"Brother Jingren, please have a seat here while I prepare so tea and a Spiritual Feast for you."
Not knowing how to face Xu Xing, Ding Jingyu's pretty face turned pale after saying these words to him, and she fled from the courtyard.
Although Cultivators possess Leak-proof Bodies and don't need to eat or drink, they often consu Spiritual Feasts to satisfy their cravings.
Did I go too far?
Seeing Ding Jingyu leave quickly, Xu Xing was stunned for a mont, wondering to himself.
It's not like she made a huge mistake.
Xu Xing shook his head, planning to change his attitude towards Ding Jingyu.
Indifference can be a kind of pressure for those who are sensitive.
Ding Jingyu would be his spouse in the Evergreen Immortal World, and he didn't want their relationship to be discordant.
The Jing'an Ding Family had decided on an internal marriage alliance, and Ding Jingyu knew about it before he did but didn't tell him. This made it seem like her fault.
However, Xu Xing didn't think so.
Internal marriage is the Jing'an Ding Family's inevitable strategy to control , a Pride of Heaven from a Concubine Lineage. Compared to other asures, this alliance is already considered gentle. Without Ding Jingyu, the Family would have sent another daughter from the Ding Family. This ti, although Ding Jingyu benefited and was one of the 'perpetrators' against , the mistake can't be entirely blad on her. Ding Jingyu is just a pawn. Moreover, once Ding Jingyu marries , she will be branded with my mark; she will be my person. An excellent ruler should understand how to 'turn enemies into friends,' not 'turn friends into enemies.' Cultivation, like warfare, is about minimizing enemies and maximizing friends. When it cos to choosing between the Jing'an Ding Family and , her spouse, I believe Ding Jingyu will have a clear answer. Choosing this marriage alliance is, in itself, a way for and the Jing'an Ding Family to 'fight without breaking.' As long as we don't reach the point of flipping the table, Ding Jingyu and her Third Branch will always stand behind . From the mont I agreed to the marriage alliance, I not only gained Resources from the Jing'an Ding Family but also a ticket to their High-level mbers. A prefecture-level Family, especially one with Free Immortals, possesses an imnse amount of Resources.
「Thirty minutes later.」
Ding Jingyu appeared at the courtyard door, carrying a few pastries and a pot of freshly brewed Spirit Tea.
"Brother Jingren, please try this. This is osmanthus cake I made..."
Ding Jingyu gritted her teeth and walked towards Xu Xing, forcing herself to start playing the role of a wife.
Xu Xing nodded slightly. He picked up his chopsticks, tasted a few different pastries, and then, while the sweetness still lingered in his mouth, sipped the Spirit Tea.
The fragrance of the tea filled his mouth, and a trace of Spiritual Energy refreshed his heart.
"It's good."
Xu Xing's eyes showed appreciation.
"Sister Jing Yu, your pastries are delicious. Could you have soone send so to my Cave Mansion from ti to ti?" Xu Xing pondered for a mont before saying.
"Really?" Hearing this, Ding Jingyu instantly raised her Qiufu, her apricot eyes sparkling.
"From ti to ti, I will send pastries to Brother Jingren's Cave Mansion."
Her face turned scarlet, and she imdiately agreed.
"However, don't neglect your own Cultivation while making pastries."
Xu Xing thought for a mont and added a few more words of concern.
Another hour passed. Seeing that it was getting late, Xu Xing rose to take his leave. After all, this was Elder Hongyan's Cave Mansion, and it was inconvenient for him to stay too long.
...
...
「After Xu Xing left.」
Elder Hongyan ca to the courtyard. Seeing Ding Jingyu staring blankly at the empty porcelain plate, she couldn't help but walk over and gently stroke her Disciple's Qiufu.
A dozen years ago, I took Ding Jingyu as my Disciple reluctantly, owing a favor to a High-level mber of the Jing'an Ding Family. However, after accepting Ding Jingyu as my Disciple, I didn't hold any resentnt over the matter and instead truly regarded her as my Direct Disciple.
"What's wrong? Still a little reluctant to part with your spouse?"
As an experienced person, Elder Hongyan saw Ding Jingyu's thoughts at a glance. She pursed her lips, smiled faintly, and teased.
Xu Xing and Ding Jingyu's conversation couldn't be hidden from her, a God Transformation Expert.
From their interaction, I can see that Xu Xing is quite 'gentle' towards Ding Jingyu. He's a good husband.
"Master." Ding Jingyu's pretty face turned slightly red, and she pouted charmingly.
"Alright, I won't tease you anymore." Elder Hongyan shook her head. "Your Second Aunt sent a Talismanic ssage, inviting to discuss your wedding date."
It was not out of place for a Master, who was also a close elder to a Cultivator, to be involved in deciding their Disciple's marriage matters.
"We'll decide on the wedding date after your Nascent Soul Success is achieved," she pondered.
A Cultivator's primordial yin and primordial yang can slightly increase the success rate for both Condensing Pills and Nascent Soul formation. Although this increase is negligible, and not as effective as a Nascent Soul Condensing Pill, Pill Fragnt into Nascent Formation is inherently dangerous. Any extra assurance, however small, is better than none.
"This Disciple will follow Master's arrangents."
Ding Jingyu lowered her head.
...

「Chiming World, Jade Void Island.」
While his "other self" in the Evergreen Immortal World was busy with marriage matters, Xu Xing, at this mont, had arrived at the Jade Void Island's Island Master's Mansion with a group of Nascent Soul Cultivators.
"Before entering the Jade Void Minor World, there are a few points everyone needs to be aware of."
"First, you cannot spend too much ti in the Jade Void Minor World. The limit is five days. After five days, you must return; otherwise, we will close the Two Realms Passage."
"At that ti, if you wish to escape, you will either have to find other ans or wait for one hundred years until the Two Realms Passage reopens."
"Second, of any Treasures you obtain in the Jade Void Minor World, Jade Void Island has the right to select one."
"However, rest assured, we at Jade Void Island will provide appropriate compensation."
