Qin Fengming asked no more, though curiosity filled his heart. Female Fox Clan cultivators were enchanting in a thousand ways. Having married one, how could anyone bear to abandon her, much less hunt her down afterward?
Even Qin Fengming felt that someone so shameless deserved to die.
The two chatted all along the way and found each other surprisingly congenial. Neither felt constrained, as though they had been friends for years.
Qin Fengming began to understand. Female Fox Clan cultivators were lively by nature and stunningly beautiful, so outsiders would naturally covet them. The Fox Clan's ancestral patriarch had established such rules to protect later generations of his clan.
After what had happened back then, however, there surely could not be many who still dared harbor wicked intentions toward female Fox Clan cultivators. Even if there were, the Fox Clan's mighty cultivators would surely have slain them.
"This is where I cultivate in seclusion. You can use it for your own seclusion from now on. I can stand guard for you and pass along anything that comes up." Qin Fengming had not expected Ji Xiang to bring him straight to her own Cave Abode.
"Wouldn't that disturb your cultivation far too much, Princess?"
"The Old Ancestor told me to take good care of you, so naturally I have to keep you close. You can set up a Restrictive Spell around yourself, and you won't be disturbed." The girl's eyes curved as she spoke with a giggle.
Qin Fengming did not stand on ceremony either. After thanking her, he immediately waved a hand to erect a barrier, then stepped inside and began studying the Soul-Condensing Intermittent Pill formula.
It was an exceedingly ancient pill formula. Just as Saint Master Jiang Lingzhou had said, its pill patterns were extraordinarily intricate and obscure.
