Fairy Enters the Mortal Realm

Qian Xunji carried Qian Renhaotian out of the Pope Palace. He summoned Gui Mei and decided that from this day forward, Gui Mei would be the one to carry Qian Renhaotian.

Qian Renhaotian felt utterly helpless. Why did it have to be a man holding him?

He looked at his two older brothers born in the same month—Qian Rentang and Qian Renzong. Which one of them didn't enjoy a fragrant and soft embrace?

Yet here he was, held by a man whose face was anything but pleasant—cold and icy, as if someone owed him eight million gold coins.

He wanted a fragrant embrace too!

Qian Xunji definitely held a prejudice against him!

Even with all his reluctance, Qian Renhaotian had no choice but to endure being carried by Gui Mei.

A month passed.

Qian Xunji felt it was time to set off for the Far North.

Douluo Continent, the Far North.

After a day of traveling, Qian Xunji entered the frozen expanse of the Far North.

For other humans, the Far North was a forbidden zone, but for Qian Xunji, it was merely an excellent place to enrich his harem.

He came and went as he pleased.

Qian Xunji did not know the exact location of the Snow Empress, so after entering the Far North, he had to search for her slowly.

Three days later.

Qian Xunji found the Snow Empress.

She stood on an unnamed snow-capped mountain.

The Snow Empress stood all alone at the peak.

Her eyes were filled with sorrow.

Her cultivation had already reached over six hundred thousand years, and she was nearing seven hundred thousand. However, she felt she could not safely survive the seven-hundred-thousand-year heavenly tribulation.

She wanted to strengthen her foundation to increase her chances of surviving the tribulation.

But she had searched the entire Far North, and every usable treasure had already been consumed, save for the Immortal Herbs that would force her to undergo human reincarnation.

Yet, the variables of human reincarnation were simply too great, and the Snow Empress was unwilling to take such a risk lightly.

Forget it, I will just wait for the seven-hundred-thousand-year tribulation to arrive. Perhaps I will encounter a new opportunity in the meantime?

The Snow Empress sighed softly, her words laced with deep helplessness. She truly did not wish to entrust her life to ethereal luck.

Though unwilling, she had no better options and could only rely on this drifting fate.

"Snow Empress, are you troubled by the seven-hundred-thousand-year tribulation?" Qian Xunji appeared abruptly by her side.

"Who are you?" This startled the Snow Empress. One had to know that her cultivation was over six hundred thousand years; the fact that someone could appear beside her without a sound showed just how terrifying Qian Xunji's strength was.

Qian Xunji did not reveal his identity directly, instead saying mysteriously, "I am one of the few remaining divine beasts among the soul beasts. My true form is of the Dragon race."

A dragon!

And a deity at that!

"Are you a divine dragon beast that has survived since ancient times? What is your name?" The Snow Empress was deeply moved; she knew a few legends regarding the ancient Dragon God.

"Indeed." Qian Xunji nodded and continued mysteriously, "As for my name, it is not yet time for you to know."

"Besides, the less you know, the safer you will be."

Since Qian Xunji had said as much, the Snow Empress naturally dared not ask further.

She then changed the subject and asked, "Senior, are you here to help me survive the seven-hundred-thousand-year tribulation?"

"Snow Empress, I could indeed directly increase your cultivation and solidify your foundation, but if I do that, your limit will be nine hundred and ninety thousand years. There would be no possibility of becoming a god."

Qian Xunji clearly had more to say.

Qian Xunji did not keep the Snow Empress waiting long, soon explaining, "Snow Empress, you have lived in this world of ice and snow, solitary your entire life. I presume you have never experienced the joys, sorrows, and loves of the living."

"If you had experienced them, you would certainly not be unable to withstand this small seven-hundred-thousand-year tribulation."

"Senior, can these joys, sorrows, and loves truly solidify our foundation? Are they not merely feelings of living beings?" The Snow Empress was not entirely ignorant.

But since the divine beast before her had lived from ancient times until now, the Snow Empress dared not conclude that what she knew was necessarily correct.

Qian Xunji already had a strategy. He replied, "Snow Empress, you are both right and wrong. Joys, sorrows, and loves are indeed just common inner feelings, but these feelings contain powerful spiritual energy. As long as one's comprehension is sufficient, once you grasp one, the path to godhood will be unobstructed."

"I have unique research into the power of love and emotion. If you wish to take the second path, I can assist you personally."

"Of course, if you wish to take the first path, I will also help you. Although nine hundred thousand years of cultivation will not contribute much to future divine wars, it will ultimately increase the overall strength of the soul beasts."

"Snow Empress, it is time for you to make a choice. Will you take the first path or the second?"

After hearing this, the Snow Empress believed him. After all, the other party was a divine beast senior of the soul beast clan; how could he possibly deceive her?

Of course, the most important reason was that the Snow Empress did not believe there was any aspect of herself worth the trouble of such an elaborate deception.

After careful deliberation, the Snow Empress spoke cautiously: "Senior, please help me comprehend the power of love. I do not wish to let the chance to become a Divine Beast slip through my fingers; even if the opportunity is slim, I am willing to try."

"Snow Empress, I truly did not misjudge you."

Qian Xunji revealed a satisfied smile and continued his deception: "Snow Empress, the power of love is unfathomable, and it is not something I can explain clearly in a short amount of time."

"From here on, you must perceive it for yourself."

"Cultivating the power of love is inseparable from desire."

"Generally speaking, it is emotion first, then desire."

"But I am different; I am desire first, then emotion."

The Snow Empress did not understand these things well, but she knew that following Qian Xunji's lead could not be wrong. She said respectfully: "Please, Senior, impart the method of cultivating love to me."

"Snow Empress, first find a secluded place. When we cultivate, we cannot allow any other existence to disturb us."

"I was too impatient."

"Senior, please follow me," the Snow Empress said with a slight apology, leading Qian Xunji back to her dwelling.

It was a massive ice cavern.

The interior was magnificent, a blend of nature's uncanny workmanship and artificial carving.

"Senior, shall we begin now?"

"Let us begin!"

Qian Xunji began to guide the Snow Empress to lie down.

At first, the Snow Empress felt nothing.

But under Qian Xunji's masterful technique, her expression gradually began to change.

"Senior, this feeling is so strange. Why do I feel uncomfortable?"

"It is right that you feel uncomfortable, Snow Empress. This is the initial manifestation of the power of love. You must carefully sense the subtle power within it."

"Once you perceive this subtle power, it will be the initial beginning of your comprehension of the power of love."

"Very well, Senior, I understand."

"Mm, Snow Empress, I am coming in."

"Mm, please, Senior, enlighten me."

The Snow Empress was not much different from a human woman; her body was just as fleshy and just as soft.

The only difference was that the Snow Empress's body temperature was much lower than that of a human woman.

To Qian Xunji, it felt like walking into a sixteen-degree air-conditioned room in the middle of a sweltering summer.

The Snow Empress had never experienced such a marvelous realization, and she let out sounds involuntarily.

She did not know why, but she simply could not help herself.

Of course, she had not forgotten Qian Xunji's instructions and was trying her best to capture the subtle feeling he spoke of, striving to comprehend the power of love.

Time slipped away amidst the sounds of pleasure, and the Snow Empress gradually gained a glimmer of understanding in her heart. She always felt she had grasped something, yet she had not fully caught it.

The Snow Empress remained in a state of half-understanding.

As their first exchange concluded, Qian Xunji asked with a smile: "Snow Empress, how do you feel?"

At this moment, the Snow Empress's face no longer held its usual snowy whiteness; it was flushed, and her eyes revealed a thirst for new knowledge.

She replied: "Senior, I seem to have gained some understanding."

"But the feeling is always just out of reach."

"I ask that you please assist me in my cultivation once more, Senior."
