A Flashback Three Years Ago.
After Shen Xiang had a conflict with the High Heaven Pavilion, the situation there became increasingly unfavorable for anyone seeking peace.
Su Yan, a talented girl with a resolute personality, decided to move to Black Wind Market to find tranquility.
However, her decision brought about an unexpected new chapter in her life.
Su Mu, upon learning that his elder sister had moved to Black Wind Market, decided to visit her. Su Mu's arrival, Su Yan's younger brother, turned into a disaster for Shen Xiang.
Su Mu carelessly entered the wrong house, which happened to be Shen Xiang's, while he was deeply focused on refining pills. At the time, Shen Xiang was in a critical stage of purifying a high-grade Heaven-level pill.
Su Mu's intrusion broke Shen Xiang's concentration. As a result, the pill furnace exploded, and Shen Xiang lost a precious Heaven-level herb.
Furious, Shen Xiang decided to teach Su Mu a lesson. The boy was beaten black and blue. But Shen Xiang didn't stop there. As an additional punishment, he hung Su Mu from a tree, leaving him in only his underwear.
The following day, this scene caught the attention of everyone in Black Wind Market.
Seeing her brother humiliated and beaten, Su Yan, full of anger, stormed into Shen Xiang's house, wielding a sword. She demanded accountability.
However, her timing was poor. At that moment, Shen Xiang had just finished bathing. As Su Yan hurriedly entered, the towel Shen Xiang was wearing fell, revealing something that left Su Yan speechless.
Realizing the situation, Shen Xiang immediately shouted, "Help! A woman is trying to assault me!"
His cry for help drew a crowd. Many people gathered, only to witness a bizarre scene: Shen Xiang sitting on the floor, covering himself with a towel, while Su Yan stood frozen, her eyes fixed on what she had just seen.
Since that day, Su Yan came to Shen Xiang's house every day to challenge him. However, she learned not to barge in directly to avoid further misunderstandings.
Unfortunately, Shen Xiang was too lazy to deal with the challenges of a girl whose emotions often fluctuated. He left the task to Xia Ning Chang, a woman close to him.
Xia Ning Chang had a different approach.
Instead of entertaining Su Yan's challenges, she invited her in for tea and conversation. Within days, the two became good friends.
However, Su Yan's main reason for coming wasn't just Xia Ning Chang. It was because she could meet Shen Xiang and savor his famous delicious cooking.
Awkward Moments and Growing Closeness
Despite her frequent visits, Su Yan felt upset because Shen Xiang always ignored her. One night, during dinner with Xia Ning Chang and Shen Xiang, Su Yan said with high fighting spirit, "Big Brother Shen, I challenge you tonight."
Her words almost made Shen Xiang choke to death.
"Hehehe..." Xia Ning Chang just laughed at their interaction. She didn't mind sharing Shen Xiang with another woman because she knew how "big" his "younger brother" was.
Although she hadn't experienced it herself, she knew Big Brother Shen had a large appetite because he once told her he possessed the Primordial Yang Body, meaning he was destined to have many women.
"Su Yan, can you repeat what you just said?" Shen Xiang looked at Su Yan with a flat expression.
"Big Brother Shen, I challenge you tonight." After finishing her sentence, Su Yan finally realized that her words were too ambiguous, which made her face flush with embarrassment.
"Since you've seen me naked, you should take responsibility and marry me in the future." Initially, Shen Xiang intended to tease Su Yan, but her response left him speechless.
"Alright, I will marry you." Su Yan tried to say this with a cold expression, but the pink blush on her cheeks could not be hidden.
Although they initially clashed, their growing closeness brought many unexpected moments. Shen Xiang often invited Su Yan on dates to quiet places. There, they talked at length about life, dreams, and their goals.
For Su Yan, Shen Xiang was not just a man of extraordinary talent but also someone who made her feel at ease. For Shen Xiang, Su Yan was a woman full of passion and determination.
Their relationship, which initially started with conflict, gradually transformed into one of mutual respect and affection.
This flashback to three years ago marks the beginning of Shen Xiang and Su Yan's relationship. A bond that started with misunderstandings and conflict but ended with mutual appreciation and affection.
As time went on, their relationship continued to grow, and the two became inseparable partners, despite the challenges in the world around them.
