Free Web NovelChapter 2496: Chapter 2496: Joyful Reunion
Baimei Fairy really hopes that after she reveals she already has an immortal lover, the male immortal in front of her would turn away and leave.
But she also knows that it’s unlikely at this moment, so while speaking, she silently gathers strength. If she finds the other has any intention of approaching her, she’ll deliver a full-force strike.
Sure enough, the male immortal heard Baimei Fairy already has an immortal lover, yet he didn’t mind at all and laughed, saying: "Be it clouds or mud, I don’t care! Let me tell you, I have great abilities and will become the Immortal Emperor in the future! I advise you to leave your immortal lover and roam the Immortal Realm with me, reveling in the Nine Heavens together, wouldn’t that be marvelous?"
Baimei Fairy, full of disdain, stood up and kept her distance from him, spat: "In your dreams!"
She saw the male immortal acting as if he was coming towards her again, her Immortal Artifact horizontal in front of her, eyebrows raised, angrily saying: "Do not come any closer! Otherwise, I won’t be polite!"
The male immortal chuckled and said: "A beauty is a beauty, even being angry has its unique charm!"
As soon as he spoke, Baimei Fairy was momentarily stunned, eyes wide, staring at him, trembling as she said: "You... you..."
The male immortal’s facial muscles and skin twitched, instantly transforming from a plain-looking male immortal into a handsome and elegant young immortal.
For other immortals, this face might be very unfamiliar, but for Baimei Fairy, it’s extremely familiar.
She’s been in the Immortal Realm for years, day and night, thoughts consumed with longing, and isn’t it this face, this person she’s been thinking of?
"Fang Bai, you’re teasing me! You’re going to die! You’re going to die!"
Baimei Fairy stamped her foot, put away her Immortal Artifact, and flew into Fang Bai’s arms, her fists raining down like a storm on Fang Bai’s chest.
Just a moment ago, she was worried this unknown roguish male immortal might use force against her, tense and fully alert. But now her heart is filled with joy, overwhelmed with emotions, crying and laughing, tears falling like rain.
Fang Bai opened his arms, holding her tightly against him, inhaling the fragrance from her hair, and whispered in her ear: "To hit is to be affectionate, to scold is to love, not hitting and not scolding means not loving. Baimei, meeting me with punches and kicks, cursing me to death clearly shows you love me deeply!"
If other immortals heard him, the dignified Emperor’s Palace Master, Immortal Realm War Emperor, uttering such cheesy words, they’d be absolutely flabbergasted.
Linghu Baimei laughed through tears, spat: "Who loves you? You’ve been away for so long without seeking me out, I hate you to death!"
She coiled her arms around Fang Bai’s waist like a snake, pressing her cheek tightly against his chest, listening to his strong heartbeat, thinking that from this meeting onwards, she’ll never part from Fang Bai again, to avoid the torment of longing.
"Baimei, you wrong me. After finding Rushi and Ruhua, I learned you had all ascended from the lower realm, so I started searching for you throughout the Immortal Realm. Little did I expect you to be with the Qilin Immortal Emperor."
Fang Bai said, cupping Linghu Baimei’s charming face in his hands, bending down to plant a gentle kiss on her petal-like lips, asking: "During these years in the Immortal Realm, you’ve suffered quite a bit, haven’t you?"
Linghu Baimei licked her cherry-like lips, seeming to savor Fang Bai’s long-lost kiss, and said: "The Immortal Realm is perilous, cultivation is not easy, suffering is natural! But luckily, I’ve always been with the Lihuo Sect, from the Sect Master to the menial servants, everyone treats me well."
Fang Bai had heard somewhat about the Lihuo Sect in his past life. This sect is not a top-tier sect, but also not weak, and has a respectable reputation in the Immortal Realm, so he nodded: "That’s good. We’ll go to the Lihuo Sect later to express our gratitude."
Linghu Baimei remembered the two Immortal Emperors still in confrontation, temporarily putting aside her tender thoughts for Fang Bai, wiped away her tears, and pointed to the distant flickering void and said: "The Qilin Immortal Emperor is dueling with the Golden Crow Immortal Emperor. Although the Qilin Immortal Emperor is strong, the Golden Crow Immortal Emperor doesn’t seem weak either. I don’t know how their battle will turn out." freewēbnoveℓ.com
Fang Bai attempted to use Divine Sense to explore the duel scene between the two Immortal Emperors, though he could delve much deeper than Linghu Baimei’s Divine Sense, ultimately it was scattered by the shockwaves, so he had to give up. freёwebnovel.com
"Between Immortal Emperors, as long as their cultivation levels aren’t vastly different, the weaker side would, at most, get injured and escape, but not perish!"
Fang Bai said solemnly.
After all, Immortal Emperors can tear the void with their bare hands; once they escape into Endless Space, chasing them becomes extremely difficult.
However, if faced with a powerful opponent of higher realm who can directly confine the surrounding void, the weaker side would be unable to tear through and escape, making it difficult to get away.
"Fang Bai, what realm are you at now?"
Linghu Baimei asked, although she couldn’t discern Fang Bai’s cultivation level, when she focused on sensing, she felt his cultivation level might have already surpassed the scope of the Immortal King Realm.
"Recently I’ve advanced to Half-Step Immortal Emperor Realm! Initially, I wanted to impact the Immortal Emperor Realm, but I fell short... Currently, I lack nothing except time!"
Over these few years, Fang Bai’s cultivation level advanced from Eighth Grade Immortal King Realm to Ninth Grade Immortal King Realm, and a few months ago he entered seclusion again; during that seclusion, he nearly succeeded in advancing to the Immortal Emperor Realm, yet ultimately failed at the last moment, still feeling somewhat regretful.
Just as Fang Bai said, he naturally has extraordinary aptitude and lacks no Immortal Technique Secrets, no cultivation resources, doesn’t need luck or epiphanies, the only thing missing is accumulation of Immortal Qi.
And the accumulation of Immortal Qi requires time.
Within his Qi Sea are seven Primordial Spirits, adding his physical body, equates to eight immortals combined.
Therefore, in order to advance, he needs to accumulate eight times the Immortal Qi that a typical immortal of similar realm would require.
Although he hasn’t advanced to the Immortal Emperor Realm, Fang Bai’s current realm can easily suppress ordinary Immortal Emperor Realm experts, making Linghu Baimei envious.
"I’m Fourth Grade Immortal King, you’re Half-Step Immortal Emperor... Alas, I thought after arriving in the Immortal Realm, my progress was quite rapid; for this, I was quite complacent, thinking I could narrow the gap with you. Unexpectedly, I’ve fallen further behind... So frustrating!"
Linghu Baimei said, looking dejected.
She wrapped her arms around Fang Bai’s arm, coquettishly saying: "Fang Bai, it’s been so many years since I last listened to your exposition on the Dao of Cultivation, you must make it up to me later."
Fang Bai nodded, suddenly recalling something and said to Linghu Baimei: "By the way, several years ago I found Qian Jiao. Right now she is together with Chenyu, Yaorao, and some Emperor’s Palace disciples, cultivating in a Secret Realm."
Upon hearing this, Linghu Baimei was overjoyed and excitedly said: "That’s perfect! A while ago, I was worried about my sister. Now hearing about her, I’m relieved!"
Though they hadn’t seen each other in years, they felt like they had endless things to share with each other, so they sat atop a mountain peak whispering secrets, silently waiting for the battle results between the Golden Crow Immortal Emperor and the Qilin Immortal Emperor.
