It was a simple and chaste kiss, nothing like the twisting of tongues that often happened with his first three disciples. However, it was sweetest, the most heart-warming, the most satisfying. After many twists and turns and many struggles, he finally had a place in her heart and he would never leave.
His rogue hands moved on their own while their lips were still connected. They roamed down her back and eventually covered her perky butt. This did not have the desired effect as her body tensed and she gave a loud shriek.
"You pervert!"
Her small fists punched his chest and she squirted from his arms. She glared at him but he merely grinned.
"What?"
"What? You're not allowed to touch there!" She cried, rubbing her butt like he had done some inexcusable crime.
He laughed, "Hahaha. So, no touching? Just kissing?"
"Yeah… Ahhhhh!"
He tried to catch her for another kiss but she cleverly dashed away from his evil clutches.
"Hey! I thought you liked kissing?""You… hmph!"
She crossed her arms and continued to dodge his attempts. They chased each other around the prairie under the moonlight. No one was here to hear the giggles and laughter and no one was here to interrupt them…
Chen Wentian finally caught Jasmine again, or perhaps it was she who let him catch her. Regardless, they tumbled to the grass once again. This time, he was lying on his back and she sat on top of him.
"I'm a beast, you're a human. We're not compatible." She spoke softly.
"Why not? I am a man and you are a woman. I think we're compatible." He teased. "Do you want to try it out, see if we are compatible or not?"
"Hmph… pervert… Don't think you can do whatever you want after just a little kiss. I'm not your woman!"
He tried to find her lips to prove a point but she pushed him down again.
"Stop it." She said firmly.
It looked like the moment had passed and Jasmine returned to her stubborn self. She was a tough little fox and hard to deal with. She did not have an innocent maiden heart that could be conquered with a single kiss. The path was open but it was still filled with many traps and pitfalls. It seemed he would still have to work hard…
"So, you're not my woman?" He asked.
She snorted. "Of course, not."
"I agree!"
"Wha…"
"You're my cute little disciple!"
"You!"
"You what? You even bowed to me and accepted me as your master. In this lifetime, you have to always listen to what I say."
She blew out her cheeks in anger, "You! Bad egg!"
He laughed and her face got even redder. He looked at her smugly. Even if she wanted to be stubborn, she was still within his grasp. She can run but she can't escape!
"Don't be arrogant." She said, "My understanding of the Legacy of Moonlight is getting better every day. I will soon reach the third stage of strengthening. The other stages are only a matter of time and the same for the Spirit King Realm. I think it will soon be time for us to renegotiate our master-disciple relationship!"
"Oh yeah?"
"Yeah!"
"Hmm… and what if you still can't beat me? Is there some kind of reward for me? A kiss, two kisses, or something else?"
"Pervert!"
She rose into the sky and flew away. He was too slow to stop and let her get away. What happened tonight was a huge step in the right direction. It was beyond his expectations and he could look forward to more opportunities in the future.
He glanced back at the moon above him. In a few days, it would be a full moon again. He was curious as to how Jasmine's mother would react to her daughter's first kiss. Would she be angry or happy? Dealing with in-laws was sure to be a headache.
Although the kiss was amazing, it left him frustrated and wanting more. He flew into the air and headed back to the castle. He still had nine other disciples that could take care of his little problem…

Chen Wentian, as Chen Mo, emerged from the teleportation array and was met with a familiar sight. It was the town square of Thousand Flower Town, soon to be Thousand Flower City. It had transformed a great deal over past few months.
Hundreds of thousands of refugees had passed into the province through the town's teleportation array. Many of them stayed in the vicinity and the town constantly expanding and building up towards becoming a city.
"Wow…"
"We're finally here!"
Bei Yingluo and her mother and sister had come through at the same time. They had traveled through countless provinces, all the way from the southern part of the subcontinent. Along the way, they saw a variety of scenery and climates.
There was another flash and ten more women appeared. They were the clan members that were rescued at the same time. They had all traveled together and finally arrived at their last stop.
"State your name, affiliation, and business in this province!"
A squad of Zhao family guards surrounded them. They were responsible for protecting the array and greeting new arrivals.
Chen Wentian had Chen Mo wear a weird disguise so the guards did not recognize him. He had already decided to make Chen Mo one of the nominal elders of the sect. In his human form, it made using the teleportation arrays and getting around much easier.
It made infiltrating other immortal provinces much easier as well. Although Chen Mo was still just one person and was limited in the number of effective anchors he could lay down, there was no one else that could do this necessary job.
One of his hopes for the future was for Lin Qingcheng's branch sect to spread out to the four corners of the subcontinent. It would serve as the eyes and ears of the sect and inform him of any strange happenings across the land at a scale that was impossible for Chen Mo. It was feasible but it needed many more years of growth. Lin Qingcheng also needed to continue to improve herself so that she could shoulder that responsibility…
Chen Mo removed the facial disguises and held up a black-colored sect badge. On it was carved a night orchid, a special flower which only bloomed in absolute darkness.
"Elder Mo!"
"Welcome Elder Mo!"
The guards kneeled to the ground respectfully.
"Rise. Get me carriages for my guests."
"Yes, sir. At once!"
Three horse carriages were quickly found. Chen Mo, Bei Yingluo, and her family got on the first one. The other women got on the other two. They set off and headed towards Ten Thousand Flower Valley.
