BXBX NOVEL Chapter 107 - Princess In The Moon Light
"Young master, have you finished concocting the pill?", Little Tao asked.
"Yes, it is done. All I need now is to deliver it to grandmother and senior Mumu", Zhan Chen spoke.
"Young master, you are amazing. You can concoct pills despite being only sixteen years", little Tao spoke. Her eyes were shining as she looked at Zhan Chen. Zhan Chen felt amused by the adoring look on her face.
"Little Tao, come with me. We are visiting grandmother", Zhan Chen spoke. Little Tao nodded her head and followed Zhan Chen to Si Yue\'s place where she was living in seclusion since the time she had fallen ill.
There was no guards placed in the vicinity of Si Yue\'s place. She preferred peace and tranquility over crowded place. There was also no security concern as granny Mumu was always there to look out for her.
Si Yue was sitting in her courtyard when Zhan Chen went to her place. After so much days of sleeping, she didn\'t want to go to bed again. She was leaning against a tree and looking towards the distant forest range.
"Grandmother", Zhan Chen called out after reaching near the tree on which Si Yue was leaning. Si Yue turned her head after hearing Zhan Chen\'s words. A happy expression appeareared on her serene face after noticing Zhan Chen.
"Greetings elder madam", little Tao greeted Si Yue nervously. Si Yue smiled gently towards little Tao and looked towards Zhan Chen.
"Little Chen, what is the matter?", she asked Zhan Chen.
"Grandmother, are you well? Is there any problem with your body now?", Zhan Chen asked.
"What could happen to me again? I am completely fine after receiving your treatment", Si Yue replied with a smile on her face. Her heart warmed up after hearing the concerned words of her grandson.
"That is good to hear. All you need is to consume this pill and your soul will be fine again", Zhan Chen spoke and took out the pill bottle where he stored the two soul nourishing pills.
"How pretty!", little Tao murmured as she looked towards the two transparent looking pills with golden hue on their surface.
Si Yue threw a curious look at the the pill bottle that Zhan Chen was holding. She stretched her hand and took the pill bottle from Zhan Chen.
"Little Chen, what pill it is?", Si Yue looked towards Zhan Chen.
"Grandmother, it is Hundred Blossom pill made of Hundred Blossom fruit", Zhan Chen replied.
"Young miss, it is a grade five pill", old woman Mumu who was standing in a distance appeared near Si Yue.
"Greetings senior Mumu", Zhan Chen greeted old woman Mumu. Little Tao also greeted the old woman who was considered most powerful before the Zhan family ancestor appeared.
"Little Chen, where did you get a grade five pill?", Si Yue asked. A grade five pill was a luxury for many cultivators as grade five ingredients were very less in the entire Western region of Northern desert continent.
Granny Mumu also looked towards Zhan Chen as she was also amazed by the appearance of two grade five pills in such a downtrodden location. Moreover, the grade five pills were no ordinary pills as they were made up of soul nourishing Hundred Blossom fruit.
"Grandmother, you don\'t have to worry about it. A senior help me to find the Hundred Blossom fruit and I have concoted the Hundred blossom pills out of it", Zhan Chen replied with a smile.
"A sixteen year old boy with the capacity to concoct grade five pill! An alchemy king!", Si Yue muttered as she looked towards Zhan Chen with amazement in her eyes.
"Little Chen, I don\'t know what to say to you anymore. Only if your grandfather is here to see this", Si Yue spoke as she imagined what would be the reaction of her husband after seeing the acheivement of their granddon.
Zhan Chen bade farewell to old woman Mumu and his grandmother after delivering the pill. He sent little Tao to her living room and walked out of Zhan family estate. His destination was the Windy mountain where no one was allowed other than the royal family members.
Windy mountain was located at the south of the Red cloud city at the bottom of which the royal palace was built. Windy mountain also had also another nickname, the royal mountain which was exclusive to only the royal family members. Royal family used Windy mountain as their practice ground and the beasts in it as their hunting targets.
Zhan Chen didn\'t know what Zi Nuan was thinking to call him to such a location but he didn\'t care anymore. With his True essence realm cultivation, he could use soul attack on the Core Condensation realm experts. Only Martial ascension realm experts were threat to Zhan Chen but he had ways to deal with such experts.
Zhan Chen picked up a horse from his Zhan family estate and left for the Windy mountain. The streets of Red cloud city were silent but they were lit up by the light coming from fire torches.
Zhan Chen passed through the Red cloud city and rode towards the direction where the royal palace was located. There were soldiers posted around the royal palace. Zhan Chen got off from his horse and used his movement technique to get past the royal family soldiers.
Zhan Chen used his soul consciousness to check out his surrounding. So, he easily avoided the royal soldiers and moved past the royal palace. There was a small mountain behind royal palace. Zhan Chen\'s destination was the same mountain that located behind the royal palace.
The magical beasts of Windy mountain were no threat to Zhan Chen. He easily moved past through the wooods and climbed the Windy mountain.
Zhan Chen spread his soul consciousness and noticed a figure standing on a corner of the mountain. She was looking at the moon while exposing her pretty back to Zhan Chen.
Zhan Chen did not make any sound as he appeared near Zi Nuan. He observed her pretty figure without alerting Zi Nuan. It was a full moon day and the round moon was glowing genty.
Zi Nuan was looking bewitching while bathing in the gentle rays of moonlight. Zhan Chen stretched out his hand and held the slim waist of Zi Nuan.
Zi Nuan didn\'t look back but placed her hand on Zhan Chen\'s hand.
"If you didn\'t appear today, then we may not have meet again in this life. I would prefer to live with the memory of yours but wouldn\'t appear infront of you if you couldn\'t make it here today", Zi Nuan spoke in a light tone.
Zhan Chen knew she was serious as he could see the resolve of Zi Nuan in her eyes. Zi Nuan was not an ordinary girl who would do anything just because Zhan Chen managed to find a place in her heart. She had her own pride. She gave a chance to Zhan Chen and waited for Zhan Chen in Windy mountain. She knew there would be obstacles but she wanted Zhan Chen to cross the obstacles to reach her.
"It is impossible to leave you alone. I would never let a girl wait for me in vein", Zhan Chen spoke.
Zi Nuan escaped from Zhan Chen\'s hands and matched her eyes with Zhan Chen\'s.
"Zhan Chen, I have decided. You wanted me to be your woman, right?", Zi Nuan looked towards Zhan Chen.
Zhan Chen nodded his head as he matched his gaze with the charming eyes of Zi Nuan.
"Then, I, Zi Nuan accept you as my man. I have lost the gamble but that is not the reason, I have choosen you. You played your tricks but you have given effort to get me. After so many years, I have never thought I will love anyone again", Zi Nuan spoke.
Zhan Chen didn\'t disturb her as he let her speak out the feeling welling up inside her heart.
"Zhan Chen, thank you. Thank you for giving such a pleasant feeling to my heart", Zi Nuan spoke and looked towards Zhan Chen.
Both could see eachother\'s emotion through their eyes. Zhan Chen stretched his hand and pulled Zi Nuan into his embrace. The desire of possession inside him slowly faded away as he fallen in love with the girl in the moonlight.
