Inside the room, five beauties with completely different auras had gathered together. Not only did each of them possess an extraordinary bearing, but their looks were top-notch as well.
Su Tiantian sat in the middle, with Zi Xin’er and Liu Shijing on either side of her, followed by Bai Yuyan and Liu Xueyao.
Chu Feng, meanwhile, stood in the center. He still hadn’t figured out what was going on. Sister Tiantian had said they were holding a meeting about him, yet he, the person in question, hadn’t even known there was going to be a meeting!
“Mm, since everyone’s here, I hereby declare the first meeting concerning the little rascal officially underway.”
Su Tiantian said with a charming smile. Her beautiful eyes swept over everyone present before finally settling on Zi Xin’er. First, she needed to determine exactly where this Holy Master of Yaochi stood. Was she a sister, an ally, or perhaps… an enemy?
“Holy Master Zi, what exactly do you think of the little rascal?”
“!!!”
Chu Feng stared at her in astonishment. Why was Sister Tiantian asking something like that?!
There was absolutely nothing improper going on between him and Aunt Zi. Uh… probably.
Bai Yuyan narrowed her beautiful eyes. She too felt that the Holy Master of Yaochi in this life treated her junior brother far too well. In their previous life, the Holy Master of Yaochi had always treated him rather indifferently. She had certainly never doted on him like a child the way she did now.
Liu Xueyao remained expressionless, calmly sipping her tea before turning her gaze toward her husband.
Hearing this, Liu Shijing’s delicate hands tightened around the hem of her skirt. In truth, she was also somewhat eager to hear the Holy Master’s answer.
Zi Xin’er remained calm and spoke at an unhurried pace. “Weren’t we supposed to be discussing the little fellow’s upcoming final round? What is this about?”
“We’re just livening things up a little before getting down to business. This Empress is rather curious. Holy Master Zi had been in seclusion for a hundred years, so why did you suddenly come out for the little rascal?”
Su Tiantian toyed with a lock of hair beside her ear, her gaze fixed on Zi Xin’er as she smiled.
“The little fellow is so adorable. He’s also Xiyue’s personal disciple and the son-in-law of my Yaochi Holy Land. Whether out of sentiment or duty, it was only natural that I lend him a hand.”
Zi Xin’er spoke indifferently, without revealing the slightest flaw in her words.
However, if not for their experiences in their previous life, Su Tiantian and Bai Yuyan might actually have believed her.
In their previous life, when Chu Feng had gone to the Yaochi Holy Land to propose marriage, he had already been Lu Xiyue’s personal disciple.
Not only that, he had already consummated his relationship with the Holy Maiden of Yaochi. By then, Chu Feng had already made a tremendous name for himself throughout the cultivation world, and his title of Sword Immortal was known far and wide.
Yet even under those circumstances, the Yaochi Holy Land had still rejected Chu Feng’s marriage proposal. Later, with his decisive battle against Lin Ruo approaching, the matter of marriage was never brought up again.
But in this life? Her junior brother had only just entered the cultivation world and hadn’t even consummated his relationship with the Holy Maiden of Yaochi, yet a marriage alliance had already been arranged. He had even gotten involved with the Holy Maiden’s aunt. And judging from how things were going, there were faint signs that even the Holy Master of Yaochi might end up getting involved with him.
“Are you saying you’ve never had any improper thoughts about the little rascal, Holy Master Zi?”
Su Tiantian refused to believe that Zi Xin’er’s attitude toward Chu Feng was the same as it had been in their previous life.
“……”
Faced with Su Tiantian’s question, Zi Xin’er fell silent.
At that moment, the hearts of all the women present tightened. Could it be that she had really fallen for him?!
Cold sweat began to bead on Chu Feng’s forehead as well. If Aunt Zi actually admitted she had feelings for him, would Sister Holy Maiden and Aunt Jing come after him with cleavers?!
No, no!
There was absolutely nothing improper between him and Aunt Zi. Mm, they hadn’t even eaten dumplings together. Compared to Sister Tiantian and the others, their relationship couldn’t possibly be any more innocent.
However, the moment Zi Xin’er opened her mouth, Chu Feng’s heart instantly sank.
“If I had to say… I suppose I do have some thoughts about the little fellow.”
The moment Zi Xin’er finished speaking, everyone was stunned.
Su Tiantian thought to herself, Just as I expected. Looks like I guessed right.
Bai Yuyan inwardly despaired. Liu Xueyao’s aunt was already bad enough, but now even Liu Xueyao’s master had joined the fray. At this rate, the master-disciple duo of her and her own master might not be able to compete with the Yaochi Holy Land trio.
!!
Liu Shijing’s pupils shook violently. Even the Holy Master actually…?!
Liu Xueyao, meanwhile, continued calmly sipping her tea. She didn’t care who ended up with her husband. As long as her husband remained by her side, that was enough.
Ignoring the strange looks everyone was giving her, Zi Xin’er gazed at Chu Feng with eyes brimming with affection and slowly said, “The little fellow is so outstanding that I’ve even thought about stealing him away from Xiyue and taking him as my own disciple.”
Phew—
Chu Feng let out a long sigh of relief. So that was what Aunt Zi had meant. She had scared him half to death. It seemed the bad ending had been avoided for now. As for what might happen in the future, he would just take things one step at a time. Things would work themselves out when the time came.
Zi Xin’er’s answer was completely unexpected by the other women present.
“Is that really all you have in mind, Holy Master Zi?”
Su Tiantian pressed.
“What else does Your Majesty expect me to have in mind?”
Zi Xin’er turned her clear eyes toward Su Tiantian. Her beautiful eyes were as pure as water, seemingly the clearest eyes in the world, utterly devoid of any improper thoughts.
Su Tiantian was immediately left speechless. She couldn’t exactly tell Zi Xin’er that she wanted her to admit she had feelings for the little rascal.
In the end, she smiled and said, “Nothing in particular. That’s good, then. I only hope that in the future, this Empress won’t happen to catch Holy Master Zi in some… inappropriate situation.”
As for what kind of inappropriate situation she meant, children weren’t allowed to let their imaginations run wild!
“Elder Liu.”
The moment Su Tiantian spoke, Liu Shijing’s delicate body trembled.
“Elder Liu, now that you know you’ll have so many sisters in the future, will you still like the little rascal?”
Su Tiantian asked with a smile. Bai Yuyan and Liu Xueyao were both women who had developed feelings for the little rascal in their previous life, so she already knew something about them. But as for Liu Shijing, she wanted to test just how deep her feelings for the little rascal truly ran.
Hearing this, Liu Shijing’s cheeks instantly flushed crimson. “I-I…”
For a moment, she was completely flustered, unable to figure out how to put her thoughts into words.
In the past, she had thought that if she and Xueyao ended up sharing the same husband as aunt and niece, then so be it, no matter how absurd it seemed. After all, she only had herself to blame for failing to resist in the end and slowly falling for him.
But who could have imagined that this brat would actually be entangled with so many women?! And every single one of them possessed an illustrious status!
The Empress of the demon race, in terms of status, was even a notch above the Holy Master.
“Auntie will continue to love Husband.”
At that moment, Liu Xueyao, who had been quietly drinking her tea all this time, spoke up.
“Xueyao…”
Liu Shijing was deeply touched, though she also felt somewhat embarrassed. She hadn’t expected that she would need Xueyao to speak up for her.
“Oh? And how does the Holy Maiden of Yaochi intend to prove that?”
Su Tiantian narrowed her alluring eyes.
“I trust Auntie.”
A resolute gleam shone within Liu Xueyao’s icy eyes.
“Xueyao is right.” In front of everyone present, Liu Shijing finally summoned her courage and declared, “I, Liu Shijing, am absolutely not a fickle woman. Since I’ve chosen this brat, I’ll never leave or abandon him. I’ll stay by his side through life and death.”
Su Tiantian merely smiled without saying anything. As far as she was concerned, that answer could only barely be considered a passing grade.
As for herself, even if everyone else abandoned the little rascal one day, she never would.
Then, Su Tiantian turned her gaze toward the young man standing obediently before the five women.
And then, she asked him a question.
“Little rascal, who will you marry first? And you’re not allowed to say you’ll marry everyone at the same time!”
The moment those words left her mouth, all the women’s gazes instantly locked onto Chu Feng.
After all, whoever he married first would essentially be recognized as his principal wife.
Th-This… Sister Tiantian is trying to get me killed!!
Chu Feng inwardly broke down upon hearing the question.
At this very moment, the young man was like a helpless little puppy, surrounded on all sides by big bad wolves eager to snatch him away.
