The cultivators at the table, loudly discussing the romantic affairs of Xihua Fairy, suddenly paused upon hearing Yang Fei’s inquiry.

Immediately, someone laughed and said, "Wow, what a handsome young brother! Haha, are you planning to offer yourself as a pillow ally to Xihua Fairy?"

The others also sized up Yang Fei, convinced that this young man was indeed handsome and robust, belonging to the top-tier of looks even in the Cultivation World.

"Heh, heh, and actually a Core Formation Stage cultivator, tsk tsk, your conditions just meet the threshold of being suitable for Xihua Fairy’s search for a Dao companion, you should give it a try."

"Indeed you can try. However, fellow cultivator, think carefully: Xihua Fairy’s name means flower cherishing, yet she doesn’t cherish flowers at all. I see your Dao companion is already a top-grade existence in the mortal realm, why degrade yourself?"

"Perhaps it’s that he’s encountered some insurmountable obstacle in cultivation and wants to make one last gamble?"

With the last person’s words, everyone again carefully scrutinized Yang Fei, and someone even used their Divine Sense to probe, seemingly trying to discern if there truly was something wrong with Yang Fei.

A formidable cultivator at the middle stage of Core Formation, unless crazy, why would he specifically come to West Phoenix Valley to offer himself to Xihua Fairy?

Seeing everyone in the tavern looking towards him, Yang Fei showed a few expressions of urgency and decisiveness and firmly said, "I can’t wait any longer, I must meet Xihua Fairy, she is my last hope."

When he said this, the cultivators inside confirmed even more that he had reached a desperate situation, hence it was not surprising that he wanted to offer himself to Xihua Fairy.

There were many tales about West Phoenix Valley, similar to cultivators like Yang Fei who encountered bottlenecks in cultivation or whose life was nearing its end, hoping to cling to Xihua Fairy for a slim chance of survival, such occurrences hadn’t been unheard of.

After all, many handsome male cultivators have come to West Phoenix Valley, attempting to obtain precious cultivation resources unavailable in the Southern Domain from Xihua Fairy, or some spies sent by major sects tried to investigate the method Xihua Fairy used to acquire those Outer Domain treasures.

There were even male cultivators practicing Dual Cultivation Techniques who believed their techniques were superior and intentionally came to challenge Xihua Fairy.

Overall, over the years, the people coming to West Phoenix Valley were of various types with all kinds of purposes, which wasn’t strange.

Opposite them, a square-faced Core Formation male cultivator glanced up and down at Yang Fei, then at Qin Yanyang beside him, and a gleam of covetousness flashed in his eyes. He chuckled at Yang Fei, "Young brother really intends to offer yourself as a pillow ally?"

Yang Fei forced a smile, "This is my final chance. I wonder if this fellow cultivator knows where Xihua Fairy resides? How can a young one like myself meet her?"

"It’s simple. You just need to go to Hehuan Residence, and inform the gatekeepers of your purpose. Given your conditions, they should lead you to meet Xihua Fairy. Haha, commendable courage, young brother. But if you’re truly at the end of the road, witnessing Xihua Fairy’s beauty before you die is quite worthwhile."

After saying this, he warmly pointed in a general direction at Yang Fei, "Just inquire along the way, and you’ll find the location of Hehuan Residence."

"Indeed, Hehuan Residence is where Xihua Fairy lives and is the most famous place in West Phoenix Valley, one question and you’ll know."

Yang Fei clasped his fist in gratitude, "Thanks to the fellow cultivator for the information."

Having said that, he led Qin Yanyang downstairs and left.

"Brother Wang, shall we wager on whether this lad will catch Xihua Fairy’s eye?"

"I can’t see anything wrong with this lad, and his Life Qi Mechanism is vibrant, maybe his true age is young, plus this good appearance, he might indeed have a chance to become Xihua Fairy’s male companion."

"Indeed, after all being at the middle stage of Core Formation is quite qualified."

Qin Yanyang followed Yang Fei out of the tavern and transmitted, "Are you really going directly to find Xihua Fairy?"

Yang Fei nodded, "Otherwise what? That Xihua Fairy is a late-stage Nascent Soul powerhouse, with such a realm she can establish a local force like West Phoenix Valley next to Shang Qing Sect and Shen Family’s land, there must be powerful background connections behind her. Otherwise, even Shen Wanjing wouldn’t dare provoke her easily.

I’ve come to rescue Sun Xingyu. With our current Cultivation Realm, forcefully capturing Sun Xingyu is as difficult as ascending to heaven, better to visit directly.

Don’t forget, I have Shen Wanjing’s handwritten letter with me. With this letter, even if Xihua Fairy doesn’t release Sun Xingyu in person, she should give Shen Wanjing some face, and shouldn’t harm me."

Qin Yanyang glanced at him and suddenly laughed, "You are much more handsome than Sun Xingyu, just afraid Shen Wanjing’s letter may not be enough."

Yang Fei pursed his lips, "I don’t think so. There are countless handsome men and women in the Cultivation World, even if Xihua Fairy likes handsome men, she wouldn’t ignore Brother Shen’s face."

Qin Yanyang snorted, "Who knows. Honestly tell me, do you secretly wish Xihua Fairy will fancy you?"

Yang Fei hurriedly said, "Impossible. That Xihua Fairy is at least a thousand years old, I’m in my forties, she’s a millennium old beast to me, a scarlet skeleton, no matter how she wouldn’t attract me, I like the young ones."

Qin Yanyang glanced askance at him, "Do you think I am old then?"

"Oh, my dear wife, you weren’t like this before, plus your age in the Cultivation World is clearly a young girl, now you are at early-stage Core Formation, with at least five hundred years of life, what’s your age anyway."

Qin Yanyang smiled lightly.

Although she’s already in her forties, she’s never felt her age was too much, after all, most of the time in the past twenty years she was in secluded cultivation. Though time passed quickly, her realm advancement was enormous, as a cultivator, she could feel the youthful vitality in her body and her mindset was incredibly strong and confident.

Laughing and chatting, the two soon arrived at the entrance of a large courtyard. 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

Yang Fei couldn’t help but gaze skyward, then quickly looked around, shocked internally.

This vast West Phoenix Valley possesses a powerful array, and the courtyard before them is the central region of the whole array.

Yang Fei, though far from the array masters of the Southern Domain, was relatively proficient in formations, thus he discerned the clues at a glance.

However, this array wasn’t completely concealed, meaning the person setting it up wasn’t afraid of it being discovered, hence, as long as one is well-versed in formations and has a realm of Core Formation cultivation, they will sense its existence.

Two female cultivators at the gate of Hehuan Residence guarded it, both of great appearance were at late-stage Foundation Establishment, their aura vastly superior compared to ordinary people.

When Yang Fei led Qin Yanyang to appear here, the two female guards also set their gaze upon Yang Fei, their eyes brightened upon him, exchanged a glance, and quickly approached him.

"Are the two fellow cultivators here to pay respects to our Immortal?"

The two late-stage Foundation Establishment female cultivators stopped not far from Yang Fei and Qin Yanyang, one inspecting Yang Fei like a piece of merchandise, nodding continuously as if very satisfied.
