Soon, they arrived at Xiao Yun's home, the place where they had stayed last time.

But upon reaching here, Ling Zhenfei thought of Emelin. He never expected that Emelin would be such a woman, nor did he understand what Mustafa's true identity might be.

If Mustafa was a good person, that would be fine. But if he was truly a bad person, then Ling Zhenfei's guilt would be immense, as it would mean he indirectly helped a wrongdoer.

Thinking of them made Ling Zhenfei a bit angry. How much trust he had placed in Emelin before! Who knew that beneath the beautiful exterior lay so much deceit.

Ling Zhenfei felt like he had no immunity against women, just like with Jingjing before. He actually let Jingjing go.

That woman had tried to attack him at the airport, yet he let her go.

Ling Zhenfei sighed slightly. Although he was a cultivator, surrounded by many women, and had reached a high level of cultivation, capable of surviving without food for a long time,

he truly had no resistance to women.

Ling Zhenfei and Xiao Yun entered the room. By this time, it was already afternoon.

Ling Zhenfei knew Xiao Yun was also very tired, having been kidnapped for so long, unable to eat or sleep well.

Additionally, Ling Zhenfei needed some time to absorb the spiritual energy within him, so they both needed rest.

Xiao Yun thought Ling Zhenfei was exhausted from the fight earlier, so she didn't dare disturb him. Ling Zhenfei locked the door and then took out the Peach Blossom Secret Realm to enter it.

He appeared in that peach forest, where the once fruit-laden trees were now full of peach blossoms.

The Peach Blossom Fairy was in the forest picking flowers. Seeing Ling Zhenfei's arrival, she put down her basket and came to his side.

The Peach Blossom Fairy seemed very excited but quickly regained her composure.

"You're here."

Ling Zhenfei nodded and said, "I need to cultivate here for a few days."

The Peach Blossom Fairy quickly asked, "Why, are you hurt again?"

"No, I just need a quiet place for meditation."

The Peach Blossom Fairy said, "Then you can cultivate here; I won't disturb you."

Ling Zhenfei nodded and immediately sat cross-legged to begin cultivation.

Cultivating in the Peach Blossom Secret Realm had many benefits; perhaps training here for several days would only amount to a few hours outside.

The spiritual energy in Ling Zhenfei's Dantian was overwhelmingly abundant, the longer it lingered, the more would be wasted.

Ling Zhenfei began his cultivation, aiming to refine all the spiritual energy in his Dantian.

He sat in the peach forest, with the breeze blowing and peach blossoms falling—a breathtakingly beautiful sight.

Ling Zhenfei felt quite happy, for cultivating in such a place was indeed highly efficient.

The Peach Blossom Fairy gathered peach blossoms around Ling Zhenfei, collecting flower dew in the morning, and sometimes simply watched him cultivate when there was nothing else to do.

It was unclear how long he had been cultivating, but Ling Zhenfei felt it had been around half a month, as he finally refined all the spiritual energy absorbed from others into his Dantian.

Ling Zhenfei's power advanced from the mid-late Dawen Stage to the late peak Dawen Stage.

Even though he reached the peak of the Dawen Stage, breaking through this barrier would not be easy.

The Peach Blossom Fairy looked at Ling Zhenfei, "You're awake. Do you want to eat something?"

Ling Zhenfei replied, "After cultivating for so long, I don't want anything else but to taste your brewed Peach Flower Wine."

The Peach Blossom Fairy was delighted, saying, "That's simple enough. This time, I've added peach juice to the Peach Flower Wine, offering a different flavor. Come and try it."

They went to the small courtyard, with Ling Zhenfei sitting on a stone stool, and the Peach Blossom Fairy brought out the Peach Flower Wine. It was truly excellent.

The surroundings had already become completely dark, so the Peach Blossom Fairy lit the candelabrum as they sat across from each other and drank.

Ling Zhenfei said, "I've heard some interesting news from the outside."

"What news?" asked the Peach Blossom Fairy, curious.

Ling Zhenfei said, "They say the Peach Blossom Secret Realm Map was crafted by the Heaven-devouring Star Lord, and he placed five treasures within this realm.

These five treasures correspond to the mountain, sea, river, forest, and flower. They say possessing even one could allow one to dominate the world."

The Peach Blossom Fairy responded, "I've heard that tale countless times. Ages ago, someone extremely powerful came here, far more powerful than you.

He ventured into and out of this realm numerous times, repeating the same tale to me each time and always searching for those five treasures, but never finding them."

Ling Zhenfei said, "It seems what those people said is true."

The Peach Blossom Fairy asked, "Then will you also seek those five treasures in the future?"

Ling Zhenfei replied, "I'm not so bored. Since the treasures belong here, let them remain here."

They drank and ate simple dishes until late into the night.

The Peach Blossom Fairy needed to rest, and it was time for Ling Zhenfei to leave.

The Peach Blossom Fairy seemed a bit reluctant, her eyes full of melancholy.

But parting is inevitable.

Ling Zhenfei crossed the river with the Dragon Tooth Dagger in hand, suddenly feeling as if the river's presence had grown stronger.

Previously, when Ling Zhenfei was at the mid-Dawen Stage, he could easily cross this river thanks to the Dragon Tooth Dagger's suppression.

But now, even though his strength has reached the advanced late Dawen Stage, crossing the river felt more strenuous, despite having the Dragon Tooth Dagger. Ling Zhenfei wondered whether it was just his imagination.

Returning to reality, Ling Zhenfei heard Xiao Yun knocking on the door. Noticing his surroundings, it was already quite late.

No wonder Xiao Yun was banging on the door. After being secluded inside for so long, anyone would have thought something happened to him.

Ling Zhenfei called out, "Coming, coming."

He opened the door to find Xiao Yun outside, sweating nervously, and she immediately threw herself into his arms.

"Big Brother Ling, you scared me so much. I thought something happened to you. If you didn't come out soon, I would have called the police."

Ling Zhenfei said, "I was just too tired and slept a bit longer."

Xiao Yun said, "It's good that you're okay. I made food and have been waiting for you to eat. It's probably cold by now; I'll heat it up for you."

Ling Zhenfei looked at the table full of dishes, realizing Xiao Yun truly made an effort, cooking so many dishes.

"No need; we can eat them as they are."

Xiao Yun insisted, "That won't do; eating them cold isn't good for you."

Saying this, Xiao Yun took the dishes to the kitchen to heat them.

Sitting on the chair, Ling Zhenfei felt a myriad of emotions. Sometimes, he thought being an ordinary person wouldn't be so bad. Having a wife like Xiao Yun, who excels both in the kitchen and outside, would be wonderful.
