"Make sure nobody is to disturb me!"
The servant boy nodded quickly before exiting the courtyard. It was quite a spacious area, filled with decorative and leisure based constructions. Cherry tree blossoms fell vividly, making no agitating sounds, but rather a quiet soothing melody that helped any cultivator calm his soul.
A natural hot spring spanned across half the courtyard. The surface was amazingly calm, the water was crystal clear, even the stone lions that lay on the edges of the hot spring seemed to sigh in content, happy that they could experience such a magnificent work of nature.
Ripples stretched lazily across the surface of the hot spring as a white toe slipped through the water, shortly followed by a smooth thigh, a tight, but well developed butt and finally the muscular torso of an adolescent man.
It had been a tiring day for Yun Feng, constantly attending never ending arena battles was likely the most time consuming and ineffective cultivation method he had ever seen. Sometimes there were strong opponenets that would give him baftle experience, however those were few and far between.
Yun Feng submerged his entire body into the clear, warm water, inevitably letting out a moan of pleasure. This was definetely the only place one could relax. These thoughts accompanied him as he closed his eyes and fell into a deep slumber.

It felt like hours had gone by, no, maybe even days. Yun Feng rubbed his eyes, yawning as he did so. He knew internally that only a few minutes had passed, but the relaxation property of the hot spring truly made it feel like time was passing slower and slower.
It was only small chatter at first, but then it became audible louder. The curious shouting of children and the murmuring of wary adults began to fill the space.
"That idiot servant, I told him to keep everyone out! He's probably slacking off somewhere again. I'll have to punish him after this so he learns some respect!"
Yun Feng stood up abruptly and opened his eyes wide with annoyance. He was about to shout for guards to bring the insolent intruders out of his residence, but then he saw her. She was beautiful, young, almost angelic, but most of all she was flying.
Flying! What type of concept was that?!
This beauty would have to be Sky Realm or above in order to fly. He was a full three major levels below her, how could he even dare to mutter the words that were about to sprout from his mouth.
"Uhhh, uhhh, Junior pays his respects to senior sister. Please pardon my impudence!"
The beauty stared in fear, but also fascination. "Are you from the church?", she asked timidly.
Church? What sect was that, he had never heard of this sect so either it must be a secluded powerful sect, or something so weak he had never been associated with it.
"No, senior sister, I'm from the Western Region of the continent, an ambassador." Yun Feng averted his eyes from the beauty, afraid that staring would bring bad impressions and possibly even his death.
The girl's eyes narrowed as she viewed the man before her, it didn't seem like he was lying, but him appearing randomly inside their sacred hot spring seemed a bit odd and suspicions.
Yun Feng was now gazing into the surroundings. 'Something was definitely odd here! The stone lions were missing, so were the cherry blossoms, the marvellous gates were replaced with dirt walls. What in the damn hell was going on here?!'
Meanwhile the girl was going on a tangent of thoughts, 'This man is from Prince Roland? An ambassador? I heard the witches in the west have obtained acceptance but I didn't think that his ambitions lay this far.'
"Are you not afraid of me?", she was curious, people from Prince Roland's territory would be more or less accepting of witches, being afraid would be surprising in that situation.
"Senior sister, to speak truthfully I am extremely afraid. After all, you must be from a great clan in order to reach the Sky Realm before the age of twenty. There's no one who wouldn't be afraid of you and your talent.", sweat dripped down numerous parts of Yun Feng's body. Although it was hard to differentiate from the residue hot spring water, he knew on the inside that he was extremely afraid.
The witch crinkled her brows, hearing that the man was afraid of her. It was definitely suspicious, however even basic praise about her 'great clan' was surprisingly heartwarming. "Alright, I will be asking you to come with us, however please... uhh... wear some clothes before you do."
Confused, Yun Feng glanced down, seeing his bare chest, feet and a protruding . . .
A wave of martial power swept across the plains, enveloping his body before forming long plain robes that covered his nude body. "Senior sister, I have stained your eyes, please forgive me.", Yun Feng bowed low before straightening.
"It's fine, let's go" the witch gestured for Yun Feng, the children and the adults to follow her into the dense jungle area.
"One question."
"Yes! Ask away senior sister."
"Why do you call me senior sister."
