~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Gong Yuxian patiently waited for the arrival of Sword Sovereign, Murong Qianxue and the group they were training.

She barely knows anything about what was happening with this training expedition.

Murong Qianxue barely send any news since the second half of the training.

Even the last message the Fairy send to her sounded sad, even disappointed that they have to finish the training.

Truthfully the Palace Mistress can understand where this was coming from, as being directly trained by the Strongest Cultivator of their Continent is an incredible opportunity.

And so, she waited for their arrival accompanied by Chu Yueli and Mu Lanyi, both of the fairies excitedly waited for Xiao Tian Long arrival.

A few moments later several figured appeared on the horizon, not long after that, the waiting fairies could make out who it was.

Before long Xiao Tian Long accompanied by the fairies were in front of Palace Mistress.

"Welcome back Sword Sovereign." Gong Yuxian respectfully greeted the strongest cultivator of their Continent.

Her eyes swept through the group, she was extremely shocked by what she felt from all of them!

Especially from Xia Qingyue! The fairy was already at the Seventh of Earth Profound!

While the other two already were at Second of Earth Profound! The best part is that they still have close to half a year before the tournament!

This means that they could achieve an even higher realm of cultivation!

The Palace Mistress had quite the hard time not grinning silly with realisation that they will surely win the number one spot in the next Blue Wind Ranking Tournament!

Then she noticed the changes in demeanour in the fairies…

Internally Gong Yuxian groaned, of course, they submitted to him.

It was so obvious, these fairies will easily give themselves to him for such incredible power, especially once they start talking among themselves, explaining things in detail.

The Palace Mistress already has given up on fighting this change. BUT, this doesn't mean one should not forget that they are part of Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace!

"Thank you for such a warm welcome." The Sword Sovereign said with a disarming smile.

Palace Mistress nearly rolled her eyes, hearing that.

Warm? It sounds like a joke, they are Ice Profound Arts practitioners! And he is talking about warm…

""Welcome back…""

Nonetheless, Chu Yueli and Mu Lanyi were completely different from Gong Yuxian, as they approached the only man in the group.

Both of the fairies approached him while gently smiling, their smile was not fake. Instead, it was hiding something else.

Something the Sword Sovereign and his group noticed almost immediately.

These two fairies were very much in need of his attention.

"Fairy Lanyi and Fairy Yueli, it's nice to see you both."

Xiao Tian Long greeted them both, while the fairies approached him. The Palace Mistress wanted to complain how her fairies were behaving out of line.

Especially the members of her Seven Fairies group!

Even now they acted like teenage girls in love, if not for her standing right here, these fairies would have dragged him away and did... things.

A gulp went down in Palace Mistress mouth, she realised that this might truly would happen, how shameless...

"Why don't we discuss how much the fairies have achieved throughout the training?" Gong Yuxian has snapped out of the group in front of her.

The older fairy's saw how Chu Yueli and Mu Lanyi nearly started 'flirting' with Xiao Tian Long and practically ignored the rest.

She realised how fast everything is changing around her.

"Of course."

The Sword Sovereign nodded at her request, the rest of the fairies tried to hide their disappointment, but Gong Yuxian noticed that.

She started to realise that her fairies becoming disrespectful and even thinking of disobeying her…

The obvious reason is that her cultivation is just two stages above theirs.

And with Xiao Tian Long back they will quickly catch up to her.

'This is not good, either I do something or they will truly start disobeying openly.' The Palace Mistress seriously thought.

~~~

"I did started teaching the fairies sword techniques since completely relying on ice profound energy can make one extremely predictable."

The Sword Sovereign pointed out the obvious hole in the Frozen Cloud power base.

The reliance of Frozen Cloud arts purely is a bad move, elemental arts while powerful, there are countermeasures for those.

That's why he uses Sword intent, it's far harder to have some sort of immunity to that.

"Yes, that is true. Founder Bingyun invented the Frozen Cloud Sword Arts just for that." Gong Yuxian completely agreed, and if Xiao Tian Long can improve their Palace arts it would be even better!

"Yes, I know I checked them before. Nonetheless, for now, the girls can train on their own, and wait for the tournament to start."

With that, the Sword Sovereign was done with the training. It was entertaining, but he has other things to do.

"I see. You have my Frozen Cloud's gratitude for training the fairies." 

The Palace Mistress thanked the young Xiao who casually accepted it.

It's not like he didn't have fun while training them…

"There… is a small issue though… we would like to ask your assistance in something." 

Gong Yuxian asked him with a slightly embarrassed look, the way it looked the Palace Mistress did not want to ask for his help this soon after he came just back. But, it was important.

"Oh? Did something happened?" 

Xiao Tian Long asked the older fairy curiously. While he was trying to remember if something happened at this specific moment in the timeline.

A sigh escaped from Gong Yuxian lips before she started talking.

"Chu Yuechan did several missions for the Palace when you were away, and at one time she returned poisoned."

As Palace Mistress was explaining, Xiao Tian Long internally was slightly baffled hearing that. It seems he already affect several things in Blue Wind Empire.

'Hmm, I should stop relying on my canon knowledge, only certain events can he be trusted upon…' The Sword Sovereign internally thought to himself.

"I see, this sounds serious, if Fairy Chu can't expel poison with her Profound energy then it's powerful poison which developed a consciousness." 

"Yes, Chen'er told me that the poison starts affecting her Profound veins if she tries to expel it, for now, she was only able to suppress it." Gong Yuxian explained to him.

"Hmm, very well, I will fix this up, if we wait longer, then poison will start affecting Fairy Chu cultivation and future potential." He explained to the Palace Mistress, who slowly nodded but internally she sighed with defeat once more.

The older fairy knew that once Chu Yuechan is healed by him the older Chu will do anything to pay of her debt, and Gong Yuxian has no doubt that the Frozen Beauty will come up with silly decision that the only way to pay of the debt is to dual cultivate with him.

That just how blunt and hard-headed the 'number one' fairy is…

Worst of all it will be extremely difficult to dissuade her and Xiao Tian Long won't going to stop Chu Yuechan if she wants to do it…

That's what Palace Mistress thinks, that's why the older fairy didn't wanted to mention Frozen Beauty's situation, once everyone knows what happened to Chu Yuechan, how the number one fairy gave up herself it will be the last nail in their Frozen Palace coffin.

Nonetheless, the older Chu health is much more important than… her purity.

"Very well, please do so." Gong Yuxian said with a reluctant sigh.

Well, there is nothing she can do to stop this anyway…

~~~

When Xiao Tian Long arrived at Chu Yuechan place he was greeted by cultivating Frozen Beauty.

The black-haired fairy was sitting in the lotus position, and he could feel how her cultivation was progressing at a snail pace.

This was very bad, for the older Chu, The Sword Sovereign has deducted by single glance that this fairy won't going to achieve Throne realm in her lifetime with the current condition she was in.

"So, you have returned." Chu Yuechan started speaking first without even opening her eyes, her voice was frosty.

One could feel the amount of annoyance she felt. The annoyance is not direct at him, more like at the situation she got herself into.

"Just now. I have heard the situation you are in right now." Xiao Tian Long said to her as he got inside her small Icehouse.

A frown appeared on her lips, one could guess that she was remembering how she got that poison in the first place.

"It was Ice Profound Beast at Sky Profound realm, not only I did not unexpected to find such creature close to Frozen Cloud. it even revealed his poison very last moment before its death...catching me off-guard."

The fairy explained in great detail to him, almost implying that she is not useless and that it was not her fault.

"I see, let me fix you up. The longer we wait the more we allow that poison to saturate."

Chu Yuechan slowly nodded, her cheeks slightly got rosy. The beauty started to behave extremely stiffly, as if thinking about something else entirely.

"Of course, I will pay you back for this service, I dislike having unpaid favours." Frozen Beauty said that extremely seriously to the only male member of Frozen Cloud.

"First let's fix your problem, then we can discuss payments." Xiao Tian Long said with an eye roll.

The older Chu nodded with a slightly embarrassed look, the black-haired fairy looked away for a second before turning back at him.

"What do I need to do?" 

The Sword Sovereign that moment activated one of his broken powers, the realm of herbs, he then selected several of the dozen herbs which would help him in this situation, then he started refining them into pellets.

The very next moment he pulled out one said pellet from his pocket. All Chu Yuechan saw this moment was that he pulled out a pellet from a storage ring after thinking for a moment.

"Consume this, it will make the Origin of Poison lose its resistance, allowing us to refine it and add to your cultivation base." 

The Frozen Beauty's eyes slightly widened hearing that!

"Adding to cultivation base? Is that even possible?" He asked with disbelief. From her eyes, one can see that she doesn't believe such a thing is possible.

"Normally no. But, with certain pellets…" Xiao Tian Long fished out another pellet and showed it to her.

"Alot of things are possible." 

"...I see… very well. How should I proceed from here?" The fairy asked him since he was the doctor and the Frozen Beauty was the patient in this situation.

"First start with this one, the moment you felt that Origin of Poison lost its power, you then swallow the other pellet and start refining it." The Sword Sovereign explained to the fairy.

Chu Yuechan nodded and swallowed the first pellet, the beauty then waited for a moment before swallowing the other pellet.

Soon enough the older Chu experienced her breakthrough to First of Emperor Profound!

"I-It worked! The pellet pushed my cultivation to Emperor Profound!" The Frozen Beauty said with awe and even a happy voice.

Xiao Tian Long can see that the fairy didn't even realised that she spoke with raw emotions coming from her voice.

This indicated that just like the rest of the fairies, the beauty has lost her frozen heart…

"Congratulations, for reaching Throne, Fairy Chu." The only male of Frozen Cloud congratulated the excited fairy.

"... It's all thanks to you Sword Sovereign." The older Chu spoke with a happy yet resigned voice.

She then got up on her feet and took few steps, making her stand in front of him.

"As I said before, I dislike owning favours, and since...there is very little I could offer to you I decided to pay you back with my...vital yin." The Frozen Beauty said to him with a barely hearable voice, she was extremely embarrassed at this moment.

While Xiao Tian Long could only look at her while blinking owlishly.

He was at loss, how do these fairies operate? He still trying to figure it out properly! But, no matter what they always surprise him in some way!
