The atmosphere at the dining table was slightly subtle.
Yun Yun ate the food in her bowl in small bites, sizing up Chen Yang's other women.
The three women before her, ranging from young to adult, all had different styles, but each was stunningly beautiful. Every one of them looked younger than her. Apart from having a slight lead in strength, she had no other advantages.
Moreover, this Xiao Yi Xian and Qing Lin had talent no worse than Xiao Yan's. By the time they reached her age, their strength might even surpass hers.
She... seemed to have no real advantages to speak of.
"Sister Yun Yun, here!" Sensing the slightly tense atmosphere at the table, Xiao Yi Xian took the initiative to pick up food for Yun Yun.
"Thank you, Xiao Yi Xian!" Yun Yun revealed a faint smile and also picked up food for Xiao Yi Xian.
Once the conversation started among the women, it became less awkward. Although Ya Fei had the worst cultivation Aptitude among them, she had experienced all kinds of people over the years. Her experience in dealing with others was far superior to Yun Yun's, and she quickly livened up the atmosphere.
Although Xiao Yi Xian was young, she had also spent a long time struggling at the bottom of society. Compared to the always high-and-mighty Yun Yun, her speech was very tactful.
As for Yun Yun, she felt that since she was the last to become Chen Yang's woman, she was much more humble.
Compared to the three women putting on a show, Qing Lin sat beside Chen Yang, silently picking food for him.
Little Qing Lin was actually very smart; she knew that the Young Lord would have many women, but she was the only maid. Even if a hundred, a thousand, or ten thousand years passed, she would still be the Young Lord's maid, and that would never change.
Thinking of this, the little girl revealed a sweet smile, looked up at Chen Yang's handsome Face, and then lowered her head to eat silently.
...
By the afternoon, Xiao Yi Xian and the others were already getting along very harmoniously.
All three women were very smart; no one competed for status. Ya Fei didn't even feel she was worthy of entering the Chen family's door. She positioned herself as a useful canary—although all this background of Chen Yang's was just made up by him.
Yun Yun knew some of the situation Chen Yang had made up, and she didn't feel that she, as the Sect Master of Yun Lan Sect, could make a Dou Sheng Family look at her twice. After meeting Xiao Yi Xian and Ya Fei, she decided that after seeing Chen Yang today, she would return to the Sect to Cultivate diligently and strive to achieve a Breakthrough to Dou Zong as soon as possible. She didn't want to fall too far behind.
As for Xiao Yi Xian, she wasn't worried about her own situation. Possessing the Calamity Poison Body, she knew her future potential was extremely high. But she also knew that everything she had now came from Chen Yang. Without Chen Yang, let alone a bright future, she might one day become a public enemy of the continent and a stray dog.
Therefore, although the three women had some jealousy at the beginning, after eating a meal, they had no extra thoughts.
Seeing this scene, Chen Yang was happy to see it, thinking silently about when they could all sleep together. After all, the Fighting Qi Continent was not Earth; having an orgy wasn't illegal!
"Three sisters, Chen Yang, there are still some things to attend to at the Sect, so I'm preparing to go back!" After seeing Chen Yang and his other women, Yun Yun decided to leave.
"Don't be in such a rush!" Chen Yang got up, took Yun Yun's hand, and sat her down, then said slowly, "Later, Fa Ma and Jia Xingtian will send a batch of medicinal herbs. When you go back, take a Huangji Pill. Next time we meet, you might just be a five-star Dou Huang!"
Yun Yun was currently still a Three-Star Dou Huang. Her Aptitude wasn't extremely excellent, so it was normal to take three or four years to advance one star at the Dou Huang level.
"Huangji Pill? That's a sixth-grade pill. Have you achieved a Breakthrough to a Sixth-Rank Alchemist?" Yun Yun covered her small mouth and shouted in pleasant surprise.
"I was lucky enough to achieve a Breakthrough to the sixth rank a few days ago. With the exotic flame, the success rate for refining a sixth-grade pill should be very high!" In reality, it was almost a one hundred percent success rate.
"You are truly amazing. Elder Pill King Gu He has been stuck at a Sixth-Rank Alchemist for over ten years, and he has never successfully refined a Huangji Pill even once!" Yun Yun's beautiful eyes looked at him, flowing with deep affection.
"That Pill King Gu He is nothing. If it weren't for the fact that a Dou Huang expert can only take one Huangji Pill in a lifetime, I would refine them for you to eat like jelly beans!" Chen Yang said with a smile.
"Hahaha..." The four women covered their mouths and giggled.
"Sister Yun Yun, since the husband has said so, you should stay!" Xiao Yi Xian looked at Yun Yun and persuaded her.
"That's right, Yun Yun, stay and help me. My strength is weak; I can't deal with a Dou Zong expert alone!" Ya Fei also looked at Yun Yun with a smile, but her words made Yun Yun blush.
"Well... alright then..." Yun Yun nodded shyly!
Chen Yang had perfectly handled the harem issue, and on Xiao Yan's side, the situation was also going very smoothly.
After agreeing on the terms with Nalan Su, the three of them came to Nalan Jie's courtyard and met the gaunt Nalan Jie.
"Grandfather..." Nalan Yanran looked at Nalan Jie and called out with some guilt.
"You rebellious girl, this old man doesn't have a granddaughter like you. Get out!" Nalan Jie was burning with anger and threw the pillow beside him at Nalan Yanran. Nalan Yanran did not dodge, letting the pillow hit her body.
"Father..." Seeing the Old Master get angry again, Nalan Su hurriedly stepped forward and dismissed all the maids!
"Cough, cough, cough..." Nalan Jie was overcome with anger. The branding poison that hadn't been fully suppressed flared up again, triggering an impact on his lung meridians, causing him to cough violently.
"Grandfather!" Seeing this, Nalan Yanran quickly stepped forward, reaching out to soothe Nalan Jie's breathing, but was pushed away by him.
Nalan Jie glared fiercely at Nalan Yanran, then looked at Xiao Yan: "What? Looking down on the boy I picked for you, so you brought another one back to anger me? Let me tell you, I don't agree. Even if you and the Xiao Family boy have already broken off the engagement, I still don't agree. This old man is afraid that after I die, I won't have the Face to see my old friend Xiao Lin..."
Xiao Yan looked at Nalan Jie strangely. Is this old thing acting for me here?
He had heard Xiao Zhan say that he looked seventy percent like his grandfather. Was this old thing, Nalan Jie, afraid that he had recognized his identity and was acting for him to see?
"Hahaha, the kid is quite smart!" The voice of Yao Lao sounded in Xiao Yan's mind, causing Xiao Yan to roll his eyes.
"I'm not a fool like Nalan Yanran!" Xiao Yan curled his lips, then stepped forward and bowed to Nalan Jie, "Old Master Nalan, I am here to treat your branding poison!"
Seeing Xiao Yan intercede for her, Nalan Yanran turned her head and looked at him with some gratitude, but Xiao Yan turned a blind eye, his starry eyes fixed on Nalan Jie, as if trying to see through this Lionheart Marshal of the Jia Ma Empire.
Nalan Jie looked at Xiao Yan, who looked extremely like his old friend, then looked at the Third-Grade Alchemist badge on the boy's chest. He sighed helplessly in his heart: "Oh, aren't you the young boyfriend brought back by my Yanran?"
The old guy intended to muddy the waters and let this marriage continue.
