All Are Our Own People

After giving a like to Brother Zheng, who had spoken up for him, Chen Changsheng saw Yan Qing flying back with a face full of joy.

Judging by her expression, it was obvious she had reaped a bountiful harvest this time.

If he weren't familiar with Yan Qing, he definitely wouldn't have let her have such a good thing. After all, he was someone who could scrape three feet of earth from the Xuanyu Sect.

Did people really think he was that generous?

The corpse of a Golden Core demonic beast could sell for tens of thousands of points in the chat group, couldn't it?

However, in his heart, Yan Qing was already secretly claimed as his own. This was just keeping the wealth within the family, so he didn't mind.

"Done? Then let's go. Senior Crimson Flame is probably getting impatient."

"Mhm!"

Yan Qing nodded happily, then took the initiative to steer the flying boat, continuing their journey toward the Great Yan Kingdom.

Seeing this, Chen Changsheng casually turned off the livestream and looked at Luo Hao beside him.

"Why are you looking at me like that?"

Luo Hao looked at Chen Changsheng in confusion.

"Nothing. It's just that when you meet my other wives, you'll have to obediently call them older sister. Don't throw one of your Godslayer temper tantrums and ruin the peace of my harem."

"What!? Don't even think about it! I will never bow down and play the lesser wife!"

Chen Changsheng sighed inwardly. Luo Hao truly was someone with an incredibly strong sense of pride.

What she cared about wasn't joining his harem, but rather not wanting to be a subordinate wife.

Was it really a good idea to take her in?

However, after looking at Luo Hao's youthful face and her incredibly hot figure, his resolve instantly firmed up.

Seeing Chen Changsheng remain silent, Luo Hao, though not afraid, thought of their previous bet and chose not to stay stubborn. She looked at him with a softened gaze.

"I'm over two hundred years old, can't I be the older sister?"

"Alright, we'll see if you can convince them."

Chen Changsheng shrugged helplessly.

After all, if Luo Hao really wanted to break their agreement, she could just transmigrate back immediately and refuse to open her world to him. He wouldn't be able to do anything about it.

Seeing this, Luo Hao inexplicably breathed a sigh of relief.

She had reigned supreme for over two hundred years. Being able to share a husband with other women was already her limit. Asking her to bow her head and be a lesser wife was truly impossible for her.

Fortunately, Chen Changsheng relented.

Otherwise...

She would have had no choice but to humiliatingly agree.

Yes, even so, her inner pride absolutely wouldn't allow her to tear up the bet.

Even if the bet actually had no binding effect.

Not far away, Yan Qing, who was steering the flying boat, also heard their conversation.

Will I have to call Brother Chen's other wives older sister in the future? Doesn't that mean I'll have many more older sisters?

Wait!? Why do I feel like I'm also going to marry Brother Chen!?

It's all Grandpa's fault! Bafflingly setting up a marriage contract between me and Brother Chen. Brother Chen treats me so well, how could I possibly bring myself to break the engagement?

That's right! It's all Grandpa's fault!

After letting her imagination run wild, Yan Qing threw all the blame onto Patriarch Crimson Flame's head.

...

Chen Changsheng lurked in the chat group, watching Gu Xiaoxiao act like a veteran teaching the newcomers the rules, while simultaneously asking Luo Hao about the details of her world.

A few hours later, Yan Qing steered the flying boat back to the Great Yan Royal Palace.

Patriarch Crimson Flame, who was reminiscing about his past glorious years, saw the two return the way they came after less than half a day, even bringing back another woman.

He also noticed that the unfamiliar woman seemed to exude an aura no weaker than that of a Nascent Soul expert.

Moreover, the displeasure on the stranger's face was practically overflowing.

Could it be Chen Changsheng's woman, who found out I arranged a marriage for him, and came here to cause trouble for me?

"Why are you back again? Did something happen?"

Hearing this, Yan Qing looked at Patriarch Crimson Flame foolishly.

"Ah? Grandpa, you didn't know? I thought Brother Chen told you."

"Told me what?"

"Brother Chen wiped out the Xuanyu Sect."

Patriarch Crimson Flame: ???

Chen Changsheng also looked at Patriarch Crimson Flame and handed over a jade slip and an array disk.

"Senior Crimson Flame, I originally wanted to bring the array directly, but I accidentally used too much force and blew up the grand array. So, I could only bring the array disk and the array formation method."

Patriarch Crimson Flame subconsciously took the two items and probed the jade slip with his divine sense. The next moment, he exclaimed.

"This is the complementary array for the Profound Jade Bell!? A Soul Formation level array!?"

Although he was merely at the Nascent Soul stage and possessed neither the skill nor the financial resources to set up a Soul Formation level array.

However, this was an incredibly rare foundation for the Great Yan Kingdom.

Patriarch Crimson Flame accepted it with extreme satisfaction.

Subsequently, when Chen Changsheng requested to view the Great Yan Kingdom's collection of cultivation methods and secret techniques, he nodded in agreement without hesitation.

Taking half an hour, Chen Changsheng swept through the Great Yan Kingdom's foundations under Luo Hao's envious gaze. Just the cultivation methods and secret techniques alone netted him nearly ten million points.

Boarding the flying boat once again, Yan Qing consciously took over the job of steering it under Patriarch Crimson Flame's complex gaze. The three of them embarked on the journey back to Tianyun City.

...

On the flying boat.

"Luo Hao, you haven't cultivated any techniques from my side yet, right?"

Luo Hao nodded upon hearing this.

"Although the storage bag from before contained basic cultivation methods, they can only be cultivated up to the Foundation Establishment stage. They are useless to me, so I didn't cultivate them."

"In that case..."

Chen Changsheng said, handing a ring to Luo Hao.

"Inside here are all the cultivation methods and secret techniques I've collected over the years. Pick a few Nascent Soul level ones."

"The people from your side have too unbalanced a power set. You are already at the third tier, but your physical fitness is only comparable to an ordinary Golden Core cultivator who practices Qi Condensation. This won't do."

This ring contained all the cultivation methods and secret techniques Chen Changsheng had swept up from over a dozen Golden Core sects in the Great Yan Kingdom, the Xuanyu Sect, the capital, and the Hehuan Sect.

For someone already at the Nascent Soul stage, duplicating this massive amount of cultivation methods and secret techniques posed no great difficulty.

Luo Hao froze for a moment, looking at Chen Changsheng with complex eyes.

She now had some understanding of the cultivation world's system, after all, the shop was full of cultivation methods and secret techniques from the immortal cultivation world.

When bored, she would browse the goods in the shop. Looking at those third-tier cultivation methods and secret techniques that easily cost hundreds of thousands or millions, she had been tempted.

It was just that her pockets were empty, and she couldn't afford them.

However, the meaning behind Chen Changsheng's words now seemed to be that he was preparing to gift her a few sets of third-tier cultivation methods and secret techniques?

One must know that the price of a single set of third-tier cultivation methods and secret techniques was enough to buy most of her Authorities.

Seeing that Chen Changsheng didn't look like he was joking, Luo Hao took a deep breath and received the ring with a complicated state of mind to inspect it.

Because she had been in contact with a storage bag before, she didn't make a fool of herself by not knowing how to use a storage ring.

When she saw the ocean of jade slips inside the storage ring, even she couldn't help but feel a pang of envy in her heart.

Is this the profound heritage of a truly powerful world? For a single individual to possess so many cultivation techniques and secret arts, it completely crushed her entire world in both quantity and quality.

However, she soon suppressed her surging thoughts and began to browse through the Nascent Soul stage cultivation techniques and secret arts that Chen Changsheng had already sorted out for her.

After a long while, three jade slips suddenly appeared in Luo Hao's hands.

"Have you made your choice?"

"Mhm."

Luo Hao nodded gently. She cast a complex gaze at Chen Changsheng and said softly, "Thank you."

"Why are you still being so polite with me?"

Chen Changsheng pulled her in, wrapping an arm around her slender waist.

"Didn't you already lose yourself to me?"

Hearing this, Luo Hao recalled how easily she had handed herself over this time, and her face flushed with a faint blush.

However, compared to before when she was merely held back by her own pride, she no longer felt much resistance toward Chen Changsheng.

Not only did she show no resistance, but she even leaned her body slightly against his chest.

For a woman who had reigned supreme and unrivaled for two hundred years, giving herself to a man who was far stronger than her—and whom she didn't actually dislike—was not an unacceptable outcome.

The only thing she truly minded was that she wasn't the only woman in Chen Changsheng's life.
