Chapter 87 Meng Hongchen: *Sob*
"Xiao Ze, over here."
Meng Hongchen waved to Yun Ze, her pretty face slightly flushed. She strode with her slender legs to a room on the second floor.
Opening the door, Yun Ze followed.
His gaze swept inside, and he froze instantly.
Ah, this…
Why does it feel so familiar?
They'd just met, and he'd been brought to someone else's boudoir.
"Come in, what are you standing there for?" Seeing Yun Ze standing outside, Meng Hongchen said sweetly, grabbing his arm and leading him into her room.
After closing the door behind him, Yun Ze looked at the beautiful Meng Hongchen and touched his nose.
"Didn't you agree to my suggestion before?" Meng Hongchen said, pouting at Yun Ze's puzzled expression. "I forgot! Yesterday I asked if we could cultivate together, and you agreed."
Yun Ze nodded; it was true.
However, he hadn't expected Meng Hongchen to bring him here to cultivate together just a day later.
The progress is indeed quite fast.
"Isn't your brother home?" Yunze asked curiously, since he hadn't seen Xiao Hongchen since entering the villa.
Upon hearing this, Meng Hongchen couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle, "It's because you discouraged me yesterday, he ran off to the experimental zone early this morning."
Yunze, "..."
"Xiaoze." At this moment, Meng Hongchen suddenly called softly. Yunze looked over and saw Meng Hongchen beckoning to him, "Come and sit down."
As she spoke, Meng Hongchen gently patted the bed next to her.
Yunze didn't hesitate and went over to sit down next to Meng Hongchen.
The bed was very soft, and the whole room was filled with a faint fragrance of a young girl.
The atmosphere was slightly awkward as the young boy and girl shared a room.
After a moment, Yunze spoke first.
"Senior, can we start cultivating now?" he asked, looking at Meng Hongchen.
"Yes,"
Meng Hongchen nodded lightly.
"When I assist you in your cultivation later, you might feel a little uncomfortable at first, but you'll get used to it after a while. Senior, remember to be prepared," Yunze reminded Meng Hongchen before releasing his martial soul.
"I know,"
Yunze took a deep breath, calmed his mind, and activated the power of the Heavenly Snow Dragon Kirin.
In the Sun Moon Empire, Yunze planned to reveal the Heavenly Snow Dragon Kirin, which possessed soul rings, as his main martial soul to the world; his Cold Body was not yet ready to be exposed.
The Heavenly Snow Dragon Kirin was also of extreme ice, and it was the true form of a mythical beast from the far north, fused with the original power of the Soul Beast Master Silver Dragon King and the Beast God Emperor Tian.
In a sense, this martial soul was already equivalent to a god-level martial soul.
The temperature in the room suddenly dropped.
The temperature in Mingdu was just right, and Meng Hongchen was only wearing her school uniform dress, her calves completely exposed.
As the temperature dropped, she instantly felt a chill and shivered involuntarily.
Her delicate body trembled slightly, letting out a soft, coquettish "Ooh~"
Yun Ze, however, showed no change in expression. Instead, he controlled the output of ice element while helping Meng Hongchen quickly adapt to the environment.
In terms of Soul Master talent, Meng Hongchen was not weak; in fact, she could be considered a rare genius within the Sun Moon Empire, possessing exceptional talent as both a Soul Master and a Soul Master Instructor.
In terms of cultivation, Meng Hongchen was now stronger than Ling Luochen had been, and it took her less time to adapt.
After a while, Yun Ze clearly saw that Meng Hongchen's breathing became stable, and her previously slightly furrowed brows relaxed.
With this, Yun Ze no longer needed to do anything; he only needed to maintain the stability of the existing ice element. Then he got bored again.
"Being a tool is really tough," he muttered helplessly, his gaze shifting to Meng Hongchen's pretty face. Her
already fair and delicate skin now seemed to be covered in a layer of fine snow, giving Yunze a slightly unreal beauty.
Meng Hongchen's long, reddish-brown hair cascaded down one side of her shoulder, perfectly showcasing her jade-like neck.
While the girl's figure wasn't perfect, it was still very well-developed.
Especially her slender waist, which Yunze had never seen before.
Staring at Meng Hongchen, a series of thoughts flashed through Yunze's mind.
As he saw it, his relationship with Meng Hongchen was improving day by day. They
were probably only one opportunity away from truly becoming a couple.
With that, and with Jing Hongchen's tacit approval, he would have secured a connection with the eldest daughter of Mingde Hall, essentially stepping into the top circle of the second generation of Mingdu.
Next... it would be about developing his career in Mingdu.
Although Yunze intended to rely on Meng Hongchen to carry out his operations in Mingdu, it didn't mean he was merely using her as a tool.
Of course, it was impossible for Yunze to have fallen in love with Meng Hongchen so quickly.
However, Yunze was the kind of person who repaid kindness with kindness and vengeance with vengeance. Meng Hongchen was kind, good-natured, and beautiful; Yunze certainly didn't dislike her.
Developing a relationship while simultaneously making her an asset—why not?
However, taking things further would be far more difficult than his current actions suggested.
The core power of Mingdu was almost entirely controlled by the court, especially by the imperial family—the emperor's lineage, the crown prince's lineage, and the other princes' lines.
To secure enough soul tools to supply such a vast number of the far north, he needed the support of at least one of the imperial families.
This meant that once he chose one side, he would face threats from the other imperial families.
Threats? Yunze wasn't afraid.
The real headache was choosing whom and how to choose.
Firstly, given Yunze's status, the emperor's lineage is probably out of the question; they'd likely just use him as a tool and discard him.
As for Crown Prince Xu Tianran, he's ambitious and ruthless.
Initially, things might go smoothly, but the deeper one gets involved, the more unpredictable the risks become.
After all, this guy was even willing to give away his own wife.
He's undoubtedly a ruthless person.
The other princes, on the surface, don't have much of an advantage in the struggle for the throne.
However, Yunze possesses a huge secret about Xu Tianran, and it's this secret that could bring Xu Tianran down.
However, Yunze hasn't decided which prince to choose.
Besides the royal family, only the Hall of Offerings, led by Kong Deming, remains.
With Kong Deming's status, cooperating with the far north could yield considerable gains.
Moreover, by getting involved with Kong Deming, Yunze wouldn't have to worry about offending other forces.
However, this is extremely difficult.
"Sigh, this is so difficult for me~" Yunze rubbed his forehead, sighing, "Forget it, I'll think about it later."
