Inside a small and simple but yet beautiful wooden house, sat a young woman around 17 years of age. whose beauty could make almost any man lose his head for her. Yet on her face, she had a troubled look, but none would say it made her look any less perfect.

She was around 1,6 meters high, had a slender body with just the right curves, and long sky blue hair and deep blue eyes. her pointy ears and elven charm combined with her hair and eyes with the coolers seen only from the fay, she had a rather exotic look to her. but also the look of a warm and caring girl whom was friendly and would smile to all. the typical good girl aura. Though she herself would say differently.

Suddenly the young woman stood up from her meditational position. and rushed towards a small hot spring that was just out in the back of her small home.

Upon arriving, She took off her long silvery silk robe, and exposed her naked body to the mild air before she went and sad down in the warm waters. The sight of her undressing herself was one must man would lose all sense of reason if they were to witness it.

“arhhh! Why can’t I break through!” she said in an annoyed voice that yet still sounded heavenly.

Aura was a cultivator of the tenth level of soul holding, the third great realm of cultivation. For being only 17 years old this was on the side of being rather high, and within her sect, she also held the title of a genius.

A long sigh could be heard from her as she sunk down to her shoulders in the warm water.

“I was so happy when I joined the sect, but who would have thought that the biggest sect in the whole world would also end up as the source of my biggest worries!” she muttered to herself as she once more sunk into a state of meditation.

After a few hours, she once more opened her eyes and let out a sigh. “still can’t seem to breakthrough on my own, might need a little something.” She said in a small voice before nodding to herself.

Having made the decision, she walked out of her bath and back into the house, without paying any heed to her own nakedness. There was only a total of three rooms, the main living room which had both a small kitchen and a sleeping area, as well as a table in the middle of the room.

One of the other two rooms was something akin to a storeroom and the other a place there was sealed off so that one could practice hidden and secret arts without anyone being able to feel it.

She went towards the small storeroom and entered without hesitation.

This room was filled with countless things, must of them looking like gifts. Money, jewellery, weapons and armour and useful pills and elixirs for cultivation and much more. All in all, this room was like a small treasury.

Aura was after all not just any cultivator, no she was a member of the endless forest sects seven beauties and ranked as number 4. And as one of the 7 queens of beauty, there was no shortage of admirers who was more than willing to give her very valuable gift willingly.

“it might have been a mistake not to take advantage of all of this until now,” she said to herself as she started to look through the piles of stuff for something to help her break into the fourth realm.

She had been stuck at this bottleneck for a long time. but had never wanted to use any of all these gifts, which she never even asked for.

“let’s see let’s see, what do we have here. Wow! Who gave me this!?” she said as she found a small bottle of pills. “must be one of the princes, yeah I can’t think of anyone else who would give something like this away.”

This novel is published on a different platform. Support the original author by finding the official source.

She took the pill bottle and was about to store it in her robes when she noticed her own nakedness. She let out a deep sigh. “I must be losing it due to stress. Well there might be something here to help me deal with that” she said while looking over the what looked like endless piles of gifts. “nahh better not” she said while slowly shaking her head.

She went back out towards the bath. After having taken one of the pills she once more sat down in the bath to meditate.

Aura was a Halfling between a fay and an elf. her father a fay and a free cultivator. which are those who does not belong to any sect or clan. He has even reached the sixth realm, the Soul forming realm. this was seen as rather good for a free cultivator as they only had themselves to rely on for cultivation. As opposed to members of sects or clans who got both pills and elixirs.

He is making a living going into the endless forest to find rare plants or killing magical beasts for the core meat and blood with other cultivators mostly free ones like himself.

Her mother was an elven slave he had fallen in love with and bought using all his money after having sold off almost all he owned to get the necessary amount.

Fay is a race that was originally a half breed between the fairy and any other race, the children would always be a fay. And it was not until many thousands of years after the first ones were born that they became a race of their own instead of a half-breed. This happened after the top fay cultivators came up with a cultivator path unique to fay blood.

Elves, on the other hand, is an old race even older than humans. About the same age as the angels and demon race. They are a rather peace loving people and have never had many conflicts, which was also originally why they fell to the humans attempt at world conquest.  

Both elves and fay are prized for their beauty and are both regarded as second only to the angel race in beauty.

A dozen years later her father had married her mother. and not long after, she was born. She had gotten the best from both her parents. Her mother’s elven charm and the pointy ears, and her father’s blue hair and eyes.

Growing up, she did not see her father much as he was always working to provide for his family. Her mother had a weak body and could not work, but other than that she was not really sick as such she took great care of Aura.

Aura had as almost all other children begun to cultivate from a young age. And had learned much under her father’s guidance whenever he was at home. it turned out she had much better than average talent in cultivation much to her father's joy, as life could be very dangerous in this world and much more so if one was a top class beauty. so it was relieving to both of her parents that she could become strong enough to protect herself.  

After a dozen hours, Aura opened her eyes with a satisfied smile on her face. Making her beauty truly breathtaking.
