Chapter 30: A Long-Cherished Wish Fulfilled

Xu Feng made his temporary home here. Each day, apart from practicing magic with his master, he spent the rest of his time with Corona. As time passed, their feelings deepened.

In the imperial capital, Corona was known as the "Ice Maiden" because she was icy toward everyone. Nobles who had designs on her were all left bruised and battered. However, Xu Feng discovered that this beautiful senior sister was an ice queen with a warm heart. Once he successfully melted her icy exterior and won her heart, Corona became passionate.

Under Xu Feng's gentle pursuit, kissing, hugging, and caressing gradually became things Corona no longer resisted—except for the final step. Of course, it wasn't that this beautiful senior sister was unwilling, but their thatched hut wasn't soundproof at all. If their teacher and Uncle Bater heard, it would be too embarrassing. So, every time, Corona would press her hands over Xu Feng's to stop him from unbuttoning her clothes, her eyes pleading...

Xu Feng sighed and melted in the girl's gentle gaze. There was plenty of time ahead, and for the first time, he didn't want to force the woman he loved.

Time passed, and another month flew by. Xu Feng's progress was astonishing, even Kelaibafei marveled in admiration. Looking at his disciple, perhaps with Xu Feng's talent, he might one day touch the realm of Domain.

Life was peaceful and comfortable, but Xu Feng had already begun to miss the imperial capital. Having been away for so long, Yu Sha must be worried. Xu Feng wasn't the type to abandon the old for the new. Although he had wooed his beautiful senior sister, his feelings for the lovely elf girl remained unchanged—or rather, he loved them both.

This wasn't greed. On Hailan Star, polygamy was a common practice.

"Teacher, I want to leave."

At breakfast that day, Xu Feng slowly expressed his intention. Kelaibafei was a little sorry to see him go but didn't stop him. The outside world was full of wonders, and it was no surprise that young people yearned for it.

As for magic, Corona could temporarily serve as his teacher. If Xu Feng encountered any perplexing problems, he could always return for guidance.

"Alright!" Kelaibafei nodded.

"Take care, Teacher!"

Xu Feng also felt somewhat reluctant to part. His teacher had been very good to him. With the impending farewell, the atmosphere grew a bit sad. After breakfast, Xu Feng and Corona packed their belongings, bid farewell to their teacher and Uncle Bater, and left this secluded, idyllic place.

Entering the Misty Forest, they embarked on their journey back. However, compared to when they first arrived, their relationship had changed dramatically. Xu Feng had become Corona's junior brother, and the two had all but established a romantic relationship. Facing the man she loved, Corona naturally shed her cold exterior. Holding hands along the way, they shared laughter and conversation, making the journey sweet despite the travel.

"Nana, let's rest for a while!"

"Alright!"

Up ahead was a clear spring. The two sat down beside it, took out dried meat, and ate heartily. It was already early summer, and with the midday sun, the weather was quite hot. Fine beads of sweat appeared on the girl's forehead.

Meanwhile, the nearby spring gave off a cool mist, looking refreshingly cool. Corona glanced at Xu Feng, her face blushing slightly as she hesitated. But finally, unable to resist the temptation, she kicked off her shoes and socks and plunged her fair, slender feet into the spring.

Splashing the water, the coolness traveled from her feet all the way to her heart, driving away the scorching heat. A hint of a smile appeared on the girl's face.

Corona's feet were beautiful—small and delicate, with skin as fair as a baby's. Her ten slender toes had nails in a light pink hue, like flower petals.

"Nana, you're so beautiful."

Hearing her boyfriend's praise, the girl felt a mix of shyness and joy. Xu Feng hugged her slender waist from behind and gently kissed her earlobe.

Corona was already accustomed to such intimacy. Smiling, she turned her head and offered a sweet kiss. Xu Feng chased her delicate tongue while his hands gradually grew restless, caressing her alluring peaks...

The spring water was clear, and the forest was very quiet, with only birds singing melodiously. The two lovers, like dry wood meeting a fierce flame, were completely ignited in the scorching summer heat. Xu Feng undid the girl's clothes. Although shy, Corona didn't say anything more, simply closing her eyes and burying her head in the young man's embrace.

Soft as brocade, smooth as jade—when that artistic, beautiful body was revealed before the young man, it brought him an intense visual stimulus. Xu Feng gently held her in his arms, caressing her as he whispered, "Nana, I love you. In this lifetime, I will treat you well and cherish you like a treasure."

Corona opened her eyes, and pearl-like tears slid down her fair face—tears of emotion and joy. In this medieval world, where men were still revered and women subordinate, Xu Feng didn't rush things. Even at such a moment, he didn't forget to make promises to her, moving Corona to the point of tears.

She opened her eyes, gazing at the young man with infatuation. Reaching out her jade-like hands, she wrapped them around his neck, her eyes filled with affection. "My love, possess me, cherish Nana."

At that moment, the girl's heart was completely open to Xu Feng. In this mysterious forest, beside this cool spring, the two became one. In the air, only their heated panting remained...

After the clouds dispersed and the rain ceased, they didn't immediately continue their journey. Instead, they set up camp by the spring and rested for the night, resuming their travels the next day.

Although no ceremony had been held, their relationship at this point was almost like that of a newlywed couple on their honeymoon. Corona's face was graced by a sweet smile the entire time. What was originally a somewhat dangerous journey became filled with beautiful memories for them.

Perhaps it was luck, or perhaps God didn't want to disturb this loving couple, but along the way, they didn't encounter any magical beasts. The perilous Misty Forest stretched before them, a smooth path.

At noon, they finally emerged.

Looking back, the endless trees were still shrouded in mist. Xu Feng glanced at his beautiful companion beside him. When they first came, she was just an ordinary friend to him. Now, she had become his wife. Life was unpredictable, and life on Hailan Star was truly marvelous.

From here to the imperial capital of Althas, there was still a three-day journey. Along the way, Xu Feng was blissfully happy. No wonder people said, "Marry a woman three years older, and you'll hold a gold brick." Corona was a few years older than Xu Feng. During the day, she was like a gentle older sister, taking care of him meticulously. At night, she transformed into a beautiful angel, allowing her beloved to have his way. Marrying such a wife was truly Xu Feng's blessing. He finally understood the saying: "Better to envy loving couples than immortals."
