School Beauty's Personal Crazy Young Master-Chapter 1554 - 1640: Heaven Monarch Troubled by Love
What’s the explanation?
Chen Nan was a bit bewildered. Did Ziyun want him to take responsibility? But he hadn’t done anything at that time...
Just as Chen Nan was grappling with his thoughts, he suddenly felt the pressure lighten on his body, and upon seeing Ziyun’s face stubbornly suppressing a smile, he almost wanted to go up to her, like sorting out the Fire Qilin, and give her a good scolding.
However, a Heavenly Monarch’s behind isn’t that easy to handle; if she truly exploded, he would undoubtedly die in a miserable way.
Chen Nan refrained and rubbed his hand.
"Haha, Chen Nan, I find you quite brave. Almost all men in the entire Magic Realm fear me, yet you aren’t afraid?" Ziyun retracted her presence, once again assuming the appearance of the girl next door, she said with a bright smile.
Chen Nan silently retorted in his mind; the oppressive force of a Heavenly Monarch Fifth Layer expert was terrifying. Claiming fearlessness was utterly impossible; he was merely pondering how to respond.
However, he also realized that Ziyun didn’t intend to seriously trouble him.
Chen Nan had learned from the Ghost Venerable about Ziyun’s rules, and eventually, he would have to give an explanation to her.
The two drank spiritual wine for a while longer—the taste was fine, and it could enhance cultivation. But for him now, the taste was still a bit too bland.
He used a Divine Thought to search within the Storage Ring for a while, eventually finding some Jade Liquid, some over a thousand years old and some over ten thousand years old. Such treasures could only be found in places like the Abyss Prison; otherwise, in the outside world, they would likely have been snatched and consumed long ago.
"Speaking of which, I didn’t bring any gifts this time. Fortunately, I have a few bottles of good wine here to share. Why don’t you try and see how it is?" Chen Nan picked up a wine gourd refined with ten-thousand-year jade, poured out a cup, and handed it to Ziyun.
He then filled another cup for himself, took a small sip, and smacked his lips in appreciation. The taste was exquisite; it came from over a thousand years of fermentation, and in the Mortal World, those addicted to alcohol would probably feel fulfilled for life just from catching a whiff.
Ziyun sniffed it, unlike Chen Nan, she gently took a sip from the Night Light Cup with her tongue tip, feeling somewhat sentimental inside. Chen Nan really had a lot of treasures; this wine contained at least several types of thousand-year spiritual medicine, transformed into wine and fermented over thousands of years—a true rarity among wines. If the Ancestor knew Chen Nan had such good wine, he would probably cry from excitement.
Although Ziyun was a Heavenly Monarch, after a sip, she felt warmth in her belly, and her face seemed a bit flushed. Meanwhile, Chen Nan appeared absolutely fine, seemingly quite satisfied with the taste.
The two continued drinking for a while, and Chen Nan brought out the only portion of ten-thousand-year-old wine he had. This estimated to be crafted by those old fellows from Ancient Times in the Abyss Prison, and Chen Nan had fetched it from a certain treasure trove among the Ten Great Cities.
The fragrance was incredibly intoxicating. After taking a sip, Chen Nan felt a warm current circulating through the Eight Extraordinary Meridians, and he could not help but have some mischievous thoughts looking at Ziyun.
The face of Ziyun Heavenly Monarch was flushed; although she’d drunk before, with her strength as a Heavenly Monarch, her body automatically refined the alcohol’s potency instantly. Yet, this ten-thousand-year Jade Liquid wasn’t so easy to refine.
Initially, she persevered to refine the drink’s effect, but eventually, a trace of tipsiness emerged, surprisingly making her feel she’d never been this relaxed in all her lifetime. So she simply let go and continued drinking, ended up getting drunk like any ordinary person.
The esteemed Heavenly Monarch had been intoxicated by Chen Nan. If this news spread, it might not be believed.
Chen Nan had a peculiar physique yet couldn’t withstand the wine’s strength either. Before passing out himself, he still managed to display gentlemanly conduct from the Mortal World, supporting Ziyun Heavenly Monarch and went directly into a nearby cave abode where they could rest.
During this time, Ancestor Zi Jix was the first to arrive but didn’t even enter, standing outside for a breath and then showed an evil smile on his face.
He observed the remaining Jade Liquid on the stone table with regret and packed it up to slowly enjoy on his Purple Extreme Peak.
Then, Yun Long Heavenly Monarch came out of sheer curiosity, desiring to see what Chen Nan had been up to, since this guy had been unaccounted for a day.
When he arrived, it was early morning, and upon observing with a Divine Thought, he was almost moved to tears.
He had loved Ziyun for nearly a thousand years, yet Chen Nan had stolen the march on him, leaving him inconsolable.
Chen Nan and Ziyun were drunk inside the cave for three days straight; on the fourth morning, Ziyun woke up first, seeing Chen Nan still sleeping soundly, and noticed their intertwined embrace, making her cheeks blush like apples.
Normally assertive and resolute, the Heavenly Monarch now seemed like a delicate woman, feeling a remarkable warmth in being held by Chen Nan like this.
Looking at his sleeping face, she appeared somewhat infatuated.
Noticing this guy sleeping peacefully, Ziyun stealthily gave him a light peck on the cheek.
Then, just as she was about to pull back her head, Chen Nan’s hand which he had previously placed on another side, conveniently embraced her.
Ziyun was startled, instinctively wanting to push Chen Nan away. It wasn’t that she disliked this guy; having been alone for so long, switching roles was challenging.
Her hands had just rested on his chest, realizing Chen Nan’s eyes were still closed, breathing steadily. He was still asleep; it was just an unconscious movement.
"Chen Nan... let me go..."
Ziyun reckoned the two of them had slept for quite some time post-drunkenness, and if the Ancestor and Sect Master knew, she might feel embarrassed.
However, Chen Nan held on tighter, even smacking his lips, like ready to devour someone.
Ziyun had no choice but to remain lying in his embrace, continuing to sleep while gazing at the sunlight streaming through the windows. Such life, so warm, she had never experienced before.
Chen Nan only woke up after half a day. By then, Ziyun was already asleep again.
As he moved slightly, Ziyun opened her eyes momentarily, still pretending to sleep. Their prior encounter at the Ghost Venerable Palace was different; now... it felt somewhat as though she’d thrown herself into his arms, still making her feel bashful.
Chen Nan carefully crawled up, then lingered awhile before venturing outside the cave.
The Illusion Destruction Sect was vast; they drank at a place on a main peak near the Fire Cloud Cave, a location usually reserved for Heavenly Monarchs, elders, and the Sect Master.
These days, since Chen Nan and Ziyun had retreated together, the Sect Master issued a ban, preventing elders from ascending.
Thus, it was only Ziyun and Chen Nan remaining.
The mountain summit was cleaved flat by Immortal Domain Practitioners using divine skills, creating a plaza-like platform of considerable size.
Recent snowfall left the platform covered in a blanket of white, yet the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi was so abundant, the foliage remained lush, unaffected by weather. 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖
Chen Nan deployed a Divine Sense sweep; the foodie Fire Qilin was lazily seated at the Illusion Destruction Sect’s medicine field, detecting Chen Nan’s Divine Sense it immediately soared back to the mountain peak.
