Sleeping together

"…Amazing. I have reached the peak of the 2 Star Rank," Long Chen whispered in disbelief. He also experienced a great power in his body.

The same was true for Ren Yue. She had absorbed a major part of that foreign Ardor and naturally reached the peak of the 2-Star Rank despite originally possessing lower cultivation when compared to Long Chen.

"Thank you, Miss Ren," Long Chen mumbled sincerely.

"No. I am the grateful one. You…You saved Grandpa Mo. I was completely helpless," Ren Yue spoke as she hugged him.

Long Chen knew that she was rather emotional and hugged her back while speaking, "…He can't fight anymore. His vitality is withering rapidly, and he will require his Ardor to sustain it for some time. Also, we need to recall some doctors to get medicinal pellets to help him quickly recover from these serious injuries."

"Um! I was thinking the same," Ren Yue spoke. She also didn't wish to make Grandpa Mo fight any longer.

The two continued to hug each other for a few minutes.

Ren Yue suddenly looked into Long Chen's eyes. Their faces were awfully close as the entire moment turned a bit amorous.

Her emotions that she had restrained quite a bit had startled to leak slowly.

Long Chen noticed her emotions as a serious expression appeared on his face, "…You look tired, Miss Ren. I think we should return to our rooms and get some rest."

Ren Yue was jolted out of her reverie as she nodded, "…I feel a bit too tired. Carry me to my room."

Long Chen obeyed readily as he suddenly stood up and held her in the princess carry style.

Ren Yue continued to stare at Long Chen's face. Her heart pounded rapidly as she could feel his warmth. His manly scent. And the sense of safety he provided her.

Ren Yue's arms locked around Long Chen's neck as her gaze turned gentle.

Long Chen noticed that gaze, but he ignored it. He started walking and very soon entered her room.

He gently laid Ren Yue on the bed and was about to walk away when suddenly, Ren Yue grabbed his arm tightly.

"What are you doing, Yue'er?" He asked gently.

Ren Yue didn't answer his question. Instead, she leaped at him while tightly wrapping his arms around his body. It was as if she was scared that he would leave her.

The two fell to the ground with Ren Yue on top of him. Her busty chest rubbed against Long Chen's chest, but there seemed to be no sign of embarrassment on her face.

In fact, Long Chen noticed that her face was overflowing with an intense desire.

Before he could say anything, Ren Yue's lips sealed Long Chen's lips.

Long Chen was utterly startled as Ren Yue aggressively kissed him. She was pretty much a novice regarding kissing and had only heard her maids mention this act.

Her tongue touched Long Chen's tongue multiple times. It was for a noticeably short moment, but it sent an electrifying shock across their bodies. This electrifying shock felt so stimulating and delightful that Ren Yue didn't want to stop.

However, the two were soon out of breath, and Ren Yue's lips finally parted. The two started panting heavily as their chests rose and fell.

"…Why? Why did you make such an impulsive decision? You might regret it in the future," Long Chen inquired sourly.

"Brother Chen, I love you. It's not just an immature infatuation. I…It's because of your actions. They have touched my heart so many times that I feel like I will explode if I don't do something," Ren Yue answered softly.

Long Chen whispered, "I like you, Yue'er. But not romantically. I can't give you what you desire."

Ren Yue smiled and spoke, "I know. I have realized that you have someone in your heart."

Long Chen asked, "Then why? Why did you act so impulsively when you knew this?"

Ren Yue responded, "Brother Chen, I really don't care at this point. I would rather have a secret romantic relationship with you than no relationship. I will keep on courting you no matter how many times you reject me."

Long Chen fell into deep thought. Ren Yue's words truly touched him. All his life, Long Chen had experienced a strange inferiority complex. Perhaps it was because of the world he had lived all his life, so he believed that he couldn't match up to Ren Yue's Noble Identity.

He never imagined that a former Noble Heiress like Ren Yue would love him so sincerely. It made him reluctant to break her heart.

The two slowly stood up, and Long Chen gave her a long stare before speaking slowly, "Even if I agree, this won't be fair to you."

Ren Yue was delighted to hear his words. She knew that this meant he was on the verge of relenting.

"How will it be unfair to me? You overlook that I am a former Noble Heiress. My father had a wife and seven concubines. A gifted man having multiple lovers is quite a common occurrence for me. So, why are you so reluctant? If you marry me and I replace the Jin Family with my Ren Family, you will be the Lord of the Ren Family."

Ren Yue tried to do her best to convince Long Chen. Her words indeed shook him, and a complicated look appeared on his face.

"You want the power and influence of a Noble Family. That's why you are helping me, right? Then I will share it with you. I will share everything that I own with you," Ren Yue spoke as she tried her best to persuade him.

Long Chen stared at Ren Yue and whispered, "…Yue'er, I indeed want the strength and influence of a Noble Family. However, I have never wanted to control that power personally."

"I will tell you my true ambition," Long Chen spoke solemnly.

"…My ambition is to unite all the powers in Zhongxing Kingdom to create a united front against a great disaster. I have just ten years or so. Your Noble Family is just the first step in uniting the powers in the Zhongxing Kingdom."

He then spoke bitterly, "I did promise to help you fight against the Jin Family, but my true aim has been to assassinate the upper ranks of the Jin Family and seize control of their territory without any great battle or massacre. The combined forces of the Jin Family and your faction would definitely become one of the strongest in Zhongxing Kingdom."

Ren Yue was entirely shaken as she heard his words. She never expected that his ambition wasn't just limited to her Noble Family but to uniting something as great as the entire Zhongxing Kingdom.

However, she realized an issue as she heard his words.

"I see. This means you plan on helping other factions as well to request their help against this great disaster," Ren Yue spoke.

"Yes," Long Chen spoke.

Ren Yue spoke, "…If this is how you plan to act, you will definitely fail."

"…What?" Long Chen inquired curiously. He was a bit startled by Ren Yue's words.

"How will you ensure that they listen to you? Even if you make them understand that they need to preserve their strength to fight a great disaster, they will most likely ignore your words and still fight their mortal enemy. No matter how great your forces are, you can't stop them from this. You might even need to slaughter them all!" Ren Yue spoke solemnly.

"…What other choice do I have?" Long Chen asked helplessly.

Ren Yue spoke callously, "Make them your family. Only if you have a familial relationship with them will they actually listen to you. Only then will they believe that you are thinking for them."

She then stared at Long Chen, "I am willing to share everything I possess with you. I am willing even to become your concubine if your true love is unhappy about her position in the harem. I…I just want you to love me as well."

Her eyes were filled with a strange passion that greatly affected Long Chen.

"I will help you in your ambition. I will kill anyone who dares to stand in our way. I will always follow your instructions. So, just what more do you want?" Ren Yue whispered as she slowly wrapped her arms around Long Chen's torso.

"…I am speechless. In all my life, I have never expected to hear something like this, Yue'er. It also makes me ashamed of myself that I was so stupid, so clueless that you had to explain in detail just to make me understand," Long Chen spoke.

"Shh. Don't restrain yourself. I am sure your lover won't be unhappy becoming the wife of such a capable man like you," Ren Yue spoke as she caressed his chest.

Long Chen suddenly spoke as he wrapped his arms around Ren Yue's body, "…No. She won't be my wife. You will be my wife, Yue'er."

'I apologize, Xinyi. But Yue'er is truly sacrificing a lot. I…I can't let her be wronged like this. If you reject me, I won't ever blame you. Perhaps we have no fate in this life.'

Meanwhile, Ren Yue was utterly startled upon hearing his words. She saw his face getting closer and his lips touching her own.

This time, it was completely different from the previous aggressive kiss, where Ren Yue had taken the lead.

Long Chen took the lead as his tongue entered Ren Yue's mouth and made contact with her tongue.

The exhilarating sensation Ren Yue experienced was much stronger this time.

Their lips parted after two seconds. Even though Ren Yue was out of breath, she still felt unsatisfied. She wanted to kiss him for much longer.

"This is how you kiss a lover, Yue'er," She heard a soft whisper.

"You accept me?" Ren Yue asked, her voice trembling with excitement. She didn't think that he would actually agree so soon.

"…Yes. Your sincerity has touched me. I hope I will be worthy of your love, Yue'er," Long Chen spoke with a gentle smile.

Ren Yue fell into a trance as she saw that smile. This was the smile she fell in love with.

She spoke with a teasing look, "I will train you. Don't worry. It won't take more than a week."

"Hehe…I thought you would say it won't be more than a night," Long Chen suddenly spoke as he hugged her tightly.

Ren Yue slowly bent her knees and rubbed her head against his chest. Long Chen didn't touch her tactlessly. He was a bit worried that he would find this kind of thing awkward.

Ren Yue naturally noticed his hesitation and silently grabbed his left hand and placed it on her curvy buttocks. Before Long Chen could say anything, she held his right hand and put it on her towering bust.

Her hourglass figure could easily tempt any man. Thus, Long Chen, who actually felt her soft and curvy figure, was incredibly aroused.

Ren Yue mumbled in a muffled voice, "…I am your woman. I…I am a bit hesitant about doing anything sexual, but I will allow you to touch me if you want. Actually, if you want to do it now, I will definitely do it."

Long Chen pulled his hands and slowly placed his finger on her lips, "Shh. No more doing these things."

"We are lovers. I wish you treat me equally and sincerely rather than kindly and differently. I like your personality more than this woman who is requesting me to accept her," Long Chen whispered so gently, so sweetly, that Ren Yue seemed to melt in his arms.

Ren Yue felt drawn to him. Moreover, his words truly touched her heart.

She felt that choosing this man as her lover was the best decision she had made in her entire life.

She slowly nodded and spoke, "I understand. You are my only love, Chen."

The two kissed again. This one was longer than the previous two kisses.

After the kiss ended, the two stared into each other's eyes and smiled shyly.

"…Can I sleep here?" Long Chen asked.

Ren Yue was so thrilled to hear this question that she couldn't open her mouth in excitement. She instantly hummed, "Mhm~!"

After some time, the two were resting on the bed, with Ren Yue wrapped in Long Chen's arms.

They could feel each other's warmth and touched their hearts race. Naturally, they were rather lovey-dovey as Long Chen's hands moved around Ren Yue's entire body while Ren Yue did the same.

She was genuinely enjoying the feeling of his lean but muscular body. She stared at his handsome appearance and felt blessed. She could never get tired of seeing him.

"Sleep now. I just want to hold you in my arms today," Long Chen whispered with an affectionate look on his face.

"…Yes, my prince," Ren Yue spoke with the same passion present in her tone.
