134 Exiting the Mirage Portal (2)

The Charming Saintess Luo Yingying smiled charmingly to Ye Fan and said to him, "We have met again. So, Ye Fan…"

Ye Fan interrupted as he said to her in a nonchalantly manner, "I think we have better chat outside. We don't want to be caught in the aftermath of the spatial disturbances when the mirage portal shuts itself. If we are cast out violently, we may not escape unscathed." 

The Charming Saintess Luo Yingying: …

The masked Ji Yuan was thinking: Is this Ye Fan an idiot? How can he interrupt a beautiful maiden when she was talking? This is no way to impress a maiden!

Xiang Li, Ji Yuan's spirit fairy maiden in his soul sea said to him: Big Brother, Ye Fan isn't trying to seduce the Charming Saintess Luo Yingying. So he doesn't need to impress her. Rather, this is the other way around.

The Great Virtuous Saintess Qin Qifen was a little dumbfounded when she saw that Ye Fan had actually given the Charming Saintess Luo Yingying the cold shoulders.

Fairy Xuan Xueqi pulled Ye Fan to her and they were already making broad strides toward the shimming portal.

The Charming Saintess Luo Yingying was quite stunned that her charms had failed to work against Ye Fan and she began to walk toward the shimmering portal as well.

The masked Ji Yuan said to the Charming Saintess Luo Yingying, "Actually, there may be an opportunity for you when we are outside…"

But the Charming Saintess Luo Yingying had given the masked Ji Yuan the cold instead and had walked off with her female protégés. 

The masked Ji Yuan: …

The Great Virtuous Saintess Qin Qifen giggled softly to the masked Ji Yuan, "You still have me to talk to…"

A grumbling masked Ji Yuan began to walk toward the shimmering portal as well and he had given the cold shoulders to the Great Virtuous Saintess Qin Qifen. 

The Great Virtuous Saintess Qin Qifen: …

A female protégé of the Great Virtuous Qin Qifen asked her, "Protégé mistress, what shall we do now?"

The Great Virtuous Saintess Qin Qifen ignored her as she began to walk toward the shimmering portal, giving this female protégé and the rest of her female protégés the cold shoulder.

The female protégé and the rest of the female protégés of the Great Virtuous Saintess Qin Qifen were all gasping panicky, "Wait for us, protégé mistress…" 

Ye Fan and Fairy Xuan Xueqi held their hands together as they entered the shimmering portal together. 

The reason why they were holding hands was because they were entering a spatial space and they would be randomly sent to a random location.

By holding their hands together, they would be able to emerge from the same spatial space together.

When Ye Fan had Fairy Xuan Xueqi had emerged together from the mirage portal, they found themselves in the mountain wilderness that overlooked the Free Trading City of Anthryl. 

They were quite relieved to see that they were in a familiar surrounding.

They also saw dozens of cultivators that were scattered all around them as well.

Some of the cultivators were quickly bickering or even fighting almost immediately.

Ye Fan said to Fairy Xuan Xueqi, "Xueqi, we ought to hurry back to the inn. I wonder how our Little Xuefeng is coping now?"

Fairy Xuan Xueqi smiled wryly to him, "Why are you in such a hurry to go back? Can't you see that the Charming Saintess Luo Yingying appears to be interested in you? Are you sure that you don't want to wait around to check where she will be appearing?" 

Ye Fan was startled by Fairy Xuan Xueqi's question.

He frowned, "I am not interested in any maidens except for my Xueqi."

Fairy Xuan Xueqi was suddenly flushing and she was looking coyly at Ye Fan, "It isn't unusual for cultivators to have a harem. When you are stronger, you will want to have your own bloodline to continue after you." 

The more powerful a cultivator is, the harder it is for them to have any bloodline. This is due to their heaven-defying cultivations that unnaturally prolong their own lives and also because of the result of trying to fighting against the nature and the heavenly dao.

If it is so easy to have a bloodline then the whole world would be dominated by just a few powerful cultivators.

Rather, the world of cultivation remains extremely diverse as the older cultivators either perish or ascend to the immortal realm. 

Of course, the powerful cultivation sects would try to maintain their bloodlines by having a huge harem or pairing off with the lower level cultivators in the hope of having a child after them.

There are also many stories that some of the so-called bloodlines are actually fake but are adopted instead. 

In some cases, some bloodlines are not even that of the father as the consorts have multiple secret affairs.

There was even a true story of a cultivation sect leader that was so desperate to have a child that he would invite dozens of men daily to his harem so that one of his consorts would be able to bear for him an heir. 

Ye Fan held onto Fairy Xuan Xueqi's hands tenderly, "I already have Little Xuefeng with you. So, why do I want to have more bloodline to continue after me?"

Fairy Xuan Xueqi said exasperatingly, "Little Xuefeng is not even our child. Moreover, she isn't even a human child. How can you be serious about this?"

Ye Fan laughed softly, "Of course I am serious about it. I can also see that you have already treated Little Xuefeng as our child too."

Fairy Xuan Xueqi smiled wryly, "Indeed. Unfortunately, she is still a child after so many years…"

"Little Xuefeng is a god beast child. She grows too slowly by our standards. And she still needs our protection." Ye Fan smiled.

Fairy Xuan Xueqi nodded, "Indeed, this is the case."

Ye Fan chuckled softly, "Therefore, let's hurry back and check on her."

Fairy Xuan Xueqi sighed softly, "You really seem to be in a great hurry. You really have nothing to talk with that Charming Saintess Luo Yingying?"

Ye Fan smiled weakly, "The second reason why I am in such a hurry is because I don't want to encounter that Sword Saint Ling Changsheng in this place or I won't be able to leave."

Fairy Xuan Xueqi smiled gently, "That is really a good excuse."

Ye Fan frowned, "That isn't an excuse. My heart belongs to you, Xueqi…" 

Fairy Xuan Xueqi chuckled softly, "I don't believe… you. Unless you can prove it to me." 

"How do I make you believe me?"

"You only behave when I am around. When I am not around, you probably jump into her bed, am I right?"

"Xueqi, you got to believe me…"

"Prove it then…"

"How do I prove something that I haven't done?" 

"You are too dense! I don't want to talk to you anymore…"

"Wait for me, Xueqi…"
