Chapter 250 - Another One Year Plan (1/2)

Chen Wentian looked sheepish and slightly embarrassed. He had been so eager to push Jasmine down that he had forgotten about her mother's spiritual ghost completely. Jasmine, on the other hand, did not seem to mind as much.

”Go away, mother.” She said sleepily.

”Aiya, what a good daughter… You get yourself a man and you don't want your mother anymore!”

Jasmine frowned, ”What did you want me to do? You're attached to the Tear of Changxi. I can't simply throw you away. I didn't think you were such a pervert. I didn't think you'd be watching.”

”Hmph. At least he is was pretty good. I had to make sure your man was not useless in that regard…” Zhiyue Lingdan said.

Chen Wentian looked back and forth between the two could find anything to say. Divine beasts were certainly peculiar. Their behavior was different from humans. They lacked a certain sense of modesty, or perhaps it was only because he held a different status now.

In beast terms, a mate was the equivalent of marriage for humans. Jasmine readily called him hubby for this reason. He wondered how she would feel about a human marriage. Yet, he would still not be able to make it official with her in near future. If he married anyone in a formal ceremony, the Immortal Association would surely be able to find out. He could not let anyone find out about Jasmine, not yet.

Jasmine had another breakthrough during the night that had been ignored. Her Legacy of Moonlight had improved to the second stage out of nine. Her Lunar Blessing had improved and with that, there were other skills she would be able to learn.

The mother and daughter pair discussed among themselves about the upcoming year and how to train to reach the Spirit King Realm in such a short time. Since they were determined to go down this path, Chen Wentian would not slack off either. He would try his best to keep up. He didn't want to be left behind. Since he was her mate, he had to match her in strength. He still wanted to be the one on top, at least most of the time…

The night of the full moon, a thrilling and unforgettable night, finally came to an end.

The sect stirred awake to the new day. Servants emerged to do their chores. The disciples also started to perform their morning exercises. Chen Wentian was there to guide them and so was Jasmine.

She tried to act casual and avoided his eyes, pretending as if nothing interesting happened between them last night. He played along and also ignored her. This made her pout and when he wasn't paying attention, she would sneak more than a few glances in his direction.

The others probably noticed something was amiss. Women were dangerously perceptive creatures, especially involving their man and other women. However, since they were all disciples and one family, it wasn't a big deal. Most of them thought that Chen Wentian and Jasmine had another one of their arguments. Only Zhou Ziyun had a suspicious smirk on her face that no one else noticed.

After exercises and breakfast, everyone was summoned to the great hall for a meeting.

”Alright! Disciples, I have some announcements.” He said, quieting them down. ”The Immortal Association sent a notice. The finale of the Immortal Sect Competition for the Eastern Sanmu Subcontinent will take place one month from now. It will be held at the central region, where the association has their headquarters. It is called the Eastern Sanmu Metropolis, a city that is wholly administered by the association.”

”That sounds like an amazing place! What is it like?” Lin Qingcheng asked.

”Hmmm. It is the largest concentration of human cultivators on the subcontinent. It the center of trade, business, as well as everything related to cultivation. It is said that you can find fortunes beyond your wildest dreams there. At same time, you might just as easily lose everything in a single night. It is an interesting city but it is also filled with dangers. Human greed and wickedness are probably more dangerous than any demon or beast you can face. This is why, Jasmine, you're not going.”

”Why!” She whined.

”I just told you why. I can't protect you there…”

”Hmph! Fine… this princess expects a huge gift as compensation.”

Chen Wentian chuckled, understanding that he had been played by the rebellious little fox. After what he did to her last night, it would take much from her to get a rise out of him.

”Don't worry. I will have many gifts for you, more than you can imagine.” He said.

”… Good, whatever. I expect nothing less!”
