"Young miss, should we stop here?

", an expert of Shen family looked towards Shen Ruyan.

n

"Scatter and scout the place. If there is no problem, we will pitch up our tents here

", Shen Ruyan replied.

nThe Shen family guards who were riding Horned lions spread over and started to search the entire place. Shen Ruyan turned her head and threw a look at Zhan Chen. She was riding a gigantic deer with four antlers. The spirit deer was looking majestic and matched well with the graceful beauty of Shen Ruyan.

nZhan Chen nodded his head towards Shen Ruyan and as if there was an invisible connection between them, both of them understood what the other people wanted to say.

n

"There is no need to look further. We will set our tents here

", Shen Ruyan commanded. The Shen family experts came back and started to work on the tents for a night rest.

nZhan Chen was riding a Horned lion like other Shen family experts. He got off from the back of Horned lion and stretched his body a bit. A full day of riding was s little bit tiring even to him.

nShen clan had dispatched fourteen experts to safely bring back Shen Ruyan from the Western region. There numbers might be small but each of the expert atleast had a Core condensation realm cultivation.

nThere were total fifteen experts who were travelling with group of Zhan Chen and Shen Ruyan now. Eleven were Core Condensation realm experts and three were Martial ascension realm experts. Adding Liu Nanxi who always stayed with Shen Ruyan, the total number of Martial ascension realm experts were four.

nThis was a force which could take on any big force of Western region. So, the young cultivators like Li Yan, Kai Min and Li Shu had no worries as they traveled with Zhan Chen and Shen Ruyan. The person with lowest cultivation base in the group were Su'er and Ling'er. Shen Ruyan had assigned

nfemale experts of her clan to take care of them. Both Ling'er and Su'er were travelling with the female Core Condensation realm experts of Shen clan.

nAfter Shen Ruyan got off from her spirit deer, others also got off from their rides one by one. It took only half an hour of time to pitch the tents for everyone.

n

"How much time untill we enter the Shredded mountain province?

", Zhan Chen asked Li Shu who was standing nearby him.

n

"We have yet to leave our own province, the Clear sky province. It will probably take another day for us to reach the Shredded mountain province

", Li Shu replied.

nThe Northern desert continent was divided into five regions and each region was comprised of three to four provinces. The Red cloud kingdom, the kingdom where the Zhan family located was situated in Clear sky province.

nTo reach the central region, the group of Zhan Chen must cross the Western region and the great Shredded mountain range which was also known as the most dangerous place of Western region.

nShredded mountain province was located at the eastern most part of Western region and named after the Shredded mountain range.

nThe group of Zhan Chen had currently choosen to rest in a valley which lied beneath a small mountain. There was chances of Magical beasts attack but with the presence Shen clan experts, their threat was negligible.

nShen family experts climbed the mountain and returned with some wild rabbits with them. Fire was put up and the rabbit were placed above the fire to roast.

nZhan Chen noticed some curious glances towards him. It was Li Yan who was looking towards him occasionally. Her curiousity was expected as she came to know about the relationship between Zhan Chen and her sister.

n

"Miss Yan, do you like to tell anything?

", Zhan Chen smiled towards Li Yan. Li Yan shook her head and turned her head to look away. Li Shu smiled after seeing the interaction between her sister and Zhan Chen.

nLi Shu followed after Zhan Chen to his tent after eating the roasted rabbit. She didn't have any care about what people would think as she never hesitated to describe Zhan Chen as her man.

nShe may not care but Zhan Chen wouldn't put her in any embarassing situation just because of his desire. He spread his soul consciousness and saw the occasional glances of experts towards his tent. Even the female experts of Shen clan were throwing some weired glances towards Zhan Chen's tent.

n

"Miss Shu, return to your tent first. We can not do anything here. Others were looking towards our tent

", Zhan Chen spoke to Li Shu

n

"Young master, I...

", Li Shu wanted to say something but Zhan Chen interjected her with his own words.

n

"Miss Shu, I know what you want to tell. Thanks for coming to accompany me. Please go over and wait for sometime. You can come to the woods in the midnight. I will be waiting for you there

", Zhan Chen smiled towards Li Shu.

nLi Shu nodded her head shyly and turned around after throwing a look towards Zhan Chen. Her infatuation for Zhan Chen was at an inconceivable level as she craved for Zhan Chen's attention and care. It was quite normal as a maiden would crave for more love after having a taste of that feeling.

n

"Miss Shu, wait for a minute. It will be a loss if you leave like this

", Zhan Chen spoke and pulled Li Shu from behind.

nHe turned around Li Shu's body and cupper her face. Then he planted a passionate kiss on Li Shu's pretty lips. Li Shu also copearated passionately as she licked Zhan Chen's tongue with her own.

n

"Young master Chen, please wait for me. I will definitely come in the midnight

", Li Shu spoke before leaving the tent of Zhan Chen. The middle aged cultivators of Shen family felt disappointed as Li Shu returned as soon as she entered Zhan Chen's room. Some of their imagination had run wild but reality was depressing. They moved their attention from Zhan Chen and focused on different things.

nShen family experts didn't even know when Zhan Chen left his tent. Zhan Chen used his movement technique and disappeared into the woods behind the tents.

nThere were some magical beasts but they couldn't come near Zhan Chen as Zhan Chen used his soul pressure to push them back. Zhan Chen hopped on to a tree and sat on the top of it.

nTime passed like the drifting wind and soon the midnight descended on Northern desert continent. Zhan Chen waited patiently and a little bit of time, he saw Li Shu entering the woods.

nA smile appeared on his face after he saw the two more girls with Li Shu. There was no need to closely look at them. Only two more girls among his women could think of doing such things with him.

nZhan Chen's figure flashed as he appeared Infront of them.

"Su'er, Ling'er it is good to see you both with miss Shu

", Zhan Chen smiled towards the three girls.

n

"Young master

", a happy look appeared on the face of Su'er and Ling'er after thew saw Zhan Chen.

n

"You two girls! Has Ruyan allowed you both to come?

", Zhan Chen asked with a little bit of curiousity in his eyes. Knowing Shen Ruyan, she would never allow to take such unnecessary risks. With her position, it would be bad if others found out that her personal maids were meeting with a man in secret.

n

"Young master, young miss only said us to be careful. She didn't stop us when we leave with sister Shu

", Su'er replied. Zhan Chen nodded his head and released his soul consciousness.

n

"Come with me, there is a good place I have discovered

", Zhan Chen spoke. The three girls nodded their head and followed after Zhan Chen.

nThere was an extended piece of land at the corner of the mountain. A narrow path was connecting it with the mountain.

n

"We can do our things here but before that let me remove an annoying earthworm

", Zhan Chen spoke.

n

"Thud!

",before Su'er, Ling'er and Li Shu could understand anything, a gigantic creature fell to the ground.

n

"Oh my god! what a big snake

", Ling'er cried out and unconsciously clenched her hand on Zhan Chen's clothes. Li Shu was also same as she quickly latched herself onto Zhan Chen. Su'er slightly brace but she also took a step back after seeing the creature infront of her.

n

"No need to panick. It is already dead

", Zhan Chen spoke with an assuring tone on his voice.

n

"Really?

", Ling'er blinked her eyes in disbelief.

n

"Check it if you don't believe

", Zhan Chen smiled towards the frightened Ling'er.

n

"How did it die? From the look of it, it is atleast a peak stage grade three magical beast!

", Li Shu exclaimed.
