After that incident with Xinyi, even though Jian Shen failed to properly talk with her he was filled with happiness from understanding what everything that happened on that day meant.
Therefore, even though he didn't manage to talk to her again, Jian Shen didn't think too much about it and left the World Crest to leave her alone like she asked for.
Cultivating and flirting with Zheng Niu, that's how Jian Shen spent the rest of his days until the luxury cruise finally reached the Sword Island.
Of course, there were those days where he had sex with all of his women like Juewang, Wuying, Yu Yan and so on. But such things didn't need to be spoken right?
After all, being the hedonist that he was, would Jian Shen go for such a long time without having any sex?
Stopping at the Sword Island, Jian Shen and Zheng Niu were the only ones standing on the deck while the others were excitedly entering the island.
"You haven't forgotten, right?"
Nodding his head with a smile, Jian Shen said, "I'll meet your parents and ask for your hand in marriage."
"And mine too!"
Speaking to Jian Shen through the World Crest, Wuying sounded very annoyed at him for some reason.
Maybe because he was going to meet Zheng Niu's parents first?
Either way, Jian Shen said, 'I'll meet your father and ask for your hand in marriage as well.'
"Good. Because father is most likely somewhere on this island."
'Huh?'
"As someone who owns the best merchant association in the Wu Yun Continent, how could he not come to the Sword Island when the Sword World is soon going to open?"
Not saying anything else, Jian Shen had made up his mind to meet both of their parents to make them feel good when Xiulan suddenly spoke up, "Jian Shen?"
'Please don't tell me I have to meet your parents as well.'
Chuckling a little, Xiulan said, "You can't meet them even if you want to. I just wanted to ask if I could come outside because I've never been to the Sword Island."
Nodding his head and controlling the World Crest to bring Xiulan outside, Jian Shen looked towards the woman with a smile.
Looking towards Jian Shen, Xiulan sighed and said, "Since the moment I saw you, flowers just no longer look pretty to me, Jian Shen."
"I could say the same to you. You are too beautiful to even compare your appearance with a flower."
Letting out a fake cough, Zheng Niu said, "I'd appreciate it if you didn't start flirting with other women when in front of my parents."
Laughing and not saying anything, Jian Shen wrapped his two hands around the waists of the two women and pulled them close to him.
While Xiulan didn't mind it and rested her head on his shoulders, Zheng Niu however snorted and said, "You should keep a hold on your desires until you obtain my parents' permission."
'Parents this, parents that, how come she doesn't say anything else?'
Jian Shen when he thought about those words didn't expect how much she would change after the moment her parents gave him their permission.
From then onwards it was no longer parents this or that, but instead husband this and husband that due to how much attention she placed towards him.
But that was all for later, ignoring Zheng Niu's words and pulling her into his embrace, Jian Shen said, "Any woman that I think of as my own, is destined to become mine."
Cutely snorting, Zheng Niu didn't say anything else and walked out of the boat with Jian Shen while Yan Bo glared at the trio with an anxious, jealous, and envious look.
'Hugging another man while engaged to me? Humph! I'll make sure to let your parents know of this.'
Flying away to find Zheng Niu's parents as soon as possible and tattle on what her daughter was doing, Yan Bo had to roam the entire Sword Island before finally finding out where they were.
But when he finally managed to do so, he saw something which completely crushed his hopes of being able to marry Zheng Niu anymore or even bother talking to her parents.
Walking onto the island, Jian Shen saw many beautiful women roaming in groups and finding men who came down from the boats or flew here.
Once they surrounded a man, they'd almost literally drag him away to god knows where.
"Those women are trying to make the men buy a room in the hotel they are representing. You're lucky that we are here with you due to which they aren't trying anything funny with you."
"Lucky?"
Stopping there Jian Shen didn't say anything else causing the two women to giggle a little.
The Sword Island was much bigger than Jian Shen expected but not as big as he hoped for.
Covering only an area of twenty times of that of the capital city of the then Yueliang Kingdom, the island wasn't the biggest one that Jian Shen had seen for.
But for a place which only allowed the most elite cultivators in the entire Mortal Realm to enter and stay inside it, the size of the island was indeed very big.
With Sage and Saint Realm Cultivators found practically everywhere Jian Shen looked at, he soon didn't feel surprised from spotting the occasional Genesis Realm Cultivators who were walking on the same streets.
