In the end, they decided not to tell Chen Xuan.
However, Su Wanqiu prepared a lot of delicious food and sent it into the main hall of the backyard.
It wasnât until dusk that Ye Jincen left the Chen Mansion.
In front of the main gate!
Su Yun looked at the departing carriage with a hint of reluctance.
She was really happy today, chatting a lot with Ye Jincen.
Howeverâ
"Letâs go, time to head back," Su Wanqiu said.
She was the most exhausted today, having used all her learned skills to warmly host this young lady.
...
Evening.
Chen Xuan slowly opened his eyes and exhaled a murky breath.
He habitually opened the panel.
[Realm: Martial Cultivation: Second Grade (Consciousness Sea (39%)), Spirit Cultivation: Third Level]
[Cultivation Technique: Nine Revolutions Secret Technique (Primordial Realm (988/200000))]
[Skill Points: 83365]
A day of cultivation and the Nine Revolutions Secret Technique progressed by 988.
He was quite satisfied with this.
Moreover, the Consciousness Sea of the Second Grade also reached 39% progress.
As the progress in the Consciousness Sea increased, he felt his spiritual power was much stronger than before, or rather, more pure.
It seemed that what Xuan Er told him back then, that spirit and martial dual cultivation needed to be synchronized, was indeed the case.
"Should I upgrade the Myriad Manifestation Skill?"
Chen Xuan pondered for a moment; he had enough points, butâafter thinking it over, he decided against it,
prioritizing martial cultivation.
His spirit cultivation might have its weaknesses, but since he had a different way of breaking through, once the points were enough, he would naturally advance.
"Gurgle gurgle..."
Suddenly, a protest from his stomach echoed in the side room.
Chen Xuan bowed his head and chuckled.
"Letâs go eat!" he then got up and left the side room, heading to the main hall in the backyard.
...
Dinner!
Several ladies were waiting to have dinner with Chen Xuan.
"Iâm a bit late!" he said with a smile as he arrived fashionably late.
"No, I timed it perfectly," Su Wanqiu said gently. "You must be hungry, go ahead and eat, I made quite a bit of medium-level demon beast meat today, try it and see if it suits your taste!"
"Mm, thank you for your hard work."
Su Wanqiu managed the household very well, and he was satisfied.
After sitting down, before he could start eating, Su Yun impatiently said, "Brother Xuan, Sister Ye came to the Chen Mansion today!"
"I know."
After taking a bite of demon beast meat, Chen Xuan responded.
Nothing that happened in the Chen Mansion could escape his spiritual power, even while cultivating in the side room.
"Oh, Sister Ye asked about you, several times in fact! I said I would go call you, but she didnât allow it."
Though Su Yun spoke carelessly, others listened intently.
The other women present immediately noticed something was off.
Ye Jincen, such a cold person, spent her time in the main hall with Su Yun. Apart from delivering some food, the other women remained elsewhere.
A casual inquiry wasnât a big deal.
However,
didnât Su Yun mention it happened several times!
That made it quite intriguing.
Pei Yuenan even shot Chen Xuan a glance with her bright eyes, but cheeky Chen Xuan merely chuckled.
He was so outstanding, wasnât it normal for others to enquire a bit!
She rolled her eyes at his attitude.
"Alright, letâs eat! Enough talking!" Chen Xuan rudely stuffed a piece of meat into Su Yunâs mouth.
"Mm.. mm...."
The young girl was unhappy, chewing and trying to protest, but the meat was too big, and her mouth was too small, leaving her only able to make âmm mmâ sounds!
....
Late at night!
Su Wanqiu was so tired she couldnât even move a finger.
Gently panting, she lay in Chen Xuanâs arms.
Chen Xuan appeared slightly unsatisfied, feeling the warmth in his embrace, though he had thoughts, he was concerned for Su Wanqiu, so he didnât continue.
"By the way, wasnât Miss Ye here to see you today?"
Su Wanqiu suddenly asked.
"Hmm?"
Chen Xuan lowered his head to look at her, such an insightful person, truly worthy of beingâSister-in-law!
Then he said, "I donât know, maybe, I canât say for sure!"
He was telling the truth, though he guessed she most likely came to see him.
"Miss Ye is not bad, if you really like her, you should take her in, after all, her father is the Mansion Master of Youlan Mansion, which would be beneficial for you."
She had no objections to him taking more women.
As long as Chen Xuan liked them, he could take as many as he wanted.
Furthermore, Ye Jincenâs status was indeed special and beneficial, so she had no problem with it.
"Weâll see!"
Chen Xuan neither agreed nor refused.
"Mm, as you wish, as long as youâre happy," Su Wanqiu said gently, "Also, I wonât go this time. You take the others, Iâll wait for you at home."
"Why?" Chen Xuan asked, pulling her closer.
"Itâs too far, I donât want to go, plus itâs troublesome."
Chen Xuan certainly didnât believe that; he kissed her, "Whatâs the trouble? Even if others donât go, you must. Youâve been managing the household tirelessly. This time, treat it as a chance to relax."
Seeing her about to protest, he gave her a stern look and scolded, "No refusal, or else, itâll be stick and rod education!"
"Oh!"
Su Wanqiu lowered her head as if aggrieved, but the curve of her lips betrayed her true feelings.
Of course, she wanted to go with Chen Xuan, but with already five women in the house, she thought not joining would prevent making things difficult for him.
...
Morning!
[Last night, Su Wanqiu was very happy, rewarding 2200 skill points, with Famous Spring Water boosting 880 points.]
"Hmm?"
As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw the information at the corner of his eye.
Chen Xuan was a bit puzzled.
Thatâs not right!
Why did Su Wanqiu give more points than Pei Yuenan?
You have to know, last night she was just acting normally, nowhere near as good as Pei Yuenan.
The amount of skill points obtained is related to how happy they are, the key is both women were happy, so why is that?
After thinking for a long time and still not understanding, he gave up.
Anyway, as long as they give more, thatâs fine.
Next, it was Chen Xuan cultivating during the day and enjoying himself at night.
On the third night, Su Yun.
But this little girl really gave him a headache, performance? Non-existent!
All night long, she kept begging him to take her out!
There was no way he could refuse.
Finally, having no way out, Chen Xuan gave her a severe lecture! She immediately lay down!
Let her know why the flowers are so red!
Frightened, she quickly shut up.
But what surprised Chen Xuan was, Su Yun that night, her skill points returned to normal levels.
points!
He guessed in his heart that maybe she was really scared last night.
Next were Liu Rushi and Ji Keren.
These two almost cost him his life, each more intense than the other. Ji Keren being a spirit cultivator was a bit better, but Liu Rushi was truly a seventh-grade martial artist, her physical condition was impeccable.
And with that allure, it was just too much!
Eventually, Ji Keren gave 2100 points, Liu Rushi was the strongest with 2400 points!
Of course, the biggest winner was still Chen Xuan, as he not only enjoyed it but also received more points than ever before.
A double blessing!
Five days passed by in a flash.
Tomorrow was the day to set off for Yan Province, but Chen Xuan still hadnât said who he would take with him.
It was dinner time.
He was as happy as usual, constantly praising how Su Wanqiuâs cooking skills were getting better and better.
But now, none of the women were in the mood to listen to him talk about this.
They couldnât eat, each staring earnestly at him, waiting for him to announce who heâd take to Yan Province, even Su Wanqiu was the same.
"Alright! I know you all want to go, soâ"
Chen Xuan deliberately paused, seeing that the atmosphere was just right, if he didnât speak now, the looks from these women could almost cut him.
"Then letâs all go!"
"Really?"
"Really?"
....
The five women couldnât believe their ears, thinking they must have misheard.
"Whatâs the matter? These expressions? Since you all wanted to go, then letâs all go, wonât it be a happy win for all!"
"Did you already have this planned out from the start?"
Pei Yuenan was staring him down, she knew Chen Xuan all too well, if this was his plan all along, he wouldnât have decided so quickly.
Making a whole show of a competition, watching their performance.
These days, they sisters had put in all their efforts.
"Ah... you accuse me wrongly! No, absolutely not!"
Chen Xuan adamantly refused, wouldnât admit it even if beaten, as the looks from the women had already turned hostile.
"Sisters, move in! Tonight, let him know why the flowers are so red!"
With Pei Yuenanâs call,
Tonight!
Chen Xuan was in trouble!
One wave after another, as the saying goes, where sisters unite, they form a mighty force!
Tonight,
Chen Xuan was on his knees!
....
Not a wink of sleep all night!
Even with the dawn breaking, the smokeless war wasnât ending.
With the care of five women, Chen Xuan got dressed.
Then it was their turn to dress up.
By noon, it was time to depart for Yan Province.
In front of the Chen Mansionâs gates!
An extravagantly large carriage was parked there.
Five horses!
The carriage was as big as a room.
All five women were stunned.
"Did you customize it?" Pei Yuenan came around and immediately looked at Chen Xuan and asked.
"Yes, I specifically had someone make a new carriage, how is it? Big, right? Itâs enough." Chen Xuan replied proudly looking at her.
"Hmph!"
Pei Yuenan snorted coldly, "Now youâve exposed yourself, yesterday you wouldnât admit you had it planned, how do you explain now?"
"Uhâ"
It was over!
But, Chen Xuan still wouldnât admit it, instead he headed towards the carriage first, "What explanation, letâs get on the carriage quickly, or thereâll be no seats left."
"Letâs go!"
Liu Rushi hooked her arm with Yuenanâs, then laughed and teased, "Do you think you can win against him? Accept reality honestly, donât say I, as your sister, didnât warn you, when youâre in the carriage, calling the heavens wonât work, calling the earth wonât work either, are you sure you still want him to explain?"
At that moment,
Pei Yuenan didnât dare!
Knowing Chen Xuanâs personality, he was capable of anything.
Even on the carriage?
He wouldnât care!
"Oh no, Sister Liu, what do we do?" Pei Yuenan was panicking inside.
"Alright, just accept it, this will teach you to doubt him next time!"
Saying this, she pulled her onto the carriage.
