Chapter 106: Night before departure (1/2)

Liu Nanxi took out an exquisite looking box from her clothes and gave it to Zhan Chen. ”Take it. I have managed to acquire a soul nourishing fruit from the provincial capital”.

Zhan Chen took the wooden box from Liu Nanxi's hand and opened up the cover of the box.

”Hundred blossom fruit!”, Zhan Chen exclaimed after seeing the golden coloured fruit lying inside the exquisite looking box.

Liu Nanxi nodded her head after seeing the proficiency of Zhan Chen in identifying the soul nourishing fruit.

”Thank you aunt Liu. With it, grandmother can be healed completely and break through to Martial ascension realm”, Zhan Chen spoke to Liu Nanxi with a sincere expression on his face.

”Aunt Liu, please state the price you have to pay for acquiring this soul nourishing fruit”, Zhan Chen looked towards Liu Nanxi with a polite look on his face.

”No need to think about it. You just need to remember your promise. Don't disappoint me in future”, Liu Nanxi replied and stepped back. Her figure faded into thin air after a moment.

Zhan could only look helplessly as Liu Nanxi left the Zhan family estate without demanding anything in exchange of the Hundred blossom fruit.

”Forget it, I can help her out later”, Zhan Chen thought to himself. He turned back and moved towards his parents living complex.

Li Qingzhao was still preparing food when Zhan Chen came to his mother's place. He waited patiently and Li Qingzhao came back after preparing the food.

”Chen-er, it is your favourite roasted duck”, Li Qingzhao spoke. Zhan Chen smiled towards his mother and went with her to the dining table.

”Chen-er, have you seen your father?”, Li Qingzhao asked Zhan Chen. Zhan Chen shook his head as Zhan Long was not inside the Zhan family estate at this moment.

”Chen-er, are you really leaving tomorrow?”, Li Qingzhao looked towards Zhan Chen with a reluctant look on her eyes.

”Yes mother, I will leave with Ruyan. You don't have to worry though. I will visit you once I have time”, Zhan Chen replied to his mother. Li Qingzhao nodded her head and accompanied Zhan Chen in his dinner.

Zhan Chen sat with his mother after finishing up his dinner. They talked about different matters as Li Qingzhao tried to spend time with his son as much as she could.

”Greetings madam, greetings young master”, a maid interrupted the conversation of mother and son duo.

”What is the matter?”, Li Qingzhao frowned as she disliked to be disturbed now.

”Madam, sorry for the interruption but it is urgent. The personal maid of the eldest princess has come to visit young master”, the maid replied.

”Zi Nuan's maid!”, Li Qingzhao muttered and threw a look at his son. Zhan Chen smiled at his mother with an slightly embarassed look on his face.

”Tell the maid of the princess to wait a bit. I willl meet her after finishing my conversation with mother”, Zhan Chen spoke to the maid.

Li Qingzhao felt speechless but what could she do. Her son was turning into such a womanizer at such a tender age. She talked with Zhan Chen for another few minutes. Zhan Chen left after bading his mother farewell.

A pretty looking maid was waiting for Zhan Chen in the guest hall. ”Greetings young master Chen”, the pretty looking maid greeted Zhan Chen.

”Hello beauty, how may I address you?”, Zhan Chen smiled at the personal maid of Zi Nuan. The pretty looking maid blushed lightly after hearing the words of Zhan Chen.

”Young master, I am Liu Yu. You can call me by my name”, the pretty looking maid of Zi Nuan replied to Zhan Chen.

”Ok then, beauty Yu. Tell me why have you come to visit me at such a late hour”, Zhan Chen asked Liu Yu with a smile.

”Young master, I have come to deliver a letter. Please read it and write your response”, Liu Yu spoke. She took out a scroll from her clothes and handed it to Zhan Chen.

Zhan Chen chuckled after reading the content of the scroll. ”She is rather cautious but I like her idea”, Zhan Chen thought to himself after taking a look at the content of the scroll. The handwriting on the scroll was elegant and a noble lady's grace was visible in the words of the letter. It was a letter from eldest princess, Zi Nuan to him.

”Young master, do you need a scroll to write?”, Liu Yu asked.

”There is no need. Tell her that her propasal is interesting. I am completely agree with her idea”, Zhan Chen spoke.

”Young master, allow me to leave then. I will relay your words to princess”, Liu Yu spoke. Zhan Chen nodded his head and Liu Yu left the guest hall of Zhan family.

”Let's concoct a pill for grand mother first. Then I can go and see princess Nuan”, Zhan Chen thought to himself.
