"Huan 'er."
Huan 'er, whose back was facing Duan Lingtian, trembled violently when she heard Duan Lingtian's voice. Then, she slowly turned around.
With just a glance, she saw the purple-clad young man standing nearby. Although she had not seen him for a few years, he did not seem to have changed at all.
"Big Brother Ling Tian? I … I'm not dreaming, am I? "
Huan 'er removed the bamboo hat and veil from her head, revealing her flawless face. Everything around her seemed to pale in comparison.
Even the Pavilion Master of the Imperial Tutor Pavilion was shocked by Huan 'er's appearance. He had lived for more than 30,000 years, but this was the first time he had seen such a beautiful woman. "How can there be such a perfect woman in this world?"
"Huan 'er."
Upon seeing Huan 'er's face, Duan Lingtian could no longer hold himself back. He stepped into the air and hurried toward her.
Huan 'er seemed to have turned into a gust of wind as she flew into Duan Lingtian's arms and hugged him tightly. "Big Brother Ling Tian, I missed you so much … I missed you so much …"
She could not stop muttering to herself as she lay in Duan Ling Tian's arms. Two streams of tears could be seen rolling down her beautiful eyes.
"I missed you too."
Duan Lingtian hugged Huan 'er tightly in his arms. The longing that had been buried deep in his heart erupted in an instant.
When Huan 'er had left without saying goodbye, he had nearly gone mad with worry.
Now that he saw Huan 'er standing in front of him safe and sound, he sighed in relief.
"Huan 'er, promise Big Brother Ling Tian that you won't leave without saying goodbye in the future, okay?"
Duan Lingtian said after about 15 minutes had passed. He slowly pushed Huan 'er away and looked into her eyes.
"Big Brother Ling Tian, I've been away for a few years … Have you missed me?"
At this moment, Duan Ling Tian could not help but feel a pang of heartache when he saw the tears that streaked down her cheeks.
"Of course! Big Brother Ling Tian is worried about you. He's worried that something might happen to you while you're out there alone. When you left without saying goodbye, Big Brother Ling Tian searched for you for a long time, but he couldn't find you. Where did you go? "
Duan Lingtian said seriously.
"In that case, Huan 'er's departure was not completely meaningless."
Huan 'er said.
"You little girl, how can you think like that?"
Duan Lingtian was rendered speechless by Huan 'er's words. He could not help but recall the words recorded in the Celestial Talisman that Huan' er had left behind when she left without saying goodbye.
"Big Brother Ling Tian, I'm leaving … I didn't want to leave, but I've decided to leave. Perhaps you'll miss me more when I'm gone, just like how you miss Sister Murong Bing, Sister Kerr, Sister Li Fei, and Sister Feng Tianwu … "
This was the reason why Huan 'er had left without saying goodbye.
Even now, Duan Lingtian still felt that Huan 'er was too willful and childish.
However, he knew that Huan 'er was still a child. After all, she had only begun to see the world after meeting him.
It was understandable for her to do something like that.
If he had to blame someone, he could only blame himself for not coaxing Huan 'er.
"Huan 'er, promise Big Brother Ling Tian that you won't leave again … During your absence, Big Brother Ling Tian realized how important you are to Big Brother Ling Tian."
Duan Lingtian said.
Although Duan Lingtian was coaxing Huan 'er, the truth was, after Huan' er left, he realized she was more important to him than he had imagined.
"Is that true?"
Huan 'er's emotions stirred when she heard Duan Lingtian's words. She looked at Duan Lingtian solemnly as though she wanted confirmation from Duan Lingtian.
"It's true."
Duan Lingtian nodded.
"Big Brother Ling Tian, I don't want to leave you again."
Huan 'er threw herself into Duan Lingtian's arms again. She did not let go for a long time until Duan Lingtian told her that there was someone else present. Then, she shyly pulled away from Duan Lingtian's embrace.
"Senior, this is Huan 'er. She's my … younger sister."
Duan Lingtian held Huan 'er's hand and introduced her to the Pavilion Master of the Imperial Tutor Pavilion.
"Younger sister?"
The old man smiled. "You're my lover, right?"
Duan Lingtian felt slightly awkward when he heard the old man's words. Huan 'er, on the other hand, smiled when she heard the old man's words. "Old man, you really know how to talk. Are you from the Profound Nether Mansion as well?"
"Huan 'er, don't be rude!"
Duan Lingtian hastily stopped Huan 'er.
"It's alright."
The old man waved his hand dismissively and said, "I think this girl is inexperienced. It's only natural that she doesn't know the ways of the world. However, why would the Phantom Fox Clan target her?"
The old man studied Huan 'er intently for a moment, but he did not notice anything amiss. He did not even notice that Huan' er was not human.
Huan 'er was a rare Thousand Phantoms Ice Fox in the Phantom Fox Clan. Her aura had always been well-hidden. Now that her cultivation base had improved, only Celestial Emperors and above would be able to tell that she was not human.
Naturally, those from the Phantom Fox Clan would be able to sense her aura. Those who were more knowledgeable would be able to tell that she was a Thousand Phantoms Ice Fox.
"It's a long story. I'll explain it to you when we have the time, senior."
Duan Lingtian did not intend to lie to the old man so he changed the topic and asked, "Senior, it shouldn't be a problem for Huan 'er to join the Profound Nether Mansion, right?"
"Of course. A Ten Directions Celestial Duke who's not even 100 years old. She's as monstrous as you. You're really trying to squeeze me dry! "
The old man said with a sigh.
At this moment, Duan Lingtian discovered that Huan 'er had become a Ten Directions Celestial Duke.
Just like a month ago, he had become a Ten Directions Celestial Duke.
After all, he had only become a Ten Directions Celestial Duke in such a short time because he had obtained the Heaven Sacrificial Divine Fruit.
However, Huan 'er did not consume the Heaven Sacrificial Divine Fruit.
'If Huan' er didn't encounter any fortuitous encounter after we parted ways, it's true that she's a Thousand Phantoms Ice Fox. '
In the end, Duan Lingtian could only attribute Huan 'er's cultivation base to her true form, the Thousand Phantoms Ice Fox.
As soon as the old man finished speaking, he brought out an exquisite box.
When Duan Lingtian opened the box, he was shocked.
There were two Celestial Fruits in the box. They were none other than the Ice King Celestial Fruit and the Fire King Celestial Fruit.
These two Celestial Fruits could help a Ten Directions Celestial Duke become a One Basic Celestial King in a short time.
Duan Lingtian knew the effects of these two Celestial Fruits since he had consumed them before.
However, he did not expect this.
After the Pavilion Master of the Imperial Tutor Pavilion had given him two Celestial Fruits, he did not expect the old man to give him two more Celestial Fruits.
When did the Ice King Celestial Fruit and the Fire King Celestial Fruit become so worthless?
"Little girl, this is the first time we've met. Here's a gift for you."
The old man closed the box and passed it to Huan 'er.
However, Huan 'er did not accept the gift. Instead, she looked at Duan Lingtian.
"Senior, isn't this a little too valuable?"
Duan Lingtian asked with a solemn expression on his face.
He wanted Huan 'er to consume the Celestial Fruits since she was a Ten Directions Celestial Duke. After all, she would be able to become a Celestial King in a short time if she consumed the fruits.
However, the Celestial Fruits were indeed very valuable.
Before the old man could reply, Duan Lingtian said, "Why don't we accept the Celestial Fruits and take it as I owe you a favor?"
"Brat, you clearly want the fruits, but why are you being so courteous? They're not for you, so stop trying to put on an act."
The old man said snappily, "This is my gift to the little girl … She's called Huan 'er, right?"
Based on what he had seen earlier, the old man could see Huan 'er's feelings for Duan Lingtian. He could also see how important she was to Duan Lingtian.
With these two Celestial Fruits, there was no doubt that he would be able to tie Duan Lingtian to him even more firmly.
Moreover, he found Huan 'er pleasing to the eye.
"Huan 'er, since senior insists on giving it to you, just accept it."
Duan Lingtian said to Huan 'er. At the same time, he made up his mind to return the favor if he had the chance in the future.
"Thank you."
Huan 'er thanked the old man before she took the box and passed it to Duan Lingtian. Clearly, she had no intention of keeping it for herself.
"Huan 'er, keep it for yourself … Don't underestimate these two fruits. After you consume them, you'll be able to break through and become a Celestial King in a short time."
Duan Lingtian hastily said when he saw Huan 'er passing the box to him.
As soon as Duan Lingtian finished speaking, he added, "I consumed these two Celestial Fruits a month ago, and I'm now a One Basic Celestial King."
At the same time, Duan Lingtian could not help but look at the old man. He wondered how many Ice King Celestial Fruits and Fire King Celestial Fruits the Pavilion Master of the Imperial Tutor Pavilion had.
"Little guy, don't even think about taking advantage of me … I only have two Ice King Celestial Fruits and two Fire King Celestial Fruits, and I'll give them to you now."
The old man seemed to have seen through Duan Lingtian's thoughts when he saw through Duan Lingtian's thoughts.
Huan 'er's eyes lit up when she heard Duan Lingtian's words. She did not expect the two fruits to be so powerful.
After a short while, Duan Lingtian and Huan 'er were led back to the Imperial Tutor Pavilion by the Pavilion Master of the Imperial Tutor Pavilion.
The Pavilion Master of the Imperial Tutor Pavilion returned to the backyard and did not disturb Duan Lingtian and Huan 'er's reunion.
"Huan 'er, how have you been these past few years?"
Duan Lingtian asked Huan 'er in the room. He wanted to know what she had gone through in the past few years for her to become a Ten Directions Celestial Duke so quickly.
After listening to Huan 'er's explanation, Duan Lingtian learned that she had spent most of her time cultivating in seclusion.
As for her breakthrough in cultivation, it was natural.
Duan Lingtian was greatly affected by Huan 'er's words.' A Thousand Phantoms Ice Fox is a rare existence in the Phantom Fox Clan that only appears once in a million years.
In Duan Lingtian's opinion:
Even without consuming the Heaven Sacrificial Divine Fruit, she was still able to become a Ten Directions Celestial Duke in such a short time. In terms of cultivation speed, few people in the Spirit Overarching Heaven could compare to her.
"By the way, have you comprehended any profundities?"
Suddenly, Duan Lingtian remembered this important matter.
"Yes."
Huan 'er nodded.
"What Law did you comprehend?"
