Ch. 37: Birth Of Crimson Jade Fairy

On the cloudy noon of the 93rd day since Chen Fan brought Tang Hongyu to the universe within the Cosmic Brick…

Chen Fan was doing something on the terrace. His hand, which was holding a pencil, was writing something on brown rough wooden paper on the table. The paper and the pencil were something he made in his spare time.

With his eidetic memory and perfect memory recall, he could recall trivia from the internet that he had glimpsed in his past life. One of those seemingly inane trivia was how to make paper and pencils.

Who would have thought it would be useful?

In any case, he was doodling a scheme for Formation Arrays. He would use the perfected arrays to build convenient household appliances such as a stove, a cooler, a washing machine, an air conditioner, etc.

Although he could recreate the effect of the household appliances using his Qi, he wanted to make his daily life easier and more comfortable. They were called convenient household appliances for a reason, after all.

Chen Fan knew how to create arrays from the knowledge he received from the old man that sent him here. These arrays were made from combining mysterious symbols according to a certain formula.

The symbols draw the mysterious power from the source somewhere in the vast multiverse. There are a limitless number of mysterious symbols, each one holding the meaning of a concept.

Like programming, there's a rigid rule to follow. Still, the potential of Formation Arrays is limitless because they depend on your creativity.

"Darling."

Chen Fan paused his work after Tang Hongyu came out of the house and called him.

"Yes?"

He replied after turning to her.

At this moment, Tang Hongyu was wearing her casual attire, consisting of a pink top and tights that stopped just below her knees.

By the way, he was wearing a light green short-sleeved button-up shirt and gray pants.

Tang Hongyu didn't immediately say what she wanted. She glanced at the paper on the table instead.

"How far is your progress in your project?"

"I'm almost done. By the way, why are you looking for me?"

"I think I'm ready to advance my cultivation."

Chen Fan put down his pencil and became contemplative after hearing her words. On the other hand, Tang Hongyu waited for his response patiently.

"I see," he finally responded. "I guess you need my help in reforming your body."

Tang Hongyu nodded with a hint of embarrassment, her cheeks blushing faintly. Then, she started talking while twirling her long side bang with her finger.

"I'm not confident doing it alone. The next step seems extremely dangerous, after all."

Not only talent is required to embark on the Dao of Immortality but it is also a difficult journey full of obstacles. Talent, willpower, and fortune are important to make the journey smooth.

Tang Hongyu didn't only lack talent but also lacked the willpower required to walk this arduous path. This was given since her reason for stepping in Dao of Immortality was superficial.

Despite severely lacking in talent and willpower, her fortune was extremely good. This could be seen in how smooth her progress in Dao of Immortality with the help of Chen Fan.

If those cultivators who walked on this dangerous path knew how disgustingly good her fortune was, they would become green in envy!

However, if they knew the true reason behind Tang Hongyu's good fortune, well…

"I had to bet my life to get a rare opportunity, but she got the favor from a powerful senior just because this senior is a pervert! Lucky bitch! Why wasn't I born as a beautiful woman who took the interest of a powerful senior?! Heaven, why are you so unfair!"

Some male cultivators might have such a thought…

"Hey, I'm pretty! I am even called a fairy! Would that senior help me if I become his concubine? I don't mind spreading my legs for him if it means a smooth sailing to ascend and become an immortal! What? You asked me if I have shame?! What's that? Can it help you become immortal?"

And some female cultivators might have such a thought…

Regardless, let's return to Chen Fan and Tang Hongyu…

"You're right. It is dangerous." Chen Fan agreed with a nod after he was done with his contemplation.

"So? Would you help me?" Tang Hongyu asked with an adorable pleading look.

Chen Fan smiled in amusement. Even so, he replied after a moment.

"You're my woman, Hongyu. I will not leave you in danger. Of course, I will help you."

Tang Hongyu smiled sweetly and hugged him. She also kissed his cheeks and lips.

After that, Chen Fan brought them back to the topic of their discussion.

"Still, I have been waiting for you to talk about this matter early. I have sensed that your Cultivation Base has met the requirement around a week ago."

Tang Hongyu had an awkward look after hearing his words.

"Um… I have been gathering my courage. The idea of destroying my body before reforming it seems scary," she said with an embarrassed tone.

Chen Fan nodded with a pleased smile. He was glad that she didn't advance without consulting him first.

Maybe if her advancement wasn't as dangerous as Body Reformation, he wouldn't have any problem with her being independent.

Just imagining her having a deadly complication in her recklessness made him feel concerned and afraid. She was too important for him not to worry.

"So, when will you be free to help me with my breakthrough?"

Chen Fan returned to his senses after listening to the question. He looked at Tang Hongyu for a moment before glancing at the paper on the table, his face contemplative.

"Since you have gathered your courage and made this decision, let's do it as soon as possible. Let's do it tonight," he said and earned a nod of agreement and appreciation from her.

After that, they talked about his experience in reforming his body. He tried to ease her nervousness and somewhat succeeded.

…

Several hours later, the sky had turned dark, the moons and stars decorated the vast night sky. Chen Fan and Tang Hongyu were in their room.

In the previous dinner, he could feel her nervousness. Even though he had tried to make her relax, she still had stage fright as the time drew near. Of course, he tried his best to ease her nervousness.

Regardless, it was time to start her advancement.

"Are you ready?"

Tang Hongyu closed her eyes after hearing his words. She regulated her breath for a while.

On the other hand, Chen Fan let her have her peace as she tried to calm down her nerves.

At this moment, Chen Fan was wearing his pajamas while Tang Hongyu covered her body with a blanket and let her hair fall. Tang Hongyu was naked under the blanket.

They had entered their room at the same time. However, Tang Hongyu asked Chen Fan to stay outside for a moment after he changed into his pajamas.

Chen Fan obliged. When he re-entered the room after Tang Hongyu called for him, she looked like that.

Chen Fan didn't know why she'd done that. He was curious, but he put his curiosity aside because it wasn't the time.

Anyway, Tang Hongyu had finally finished calming down. She opened her eyes and gave Chen Fan a determined look and a firm nod. Chen Fan returned the gesture with his own.

After that, Tang Hongyu let the blanket slide down and pool on the ground, showing her tantalizing body to Chen Fan. The corners of his mouth lifted when he saw the erotic and stimulating view, yet he mentally wondered what is with this fanservicey moment.

Soon, he put his curiosity and arousal aside and focused on Tang Hongyu. "Sit and meditate. Cut yourself from the outside world. Worry not, dear! This will end up in a jiffy!"

Listening to his confident words, Tang Hongyu felt relieved. She had faith in her man.

Then, she obediently followed his order. And soon, she was sinking deep in meditation.

Chen Fan immediately started after seeing her entering a deep meditative state. He waved his hand, and the Qi in the atmosphere reacted to his desire. They rushed into Tang Hongyu and wrapped her body in soft light.

After making sure that she wouldn't be in agony, Chen Fan started breaking her body. He couldn't help but feel pain in his chest when seeing her skin flake out.

It was too much for him because he genuinely cared about her. Nevertheless, he continued the gruesome process.

Unlike what he'd done to himself, he'd decided to reform her whole body in unison.

At first, he planned to do it in steps. However, after seeing that Tang Hongyu wasn't in pain but instead he was the one who agonized from witnessing the horrifying view, he decided to be done with this as soon as possible. He also chose False Dao Body for her because it was faster to build.

He watched with a stone-faced expression and bloodshot eyes as her flesh, muscles, and tissues broke down into dust after her skin flaked out. Then, her organ disappeared before her skeleton broke down.

Tang Hongyu died at this moment. In a physical sense.

Chen Fan could sense her soul in the location where her body formerly resided. A part of him was relieved because of this.

Then, he started guiding the Qi to reform Tang Hongyu's physical body. Skeleton came first, then her organ, then her flesh, and finally her skin and hair.
