Divine God Against The Heavens

There were many things that he did not understand. One of them was why she decided to answer his question. This was her personal matter and also the humiliation that she endured for the past ten thousand years. How can a girl tell such things to a boy whom she just met?

Although it was Ye Xiao who asked her this question, if she wanted, she would not have answered him. But she did tell him everything and it was in detail.

Now, Ye Xiao wanted to know "why?", and he need not to as Xue Xiaofei once again started to say, "Well, the time does not exist inside the coffin and one can use it to preserve their lives for countless years. No matter how one sleeps inside, whenever they wake up, they will find themselves in the same condition when they went to sleep inside the coffin. It is indeed a very rare treasure but to use it, one has to pay a certain price."

Saying this, she looked at Ye Xiao with a complicated gaze and again her voice became cold as she said, "The price I paid is a thousand years of my cultivation. And my cultivation is also sealed now because of the coffin. Only you can unseal my cultivation!"

"W-What? How can I unseal senior's cultivation?" Ye Xiao was flabbergasted when he heard her. 

Xue Xiaofei did not say anything. Her gaze became even more complicated. Ye Xiao didn't know what to say when he saw the look in Xue Xiaofei's eyes. He could not even understand what she was thinking right now.

The only question in his mind right now was why Xue Xiaofei is looking at him like this?

She took a deep breath and again said, "My cultivation is sealed so I can not use my spatial ring. There is golden-coloured fruit in the right corner. Take it out for me!"

Saying this, she gave her spatial ring to Ye Xiao. Ye Xiao took out the fruit she wanted and gave it to her with her spatial ring.

Ye Xiao did not know the properties of this fruit Golden Fruit. His knowledge regarding the spirit fruits and medicinal herbs was still locked. He only managed to find its name. This fruit was called Soporous[1] Fruit.

After taking them, Xue Xiaofei took a deep breath, looked at Ye Xiao, and said, "Before entering the coffin, even I did not know that I have to pay a certain price to use it. What price I have to pay, that I only know after you opened the coffin. As for unsealing my cultivation, that can only be done by forming a..."

She turned her gaze away from Ye Xiao and said, "...by forming a relationship of man and women with the person who opened the coffin!"

"What?"

It was as if Ye Xiao heard something unbelievable. He subconsciously retreated back a few steps.

"Y-You?"

Seeing his reaction, anger flashed in Xue Xiaofei's eyes. She looked at him with complaint and grievance in her eyes. It should be her who should react like that. How can Ye Xiao react this way?

She was so beautiful. Even in the upper realm, there are countless admirers of her. The majority of men look at her with greed and lust. But here, when she herself said such shameful things like forming a relationship between man and woman, Ye Xiao reacted this way.

She gave the Soporous Fruit to Ye Xiao and told him to eat it. Ye Xiao did not know the property of this fruit so he did not dare to take and eat it.

Xue Xiaofei was again angered as she threw the fruit toward Ye Xiao, forcing him to subconsciously catch it. Then she said, "Don't worry. You will not be harmed after eating this fruit. Instead, you will gain something that countless people dreamed about."

Ye Xiao looked at her suspiciously. If this fruit was really what she said, how can she not keep it for herself? Why was she willing to give him this Soporous Fruit.

Only if the sealed memories of Ancient Gods were not locked. Ye Xiao took a deep breath and looked at the Golden Fruit called Soporous Fruit in his hand but he still did not dare to eat it.

Xue Xiaofei was once angered when she saw this. As if she knew what Ye Xiao was thinking, she said, "I can not have it. Even if I eat it, it will not affect me as it is only a Low Rank Immortal Fruit. I am already an Immortal Emperor, how can a mere Low-rank Immortal Fruit be of any use to me."

Only after she said this did Ye Xiao took a breath of relief. Although he was still suspicious, he decided to believe this young lady for now.

"Eat it." Xue Xiaofei again said.

Ye Xiao looked at her then the fruit in his hand, hesitated, and then took a bite. As he took a bite it melted in his mouth. It was extremely sweet to the point that it could make anyone drowsy.

Ye Xiao can vow that he had never eaten something so delicious before. He had never been a gluttonous person, but as he ate this fruit, he wished he could swallow it again and again.

After a dozen some breaths of time, Ye Xiao finished eating this fruit. He even licked clean his fingers and lips.

Afterward, he waited for the strength of the fruit to erupt within him. Generally speaking, the higher the rank of a spirit fruit was the more terrifying a strength it would erupt with. If a martial artist could not withstand this then their body would explode and they would die.

Ye Xiao was currently only at the Fifth Stage of the Martial Ancestor Realm but the fruit he ate was already a Low Rank Immortal Fruit. How can a mortal body withstand the eruption of an Immortal Fruit?

He knew this but still, he decided to eat because he still has a trump card in his hands. If he could not control the eruption of energy, he can devour it and make the energy his own.

But, even after waiting for an incense stick of time, there was no strength erupting within him.

Instead, Ye Xiao felt an unprecedented level of comfort.

Heat flowed through him, spreading to every inch of his body, flooding his meridians, flesh, and blood. It even rose into his Divine Sea, causing him to feel intoxicated and tipsy.

His body grew increasingly hot. His mind became dizzy as if he had drunk alcohol. His entire body was comfortable.

He wanted to lie down on the ground and sleep.

Just as Ye Xiao felt this, his heart was chilled. A creeping feeling came over him.

He turned and looked at the woman in front of him.

"You…"

Ye Xiao wanted to focus his gaze on Xue Xiaofei's face, but as he did he simply was not able to maintain the brief moment of soberness he just gained.

A burning rush of heat and dizziness blazed up his body once more, slowing his reactions, making it impossible to say the things he wanted to, to Xue Xiaofei.

All sorts of thought crossed through Ye Xiao's mind. He felt his consciousness become increasingly blurry. He also felt his surroundings circling all around him. He staggered around, and because he was unable to remain stand properly, he slumped towards Xue Xiaofei.

Complex emotions revealed themselves in her eyes.

She stood there and did not avoid Ye Xiao.

Just as Ye Xiao was about to fall into her arms, at the final moment he held onto her shoulders, using her to support himself. For a time, Ye Xiao's face was mere inches away from hers.

At such a close distance Ye Xiao could smell the fragrance wafting off her body and see her two pupils that were like spring lakes. Ye Xiao's heart shook.

Xue Xiaofei held Ye Xiao's arm and helped him sit on the ground.

"You... wh...at was tha..t fruit?" Ye Xiao forced himself to say these words. He was currently feeling very sleepy. If he did not forcefully continue to open his eyes, he would have fallen into deep sleep long ago.

"Ye Xiao, I'm sorry…"

Xue Xiaofei's voice was filled with complicated emotions and regret.

"This fruit has the ability to make one senseless and sleepy. It also contains a devilish lure toward the opposite sex. No one below Late Immortal Lord can resist it."

"I was telling the truth when I told you it has no effect on me. But you are different. You are only a Martial Ancestor Realm martial artist. You have no way to resist."

Ye Xiao was no longer able to control his body. Not only was he feeling incredibly sleepy, but the heat in his body was also becoming more and more overwhelming.
