at the moon amidst the sea of stars.

The face of the cold woman blushed.

"Xin..."

"Mmm?"

A faint murmur was heard in the middle of the night. Ling Tian raised his eyebrows when he could not hear properly what she said. He turned his gaze toward this heavenly woman as he watched her blush even more, adding a touch of fascination and intoxication to the soul as he observed the beauty of this work of art.

"Yun Mengxin... you can call me Mengxin..."
