The loud sound rang inside the cave as Tian Xuan slapped Long Zhang and huffed in anger. However, the man's cheek remains fair in color while Tian Xuan's hand is the one that turned red.
He stomped his feet and changed his clothes into a new pair of white robe as he muttered in complaints. "That is all you are thinking about… Who the heck is going to believe you that it won't hurt."
Long Zhang scratched the place where Tian Xuan slapped him and chuckled as it is only ticklish. He is after all much stronger than Tian Xuan and naturally, his skin is tougher as tough as the pure metal.
He has lived in the human world for a long time so he knew that Tian Xuan is angry at the moment and knew the reason for him being angry.
Even though he knew that Tian Xuan is a plant type spirit and supposedly, the plant can reproduce themselves in a different way from the human. Tian Xuan is a male, nevertheless.
He could see that Tian Xuan also acted more human-like than the demonic beast that turned into a human.
In the human world, although there are many bent people, the one that takes the woman role always confessed that it is painful for their first time.
He walk out of the lake and hugged Tian Xuan's waist.
"Listen. I could have just taken back my soul but I didn't because there is another way to solve the matter. As long as you give me a child, I will grant you anything you wish."
Tian Xuan pursed his lips and sighed.
He could think maturely about the pros and the cons of fighting with someone who is stronger than him when he has nothing to rely on except his cultivation strength and movement technique.
He dodged his head upward and stares at Long Zhang silently.
After a long moment of silence, he finally spoke.
"I'm still too small, can't you see?"
Long Zhang scanned the silver-haired boy and smiled as he nodded his head lightly. As they confronted each other Long Zhang has to look down to meet the boy's eyes. He is two head and a half taller than Tian Xuan so it is to be expected.
"Yes, you look no older than ten years old boy but you have lived more than fifty years when you were a grass."
Tian Xuan frowned as he was speechless over what Long Zhang just said.
'Although that is also true… that's not the point isn't it?'
Long Zhang smirked as he could read what Tian Xuan think inside of his mind. He patted the boy's head and explained. His eyes flashed a glint of white light before it faded away as if it was never there.
If the system is around, surely it will notify the host that a spell has been put on him.
"I didn't mean it to be right away. However, since you bring that topic, that's mean you have no excuse any longer when you reached sixteen years old."
Tian Xuan almost bit his tongue as he stammered. "W-why sixteen years old?"
"Humans marry when they are reached sixteen years old. Sixteen years old is adult enough for a human."
Tian Xuan wanted to rebuke the man but he couldn't think of any word to refute the man's logic.
Long Zhang wears his clothes back and hugged Tian Xuan in princess carry pose.
"W-what are you doing?"
"Inside here is the dimension inside me. The spiritual lake you entered just now, I stole it from a sect and made it my own. You have regained your energy, right? So, we should leave."
Long Zhang answered every question Tian Xuan has in his mind before the boy even asked about it.
As if cat caught his tongue, Tian Xuan was turned speechless as he hugged the man's neck tightly.
Almost immediately after Long Zhang said that, the scene changed into inside the cave that they were at before entering the Long Zhang's dimension.
A painting and a grass is a soul mate… Tian Xuan felt like it was a joke but he couldn't bring himself to laugh at the joke.
Suddenly, Tian Qiu shouted in the small world and Tian Xuan consoled it by saying that he is alright. Long Zhang watched as Tian Xuan closed his eyes and could feel that the boy is communicating with other person but he doesn't know how they communicate.
He held the boy in his arms and leaves the cave. He retracted his aura and let Tian Xuan down to walk by himself.
"I will follow wherever you go from now on." Long Zhang held Tian Xuan's hand and told the boy his intention.
Tian Xuan looked at the huge warm hand that holding him and sighed. "… Call me Lord Tian like the others."
"Your full name?"
"Tian Xuan."
"Alright, I will call you Xuan Er from now on. Wait here, I will summon my subordinate to let them know that my current location. The palace will be alarmed if I don't tell them my situation."
Tian Xuan wanted to say something about the nickname that Long Zhang created but decided not to bother with it. It will be better if he explained it straight away to other people that Long Zhang is his… uh… soul mate? Yeah, better that way.
People have basic knowledge of what soul mate is so it is better to say it without shame.
The people will only be shocked for a moment but won't last for too long. It will be better to tell them earlier than wait for them to ask him. If it is kept as a secret, it will be more embarrassing to tell later.
Long Zhang flicked his finger and the space tears open the void. A man with a plain face wearing full golden armor comes out from the void and knelt before Long Zhang.
"Lord." The man cupped his fists and greeted the man standing in front of him. Although he is curious about the silver-haired kid wearing the white robe that has a divine aura circulating around him, he doesn't ask as the Lord will decide whether to tell or not.
"En." Long Zhang replied nonchalantly.
The man in golden armor waited for the lord to speak as he kept steals a glance at the divine kid. The more he looks at him, the more he felt that the kid is powerful.
He is already an immortal yet he feels dread creeping up to his body when he failed to figure out the kid real strength and was overwhelmed by the celestial aura that emitted out from the silver-haired boy.
Then, he heard his lord's voice and was freed from being paralyzed in fear.
"Tell the other that I will be away for few years. I'm on a journey with my wife." Long Zhang said and pulled Tian Xuan closer to him and hugged the silver-haired boy. He knew that Tian Xuan has the ability to bewitch the others into fearing him so he immediately freed his subordinate from the bewitchment.
He is thinking inwardly while smirking at Tian Xuan. 'This won't do, wifey. The only one that you need to bewitch should be me and no one else.'
Clueless to what Long Zhang said in his mind, Tian Xuan's jaw dropped as his eyes bulging out of the socket looking at Long Zhang that able to shamelessly introduce Tian Xuan as his wife even though the other party is his (LZ) subordinate.
"Alright, go. I wanted to spend more time with my wife." Long Zhang waved his hand and excused the armored man.
Hearing the word 'wife' one more time, Tian Xuan immediately jumped and slapped Long Zhang.
"Who is your wife!!"
PANG!
