Chapter 172 Talks
"Hmm? He's gone?" He Shiyun muttered with a frown, because she couldn't find Xia Tian in Xia Manor, she then spread her senses as far as she could, but she still couldn't find him anywhere. "Where did he go? How did he just disappear?"
"Whatever, he will definitely come back here later, I just need to wait for him here." He Shiyun sighed softly, then she pulled back her senses, and casually sat on the cloud.
Meanwhile, Fan Quexian, who had just entered her room, was startled by Fan Youling's presence inside. "When did you get here, Aunt Youling?"
"I haven't been here long, Quexian." Fan Youling replied, as her eyes observed Fan Quexuan's body up and down, she soon let out a low sigh, because she could feel that Fan Quexian was still a virgin. "What are you doing in Xia Tian's room, Quexian? Moreover, I can smell his scent really strong on your body."
"Aunt Youling, I-" Fan Quexian stopped talking, she immediately sat down beside Fan Youling, and took a deep breath, then told her everything.
Fan Youling looked so surprised, after Fan Quexian finished telling her everything. She then pulled her into her arms, and stroked her head gently, as she asked. "What are you going to do now, Quexian? Actually, I'm sure that my Queen and your mother wouldn't mind if you became his woman, especially after he did all that to you."
"I know that, Aunt Youling." Fan Quexian said with a nod, she knew very well the character of her mother and aunt, and she was sure that they would actually be happy, if she were to be Xia Tian's woman. "However, I haven't fallen in love with him yet, and I want to be more sure of my feelings first, so I don't want to rush into a decision. Moreover, he still has unresolved issues with Aunt Jing, so I want to keep our relationship a secret from them for now. And I also ask you not to tell them, Aunt Youling."
"Alright, I won't say anything to them." Fan Youling agreed without hesitation, she herself felt that it was indeed not the right time to tell them about it. "But sooner or later you will have to tell them, Quexian. In less than three weeks, they will arrive at this realm, I am sure that Xia Tian will definitely settle the matters with my Queen by then, so you must prepare yourself to face them."
Fan Quexian sighed hearing that, she laid her head on Fan Youling's shoulder. "En, I'll think about it during this time."

Ancient Sacred Realm
"I've already given Xuan'er the project design, Yuhe. She's already ordered your officials to execute the project immediately." Zhu Yuhe nodded happily hearing that, for her kingdom could definitely advance further with his help.
Xia Tian then hugged Zhu Yuhe's waist, and brought her to the Sacred Heiqiong Tree because the tree was already bearing fruit again, then he plucked all the fruit. "I will leave these fruits to Quexian later, and ask her to give them to Honglian."
"Thank you, Tian." Zhu Yuhe replied gratefully, because Xia Tian did not forget and care for her daughter.
Xia Tian turned to her. "You don't need to thank me, you know. Even though my relationship with Honglian is still bad, she is my family after all, and I always care for all of my family."
"What are you going to do about your relationship with Honglian, Tian?" Zhu Yuhe asked quietly, as she still felt guilty towards her own daughter, because she still kept her relationship with Xia Tian hidden from her. Actually, she already had the intention to tell her daughter, but she was really afraid that her daughter would hate her. Because she still loved him so much, even though their engagement had been annulled.
"I don't know, and I haven't thought about Honglian, Yuhe." Xia Tian answered truthfully, because he was more focused on his cultivation, his women, and the preparations for war with Hong Chen. "Perhaps, after the war I will confront her, and tell her about our relationship, Yuhe."
"Are you serious, Xia Tian?" Zhu Yuhe asked in surprise.
Xia Tian simply nodded to her. "We can't continue to hide our relationship from her, Yuhe. Although we can't make our relationship public for now, but at least the people who closest to us should know about it. If Honglian can't accept our relationship, then I will try to convince her to accept it."
Zhu Yuhe was silent for a while thinking about Xia Tian's words, a few moments later she asked again. "What would you do if Honglian wanted to be your woman too, Tian? I know very well that my daughter still loves you, but she is too proud to admit it, and I saw her cry bitterly, when she found out about your relationship with Suyin."
"To be honest, I still don't know what I would do if that really happened, because my feelings for her are different now." Xia Tian then turned back to Zu Yuhe. "What would you do if Honglian really wanted to be my woman as well? Would you agree to her request, Yuhe?"
"I don't know." Zhu Yuhe replied curtly, and lowered her face, as she thought about the various possibilities. Although she was willing to share Xia Tian with many women, but she found it really strange to share a man with her own daughter, on the other hand she also couldn't bear to see her daughter sad, because she really loved Xia Tian.
Xia Tian inwardly sighed, and hugged Zhu Yuhe tightly. "We'll think about Honglian later, for now we should focus on our cultivation."
"Do you want to dual cultivate with me, Tian?" Zhu Yuhe shyly asked.
However, Xia Tian rejected her. "Not now, Yuhe. I need to increase my Yang Energy, so I will cultivate normally first."
"Alright." Zhu Yuhe nodded in understanding.
After that, they returned to the area of the Sacred Jade Pond, and they cultivated together with Mu Ruxue and Yue.
