Dao Protector

The next few days was relatively normal, apart from his usual Qi cultivation and spending time with Yunzi nothing happened.

As for going to the dining hall, Zhan Shenwei still went, at first Xia Yunzi said they shouldn't go, that going to the dining hall after disgracing the Bai Clan was clearly antagonizing them.

The truth was they could do without going, Xia Yunzi had a lot of things including food supplies in her storage ring, even Zhan Shenwei still had jars of vital broth in his, yet Zhan Shenwei insisted they go.

Was that a joke, after discovering monster meat could speed up his body cultivation he even planned on going to the dining hall everyday, although it wasn't everytime a sea monster happened to cross by the spirit boat, he couldn't risk missing.

Everytime there happened to be monster meat in the dining hall, Zhan Shenwei would pill a lot on his plate, for the others although the monster meat had an effect of nourishing the body it wasn't really pleasing to the sight nor that palatable and they couldn't even digest much, so they just took little.

But for Zhan Shenwei if not for the fact that he didn't want to seem like a wild animal he would finish everything.

Concerning his eating habit Zhan Shenwei had decided he would only leave it at the border of a bit gluttonous, he wouldn't be too excessive.

Forget the fact that even he felt shame from being stared at if he was too excessive with his eating, no one liked chewing and chewing for long, it wasn't an interesting thing to do.

As for antagonizing the Bai Clan, Zhan Shenwei didn't care, what bullshit Bai Clan, the Bai Clan already hated him, would it even matter if they hated him more.

A month had passed since the issue in the dining hall and as Zhan Shenwei walked back to his room from the dining hall he thought of something.

Recently there had always been monster meat in the dining hall, at first it was once in a while but now it was everyday.

Zhan Shenwei didn't think it was a coincidence, after all nobody really liked monster meat and now it was appearing regularly.

Just from the fact that Shang Jing could send her forces on time to help him when he had issues with the Bai Clan, he knew she had a way monitoring the dining hall.

She had probably noticed he payed attention to monster meat and even if she didn't why she still made sure he had a lot of monster meat to eat .

She was really intelligent and observant, he had even started to find the lady Jing Mei very pleasing to the eye, she really knew how to cajole him.

He was even planning on visiting and after escorting Xia Yunzi to her room, he went to the stairs that lead the top floor.

The guards at the top floor were at first surprised at Zhan Shenwei's arrival as the top floor was off bounds for passengers but after showing them the name plate although still surprised, one of guard had a maid take Zhan Shenwei to Shang Jing's suite.

The maid first entered the suite before coming out back and entering with Zhan Wei.

The suite was very big and luxurious, Zhan Wei sighed at the wealth of the treasure pavilion, it should be expected just the fare for one person was a million low grade spirit stones and there were hundreds of passengers on the spirit boat, neglecting the fact that this wasn't the only spirit boat the treasure pavilion had and they still had other sources of income, it was normal for the treasure pavilion to be extremely wealthy.

The maid brought Zhan Shenwei to a large sitting room then left.

Zhan Shenwei looked around, the room gave off a dark mysterious vibe yet it was still pleasing and beautiful.

Soft music played in the background as Shang Jing Mei laid lazily on a silk couch, beside her was a table with all sorts of spirit fruits on top.

Zhan Shenwei looked at Wang Jing in amusement, although Jing Mei was very beautiful, her most defining quality to Zhan Shenwei was aura.

She just gave off a very sultry and sensual aura, it wasn't like she did anything, but every of her movement, posture, attitude was just seductive and intoxicating, this aura feeling was simply ingrained in her naturally.

He couldn't discern how or why.

Looking at her Zhan Shenwei felt a bit of closeness to Jing Mei, it wasn't because she was beautiful or anything.

But because he could just feel a bit of himself in Shang Jing Mei, their characters was different and he couldn't describe it but he felt they were similar somehow.

Shang Jing smiled as she felt Zhan Shenwei look at her, his gaze scanning every bit of her body yet she wasn't uncomfortable with his look.

She felt like she could see his thoughts in the eyes, Pure wasn't the way to describe his gaze yet it was true, transparent.

He looked at her directly as his eyes moved through every part of her body.

She could feel curiosity, interest and attraction in those eyes.

Shang Jing Mei smiled as she thought in her heart, " What a charming fellow! ".

To Shang Jing Mei, Zhan Wei was very handsome yet it wasn't his face that actually caught her interest.

As someone who sought the Dao, how could Shang Jing be moved by just beauty.

Sure, maybe others liked it, and nothing wrong, but not her, yet she felt her heart stir as she gazed at those eyes.

The truth was with just a slap of her palm she could turn Zhan Shenwei into a bloody paste.

She knew it and she knew he knew it, yet his confidence, calmness as he gazed at her was very "dominating ".

if Shang Jing knew what was going through Zhan Shenwei's mind about how he felt they were similar, she would probably say if Zhan Shenwei felt she had a seductive aura ingrained in her, then Zhan Shenwei had a dominating aura ingrained in him.

He didn't need to do anything still he influenced his will on others.

He wasn't a tyrant nor was he imposing, he just had to show how he felt and anyone around would be drawn to him, towards his emotions and his will.

he just had that magnetic effect around him, he was simply very charismatic.

Wang Jing knew the reason why no one really noticed this side of Zhan Shenwei was because he was very indifferent.

Nothing really interested him, it wasn't like he was cold or anything, he just wasn't bothered by most things.

She had been on the spirit boat with Zhan Shenwei for months and had watched him from afar, yet the only time she had really felt any form of emotion from him was when Xia Yunzi was insulted.

Maybe a bit of joy whenever he saw monster meat was available in the dining hall.

Others wouldn't notice it, but as someone who watched him closely with attention Shang Jing could see it.

After a while she became so addicted to seeing that bit of emotion that she made sure there was monster meat in the dining hall on Zhan Shenwei's floor.

If it wasn't much then she would make sure only Zhan Shenwei's dining hall had it, if there wasn't any she would make Mang Jin search around for some sea monsters.

Sea monsters were relatively scarce to begin with so it wasn't everytime Mang Jin saw one but thankfully their size was large.

And with a bit of rationing she could make sure there was always monster meat regular for Zhan Shenwei.

Of course it also helped that most people didn't really eat monster meat.

For someone who enjoyed spirit fruits and wine, Wang Jing felt Zhan Shenwei was like a very sweet nectar one she couldn't seem to get enough of, one she wanted more off.

like now, to Jing Mei just the fact that the very indifferent Zhan Wei could look at her with emotions in his eyes, it made her feel so excited.

Shang Jing felt all her efforts was worth it.

She had first started paying attention to Zhan Wei when he had caused a cloud of vital essence above the treasure pavilion in the Great Xia empire.

from then it was curiousity when he bought the blood essence of the blood demon king and since then she had being paying attention to Zhan Shenwei to see if he was a genius worth befriending or investing in.

Even when she had interfered back then it was simply because she felt Zhan Shenwei was a rare genius for evolving his blood demon bloodline to atavism in an extremely short period of time and could be worth befriending.

But now that wasn't what really mattered to Shang Jing, now in a way she felt something else, something more.

Desire !

With a smile still on her face Shang Jing said to Zhan Shenwei, " Aren't you going to sit ".

Zhan Shenwei looked around, although the room was big and well furnished, the only thing he could find to seat on was another silk couch beside Shang Jing's.

Silk couches, lazy furniture for a lazy feline girl.

Zhan Shenwei sat down, he felt probably didn't have any visitors due to finding only one.

And he was right, Shang Jing hardly had anyone enter her suite.

if Mang Jin or a maid entered they stood till they were done and left, even the couch he was seating on was just prepared for him.

Pointing to the spirit fruits on the table, Shang Jing said lightly, " Have some! ".

Zhan Shenwei didn't stand on ceremony, since she told him to he did, taking a spirit grape from the table he put it in his mouth.

The spirit grape was sweet and juicy as it melted, it turned to a stream of qi that nourished his meridians, he even felt the qi in meridians increase a bit.

What a delicacy!, Zhan Shenwei mumbled, he felt if he ate enough of this spirit fruits in the future, even without cultivating his cultivation would still increase.

No wonder this young lady could afford to be lazy!, she was "lazy" cultivating.

Comparing it, he even felt like it was better than when he cultivated himself.

Zhan Shenwei's face twitched, what a shitty basic qi cultivation technique, eating a spirit fruits was even better that it.

Shang Jing erupted in laughter as she watched Zhan Shenwei's face as he ate the spirit grape, she could quite figure out the direction of his thoughts after eating the grape.

Not minding her laughter Zhan Shenwei ate a few more spirit fruits before lying his back on the cushion, with a serious look on, his face a bit close by Shang Jing's due to the arrangement of the couches and the way he lied, he asked, " What do you want ?".

He didn't think she just wanted him to relax and eat spirit fruits, right?.

Forcing herself to maintain her composure and not to blush due to the close proximity.

Shang Jing Mei smiled calmly at his serious face, " Become my Dao Protector ".
