Cheng Ying leaned against Fang Xian's chest, feeling a sense of unreality.
During the day, she was scheming against Fang Xian, and at night she let him do as he pleased—it was simply outrageous.
She had been playing the male role the whole time, but now that she was experiencing the role normally, something felt off.
But in short, it was…
—comfortable.
Fang Xian gently stroked Cheng Ying's pretty face, his care evident.
"Yingying, are you alright?"
Cheng Ying lowered her eyes, touched her flat stomach, and answered shyly.
"Mmm… I'm fine now…"
"That's good. By the way, Yingying, what do you know about me?"
"I…"
Cheng Ying pondered for a moment, gathered her thoughts, and told him everything.
The situation was roughly as Fang Xian had expected. Through the clues from the daytime, Cheng Ying had guessed that the Dragon Alliance's greatest asset was Fang Xian, someone with the strength to kill Li Tianba.
Therefore, she wanted to use Fang Xian's power to help her obtain the "Advanced Divine Stone" and, incidentally, win over the Dragon Alliance.
She also guessed that the Dragon Alliance leader, Wu Lingtian, was Fang Xian's woman.
Fang Xian gently stroked Cheng Ying's hair, nodding in satisfaction.
A clever enemy is not a good thing, but a clever wife is pleasing.
"What does that old man with you know?"
"You can rest assured, Elder Cheng is my protector, the most loyal to me."
Fang Xian didn't believe in words of 'most loyal.' Without a contract, he wouldn't dare say all his wives were the most loyal.
Cheng Ying keenly sensed Fang Xian's thoughts and felt a little anxious.
"You...don't hurt Elder Cheng...he..."
"Don't worry, I have a plan."
"Really?"
"Yes."
"Thank you."
"Thank whom?"
Cheng Ying's pretty face flushed, she lowered her head slightly, biting her lower lip lightly, her eyes flashing with nervousness and shyness.
Finally, after a moment of silence, a soft voice called out.
"H-Husband…"
"Mmm, my wife is so good."
Fang Xian's face beamed with happiness as he lowered his head to kiss Cheng Ying's fragrant lips, gently pulling the blanket over her head.
…
…
Fang Xian sighed softly and took out many items from his "System Warehouse," handing them to Cheng Ying.
"Yingying, use them all."
Cheng Ying was a little tired, numbly accepting the items and consuming them all.
[Ding! Cheng Ying consumed one each of the following: "Attribute Enhancer," "Universal Stone," "Anti-Poison Pill," "Poison Pill," "Black Tortoise Meat," "White Tiger Meat," "Blood of the War God," "Golden Divine Gift," "Red Divine Gift," "White Tiger Blood," and "Golden Roc Golden Skill Book," with 35,000 of each returned.]
After receiving the returns, Fang Xian traded 3,000 bottles of "Attribute Enhancer" to Cheng Ying.
They then traded 10,000 portions each of "Blood of the War God," "Golden Divine Gift," "Red Divine Gift," "Anti-Poison Pill," "Poison Pill," and "White Tiger Meat."
Cheng Ying, seeing the 3,000 bottles of "Attribute Enhancer" in her storage ring, instantly shed her fatigue and was astonished.
"Husband, so this is the secret to your strength."
To be able to give away 3,000 bottles of "Attribute Enhancer" at once—such power is terrifying.
"Husband, what is your true identity?"
Fang Xian smiled slyly and said seriously:
"I am the ruler of the vast world"
--god."
Cheng Ying's eyes widened in shock. Her mouth opened slightly, and after a long pause, she uttered a single word.
"Oh."
Fang Xian: ???
He was making such an exaggerated expression; he thought Cheng Ying would say something incredibly admiring, but all he got was an "Oh?"
"Yingying, your acting is pretty good."
"Hehe, didn't you act first, honey?"
"I never knew little Yingying had such a cute side."
Cheng Ying smiled, her arms wrapped around Fang Xian, and playfully asked,
"Hehe, which side of Yingying do you like best, husband?"
Fang Xian grinned mischievously, grabbed a corner of the blanket, and flung it away.
"Hehe! I like all sides of little Yingying."
...
Fang Xian, cloaked in secrecy, silently arrived at the room Cheng Ying had mentioned.
He quietly slipped into the master bedroom and saw Old Master Cheng fast asleep.
He pulled back the "cloak of deception" and slapped Old Cheng across the face, instantly waking him.
The moment he awoke, he was immediately controlled by Fang Xian's "Trick: Mind Interference."
"Tell me, what's your opinion on Fang Xian's strength?"
Old Cheng answered blankly.
"A mere brat, nothing to fear."
"Good, remember that. Fang Xian is just a very weak newbie. Always tell others that."
"Yes."
"Good, go to sleep."
"Yes."
Old Cheng fell asleep immediately, even snoring.
Having dealt with Old Cheng, Fang Xian put on the "cloak of deception" and returned to Cheng Ying's room.
Cheng Ying saw Fang Xian return and anxiously asked.
"Old Cheng, he..."
"He's fine, sleeping soundly."
Cheng Ying breathed a sigh of relief. Old Cheng had raised her since she was a child, and their bond was quite deep; naturally, she didn't want anything to happen to him.
"Thank you, husband."
"You're welcome, let's get some rest too."
"Okay."
...
"Honey, didn't you say we should go to bed early? What are you doing..."
"You know perfectly well what you're asking."
"I..."
...
The next day.
Fang Xian rested his chin on his hand, looking at Cheng Ying's female attire with satisfaction.
"Alright, don't pretend to be Cheng Feng anymore. Look, isn't this much better?"
Cheng Ying, wearing women's clothing she hadn't worn in a long time, felt a little uncomfortable.
"Honey, does it really look good?"
"Of course."
"Then... I'll wear it."
"My wife is so good."
Fang Xian stepped forward and took Cheng Ying's small hand.
"Come on, let's go to the Dragon Alliance."
"Why are we going there?"
"To meet your sisters, of course."
"Okay..."
Cheng Ying, being a smart woman, naturally understood Fang Xian's meaning, and also realized that Fang Xian must have many women.
However, she didn't care; as long as she had a place in Fang Xian's heart, that was enough.
She sent a message to Old Cheng, then followed Fang Xian to the Dragon Alliance.
...
The Dragon Alliance.
Yukino was making breakfast, muttering to herself.
"My husband hasn't come home all night. Could something have happened?"
"Hmph! What could possibly happen to my husband? At most, he might get a beautiful woman pregnant."
Tatsumi picked up a pancake from the kitchen and started eating it.
Fubuki was stirring eggs nearby, watching Tatsumi's actions, and said irritably:
"Sis, everyone hasn't eaten yet, how can you sneak a bite?"
"Hmph! Mind your own business."
Tatsumi ate it in one bite, turned her head away, and ignored Fubuki completely.
Joel, making soy milk, smiled and said,
"Hehe, it's alright, Tornado can eat first if she's hungry."
"Sister Joel, you spoil me so much."
"Fubuki, I love you just the same."
"Thank you, Sister Joel."
Just then, a "click" sounded, and the door slowly opened, revealing Fang Xian.
Zhao Meijing saw Fang Xian enter and exclaimed joyfully.
"My husband is back!"
The women, seeing Fang Xian approach, happily rose to greet their
—Old husband.
