Yan Qing

Returning silently to the Cultivation World, Chen Changsheng did not attract anyone's attention.

Only the four women in the backyard of the Chen family knew he had returned.

Well, these four women were the sisters Mu Bing'er and Mu Xue'er, along with Lu Ling'er and Yan Qing.

Mu Qingling and Bai Rongrong had long since returned to the Luminous Jade Palace. After all, such a large sect still needed Mu Qingling to preside over it.

"Husband! You're finally back!"

As soon as the sisters Mu Bing'er and Mu Xue'er saw Chen Changsheng, they couldn't wait to grab him, each clinging tightly to one of his arms.

Seeing this, Chen Changsheng smiled and held the two women close. He then looked at Lu Ling'er, who was standing to the side with a joyful expression. Tightening his right arm around Mu Bing'er, he waved Lu Ling'er over.

Seeing this, Lu Ling'er walked over with a pretty face full of shyness and was similarly pulled into Chen Changsheng's embrace.

Only then did Chen Changsheng smile and speak.

"During my trip this time, your husband prepared a special gift for each of you. How are you going to thank your husband?"

"Hehe, Bing'er and her sisters will properly thank Husband right now!"

Hearing this, Mu Bing'er smiled sweetly, leaned in, and planted a kiss on Chen Changsheng's cheek. After the kiss, her eyes grew sultry, and her beautiful gaze was filled with anticipation as she looked at him.

Mu Xue'er was much the same.

Even Lu Ling'er, having endured the bitterness of lovesickness for several months, looked at Chen Changsheng with eyes that were both shy and expectant.

Only Yan Qing stood outside the door, looking awkwardly at the four embracing people. She didn't know what to do, yet she was somewhat reluctant to leave.

Noticing this, Mu Bing'er secretly sent a voice transmission to Chen Changsheng. During the time he was away from home, Yan Qing had been helping to manage the Chen family's affairs, top to bottom. She had even secured a lot of resources and benefits for the family, earning the deep respect of the Chen family disciples.

Chen Changsheng had naturally noticed Yan Qing long ago. After briefly comforting the three women, he looked at Yan Qing and said with a smile.

"Qing'er, I've troubled you to take care of the Chen family during this time."

"Big Brother Chen! It's what I ought to do. Besides, Grandpa... No! This is all to thank you for saving Grandpa and giving him such precious things. There isn't much Qing'er can do to repay you, so I can only manage these small matters. I hope Big Brother Chen doesn't mind."

Yan Qing almost let something slip.

Normally, she was the Eldest Princess of the Great Yan Kingdom, fully devoted to cultivation and treating everything with indifference. Yet, whenever she faced Chen Changsheng, her heart would always end up in a tangled mess. Unconsciously, she had even started caring deeply about the Chen family, simply because it was his.

Looking at Chen Changsheng now, she felt an inexplicable joy in her heart, along with a little bit of nervousness.

She wondered if Big Brother Chen had felt her true feelings after all she had done, and whether he would still acknowledge the previous agreement with her sister.

The more she thought about it, the more Yan Qing regretted it.

She wished she could go back to over half a year ago and just seal her own mouth shut.

Watching the micro-expressions constantly shifting on Yan Qing's small face, Chen Changsheng silently eavesdropped with his divine sense and almost laughed out loud.

It seemed that the charm of this Chen was indeed great, completely infatuating this little girl Yan Qing.

Feeling smug in his heart, he patted the three women beside him, signaling them with his eyes to wait for him a moment, and then stepped forward to stand in front of Yan Qing.

"Qing'er, come with me for a moment. I brought a gift for you this time, too."

Seeing Yan Qing look up at him, her pretty face already flushed red with shyness, Chen Changsheng didn't dawdle. He took her hand and led her toward a room.

Seeing this, Bing'er and the other two women exchanged glances, then covered their mouths and let out soft giggles.

...

Inside the room, feeling the warmth radiating from Chen Changsheng beside her, Yan Qing felt as if her heart had leapt into her throat.

She kept her head lowered, not daring to look at him.

Naturally, she didn't see Chen Changsheng's movement as he took out the Ring of Usurpation.

"Qing'er, feel this carefully. This is the gift I prepared for you."

As Chen Changsheng spoke, a fire-attribute divine spark within the Ring of Usurpation was activated. The Godslayer Transformation Ritual began, turning this fire-attribute divine spark into an Authority uniquely hers, in a form that best suited Yan Qing's desires. At the same time, various buffs exclusive to Godslayers were directly bestowed upon her.

Yan Qing only felt a burst of fiery heat within her body. Then, she felt that she had mastered a divine ability, and all aspects of her body had received a significant enhancement. The most important thing was a type of energy distinct from magical power, which she grasped without any hindrance, and surprisingly, this energy did not conflict with her magical power at all.

As the transformation ritual concluded, Chen Changsheng gently stroked Yan Qing's head.

"Qing'er, did you feel that divine ability?"

Hearing this, Yan Qing looked up at Chen Changsheng in excitement. Her eyes were practically dripping with affection as she nodded heavily.

Seeing this, Chen Changsheng continued to explain.

"Once you convert that energy in your body into magical power, you can focus on refining and mastering that divine ability. Whenever you completely master it, you will have obtained a direct ticket to the Soul Formation realm."

"Mhm! Qing'er will listen to everything Big Brother Chen says!"

Yan Qing stared at Chen Changsheng, as if reflecting his entire being in her eyes.

"Big Brother Chen..."

"What's wrong, Qing'er? Is there a problem?"

"No! It's just... Big Brother Chen is so good to Qing'er, but Qing'er doesn't know how to repay you, so... so..."

Yan Qing murmured in a low voice, her pretty face growing increasingly red. But after stammering for a long time, she couldn't bring herself to say anything more.

But Chen Changsheng just smiled gently at this and directly reached out to embrace her slender waist.

"Qing'er, didn't the Ancestor grant us a marriage long ago? As long as you are willing, Qing'er, we can get married. Isn't this what we agreed on before?"

Hearing this, the shyness on Yan Qing's face melted into excitement. Feeling the warmth of Chen Changsheng's embrace, she buried her face directly into his chest, murmuring incredibly softly against him.

"Qing'er will listen to everything Big Brother Chen says..."

...

After instructing Yan Qing to properly refine her Authority, Chen Changsheng walked out of the room with a satisfied look on his face.

As soon as he stepped out, he saw three wives hiding around the corner, with only their three heads poking out.

He couldn't help but smile and look at the three women.

"Alright, now it's your turn."

...

Two months passed in a flash.

During these two months, aside from digesting his gains, Chen Changsheng spent his time alternating between his wives, living an incredibly joyful life.

With his help, his wives easily reached the peak of the Golden Core realm. He believed it wouldn't be long before they all broke through to the Nascent Soul realm.

In fact, in order to bring Mu Qingling to his side, he even helped Bai Rongrong undergo a Godslayer transformation ritual, raising her cultivation to the Great Circle of the Golden Core realm, and then dumped the entire Luminous Jade Palace onto her.

This action practically stunned Bai Rongrong silly.

She had never imagined that simply because he wanted her master to stay by his side, Chen Changsheng would directly elevate her cultivation to the Great Circle of the Golden Core realm. He even let her master a divine ability, making her future cultivation prior to the Soul Formation realm thousands of times easier.

Even after taking over the Luminous Jade Palace for more than half a month, she still hadn't recovered from the shock.

At the same time, a faint trace of envy toward his master and junior sisters suddenly welled up in his heart.
