Chapter 442 An enticing invitation
"Princess, my days are good in the Xuantian sect but today is especially wonderful", Zhan Chen replied. The faint smile on his face made Xie Lanying slightly dazed.
"How so?", she asked involuntarily. She didn't know why but she felt an urge to continue her conversation with Zhan Chen as much as possible.
"Because today I get to see second princess. Getting to speak with you alone, the day can't be more wonderful", Zhan Chen spoke.
He was aware that the Soul seed technique was already working on her. So, he wanted to sweetmouth her and made her accept him as her man as soon as possible.
He rarely felt such intense desire to get a woman. Earlier, he had felt such an intense desire towards Zi Nuan when he met her for first time. His cultivation technique reacted to her beauty bone and he felt a burning desire to make her as his woman.
Now, he was feeling such a desire for Xie Lanying. She had already caught his attention when he met her in the Grand sect competition but the situation was not favourable at that moment. Moreover, they spoke only few word in their first meeting. So, his desire was not that intense like what he was feeling right now. He felt more dermined after seeing the effect of the Soul seed technique on her.
Xie Lanying's cheeks reddened slightly after she heard Zhan Chen's words. Generally, she would feel disdain towards such flowery words. But she felt quite happy in her heart after hearing Zhan Chen's honeyed words.
"It is indeed nice to see little brother again. I have been hearing about little brother's exploits in the Yellow stone city. If it is not too much, I would like to hear from you about your exploits", Xie Lanying spoke. She inwardly praised herself after thinking about such a brilliant idea to keep Zhan Chen engaged.
"Princess, what I have done in the Yellow stone city is not that exaggerated. But I would still like to describe them for you", Zhan Chen spoke.
"I am listening", Xie Lanying nodded her head. Zhan Chen spoke about his experiences in brief but Xie Lanying got absent minded in midway. She felt lost after observing Zhan Chen's carved face from such a close distance.
"Princess, are you listening?", Zhan Chen decided to tease her.
"Ye....of course", she replied quickly. Her cheeks reddened completely as she did her best to appear normal infront of Zhan Chen.
Zhan Chen spoke few more sentences and finished describing his experiences in the Yellow stone city. This time, Xie Lanying tried to control her emotions and heard every single words of Zhan Chen. Zhan Chen was speaking in plain words but she could still imagine how difficult it must have been for him to escape unscathed from the Yellow stone city. A hint of worry rose in her heart after she heard Zhan Chen's words. Even she felt surprised because it was absurd for her to worry about Zhan Chen who was still like a stranger to her.
'When did he became so important to me?', she wondered in her mind. She looked at the elegant young man infront of her and a hint of conviction appeared in her heart.
'I have already tried to not think about him in the past few days but I remain unsuccessful. In such a case, I only have one option. I can only make him mine. So that, I don't have to go through such tumultuous emotions', Xie Lanying thought to herself. A determined expression appeared on her face as she looked towards Zhan Chen.
Zhan Chen couldn't see through her facial expression as she was wearing a veil to cover her face. But he could still tell that she waspondering about something.
"What is this woman thinking?", he thought to himself. 'Unfortunately, I can't use my heart seeking technique on her as she was wearing a very powerful soul treasure', he thought further.
"Little brother, why don't you come with me? You can visit the headquarter of the Sky dragon alliance and the various missions assigned to your Xuantian sect", Xie Lanying spoke.
"Your sect master has registered you as a group captain. You can see for yourself what mission best suits you. If the missions assigned to your Xuantian sect is not to your liking, you can tell me. I will pull some strings and assign a mission that suit your need", about the intention of Xie Lanying. But now, he felt delighted. He knew why she was willing to give him such preferential treatment.
she further added.
If it was any normal conversation, Zhan Chen would have worried about the intention of Xie Lanying. But now, he felt delighted. He knew why she was willing to give him such preferential treatment.
"Princess, thank you very much. I don't know how to repay you for giving me such preferential treatment. I can only say, I am honoured", Zhan Chen spoke.
"No need to worry about repaying me. It is only a minor matter", Xie Lanying spoke with a dismissive tone. Inwardly, she felt very satisfied that Zhan Chen took his offer.
"Princess, please give me some time. I need to inform others about travelling to the headquarter of the Sky dragon alliance", Zhan Chen spoke.
"I am waiting", Xie Lanying replied.
A thoughtful expression appeared on her face after Zhan Chen left. 'I can't be more sure. Just his presence alone able to sooth my mind. There is also that strange feeling that I should hold him closer. I can't deny my feelings anymore. Who would have thought that after rejecting every proposal around me, I Xie Lanying, will be interested in a young man of eighteen years. It is shameful but I have to accept it. As long as I can keep him closer to me, my mind will be in piece', Xie Lanying thought to herself.
"You are travelling with second princess?", Shui Liying asked after hearing Zhan Chen's words. Zhan Chen could feel that she was somewhat agitated after hearing the news.
"Husband, how can you be so careless? Her charming technique is topnotch in the continent. She is a good schemer as well. No one knows, how many cultivators has fallen victim to her charm and schemes. I only know this much. It is dangerous to get associated with her. We should not make her our enemy neither we should consider her as our friend", Shui Liying sent a mental communication to Zhan Chen. Sect master, Deng Yue was standing beside her. So, she resorted to mental communication to talk with Zhan Chen.
Zhan Chen could see that Shui Liying was genuinely worried for him. He felt warm in his heart. In this life, he had not made many friends but he managed to find many amazing women for himself. Few of them were more than friends, with whom he could share everything in his life.
"Liying, beleive in me. I am not going to be bewitched by her. Rather it will be me from whom she can't escape. Think about it. How much she can help us if I get her as my woman", Zhan Chen spoke.
"Husband, are you serious? It is one of the most beloved daughter of the Xie emperor we are talking about. If anything goes wrong, we may have to pay a great price to handle the situation", Shui Liying sent a mental communication with disbelief in her eyes. Deng Yue by her side could see that she was talking with Zhan Chen through mental communication. She felt curious but she didn't disturb either Zhan Chen or Shui Liying.
"Liying, don't you have trust in your man? I will not take a risk if it is not worth it. Moreover, I already have a advantage. Sooner rather than later I will make her your junior sister", Zhan Chen replied. His eyes shown brilliantly as he looked towards Shui Liying.
Shui Liying blushed after seeing him like this. "Okay, you can go now. It is impolite make princess wait", she replied. This time she was not hiding her voice. So, Deng The could hear her words.
"Elder sister, senior, I am taking my leave. We can talk about sect matters after I return", Zhan Chen spoke. He bowed slightly towards Deng Yue before leaving. He didn't bow towards Shui Liying this time. His disregard towards Shui Liying couldn't escape Deng Yue's eyes.
She looked towards Shui Liying to see her reaction but she could only discover a soft look on her face as she watched the leaving figure of Zhan Chen. She observed Shui Liying for a while as a curious expression appeared on her face. 'What is his relationship with martial aunt?', Deng Yue thought to herself. She didn't know that the devil had already laid his traps to catch her heart. The more curious she became, the deeper she woulf fall in this quagmire. There was no escape when it came to matter of heart.
