"Liying, it is not my fault. It is the fault of that vixen Hu Yali. If you want to scold, please give a lesson to that vixen first", Zhan Chen spoke. He had an innocent expression on his face as he looked towards Shui Liying.

"Hu Yali! Is it the name of the newly emerged emperor from the Fragrant Lily sect?", Shui Liying inquired with mental communication. Both of them were avoiding talking out loud because it may raise finger towards their relationship.

"Yes, I have met her during the Grand sect competition", Zhan Chen replied.

"Fine, I will talk with her another day. But we should take care of the most important matter at hand first. I have already thought about a location where you can face your tribulation safely", Shui Liying spoke.

"Okay. But let me talk with Xue Yi first. She has been waiting for me since two hours", Zhan Chen threw a look towards Xue Yi.

"Husband, no need to worry about it. Let me talk with my junior sister", Shui Liying spoke.

"Thanks", Zhan Chen could only expression gratitude to his diligent wife. A small smile appeared on Shui Liying's face after she heard Zhan Chen's thanks. She turned her head to look towards Xue Yi who was standing behind.

"Girl, come with me. I need to talk with you", Shui Liying spoke. A perplexed expression appeared on Xue Yi's face but she still nodded her head immediately. It was her fortune that the revered peak master of the Serene bamboo peak want to talk with her.

"Husband, wait here. We will be back in no time", Shui Liying sent a mental communication to Zhan Chen before leaving with Xue Yi. A smile appeared on Zhan Chen's face as saw Shui Liying flying away with Xue Yi.

'The more I get to know her, the more I grow to like her. If It was my previous life, I would have stopped taking another wife after getting Shui Liying. She is beautiful, gentle, thoughtful. What else a man can want from his woman?', Zhan Chen thought to himself.

'But reality is I am a dual cultivator in this life. Only because I am a dual cultivator, I get to know an amazing woman like hers. After getting her, I still take Huang Mei, Sima Chunhua, sect master Deng Yue as my wife. There is also the second princess who is so beautiful that her beauty seems unreal to eyes.

None of them are ordinary woman. All of them are prideful and amazing in their own way. They still choose to beleive me and accept me as their man. I can only treasure their feelings in my heart and strive to move forward. Only by getting unparallel strength, can I protect those close to me. Otherwise, everything wil be ruined like my previous life. I don't want to watch helplessly like my previous life as my loved ones face danger', Zhan Chen thought to himself. Unknowingly, his eyes got moistened as the painful memory of his previous life resurfaced in his brain.

Everywhere was a scene of destruction. The ruined palace building of the imperial Zhan family littered the ground. The loyal warriors of the imperial army were trying their best to escort him to the distance. But the enemy warriors vastly outnumber them. At every moment, someone close to Zhan Chen would fall to protect him. There was only despair and rage in his heart as he watched everything helplessly.

"Husband, what is the matter?", a concerned voice suddenly pulled Zhan Chen out of his reverie. Shui Liying threw away all her reservations after seeing the condition Zhan Chen was in. His eyes were moist and his face was pale. There was sweat drops on his forehead which saw he was not in good condition.

Zhan Chen found Shui Liying looking towards him with a concerned expression on her face. A surge of warmth appeared in his heart as he started to calm down. "Have you spoken with Xue Yi?", Zhan Chen asked her.

"Senior brother", Xue Yi called out from a distance. She was feeling slightly guilty after she talked with Shui Liying.

"Senior brother, I have never imagined you will be so much concerned about me. Now that I have known it, I feel assured now. You can look for me when you have free time in your hand", Xue Yi spoke after getting closed to Zhan Chen and Shui Liying. Her eyes were gentle as she looked towards Zhan Chen.

"Thanks for your understanding", Zhan Chen replied. "Okay, I am leaving. Let's meet outside the city", he spoke to Shui Liying.

Shui Liying was still worried but she didn't stop Zhan Chen from leaving. "Girl, cultivate properly while he is away. You can look for me if you have any doubt or if you need my assistance", Shui Liying spoke. 

"Senior, you are too kind", Xue Yi bowed towards her. Now, she knew about Shui Liying's relationship with Zhan Chen but it didn't lessen her respect towards her. Rather, she was now more motivated and determined after talking with Shui Liying.

"Senior, I will do my best to cultivate", she spoke to Shui Liying. Shui Liying nodded her head and flew towards the distance.

"Husband, are you alright? What happened to you earlier?", Shui Liying asked after meeting Zhan Chen in the outskirts of the Grey ash city. She had a concerned expression on her face as she waited for Zhan Chen to reply.

"No need to worry. Just some unpleasant memories", Zhan Chen spoke. He walked closer and pulled Shui Liying into his embrace.

"Husband, please restrain yourself. We have yet to leave the outskirts of the Grey ash city. If someone from the Soaring dragon alliance sees us....", Shui Liying spoke with reddened cheeks. She could free herself considering her strength but she didn't do anything to escape from Zhan Chen's embrace.

Zhan Chen lowered his head slightly and gave a quick kiss on her luscious lips. Seeing how embarassed Shui Liying was, a small smile appeared on his face.

"Which place have you choosen for my tribulation?", he asked after freeing her from his embrace.

"Husband, we are going to the Whispering wasterland. That place is slightly dangerous but it is the best place to face your tribulation without alerting anyone", Shui Liying spoke.

"Whispering wasteland! Is not it the place where a forbidden land of the Northern desert continent located?", Zhan Chen asked.

"Yes, the forbidden land is located in the center of the Whispering wasteland but we will avoid it. You can undergo your tribulation in the periphery of the Whispereding wasteland. It is already evening. So, by the time you start your tribulation, it will be already night. It is the best time to avoid the attraction of the cultivators", Shui Liying spoke.

"Okay, let's follow your plan. I have always wanted to see these forbidden lands of the Northern desert continent", Zhan Chen spoke. Shui Liying took out her flying boat and both of them rode it towards the distant horizon.
