"It will be best to hide our relationship untill you reach a higher position", Ruyan said with a serious look on her face.
"Relax, you don't have to worry about it. After I treat you, I promise you can cultivate again.
Moreover, it will not take me long to reach your cultivation. I will never see my woman being bullied by others", Zhan Chen said with an assuring tone on his voice.
"Thanks for your concern. As long as I can cultivate again, there will be no problem", Shen Ruyan replied with a smile on her face.
Zhan Chen was bewitched by her sweet smile. He cupped her beautiful face again and started to suck on her thick lips.
"Knock, knock", the beautiful moment got ruined by the sound coming from the door. Fortunately, Ruyan was already in new clothes. Zhan Chen left her and went towards the door.
He opened up the door and felt surprised to see the person outside. No it was no longer looked like a person, it was like a fluffy creature with tons of sweat coming out from its body.
"Big brother", the creature happily cried out and pulled Zhan Chen for a hug. "Damn fatty!", before Zhan Chen Chen could curse, his body was already pulled over by the ball like creature.
Zhan Chen surrendered and let the creature hug him. Zhan Chen freed himself quickly and observed the unique creation of heaven Infront of him. "Fatty Xu, how can you grow so much in a mere month?", Zhan Chen ased with a voice full of surprise.
The fatty Infront of him was his best friend, Xu Wenhong. He had last seen him just a month ago. Previously when he last saw him, he could be compared to a short statured cattle. At least the size of cattle was still manageable but now Xu Wenhong was looking like a baby elephant. In addition with his short height, he was looking like a unique creation of his own.
"Big brother, don't leave me standing. Can we go inside?", Xu Wenhong asked for the most important thing, he wanted to do at this moment. Walking the vast Zhan family's estate and then searching for Zhan Chen had already lessened some of his bulk. Now he wanted to take a rest before doing anything else.
"No, we are going outside. You can take rest after we reach the guest room", Zhan Chen replied.
"Big brother, you are so cruel", Xu Wenhong protested.
Zhan Chen ignored his protest and looked back at the room. "Ruyan, let's go. We will go and see mother", he spoke with a soft voice.
Shen Ruyan came out and Xu Wenhong stood stunned at the sight of her. "What fatty, have you seen her before?", Zhan Chen asked with an amused voice.
Xu Wenhong nodded his voice solemnly. "Young miss, if I am not wrong, you are from the Firecloud treasure pavilion, right?", fatty Xu asked Ruyan.
Shen Ruyan nodded her head as she looked towards Xu Wenhong with slight interest in her eyes.
"Young miss, I am Xu Wenhong from the Xu family. May I know young miss's name?", Xu Wenhong asked Ruyan.
"Ok, fatty. If you need anything from Firecloud treasure pavilion, then you can tell me. You have already sold my pill recipe to them. I have many more of those pill recipes", Zhan Chen spoke to Xu Wenhong while shaking his head. "This fatty is so shameless", he thought inside his mind.
"What recipe? Are you talking about the Profound Qi gathering pill?", Ruyan asked with bewilderment in her eyes.
"Yes, that pill formula was from me", Zhan Chen nodded his head.
"No wonder, such a formula appeared in such a remote place. I am just planning to send someone to Xu family but now I understand. You give this formula to young master Xu Wenhong", Ruyan spoke after realising the true facts about the pill formula.
"You don't have any idea about how rare your formula is. No need to expose such formula to outside world. You can send someone from your Zhan family to Firecloud pavilion, if you need anything", Shen Ruyan looked at Zhan Chen with a hint of worry in her eyes.
How could Zhan Chen deny her! He nodded his head as he knew he would give her much more later. Fatty Xu was seeing their interaction and already noticed their unusual relationship. But as clever as a fatty he was, he tactfully ignored such things.
"Ruyan, why are you here? I have just finished seeing my guests and I am coming to talk with you", Li Qingzhao met Zhan Chen and Shen Ruyan near the entrance of the guest hall. There was Zhan Qingyue with her.
"Fatty, what happened to you?", Zhan Qingyue spoke with interest after seeing Xu Wenhong.
"Sister Qingyue, you are growing prettier", Xu Wenhong instantly avoided the question and praised the beauty of Qingyue shamelessly.
"Fatty, eat lesser. Otherwise, you can't even walk. Forget it, I am not here to talk with a fatty.
Little Chen, some guests are wanting to see you. Eldest aunt is also there", Zhan Qingyue spoke to Zhan Chen.
"Mother, I will come back quickly. Big sis, let's go", Zhan Chen threw a look at Shen Ruyan and walked away with Zhan Qingyue. Fatty shamelessly tagged with Zhan Chen to go see the guests. His plan was simple. "To find some beauty to talk".
Zhan Chen stepped out of the guest hall after half an hour. He had a smile on his face as he lamented how shameless the fatty had grown. His eldest aunt introduced him Infront of some of his friends which were also from other prominent families of the capital. But fatty quickly found a way to talk about himself there.
Even his second aunt who generally remained stern, laughed after seeing the antics of Xu Wenhong. Zhan Chen had already bade farewell to the fatty as he didn't want him to disturb him today.
He walked towards his mother's place where Shen Ruyan and his mother was chatting with eachother.
"Ruyan, why are you staying silent today. It is not like you", he heard the voice of his mother as he entered her living room.
