Chapter 678: Who's Your Wife?

“Xiang Shaoyun, a-are you fine?” Huang Xiaoyue was the first to ask.

Xiang Shaoyun shot her a glance, frowned, then answered indifferently, “I’m fine. Thank you for asking.”

He was getting somewhat tired of Huang Xiaoyue’s irrational tendencies. Huang Xiaoyue felt incomparably wronged when she saw his frosty expression, and she nearly teared up.

Huang Tianji said on her behalf, “Young Master Xiang, we are here to apologize to you. Xiaoyue wasn’t aware of your injuries beforehand, and it wasn’t intentional.”

At that, Lady Shura added, “Shaoyun, they have been waiting here for three days.”

Clearly, Lady Shura sympathized with Huang Xiaoyue.

When Xiang Shaoyun heard that, his expression eased up. “Alright, it’s not a big deal. But I hope you can stop joking with me in the future, princess. I am not going to be someone’s guard.”

“It’s good to hear that you’re fine. If you need anything of us, don’t hesitate to ask. Consider it as us owing you a favor,” Huang Tianji promised. He then looked at Huang Xiaoyue and said, “Imperial sister, let’s go. Young Master Xiang is no longer blaming you.”

“I-I don’t want to leave!” said Huang Xiaoyue after some hesitation.

Huang Tianji blanked out before saying, “What can you do staying here? Elder Xiao still has something he needs to discuss with Young Master Xiang. If you still feel bad, just remember not to provoke him in the future.”

“Um. Say anything you want now. I need to take this kid away for a bit,” said Xiao Wei before walking away, giving them some time to say everything they needed to say.

Xiang Shaoyun ignored Huang Tianji and Huang Xiaoyue. Instead, he looked at Yu Caidie and Han Chenfei before he smiled and said, “The owners of the first two Phoenix Villas are both here. You honor me with your presence, ladies.”

“Don’t bother using your sweet talk on me. We’re here to invite you to the Deep Tidalwave so you can help Qianwei and Xuewei with the issues of their physique,” Han Chenfei went straight to the point.

“That place is helpful for them?” Xiang Shaoyun asked in astonishment.

“I’m not going to lie. So are you helping or not?” Han Chenfei asked.

Han Qianwei and Han Xuewei also looked at Xiang Shaoyun, their eyes filled with hope. When they were first sent to Han Chenfei, they were furious and thought that Xiang Shaoyun was too heartless. But subsequently, they had come to understand his reason. Slowly, their fury vanished, and they started missing him more and more. However, they knew that the gap between them was too great. Before catching up to Xiang Shaoyun, they wouldn’t dare have too many illusions about him.

Xiang Shaoyun nodded without hesitation. “Sure, I’ll help. But I don’t know what Elder Xiao wants from me. Can we enter when I’m done with him?”

“No problem. We’re not in any rush,” said Han Chenfei with a sweet smile. She then shot a glance at Yu Caidie before saying, “Alright, we won’t hold you from your lover any longer. Let’s go.”

She said those words to see if Yu Caidie would deny it or get angry, but Yu Caidie merely remained completely indifferent, as if she hadn’t heard anything. Somewhat disappointed, Han Chenfei left with the Han Clan sisters.

“Wait, Chenfei, let’s leave together,” Huang Tianji called out and dragged Huang Xiaoyue out with him.

Lady Shura, Tang Longfei, and the others also left quietly, not daring to disturb the meeting between Xiang Shaoyun and Yu Caidie.

Xiang Shaoyun looked at Yu Caidie with a gentle gaze and said, “I thought you would keep avoiding me.”

It had been a while since he had joined the academy. However, he hadn’t had the chance to meet Yu Caidie. It was understandable that he was somewhat displeased. He couldn’t guarantee that Yu Caidie wouldn’t have a change of affection, but he definitely wouldn’t allow that to happen. In his heart, she was already his, one he would treat as a formal wife, not a concubine.

“I have been focusing on cultivation and have only recently left seclusion. So here I am to visit you,” said Yu Caidie with her sweet voice.

“Um. Since I am capable of doing what you requested, you will be my woman from now on,” said Xiang Shaoyun overbearingly as he reached for her hand.

However, she avoided him and smiled. “Hehe, before your strength surpasses mine, will you really be able to bring yourself to make me be your woman?”

However, Xiang Shaoyun’s skin was indeed thick, and as he said, “Hehe, of course I can. In fact, I’m proud that my wife is stronger than me!”

As a response, Yu Caidie glared at him and said, “Shameless. Who’s your wife?” She then assumed a solemn tone and said, “If you want me to be your woman, I can agree. The moment you become the number one disciple on the Dragon Phoenix List, I will make the declaration that I am your woman. Even my clan’s opposition will be useless.”

When Xiang Shaoyun saw Yu Caidie being serious, he stopped joking around as well. With a sonorous voice, he said, “Ok. Before long, the number one position will be mine. You can start getting ready to be my wife.”

“Sure, I’ll be waiting. If you can’t within five years, don’t blame me if you see me with a different man instead,” said Yu Caidie with a teasing look in her eyes.

By setting a time limit, she was increasing the pressure on Xiang Shaoyun. Five years might seem like a long time, but it wasn’t for a cultivator. While Xiang Shaoyun was growing, others were doing the same. Becoming number one within five years wouldn’t be an easy task.

After all, even Xiao Xie was ranked only at the bottom of the top 10. The disciples in the top 5 had all surpassed fifth-stage Dragon Ascension Realm, each with powerful trump cards. Individuals like them couldn’t be overtaken easily.

“Fine. Five years it is, then. You’re my woman, and don’t even dream of escaping from me!” said Xiang Shaoyun confidently.

“Good, I’ll be waiting,” said Yu Caidie. She then left.

Looking at Yu Caidie, who was fluttering away like a graceful butterfly, a sense of warmth enveloped Xiang Shaoyun’s heart. She might seem like she was only here to put more pressure on him, but in truth, she was here to encourage him further, as she was worried he would give up on himself after his defeat at the hands of Xiao Xie. With Xiang Shaoyun’s intelligence, he was able to see that.

“Kid, you’re quite lucky with women, huh? Even the Yu Clan’s Holy Maiden can’t escape your grasp?” teased Xiao Wei, dragging Xiang Shaoyun back from his thoughts.

“You jest, Elder Xiao. So what can I do for you?” Xiang Shaoyun asked.
