Xia Tian stood alone at the stern of his flying artifact, looking at the small fortress in his hands, and he thought about his plan for it.
[Are you really going to rebuild the inside of the fortress, Master?]
'Yes, Alice. Currently, the inside of this fortress is unfit for habitation; almost the entire interior was heavily damaged by the war in the past. Moreover, some areas were still filled with many dangerous things, especially that Dark Sacrifice Pond. In addition, there are a lot of skeletons scattered around in various areas too, so I have to clean them up first.'
[Well, that's true. However, cleaning up the mess inside is difficult, and we require the assistance of a large number of people. After all, the inside of the fortress is vast.]
Xia Tian nodded in understanding; he had also thought about that. 'Sigh, it's almost winter already, right?'
[Yes, Master.]
'So I'd better go home first, and I'll ask them to help me clean up the inside of the fortress. After that, I will ask Yuhe and my grandpa to send trustworthy people to repair the damaged area and build some houses for me and the others later.'
[But why do you want to do that, Master? I think those few areas are enough for all of you to live in, and we can seal off the dangerous areas. Moreover, they won't stay forever in the fortress, right?]
'Hmm? Although there are several areas available to us, I don't want to risk exposing my women to those dangerous things.' Xia Tian replied with a shake of his head and explained it to her. 'Moreover, I plan to bring them to the Holy Central Continent later, but I can't let them wander outside, because they are still too weak for that, and there are many people much stronger than me there.'
[Oh? I didn't expect you to want to bring them to the Holy Central Continent in the future, Master. But it's a good idea, and that way you don't have to separate from them, and all of your cultivations will increase faster if you all dual cultivate together more often.]
Xia Tian nodded in agreement with her. 'Apart from that, I also plan to go to a higher realm sooner, so they will stay longer in the fortress.'
Alice was surprised to hear that. [Are you planning to directly bring them to the Five Holy Lands, Master?]
'Yes, once I reach the Sovereign Origin Realm, I will bring all of them there.' Xia Tian replied with a nod of approval. 'Therefore-'
"Xia Tian, why are you pensive alone here?" Feng Xian'er asked as she walked up to him.
When she arrived beside him, Xia Tian immediately pulled Feng Xian'er closer and hugged her waist as he answered her question. "I'm thinking about future plans for me and my women, Xian'er."
"Hmm? Can you tell me about your plans?" Feng Xian'er curiously asked.
Xia Tian nodded to her, and he then told her about the plans he had just discussed with Alice.
"Huh? Does that mean you'll be leaving the sect later?"
"Yes." Xia Tian nodded and answered her truthfully. "To be honest, I joined our sect for the sake of obtaining materials for forging, formation, and alchemy. Unfortunately, the sect can't meet my needs, so I'll be going to the Holy Central Continent."
"I see." Somehow, Xia Tian's answer made Feng Xian'er feel sad in her heart.
"Are you willing to come with me there, Xian'er?" Xia Tian asked as he looked at her with a gentle gaze. "If you go with me there, then your cultivation should be able to increase much faster because the energy there is thicker than that on this southern continent."
"I'll think about it first, Xia Tian." In fact, Feng Xian'er also wanted to go to the Holy Central Continent, but she felt indebted to the former sect master, so she found it hard to leave Star Moon Sect. "Anyway, how many people in the sect have you dual-cultivated with?"
"Hmm?" Xia Tian was surprised to hear her question, but he then answered her. "Five women, but one of them is my official woman. As for the other four, I only think of them as my dual cultivation partners."
"Who are the five women?"
"Su Fei is my official woman, while the other four are Xue Ling, Hong Xia, Yao Mei, and Yunzhi."
Feng Xian'er sighed upon hearing that. "I didn't expect you to dual cultivate with them, especially Yunzhi. But did you know that Yao Mei still has a husband, Tian? Moreover, Yao Yin also seems to have fallen for you; I can't imagine Han Lin and Yao Yin knowing about your relationship with Yao Mei."
"Haha. Yunzhi was the one who started it; she tried to test me when I first joined the sect, and since then we often dual cultivate together." Xia Tian then looked at Feng Xian'er. "Anway, if Yao Mei's relationship with her husband is good, then why did she stay in the sect for so many years?"
Feng Xian'er nodded to him; she had known Yao Mei for a very long time, so she also understood more or less about her relationship with Han Lin.
"As for Yao Yin, I don't know what she will think of my relationship with her mother later, but I couldn't care less about her opinion." Xia Tian then paused for a moment before he continued. "Although Yao Yin is beautiful and talented in cultivation, I have never felt attracted to her, and I only think of her as my friend."
"Then what about me? What made you attracted to me?" Feng Xian'er asked with a serious look; she herself still didn't know Xia Tian well, and their relationship was relatively casual, but instead, she wanted her to be his woman.
Xia Tian faced Feng Xian'er and gently caressed her cheek. "From the first time, I saw your painting, I immediately felt attracted to you, and I became even more attracted to you after I met you. If you ask me the reason, it is because of your soul; the purity of your soul is what attracted me to you."
Feng Xian'er raised her eyebrows at his answer. "My soul? Can you see my soul?"
"Have you forgotten that I am a reincarnator?" Feng Xian'er shook her head at him. She certainly remembered that, but she didn't understand what it had to do with her soul. "I've lived for a very long time in the past, and I've also met many kinds of people. That's why I can tell people apart easily, and I can clearly see the purity of your soul and your kindness."
"Does that mean you can also see into my heart?"
"If you will allow me, I can also see into your heart with my technique."
"No! I will not let you see inside my heart." Feng Xian'er replied as she took a few steps back away from Xia Tian, she really didn't want him to read her heart.
Xia Tian chuckled at her reaction. "Relax, I can only use my technique on you if you let me do so."
Hearing that, Feng Xian'er breathed a sigh of relief. She didn't want Xia Tian to know what was in her heart, at least for now.
Sometime later, they arrived at the Yan Sisters Sect; Yan Chenyu immediately descended the flying artifact, and they then continued their journey back to the Star Moon Sect afterwards. As for Nalan Qing, she flew by herself back to the Xia Manor.
--------------------------------------
Star Moon Sect
As soon as they arrived at the sect, Feng Xian'er rushed to the Elder Hall to meet Yu Yunzhi and others.
Since he could not bring Estella and Yan Qingying into the sect, Xia Tian sent them into his Dual Cultivation Space, and he immediately returned to his residential building.
However, as soon as he arrived at the building area, he saw Bing Huang combing Shen Huang's hair, causing him to smile. 'Little Huang is really close to her now, but I didn't expect that Bing Huang could smile like that; even her demeanor isn't cold in the slightest.'
[Hehe, it seems that Shen Huang's presence brought a change to her, Master.]
'Well, that's true.' Xia Tian nodded in agreement, and he immediately walked up to them. "Little Huang! Bing Huang!"
As soon as they saw Xia Tian, Shen Huang immediately got down from Bing Huang's lap and ran to him, and she then jumped into his arms. "I missed you so much, Big Brother!"

My other novels
1. Primordial 'Dual Cultivator' Dragon With System: To begin with, Ling Yun's character was still too gentle and naive, when compared to Xia Tian, but he would change with time.
2. Otherworldly-Cultivator : There is no doubt about Chen Li's character, he adapts quickly, smart, gentle towards those closest to him, and sometimes wise. But he is also psychotic, vile, ruthless, and violent towards his enemies.
3. Zhang Fei-The Abandoned Son: I have started rewriting this novel, and the story will be a lot different from the original novel.
