Chapter 598 -297: What Does It Feel Like to Be Surrounded by Eight Women? (Part 2)

Ji Mingyu followed seriously, thinking to herself: It’s time to educate these women and let them know that I am the main wife of Chu Xuan. All of you should call me sister and act according to my expressions.

Qin Mengyao was also curious, laughing and following along, but Chu Xuan always felt that the senior sister wanted to stab him, a chill running down his back…

Even Jiang Yiyi didn’t want to miss such a fun event, pulling along the junior sister to join in and watch the drama unfold.

…

As soon as Chu Xuan arrived at the mountain gate, Gu Haitang, Qingqing, Su Mengqing, Pei Shurou, and Madam Yinhe all surrounded him together.

Gu Haitang and Qingqing stood closer, looking at him with a mixture of anger and tears in their eyes.

The other three old flames were much calmer; after all, they didn’t meet Chu Xuan yesterday; among them, Pei Shurou and Madam Yinhe were closer, leaving our tea-loving Qing’er isolated again.

At this moment, Chu Xuan was like a “Royally Popular” character receiving Valentine chocolates from nine girls simultaneously.

Chu Xuan first gave a comforting look to the three, then held Qingqing and Haitang’s hands, apologetically saying, “I’m sorry, I…”

Before he could finish, there were two slaps. This pair of sisters-in-arms had already agreed upon this and each gave him a slap.

But Haitang, hurting for Chu Xuan, didn’t really use much strength.

Qingqing, however, was quite forceful, “You think it’s easy to just leave us? Have you thought about us?”

Gu Haitang cried while saying, “And you never told me you had so many old flames. Will you really still marry me?”

Knowing well he’d get a beating, Chu Xuan didn’t get angry, instead honestly admitting his mistakes, firmly promising Haitang, “I will, I promise I’ll marry you.”

Qingqing, feeling sour in her heart, choked out, “Is your Seven-Aperture Exquisite Heart gone?”

Hearing this, Chu Xuan turned to comfort her, “Your heart is still in my body. I deliberately refined the fragments into me, so we’ll always be together, never leaving nor forsaking each other.”

“Moreover, my newly forged body is also the {Cyan Lotus Body}, so these are ‘couple styles’, ‘husband and wife sets’.”

Upon hearing this, Qingqing’s previously gloomy mood lightened, and indeed she felt the scent on Chu Xuan was quite pleasant, naturally inducing a closeness with him, merging even.

Little Snow Mink also followed up, already jumping into its master’s arms. Seeing this scene, it couldn’t help but secretly criticize:

In front of so many women, promising and sweet-talking smoothly without blushing, I do admire you.

After coaxing these two, Chu Xuan then hugged the tearful Pei Shurou who had rushed into his arms. She was much easier to comfort, hardly blaming Chu Xuan, only saying:

“I just want to live and die together with you. If they hadn’t held me back, saying there might be a turn for the better, I’d have long gone down to the underworld with you. Next time, don’t leave me alone, okay?”

Chu Xuan nodded in agreement, personally wiping the tears away from his “baby.”

The remaining Qing’er and Madam Yinhe didn’t need any coaxing, being much more mature. Qing’er merely giggled, “Chu Xuan, next time when sleeping with me, make sure not to fall asleep, or I’ll surely strangle you in the middle of the night.”

Madam Yinhe stated plainly, “I just came to see if you’re dead. Since you’re not, I’ll leave now.”

Chu Xuan hurriedly grabbed their hands, “No, no.”

“I, I…” Struggling for words, he finally managed, “I’ll make it up to you next time.”

Madam Yinhe scoffed, “Running out of words for me?” 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ

Qing’er seemed about to cry, “Looks like I’ve never been in your heart. Fine, fine, I’ll leave, okay? After all, you have other sisters; why would you still need me?”

Chu Xuan had a headache, “No, listen to me.”

Seeing this, Jiang Yiyi was already laughing so hard her stomach hurt, not forgetting to say, “Serves you right!”

The junior sister couldn’t bear to watch, covering her eyes and shaking her head repeatedly.

Qin Mengyao carefully observed each woman’s appearance, expressions, seemingly wanting to remember each one of them.

Initially fond of being jealous, at this moment, Ji Mingyu exhibited the demeanor of a “primary wife,” calmly saying, “Alright, Chu Xuan has urgent business now, let him go first.”

“Then I need to discuss something with you all, follow me inside.”

These words immediately attracted slightly hostile gazes; the women didn’t seem to like her high-and-mighty attitude.

Chu Xuan gratefully seized the opportunity, quickly coughing to say, “Indeed, there’s urgent business. I need to head to Wa Shrine…”

“Oh~ Off to see another woman, are you? I’m telling you, Chu Xuan has a shady relationship with that Demon Saint Fire Phoenix,” Qing’er fueled the fire deliberately.

Chu Xuan hurriedly covered her mouth, “It’s important! Really important, ask Ming Yu if you don’t believe me, and I have nothing going on with Little Phoenix. Ming Yu can vouch for me.”

“Humph, calling her Little Phoenix, and you say there’s nothing between you two?” Qingqing crossed her arms, speaking sourly.

Chu Xuan couldn’t defend himself, fortunately, Ji Mingyu gracefully came to his side, “You go ahead, leave the rest to me.”

Chu Xuan cast her a grateful glance, then nodded to the women, “Don’t argue, once I finish this major task, I will give you all a proper explanation.”

After saying this, he hurriedly used sword control to leave, Little Snow seeing this was a bit surprised, telepathically asking, “Master, since when did you become so good at this?”

Ji Mingyu ignored it, merely turning around to say, “Come with me, this matter is important, involving how we should interact in the future.”

The women looked at each other. In the end, it was Jiang Yiyi, who loved to watch the drama, who followed first, then Qin Mengyao who needed to return to the sect anyway, and the others, seeing this, had no choice but to follow as well.

On the other side, originally drenched in cold sweat behind his back, Chu Xuan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Luckily, Little Dragon Maiden Xiang’er wasn’t there because the East Sea Dragon Palace had essentially evacuated, fleeing to Wa Shrine for refuge. The people around Xiang’er probably kept her in the dark; she didn’t even know about Chu Xuan’s ordeal.

…

In a quiet side hall of the Cyan Lotus Daoist Palace.

Ji Mingyu led the women there, then seated herself in the main seat. Her right hand propped under her chin, her graceful curves pleasing to the eye, her face showing a lazy look, yet her tone carried an unmistakable authority of a “chief wife.”

“Since you’re in my Chu family, from now on, there should be some rules in handling matters.”

Having experienced many trials and tribulations with Chu Xuan, Ji Mingyu learned to accept reality, no longer solely intent on possessing him, as long as she could be with him forever. Of course, she was determined to be the chief wife, leading to today’s “gathering.”

Her words naturally drew dissatisfaction from the women, with Qing’er being the first to stand out, sarcastically saying:

“Oh wow, such a big temper from sister~”

Ji Mingyu wasn’t provoked by her, remaining calm as she said, “Since you’re willing to call me sister, whether sincerely or hypocritically, I accept you as a sister.”

With that, she glanced at the others, “You all must call me sister as well, just like her.”

Chu Xuan’s harem certainly wasn’t weak, Qin Mengyao coldly huffed, turning to leave without even looking back.

With her departure, the others, unable to outmatch Ji Mingyu, had to either stay and argue or leave.

Ultimately, only the strong-willed Qin Mengyao left, while most stayed to scheme with Ji Mingyu.

Qingqing and Gu Haitang, according to their original agreement, united against outside forces, casting defiant looks at Ji Mingyu.

Although Pei Shurou seemed gentle and weak, she was not one to admit defeat easily; Madam Yinhe often comforted her recently, making their relationship relatively close, and she stood with her now.

Madam Yinhe, following Qing’er, was the second to mock Ji Mingyu: “You want me to call you sister? Can you compare to me? Can you give Chu Xuan a child like I did?”

Ji Mingyu, annoyed, said, “Shut up. It’s just one daughter, and you’re always talking about it. Chu Xuan promised to have a brood with me.”

Watching the women verbally spar and tussle, Jiang Yiyi was thoroughly entertained. She felt slightly regretful that the junior sister was barred by Ji Mingyu from entering, missing such a fun spectacle.

So Jiang Yiyi secretly recorded it all, planning to play it later for her and Chu Xuan to watch.
