heart directly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You can deceive her, but can you lie to your own heart, can you deceive the Heavenly Dao?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But after answering, which direction would this take?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen was silent for a moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking into Nalan Wushuang’s bright and beautiful eyes, he still couldn’t bring himself to lie or to say anything harsh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Of course, I like you.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, I wouldn’t have saved you multiple times, nor would we have spent so much time together in the Central Divine State…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s just that…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nalan Wushuang interrupted Lin Chen with a smile, “You don’t need to say ‘it’s just’, I understand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Don’t worry, I just wanted to know your feelings towards me, I didn’t mean to make things hard for you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nalan Wushuang glanced around the room with a slight smile, “My door is always open to you.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If you wish to come, come.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If you wish to stay, stay.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen was left speechless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nalan Wushuang was born with an Innate Dao Body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was once the Holy Maiden of the demon race, and now she is a True Inheritance Disciple of the most powerful faction within the demon race, the Heavenly Fox Palace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her future is limitless and she has many suitors, yet her affections lie with a married man like him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She even went as far as to say that…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And didn’t her words imply that he could stay in her chamber whenever he wished, have her, and she wouldn’t cause any trouble for him or make any demands?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen couldn’t do such a thing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen wouldn’t consider himself a virtuous man, but he also didn’t want to tarnish a woman’s innocence when he couldn’t give any commitment or companionship.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if the sentiment was mutual, Lin Chen was unwilling to act on it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn’t that he was being hypocritical, but it was one of the few lines he wouldn’t cross.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, who wouldn’t want to sleep with such a beautiful woman of such high status?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen agreed without much hesitation, for the more he tried to clarify, the messier it would get.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While he did agree to it, he didn’t intend to act upon it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two of them casually talked about other things, from matters of the world to trivial affairs, and continued talking in a relaxed and cheerful atmosphere until nightfall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Lin Chen got up to leave, Nalan Wushuang didn’t try to hold him back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She generously escorted him out of the room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only after Lin Chen’s figure had completely vanished did Nalan Wushuang look in the direction that he had disappeared for a long while.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She then turned around, lightly kicked a small stone on the road, and murmured under her breath, “Coward!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why didn’t you stay the night?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen was slightly panicked in his heart, but his expression remained calm, “Why would I stay the night there?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We’re just friends, really!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Purple Cloud Immortal Lord gave Lin Chen a white-eyed look, “Are you trying to fool a ghost?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nalan Wushuang can barely take her eyes off you.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A man and a woman alone in a room, both parties have feelings for each other, yet nothing happened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it weren’t for the fact that you’re my man, I’d even doubt whether you’re capable of it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen scoffed, “Exactly!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As your man, am I not capable?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Try resisting if you have the courage.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Purple Cloud Immortal Lord, as someone who had experienced it all, naturally wouldn’t be shy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She chuckled, “Really?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if I beg for mercy, it would only be after a long while, I can always continue the fight, can you keep it up?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen was speechless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What’s the saying?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There are only cows that were worked to death, never farmland that was plowed bad?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cultivators could precisely control their bodies, and they could guess how much pleasure a man would feel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Keeping up for a short while would be fine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But to keep it up continuously, bear with it continuously, how could he bear it?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He simply couldn’t afford it, truly, he couldn’t!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All Lin Chen could do was answer seriously, “Yes, I admit that there are feelings between us.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But isn’t it great being friends?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s not like men and women must sleep together to have real feelings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if we’re just intimate friends, that’s pretty good too.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Purple Cloud Immortal Lord laughed softly, “Is there pure friendship between men and women?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen responded, “Perhaps it isn’t so chaste, but it doesn’t have to be that dirty either, right?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Purple Cloud Immortal Lord laughed, “Alright, whatever makes you happy!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen asked curiously, “I thought I was your man?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What kind of woman pushes her man towards another woman?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aren’t you jealous?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Purple Cloud Immortal Lord laughed, “I was originally an assassin, I don’t have any friends.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now that I have you, it wouldn’t hurt to have a few more sisters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’ve never felt the need to monopolize you, what difference does it make if there’s one more or one less?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Besides, as an assassin, to accomplish my mission, there are times when I have to risk my life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’m willing to even stake my life, would I care about little things like this?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The path of immortality is long.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You can’t always be by my side and I can’t always be by yours.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, do whatever you like, as long as you’re happy.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen was silent for a moment, then said softly, “I was just talking about this with Yue Yue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once we advance to the Da Luo stage, or when someone advances to the Da Luo stage, and has the ability to stand in the High-ranked Immortal Realm, we’ll all move there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We’ll establish a Cave Mansion or a force, and everyone will gather there, without having to part ways.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“From the Barren Wilderness to the Thunder Immortal Domain, due to our cultivation we often have to part ways.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If there’s any danger, we may not even know about it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if we want to help, it’s simply beyond our reach.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If we live together, this won’t be a problem.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So, as for the techniques for cultivation and the resources, we have the time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We can slowly gather them and support each other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We don’t have to join different sects to be targeted or manipulated by others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We can just be free cultivators.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Purple Cloud Immortal Lord had a surprised look on her face, “Is that what you guys have planned?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen nodded, “That’s my idea, and Yue Yue agreed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, every couple in love, if they could be together, wouldn’t want to part.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Purple Cloud Immortal Lord was silent for a bit, “If that’s the case, it wouldn’t be a bad idea.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen was surprised when he heard that the Purple Cloud Immortal Lord agreed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because of her exceptional strength, the Purple Cloud Immortal Lord held an extraordinary position.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, her age also played a part.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though she was a newcomer, she was able to make Yao Xuanji and Gu Yuexi call her ‘elder sister’ with great confidence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, the main ingredients for the Nine-Turn Da Luo Pill were about to be collected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If all went well, the Purple Cloud Immortal Lord would be the first among their group to achieve the rank of Da Luo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If she decided to stay with them, it would naturally increase their strength and provide a greater sense of security.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Really?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then it’s a deal, right?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Purple Cloud Immortal Lord nodded, “Having a definite place to settle, who wouldn’t want that?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s always better than wandering in the world, with no place like home.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When you have a home, you can always return there no matter how long you’ve been away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s comforting.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen laughed, “That’s exactly what I was thinking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though we’re together, we can support each other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But we also respect each other’s freedom in cultivation and travel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s like…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>like a loving family.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Purple Cloud Immortal Lord’s lips lifted slightly, and her smile became more flirtatious, “And then you get to be a negligent monarch, and share a bed with everyone?”\u003C\u002Fp>",1382,"2026-06-06T01:52:20.520Z",1,"novelbin.me","c2803b2a58fbfcba51edc76a83279c23d0590a87e6944ecff0d6f538e1f79805","urban-peerless-expert-chapter-1942","urban-peerless-expert-chapter-1940",4071,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Furban-peerless-expert-cover.jpg"]
