Shen Xiao, the third brother, also darkened his expression.
He spoke unhappily, I say, boss, second brother, could you stop being so full of yourselves? Zixuan loves me, and the child in her belly is mine. What does it have to do with you? Ugly people really do make the most mischief!
The fourth brother was not to be outdone either.
Of course, the fifth brother Tang Yin and the sixth brother Wen Liang were also very displeased, while the first, second, and third brothers, who had been interrupted, were equally unconvinced.
Thus, the chaotic brawl among the seven brothers began once again.
Zixuan is my wife. I will marry her with ten miles of red dowry and a grand steed. None of you try to stop me, or do not blame me for showing no mercy!
Bah, Zixuan clearly loves me. The child in her belly must be mine. If you dare to fight me for her again, my cavalry is not to be trifled with.
Mutiny, this is mutiny! You dogs actually dare to have designs on Zixuan? Do not push me, or I will slaughter every last one of you!
...
Amidst the uproar, the trusted soldier who had delivered the message grew even more bewildered.
Knowing a bit of the inside story, he knew this would definitely throw the Seven Righteous Brothers of Chifeng into a mess, but he never expected it to be this chaotic!
Wait, who exactly should Protector Bai marry?
Whose child is it, anyway?
You guys do not actually not know, do you?
And just at the height of the chaos, a voice suddenly rang out from outside the commander's tent, carrying a bit of authority yet also a delicate sweetness, Alright, stop arguing!
The tent flap was lifted.
Revealing a heavily pregnant woman. She was extremely well-maintained; even while carrying a child, her graceful figure was evident. Her exquisite face bore a touch of alluring charm and a natural, rosy flush.
She wore a fresh, emerald-green top with a stand collar and a slanted placket. The cuffs were slightly wide, and the fabric was light and flowing. Paired with a simple hairstyle, it accentuated her fair skin and beautiful features, truly a sight that would inspire tenderness in anyone.
When the Seven Righteous Brothers of Chifeng saw this pregnant woman, their faces all lit up with wild ecstasy.
With a swish, as if they had all teleported, they surrounded the woman, each calling out to her eagerly yet cautiously.
Zixuan, have you come to see me?
Zixuan, I knew I was the one you loved most in your heart, traveling thousands of miles just to see me.
All of you get lost. Zixuan clearly came to see me. Zixuan, tell them, did you not come specifically for me?
Zixuan, hurry up and say it. I am actually the father of the child in your belly, and you came to marry me, right?
No, the child is mine! The child in Zixuan's belly is mine!
...
The Seven Righteous Brothers of Chifeng lost their composure once again.
The noise that had just barely died down instantly boiled over again, leaving the messenger soldier completely helpless. He hurriedly excused himself and left; otherwise, his ears were truly going to explode.
Meanwhile, Protector Bai, Bai Zixuan, could not help but darken her expression.
The subtle change on her face was more effective than a military order from Lin Zixiao when he was around. The noisy Seven Righteous Brothers of Chifeng instantly shut their mouths.
Inside the commander's tent, the atmosphere shifted from extreme chaos to absolute silence, then to chaos again, and back to silence, constantly changing in a short period of time.
Protector Bai, Bai Zixuan, sighed softly.
She said, Could we...
Please stop saying things like who is the child's father.
Alright?
Can you all bury this anticipation and love you have for me and the child deep in your hearts?
Turn your open fighting into secret care!
You can take care of me, and take care of the child.
But just stop fighting over who the child's father is!
This child is mine.
And also yours.
Your chances with me and the child are all equal.
Pausing, Bai Zixuan's tone turned somewhat stern.
None of you should even think about stealing the spotlight all for yourselves!
Bai Zixuan herself felt these words were a bit harsh, and her tone immediately softened. More smiles appeared on her face, and every frown and smile held a bit more of a nation-toppling beauty.
Do not bicker over who the child's father is anymore, okay?
Unfortunately, Bai Zixuan's military order to the Seven Righteous Brothers of Chifeng failed at this moment, just like Lin Zixiao's military orders to them had.
The eldest brother, Xiao Lie, roared in agitation.
I am the child's father! I have the right to know! I want to take responsibility!
I must take responsibility!
The second brother, Cheng Shu, stepped forward, his face full of unwillingness.
I am! I treat Zixuan the best. The child... no matter whose it is, I will raise it. From now on, I am the child's father!
The third brother, Shen Xiao, the cavalry commander and a former horse bandit, had the most fiery temper. He immediately tried to pull Bai Zixuan away, Zixuan, come with me. I will definitely give all my life's glory to the child. The child will be a Duke in the future. Come with me!
The fourth brother, Su Mo, remained silent for a moment.
But he still said, Zi, Zixuan, I, I...
The fifth brother Tang Yin, the sixth brother Wen Liang, and the seventh brother Zhao Cheng all spoke up one after another, either stopping the ones trying to snatch Bai Zixuan or voicing their loyalty.
To sum it up in one sentence!
The child, the child in Bai Zixuan's belly, whose was it exactly? It did not matter!
What mattered was that they would take responsibility, raise the child, and give everything to the child and Bai Zixuan!
But they had to have her all to themselves!
But how could this scene be what Bai Zixuan wanted?
Bai Zixuan's excited smile faded somewhat, and a stern look reappeared on her face. She shouted loudly, Enough! Enough! Stop fighting, all of you!
You are all the child's fathers, and your chances are equal!
I have decided. The child will acknowledge all of you as godfathers from now on. None of you should even think about fighting over it!
Bai Zixuan's gaze turned sharp once more.
She swept her eyes over the Seven Righteous Brothers of Chifeng and said, I will reiterate this one last time. If anyone dares to go behind my back and secretly fight over this again, I will...
Kick him out of the group!
The power of these words was truly a bit too immense.
The Seven Righteous Brothers of Chifeng, who had just been defying her military orders, instantly lost all their fiery tempers. One by one, they hung their heads, looking like a bunch of quails.
After all, every single one of them was afraid of being kicked out of the group.
Bai Zixuan finally nodded in satisfaction. After all, this was exactly what she wanted. With a slight gesture, the Seven Righteous Brothers of Chifeng immediately transformed into seven gentle and considerate servants, helping Bai Zixuan to the commander's chair.
Bai Zixuan sat down, looking every bit the image of the commander-in-chief of the Lin family army.
She said, My purpose in coming here this time is twofold. First, the child is about to be born, and I want the child to be able to see his godfathers the moment he is born.
Second...
Bai Zixuan narrowed her eyes slightly and said, I have come to decide the life and death of this Great Yu empire!
Although the current Empress does not have deep ties with our Tongxin Alliance, her mother has a tremendous connection with us. In particular, her mother was a close confidante of the Third Palace Master, and was often taught by the Third Palace Master about the concepts of freedom, equality, and love.
It is precisely because of this that the world has gradually reached a situation where everyone can pursue true love.
Therefore, although our Tongxin Alliance is merely a martial arts faction, we all trust and support Her Majesty the Empress. The Empress is a woman, naturally endowed with the capacity to love. Just like our Tongxin Alliance, she hopes that there will be more warriors charging forward for the sake of love throughout the world.
But...
A faint trace of melancholy appeared in Protector Bai's eyes.
"At present, the landscape has shifted."
...
ive and Ruthless] Before his transmigration, Ye Xuan was playing a game called "Severing Emotions to Attain the Dao." The game's core wasn't about leveling up by fighting monsters, but about conquering various "bad women" with wicked personalities and cold, fickle natures. There was only one method to conquer them: stay unwaveringly by their side, then die at a critical moment, driving them to madness after losing the protagonist. The higher their level of regret, the higher the player's score. To dominate the server, Ye Xuan conquered all the bad women. In the early stages, he showered them with boundless tenderness, only to choose to sacrifice himself for them later, making them weep bitterly and drown in regret. Among them were: Xia Lengyue, the unfaithful immortal wife who chased after powerful men and discarded her husband like trash. Ye Qingcheng, the Demonic Venerable of the Joyous Union Sect, who appeared pure and innocent but was, in reality, promiscuous. Wu Lingxiao, the Empress of the Great Xia Dynasty, who lusted after men and loved maintaining a harem. Bai Qiangu of the Endless Demonic Sect: a bloodthirsty mass murderer. However, when the protagonist transmigrated into the game world, he made a horrifying discovery. Eight hundred years had already passed. The bad women he had conquered had now each become deities and revered ancestors. Faced with the endless stream of toxic women coming for him, Ye Xuan could only rely on his god-tier acting skills to carve a path of survival through this world of treacherous women.
