“I am a dual cultivator, Big Sis.”

Hearing that, Xia Xing looked at Xia Tian in shock, and somehow his confession made her sad. As a cultivator surely she knew about dual cultivators, she also knew that dual cultivators had many women by their side, so she dejectedly asked. “Do you already have a dual cultivation partner, Little Tian?”

Xia Tian looked at Xia Xing in confusion, as he felt confused by Xia Xing suddenly being dejected, and he didn’t understand why she became like that after she knew that he was a dual cultivator.

Alice suddenly scoffed him. [Tsk, you really are clueless and dense about women, Master! She became like that because she likes you, or rather she likes the real Xia Tian, and she is sad because she knows that a dual cultivator must have many women.]

Xia Tian was stunned for a moment, but he did not refute Alice’s words, as he himself was aware of it. He then cupped Xia Xing’s cheek, and looked at her seriously.

However, a moment later Xia Xing’s eyes widened, because Xia Tian suddenly kissed her pink lips. Xia Tian then tried to put his tongue in her mouth, but unfortunately Xia Xing didn’t have any modern experience, so she didn’t understand French kissing. Xia Tian then used his lips to open her lips, and his tongue immediately invaded her mouth, but Xia Xing’s kiss was clumsy, she bit Xia Tian’s tongue a few times, as this was her first time kissing a man.

After a few minutes Xia Tian parted their lips, Xia Xing blushed then buried her face into Xia Tian’s chest, and she shyly said. “You stole my first kiss, Little Tian.”

“But you like it, right?” Xia Tian embraced Xia Xing in his arms.

Xia Xing didn’t answer, her face blushed brightly, but a happy smile appeared on her face, and she gently rubbed her lips. But a few moments later her expression turned sad again, because the relationship between them couldn’t possibly happen, since they were biological cousins.

But suddenly Xia Tian said to her. “You don’t have to think about it, one day I will definitely tell Aunt Xue about our relationship, if she doesn’t approve of our relationship, then I will definitely convince her to approve of our relationship.”

“En.” Xia Xing only nodded slightly, and she smiled wholeheartedly in his embrace.

“Let’s go see grandpa and the others, you haven’t met Aunt Xue either, have you?” Xia Tian then let go of his embrace, and he took Xia Xing’s hand towards the dining room, because it was already evening.

On the way there, they passed Xia Ning who was also heading to the dining room, Xia Ning immediately blushed when she saw Xia Tian. But she immediately raised her eyebrows when she saw Xia Tian and Xia Ning holding hands, it made Xia Tian shake his head, and he inwardly laughed.

Xia Ning’s attitude did not escape Xia Xing’s eyes, especially when she saw the red hue on her cheeks, as well as her bashful look. It made her wonder about her second aunt relationship with Xia Tian, ??because she remembered their relationship was so bad, but now her second aunt’s expression was like a jealous shy girl when she saw them, and suddenly a mischievous smile appear on her face.

Before long they had arrived at the dining room, Xia Ling, Liu Ying, Chen Xue, and Xia Han were already waiting for them. Chen Xue frowned as soon as she saw her daughter hugging Xia Tian’s arms so affectionately, and she couldn’t help but sigh and mutter in her heart. ‘Looks like I’ll have to talk to Xing’er later.’

In contrast to Chen Xue’s reaction, Liu Ying and Xia Han smiled seeing them. But then Liu Ying raised her eyebrows when she saw the blush on Xia Ning’s face, because her sister-in-law had been acting strange since morning, she even asked to see her son, even though their relationship was never good, and that made her even more suspicious about them.

Once Xia Tian, ??Xia Xing, and Xia Ning took their respective seats. Xia Ling immediately narrowed his eyes, and he asked Xia Tian. “Don’t you want to tell us about your cultivation, Little Tian?”

Hearing Xia Ling’s words, Chen Xue and Xia Han immediately turned to Xia Tian, ??and they looked at Xia Tian in shock. Then they observed Xia Tian’s body, and before long they were shouting in shock at the same time. “1st Stage Qi Gathering Realm!!”

Xia Tian shrugged casually, then he said with a smile. “Actually I want to tell you guys right now, but you are really impatient, Grandpa. As you guys already feel, I can cultivate now, and currently my cultivation has indeed reached the 1st Stage Qi Gathering Realm.” 𝚘𝚟𝚕．ｔ

,m Fortunately, Xia Tian had Alice, and she was able to help him to disguise his cultivation, and he asked her to display his cultivation only at the 1st Stage Qi Gathering Realm.

But it also made Xia Ning and Xia Xing wonder in their hearts, because they knew for sure that Xia Tian’s cultivation was at the 4th Stage Qi Gathering Realm, but now they could only feel that his cultivation was only at the 1st Stage Qi Gathering Realm.

“How did you recover your spiritual root, Little Tian?” Xia Ling asked in shock, he was really shocked because suddenly his grandson’s spiritual root had recovered, and he didn’t even know anything about it, moreover his cultivation had also reached the 1st Stage Qi Gathering Realm.

“This-”

Liu Ying immediately interrupted Xia Tian, and she explained. “I accidentally met an old alchemist, Dad. But I don’t know where he is from, we had a discussion for some time, and he gave me the recipe for medicinal liquid to restore spiritual root. Just yesterday I made the medicinal liquid, then I asked Tian ‘er to give it a try, and as you can all see Tian’er is able to cultivate now. As for his cultivation, he immediately reached the 1st Stage Qi Gathering Realm once he spiritual root recovered.”

Xia Ling was still suspicious of Liu Ying’s words, but then he shook his head, and he said with a smile. “This is really good, I’m really relieved and happy to see you can cultivate, Little Tian. But you have to be careful, because many people know that all this time your spiritual root was crippled, and now that you’ve suddenly recovered, it will definitely cause an uproar in this kingdom.”

“Relax, Grandpa. I understand that.” Xia Tian replied casually by nodding.
