Urban Peerless Expert-Chapter 1941 - 1961: Hmph, Coward!_1

Nalan Wushuang’s answer struck Lin Chen’s heart directly.

You can deceive her, but can you lie to your own heart, can you deceive the Heavenly Dao?

But after answering, which direction would this take?

Lin Chen was silent for a moment. Looking into Nalan Wushuang’s bright and beautiful eyes, he still couldn’t bring himself to lie or to say anything harsh.

"Of course, I like you. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have saved you multiple times, nor would we have spent so much time together in the Central Divine State... It’s just that..."

Nalan Wushuang interrupted Lin Chen with a smile, "You don’t need to say ’it’s just’, I understand. Don’t worry, I just wanted to know your feelings towards me, I didn’t mean to make things hard for you."

Nalan Wushuang glanced around the room with a slight smile, "My door is always open to you. If you wish to come, come. If you wish to stay, stay."

Lin Chen was left speechless.

Nalan Wushuang was born with an Innate Dao Body. She was once the Holy Maiden of the demon race, and now she is a True Inheritance Disciple of the most powerful faction within the demon race, the Heavenly Fox Palace. Her future is limitless and she has many suitors, yet her affections lie with a married man like him. She even went as far as to say that...

And didn’t her words imply that he could stay in her chamber whenever he wished, have her, and she wouldn’t cause any trouble for him or make any demands?

Lin Chen couldn’t do such a thing.

Lin Chen wouldn’t consider himself a virtuous man, but he also didn’t want to tarnish a woman’s innocence when he couldn’t give any commitment or companionship.

Even if the sentiment was mutual, Lin Chen was unwilling to act on it.

It wasn’t that he was being hypocritical, but it was one of the few lines he wouldn’t cross. After all, who wouldn’t want to sleep with such a beautiful woman of such high status?

"Alright!"

Lin Chen agreed without much hesitation, for the more he tried to clarify, the messier it would get.

While he did agree to it, he didn’t intend to act upon it.

The two of them casually talked about other things, from matters of the world to trivial affairs, and continued talking in a relaxed and cheerful atmosphere until nightfall.

As Lin Chen got up to leave, Nalan Wushuang didn’t try to hold him back. She generously escorted him out of the room.

Only after Lin Chen’s figure had completely vanished did Nalan Wushuang look in the direction that he had disappeared for a long while. She then turned around, lightly kicked a small stone on the road, and murmured under her breath, "Coward!"

...

"Why didn’t you stay the night?"

Lin Chen was slightly panicked in his heart, but his expression remained calm, "Why would I stay the night there? We’re just friends, really!"

Purple Cloud Immortal Lord gave Lin Chen a white-eyed look, "Are you trying to fool a ghost? Nalan Wushuang can barely take her eyes off you. A man and a woman alone in a room, both parties have feelings for each other, yet nothing happened. If it weren’t for the fact that you’re my man, I’d even doubt whether you’re capable of it."

Lin Chen scoffed, "Exactly! As your man, am I not capable? Try resisting if you have the courage."

Purple Cloud Immortal Lord, as someone who had experienced it all, naturally wouldn’t be shy. She chuckled, "Really? Even if I beg for mercy, it would only be after a long while, I can always continue the fight, can you keep it up?"

Lin Chen was speechless. What’s the saying? There are only cows that were worked to death, never farmland that was plowed bad?

Cultivators could precisely control their bodies, and they could guess how much pleasure a man would feel.

Keeping up for a short while would be fine. But to keep it up continuously, bear with it continuously, how could he bear it?!

He simply couldn’t afford it, truly, he couldn’t!

All Lin Chen could do was answer seriously, "Yes, I admit that there are feelings between us. But isn’t it great being friends? It’s not like men and women must sleep together to have real feelings. Even if we’re just intimate friends, that’s pretty good too."

Purple Cloud Immortal Lord laughed softly, "Is there pure friendship between men and women?"

Lin Chen responded, "Perhaps it isn’t so chaste, but it doesn’t have to be that dirty either, right?"

Purple Cloud Immortal Lord laughed, "Alright, whatever makes you happy!"

Lin Chen asked curiously, "I thought I was your man? What kind of woman pushes her man towards another woman? Aren’t you jealous?"

Purple Cloud Immortal Lord laughed, "I was originally an assassin, I don’t have any friends. Now that I have you, it wouldn’t hurt to have a few more sisters. I’ve never felt the need to monopolize you, what difference does it make if there’s one more or one less?"

"Besides, as an assassin, to accomplish my mission, there are times when I have to risk my life. I’m willing to even stake my life, would I care about little things like this?"

"The path of immortality is long. You can’t always be by my side and I can’t always be by yours. So, do whatever you like, as long as you’re happy."

Lin Chen was silent for a moment, then said softly, "I was just talking about this with Yue Yue. Once we advance to the Da Luo stage, or when someone advances to the Da Luo stage, and has the ability to stand in the High-ranked Immortal Realm, we’ll all move there. We’ll establish a Cave Mansion or a force, and everyone will gather there, without having to part ways."

"From the Barren Wilderness to the Thunder Immortal Domain, due to our cultivation we often have to part ways. If there’s any danger, we may not even know about it. Even if we want to help, it’s simply beyond our reach. If we live together, this won’t be a problem."

"So, as for the techniques for cultivation and the resources, we have the time. We can slowly gather them and support each other. We don’t have to join different sects to be targeted or manipulated by others. We can just be free cultivators."

The Purple Cloud Immortal Lord had a surprised look on her face, "Is that what you guys have planned?"

Lin Chen nodded, "That’s my idea, and Yue Yue agreed. After all, every couple in love, if they could be together, wouldn’t want to part."

The Purple Cloud Immortal Lord was silent for a bit, "If that’s the case, it wouldn’t be a bad idea."

Lin Chen was surprised when he heard that the Purple Cloud Immortal Lord agreed.

Because of her exceptional strength, the Purple Cloud Immortal Lord held an extraordinary position. Of course, her age also played a part. Even though she was a newcomer, she was able to make Yao Xuanji and Gu Yuexi call her ’elder sister’ with great confidence.

Now, the main ingredients for the Nine-Turn Da Luo Pill were about to be collected. If all went well, the Purple Cloud Immortal Lord would be the first among their group to achieve the rank of Da Luo. If she decided to stay with them, it would naturally increase their strength and provide a greater sense of security.

"Really? Then it’s a deal, right?"

Purple Cloud Immortal Lord nodded, "Having a definite place to settle, who wouldn’t want that? It’s always better than wandering in the world, with no place like home. When you have a home, you can always return there no matter how long you’ve been away. It’s comforting."

Lin Chen laughed, "That’s exactly what I was thinking. Even though we’re together, we can support each other. But we also respect each other’s freedom in cultivation and travel. It’s like... like a loving family."

Purple Cloud Immortal Lord’s lips lifted slightly, and her smile became more flirtatious, "And then you get to be a negligent monarch, and share a bed with everyone?"
