"Girls, this is my humble abode. You three can visit me whenever you want from now on", Zhan Chen spoke after reaching infront of the mountain alloted to him.
"The essence energy in the surrounding is somewhat lacking compared to our Martial peak. But overall, it is a good place to enter seclusion", Ling Hui murmured after inhaling a mouthful of essence energy into her body. Yin Ran and Xue Yi were also of same opinion as they observed the serene atmosphere with curiousity in their eyes.
Zhan Chen invited all the three girls to visit his cave dwelling. All three girls agreed immediately as all of them wanted to get closer with Zhan Chen.
They saw a young man standing infront of the entrance to Zhan Chen's cave dwelling. All the three girls immediately recognised the young man as he was a talented cultivator from the sword peak. "Senior brother Xu Zhen! What is he doing infront of your cave?", Yin Ran looked towards Zhan Chen with curiousity on her face.
"I have asked senior brother Zhen to do a favour to me. Now that I am here, he will return to the sword peak", Zhan Chen spoke. He greeted Xu Zhen after getting closer to the entrance. Yin Ran, Hui Ling and Xue Yi also greeted the young man who was holding a sword in his hand.
"Senior brother, you can go back now. I will surely repay you for your help today", Zhan Chen spoke. He released Xu Zhen from the slave seal but still put a restriction on his soul. Xu Zhen gave Zhan Chen a deep look before walking away calmly.
The cave complex was looking empty despite the presence of several occupants in various rooms. Yin Ran, Hui Ling and Xue Yi felt amazed after seeing how spacious the cave actually was.
"Tell me more about youself. I currently have some free time at my hand. So, we can get to know eachother better", Zhan Chen spoke.
"Your family wants to use you as a marriage chip? They are still trying to do it even after being aware that you are already an inner court disciple of the Xuantian sect?", Zhan Chen looked towards Xue Yi. It was Yin Ran who told the secret of Xue Yi on her behalf.
"Senior brother, that is the reason for which she is hesitating more. She need to keep her innocence intact if she has to marry a guy from an influential family", Hui Ling spoke.
Xue Yi blushed after hearing the words of her two sisters. Both of them were already crushing boundaries while talking with Zhan Chen.
"Well, I understsnd that. The primordial yin essence of a female cultivator is quite beneficial for her male counterpart. But I failed to understand one thing. What is the need for your family to get you married like this?", Zhan Chen looked towards Xue Yi.
"Senior brother, my family is being forced to do this. We need to give way to Ying family because they have quite a good relationship with the imperial family", Xue Yi spoke. She had a helpless look on her face as she described her plight infront of Zhan Chen.
"Imperial family! They can't stay on their pedestral for long. If your family want protection, then you can use the name of my Zhan clan as your backer", Zhan Chen spoke.
"What? My family can use the name of Zhan clan?", Xue Yi looked towards Zhan Chen with an incredulous expression. Even Hui Ling and Yin Ran looked towards Zhan Chen with startled expression on their faces.
All of them heard about the past glory of the ancient Zhan clan. There was a rumour in the central land that they were emerging from the shadow. Zhan Chen's performance in the grand sect competition gave more wind to that rumour and now almost all the influencial powers had already leaned about the rise of Zhan clan.
In such a condition, it was a huge thing for Xue Yi to receive Zhan Chen's offer. No ordinary family in the central land would reject such an olive branch from one of the past hegemons.
"Why are you girls looking at me like this? If you are agreeing to become a cultivation partner of mine, then our families are already connected. You can send your elders to talk with me and we can find a solution for your current problems", Zhan Chen spoke.
"Senior brother, thank you. Ying family will back out if they find involvement of any peak tribulation realm expert with our family. Your backing is already so huge. So, your reputation is enough to drive away those disgusting fellows from the Ying clan", Xue Yi spoke.
"You are allowed to use my name if you find any trouble in the future. Now, what I want to here is a definite answer from you. Whether you want to dual cultivate with me or not? No matter what is your answer, you can seek help from me in the future", Zhan Chen spoke.
"Senior brother, if the problem in my family can be solved, then I ...", Xue Yi couldn't tell her last words as her cheeks reddened completely. She was not straightforward like Yin Ran and Hui Ling who recognised their own needs and accepted the offers of Zhan Chen readily.
Zhan Chen understood what she wanted to say. So, he didn't ask her any further questions. Dealing with a shy girl was not a new thing for him. So, he knew what to do at such a moment.
"Xue Yi, come forward", Zhan Chen looked towards the shy girl who was avoiding his gaze. Xue Yi's cheeks reddened further after she heard Zhan Chen's words. Her heart started to beat faster as she walked towards Zhan Chen.
Yin Ran and Hui Ling were looking at Xue Yi with anticipation in their eyes as they wanted to see what Zhan Chen was going to do with her. Both of their hearts were skipping as they saw Xue Yi getting close to Zhan Chen.
Zhan Chen took a step forward and pulled Xue Yi towards him. He cupped her face gently and looked at her eyes. He gradually lowered his head and pressed his lips against the lips of Xue Yi.
Zhan Chen could feel a soft sensation as he nibbled her lips gently. Xue Yi's body became stiff for a moment before she could cooperate with him clumsily.
Zhan Chen didn't let go of her lips as he slowly increased momentum. Xue Yi had no option other than cooperating with Zhan Chen. Zhan Chen didn't press for longer as it was her first time. He finally let her go after few moments of kissing.
Xue Yi gasped for breath after Zhan Chen let her go. She looked at Zhan Chen and a big blush appeared on her face.
"You two seems to enjoy it so much. Especially Hui Ling, I have never thought that watching a kiss will excite you so much", Zhan Chen looked towards Yin Ran and Hui Ling. Xue Yi wanted to find a hole to hide after seeing the expression on both of her sister's faces.
???????????????? ???????????????????????????? ???????????????????????? ???????????????????? ???????? ????????????????????-????????????.????????????
Both of them were almost drooling as they looked towards Zhan Chen. Both had no shyness, only anticipation as they saw Zhan Chen walking towards them.
"You girls are really to my liking. What is there to hide if you like me so much", Zhan Chen spoke with a smile and pulled both of them into his embrace.
