you…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>want to stay?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>_1 Yao Xiong was busy meeting with major forces, leaving Lin Chen with some free time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Yuexi had stayed on the ship for two days, too shy to stay longer, she quietly excused herself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Purple Cloud Immortal Lord was healing her wounds, so Lin Chen spent his days with Yao Xuanji.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two didn’t exchange sweet nothings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead, they drank tea, chatted, played chess, or prepared a delicious meal together, much like a typical couple spending their weekend.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The day before they set off, Lin Chen and Yao Xuanji were having tea and playing chess until it gradually got dark.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yao Xuanji asked, “Are you leaving tomorrow?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen nodded, “Yes, I’m going to take a tour of the Heavenly Demon Continent.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yao Xuanji pursed her lips, “With Sister Ziyun accompanying you, I won’t join you.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Take care of yourself.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen laughed, “Don’t worry, she’s an Immortal Monarch, incredibly strong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Also, Sister Qi is there, and the Dragon Chant Sword seals the Ancestral Dragon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I can’t feel any more secure!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yao Xuanji laughed too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Indeed, what was there to worry about with Purple Cloud Immortal Lord and Qi by his side?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if they were up against the most dangerous enemy or environment and couldn’t win, they could definitely keep Lin Chen safe and pull off an escape.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not to mention, Lin Chen himself was a master of escape!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After finishing a game of chess, Lin Chen stood up to leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yao Xuanji bit her lip and whispered, “Do you…want to stay?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen was slightly taken aback.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He turned to see Yao Xuanji’s face turn bright red, her eyes avoiding his.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen stepped forward and embraced Yao Xuanji.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yao Xuanji went limp, resting within Lin Chen’s arms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She knew what it would mean if Lin Chen chose to stay.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Lin Chen didn’t take her to bed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead, he held her tightly in his arms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Xuanji, wait for me to come back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At a better time, when we are alone…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yao Xuanji felt a surge of emotion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She understood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen didn’t want their first time to be so rushed, especially since she had just met Gu Yuexi and Purple Cloud Immortal Lord was nearby.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her emotions were complex: shy, anxious, and uneasy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen intended to be intimate with her in a much more comfortable environment, when they truly possessed each other, rather than here on the ship like some thieves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whether Purple Cloud Immortal Lord was watching was uncertain, but Yao Xiong was most certainly keeping an eye on them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Okay!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yao Xuanji, who had been somewhat impatient, felt her anxiety fade after hearing Lin Chen’s words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Yuexi was Lin Chen’s wife, no need to mention that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Purple Cloud Immortal Lord had a one-night stand with Lin Chen, and now they were going out together on the Heavenly Demon Continent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wasn’t that cohabitation?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who knew if anything would change after their journey, so she wanted to surrender herself to Lin Chen that very night, solidifying their relationship and easing her uneasiness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen, understanding her, comforted Yao Xuanji in a different way, alleviating her anxieties.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Lin Chen left Yao Xuanji’s room, Yao Xiong’s voice reached his ears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Kid, come down for a drink.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen rolled his eyes, Yao Xiong had called him out just as he left the room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If that wasn’t proof he was being watched, then what was?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thankfully, Lin Chen hadn’t done anything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wondered how Yao Xiong would react if he had.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen descended and made his way to a pavilion at the edge of the deck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yao Xiong sat in the pavilion alone, a few dishes and a bowl of peanut kernels on the table, accompanied by a pot of wine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The dishes hadn’t been touched, but half of the peanuts were gone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The cup was filled with wine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed Yao Xiong had been drinking quite some time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen took a seat opposite Yao Xiong and asked, “Uncle Yao, drinking alone?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yao Xiong looked at Lin Chen in a complex way, “Why didn’t you stay?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Being asked by a father why he didn’t sleep with his daughter made Lin Chen feel awkward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He managed to laugh off the embarrassment, “Uncle Yao, were you listening the whole time?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yao Xiong nonchalantly stated, “I listened to what I was supposed to hear and ignored what I wasn’t supposed to hear.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After pondering a bit, Lin Chen calmly replied, “The mood, the scene, the time…was not right.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yao Xiong nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The wine pot on the table filled an empty cup by itself, and the cup landed in front of Lin Chen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’re a man, drink!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen picked up the wine cup, took a sip, and finally gave in to his curiosity, “If I had stayed, would you, Uncle Yao, kick me off the ship?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yao Xiong shook his head, “I wouldn’t have stopped or interfered, however, I would have thought less of you.”\u003C\u002Fp>",846,"2026-06-06T01:52:18.624Z",1,"novelbin.me","17da9fdede58699649fab91476605770f4aadf912f2e5ca16f3821b75ac512c3","urban-peerless-expert-chapter-1898","urban-peerless-expert-chapter-1896",4071,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Furban-peerless-expert-cover.jpg"]
