Riding Beast

"So this is Heavenly Basin Secret Realm. Looks like we're rather unlucky to arrive at the harsh winter season." Suddenly appearing from a portal, Ren walking leisurely while scanning the white world around him. People in a group teleported together at the same place, while each group teleported randomly.

This secret realm was the reason Blue Wind Ranking Tournament being held. The entrance portal opened once every few years and only Heavenly Sword Villa can detect it with unknown methods. And only can hold 50 peoples at once. So only the top 10 contestants are allowed to enter, and a maximum of 5 people from their sect.

Other than it was land filled with treasure and opportunity, everything remained as a mystery. No one ever found its end.

"The scenery isn't that much different from our sect." Xia Qingyue followed him from behind leisurely. Her eyes filled with curiosity.

"This place is an isolated dimension, but bigger many times compared with our Extreme Region of Ice. We only have two days of time to explore this place. So its better if we split and go separately." Arriving shortly, Chu Yuechan explained to them slightly. This is the third time she arrived at this place, so she knows more than them.

"But Senior Master, how should we split our team?" Lin Shuyin asking curiously while Lin Ruoxi listened attentively.

"It's an opportunity to train and temper yourselves. So Junior and Senior should go separately to not hinder each other. Lin Shuyin and Lin Ruoxi should go together. Qingyue, you are strong enough to travel alone. I would try to explore the deeper region with Ren." Chu Yuechan ordered them directly with a casual tone.

"..."

"..."

Hearing no response, Chu Yuechan looked at them puzzledly. Lin Shuyin and Lin Ruoxi staring at her intensely. Ren looked at her bemusedly. While Qingyue smiling lightly in understanding.

"W-What? This is the most logical decision. Said it directly if you disagree." Feeling uneasy, Chu Yuechan trying hard to hide her fluster.

"My dear, Chu Yuechan. I'm still in the younger generation based on my age. So it would be more appropriate that I go together with my wife while you're traveling alone." Ren replied teasingly.

Feeling shocked, Lin Shuyin and Lin Ruoxi remembered in understanding. Ren mysterious strength and high status made them nearly forget that he is at the same age as Xia Qingyue, a year younger than them. Looking at Ren, their eyes filled with worship.

"You dare to say that!? What do you mean that I'm old? And which one saying that don't want to bully the younger generation!?" Feeling agitated, icicles suddenly formed around her. Facing him every time, it's really hard for her to contain her emotion.

"Cough… Cough… That's not what I mean." Feeling embarrassed, Ren racking his brain trying to find a good explanation.

"Ren please apologize to Senior Sister. I agreed with Senior Sister's suggestion. It's a good time for me to train myself." Approaching Chu Yuechan, Qingyue looked at Ren with criticizing gaze. After hearing Qingyue's, Chu Yuechan finally regained her calm.

"Are you sure?" Ren looked at his wife helplessly.

"Don't worry. I'm strong enough to protect myself." Qingyue smiled to him reassuringly, while approaching him.

"I know. Good luck, tell me directly if something happens later." Hugging her tightly, he kissed her forehead gently. Qingyue enjoyed his affection greatly.

"Umm… Then see you later." Parting from his embrace, she looked at his reluctant face.

"Don't worry Brother-in-law. There's the great me, nothing would happen to my elder sister. Sis, how about we go together? It's been a long time. Let me show you my growth." Suddenly, a bulky figure suddenly appearing with a mischievous smirk. It's unknown how much time since he is there.

"Sure, let's go then." Agreeing directly, she waved at Yuanba with a joyful smile. Choosing a random path, her figure blurred and disappearing in the distance.

"Hehehe… See you later brother-in-law. Sis, wait for me." Laughing heartily, Yuanba chasing his sister figure speedily.

"That little rascal. Wait till I teach you latter." Rolling his eyes, Ren preparing to give Yuanba some small lesson.

"Then, Master. I will be off."

"See you later Master."

Bowing slightly, Lin Shuyin and Lin Ruoxi followed Qingyue's action and bidding goodbye. They choose the opposite direction from them.

"Please be careful." Nodding lightly, He sends them off with encouraging smile.

"Well then, should we go to? Hmm… Chu Yue?" Looking behind, he can see Chu Yuechan already walking alone toward the north. Ignoring his call. He can only chase her helplessly.

"Oi oi… Wait for me."

"..."

"Don't ignore me. Are you really mad?"

"..."

"Hey… I'm sorry alright? Let's go together."

"Don't talk to me." Maintaining her cold expression, she increased her speed, she left him behind. Looking at her from behind helplessly he was struck speechless.

Suddenly an idea flashing on his mind, a smirk appeared on his face. Biting his thumb, he smears his blood on his left palm. Gathering energy on his left hand, he presses his five fingers to the ground. Suddenly, strange marks appeared on the ground, expanding outward.

"Summoning Technique!"

*POFF*

Suddenly smokescreen exploded, hiding a huge shadow inside. After the smoke vanished, what appeared was a huge black moose with three meters in height. It was covered in strange cloth and a saddle put on it.

"Ren my child, why did you summon this old bone? Let me tell you that, I'm already too old to join your reckless endeavor." Suddenly it speaks towards Ren grumpily.

"Yo Old Moore, it's been a long time. You're still healthy and strong as always. How about accompanying me raid some beast den the next time?" Looking at this old moose, his mood turned joyful. Old Moore was his reliable partner and his first contract when he learned summoning art in the past.

"Bwahh! You brat, don't ever think to. My lifespan would be cut short every time you call me. My hotblooded son is more eager to accompany you."

"Hahaha… Don't worry. This time I just need I ride."

"Hmmm… If it's only that, then no problem. Haahhh sure sure. Go up then." He can only relent helplessly.

"Wait, you go first that way. I need to fetch up someone, so you can go slowly." Ren said while pointing to the north. He can still see Chu Yuechan distance figure.

"Ahhh… so that's it. What a beautiful woman, no wonder. Hehehe… you brat, your eyes are better than me. Should we move in a circle?"

"Nahh… you don't need to. This place is so vast, and the majority of the beast here were slumbering in hibernation."

"Hehehe… Don't worry, I know what to do." Suddenly his figure charged directly into a blur, bulldozing everything in its path. His speed is unfathomable for its size.

"Just keep your mouth shut." Smiling happily, Ren turned into a streak of lightning, chasing Chu Yuechan figure in the blink of an eye.

When Chu Yuechan noticed something a miss, it was too late. Ren appeared behind her. Not giving her any chance to react, he holds her body in a princess carry and then jumping directly on the Old Moore back. In the time Chu Yuechan realized what happened, she is already in Ren's embrace, riding a strange black profound beast.

"You! What are you doing! Let lose me." Looking at Ren angrily, she tried to get out of his hold. Even after trashing around wildly, it was proved to be futile.

"Giving you a ride. It's better than walking around tirelessly. More comfortable too." Smirking toward her, he holds her waist closer. Noticing their action, Old Moore slowed down his charge to a jog. Skillfully maneuvering and evading all kinds of obstacles.

"You pervert! I don't need it, put me down right now." Feeling not good premonition, she tried harder to escape his clutch. Either because of anger or shame, blush slowly covered her face.

"Don't wanna. No matter what you do is futile. Just enjoy this journey and hold on to me." He looked at her smugly.

"If you don't release me I will freeze you to death!"

"Hehhh… You can try then, as long you're ready for the consequence." His hand suddenly moving, trying to roam on her body.

"Iyaa!!! Y-You! Bastard! W-What do you want!?" Shocked, her body shuddered greatly. She can feel his intention clearly. While countless thoughts filled her mind, her eyes turned moist.

Lifting her chin to face him, he brings their face together until their forehead touching each other. After looking at each other in silence for a long time, he whispered in her ear.

"You. Hold me." He speaks gently and clearly. This time, he wants to be honest.

Hearing his voice, her mind turned blank and her body becomes tender. Closing her eyes, she can feel her heartbeat beating like a drum, trying to burst from emotion. Finally, she chooses acceptance.

"Umm." She answered absentmindedly. Hugging him back, she brought their body closer, tightening her hold. She can feel their heartbeat synchronizing, and her body melted in his embrace.

'This brat has a good prospect. I'm not teaching him in vain.' Old Moore thought proudly, even though it has nothing to do with him. They continued their journey in silence.
