"Young master Chen, you are still so kind. Royal father has wronged your family so much yet you don't seem to have anything against me

", Zi Mingxi spoke. Her words were like the singing of an oriole which soothed the mind and heart of Zhan Chen.

"Princess, you jest. How can I have any resentment towards you no matter what is the reason?

", Zhan Chen smiled towards Zi Mingxi.

Zi Mingxi also smiled slightly but moved her gaze away due to embarassment. She was always such a lovely girl and Zhan Chen didn't find any changes despite the years he had not seen her.

"Then what about the agreement? If you find it disagreeable then you can say so

", Zhan Chen looked towards Zi Mingxi.

"I don't have any problem with it. It is just that it is slightly rushed and I don't know what to do with it

", Zi Mingxi replied with a shy voice. Her cheeks became reddened as she voiced. her opinion to Zhan Chen.

"What about you, young master Chen? Do you like me?

", Zi Mingxi asked while drawing circles with her left toe. She didn't even look at Zhan Chen due to embarassment. But her heart beat became quickened as a feeling of nervousness and anticipation flooded her mind.

Zhan Chen looked at Zi Mingxi who was doing her best to not look at him. Her cheeks were reddened as if she had asked some embarrassing question.

Zhan Chen felt his hear melting after seeing such a lovely appearance of Zi Mingxi.

"Princess, your charm is so great and I still have a heart here. So, how can I said that I am not interested?

", Zhan Chen smiled towards Zi Mingxi.

Zi Mingxi felt relaxed after hearing the words of Zhan Chen but his next words made her feel uncomfortable again.

"But there is something which you don't know about me. I have already accepted some girls as my women. So, I don't know what do you think about it?

", Zhan Chen looked towards Zi Mingxi with a serious look on his face. It was a common truth and Zhan Chen want Zi Mingxi to make her own choice after knowing about such things.

He was fine with either of her decision. Zi Mingxi was someone who Zhan Chen considered as a friend and he wouldn't hide such matters from her which would made her sad in future.

Zi Mingxi became silent for some moments as she didn't know what to say. Some childhood memories crept up to her mind as she threw a look at Zhan Chen. Zhan Chen had a focused look in his eyes as he was waiting for her decision patiently. Zi Mingxi could feel his concern towards her from his eyes.

"Young master Chen, I don't have any opinion about others. It will be good as long as you agree to marry me

", Zi Mingxi spoke as she looked towards Zhan Chen with her limpid eyes.

Zhan Chen looked at the charming face of Zi Lingxi. He didn't give any reply to her but he went forward and before she could react, planted a kiss on her beautiful lips.

Zi Lingxi blushed as she understood what just happened. She threw a look at Zhan Chen who was leaving the guest hall.

"Princess, you can't run away now. You are my, Zhan Chen's woman from now on

", Zhan Chen spoke without turning his back towards Zi Lingxi.

Zi Lingxi felt sweet in her heart as she looked towards Zhan Chen without blinking her pretty eyes. Only a sound of giggling made her came out from her stupor.

"Girl, what is with your look? It seems like you have fallen for him in your first meet

", Zi Nuan asked to her niece.

"Aunt

", Zi Lingxi's cheeks became reddened like an apple after hearing the teasing of her aunt. Zi Nuan chuckled after seeing the embarassed look on her niece's face. A look of reminiscence appeared in her eyes but she managed to supress her emotion after a moment.

"Lingxi, what do that brat say? Is he got any problem with the arrangement?

", Zi Nuan asked. According to her opinion such arrangement was too absurd. She was still angry with her father for such arrangement for Zi Lingxi. But after seeing the appearance of Zi Lingxi, she felt like she was being angry for no reason.

"Aunt, he has not changed at all. He has agreed to marry me. We have a good conversation with each other

", Zi Lingxi spoke in a sweet voice. Her eyes were dreamy as she talked about Zhan Chen. Her expression was like a maiden in love for the first time.

"A good conversation! Just what did that brat do to her?

", Zi Nuan exclaimed in her mind. The aunts of Zhan Chen entered the guest hall and her attention shifted to the Zhan family people.

While talking with Zhan Chen's aunts, Zi Nuan didn't know that someone was observing her every movement from a distance. Who would it be? It could only be Zhan Chen, the user of Celestial Yin Yang technique.

Zhan Chen never felt so attracted to a woman. It was a new experience to him. Zi Nuan's every mover, her words, her walk, her smile, everything felt attractive to him.

"What a woman! It would be a delight to make her mine

", Zhan Chen thought to himself. Zhan Chen never considered doing such things before but his inner desire told him to seduce the woman infront of him no matter what.

"Damn it! I will make her agree no matter what it takes. Once she agrees, I will make her mine

", Zhan Chen thought to himself.

This would be the first serious test of Zhan Chen's womanizing skills. Infront of him stood a core condensation realm beauty who was proud to her bone. Most important thing was she had declared not to marry anyone in her life. To made her fall in love with him, Zhan Chen need some skills to show that he acquired from his experience and the Profound art of dual cultivation.

To Zhan Chen's delight Zi Nuan came towards his living complex after she had finished her conversation with Zhan Chen's aunts. There was a slight curiousity in her eyes as she came to meet Zhan Chen.

Zi Nuan wanted to see just what type of a boy Zhan Chen was. She had heard many things about the capabilities of Zhan family fifth young master. So, she wanted to see for herself just how capable the boy was for whom her father had gambled the life of his most precious grand daughter.

"Princess, no need to knock. Please enter

", the voice of Zhan Chen came when Zi Nuan was just going to knock the door. A look of surprise appeared in the eyes of Zi Nuan as she heard Zhan Chen's words. She pushed the door and entered the room of Zhan Chen.

"Welcome to my humble abode. May I inquire the purpose of princess for visiting me?

", Zhan Chen asked Zi Nuan with a smiling look on his face.

Zi Nuan felt surprised as Zhan Chen greeted her and asked the purpose of her visit. She had never imagined that Zhan Chen had such a bearing despite his age.

She controlled her thoughts and looked towards Zhan Chen. She tried to see through Zhan Chen's cultivation but Zhan Chen was not releasing even a slight bit of his true essence energy to outside. So, it was difficult for anyone to guess his cultivation level.

"Zhan Chen, what is your cultivation level?

", Zi Nuan asked.

"Why don't you guess princess? If you said correctly then I may tell you a secret

", Zhan Chen smiled towards Zi Nuan.

"What secret?

", Zi Nuan felt curious. A frown also appeared on her face as she felt the behaviour of Zhan Chen was slightly improper.

"I will tell you if you can defeat me

", Zhan Chen looked towards Zi Nuan with a provoking look on his face.

"You....!

", Zi Nuan felt incensed after seeing the behaviour of Zhan Chen towards her.

"What? Don't you have any power or you are afraid of being defeated? Looks like royal family has no warrior left. That's why they are gifting away their talented princess

", Zhan Chen mocked Zi Nuyan.

"You dare!

", Zi Nuan became completely enraged this time. Zhan Chen's words heat a soar spot of her.

"What do you want? There is no point in keep angering me like this?

", Zi Nuan looked towards Zhan Chen with an enraged face.

She was just going to thrash him but at the last moment she managed to control herself. Giving her intelligence, it didn't take any time to see through the intention of Zhan Chen.

Zhan Chen had specific purpose in angering her but what made her indignant that Zhan had played her with his palm since the beginning.

"Princess, I am sorry. But there is something I need from you. Why don't we make a gamble. Whoever wins can order anything to his or her opponent

", Zhan Chen spoke.
