Karan got to his room after about two years of living even though it was only a month in real-time. It was night time and he had to prepare for the flight that will reach California in the morning. Still, he doesn't look older because he was now a Grand Magus who can live up to one thousand years.

Cultivators whose age is more than a hundred age slower depending on their maximum age. For example, a 10000-year-old Divine Magus who can live up to 50000 years will look like a 20-year-old Mortal who can only live up to 100 years.

But if a cultivator breakthrough it will not change its current appearance for example in a hypothetical scenario if an 80-year-old mortal becomes a Divine magus in a day he will still look like an old man. His appearance will not change much until he reaches 40000 years. So breaking through different realms as fast as possible is favored by most cultivators as this will allow them to look younger for a longer period. It's not nice if someone becomes immortal as an old hag.

Karan really loved the idea of living longer as the lifespan of a mortal is way less to enjoy and experience all the things the world has to offer. Although he had to convince Esha otherwise he has to spend most of his life without her. He had decided to tell her everything at night of the next day. For now, he just had to prepare for the flight. He packed two bags and informed his hostel's manager that he will be leaving soon.

Ten days ago, the acceptance letter was sent to Karan's room. Xiuying was regularly checking his room as instructed by him. Once she got the letter she handed it to him. The starting date of the semester was announced beforehand which was a week later. Karan was expecting that he will be accepted still he was happy and immediately called Esha to give her the good news. She happily screamed when he told him about the acceptance letter. She can't wait to live with and enjoy college life with her beloved. She bought a house near the campus a year ago when she got admitted to the college and she asked him to come to California the next day but he refused by saying that he has some work remaining here. She was a bit sad about it but eventually focused on the long term happiness.

After making sure that everything is perfect and he is not forgetting anything behind, Karan went to the airport and boarded the plane. It will take some time till he reaches its destination so he went to sleep.

Meanwhile, in The Heavens, Xiuying was standing in a large luxurious throne room that was decorated very extravagantly. It had white pillars, circled in golden cloth, framing a red-carpeted path that leads to a lavish throne.

A woman of otherworldly beauty was sitting on the throne with her face resting on her hand. She had an amused expression on her gorgeous and delicate face. With silky long black hairs, almond-shaped blue-green-grey colored eyes, pink kissable lips on an elegant round face, it can make anyone, men or women, fall in love with her. Her sun-kissed skin was similar to Karan but was much lighter in color. Her face and skin shared a lot of resemblance to him.

Her body could only be described as an impossibly voluptuous with enormous breasts, wide hips, a big and perky ass, and a well-toned belly and slim waist. She was wearing a whitish silky ankle-length skirt with a long slit that showed her sexy leg and a similar top that only covered her breasts showing ample cleavage. Her godly beauty was further increased by sexy heels and beautiful gold earrings.

"I kind of expected that. So all of you agree with him?" The woman asked nonchalantly.

"Yes, My Lady. Everyone has collectively decided to follow your son." Xiuying answered with slight deference.

"You know the consequences your decision will have? Pure Flower Palace will no longer enjoy my protection." The woman warned but still, her voice showed care for Xiuying.

"Some enemies will take action against us but I'll make the necessary preparations to deal with them." Xiuying was adamant. "There's no going back now."

"Hmph... I never thought you girls will be charmed by him so much." The woman was feeling both proud and distressed.

"In any case, what he wants to do now?" The woman asked further to know more about the situation that had gone unfavourable.

"Karan didn't tell anything specific but he wants to explore the world and meet many women," Xiuying replied while remembering the conversation with Karan. "As I informed in our previous meeting he also wants his girlfriend to be with him."

"Umm... not bad, not bad. Though that girl may bring us some problems" The woman's words left Xiuying confused but she didn't press this matter further.

"I assume he wants to join a sect. If that's the case then I recommend Crescent Moon Sect." The woman advised Xiuying.

"I'll tell him if he asks." Xiuying dared not to refuse her but didn't want to take it as an order because Karan hasn't mentioned anything about a sect.

"Now you can go. I don't have time to talk." The woman told her.

"Very well, My Lady. Have a good day." After Xiuying said goodbye, the woman summoned a whitish portal without even moving her finger. Xiuying walked through it to leave the throne room.

It was the morning time when Karan disembarked the plane. He had asked Esha to meet him outside the airport. He exited the airport and looked to find her. And there she is, standing in the middle of a small crowd. Even among a crowd, it was very easy to spot her because of her beauty. She was also looking for him. She was wearing a white top and skin-tight denim jeans with heels,

Karan walked up to her. Esha gave one or two confused glances at him. Since his appearance was changed drastically it was difficult for her to identify him.

"Hey, Esha," Karan said casually as he reached near him. He was expecting that she will not able to recognize him.

"Umm... who are you?" Esha was quite annoyed as a lot of random guys had approached her. She was quite puzzled after seeing him.

"Huh? It's just over a month and you already forget your boyfriend?" He teased her.

"Karan? What... the hell happened to you?" She ran towards him and gave him a tight hug which he retaliated favorably by taking her in his embrace. He was now a lot taller than her.

"Just a growth spurt." He joked. Esha let go of him and gave a slight punch on his arm.

"Not fair. You are definitely hiding something from me. Now you are here, you are going to tell everything but first let's go home." She looked very eager to take him to her home.

"Then what are we waiting for?" He agreed to her. He also needed some rest.

Esha walked towards the parking and Karan walked along with her following her lead. She stopped near a red-colored Ferrari 488 and smiled at him.

"Holy fuck! When did you buy this?" Karan was shocked when he saw the car. Ferrari was his favorite car brand.

"Just a week ago," Esha replied. She was content after seeing Karan's expression. "Mom took my old car so I bought this."

She opened the car and got inside it. Karan did the same. He looked at the insides of the car, which was amazing. The texture, the color, fucking even the smell was great.

"I want to drive too. Let me drive." Karan appealed to Esha.

"Can't do" She instantly refused. "You don't have a driving license. And do you even know how to drive a car?"

"Well..." Karan was not able to dispute with her now. He only rode his bike when he was in school and never learned to ride a car.

Esha started the car. Her house was half an hour far away from the airport. Karan looked outside the car where he could see tall buildings, skyscrapers and all the stuff that screams a big city. They had a lot to share so they talked to each other while Esha drove the car.

"Do you have a break from college or you have to attend classes?" Karan asked.

"Umm... unfortunately we have a couple of holidays but no break," Esha replied. "You have to stay at home all day alone."

"Is that so? Today seems your holiday. It's nice. I have something to talk to." Karan was waiting for a good opportunity to tell her everything.

"Oh no. Today I have to prepare for the party. I am going to be the host." Esha ruined Karan's plans in an instant. "For today I'll drop you home. So we can take tomorrow."

"A party? Am I not invited?" Even he can't talk to her today at least he should know about a party so he can also attend and enjoy it.

"Huh? Of course, you are invited, after all, it's for you guys." Esha was getting a feeling that Karan is clueless about what's going on.

"For us? Hold on. Can you explain it to me? I'm totally confused now." As this conversation was going nowhere he decided to get to the point.

"Uff... It's Fresher's Party. It happens every year to welcome the freshmen in our college." Esha explained. "I'm a member of the organizing team. We have sent an email to every new student."

"Oh... I must have been missed that." Karan smiled clumsily. In reality, he didn't check any emails for the past month.

"You are so hopeless." Esha scolded her but with a smile. "Anyway the party is today evening. And it is highly advised that you bring a date with you because there's going to be a 'Mr. and Ms. Fresher' competition."

"Today evening? That's not a problem." Karan replied while thinking about the whole situation. "And what 'bring a date'? Who I am going to bring other than you?"

"That is not possible." Esha refused. "First, I'm the host so I am going to be busy. And the date must not be a student at the university."

"Huh? What the hell is that rule?" Karan was out of his mind now. He planned that he will rest today and tell her everything after dinner but now there's a party.

"It is what it is. And there is a prize of winning the title of Mr. Fresher which you absolutely cannot afford to lose." Esha's words puzzled Karan. "It's quite simple to win as it will be based on votes of female attendees of the party. It will be not going to be easy though."

"I'll try," Karan replied with a tone that showed he was quite uninterested with Mr. Fresher thing.

"Not just try you must win." Esha motivated him. "And if you didn't bring the hottest and most amazing girl with you I'll not allow you inside the house."

"Wha-" Before Karan can even say a word Esha cut her off.

"Well I'm the most amazing and hottest so it will be not possible for you. You can bring the second best." Esha said like she totally believed her words and was not joking.

Karan decided to remain silent for now. He has some pressing matters to worry about.

"Here we are." Esha stopped the car in front of a single-storeyed house. The neighborhood looked quite nice and the houses were similar.

Karan kissed Esha on her lips before exiting the car. Esha gave him keys for the house and went away after saying goodbye.

Karan entered the house which was very neat and clean. Esha took good care of the house. He took a bath and went inside the bedroom and jumped on the queen-sized double bed. He was very tired so he went to sleep for a while.
