Chapter 499: Chapter 248: How Many Soulmates Do You Really Have? (Part 2)

"Coastal fishermen are thrilled with the increased catches in recent years. Just casting a net casually can bring in a full load of fish and shrimp. But if the Four Seas Dragon Palace weren’t intentionally restraining them, quite a few aquatic creatures would probably come ashore to compete with humans for territory."

"As for the Abyss over there, fortunately, there’s a Grotto Heaven suppressing it. Back then, the righteous path showed foresight. As long as the Grotto Heaven remains unbroken, the Abyss will remain temporarily unharmed."

Chu Xuan nodded slightly with a bit of heaviness in his expression; no wonder Jiang Yiyi went to the East Sea to manage natural disasters back then. She probably had a premonition...

It was at this moment that Yao Yufei looked at Pei Shurou and chuckled, "Venerable, you haven’t formally introduced this lady to me yet."

In fact, she had already eavesdropped on the conversation between Qingqing and Xiaoxue outside the hall earlier, guessing that this Yun Ni Fairy might be an old flame of the Celestial Evil Demon Venerable from years past.

This made Yao Yufei secretly sigh. Primordial Monarch Taixu, Wu Gou Fairy, Yun Ni Fairy - this Demon Venerable’s ability to attract women is truly astounding. Even after all these years, they remain unwaveringly devoted. Like this one, who after making a breakthrough, even abandoned her own sect.

If word of this got out, no matter how much Chu Xuan denies using "bewilderment spells," no one would believe him.

Chu Xuan snapped back to reality, gently took Pei Shurou’s hand, and looked into her eyes, saying, "Choose a temporary name for yourself. Trust me, this will soon be over, and I won’t let you do anything difficult."

Pei Shurou’s eyes held a hint of a smile. She nodded to Yao Yufei, saying, "Just call me ’Wan’er.’ Make up any backstory you like, just don’t tie it to the Purple Star side."

Chu Xuan also instructed Yao Yufei. Although this name’s battle strength is temporarily under her management, Pei Shurou should not be put at too much risk, nor should she be made to do anything unwillingly.

Yao Yufei naturally followed along, often not even needing to have this person make a move. Simply sitting at the main camp is enough to intimidate outsiders.

Qingqing watched with increasing jealousy and couldn’t help but shake Chu Xuan’s hand, saying, "What about me? Did you forget about your little sweet wife?"

Chu Xuan patted her hand back gently, coaxing, "Of course, I didn’t forget. I came back this time just to see you."

"How about you get along harmoniously with Wan’er in the future?"

This name was actually the alias Chu Xuan gave Pei Shurou during an experiment back in the day, and she never forgot it.

He wasn’t too worried about her; he was just afraid Qingqing wouldn’t be able to accept it.

Qingqing pursed her little lips. In the past, she would never accept her man being so indecisive, but after going through so much, she has somewhat learned to compromise.

At this moment, she just said, "You should be honest with me. How many beloved friends do you have now, and will there be more in the future? Just so I can be mentally prepared."

"There absolutely won’t be more. I guarantee it with my humanity," Chu Xuan said solemnly.

Regarding this harem number, he silently counted in his mind: Gu Haitang, Qingqing, Qing’er, Pei Shurou - just these four are already confirmed, not to mention the few other entangled ones...

So he had to give a vague number and said, "Just the ones you know. Don’t worry; there definitely won’t be more."

Qingqing counted on her fingers. Ji Mingyu definitely needs to be added, and then Chu Xuan seems to be fondly remembering his senior sister Qin Mengyao. Doesn’t this mean she at least has to share him with five women?!

She frowned and said with a pained expression, "I’m so pitiful. You, this guy, fall in love at first sight, and now you have at least six women in your harem. In the future, if you dare to flirt again, I’ll stab you to death first and then kill myself."

Chu Xuan looked extremely embarrassed, "I won’t, I won’t. Don’t overthink it."

Simultaneously, he silently prayed that no old flame from the Celestial Evil Period would suddenly appear. Otherwise, rejecting would make him a heartless scoundrel, and not rejecting would be unfair to Qingqing and the others.

Pei Shurou, hearing this, was somewhat surprised. Only six? She thought there would be more. It seems this guy has restrained himself quite a bit in this lifetime.

Yao Yufei secretly shook her head; she still hoped her daughter would meet a man who was devoted solely to her. But she loved this one deeply, and as a mother, there was nothing she could do.

Next, after discussing the operation of the Celestial Alliance and how to guard against the Shangguan family from inciting the entire righteous path to target them, Chu Xuan stood up, holding Qingqing’s hand in one and Pei Shurou’s hand in the other, and walked out.

Xiaoxue, or rather Ji Mingyu, wanted to hold his hand but couldn’t. Annoyed, she followed behind them, wishing she could kick these two women aside with one strike each!

"I’ll be taking a whole month off in the Demon Sect. During this time, I’ll spend Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays with Qingqing, and Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays with Shurou, okay?"

"What’s this about Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays?" Qingqing calculated that there were thirty days in a month.

"It’s calculated on a seven-day cycle. On the seventh day, give me a break, and I’ll take Xiaoxue for a walk outside."

Ji Mingyu, hearing the last sentence, wasn’t sure whether to feel happy or sad. Chu Xuan hadn’t forgotten her, but only one day! Seriously, say that again to my face?

Qingqing furrowed her brow slightly, then pouted, "Not good, my time with you is too short. Let’s do it this way: I get four days, and she gets three. The pet gets none."

"You believe I’ll bite you?" "Xiaoxue" said in a sinister tone behind her.

Qingqing felt a bit of a chill down her spine and increasingly found it strange. She had noticed in the Northern Territory that this little ghost seemed to occasionally take Ji Mingyu’s perspective. Is it schizophrenia, or what?

Chu Xuan, smiling wryly, said: "It’s not the lack of fairness that matters, but the lack of balance. Besides, Xiaoxue would be too pitiful then."

Pei Shurou, however, had no objections. She didn’t even acknowledge Qingqing; she just gazed at Chu Xuan with longing eyes, "Master, can you call me ’Baby’ like before?"

Chu Xuan kissed her cheek and said, "Sure, Baby~"

Pei Shurou immediately smiled happily, her cheeks flushed with a faint blush, looking very pretty.

Qingqing watched, gritted her teeth, and quietly cursed "vixen" several times in her heart. She shook Chu Xuan’s arm and pouted coquettishly, "I want it too~"

Chu Xuan had no choice but to kiss her as well.

"Not just this, I want you to call me Baby too."

Pei Shurou’s eyebrows furrowed instantly. Qingqing even felt a sudden surge of murderous aura from her. It seemed that this appellation was one of her "taboos" not to be shared with other women.

Qingqing was a bit scared inside, but she still maintained her defiance on the surface.

Chu Xuan, caught between these two women, felt rather sweaty and overwhelmed.

He had no choice but to coax Pei Shurou while saying to Qingqing, "Sweetie, I’ve already given you a special nickname, Qingniang, isn’t it?"

"It’s unique to you. Stop competing with Shurou over this."

Qingqing still felt a bit unsatisfied. She changed the topic, "Not everyone is here yet, and I already have to split time with you three days a week."

"What if in the future, all your women gather and I want you to keep me company? Will I have to wait six or seven days for a turn? Wouldn’t I be like a concubine waiting for you in the deep palace?"

Chu Xuan, looking embarrassed, said, "I won’t, I won’t. By then, I can accompany you all at once."

"Oh really! You’re planning on sleeping with all of us at once?!" Qingqing exclaimed angrily.

"No, no, you misunderstood. I meant spending time with you all, not having to wait six or seven days to see me once," Chu Xuan explained, sweating.

Pei Shurou didn’t want to discuss such frustrating topics. She just held onto Chu Xuan’s arm, gently biting his earlobe and whispering, "Master, I want~"

Qingqing panicked, "No way! Today counts as the first, so it should be my turn!"

Chu Xuan smiled bitterly, "Can’t you two just listen to me for a moment?"
