70 Ice Flower Cave

Wang Li Jie passes by a servant and tells him to bring them a fox fur coat for Xiaolian. He forgot for a moment the Ice Flower Garden's temperature would be freezing to her. They wait inside the palace sitting on a couch, looking out at the spectacular garden that seems to reach to the mountain's edge

"Li Jie when I cultivate this time will I be able to withstand the cold on this mountain?" she is looking out at the ice covered scenery. His Mystical Lotus Star Kingdom has a very warm climate, the landscape is very lush and green. The flowers that bloom there are colorful, the forests are awe inspiring. She has always wondered why Wang Li Jie comes to this Ice covered mountain . It is remote, the endless white beyond the palace evokes a sense of loneliness.

"I don't think this time cultivating you will be able to achieve that, but you always have me to keep you warm" he pulls her into his arms with a mischievous glint in his purple eyes.

" Your Highness, here he comes with my coat", she pushes him away smiling. It feels so comfortable to be with him when he is in a playful mood .It reminds her of when she was younger and he would tease her when he came to the residence to check on her. She will miss that when he finds his Empress.

Wang Li Jie wraps the pure white snow fox coat embroidered with red lotuses around her and pulls the hood over her silky hair. He is staring in her crystal blue eyes thinking she looks like a little snow fox with her little face surrounded by the white fur of the hood. She smiles up at him and he wants to kiss those pink lips desperately but knows she wouldn't understand the way he feels about her.

"Wear these leather gloves", he carefully puts them on her hands. He takes her hand in his and walks to the garden. He misses the feeling of her soft hand on his, but her hands would freeze without the gloves.

The Ice Flower Garden takes her breath away. The flowers are made of colorful ice crystals forming the petals and leaves. They resemble flowers in their home Kingdom. There are red poppies, blue cornflowers, yellow daffodils, white daisies, all her favorite flowers. The willow tree trunks are made from ice, their branches and leaves a thousand snowflakes. There is even a row of Cherry Blossom trees made from ice crystals.

As they stroll through admiring the flowers XiXi has a strange feeling come over her walking next to Wang Li Jie. The heat coming from his body next to her she isn't feeling the cold at all she actually is feeling quite warm. He doesn't seem to notice but her cheeks are getting flushed heat rising in her. She has the urge to remove the fox coat she is getting so hot.

"Li Jie this is really beautiful who created it?"

"The story goes an Immortal named Quan Zhen created it. During his heavenly trials he met a disciple of The Heavenly Cloud Sect. Quan Zhen fell in love with her beauty but she only desired to become an Immortal. He created the Ice Flower Garden to entice her to come to see it, telling her if she picked one and it didn't melt she would reach Immortality after cultivating in The Ice Flower Cave.

He hoped she would marry him and live on this mountain with him. She rejected him after picking the Ice Flower and it didn't melt, thinking she would be an Immortal after cultivating. He was so outraged she would use him like that when she entered The Ice Flower Cave he defiled her savagely then killed her before she could cultivate to Immortality. He had no idea the gods were watching, because of his action in a sacred cave they banished him here for eternity.

"Really? That is too sad of a story, how horrible!"

" At night the servants say you can hear him cursing her, once thought I heard him, might have been the wind echoing through the ice trees.. I really don't know, but I felt a dark aura of malevolence in the air.

Are you ready to go to The Ice Flower Cave to cultivate."

She is feeling a wave of heat coming over her and an itchy feeling in her heart since coming into the Ice Garden. "Yes, are you going to stay with me while I cultivate?"

"I will until you breakthrough in case there are any problems" he is unsure of the stability of her meridians right now after he destroyed the chains that were constricting them. He can't tell her of his concerns. Before they enter the cave Wang Li Jie sets up another Thousand Ice Thread Array on the outside of the cave, he doesn't need anyone intruding.

He is worried about Xiaolian, she can't be disturbed. He is hoping she can access her powers and abilities while cultivating then when she goes back she can be prepared for her journey. Right now looking at her she is incredibly weak.

"I will feel more confidant if you do stay, thank you Li Jie", she tries to bow gracefully towards him but trips on the long coat falling. Wang Li Jie reaches out and grabs her into his arms. His warm lips are so close and tempting. Why is she thinking like that, she feels so hot being held in his arms, she wants him to kiss her. His breath on her cheek is driving her crazy as she looks into his deep purple eyes.

XiXi tries to regain her composure, "Sorry Your Highness" Her face is burning up.

Wang Li Jie laughs, "Li Jie remember" She looks so cute right now embarrassed she fell into him.

"Hee..hee..hee"... WHAT AM I DOING?

They enter the cave and there is a white jade throne in the center of it, Night Pearls light up the interior. It has stalagmites hanging down that sparkle in the light giving off spiritual energy.

"This cave is incredible, I can feel the energy inside already", XiXi looks around.

Quan Zhen watches smiling from the white jade throne in the cave. So the Immortal Emperor has someone he likes. This cave is sacred if he defiles her when he is overcome with passion I can finally leave this place. I just need to wait until he invades her body. I have planted the seed of desire in the girl now I just need him to give into his lust for her. I wish I could plant the seed in him but I need him to react with his own free will. It needs to be his conscious decision to take her.

XiXi can't wait to take off the fox fur coat, her body is getting so hot. She removes it and sits on the ground in the lotus position trying not to look at Wang Li Jie.

"Why are you way over in the corner? The spiritual energy should be strongest in the center of the cave" He walks over to where she is sitting and reaches out his hand for her to hold to get up.

When she touches his hand she feels a tingling sensation into her bones and quickly let's go of his hand.

"Are you alright? Why are you sweating like that? He takes his hand and touches her forehead.

"You don't have a fever but your face is red"

"It's nothing I just think I was hot from the fur coat"

"Remember when you first close your eyes you need to picture a dragon and swirl your palm around three times. If while you are cultivating if you feel any discomfort think of my name I will be right here to guide you." He looks deeply into her eyes as he tells her.

She can't restrain the impulse, she hugs him and buries her head in his strong chest. "Li Jie thank you."

He is startled by her emotional response and just stands there holding her. The feeling of her soft body that feels unusually hot pressed next to his chest, his heart is beating rapidly.

"Xiaolian look at me, don't be afraid, I'm right here" he thinks she is worried about this stage of cultivation. "It will be difficult but shouldn't be painful. It will put stress on your body as the dragon qi flows through your meridians but it will feel more pressure than pain."

She hugs him tighter wanting to press herself into him harder until he is one with her.

"If you don't feel ready we can come back"

"It's not that Li Jie.. I..I..she looks up at him with her blue eyes hazy with desire.

He is thinking she looks very sensual right now, her cheeks are blushing and her lips have a pouty expression. Her body because she has been sweating the white sheer layers are clinging revealing her delicate shape.

I need to hold myself back. She must feel vulnerable this is a difficult stage of Cultivation.

He holds her to him patting her on her head to reassure her. He lowers his head,"Do you want to begin?"

She looks at his lips so close to hers and she presses her soft pink lips onto his. Grabbing his neck she presses her body into his, her soft breasts against his hard chest. She clumsily kisses him again, he is in shock. Her lips are so sweet and her body against him is too tempting. He wants to possess all of her.. he is about to lose control if she continues teasing him with her kisses.

He pushes her slightly off him, "Xiaolian what are you doing?" his head feels dizzy with an uncontrollable desire.
