“As expected, another top-tier Holy Maiden.”
“Heavenly Fox Holy Land, Extreme Ice Holy Land, Heavenly Fire Holy Land, Heavenly Violet Thunder Holy Land, and now the Heavenly Sword Holy Land. The five great top-tier holy lands of the Great Xia Empire’s northern region—all their Holy Maidens have shown up.”
“The five northern Holy Maidens fighting over one man… This is unbelievable. My worldview is completely shattered.”
“I seriously suspect that if the southern region of the empire wasn’t so far from Xingyu City, the five top Holy Maidens from the south would’ve shown up too.”
“Maybe they’re already on the way.”
The guests present were stunned and began whispering among themselves.
The Great Xia Empire was divided into northern and southern territories, each with five top-tier holy lands.
Xia Feng looked at the stunningly beautiful woman in front of him and stupidly said, “Miss Li, hello, I’m Xia Feng.”
Li Qingxue giggled, stretched out her fair finger, and lightly tapped Xia Feng’s forehead. Her voice was soft and sweet, “Silly, you’re my husband. Of course I know you. And don’t call me Miss Li—call me ‘wife.’”
“That’s… not really appropriate, is it?” Xia Feng gave an awkward laugh.
He was certain that if he dared call the Holy Maiden of the Heavenly Sword his wife, the four other top-tier Holy Maidens behind him would definitely explode on the spot.
“How about I call you Qingxue? Or maybe Xiaoxue?” he asked cautiously.
Both were affectionate names, but still much more acceptable than calling her “wife.”
“Then Xiaoxue it is.” Li Qingxue pouted slightly and chose the more intimate of the two.
“Alright, Xiaoxue, let’s sit down and talk,” Xia Feng said, guiding her over to the table where the other Holy Maidens were seated.
Seeing this, some people quietly left the restaurant, but more chose to stay.
They wanted to see what would happen next—and some were hoping to find a way to connect with the five top-tier Holy Maidens.
As for Liu Tianxiang, his wife, and Liu Shiyu, they wanted to leave too, but under Li Qingxue’s sword intent domain, they couldn’t move at all.
Xia Feng’s father sat beside his wife, while Xia Feng stood next to him. Looking at the five Holy Maidens, he asked, “Ladies, I truly appreciate you standing up for me and my family, making such a grand show of strength. But could you please be honest—what brings you here?”
Top-tier Holy Maidens—five of them—had come all the way to this remote backwater to chase after someone like him, a mere Martial Disciple. Only a fool would believe there weren’t deeper motives behind it.
Whatever the reason was, it might bring great fortune to him and his family—or it could bring complete disaster. He had to know.
“Husband, I came to marry you! Will you marry me? I even brought my dowry,” Yu Siya immediately said, then waved her hand. A spatial ring floated into the air above the table. This chapter was copied from novelping . com without permission.
Everyone around was speechless.
Traditionally, it was the man who went to the woman’s home to propose and bring betrothal gifts. This was the first time they’d seen a woman bring her own dowry and beg the man to marry her.
Even if she was throwing herself at him, wasn’t this a bit too desperate?
You’re the Holy Maiden of the Heavenly Fox Holy Land! Could you please mind your image?
Xia Feng looked at the spatial ring, then at Yu Siya. He opened his mouth but didn’t know what to say.
Just then, Yu Siya waved her hand again, and the contents of the ring floated into the air.
Three crystalline treasures, similar to spirit stones, but clearly not ordinary—they contained flowing liquid inside.
There were also three jade bottles, glowing with soft radiance. Just the bottles alone were not ordinary, let alone the contents.
Yu Siya pointed to the red fruits and said, “Husband, these are three mid-grade Spirit Essences. If you bury them in a place with good spiritual energy, in time, they will naturally form three mid-grade spirit veins.”
“Hiss—!” Everyone sucked in a sharp breath.
“Mid-grade Spirit Essence? Able to produce mid-grade spirit veins?”
“With these Spirit Essences, it’s like having spirit veins directly. You could have a never-ending supply of mid-grade spirit stones!”
Their eyes burned with desire. Even the leader of the Iron Horn Sect had his eyes shining.
With the Iron Horn Sect’s current power, they only possessed five mid-grade spirit veins in total.
But the Heavenly Fox Holy Maiden brought out three mid-grade Spirit Essences in one go—what a bold move.
Xia Feng’s heart was stirred. His gaze lingered on the three Spirit Essences for a while.
“These three jade bottles each contain a different pill,” Yu Siya continued. “One of them has top-grade Energy Gathering Pills. There are ten in total. They help Martial Disciples condense internal energy and step into the Martial Warrior Realm. The success rate is very high. This is the most useful pill for you right now, husband.”
Top-grade Energy Gathering Pills?
Xia Feng’s eyes lit up—his heart was moved.
As for high-grade ones, even the best alchemists in Xingyu City and the surrounding cities couldn’t refine them—let alone top-grade ones.
The alchemist who helped Liu Tianxiang refine his Breakthrough Pill ten years ago probably could, but back then, no one realized how poor Xia Feng’s talent was.
By the time the Xia family noticed he couldn’t become a Martial Warrior, it was already too late to find that alchemist.
“The second bottle contains four top-grade Breakthrough Pills. Once you reach a bottleneck in cultivation, you can take one to directly break through to the next realm—all the way up to the Martial Venerable Realm,” Yu Siya said, holding up the second jade bottle.
She knew Xia Feng’s early cultivation would be difficult due to his poor talent.
Even after reaching a bottleneck, it would take him a long time to break through.
With these Breakthrough Pills, he could instantly break through upon reaching each bottleneck—just like Liu Tianxiang did when he advanced to the Martial King Realm.
“Hiss! Four Breakthrough Pills?”
“From Martial Warrior to Martial Master, from Martial Master to Martial King, Martial King to Martial Lord, and Martial Lord to Martial Venerable—this covers all his breakthroughs!”
“Using Breakthrough Pills to advance may not produce strength equal to those who break through on their own, but for someone with poor talent, it’s more than enough.”
“As expected of the Heavenly Fox Holy Maiden. Such generosity is terrifying. Every single Breakthrough Pill is extremely rare—especially top-grade ones. And she just handed over four!”
The entire place was in shock. The discussions grew louder as everyone stared at the bottle of Breakthrough Pills with fiery eyes.
Even the powerful cultivators from sects like the Iron Horn Sect were deeply shaken.
Xia Feng couldn’t help but swallow—this dowry was too tempting.
Liu Tianxiang, still suffering under the sword intent, had his eyes wide open.
He had struggled for years to gather ingredients and only managed to get a single mid-grade Breakthrough Pill to reach the Martial King Realm. Yet the Heavenly Fox Holy Maiden casually offered four top-grade ones? The gap was immense.
“The last bottle contains one Reconstructing Pill. It can rebuild a damaged dantian,” Yu Siya said, pointing to the final jade bottle.
“Rebuild the dantian?” Xia Feng cried out in surprise, his voice full of emotion.
His father’s body also trembled. He stared at the bottle of Reconstructing Pill with unblinking eyes.
With this Reconstructing Pill, he could rebuild his dantian—and return to the path of cultivation.
