Big Bear smacked him across the head again. “You’re just what? You’re just a piece of sh*t stirring rod! Hurry up and shut your mouth for me. If you continue spouting your bullsh*t, I’ll make sure you feel very horrible later on!!”
The Tiger King thoroughly collapsed and was on the verge of tears!
The Bear King thought his voice was soft, but with his natural speaking volume, even if he lowered his voice to a whisper, it was still the same volume as a normal person’s voice. Was there anybody he could hide his voice from, except the faraway Xuan Beasts?
Not a single word was missed. As the conversation trickled into his ears, Young Master Jun was completely dumbstruck. Ah? What? The fairy-like existence in his heart was actually an unwanted woman in Tian Fa Forest? Surely that was too ridiculous!
Big Bear turned and looked sheepishly at Young Master Jun as he hurriedly tried to remedy the situation. Walking over with the demeanor of a respectable family man, he wrung his hands and smiled. “Brother-in-law, don’t believe him, that Tiger King doesn’t know anything at all and likes to pretend as if he knows... Actually, eldest sister is considered quite beautiful... look, this is my wife, and she’s only just so-so... She’s called...”
He suddenly turned around. “What’s your name again?”
“Little Dance...” the huge bear answered shyly.
“Exactly! My wife is called Little Dance, she’s just passable only, definitely not some Tian Fa’s number one beauty... Brother-in-law, this... I’m the first younger brother to get married... the greeting gift...” Big Bear opened his huge hairy paws and stretched it out like a debt collector demanding payment.
“Take it!” The tormented Young Master Jun hurriedly took out three pills and slapped them onto Big Bear’s palm. Big Bear looked on stupidly for a moment before reacting. “Brother-in-law, are you playing with me? These can only be eaten at the peak ninth level Xuan grade... if my wife eats it, she’ll explode and I’ll be single again...
“Stupid! As long as you consume it in the correct order, there won’t be any problems. Let her eat the Heaven Vitality Pill pill first, increasing her cultivation by 50 years’ worth, then after you help her consolidate her cultivation, wouldn’t she be at the peak of the Ninth level? Would there be any more problems for her to consume the other two pills at that time...” Jun Mo Xie enlightened the dumb bear. He truly felt somewhat depressed in this moment. This was completely unexpected. Who would have thought that Big Bear would suddenly get a wife out of nowhere? And this speed was simply too quick! The true meaning of light speed...
“Good good good...” Big Bear smiled happily: “Brother-in-law is indeed smart! Your personality is really a good match for my eldest sister!” Seeing that the other Beast Kings had also turned their eyes over and their ears perked up, Big Bear stared at them sternly. “What are you all looking at? You can’t escape your share as well! Hurry up over here and greet my wife! Where’s your demeanor as her uncles!”
In just one hour, this fellow had actually settled all the wedding gifts and the dowry. What an impressive person...
Within a short time, Jun Mo Xie had already finished distributing the pills before quickly slipping away. There was no choice but to escape ah, with this many Xuan Cores looking at him so passionately...
Only Long Crane’s voice remained behind. “The matter about the pills is the greatest secret of our Tian Fa Forest! If it’s leaked outside, Tian Fa will no longer have a day of peace from now on! Furthermore, it will implicate eldest sister and brother-in-law. This secret must be guarded as tightly as a sealed bottle! If anyone dares to leak anything out, they will become the common enemy of our entire Tian Fa Forest!”
Jun Mo Xie smiled and dove into the Hongjun Pagoda. The instant he entered, he saw a ball of white shadow fleeting about, raising howling winds in the air. At times, the shadow was like a whirlwind, at times it was like the flowing clouds. At times, it was like ten thousand flowers blooming, and at times like golden lightning descending from the sky...
Mei Xue Yan was practicing her new techniques, and Jun Mo Xie simply watched quietly from the side. After a while, he furrowed his brows lightly...
A while later, Mei Xue Yan also discovered his presence. With a light sou sound, she darted under the tree and panted lightly.
Jun Mo Xie smiled warmly and walked over. He stared at her for a moment, until she turned her head away shyly. Chuckling lightly, he reminded seriously. “These moves of yours are indeed powerful, but it’s best that you only practice it roughly for now, and only focus on it in detail after you regain your human form... Afterall, your current form is very different from a human body. If you grew too accustomed to the technique while in this form... you will instead find that you cannot display the full strength of this technique in the future... habit makes natural. Do you understand the meaning of these words?”
Mei Xue Yan fell into deep thought and her body shivered lightly as her eyes lit up. Then, she raised her head, meeped lighty, and nodded.
Jun Mo Xie’s words had actually managed to resolve Mei Xue Yan’s greatest confusion for a long time!
Why was it that the high level techniques passed down from the seniors of Tian Fa unable to fully display their power despite the Xuan Beasts practicing it from a young age? Why was it so underwhelmingly different from the levels of power described in the ancient records!
Although it wasn’t to the point of being completely useless, it always felt like something was missing.
So this was the case!
The crux of the mater laid in the words ‘practicing from a young age’!
The seniors that founded Tian Fa were only able to create their own profound techniques after they had attained the human form. The techniques they created at that time were also naturally made with the human body as the foundation. It was also the most effective to practice in that form!
But as Tian Fa’s seniors, they couldn’t possibly be passing down their valuable knowledge and experiences to outsiders. So naturally, they were left to Tian Fa Forest! The later generation Xuan Beasts were not in human form when they were born, but high grade Xuan Beasts still had the qualifications to train in these techniques from a young age... like that, they practiced doubly hard until they attained their human form...
And it was the habits formed from their hard practice that unconsciously ended up inhibiting their ability to use the technique to its greatest potential!
Beasts and humans were two completely different concepts! But the habits and execution style of the techniques that they had formed after so many years of practice would not simply change that easily!
Just like that, everything was naturally wrong...
How, then, could they utilize the technique to its full potential?
Such a simple problem had actually confounded Tian Fa for so long!
Only until today was it unintentionally solved by a single sentence from Jun Mo Xie...
Mei Xue Yan’s lively little eyes gazed upwards at Jun Mo Xie. In them was a look of warmth and gratitude...
After some time, that cute little figure dashed off and disappeared. Not long later, she returned again, carrying a bunch of sand which she scattered on the stone surface. This was from the last time Jun Mo Xie sucked the water into the place.
“You want to say something to me? Ah... I’m such an idiot.” Jun Mo Xie instantly realized. After being reverted back to her original form, she had lost her ability to speak. But that didn’t mean that she couldn’t read or write. As for listening, she was definitely capable of doing that!
Mei Xue Yan rolled her eyes lazily. You still need this lady to teach you something so simple? How stupid!
Although Mei Xue Yan hadn’t said the words, Jun Mo Xie could clearly see it in her actions. In that moment, he couldn’t help but to chuckle bitterly...
“I want to remind you about something.” Mei Xue Yan scratched out a sentence neatly on the sand.
“What is it?”
“This is about Qing Han, Xiao Yi, and the others...” Mei Xue Yan paused for a moment as if contemplating her words. Finally, she wrote down: “Art is long and time is fleeting... Beauty is a fragile good!”
Art is long and time is fleeting? Beauty is a fragile good? What’s the meaning of that?!
Jun Mo Xie furrowed his brows and asked, “Are you asking me to hurry up and marry them?”
“No!”
“Then you...”
This time, Mei Xue Yan did not stop as she continued writing fluidly. From the looks of it, she had considered this matter for a long time. “I believe that in at most a few years’ time, I’ll be able to return to my previous peak, possibly even surpassing it. Your cultivation is also improving by leaps and bounds everyday. With our cultivation, staying together for a few thousand years is not really much of a problem...”
“But Qing Han, Xiao Yi, and the rest are not the same as us. Their essence strength is too weak, and even extending their lifespan is not possible within a short period of time. Not to mention them maintaining their figures and beauty... There are also limits to the usefulness of the pills... Although their talents are considered good, I’m afraid that the day they manage to cultivate to the Spirit Xuan or Supreme realm will be very far away in the future. At least, it will be something difficult to achieve without at least half a cycle of 60 years...”
“Perhaps in a few years, we may still retain our youth, but they will be no longer young... At that time, even without me saying anything, they won’t continue staying by your side... The prime of a lady lasts for at best five to ten years... if things reach that point, whether it is to you or to them, it will be the most cruel and deadly blow...”
Mei Xue Yan tilted her head and looked at Jun Mo Xie with her beady eyes. A moment later, she continued writing: “I don’t wish to have you endure that kind of torment at that time... Because if there’s any departure, it will be for a lifetime...”
Mei Xue Yan had stopped writing at this time, but Jun Mo Xie had already become as silent as a wooden chicken!
All along, Jun Mo Xie had always been brooding over the matter of longevity. His progress along this area had also proceeded pretty well thus far, so he had never considered this problem at all. He thought that as long as one was alive, they would always be able to keep their love!
But he’d completely forgotten about one more thing in this world. A woman would rather die than to lose their beauty!
To beautiful girls, if they had to make a choice between their beauty or their life, most of them would likely choose the former without any hesitation!
This was also where the saying “love beauty to the point of death” came from!
Even if one could gain everlasting life, if they were old and ugly while their beloved was still youthful and attractive, wouldn’t that simply become the greatest torture to them?!
How many years did the prime of a woman’s beauty really last? Even saying five or ten years was a high estimation...
Jun Mo Xie could stop growing old, and Mei Xue Yan could also do the same. But... what about Guan Qing Han? And Dugu Xiao Yi? Even his mother? They couldn’t!
Right now, Guan Qing Han and Dugu Xiao Yi were at the prime of their youth and could be considered the great beauties of the world. But, what about five years later? Or 10 years later? How about... 30 years later? What would they look like at that time?
