A Date with Meng Hongchen

Throughout the Sun and Moon Empire's long history, there had been very few who reached the Soul King realm before the age of fifteen.

So long as they did not die young, every one of them had gone on to become a major figure in the Sun and Moon Empire, even being recorded in the history books and remembered for posterity, admired by later generations.

As for reaching the Soul Emperor realm before fifteen—how could that be possible? It was too absurd, far too absurd. There had never been any record of such a thing in the entire history of the Sun and Moon Empire. No one would even dare imagine it.

Seeing Elder Wang Yuan's incredulous expression, Wang Chen nodded, then shook his head.

Under Elder Wang Yuan's puzzled gaze, Wang Chen said, "I'm already a Soul Emperor."

Wang Yuan: (O_o)?? A Soul Emperor? Seriously? You're not just teasing me, are you?

At first, Wang Yuan did not believe Wang Chen's words. He hurriedly smiled and said, "Chen'er, you're joking with me."

Wang Chen said seriously, "I'm not joking."

The smile on Wang Yuan's face froze. "Chen'er, your Grandpa Yuan is old. I can't handle this kind of fright."

Wang Chen knew that saying a thousand words would be useless right now, because this was simply beyond ordinary understanding.

Thus, Wang Chen directly released his Soul Power, revealing his Soul Emperor-level cultivation beyond any doubt.

Feeling Wang Chen's Soul Emperor-level Soul Power head-on, Wang Yuan felt as though he had been struck by lightning. His head spun, his mind went blank, and the terrifying news left him completely unable to think.

He could not even stand steadily and collapsed into the chair.

Seeing Elder Wang Yuan's dumbfounded appearance, Wang Chen's mouth twitched. He silently thought, He can't even accept this much. If he sees me defeat a Soul Douluo while at the Soul Emperor level someday, won't he get so excited that he passes out?

Just as Wang Chen was inwardly thinking that Elder Wang Yuan's ability to handle shocks needed improvement, Wang Yuan finally recovered from the immense impact after a long while.

Once he came back to his senses, Wang Yuan immediately questioned Wang Chen carefully, asking whether he had taken pills that depleted his potential or used some other method to forcibly raise his cultivation. Only after confirming it several times did Wang Yuan accept the truth.

Wang Yuan stared at Wang Chen with gleaming eyes, as though he were looking at an unparalleled treasure.

A Soul Emperor, a Soul Emperor, a fourteen-year-old Soul Emperor!!

A genius, an unparalleled genius—no, even genius was insufficient to describe him. This was a monster, a true monster! The Wang Family had actually produced such a monstrous genius.

Heaven had truly favored the Wang Family. Once Chen'er grew up, the Wang Family's status would surely rise with the tide, and it would definitely become one of the foremost families in the Sun and Moon Empire.

He did not know how Wang Chen had risen from a Soul Elder to a Soul Emperor in merely three years, but that was not important.

As long as this Soul Emperor cultivation was genuine and had not been gained by draining his potential, that was enough.

The Wang Family was going to flourish!!

However, Wang Yuan soon began to worry. Wang Chen was only a Soul Emperor now; he had not truly grown strong yet.

Once this news spread, there would inevitably be people unwilling to let him mature.

Wang Yuan said worriedly, "Chen'er, you haven't told anyone else about your Soul Emperor cultivation, have you?"

Naturally, Wang Chen understood Elder Wang Yuan's concern, but his true strength was far more than it appeared to be.

However, to keep Elder Wang Yuan from being shocked into passing out, Wang Chen decided to be considerate of the old man's tolerance and not reveal too much.

Wang Chen shook his head, indicating that no one knew.

Wang Yuan breathed a sigh of relief and muttered, "That's good, that's good. A tree that stands out in the forest will be battered by the wind.

"Chen'er, remember: before you become a Titled Douluo, you must understand how to hide your brilliance and bide your time. You shouldn't even have told me..."

Wang Yuan continued, "Chen'er, remember this. Never tell anyone else in the future. I will keep this secret for you as well."

Though he did not truly need Elder Wang Yuan's warnings, Wang Chen still felt warmth in his heart upon hearing them.

At last, Wang Yuan gripped Wang Chen's arm sorrowfully. "Chen'er, Xu Tianran has now become the crown prince. If the Wang Family's situation ever turns dire one day, "leave the family, conceal your identity, and cultivate diligently. Once you are strong enough, rebuild the family... As long as you live, the Wang Family can rise again."

A quarter of an hour later, Wang Chen turned and left Elder Wang Yuan's home.

He walked along the Wang Family's paths, watching familiar clansmen pass him by. Every one of them wore a trace of worry on their faces.

Wang Chen could not help but sigh inwardly.

Within a family, there were people like Wang Yan—selfish individuals who would disregard the lives of the entire clan for their own benefit.

But there were also people like Elder Wang Yuan, willing to sacrifice themselves for the family.

After leaving Elder Wang Yuan's home, Wang Chen visited several other elders.

Then he went to the place he had arranged with Meng Hongchen to see whether she had left him a message.

Looking at the letter Meng Hongchen had left behind, Wang Chen thought of the exquisitely beautiful young girl he had not seen for a month, and the corners of his lips rose slightly.

Time flew by, and the next day arrived.

In Room 607 of the Hundred Treasures Pavilion, Wang Chen and Meng Hongchen had arranged to meet.

At first, this place had been used by Wang Chen and Meng Hongchen to exchange information.

But after Jing Hongchen stopped forbidding Meng Hongchen and Wang Chen from meeting in private.

This place became where Wang Chen and Meng Hongchen went on dates.

The moment Wang Chen entered the room, he saw an incomparably beautiful young girl in a blue dress.

She had a cascade of silver-white hair that gleamed with a cool, pristine luster.

Her delicate face was like that of a porcelain doll, her skin snow-white and carrying a faint chill. Her eyes resembled brilliant blue sapphires.

Her figure was slender, her waist slim, tracing graceful curves.

Her long, straight legs wrapped in white stockings were like twin jade pillars. She was breathtakingly beautiful.

Just as Wang Chen was admiring Meng Hongchen's lovely figure.

Meng Hongchen rushed over in three quick steps, leaping into his arms.

Clinging tightly to Wang Chen like an octopus, Meng Hongchen said softly, "Wang Chen Gege."

Her voice was exceptionally pleasant, soft and sweet enough to melt anyone's heart.

Holding Meng Hongchen's fragrant, soft body, Wang Chen walked over to the sofa and sat down.

Looking at the girl in his arms, Wang Chen's face softened with affection. One arm wrapped around Meng Hongchen's waist while his other hand gently stroked her fair, tender back.

Sitting in Wang Chen's lap, Meng Hongchen enjoyed the caress of his warm hand and breathed in his scent. She rested her pretty face against his chest, closed her eyes, and listened to his steady, powerful heartbeat.

The two quietly leaned against each other like that, as though time had frozen in that instant. The room was filled with a sweet, cozy atmosphere.

After an unknown amount of time, Meng Hongchen was the first to break the silence. She slightly raised her head, her sapphire-like eyes gazing into Wang Chen's black ones.

Then, their breaths intertwined...
