On the way to Yu villa, which the trio named it as such, Shen decided to buy some fish and turtle prawns. He can't just let the awesome realm sit there and do nothing. One day was equivalent to 200 days inside the Absolute Realm!

'Wait, doesn't that mean I can just sell them after one day?' Shen wondered. Although he didn't need money badly, it was never bad to have more. He also decided to use only one pond for rearing fishes and give access to his beasts.

The other pond with Absolute Tree, he will use that for drinking water himself. Although smaller than the other, he thought he can make it doable. (A/N - Glutton; one small pond is not enough for him?)

But he encountered a problem soon. He obviously couldn't find enough fish and turtle prawns for the giant pond. He couldn't remember how Qing Shui got the prawns so, for the time being, he left these thoughts behind the back of his head and got as much as possible.

When Shen entered the villa he saw two men sitting opposite Ruyan. One of them was an old man with white hair. His cultivation reached the 3rd grade of the Xiantian realm. On the other hand, the young man's cultivation reached the peak of Houtian realm.

"Oh Ruyan, we have guests?"

Yu Ruyan who seemed to be having a headache now felt like fainting. She was already having a hard time dealing with this duo of an old and young man but adding Shen with them was complete madness!

Shen naturally took the empty chair beside Ruyan. He shot a questioning gaze towards the duo. Obviously aware of their not so good intention.

"Trash! How dare you sit beside my future wife?!?" as expected the young man stood up as he furiously bellowed.

Ruyan had an apparent frown on her face. Although she detested Shen for his shamelessness, she would never bear any injustice against him. "Oh~" She wanted to say something but Shen already started speaking. She just sighed and sipped on her tea.

"Are you talking about Ruyan? Well, if not me who would dare to sit beside her? She is my first wife, after all." Shen replied as if he was taking a stroll on his backyard.

Ruyan coughed up the tea she was drinking. Fortunately, they didn't fall on the bodies of their 'guests'. He said that many times but she never thought he would have the galls to say that in front of others!

A vein popped up on the young man's forehead. He bellowed with rage, "Uncle, kill this trash for me!"

"This… doesn't seem right, Young Master Zheng. That boy is just a mortal. Even if it's your command, as a Xiantian, I can't do it." The old man furrowed his brows, this young master of his was really arrogant and troublesome.

Ruyan didn't show any surprised expression hearing the old man. If she didn't know Shen personally even she would think the same. Till now, none could see through Shen's prowess.

"You! I will see you later, as for the trash there, thank this Young Master. For I will take care of you myself-"

"Hmm hmm. I am interested, how do you plan to do that?" Shen playfully smiled. The old man didn't know why but he felt a chill seeing that smiling face.

Young Master Zheng didn't even try to reply, as he directly sent a kick toward Shen. He was furious, 'how dare this trash talk back to me! Some random trash can't talk back to me!'

The table already crumbled into pieces, Shen didn't even react to it; to others, it looked he couldn't even react. As the kick was about to touch Shen's head, it was blocked by a yellow colored Qi and a silver colored Qi appeared before Ruyan.

As Shen didn't move, Yu Ruyan simply thought he left this trash to her. But she was shocked when a silvery Qi stopped her. She obviously knew the Metal Qi. Only she knew how surprised she felt, 'Did Shen breakthrough? But when?' Even as he used Qi, she still couldn't find a trace of Qi inside his body.

Although Shen would very much like to leave this problem to his woman, their disparity was still huge. It would be like a lion bullying a rat. No even describing their difference in elephant and ant might not be exaggerated.

When Zheng didn't feel the familiar feeling on his leg, a frown appeared on his face. He thought the woman must have interfered, otherwise, there was none who could save the puny mortal from him.

Three months ago, he encountered this ethereal beauty. Just her aura was enough to attract him, and after a gaze, he fell hard for her. He decided at that time, he must have this woman!

But later he learned this woman was at least a Xiantian expert. If Yan Jiang Country was in their control, he might have immediately abducted this woman. But know he needed some different approach, he came with the intention to 'recruit' her into their family and also gave her a long list of benefits she will get if she were to marry him.

But as soon as he saw the yellow colored Qi his face paled. Never in his dream did he expect to meet a Xiantian cultivator who was obviously around his 'age'. He understood, this time he bit more than he could chew. Just this young Xiantian could kill him then what about the woman by his side?

The old Xiantian expert on the other hand froze but for a different reason. The mortal kid which he didn't even want to spare a glance turned out to be a Xiantian. On top of that, he couldn't even detect how he used his Qi. Just this fact was enough to make him understand he was no match against this young man. Not to mention he never heard of something like dual element. This was just too heaven-defying!

"So, are you done already? If yes, then I want to make one too."

"Young Master Yu! Please wait! We can always discuss terms. How about this old man personally apologizes and give you this sword as c-" the man was already sweating, if his young master died then he was as good as gone.

"Please take your leave, we have more important matters to attend."

Shen obviously didn't expect to get anything decent from these country bumpkins. They were dead to him the moment they decided to cause trouble. If they were just here to talk peacefully, he would have obviously said nothing but disrupting this peaceful time was taboo.

The old man looked as if he got another chance on his life as he hurriedly bowed and dragged Zheng Feng along with him.

"Ruyan, I'll just take a walk around and will return soon."

"Forget it, just let them go. We don't want unnecessary trouble."

"Ah, I will just settle the business as peacefully as possible. You already know if they can return this event won't end here. Besides, I should at least gauge his eyes out for lusting after my wife." after saying this Shen followed the duo.

He was never a good person, neither a bad one. Someone who saw the face of humanity at its extreme moment will naturally change. He too changed at that time, to survive! At a point, he unknowingly became strong!

Ruyan couldn't bring out any words to say, she only complicatedly gazed at his back. From childhood until now, he never called her mother. She knew he was not a normal child. Later she even noticed his love for her.

At some point, she also unknowingly fell for him. She knew she was never meant to be with him. In the end, he was her child. Once she even thought to be with him but maybe only Lingshuang's existence restrained her from breaking the wall between them.
