Past life sage: This life a dual cultivator

The journey continued after everyone took a little rest. The end of the day approached swiftly as the group of Zhan Chen and Shen Ruyan traveled amongst the dense woods of Cloud forest range.

"There is no need to travel any further today. Let's clear the place and wait untill the morning", the peak level fifth stage expert of Shen clan spoke.

He was travelling in the forefront. So, his words were audible for the experts who were following behind him. One after another stopped in their way after hearing the command of the peak stage expert of their clan.

Zhan Chen came down from his horned lion and looked at the surrounding. Night was descending at a first pace colouring the dense wood in a colour of pitch black.

"It is indeed difficult to move such a large group in the absence of the daylight. Fortunately, there is no powerful looking magical beast in the vicinity", Zhan Chen murmured to himself.

There were huge crystal leaf cypress trees in the vicinity. But with the mutual effort of Shen clan experts, the surrounding woods were cleared in no time.

Zhan Chen also helped a bit as he used his True essence energy to cut down some nearby trees. Night was long and it would be dangerous to stay separated in such a place. So, everyone sat down in groups and looked out for the safety of eachother.

"Young master, are you hurt anywhere?", Li Shu asked as she looked towards Zhan Chen who was sitting with her, Kai Min and Li Yan.

Zhan Chen chuckled after seeing the concerned look of Li Shu. She had already asked this question a few times after the battle with Ironback wolves had ended.

"Miss Shu, thanks for your concern but I am not injured even slightly. It would be a disgrace if I let myself beaten by some stupid wolves. Don't you think so miss Shu?", Zhan Chen looked towards Li Shu with a smile.

Li Shu blushed after seeing the smiling face of Zhan Chen. She shyly took a look at Zhan Chen and then lowered her face to avoid eye contact with Zhan Chen.

Zhan Chen's every action was too deadly for her little heart. So, she lowered her head to avoid the teasing look of Zhan Chen.

Kai Min giggled after seeing Li Shu with a reddened face. Li Yan felt surprised after seeing Kai Min smiling so happily. She had never seen Kai Min like this. As the most renowned genius of Kai family, Kai Min always had a serious look and never ever exposed herself so openly infront of others.

Zhan Chen was also observing Kai Min. Kai Min was looking gorgeous with a smile adding to her beauty. Zhan Chen felt happy for her as he could see that Kai Min was finally opening up, letting go of her burden and worries.

"Miss Min, you are looking more beautiful as you are now. You should smile more hereafter", Zhan Chen spoke to Kai Min. Kai Min blushed slightly and nodded her head after taking a look at Zhan Chen.

Zhan Chen felt a gaze on him and turned to look at the source. It was Shen Ruyan who was looking at him from a distance. She turned her gaze away after noticing Zhan Chen turning his head to look back at her. Zhan Chen smiled and turned to look at Kai Min and Li Shu again.

"Young master Chen, when will you stop addressing us miss?", Kai Min asked. She was always a decisive girl. So, after deciding on her relationship with Zhan Chen, she didn't hesitate to expose her relationship with Zhan Chen.

Li Yan looked at Zhan Chen, Li Shu and Kai Min with a nonchalant look on her face but her mind was thinking otherwise. She was feeling complicated while looking at Zhan Chen.

Initially, she thought Zhan Chen was a useless young master of a small noble family and cursed him many times from behind but after seeing his dashing performance, her opinion about Zhan Chen overturned.

Zhan Chen was younger than her in age. She used to think that her cultivation was superior among the young people present in the group. So, she was feeling proud by herself. But Zhan Chen pulled her pride from root and saw her what a true talent was like. A sixteen year young mane killing grade four magical beasts! Li Yan found it inconceivable. So, after seeing Kai Min and Li Shu laughing so happily with Zhan Chen, she felt uncomfortable in her heart. Even she didn't know, why she was feeling like this way.

Zhan Chen didn't know what Li Yan was feeling and he had no special interest towards her. So, after greeting her formally, he ignored her completely and talked with Li Shu and Kai Min.

"Miss Min, please tell me what should I call you two then?", Zhan Chen looked towards Kai Min. After a single night with her, he found Kai Min more pleasing to his eyes. She had a noble yet fearless demeanor. Zhan Chen grew to like these traits of Kai Min.

"I don't know. But addressing us as miss too formal", Kai Min spoke.

"Then how about little Shu and little Min?", Zhan Chen asked with a serious look on his face. Kai Min felt speechless after hearing the suggestion of Zhan Chen. Her face reddened as she blushed heavily.

"Aunt, where are you going?", Su'er asked the Shen clan female expert who was traveling together with her.

"Little Su'er, rest by yourself for a while. I willl be back after sometime", the Shen clan female expert replied and walked towards the woods behind.

After going some distance, the Shen family female expert changed direction and turned towards another direction.

A silhouette was waiting for her in distance. 

"Sister Rou", the silhouette called out after noticing the figure of Shen clan female expert in a distance.

"Zhen Wang, tone down a bit. There are people around us", the Shen clan female expert spoke.

The name of the female expert was Shen Rou and the name of the person waiting for her was Zhen Wang. Both of them were stage four experts and worked as protectors of Shen clan.

"I am sorry. I am feeling excited after seeing you nod your head", Zhen Wang spoke.

"Why are you aplogizing now? It has been a while and I am not letting you get close to me", Shen Rou spoke as her eyes softened.

"It is not sister Rou's fault. Everyone is staying close to eachother and it is just that sister Rou could not find an opportunity to meet me", Zhen Wang spoke.

"We are in love for so long. Yet you always choose to defend me even after we have gotten old", Shen Rou replied. Intense emotion could be seen in her eyes as she looked towards Zhan Wang.

"Sister Rou, you are getting more beautiful every day. How can you gotten old?", Zhen Wang spoke as he tugged the body of Shen Rou towards him.

Shen Rou didn't resist as Zhen Wang pulled her closer towards him. He cupped the beautiful face of Shen Rouand planted his lips on the red lips of Shen Rou.

"Zhen Wang, we have to finish early. Otherwise, others may doubt us", Shen Rou spoke.

"Sister Rou, we are already at the peak of Core Condensation realm. When can we meet with eachother openly?", Zhen Wang said in an indignant tone in his voice.

*Have some patience. We have waited so long and it will not matter even if we wait few more years", Shen Rou spoke while caressing the face of Zhen Wang with her slender hand.

"Sister Rou, I will wait as much as you want. It does not matter even if I have to wait another ten years", Zhen Wang spoke.

"Hmm, wait untill we reach Martial ascension realm.. Then no one can protest even if we make our relationship public", Shen Rou replied.
