chapter 18 - Obsessive

Their spar ended with both benefit from their battle. Xiao shen carried the unconscious woman within his arms. He chuckled surprised that she was lighter expected.

For someone who is genius, she was still a fragile girl who hadn't even grown into adulthood. The only reason why xiao shen mature faster was because of his bloodline who would put him in his prime and become ageless.

Xiao shen was both immortal in soul, body and mind but he could still kill himself if he wanted but that won't happen soon.

"Young man is my granddaughter alright!?"

Nalan jie became concerned for her granddaughter. It was the first time he had seen something remarkable from their spar. He had lived for many years and fought countless battle but it was the first he had seen a mere stick parry a real blade that had high class materials.

Perhaps if they added dou qi to cover around the stick it would be possible but he saw them not using the slightest duo qi fully relying in physical strength.

"She's fine but the thing she used in the blade had overwhelming her mind leading to a mental exhaustion but don't worry it isn't critical by any means, only need few hours rest."

Nalan jie was relieve to hear that there weren't any major damage and was only exhausted from that increased her sharpness when they fought.

He was curious at what happened but brought xiao shen and his granddaughter to a room for her to rest. Nalan jie smiled seeing her granddaughter in the arms of the one who gave him a chance to live once again.

After laying her down to rest, xiao shen and nalan jie sat down near the balcony of the room. The old veteran glanced the young man who exude of a wise sage that saw everything.

"Young man you do not need to answer me by I must ask what manner of power you used to make a mere stick into a weapon? It did not have any dou qi from what I can tell."

Xiao shen rubbed his chin then used his index finger to form an intent that had faint glow to it. Nalan jie was surprised a mere finger became sharp as blade without any dou qi.

"What you had seen is called intent, it is a form of power when one's thought fuse with a weapon or tool. In the world where people rely far too heavily in Dou Qi wouldn't truly reach the apex."

Nalan jie was surprised to hear that they are forms of power than dou qi. Even without xiao shen, the great thousand worlds had many different kinds of power like in the wu doing qian kun where they are yuan and mental energy that one can used.

Their energy is much more versatile than dou qi continent but lack power unlike you qi. Of course it doesn't mean they are weaker by any means only far too different.

"Amazing! Young man despite being a cripple you manage to find a way to grow stronger!"

"Of course for my heart could defy the heaven. Though your granddaughter truly live up to her genius status."

"Can you elaborate??"

"Intent is not an easy feat to accomplish. One thought, one body and one heart must become one to create intent. They are many intent but what you witness is called sword intent. An average talent would take hundred years but yanran manage in few hours of our battle."

Xiao shen explained towards the intrigue old man. He continued explaining that intent had many types one about desire to the demonic intent.

He knew about much martial intents from peerless martial art god where they are many types of intent. After explaining nalan jie thank him for the answer and went back inside where yanran began to wake up.

"Your finally awake granddaughter!"

"W-What happened?? The last thing I remember is having this weird sensation then everything went blank."

"Take it easy and relax your mind. Here drink this."

Xiao shen brought out a jade bottle inside his storage ring. The drink was a medicine that calms the mind and prevents it from being permanently damage.

Yanran drank it without hesitation knowing xiao shen wouldn't hurt her. Nalan jie smiled then glances towards her granddaughter afterwards left the room. He called for his men to prepare the next day to change the proposal.

'With this both will retain their honor.'

Being left in the room xiao shen would thank nalan jie for being his wingman. Yanran finish drinking her drink then asked xiao shen about what happened.

"You manage to attain a state where your heart, body and mind became one to form an intent. It what I did with that stick."

Yanran was surprised that she was able to what xiao shen demonstrated. She was thankful for teaching her in ways to improve her skills. Xiao shen said she did not mind and there are no debts to be paid beside visit her from time to time.

Yanran smiled while blushing seeing it was the first time she form a relationship with another man. She started to admire him for his skills and change her view towards the Xiao clan.

"Since young lady yanran is alright I will take my leave."

"Wait can you stay a little longer?"

"If young lady yanran doesn't mind then very well."

"Yanran."

"Pardon?"

"J-Just call me yanran, don't need to add young lady."

"Hahaha sure!"

Xiao shen stayed for a while accompanying yanran until she recovered. He was started to like her personality more and more, she was young girl deep down interested in the beauty of the worlds. .

Yanran dream was to explore the land and have the ability control her fate. Xiao shen would surely gave he that one day.

Months have passed the destruction of hun clan had made everyone in the dou di continent grew wary of an unknown powerhouse revealing itself to the world.

Many knew how powerful the hun clan were but to easily be destroyed without a trace made everyone thought of the dou Di stage. It was only the explanation.

Everyone investigate who the expert was in order to gain it's mercy because they were afraid of accidentally offending the expert. They were few who wanted to collaborate with this mysterious duo di but in the end they are just fools.

In that months, yun yun saw her disciple improving rapidly made her curious and was inform about xiao shen. She began to join their training gaining massive boost in strength.

Yun yun began to admire the man who's a cripple gaining other ways to fight. She wanted to know more about him that makes him so special.

For the time of their training, xiao shen had brought xun-er who gave judgmental gaze towards the two woman that shudder due her eyes.

Xiao shen didn't realize that xun-er had grown into one would call a obsessive yandere. If someone like his ge-ge by one bit then she would forcibly make them to like him. Not like xiao shen needed help because any woman he interact with that gain his interest are bound to with him.

He had met with ya fei offering at job in his merchant business which she accepted interested in the highest sells in business. She was easy to gain her affection when seeing xiao shen face made her flutter.

"I never expected to have such a mature look despite being only fourteen. xun-er always said her ge-ge is handsome but never this much."

"I'm flatter and I must say the same thing big ya fei."

"You quite smooth well I lost a bet from xun-er asking me to date her fiancée. I'm surprise she supportive of you having other woman or…did you force her to, naughty shen-er."

Ya fei moved closer to xiao when teasing him but was surprised when he boldly grab her waste with a smirk.

"I am no child that could be tease easily, Big-sis-ya-fei."

His manly voice made her extremely hot. Being a primordial dragon made it easier for a woman to fall for him. Xiao shen took her in the restaurant where he owns that hadn't yet open.

"Isn't this one of the new restaurant that gaining popularity? How did you manage to get reservation??"

"Well you must know that I own this restaurant."

She knew that xiao shen govern the business of the xiao clan but didn't expect to this degree. The restaurant opened in the jia ma empire then open wu tan city.

"I didn't expect that the xiao clan to have such luxurious business. You truly know how to treat woman."

"Hahaha I'm glad you like it but you must know this is separate from the xiao clan as it my business not theirs."

He didn't want his own business to be tainted by arrogant xiao clan member. Xiao shen loved his family but not the clan as whole.

Ya fei was impress of the young man for his capability to grow a business on his own. She became much more interested of him.
