Will we be happy together?

After saying goodbye to their parents, Vlad and the 2 girls entered a cave. They walked for a while before arriving in front of what looked like a space portal.

"Let's go inside. Vlad, you might feel dizzy since it's your first time," Alenka said.

After passing through the portal, they appeared in a completely different world. It can be described as plain or boring and overgrown.

Just like Alenka said, Vlad felt dizzy and almost fell down, but Feng Yao held him up.

"The air is different from that of the divine world…" Vlad frowned.

"No. This isn't air, it's… spiritual energy, right?" Yao asked.

Alenka agreed.

"On the lower planes, the worlds contain spiritual energy. You can directly absorb this energy and you don't need a transformation disk. Of course it's up to you. Come on, there's a small town nearby. I'll show you where you'll live."

When they entered the small town, Vlad and Yao's expressions turned ugly. All the houses were the same. A simple cabin made of wood. They were both used to living in a vast palace full of comforts and servants; the abrupt change was not well received.

They kept walking until they came to a cabin with the number 108 engraved on the door.

"This will be your new house, inside there is a room, a kitchen, a bathroom and a special room for cultivation, this is your key" Alenka gave Vlad a token, "don't lose it, with this token you can activate the barrier protection when you don't want to be disturbed or when you leave the house".

Vlad took the token and said: "Thanks, Alenka. What will we do next?"

"Let's take a tour of the city. I'll show you the important places."

They soon came to a 5-story wooden building. The construction looks old, but elegant.

"This is the quest room, quests are assigned once a month. Each time you complete a quest, it rewards you with clan points. You can complete your quest on the same day or choose another day, quests can be stacked."

They walked for a while before they came to a luxury 10-story building, "this building is a luxury restaurant, you can eat here once a month"

"Hey, why only once a month?" Yao complained.

Feng Yao was an immortal, and he did not need to eat. But as a princess of the phoenix clan, she was used to eating exquisite dishes when she wasn't cultivating behind closed doors.

"The point of the training is for the young men of the clan to learn to be independent and give up attachment to comforts," Alenka replied.

"In this place, the children of the clan will not only learn about cultivation, it is also a survival course. At the age of 16, they will be sent to a Sect to continue their training. They cannot be useless young masters or they will lose the face of the clan".

"Let's go eat. I haven't had a single bite in weeks. By the way, today you can eat here, from tomorrow you have to hunt and cook your own food, at least Vlad still needs to eat every once in a while."

The three of them entered the restaurant, and after eating something, Alenka continued to guide Vlad and Yao around the city.

"This is the largest building in the city. Here you will receive conferences, from dawn to noon, 5 days a week. After noon you are free to do whatever you want. Of course, it is recommended that you do productive things like cultivating or practice some profession. Very well let's go to the last place I want to show you. That place is outside the city."

North of the city, 3 people stood outside a small coliseum. They were Alenka, Vlad and Yao. Alenka spoke up, "This coliseum has 5 fighting arenas. You can arrange a fight with someone by betting your clan points against your opponent. That's all for today. Let's go back to the city."

On the way to the city, the 3 of them talked like they were friends. Although Alenka seemed like a serious person, she was actually cheerful and fun.

"Little Vlad, you are very mischievous and a good talker, despite being so young. Tell me, how many wives will you have when you grow up?" Alenka asked.

Vlad gave her an amused look and said, "Hahaha why do you ask?, do you want to be my wife?"

"Shameless child," Feng Yao snorted.

Alenka kept quiet. She wanted to embarrass Vlad, but her plans failed.

"Hahahaha Alenka, your face is very funny," said Vlad.

Alenka realized that they were making fun of her, "stinky boy, do you want a beating?"

"I'm sorry Alenka, you look very beautiful when you blush" Vlad didn't want her to get away easily.

The woman herself knew that she couldn't compete with Vlad using words, so she disappeared saying nothing. She was too embarrassed and didn't say goodbye to them.

For some reason Feng Yao felt bitter. She didn't like to see Vlad flirting with other women. But she said nothing.

When they entered the hut, Yao wanted to find a place to farm, but she was stopped by Vlad. "Yao, come to the room. I want to show you something."

The young woman was surprised. She did not know what Vlad wants to show her, but she nodded and approached him.

Shortly after, Vlad took out a white sphere, smiled and said "close your eyes".

Before Yao could ask any questions, they both disappeared from the room.

When they opened their eyes, they were inside a luxurious room full of new furniture and striking paintings.

Yao's eyes widened in surprise. She looked at Vlad and said, "where are we? How did we get here?"

"Do you like this place, hehehe? It's a gift from my father, a vast palace inside a portable world. My father gave it to me yesterday. Let's go explore," Vlad said.

The couple toured the palace and noted its structure.

The Palace had 4 areas.

In the first area, the rooms were located, each bedroom was well furnished, and had a giant bathtub that can easily fit 5 people.

The main room had a very spacious balcony with a view of a beautiful garden. Not only that, the main room also had an enormous bed, for approximately 20 people, there were also different luxury furniture.

"This is amazing. Your father definitely wants you to have a big harem." Yao snorted in annoyance.

"My mother wants to have many daughters-in-law".

"What do you want?".

"I don't know, I haven't thought about that."

Yao looked at him incredulously. "I want to see the bathroom."

"..."

"A pool" Vlad seemed uncomfortable with the situation. "Yao, don't bother. Let's find another room, something more cozy."

In the second area, there were special halls for cultivation and a training ground.

The third area was built for the purpose of performing alchemy, blacksmithing, making talismans and array.

They soon reached the fourth area. There was a vast library containing cultivation manuals and combat skills, the library was divided into 5 sections. Vlad approached a shelf and saw rows of green jades. He took a jade and infused his spiritual sense into it. Information immediately came to his head; "introductory sword…" he continued to collect more jades, "introductory spear", "9 basic sword moves…", "introductory hammer of destruction…".

Vlad looked at the thousands of jades and scrolls that were arranged on those shelves.

'I wonder how father got all these techniques. It seems that all the basics are on this shelf, I'll start here' thought Vlad.

After picking up some jades, Vlad looked at Yao excitedly and said, "do you want any techniques? You can take what you need."

"I am a divine beast. None of this is of any use to me. The cultivation of divine beasts is different from that of humans. Thanks for your offer," Yao said with a smile.

Feng Yao felt a small warmth in her heart, seeing that Vlad shared all these techniques with her.

Vlad felt a bit embarrassed. He hadn't thought of that. "By the way, what is your cultivation level?"

"5-star Immortal Beast, my cultivation is equivalent to an Immortal Monarch."

"You are very powerful. Does it make you uncomfortable being engaged to someone weaker than you?"

"On the divine plane, my strength means nothing, plus you are very talented. Your birth was very special"

"And the feelings? You don't love me… My parents get along very well because they love each other. Do you think that in the future we will have problems? Will we be happy together?"

"At first I had doubts too, but now that I know you a bit, I think you're a nice person. I have no problem with spending the rest of my life with you, even if our relationship started with an arranged marriage. I think I will love you in the future. But if you dare to leave me or if you allow another of your wives to disrespect me, I will kill you.

Vlad felt a chill run through her entire body, and I don't doubt that she would keep her word.

Arranged marriages were commonplace on the divine plane, so the young woman was resigned to marrying Vlad, but deep in her soul, Yao had another thought. 'Even if Vlad is intelligent, he is a child, I will take care of making him the husband that I want him to be' well at least that was what she thought...

"Yesterday, I wanted to talk to you about this topic. I wanted to make a decision," said Vlad.

"Decision?" Feng Yao frowned.

"About our commitment. I had doubts if this relationship was good for both of them."

"What do you think now?" Yao felt a bit nervous.

Vlad smiled and said. "I think we will be happy together."
