It was already early morning when Zhan Chen woke up from his cultivation. His gaze fell upon Shen Ruyan who was lazily curled up on her bed. There was a faint smile plastered on her beautiful face.

Zhan Chen’s mood uplifted after he saw the expression on the face of Shen Ruyan. He walked near her and planted a kiss on her forehead. 

“Ruyan, wake up. You still have to deliver the Essence condensation pill”, Zhan Chen shook her body to wake up her.

“Zhan Chen”, Shen Ruyan opened her sleepy eyes and looked around. Her laziness disappeared after she realized that it was already morning.

“Zhan Chen, why don’t you wake me up early?”, she threw a blaming look at Zhan Chen.

“Relax, it is only early morning. You still have plenty of time left to visit that weaponsmith”, Zhan Chen chuckled after seeing the anxious looking Shen Ruyan.

“Ok, I am going for a bath then. I have to make this deal personally. That way we can bargain for maximum benefit”, Shen Ruyan spoke.

“You can go only after giving me a kiss”, Zhan Chen spoke with a serious looking face. Shen Ruyan’s face reddened immediately after she heard Zhan Chen’s word.

“Greedy”, she muttered lightly. Zhan Chen firmly stared at her to make his intention clear. If not for her work, he would have taken her for another round. So, it would be unacceptable if she escaped without doing anything.

Shen Ruyan blushed slightly but still came foward and gave him a light peck on his left cheek. Then she tried to move away. Zhan Chen caught her retreating figure in time. He cupped her beautiful face with both of his hands and planted an agressive kiss on her lips. 

He let go of her mouth only after kissing her for few long minutes. Shen Ruyan was already gasping for breath when they separated their mouth. She blushed slightly as her gaze involuntarily fell upon Zhan Chen’s lower part.

“Keep it in check until the night”, she spoke while fleeing her room. A thought appeared in her mind as she left her room. “How can it be so strong in the morning?”, Shen Ruyan blushed as she recalled some pleasant memory of past few days.

Zhan Chen’s little brother protested furiously but Zhan Chen had no way to satisfy it. He sat down on her bed and started to think about a problem which was bothering him in these past few days.

Like other cultivation techniques, Celestial yinyang sutra had also its own uniqueness. It was divided according to one’s mastery over the technique. The most worriedome part was the initial progress could only be achieved through union between Yin and Yang, there was no another shortcut for it.

The Celestial Yin Yang sutra was divided into nine stages and as of now Zhan Chen was only at the initial level. The maximum stage one could attain with a mortal cultivation was fifth stage. The few stages were,

Rudimentary stage

Initial success stage

Greater success stage

Perfection stage

Men and heaven stage

Between Men and heaven stage and its next stage lied a great boundary which could only be broken by shedding the mortal body and attaining that legendary realm. “Forget about it. That legendary realm is a thing many were dreaming for past thousand years but had not attained it despite all their efforts”, Zhan Chen thought to himself.

“As of now, I am only at Rudimentary stage. To reach the Initial success stage, I don’t know with how many women I have to cultivate. The troubling part is the Yang essence in my body is affecting my desire. One can only control it by having intercourse with the opposite gender. I can control my desire after I reach the third stage but as of now I have no solution”, Zhan Chen thought to himself.

The more he dual cultivate, the fiercer his desire was growing as the Yang essence in his body was increasing. The violent nature of yang energy always keeping his little brother upright which Zhan Chen had to control with his sheer will power.

“I need to look for Su’er and Ling’er. Later I have to think of a way to get other women”, Zhan Chen thought to himself. He was just going to open the door, when a knocking sound came from the door.

“Young master, may I enter?”, came the sweet voice of Ling’er.

“Enter”, Zhan Chen replied.

“Young master, a guard of your Zhan family has come to look for you”, Ling’er spoke.

“Ok then, I am going to see him but before that…”, Zhan Chen replied and strode towards Ling’er. He lifted up her chin and connected their lips for a kiss.

His tongue invaded her mouth and entangled with her sweet tasting tongue. His hands didn’t remain idle as used them to grab her perky b.u.t.t.o.c.k.s.

Ling’er’s face was flushed when Zhan Chen released her mouth. 

“Mmmm~”, Ling’er moaned lightly as Zhan Chen kept playing with her fleshy b.u.t.t.o.c.k.s.

“Young master, you should go to see the Zhan family guard. We can do it later after you finish your other work”, Ling’er spoke as she tried to separate her body from Zhan Chen’s grab.

“Auch”, Ling’er cried out as Zhan Chen pinched her pretty b.u.t.t.o.c.k before letting her go. An amused smile appeared on the face of Zhan Chen as he left Shen Ruyan’s room with good spirit.

Zhan Chen descended the stairs and came to the gate of the Firecloud treasure pavilion.

“What is the matter?”, Zhan Chen asked after seeing the guard.

“Young master, fourth young miss is leaving today. She send me to fetch you from the Firecloud treasure pavilion”, the guard answered.

“What is the hurry?”, Zhan Chen asked with a frown. 

“The senior sister of her sect has come to fetch her back. Young miss is currently being anxious to see you before leaving”, the guard replied. There was a look of respect in his eyes when he looked at Zhan Chen. Strength was resected all over in the cultivation world. So, it was not a surprise that the guard was seeing him with a hint of respect in his eyes. 

“Ok, give me a second. I am going to inform them before leaving”, Zhan Chen replied. Ling’er is watching him from a nearby location. Zhan Chen informed her that he was leaving and left with the Zhan family guard.

Their horses galloped through the road of the city as Zhan Chen and the Zhan family guard approached the entrance of the city. Their horses crossed the city wall and arrived at the outskirt of Redcloud city.

Zhan family estate was built up on a small hill which was located near the outskirt of Redcloud city. Zhan Chen left behind the horse at the entrance of Zhan family estate as Zhan family rule didn’t allow anyone to bring their domestic animal inside the estate.

Guards bowed whenever they saw Zhan Chen passing infront him. Zhan Chen nodded at them and went towards the guest hall of Zhan family.

He saw his sister, eldest aunt and second aunt seated around an unknown beauty. The beauty had an warm expression on her face as she was talking with his eldest aunt and second aunt.

All of them lifted their heads when they heard the footsteps of Zhan Chen. “Little Chen, you are here”, Zhan Qingyue called out happily. A smile appeared on the face of his eldest aunt and second aunt when they saw the approaching figure of Zhan Chen.

“This is your brother?”, the unknown beauty inquired as she scanned Zhan Chen from head to toe.

“Yes, he is my little brother”, Zhan Qingyue replied with a smile.

“Greetings aunt, greetings big sis, greetings elder sister”, Zhan Chen greeted everyone present in one breath. He included the unknown beauty in his greetings.

“Ah! You are calling me elder sister”, the unknown beauty looked at Zhan Chen with a smile. Zhan Chen nodded his head with a smile.

“What a fine looking young man. I may have fancied you if we are of same age”, the unknown beauty spoke in a light voice. Zhan Chen chuckled but didn’t say anything.

“Little Chen. Don’t mind senior sister. She loves to tease everyone”, Zhan Qingyue spoke with a smile.

“Big sis, why are you leaving so early?”, Zhan Chen asked.

“Little Chen. Let’s go towards third aunt’s place. I need to see her before leaving”, Zhan Qingyue spoke as she left her seat and pulled Zhan Chen out of the guest hall.

“This girl! She is known as a fiery girl in our sect and loves to fight anytime it is possible. But here she is laughing around and chatting happily with her little brother. I have never seen her smiling so happily in our sect”, the unknown beauty spoke with a smile. She sipped in the tea slightly as she looked at the leaving Zhan Qingyue and Zhan Chen.

“She is attached to little Chen since they were child”, the eldest aunt of Zhan Chen replied. The second aunt of Zhan Chen also nodded her head but a hard to see expression appeared in her eyes.. Her unusual expression vanished as soon as it appeared.
