A few days later Ah Chun could finally see the light of the exit once again. After finding out that the only way to return to her old world was to reach the realm of the creators Ah Chun could not wait to seriously start her cultivation. Of course, she still had a few things to do before that. As for what, Xiao Feng had mentioned as a dragon slayer, Ah Chun was worried about her current appearance. Ah Chun did not know much about this new world as she knew a lot of things were different. She did not know how much of a disturbance her current appearance would make in this world. But it seemed that there were many of what Xiao Feng called half breeds in this world. Ah Chun was actually surprised to hear that such things were seen in the mortal realm. In her old world, such things were only seen in the Heavenly Realm. But it seems that there are many reclusive ancient families in the Mortal Realm that have the blood of many other races. After finding this out Ah Chun was a lot more relaxed.
Once again Ah Chun reached the edge of the river bank where she would need to walk through the frigid waters with her bare feet. Her feet were already red from the cold just from walking along the shore. Ah Chun shivered as she went to step into the water. But as she did, she felt a great warmth flow over her body.
"I can not do much for you in this form. But I can at least protect your body from the cold. If I had known that you were cold sooner I would have done it earlier." An apologetic voice sounded out on top of Ah Chun's head. Xiao Feng seemed to have taken up a permanent position on top of Ah Chun's head in between her horns.
Feeling the warmth envelope her body caused Ah Chun to smile. "Thank you, Xiao Feng!"
Ah Chun made her way through the water that was up to her knees. She did not feel cold at all thanks to Xiao Feng as she finally stepped out of the water and on to dry land. The sun beat down on her face. Something That Ah Chun had not felt for an entire month. Just feeling the warmth of the sun brought a huge smile to Ah Chun's face. Ah Chun squinted her eyes as she looked up at the blue sky above as she shouted out: "Finally free!"
"Seems you have been down there a while?" Xiao Feng asked.
"Un… I was. Little over a month now. I was almost out once but someone smashed into my head." Ah Chun said teasingly.
"There was nothing I could do at that time! I was also caught up in that wave! It was out of my control!" Xiao Feng flapped her little wings as she tried to defend herself.
"I know! I do not blame you. I was just picking on you. But now I need to get an idea of where I am at. I can not leave this forest until a visit a certain place first." Ah Chun said as she looked around her. All she could see were patches of snow and bare ground. It seemed that the fight between the Xiao Feng and the Ancient Dragon and changed the landscape quite a bit. "Xiao Feng, can you keep my body warm for me until we get down the mountain?"
"Yes, that is no problem. As long as I am touching your body I can keep it warm." Xiao Feng said as she nestled into Ah Chun's hair.
"Good, then let's go! I want to try to make it to the mountain base before nightfall. Hopefully, we do not run into to high of a ranking demonic beast." Ah Chun was really worried about running into a high rank demonic beast since she was of such low cultivation.
"With your present cultivation and the fact that you are cultivating such a special cultivation method, you should be able to win against a rank four or five demonic beast. Rank six would be pushing it without a weapon. Anything higher would be suicidal. But do not fret I can ward off anything that is too high of a rank for you to handle. Other than that I will not help unless you are in danger of losing your life. You should take this time to forge your body. I can tell that you have only been cultivating and have yet to fight at all. So your foundation is already shaky. So on the way to and back from wherever you are going. Fight as many battles as you can. It will help you greatly in your cultivation."
Ah Chun rolled her eyes at Xiao Feng's words. She knew that already! But there was nothing for her to battle inside the cavern! She only cultivated so much because she wanted to get stronger faster! She had many reasons to get back to her original world. One was Ning Shen and the other was her mother! The thought that Ah Chun had been trying her best to not think of this entire time popped into her mind. Her mother had gone missing and now she was someplace else with no way of getting back immediately. And with her current cultivation, there was no way she would be able to save her mother. Ah Chun stopped her steps and looked up at the sky again. She reached out with her hand towards the sky as if she was trying to grab ahold of the clouds themselves.
"Shen'er, Mother wait for me..." Ah Chun muttered to herself. Xiao Feng did not say anything. In times like these, it was best to stay quiet and listen silently.
