Chapter 1415: Tianlian Zhenren's Shyness

Two days passed.

Outside Longshe Mountain, Tianlian Zhenren was practicing swordplay, the blade constantly trembling, not steady.

Her whole body quivered; her gaze kept fixed on one spot, unable to calm down or look away.

She seemed to stare in one direction; after a while she snapped her head back, resumed sword practice, and in a moment she looked at that spot again. Restless, she had only one question in mind.

"Two days have passed; why haven't they come out yet? This is insane!"

Tianlian Zhenren stared at Xinran Zhanglao's residence, her mind and eyes filled with them, waiting for them to emerge, but none came.

She would glance after intervals, each time for a while; this subconscious, furtive habit made her little heart race—she wanted to look but feared being discovered, and then…

But she couldn't help looking; each time she told herself not to, that there was nothing to see, yet she still couldn't resist.

She repeated this many times, telling herself one glance would suffice or she'd be caught; she didn't realize Azure Dragon Daoist had been watching her, and he didn't care how she peeped—he wouldn't expose it, letting her continue.

"Can these two cause such a commotion for so long? Xinran Zhanglao seems to be experiencing this for the first time, and Chen Chuyang really doesn't know how to cherish a lady."

"I wonder whether when they finally emerge it'll be one person or two?"

"I guess Xinran Zhanglao can't get out of bed; should I go check on her?"

Deep inside, Tianlian Zhenren repeatedly reminded herself not to keep looking; she'd be discovered, and if Chen Chuyang and the others found out she was spying, it would be truly awkward.

Half an hour later, the door opened.

Tianlian Zhenren instantly averted her gaze, no longer looking that way, though her peripheral vision still couldn't help scanning over.

Sure enough, her guess was right: Chen Chuyang emerged first, not Xinran Zhanglao. After Chen left, Xinran did not follow; she hadn't appeared for a long time, apparently truly unable to get out of bed.

After waiting a long while without Xinran Zhanglao appearing, Tianlian Zhenren couldn't help moving forward, standing at the doorway of Xinran's residence; after a moment, Xinran's room opened, welcoming Tianlian Zhenren inside.

When she entered, Chen Chuyang glanced this way and smiled.

Azure Dragon True Person appeared beside him, teasing, "This time you finally got what you wanted; have you dealt with Hongxue?"

"Naturally no problem; Hongxue doesn't care that much, she'd love for me to find more women," Chen Chuyang bragged.

As a man, even in front of his own clone, he has to show off.

Azure Dragon Daoist chuckled, "Your true self, you'd better be careful; don't let things get out of hand."

"You haven't come out these two days; Tianlian Zhenren has been spying on you."

Chen Chuyang raised an eyebrow, "Is that so?"

"Of course, I've been watching her; her gaze has been fixed on Xinran Zhanglao's room, so she probably wants to go in," Azure Dragon Daoist teased.

That look, mocking Chen Chuyang, says since Xinran Zhanglao has already been taken, why not take her as well.

Tianlian Zhenren isn't lacking, and she also had that thought.

Azure Dragon Daoist saw it at a glance; the true self didn't want to admit it, or rather was unwilling to admit it. Azure Dragon Daoist didn't care; he would certainly speak up, forcing Chen Chuyang to choose, rather than keep dragging Tianlian Zhenren.

Tianlian Zhenren went to find Xinran Zhanglao; he, too, should be more proactive and take her as well.

Azure Dragon Daoist knew Chen Chuyang's abilities and thus understood some of his thoughts; a man isn't afraid of many women, the key is loyalty and trustworthiness. Tianlian Zhenren, in any case, is a trustworthy person.

She is also from their world, and in every respect, she's excellent.

The most important point is that she's a single person, a lone soul. Though she's Shang Hongchen's master, that relationship doesn't hinder them; on the contrary, it excites Chen Chuyang even more. Didn't you see Xinran Zhanglao hasn't left the house?

She must be unable to get out of bed.

"Why not take her as well, so the two aren't awkward? That way I'll also know how to treat them," Azure Dragon Daoist nudged Chen Chuyang, urging, "I understand Tianlian Zhenren's thoughts; I even asked her opinion. Soon you'll go straight into Xinran Zhanglao's room, and she'll tell you what to do."

Chen Chuyang flashed a glare at Azure Dragon Daoist, "Can you be serious? Stop always thinking about these things, it's…"

"Your true self, stop pretending; you're definitely stirred. I tell you, this is a great chance—if you miss it, you'll have to wait a long time," Azure Dragon Daoist continued urging, telling him to speed up, not to act indifferent; after all, men naturally understand each other's thoughts.

"Cough, cough, cough," Chen Chuyang hurriedly coughed, said nothing, and looked toward Xinran Zhanglao's room.

An hour later, there was no movement inside the room, and Tianlian Zhenren still hadn't emerged.

Chen Chuyang still arrived at the doorway, and Xinran Zhanglao herself came out to greet him.

Restored to vigor, Xinran Zhanglao smiled brightly at Chen Chuyang, immediately took his hand, pressed her body against his, and gently said, "Husband, you finally came; I've waited for you so long."

Saying that, she pulled his hand inward, leaving Chen Chuyang no chance to speak.

Upon entering the room, Tianlian Zhenren sat to the side, head lowered, daring not to look up.

She also dared not speak; sensing Chen Chuyang's arrival, she tucked her head even lower.

Chen Chuyang naturally noticed her nervousness, looked at Xinran Zhanglao, his gaze questioning.

Xinran Zhanglao smiled, "Hehe, husband, didn't you already have thoughts? Now you're shy?"

Pointing at Tianlian Zhenren, Xinran Zhanglao smiled, "This is Sister Tianlian; she's admired you for a long time."

Tianlian Zhenren's body trembled, her face flushing, unable to look at Chen Chuyang.

Chen Chuyang fixed his gaze on Tianlian Zhenren and asked, "Tianlian Zhenren, are you ready?"

"Mm," Tianlian Zhenren replied.

Her voice was like a mosquito's buzz.

Her complexion was crimson, like a ripe peach.

Xinran Zhanglao pushed him forward, leading him to stand before Tianlian Zhenren; the meaning was crystal clear.

Chen Chuyang received permission, reached out, his hand pressing on Tianlian Zhenren's shoulder, causing her body to quake violently.

The magnitude of the tremor was huge, surpassing any previous one.

The base of her neck turned bright red, yet she didn't lift her head, continuing to bow.

Her skull was buried low; Chen Chuyang's hand lifted her chin, making her raise her head. Only then did Tianlian Zhenren meet his gaze—a single, delicate, shy look, beautiful and alluring.

"Tianlian Zhenren, do you truly wish to follow me?" Chen Chuyang asked again.

Tianlian Zhenren blushed and nodded, "Mm."

The rest needed no words; Chen Chuyang broke his own promise, lifted Tianlian Zhenren into his arms, and set off.
