Cultivation Online - Chapter 1516: Vulgar Presence

1516 Vulgar Presence

“You’re… much more handsome than I expected,” Zi Xuan muttered in a dazed voice as she stared at Tian Qiyuan’s handsome face.

She had braced herself in case Tian Qiyuan had an ugly face because he always wore a mask. Even though he claimed that it was because he didn’t want to be recognized in public, there was no way to really tell if he was being truthful. However, after seeing his handsome facial features, Zi Xuan no longer doubted his claims of wanting to remain anonymous.

In fact, he was so handsome that Zi Xuan subconsciously reached for his face, gently caressing his cheeks.

Tian Qiyuan would’ve been able to avoid it if it was a surprise attack, but Zi Xuan’s actions were so random that he simply froze from bewilderment, which allowed her to caress his cheeks.

“Ah, sorry. My hands moved on its own just now.” Zi Xuan quickly pulled back her hand once she realized what she was doing and slightly blushed.

Tian Qiyuan chuckled and responded in a joking manner, “It’s fine. I don’t blame you, as I am very handsome, after all.”

He continued, “Anyway, I’ll be spending the next several days preparing the materials, so until then, make yourself at home.”

To ensure the process goes as smoothly as possible, all of the materials are typically refined or combined before the weapon crafting begins.

“You don’t mind me taking a look around? Aren’t you worried that I might steal from you?” Zi Xuan asked.

He chuckled at her words and said, “Unless you want to provoke my neighbor, I don’t see why you would do such a thing.”

Zi Xuan’s gaze shifted to the volcano and smiled.

“Then I’ll have some fun in your living quarters.”

Zi Xuan entered his living quarters the next moment while Tian Qiyuan immediately began refining the materials.

Upon entering Tian Qiyuan’s home, Zi Xuan immediately began exploring the place. It was a simple home with four rooms.

There was a bathroom, a kitchen, a living room, and a bedroom. The atmosphere resembled that of a mortal home since Immortal cultivators did not need to use the bathroom or eat.

The living room was simply furnished with a leather chair, framed displays on the walls showcasing precious materials that even Zi Xuan did not recognize, and a fireplace.

The bathroom and kitchen looked ordinary.

Zi Xuan visited Tian Qiyuan’s bedroom last. Once she was inside, she took a deep breath through her nose and mouth at the same time.

She kept the air in her lungs for a long moment before breathing out again.

“What a wonderful smell~”

Zi Xuan muttered as she focused her gaze on the bed in the corner. Then, without hesitation, she jumped on the bed and started rolling around like some kind of bug.

‘Ahh… why am I so attracted to him? Is it because he can craft amazing swords? No, there’s something more to him, but I cannot pinpoint it…’

Zi Xuan’s excitement continued to rise as she lay on his bed. Eventually, she could no longer control herself and reached underneath her clothes and started playing with herself.

Meanwhile, Tian Qiyuan was completely focused on the materials and did not even bother to check on Zi Xuan.

Days passed in the blink of an eye.

Once he was finished with the preparations, Tian Qiyuan went inside his home to call Zi Xuan. He quickly found her sleeping peacefully on his bed with a satisfied expression on her face. There was also a unique smell in the air that he did not recognize.

Tian Qiyuan went to wake her up after staring at the sleeping beauty for a brief moment.

“Mmm…” Zi Xuan slowly opened her eyes to see Tian Qiyuan standing before her.

“Are we going for another round?” she muttered in a dazed voice, almost as if she believed that she was still dreaming.

“Another round of what?” Tian Qiyuan asked with raised eyebrows.

“…”

Zi Xuan quickly realized that she was no longer dreaming and swiftly sat up.

“Nothing,” she responded in a stiff voice.

“I’m going to start crafting the weapon now, so come with me,” he then said.

Zi Xuan nodded and fixed her robes before following him outside. She thought they were going to enter the smithy, but Tian Qiyuan went behind it, where a gold anvil was located.

“We’ll be doing it out here since we’ll be using unique flames,” he said.

“For your safety, please watch from outside the island.”

Zi Xuan nodded and flew away, stopping right outside the island.

Tian Qiyuan proceeded to remove the upper part of his robes, revealing his otherworldly physique that had been refined to perfection.

Zi Xuan nearly began drooling upon seeing his bare upper body.

“Feng Feng!” Tian Qiyuan suddenly called out.

Zi Xuan’s expression immediately stiffened when the unfathomable presence she sensed from the volcano returned.

She turned to gaze at the island just as the volcano erupted. From the fiery chaos, a colossal figure emerged, its flaming wings unfurling to shroud half the sky.

“A phoenix!?” Zi Xuan cried out loud.

She had initially speculated the beast to be a phoenix when she first heard about it, but the likelihood of a phoenix collaborating with a human seemed so improbable that she dismissed it as a mistake.

‘What kind of phoenix is it? I have seen phoenixes before, but none of them were covered in golden flames like this one! It’s presence is also incomparably stronger!’ Zi Xuan pondered inwardly as the phoenix flew to Tian Qiyuan, hovering above the entire island like a roof.

“I’ll be relying on you again for the next few days, Feng Feng.” Tian Qiyuan said.

The phoenix did not respond; its gaze fixed intently on Zi Xuan.

Zi Xuan’s entire being trembled upon sensing its stare. She had a feeling that she was not being regarded favorably.

‘You are dirtying our sacred home with your vulgar presence, human.’

A cold voice suddenly resounded in Zi Xuan’s head.

“…”

It was undoubtedly the phoenix’s voice, but Zi Xuan could not respond. She feared that it might obliterate her if she did.
