In the original timeline, Nalan Yanran's method of breaking off her engagement had been far too dramatic, drawing excessive hatred from Xiao Yan.
Ye Chen had no desire to provoke Xiao Yan, the fated child of the world.
Even with his system, respect was due. After all, both he and Xiao Yan were travelers from another world....almost like countrymen.
In this situation, Ye Chen wanted to avoid unnecessary conflict.
He could grow stronger simply by producing children with his Multiplying Blessings System, so clashing with Xiao Yan would only hinder his development.
Yet, having taken another man's fiancée, avoiding offense entirely was nearly impossible.
So, he decided to approach it gently...taking Nalan Yanran's place and personally going to Xiao's family in Wutan City to dissolve the engagement.
Though he couldn't guarantee zero hostility, at least it wouldn't escalate to "three-year vow" or "sect annihilation" levels.
"Mm," Nalan Yanran whispered. Seeing him care so much for her, her heart swelled with happiness.
But worry lingered. "Senior Brother… what if he refuses?"
"No problem. I'll handle it," Ye Chen said with a faint smile. "Just wait for my good news."
"Mm… Senior Brother, you're truly amazing!"
Feeling the warmth of Ye Chen's embrace, Nalan Yanran melted into his chest, wrapped in the comfort of his arms.
"Junior Sister… now that you are mine, your matters are mine too," Ye Chen murmured, a subtle edge of authority in his tone.
"No matter what comes your way, whenever, wherever…"
"I'll always stand behind you, support you, protect you!"
At that moment, Nalan Yanran felt she was floating in an ocean of love, wrapped entirely in bliss.
"Senior Brother… love me once more…" she whispered.
The next morning.
Ye Chen reluctantly slipped out of Nalan Yanran's warm embrace.
Being late for Yun Yun's training would bring another scolding, so he hurried to the back mountain.
As expected, Yun Yun was already waiting in a small grove.
"Teacher," he greeted respectfully.
Yun Yun remained clad in flowing white robes.
Her three-thousand strands of jet-black hair were arranged in a phoenix-style updo, radiating elegance and an unspoken nobility.
Her serene beauty, like a hidden spring in the mountains, commanded respect while stirring a subtle admiration in the heart.
Teacher grows more alluring every day, Ye Chen thought, suppressing a shiver of desire.
Yun Yun's gaze swept over him. "Begin."
"Yes, Teacher."
With that, Ye Chen drew his spear from his personal storage ring and began to train in front of her.
He practiced the Advanced Xuan Stage Battle Technique....Thunderclap Spear Method.
The spear flashed like lightning, leaving afterimages, accompanied by crackling sounds of explosive force.
Psh! Psh! Psh!
After a short while, Ye Chen stopped and bowed.
"Not bad. Your spear technique has improved significantly since last time."
Though Yun Yun rarely used a spear herself, her Battle Emperor insight allowed her to guide a nine-star battle practitioner effortlessly.
Satisfied with a few words of praise, she allowed Ye Chen to leave the back mountain.
The moon hung high over Yunlan Sect, its silver light quietly spilling over the rooftops like a veil of silk. The mountains were silent, save for the occasional rustle of leaves stirred by the evening breeze.
Ye Chen stood beneath a pine tree near the edge of the female disciples' courtyard, hidden in the shadows.
His heartbeat was steady, but his eyes showed a rare trace of nervousness.
He shouldn't be here.
This part of the sect was off-limits to male disciples. If anyone caught him, even with his status, there would be consequences.
But he didn't care.
Not tonight.
From a second-floor window, a small lantern flickered gently.
That was the signal.
A moment later, the window creaked open, and a familiar figure leaned out Nalan Yanran.
Her long hair was unbound, falling like silk over her shoulders. She wore a light robe, pale blue, fluttering slightly in the wind.
Her eyes met his in the dark.
She smiled.
Moments later, she had slipped out quietly, barefoot on the grass, and ran into his arms like water finding its river.
"Brother… you came," she whispered.
Ye Chen held her tightly, breathing in the soft fragrance of her hair. "I said I would, didn't I?"
"But… what if someone sees us?" she murmured, voice trembling with excitement more than fear.
"They won't," he said simply. "And even if they do, I'll take the blame."
Nalan Yanran didn't answer. Instead, she reached for his hand, her fingers trembling slightly as she led him back through the quiet courtyard. This time, she didn't hesitate.
Inside her room, the lantern cast a warm golden light.
Everything was as it had been the first time except now, the shyness in her eyes had been replaced by something else.
Trust.
Desire.
Love.
She turned to face him, fingers reaching up to touch the collar of his robe. "You were gentle last time…"
Ye Chen smiled faintly, brushing her cheek with his knuckles. "I'll always be gentle with you."
