Chapter 397 Alchemy Contest



Like Shui Liying, Huang Mei also suggested to compete with Zhan Chen in concocting the fourth rank pill. According to her, it was already a miracle that Zhan Chen could concoct rank four pills at his age.

Zhan Chen accepted her suggestion readily. After agreeing to concoct the fourth rank pill, the real dilemma infront of them is to gather two sets of grade four spirit herbs.

"Zhan Chen, leave the matter of grade four spirit herbs at my hand. You can go back to junior sister Liying 's side. I will find you after collecting few sets of spirit herbs", Huang Mei spoke. She vanished from her location as soon as she finished her words. Zhan Chen finally knew how much of an alchemy maniac she was. An esteemed emperor like herself was putting forward some serious effort to have an alchemy competetion with a junior.

Hu Tao's face was already rosy by the time Zhan Chen returned to Shui Liying 's side. Shui Liying smiled slightly after seeing Zhan Chen by her side. Her faint smile was like a pearl on the barren sand which lightens up Zhan Chen's mood.

She was an exquisite and out of world beauty. Her demeanor was generally cold but she was starting to show some emotions after he planted the Soul seed technique inside her.

"Zhan Chen, wait a little. My assignment here is almost done as brother Tao is recovering pretty quickly", Shui Liying spoke. Zhan Chen nodded his head and sat down cross legged to cultivate.

He circulated the Celestial yinyang Sutra and cultivated inside the big room where Shui Liying was treating Hu Tao. Hu Tao's rapidly withering soul came to a stalemate after the Five harmony soul resurgence pill was completely dissolved inside his body. The state of withering was completely gone as his soul lit up with five coloured brilliant light.

Mysterious energy from the heaven flew into his body as his soul made a rapid recovery. Five elements together represented the dao of heaven. Five harmony soul resurgence pill utilized this concept and used this pill as a medium to draw heavenly energy to assist the soul.

'Hmm!', Hu Tao's eyelids fluttered after a while. He opened his eyes slowly and looked towards his surroundings. 'Sister Liying!', he was slightly surprised to see the cold beauty infront of him.

"Brother Tao, you have been unconscious for a while. Take a rest properly. I will notify senior brother Deming about your recovery", Shui Liying spoke.

She didn't wait for Hu Tao's response and left with Zhan Chen. Hu Tao was slightly surprised by her abrupt departure but he was not bothered. He knew how cold Shui Liying actually was. So, it was natural for her to leave straightaway after treating him.

"Zhan Chen, wait here for me. I will notify senior brother Deming and return quickly", Shui Liying spoke. She vanished after speaking her words and Zhan Chen waited for her patiently in the wide corridor.

She returned few minutes after she was gone. There was a relaxed expression on her face after the burden on her mind was gone. She looked towards Zhan Chen and emotion flickered in his eyes.

"Can we have some alone time?", she looked towards Zhan Chen.

"Ofcourse", Zhan Chen nodded his head. Shui Liying used her essence energy and helped him flying. Together they came to a secluded location where a pond was located in the middle.

There were flowers everywhere and luxuriant vines covered the ground. Air was fresh and it really freshened up Zhan Chen's mood.

"Zhan Chen, I will ask you only once. So, please listen to my words", Shui Liying spoke all of a sudden. Zhan Chen nodded his head and waited for Shui Liying to begin.

I have always thought I will never like a man in my lifetime. I used to like someone in my younger days but that was only an illusion. I thought he also likes me but that was never the case. I got a huge shock when he chose someone else. I stay disturbed for quite a long time before deciding to focus on my cultivation. Since then, I have been staying away from all kinds of men. I thought my heart is already dead but that is not the case. I have started to miss you since the day we go to the Serene bamboo peak together. I have tried to resist this feeling as it is awkward to think something between us but this feeling is irresistible. I think, it is quite hard to stay without you. So, I decided to see you in person. Now, I want to hear your answer. What do you think about me. If you are willing to take me as your woman, then I am yours. If not, then I wish to not see you in my lifetime", Shui Liying spoke. The Soul seed technique was affecting her greatly but she still maintained an independent mind. She was willing to fall in love once again but if Zhan Chen was hesitant to accept her then she would vanish from his sight completely. Shui Liying felt nervous in her heart as she looked towards Zhan Chen. It had been a while since she felt so nervous in her heart.

"Beauty, I don't know the fool who couldn't see your love but I am different. I am willing to be your man for the eternity if you agree to share your bed with me", Zhan Chen spoke.

"I agree", Shui Liying softly spoke as she looked towards Zhan Chen. Her heart was welling up with emotion as she matched her eyes with Zhan Chen.

Zhan Chen pulled her closer gently. He cupped her face with both of his hands and bent her body slightly to kiss her lips. Her lips were like a work of art. They were full and supple and compltely red in colour. Zhan Chen felt like he was tasting the softest thing in the world when he met Shui Liying 's lips with his own lips.

Shui Liying closed her eyes tightly when Zhan Chen started to nibble on her lips. Her body temprature rose slightly as she experience the first drizzle of love in her lonely life.

Zhan Chen acted like a griddy merchant when he got to taste the lips of Shui Liying. The softness was amazing and he was unwilling to let go of such a heavenly feeling.

He nibbled on her succulent lips and finally invaded the cavity of her mouth. His tongue touched her soft tongue as he exchanged some saliva with it. It was only after ten minutes, he was willing to let go of Shui Liying. Shui Liying opened her eyes slowly as there was a red blush on her lovely face.

"I will call you husband from now on. My mother has never called my father by his name. So, I will follow her example", Shui Liying spoke. Her voice was so soft and tender that Zhan Chen felt his heart throbbing a little. He bent her body once again and nibbled on her lips. It was a heavenly experience for him as he invaded her mouth throughly.
