Chapter 26 - The Dilemma Of Ruyan
"So, I will take it as yes. Now can you show me your beautiful face?", Zhan Chen asked Ruyan.
Ruyan nodded her head shyly and took off her veil. She had a flawless appearance with curved eyebrows and thick red lips. Zhan Chen became dazed for a moment as he witnessed the beautiful creation Infront of him. "No wonder, you always hide your face. If you let everyone see you, I can't imagine how many will go crazy to get you", Zhan Chen murmured.
He stretched his hand towards the face of Ruyan and caressed it. Her skin was very smooth with a hint of icy feeling in it. Her eyes went towards Ruyan who was looking at him with a bashful manner.
Zhan Chen couldn't take it anymore as he was also new to such feelings. Moreover, he still had reservation about his big sister as he knew it was not time break the final barrier between them. Her sister was the core disciple of a female only sect and they would go crazy if they knew Zhan Qingyue had lose her virginity. Unless Zhan Chen had strength to conquer them, he wouldn't put her sister in danger.
He had no such reservation towards Ruyan. Moreover, he saw emotion in the eyes of Ruyan for him. She had a noble demeanor and flawless appearance. Zhan Chen didn't see any problem in making her his woman.
He picked up Ruyan from the bed and make her sit facing him. He cupped her beautiful face and leaned forward to kiss her beautiful lips.
He gently tasted both of her red lip and felt a smooth watery taste from her lips. He wrapped a hand around her back and with other hand pulled her head closer towards him. This time he show slight agresiveness as he sucked in both of her red lips.
Ruyan also started to cooperate with him as she moved her lips in tandem with him. Zhan Chen tasted her smooth lips continuously and let her go only after kissing her for few long minutes.
"Zhan Chen, will you inform your mother first? I don't want to do it behind her back", Ruyan looked at Zhan Chen.
Zhan Chen nodded his head as caressed her smooth cheeks.
"What do you think? Will she accept me as her daughter in law? I am still eight years older than you", Ruyan asked with a worried face. The think she was more concerned about was the fact that she was already twenty eight years old. Zhan Chen was only sixteen. Before this day, he was a fifteen year old child.
Ruyan felt like she was a bit shameless as she was making love with such a young man but she couldn't deny the desire she felt towards Zhan Chen.
"Don't worry. I am going to talk with mother. You are more beautiful than a sixteen years old girl and I don't think mother would deny herself such a wonderful daughter in law", Zhan Chen said with a comforting tone.
"What about your parents?", Zhan Chen asked. A worried look appeared in the eyes of Ruyan at the mention of her family.
"Zhan Chen, have you heard of Shen clan of central land?", Ruyan looked at Zhan Chen.
Zhan Chen shook his head as he had no idea about the clans residing in central land but he knew that whatever place this land was, the major powers were gathered in central land.
"I have never heard of Shen clan but I have a vague idea about central land", Zhan Chen replied.
"Can you explain the overall situation of this land to me?", Zhan Chen asked Ruyan with slight curiousity.
Ruyan nodded her head. "But first let me change. Can you go out for a bit?", Ruyan asked with a blush.
"Actually there is no need but I will do as you wish", Zhan Chen chuckled and left the room.
Ruyan locked the gate and took out her clothes. She quickly took out her undergarment and a new undergarment appeared in her hand out of thin air. If Zhan Chen was here, he would have immediately point out that she was using a spatial ring.
Ruyan quickly changed her undergarment and put the old one inside her spatial ring. She also took out a set of new cloth and kept the old one inside. She wore the new cloth and after making sure that she was looking aright, she opened up the door.
Zhan Chen came inside after Ruyan opened up the door. He noticed her new dress and his gaze noticed the ring she was wearing. Previously he had ignored it but now after seeing her new cloth, he knew what was the ring she was wearing.
"What tier is your spatial ring?", he asked Ruyan.
"It is a mid spirit grade spatial ring", Ruyan replied.
Zhan Chen nodded his head and asked, "Can you tell me about this land now?"
"Ok, sit down first. I will explain the things I have learned about this continent", Ruyan replied.
Zhan Chen sat down on her mother's bed and waited for Ruyan to speak.
"The continent we are in is known as Northern desert continent to other continents. This continent is bigger than other continents but due to the thin spiritual energy compared to other continents, people from the nearby continent have never taken interest in this continent.
Spiritual energy of heaven and earth is more concentrated in the central part of this continent. So, the land of the central area is highly sought after among powerful clans and sects.
There are many powerful clans and sects out there. Among them nine entities are the most powerful. Always try to avoid any kind of confrontation with them unless you become sufficiently powerful", Ruyan carefully explained.
"I have heard that Xie family is the ruler of this continent. Is there no one out there to challenge them?", Zhan Chen asked Ruyan.
"You have heard it, right. They are indeed the ruler of this continent but they are in power because they have never tried to offend the nine major powers.
Now let me, introduce the nine major powers to you", Ruyan replied.
Zhan Chen nodded his head and Ruyan started to explain.
There are one family, five clans and three sects who reigned over our Northern desert continent.
The only family is Xie family who is also the ruler of this continent.
The five clans are Lu clan,
Huang clan
Li clan
Huo clan and my Shen clan.
The three sects are
Heavenly sword sect
Xuantian sect
Frozen cloud sect
Your sister's sect is a branch of Frozen cloud sect of central land", Ruyan replied.
What about your Shen clan? What will they say if they come to know about our matter?", Zhan Chen asked.
"They have no say in this matter but they will take this opportunity to create problems in our clan. My grandfather is the current patriarch of our Shen clan but some of them are coveting the position of my grandfather.
Our line has no suitable young generation to inherit his position. They have hope for me as I have show talent since my childhood but everything is going wrong since I have failed to reach Core Condensation realm.
They are also coveting my Firecloud treasure pavilion which I have established with my own effort", Ruyan said with fury in her eyes.
