Mengli Fairy looked at Fang Xian with surprised eyes, completely bewildered by his meaning.
"I let you have your fill? What do you mean?"
Fang Xian simply smiled, offering no reply.
"Your strength is extraordinary. Today's battle was truly exhilarating. Please do me the honor of joining us at the Qingfeng Hall of my Lingxiao Sect for a banquet."
Sect Master Yunshan Jun extended a warm invitation, his eyes filled with sincerity.
Fang Xian readily agreed. He waved his hand, signaling Liu Yunyan, Li Muwan, Luo Hongxia, Elder Tianqiong, and Elder Tianlan behind him to accompany him.
The group followed Sect Master Yunshan Jun along the winding spiritual path.
Along the way, mist swirled, and spiritual flowers bloomed, emitting a captivating fragrance.
When they entered the Qingfeng Hall, the hall was brightly lit, as if it were daytime.
The elders of the Lingxiao Sect were already gathered there, their gazes all fixed on Fang Xian and his companions.
These elders, usually reclusive cultivators, detached from worldly affairs, couldn't resist coming to see what was happening after hearing of the sect leader's spectacular duel with a mysterious powerhouse.
The group took their seats, the table laden with a dazzling array of spiritual delicacies.
There were spirit rice cakes radiating multicolored light, sweet soups made from rare spiritual fruits, and exquisite dishes meticulously prepared with spiritual ingredients—all visually appealing, fragrant, and delicious, whetting the appetite.
Chu Batian and his son Chu Yichen were also present, sitting in a corner, their expressions awkward and troubled.
Recalling their previous conflict with Fang Xian, they were filled with remorse, not daring to even lift their heads, afraid of meeting Fang Xian's gaze.
They knew full well that with Fang Xian's strength, they would be utterly powerless against him if he were to pursue the matter further.
At the banquet, laughter and chatter filled the air, creating a lively atmosphere.
Sect Master Yunshan chatted amiably with Fang Xian, while other elders occasionally chimed in, praising Fang Xian's strength.
Liu Yunyan, Li Muwan and Luo Hongxia conversed quietly, their faces beaming with happiness.
Elder Tianqiong and Elder Tianlan elegantly savored the food, occasionally exchanging a few words with the elders beside them.
Fang Xian sat at the table, his gaze occasionally sweeping over Chu Batian and his son, a slight, disdainful smile playing on his lips.
He thought to himself that these people were nothing more than insignificant ants in his eyes, not worth wasting time and energy on.
At this moment, he was enjoying the time spent with everyone, savoring the unique atmosphere of this cultivation world.
As the banquet drew to a close, Fang Xian, taking advantage of the conversation, quietly winked at Fairy Mengli and whispered:
"Fairy, please come to my residence tonight. I have something extremely important to discuss with you."
Fairy Mengli paused slightly, a blush rising to her cheeks, but seeing Fang Xian's resolute gaze, she nodded gently.
After the banquet, everyone dispersed.
Sect Master Yunshan arranged comfortable accommodations for Fang Xian and his group. The rooms were located in a secluded courtyard within the Lingxiao Sect, surrounded by lush bamboo and fragrant flowers—a truly pleasant environment.
As night fell, the bright moon hung high, casting a silvery glow that shrouded the entire Lingxiao Sect in a veil of mystery.
Fairy Mengli lay in bed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep.
Fang Xian's image kept flashing through her mind, filling her with both curiosity and trepidation.
She didn't know what important matter Fang Xian wanted to discuss with her, but deep down, she felt a strange anticipation.
After much hesitation, Fairy Mengli rose, straightened her clothes, and headed towards Fang Xian's residence.
Her heart pounded rapidly along the way, as if it would leap out of her throat.
When she arrived at Fang Xian's door, she took a deep breath to calm her nerves, then gently knocked.
"Please come in."
Fang Xian's voice came from inside, gentle and deep.
Fairy Mengli opened the door and saw the room flickering with candlelight. Fang Xian sat at the table, smiling at her.
His eyes were filled with deep affection and tenderness, making Fairy Mengli's heart race even faster.
"Fairy, please sit."
Fang Xian stood up and brought a chair for Fairy Mengli.
Fairy Mengli slowly sat down, her hands unconsciously twisting together. She lowered her head, unable to look Fang Xian directly in the eye.
The atmosphere in the room became slightly awkward for a moment, with only the sound of the candlelight clearly audible in the quiet night.
"Fairy, thank you for your help today."
Fang Xian broke the silence, his voice tinged with gratitude.
"You're welcome, it was what I should do."
Fairy Mengli said softly, her voice as melodious as a nightingale's.
"Actually, I summoned you here because I have a private matter to ask of you."
Fang Xian spoke, slowly walking to Fairy Mengli's side, kneeling down, and gently taking her hand.
Mengli Fairy's body trembled slightly. She wanted to pull her hand away, yet she was reluctant.
She raised her head, looking at Fang Xian, her eyes filled with doubt and anticipation.
"Since arriving in this world, I've met many people and experienced many things, but from the moment I saw you, my heart has been unable to find peace."
Fang Xian looked at Mengli Fairy with deep affection, his eyes shining with fervent light.
"I hope you will stay by my side, Fairy, and adventure with me in this world of cultivation."
Hearing this, Mengli Fairy felt a warm current surge in her heart. Her eyes welled up slightly, filled with both emotion and surprise.
She had never imagined that this powerful and mysterious Fang Xian would express his love for her.
Even though Fang Xian already had five wives, she didn't mind.
"I...I do."
Mengli Fairy said softly, her voice small but filled with determination.
Fang Xian's lips curled into a satisfied smile.
He slowly stood up and gently embraced Fairy Mengli.
Fairy Mengli nestled in his arms, feeling his warm embrace and strong heartbeat, her heart filled with happiness and sweetness.
In the quiet night, the two held each other tightly.
Fang Xian lowered his head slightly and gently kissed Fairy Mengli's lips.
Fairy Mengli was startled at first, then closed her eyes, immersing herself in the tender kiss. Her hands unconsciously wrapped around Fang Xian's neck, responding to his passion.
Moonlight streamed through the window, casting long shadows on them.
Fairy Mengli was completely captivated by Fang Xian's charm. She knew that from this moment on, her fate would be inextricably linked with the man before her, and no matter how many hardships and dangers lay ahead on the path of cultivation, she was willing to walk hand in hand with him.
Fang Xian lovingly stroked Fairy Mengli's pretty face, chuckling mischievously.
"Now, let's get down to business."
