"Princess, who can resist a girl like you? I have fallen for you since the first time we have met

", Zhan Chen replied to Zi Nuan with a smile.

n

"But I am so much old already. Your mother also does not like me

", Zi Nuan spoke.

n

"Your age does not concern me at all. When you reach Martial ascension realm, you can live for two hundred years. So what is if your are older than me by ten years

", Zhan Chen retorted.

n

"What about your mother? She still bears a grudge with me

", Zi Nuan muttered in a worried voice.

nZhan Chen moved his hand and kept it on the soft back of Zi Nuan. He caressed her back gently and looked towards Zi Nuan.

n

"I don't understand. Why do my mother dislike a girl like you

", Zhan Chen looked towards the beauty lying above his chest.

n

"Actually the first person I like is your father

", Zi Nuan spoke with an embarassed voice in her tone. She shifted her eyes to see if there were any changes in Zhan Chen's expression but she could only see a look of pampering in Zhan Chen's eyes.

n

"Continue

", Zhan Chen encouraged Zi Nuan to speak further.

n

"I felt disappointed when I heard the news about your father choosing your mother. I decided not to marry ever and entered seclusion

", Zi Nuan spoke.

n

"Has father expressed any feelings for you?

", Zhan Chen asked Zi Nuan. This question was important because he didn't want any misunderstanding between himself and his father.

n

"He always act polite infront of me. Besides some conversation, we didn't have any connection with each other. So much days has passed and I have forgot my unrequited love for him

", Zi Nuan spoke indifferently. It was slightly awkward but she didn't want to keep Zhan Chen in dark.

n

"Then it is father's loss. He can only accept you as his daughter in law

", Zhan Chen spoke.

n

"As for mother, you don't have to worry. She will be happy to see another daughter in law in her family

", Zhan Chen spoke.

n

"Ok, let go of your concerns. We should worry about the thing raging down below

", Zhan Chen spoke and moved Zi Nuan's hand towards his little brother.

nBefore Zi Nuan could speak anything, her lips were sealed by Zhan Chen's own. Zhan Chen placed her hand on his little brother and made her stoke it gently.

nBoth could see the desire for eachother when their lips parted. Zi Nuan still had some confusion but she still did not resist the advances of Zhan Chen.

n

"Princess, I want to see your body

", Zhan Chen threw a hot gaze at Zi Nuan.

n

"Can you give me some time to think things through. I just need a little time. Moreover, we still are in your Zhan family

", Zi Nuan tried to resist the urge of her body and mind as she looked towards Zhan Chen.

n

"Fine, but you can't take too long. I can't tolerate the agony of your departure for long

", Zhan Chen spoke to Zi Nuan. Zi Nuan smiled after hearing the cringy words of Zhan Chen.

n

"I just need a little time. Goodbye for now

", Zi Nuan spoke and escaped from Zhan Chen's chest. Zhan Chen came out from his room to see Zi Nuan out. Zi Nuan threw a look at Zhan Chen and left the living complex of Zhan Chen with a determined look on her face. Her heart was feeling reluctant but she left decisively.

nShe knew she had to think things through. Once things went to that step, they couldn't move back to start.

nZhan Chen came out to see Zi Nuan and Zi Mingxi out. Zi Mingxi threw some sneaky glances at Zhan Chen as her pretty cheeks reddened. Zhan Chen's aunts smiled as they noticed the look of Zi Mingxi on Zhan Chen.

n

"Goodbye princess. We will meet at the grand sect competition

", Zhan Chen spoke.

n

"Young master Chen, please take care. I will definitely go to the Grand sect competition

", Zi Mingxi replied.

nA guilty look appeared on the face of Zi Nuan as she heard the conversation between her niece and Zhan Chen. She moved her head away and walked along with Zi Mingxi. But a disappointed look appeared on her heart as Zhan Chen didn't look at her.

n

"Goodbye, princess Nuan

", Zhan Chen spoke after talking with Zi Mingxi. The disappointed feeling of Zi Nuan disappeared as she turned to look at Zhan Chen. Zhan Chen had a burning gaze when he looked at Zi Nuan. Zi Nuan blushed and turned her head away. She was quick to mask her expression but she still couldn't avoid the detection of Li Qingzhao.

nTwo Princess bade their farewell to Zhan family and sat on the royal carraige. Sun was setting. So, they decided to left the Zhan family estate.

n

"Little Chen, when are you planning to marry the third princess?

", Jie Ranqing, the eldest aunt of Zhan Chen asked.

nThe second aunt and third aunt of Zhan Chen also looked towards Zhan Chen as they were curious about the matter between Zhan Chen and Zi Lingxi.

n

"There is no hurry. Let her participate in the Grand sect competition first. We shouldn't shatter her dream just because our deal between us two families

", Zhan Chen replied.

n

"She is still young. Let her do as she pleases for sometime

", Li Qingzhao nodded her head.

n

"And here I am thinking about witnessing a royal wedding

", Zhan Chen's third aunt spoke. A disappointed look was visible on her pretty looking face.

nZhan Chen could only helplessly smile after hearing the muttering of his third aunt. Zhan Chen's first aunt and second aunt also felt amused after hearing the words of their third sister.

nZhan Chen's aunts and Li Qingzhao talked with eachother for sometime. Zhan Chen could bonly accompany them helplessly as his hand was held by his mother.

n

"Chen-er, what is the deal with Zi Nuan? Why was she looking at you like this?

", Li Qingzhao asked Zhan Chen after her three sisters bade her farewell.

n

"Mother, do you have any problem with princess Nuan?

", Zhan Chen asked Li Qingzhao with an innocent look on his face.

n

"No, why should I have any problem with her? She is pretty and talented. I am only asking because she was looking at you with a different gaze

", Li Qingzhao spoke. Her tone was slightly flustered as she didn't want to talk about Zi Nuan infront of her son.

n

"Mother is feeling jealous

", Zhan Chen felt amused after seeing the flustered expression of his mother.

n

"Mother, will you accept it if I take princess Nuan as my woman

", Zhan Chen looked towards Li Qingzhao.

n

"What? Zi Nuan?

", Li Qingzhao became stunned for a moment. She looked at Zhan Chen with a speechless look on her face.

n

"Yes mother. I want to take her as my woman

", Zhan Chen spoke.

n

"There is no problem. But is not she too old for you?

", Li Qingzhao looked at his son speechlessly. His son's apetite was rather big as he wanted to take the elder princess as his woman.

n

"Wo cares about age? Once can live for thousand years when they reach the peak in the path of cultivation. There is also that legendary world where one can live for thousand of years after crossing the mortal boundary

", Zhan Chen spoke. He eyes sparkled as he talked about the immortal wotrld of legends.

n

"Is that something even possible? Reaching the peak and living for thousand years?

", Li Qingzhao muttered as she looked towards Zhan Chen with surprise in her face. This was first time she had seen such a desire in his son's eyes. She felt speechless for a while after hearing the ambition of her son. But her heart swelled up with pride as she could feel the raging blood of Zhan Chen.

n

"Chen-er, you have to cultivate properly to reach the aim you are speaking about. You should be dilligent about it

", Li Qingzhao spoke.

n

"Mother, I will

", Zhan Chen spoke. Li Qingzhao nodded her head and went to prepare food for her son.

n

"Young master, an old woman from Firecloud treasure pavilion has come to see you

", a maid came to the living complex of Li Qingzhao and informed Zhan Chen.

n

"Where is she?

", Zhan Chen asked.

n

"She is waiting outside the gate

", the maid replied.

n

"Well, thanks for informing. I am going to visit her straight away. Inform mother if she ask about me

", Zhan Chen spoke and left the living complex of his parents.

nLiu Nanxi was already waiting outside of Zhan family gate when Zhan Chen reached there.

"Brat, I have done as you have requested. Your promise better not be a lie. Otherwise, you know the consequence

", Liu Nanxi spoke.

n

"Senior, please rest assure. How can I lie to an esteemed elder like you?

", Zhan Chen spoke. It was always difficult to pacify such a difficult old woman. So, he could only see her off by talking like this.

n

"Brat, save your flowery words for young miss. You better cultivate seriously. Otherwise, you will feel hopeless when you reach the central land

", Liu Nanxi spoke.
