Chapter 637: Lotus Seeds, Immortal Peaches, Tripod Furnace

Beiming Cang Xue curiously sized up Fang Cheng’s true self, a hint of shyness on her pretty face.

Although she had spent a long time with his incarnation, seeing his true self now stirred a complex mix of the familiar and the foreign within her.

Fang Cheng smiled as he glanced around, then said to Beiming Cang Xue, “I cannot remain in this world for long. Come with me back to the Red Profound Realm.”

A faint blush crept onto Beiming Cang Xue’s face. With a soft sound of assent, she flew forward to Fang Cheng’s side. She gave him a deep curtsy, her eyes lowered as she said softly, “This junior pays her respects to Senior.”

Fang Cheng reached out and lifted her snow-white chin. He leisurely admired her exquisitely beautiful yet innocent face and smiled. “Call me husband from now on.”

Beiming Cang Xue lifted her gaze, giving Fang Cheng a shy glance. Her eyes were as enchanting as rippling water, seeming to speak a language of their own as she replied in a delicate voice, “Husband.”

Fang Cheng’s eyes traveled up and down her form, his satisfaction growing with every passing moment. He reached out and took her soft, snow-white hand.

Beiming Cang Xue struggled for a moment before letting him have his way.

Fang Cheng glanced at his Spiritual Mechanism Incarnation. The incarnation’s expression was placid as a Giant Bronze Cauldron flew out from its sleeve. With a wave of his own large sleeve, Fang Cheng collected it.

The Spiritual Mechanism Incarnation had stored a great deal of the harvest from this venture inside the cauldron.

These included items like Dao Pattern Spirit Jades, a Bosu Meditation Mat, a Seven-Colored Lotus Seedpod, and immortal peaches, as well as the beautiful, cold woman Beiming Qingqiu, who was to be a Tripod Furnace.

For the time being, Fang Cheng left the Tier Six Flying Sword, the Great Sun Celestial Fire Branches and Leaves, the Tier Six Demon Beast Corpse, and the Earth Book Fragment with his Spiritual Mechanism Incarnation. He also left it ten Seven-Colored Lotus Seeds to be used for forging a second Spiritual Mechanism and a Great Sun Golden Crow Talisman.

As for the many other treasures, he put them all away.

Holding Beiming Cang Xue’s small hand, Fang Cheng pointed at the Ten Thousand Worlds Compass. A ray of golden light instantly descended, enveloping them both. The Ten Thousand Worlds Compass turned slowly, and then it vanished along with the two of them.

Only after watching the two depart did the Spiritual Mechanism Incarnation leisurely rise to its feet and head toward the canyon where Feng Yan had forged a Spiritual Mechanism Incarnation.

「Red Profound Realm, Formless Realm.」

In the void near the Grotto Heaven Chessboard, a streak of golden light tore through the sky as Fang Cheng returned with Beiming Cang Xue.

In the distance, the magnificent Taixu Cloud Tower hung silently in the void, wreathed in auspicious clouds and brimming with celestial energy.

Beiming Cang Xue curiously glanced at the Grotto Heaven Chessboard, which was encircled by the Yellow Springs River. But before she could get a closer look, Fang Cheng pulled her along as they flew into the Taixu Cloud Tower.

The furnishings inside the Cloud Tower were opulent yet tasteful, and the atmosphere was one of serene tranquility.

Traveling from the impossibly distant Lingkong Celestial Ruins to this unfamiliar World Heaven in just a few moments left Beiming Cang Xue feeling a bit dazed.

Now that she was far from the many conflicts and trivialities of the Beiming Immortal Race, she also felt an indescribable sense of relief.

Fang Cheng put his arm around Beiming Cang Xue, led her to the Jade Couch, and sat down, pulling her onto his lap without giving her any chance to shyly refuse.

He then took out two goblets, filled them with Spirit Wine, and handed one to Beiming Cang Xue. “A beautiful moment is rare, and a fateful connection is hard to find,” he said. “We are fortunate to be together today. Let this cup be our matchmaker.”

The young woman accepted the goblet. Her beautiful, watery eyes flickered toward him in a shy glance as she said bewitchingly, “Husband, you truly are different from that Spiritual Mechanism Incarnation…”

With that, they both drained their goblets. Beiming Cang Xue then took the initiative to pick up the wine jug, pouring a cup for Fang Cheng. She offered it to him with a radiant smile and a soft laugh. “From this day forward, I am willing to walk the path of the Great Dao with you, husband. I only ask that you cherish me.”

They linked arms and drank.

At first, Beiming Cang Xue was still a little shy. But after a few cups, she gradually grew comfortable with Fang Cheng, revealing a touch of her naive and innocent nature. She flirted with him through soft smiles, and for a time, her charm was on full display, making her seem all the more captivating.

After drinking merrily for some time, they walked shoulder to shoulder and hand in hand to the bedchamber deep within the Cloud Tower.

The bedchamber was fragrant with the scent of orchid and musk. The air was thick with romance, and a magnificent, large bed dominated the room.

After a few moments of tender affection, they began to delve into the study of the Spirit Immortal inheritance.

His passion was like that of a thirsty horse drinking from a spring, his urgency like that of a hungry hawk seizing its meal.

They tossed and turned, emulating mandarin ducks playing in lotus-strewn waters; they rose and fell, learning from the phoenixes that spiral amongst the clouds.
