ATG Formation Master c8

Upon return to his place in the Royal Palace, Cang Long placed her on the bed. He summoned several formation stones and began to set up a proper and solid formation before he began to heal her.

First was the removal of foreign energies. With the amount of wounds, she had all the fire and toxin-profound energies left and floated upwards. It only left her with her Ice Profound energy, which he used to fix her veins as well.

Whatever was left he used to power her veins. Although she had lost most of her cultivation, he was able to bring her back to Nascent Profound without much hassle.

“...Just kill me… I don’t want to live anymore.” Midway, she regained her consciousness.

“Why? Because you lost your cultivation?” He asked her.

“...My cultivation… was my reason for living. How can I be Frozen Cloud’s Frozen Beauty with…this?” She scoffed coldly. She was pathetic, Nascent Profound! Even small girls in her Frozen Cloud could beat her now!

“Then don’t.” Cang Long replied. “Become mine. I will fix you and teach arts and techniques that will make your Frozen Cloud envious.” He smirked at her.

Her black eyes looked at him. 

“...How can I trust anything you say?”

The Prince snorted at such a response.

“You think I will betray or use you? I found you half dead in a forest. If I were someone who didn’t care, I would have left to die.” 

She continued to look at him.

“You are that Formation Prince everyone has been talking about.”

The Fairy learned about him and his abilities, the abilities that make no sense to her.

Even now, the formation is recovering her body at a rapid pace.

“Indeed, and you are Chu Yuechan, the Frozen Beauty of Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace.”

Snort

“I was. Now I am just a cripple.” She said with a sigh before closing her eyes.

Not speaking for a while. It was clear that she was extremely stubborn, but the more he heals her, the more she will be in his debt. 

In the end, she had no choice. There were no routes for her except for one.

“I will… join you. But don’t expect me to have Frozen Cloud Arts.” As she said that, she moved her hands one on her heart and one just above her navel.

With a simple motion, she shattered her arts.

“Ughhh!!!”

“Sheesh! You can do that after I heal you! Damn you woman!” Cang Long panicked for a second. He needed to adjust the formations and restart some of the healing!

The beauty smirked for a second before passing out.

“As if I care about your stupid self-harming arts.” The Formation Prince massaged his forehead.

As he was fixing the self-inflicted damage, his mother poked her head in. She was curious… like anyone would! Her son brought a bloody woman into their house!

“Umm…who is she, Long’er?” The woman entered the room.

“A fairy from Frozen Cloud…or was… as she left it.” 

“Do you know her name?” She asked with even more curiosity.

“Chu Yuechan.”

Gasp

“The Frozen Beauty!?” She swiftly walked over and looked from the side. She could make some of her face, but all the blood was making it difficult.

“She needs cleaning up!” His mother declared.

“Let me finish with actually important stuff first. Like organs, you know?” Cang Long exclaimed angrily.

“...okay…” The woman pulled back. Not long after her, the Emperor himself arrived, having heard that his son had brought a woman home—more like a bloody woman but still a woman.

“Who is she?” He looked at the bloody person in the formation.

“Chu Yuechan.”

“!!!”

“She has crippled herself trying to remove poison, I will take care of her.” He explained, making the Emperor realise his son was finally interested in a woman.

Or, more specifically, he is interested in healing her. Cang Wanhe is certain that this is more of a challenge to him than anything else.

“Then do your thing.”

“I will. Oh, and she left Frozen Cloud. I can guess that she will be part of my faction.” 

The Emperor looked intrigued for a second. It was quite a development!

“I see.” After the exchange, Cang Wanhe walked out of the room. He had an empire to run after all.

~~~

“You should take a bath. I will prepare some clothes for you.” Cang Long commented the moment the Fairy opened her eyes.

Her gaze went to him. He was sitting at the side of the bed, reading a book and waiting for her to wake up.

“I… will.” She moved into a sitting position. She noticed that her cultivation went up; she was in Nascent Profound six. In her opinion, it was a pathetic realm.

But then she noticed her profound entrances… more of them opened!

And… is she cultivating without doing anything!?

“...What did you do to me?” 

“Since you are mine, and by extension, part of the Imperial Family, you get the same benefits as we do, " he explained while clipping a page of the book on its own.

“And that means?”

“Formation of Comprehension, Formation of Purity and Formation of Cultivation were carved into your very being.

Your body grows stronger just by existing, so does your cultivation. You will grow strong without doing anything.” He explained nonchalantly, not even looking at her.

“...Is that your Imperial Family secret?”

“It’s my secret, Yuechan. I made these formations.” He explained. 

She looked at her hand. If this is true, then…eventually she will have Heavenly God’s Spiritual Veins…

And that is a crazy thought!

“I see…” The woman didn’t comment anymore. She slowly moved from the bed.

“Before you do anything. The fire energy you took in and the poison that was part of you. They have been refined and turned into pure, profound energy; consume them to boost your cultivation.”

He flicked something, and a pair of white pills flew over in front of her.

“You could have consumed them yourself.” She commented while taking the pills.

Snort

“You are talking to your prince. Do you think I need something like this?” He rolled his eyes, can’t believe she suggested something like that.

The fairy smirked a bit before inspecting the pills, they have a decent amount of profound energy in them.

“You are right. So far, you are better than most males I have met.” She flicked one into her mouth, and sure enough, the pill dissolved, leaving only energy behind that she guided to her newly healed veins.

She immediately experienced a breakthrough to the next minor realm.

Not wanting to waste time, she took another, which performed similarly, further boosting her cultivation.

The fairy’s cultivation rose to Nascent Profound Eight.

“Hmm…”

Seeing that she was done, Cang Long snapped his fingers and the doors opened, revealing an array of servant girls. 

“Assist the fairy with her needs.” He instructed them.

“Yes, my Prince.” The girls nodded at the same time.

“I can do things on my own.” Chu Yuechan frowned, but the Formation Prince ignored her.

“I will see you soon. Enjoy your bath.” When he got up, his book disappeared into his storage ring. 

The black haired fairy frowned even more. She would get back at him for that ignore!

~~~

“She is even more beautiful than I have expected!” his mother commented as she saw the fairy walk out from the bathroom. She was dressed in the blue robes of the Blue Wind Empire.

“Her new robes suit her better than the old ones.” Cang Long added two bits as he took a sip of his tea.

“You have nothing to say about her looks!?”

“What? I grew up surrounded by beautiful women.” He snorted. Making her blush a bit. She didn’t expect compliments from him of all people!

Regardless, the fairy walked over and saw the pair of them sitting at a table.

“Take a seat, Yuechan, dinner is on its way.” The Prince said as he took another sip of his tea.

“I assume you ignore the fact that I could not be hungry?” She sighed while taking her seat.

“The fact that your body is recovering from a storm you caused by mixing Fire with Ice Profound energy is more than enough factor that you need to eat.” He sighed, in turn making her try to hide her embarrassment.

“I will take up this offer.” She caved in and waited for that food.

“Good.”

“So… umm… Fairy Chu, how did you end up in this situation?” His mother asked curiously. 

The fairy looked at the richly dressed woman next to Cang Long.

“I was hunting a Sky Profound Beast in the Extreme North. I was able to hunt it and get the core, but as a last stand, it attacked me with strong ice poison.

After I returned the core to Frozen Cloud, I went to look for a means to remove the poison. The rest, you already know.” She explained, at the same time wondering who the woman in front of her was.

“You have my thanks for entertaining my mother’s curiosity.” Cang Long chuckled, making his mother look at him and flick her hand at his shoulder.

The Fairy looked relieved for a second. She had heard that Formation Prince was single and had no interest in women.

Which is a bit crazy as all of the princes to her knowledge already have harems.

“Don’t think much of it,” The fairy replied, and afterwards, there was a bit of awkward silence.

“Once we eat our dinner, I will take you to my Profound Palace. We can start your recultivation.” He said, making her relieved.

“Good.”

His mother did notice that the Fairy was considerably weaker. Isn’t she supposed to be the strongest of the seven?

Not long after that, they got food, servants brought over trolleys with food.

“Now let’s eat!” His mother was bored listening to cultivation talk and was excited about getting that food.

~~~

Chu Yuechan looked around as she could pick up how strange the Profound Palace was. The Prince took her to the Inner Palace and straight to his small house. She noticed that he was number one in the rankings at the middle stages of Earth Profound at the age of fifteen…

It was the craziest ranking she has ever seen.

“You can use my number one cultivation spot in the Cultivation Tower.” He explained to her as she looked around before focusing on the tower in the distance.

There was a pillar of light radiating from it. Whatever it was… the whole place was full of Formations.

“You don’t need it?” She asked, eventually.

“It has more than enough space for two people, if I ever decide to join you.”  He tried to tease her, but the woman was like a block of ice.

“I see… Should I start cultivating, or will you teach anything?” she asked very curiously. The woman wanted to know… the secret of his family’s technique. The Dharma Body was something all the fairies were talking about. 

Not just Frozen Cloud, but also people in the Imperial City. She heard something about the Emperor executing people with Dharma Body, simply crushing them into a pulp with its hands.

“Or? Is Yuechan fully accepting the idea that she will be mine?” He asked with a raised eyebrow.

“I already accepted, I even destroyed my old arts. Should be obvious…” She frowned, not liking the idea that her allegiance was being questioned.

“That is true. And what if Frozen Cloud ask you to join it again?” He asked, hypothetically.

She narrowed her eyes, a bit annoyed.

“Are you implying that you can’t trust me?” 

“Not at all. Trust has to have a basis, built on something.” 

For a second, she looked at him before walking over. The Prince wondered what she would do. Then, out of nowhere, she pulled in and started to kiss him on the lips.

Cang Long was more than a bit surprised! How did she come to such a conclusion!?

It was sloppy and very amateurish, but the Fairy had the idea of what had to be done!

Eventually, she pulled back and looked at him.

“Is this fine? A sign that I have no intention of leaving?” She tried to explain herself.
