9 To Southern Wilderness

Ye Jian woke up in the evening, finding Xiao Mi in his bosom, he gently kissed on her forehead and the depression in his heart got slightly reduced. Xiao Mi woke up due to Ye Jian's movements. She tightly hugged him by wrapping her arms around Ye Jian neck and asked him "what happened between you and Song Tingyu yesterday night ?"

Ye Jian doesn't want to hide the matter from Xiao Mi, so he said "she said that I am a trash and I don't deserve her. She only married me because of her grandfather's wishes. She will leave for Profound Seven Hills sect after 8 months and after that will not disturb me again."

Xiao Mi knows Song Tingyu insulted Ye Jian more than that or else Ye Jian will not lose his composure. Xiao Mi felt deep anger towards Song Tingyu and she encouraged Ye Jian to train sincerely and increase his strength. Ye Jian traced the scar marks on Xiao Mi face and said, " I think there are some pills to cure the scar marks and will make your skin as new".

Xiao Mi touched her face and said " I read in the pill book there are some pills to cure this scar marks but they are very costly and only available in large sects. Only higher-ups in the sect can access those pills. There is no urgency in recovering my face. You just focus on your cultivation", by the caring shown by Xiao Mi, Ye Jian heart is filled with warmth and he tightly hugged her waist and kissed on her cheeks saying " I will definitely bring that pill for you".

Ye Jian brought some girls clothes from the maids and gave it to Xiao Mi. He started to practice absorbing the world spiritual energy and converting it strands of qi in his body. He practiced diligently for two days and finally became successful in creating a thin stream of qi in his body, by which he formally entered into the first level of origin realm.

Ye Jian felt that he is able to cultivate martial arts smoothly than before, in his memories the previous Ye Jian is not able to cultivate martial arts because he has difficulty in refining spiritual energy. The present Ye Jian felt that he is able to refine Spiritual energy in a much smoother and faster way.

In origin realm, one has to form qi by observing world spiritual energy and in the first three levels of origin realm, one has to increase the thickness of qi in their body. In the next three levels, they have tempered their muscles, blood, and bone so that their body becomes free from impurities and becomes strong.

In the last two levels of origin realm, one has to temper their inner organs and meridians, in the last level one has to open 12 major acupoints and then they will break through Vein opening realm.

Ye Jian after two days called all the staff working in his mansion and Introduced Xiao Mi as his assistant and said all of them should listen to her commands. He wanted to give some position to Xiao Mi or else the staff here will not respect her.

Ye Jian and Xiao Mi are daily sleeping on the same bed by hugging each other but they again did not have any sex, as Ye Jian is diligently practicing martial arts and felt very tired by evening.

Today, Ye Jian completed the martial arts cultivation and is very tired, he is diligently practicing martial cultivation after his wedding day. He went to the bath and returned to the bed to sleep, he found Xiao Mi already sleeping on the bed, he gently went and hugged her to sleep. Xiao Mi woke up when Ye Jian hugged her. She changed to a comfortable position in Ye Jian bosom and asked him, "Ye Jian, I want to ask you some questions and you should reply to me honestly."

Ye Jian nodded his head and lightly kissed on her lips saying "You can ask me whatever you want and I will truthfully reply to you." Xiao Mi smiled and asked, " Why did you buy me in the slave market?" Ye Jian laughed and said " I first saw your back, in that cage and thought it is so sexy, I don't want others to take you and train you like a slave. I want you for only myself." Xiao Mi frowned and said " perverted and possessive." Ye Jian laughed slyly and grabbed her front and back at the same time saying " yes, I am truly possessive and don't try to escape from my clutches." Xiao Mi did not bother about Ye Jian grabbing her, she patted away the Ye Jian hand and solemnly said: " Ye Jian, I am feeling that I will be able to remember my past soon, and I may… have to leave you temporarily once I regained my memories." The joyful mood of Ye Jian vanished and they both silently hugged each other without speaking. After some time Ye Jian asked Xiao Mi "Are you willing to be my Wife?", Xiao Mi stunned by his question and nodded her head shyly after some time.

Ye Jian picked her from the bed and said: "we don't need anybody witness to our marriage, we will complete our vows and can be regarded as husband and wife". They both bowed towards heaven and earth, bowed towards in the direction of the Ye family ancestor hall and at last kowtowed to each other. Xiao Mi eyes are moist with tears, Ye Jian picked her up and placed on his bed saying " now it is the first night in the nuptial chamber." Xiao Mi is embarrassed and with a red face, she scolded Ye Jian "shameless".

Ye Jian completely hugged Xiao Mi in his bosom and roamed his fingers all over her body, he placed one of his hands on her developing breasts fondling it and other hands on her bottom tightly grasping it, Xiao Mi let out constant moans of pleasures, Ye Jian stopped her voice with his lips and quickly unrobed her, their two naked bodies are completely pasting each other without leaving any gap. After two rounds of continuous excitement, they both are very tired. Xiao Mi is on top Ye Jian and there is a satisfied smile on her face and Ye Jian is tightly hugging her. Xiao Mi gently whispered in his ears "husband, I love you". Ye Jian is very excited and said " don't forget you are the wife of Ye Jian, where ever you go I don't care, but finally you should return to me" he tightly hugged her and gave a strong lip kiss and slowly due to exhaustion, they both fell asleep.

Ye Jian is faced with a new problem as he entered into the first level of origin realm, cultivating by absorbing world spiritual energy is very slow, he should either train with spirit stones or monster cores, only the talents of the family are provided with better resources, even his grandfather cannot do anything about it, as resource allocation is done by the decision of all the elders. Because Ye Jian talent is poor, he is not allotted with any resources. Spirit stones are very rare and even large families cannot afford it in large amounts, only large sects use spirit tones for their cultivation. The large families generally go for hunting to collect monster cores for martial arts cultivation.

Ye Jian does not know anybody and hunting should be done in groups. With low strength as Ye Jian, if they go alone they will be killed at the periphery of the forest itself. Level 1 magical beast is comparable to mid origin realm martial arts cultivator and level 2 beasts are comparable to mid vein opening realm martial arts. To kill a level 2 magical beast, there is a need of at least 4 martial practitioners at level 5 of the vein opening realm.

Today in the evening he is hugging Xiao Mi and pondering how to procure magical beast core for martial arts cultivation. He pondered for a while and thought to ask Xing Tia for any alternatives tomorrow morning, and he gradually fell asleep. In the middle of the night, the red jade hanging on the neck of the Xiao Mi glowed and a series of information appeared in the head of Xiao Mi. Xiao Mi opened her eyes and bright light is flashing through her eyes and she remembered what cultivation method she had to practice!.

In the morning Ye Jian woke up and saw Xiao Mi deeply thinking about something. She noticed Ye Jian and said, " I remembered my cultivation method, I want to go to secluded cultivation practice". There are some rooms in the underground for secluded cultivation practice, as this world is filled with the martial artist it is to normal to build underground rooms and secret rooms for closed-door cultivation.

Ye Jian felt happy for her and shown her way to the underground room. After returning from the underground, Ye Jian wanted to meet Xing Tia to know how he will able to get monster cores easily. When he is walking towards to the room Xing Tia is at, a maid came and informed him that they are some guests waiting in the hall for him. Ye Jian is bewildered as he doesn't have any friends. He went to the hall to greet the guests and saw that who came today are the same ones who invited him to the party ten days back. Seeing them Ye Jian became cautious, they congratulated Ye Jian for his marriage and spoke with him about some other things. At last, one of them asked him "Ye Jian we are going to the southern wilderness to hunt for the magic beasts under the lead of Du Chen. What do you think about it? you can also come with us, it will be a lot of fun."

Ye Jian is certain that they want to do something to him on the trip but he was in an urgent need for monster cores and cannot depend on anybody. He thought if he is careful enough he will not be harmed in front of everybody, if they wanted to do anything to him they should do in secret not causing suspicions to the Ye family.

He thought if he cultivated without facing any risk there won't be any improvement in his cultivation, so he dared to go the hunting trip with them. So he said "of course, I am interested, when are we going on the trip?" they said, Ye Jian, to be ready and come to the city entrance tomorrow morning.

Ye Jian did not see Song Tingyu after he came to the mansion, he also did not bother about her and deeply involved in his cultivation. He wanted to inform Xing Tia about tomorrow trip but remembering his despising eyes he did not have the mood to inform him. Xiao Mi is in seclusion, so next day morning he just informed one of the maids that he is going for hunting with a group in the southern wilderness and told her to inform Xing Tia about it and rode his horse towards city entrance.

At the city entrance, a group of people, all are in Vein opening realm are sitting on horseback and waiting for someone. Seeing Ye Jian coming towards them, a tall and handsome youth went forward and signaled Ye Jian to come. He wore a compassionate smile and warmly said to Ye Jian " brother Ye, I did not expect you to come, there is a lot of fun in hunting and I will make sure that you will be satisfied at the end of the trip", the youth is Du Chen. Ye Jian politely greeted him and went to where the people from yesterday are and began chatting with them. Ye Jian is new to the martial world and did not hone his senses so, he was not able to feel a deep hatred and killing intent in the Du Chen eyes which he concealed it with a compassionate and gentle smile. After the arrival of the Ye Jian, the group started towards the southern wilderness.

Du Chen did not plan to kill Ye Jian he wants to cripple him and throw him in the forest and want to enjoy when the wild beasts are feasting on him. He thought of many plans and felt only this plan is feasible and will cause the least suspicion towards him. They are on the journey for five days and finally reached the southern periphery of the southern wilderness.

One can see from a distance that start of the southern wilderness is filled with trees and small mountains. The most eye-catching is the tall mountain at the end of the horizon which is piercing the skies, it is called Black abyssal mountain and it marked the end of human exploration in the southern wilderness, only fulfillment expert can reach the foot of the Black abyssal mountain. It is said that as one move deeper into southern wilderness there are so many mountains which are as grand as black abyssal mountain but no human martial cultivator is able to explore them because as they move deeper into the southern wilderness the level of the magical beast increases and there are so many other dangers like quicksand traps, poisonous bugs etc; Ye Jian group came for hunting only in the periphery of one to five kilometres. In this region, there is an only magical beast of level one and two.

The group arranged a camp outside the forest and started resting and eating their dry rations. They want to recuperate and wanted to start hunting tomorrow morning in their best condition.

Du Chen came to Ye Jian and asked in a joking way " brother Ye, you are married recently to the most beautiful woman in the Misty Sky city, how are your days?" he teased Ye Jian by winking at him.

Ye Jian thought " what the most beautiful woman?! if you are married to her you would have known her true face, she will kill you just by using her words." Ye Jian doesn't want to say that he is humiliated by his wife, so he sheepishly smiled and said: " we spent together in the bedroom for two days without even coming out for food." Ye Jian didn't give any extra details but just from his expression alone, Du Chen can understand what happened in the room. His fury reached his brains and stormed out of the tent. He determined that he will kill Ye Jian tomorrow by slowly torturing

him until he begs for his death.

Southern wilderness is so vast that it is a border to all the three kingdoms in the south. Further south nobody knows how far it extended but only knows there is vast ocean after this southern wilderness. Due to its large area, its very rare for any two groups to meet and groups will station themselves some distance apart from each other, so that, there won't be any clashes among them for a single prey. For some unknown reason, Ye Jian felt a deep restlessness while looking at the Black abyssal mountain on the horizon. He closed his tent cover and went to sleep throwing aside his worries and only with an aim of obtaining monster cores for his cultivation.
