394: Chapter 394 Shocking News! Five More Fiancées?!

A task more important than saving my wife?

Su Chen almost laughed out loud upon hearing this. His mouth twitched a few times, and he eventually let out a scoff that sounded like mockery.

[What kind of international joke is this?]

[To me, nothing in the world is more important than saving my wife right now! This is my only obsession at this moment!]

[You old man, what kind of intoxicating soup are you trying to feed me now?]

Su Chen had already made up his mind. No matter what the old man said, it would go in one ear and out the other; he wouldn't take it to heart at all.

He only wanted to bring his wives back from that damn Netherworld and the Immortal Domain.

However, the words the Eighteenth Ancestor said next were like a bolt of Chaos Divine Lightning with billions of tons of force, striking him right on the crown of his head and leaving him completely stunned.

Su Chen felt a buzzing in his head, his vision went dark, and he nearly lost his footing.

The Eighteenth Ancestor solemnly handed the shimmering Jade Slip to Su Chen, his tone as heavy as if he were entrusting him with the future of the entire world, and the Jade Slip in his hand seemed to carry a weight of thousands of pounds.

"Chener, do you know that the woman in black who escorted you here back then left behind a... backup plan personally set by the Madam, besides entrusting you to us?"

"She said that although the Main Branch met with a great catastrophe, all hope was not lost!"

"Before you were even born, five marriages had already been arranged for you!"

"This Jade Slip contains information on those five women! Although they are in the Immortal Domain and not the Immortal Realm, they are Saintesses and Divine Maidens of the top orthodoxies in the Immortal Domain! They are true Heavens Proud Daughters!"

"Boom—!!!!!"

The Eighteenth Ancestor had just finished speaking.

In Su Chen's mind, it was as if a hundred thousand nuclear bombs had exploded simultaneously!

The terrifying roar echoed in his ears for a long time, causing countless blinding spots to appear before his eyes.

He froze in place like a puppet under a Binding Spell, his eyes wide as copper bells, bulging out, and his mouth open wide enough to fit an egg, his jaw nearly hitting the floor.

He stared blankly at the Eighteenth Ancestor, as if he were experiencing severe auditory hallucinations or had been hit by some immortal spell that caused instant loss of sanity.

He... what did he just say?!

Marriages?!

And there are fucking five of them?!

After a brief, dead silence.

"Pfft—!"

Su Chen almost spat out a mouthful of blood!

His throat felt a metallic sweetness, and he felt as if his heart were being gripped tightly by an invisible hand, which continued to tighten. Every beat brought a tearing pain, nearly causing him a heart attack on the spot! This is fucking murder! Absolute murder!

He pointed at the Jade Slip that was still emitting a "festive" glow—a glow that now seemed incredibly piercing and hideous in his eyes. His fingers were trembling uncontrollably, and he couldn't even speak clearly, his voice filled with extreme terror and a tremor.

"How... how many?!"

"Fi... five?!"

"Old Ancestor! Are... are you joking with me?! You must think I'm not dying fast enough, right?!"

Su Chen's voice became sharp and distorted due to extreme shock and fear! The veins on his forehead bulged, and cold sweat rolled down his cheeks.

He felt like he was going crazy!

Five!

Those are five living women!

And they're fucking Fiancées!

And they're all Saintesses or Divine Maidens! They don't sound easy to deal with at all!

Each one of them is an existence that can stir up trouble and cause turmoil in the Immortal Domain!

Just dealing with the four of them—Liu Ruyan, Ye Linghan, Ling Qingzhu, and Ji Hongxue—already makes him feel like his brain cells are about to die out.

These four are all heavyweight contenders!

Each has a bigger temper than the last, and their methods are increasingly ruthless!

If the four of them were to get together, just thinking about that scene made Su Chen's scalp tingle and his legs go weak!

That would be a literal asura field, a battlefield where it's either you die or I die!

Glinting swords and a bloodbath would be child's play; the truly terrifying thing is the mental torture!

And now look!

He hasn't even settled those few yet! He hasn't even finished coaxing them!

And now five more have appeared out of thin air?!

And it's in the unfamiliar Immortal Domain, without a single helper!

Is this fucking going to save people?! This is clearly going to deliver his head on a platter! It's going to start a harem asura field!

When the time comes, nine women will be quite a show. Caught in the middle, won't he, Su Chen, be torn into eight pieces?! Won't he be drowned in their spit?!

[Holy crap! Holy crap! Holy crap!]

At this moment, Su Chen's heart was overwhelmed by endless fear and despair! His body couldn't help but begin to tremble slightly.

[What kind of bullshit arrangement is this?! Which bastard came up with this ghost of an idea?]

[Is it because they're afraid I'm not playboy enough?! This is trying to drive me to death! This is trying to end my bloodline!]

[The two in the Netherworld haven't been coaxed yet! The one in the Upper Realm hasn't been found! And now five more unexploded bombs have been arranged for me?! And they're all Saintesses of ancient orthodoxies?! This soft rice... it burns the mouth! It's poisonous! It's lethal!]

Su Chen's heart was roaring wildly. He looked at the Eighteenth Ancestor's "kind and amiable" face, which now looked like a demon from Hell, grinning at him.

For the first time, he had the urge to slap him onto the wall so hard he couldn't be peeled off!

You old geezer!

You want me to die! You want to drain me dry!

Seeing Su Chen's pale, swaying appearance as if he had seen a ghost, his body trembling slightly.

Instead of sympathizing, the Eighteenth Ancestor showed a gratified "I understand you" smile, though a flash of hard-to-detect shrewdness quickly crossed his eyes.

He knew in his heart that this little fellow must be crying without tears right now, but he was the only one who could shoulder this "heavy burden."

This was a marriage arranged by the Madam!

He stepped forward and patted Su Chen's stiff shoulder earnestly, his tone as warm as a loving grandfather's.

"Chener, I know you must be very excited and happy right now."

"Suddenly having five Heavenly Immortal-like beauties as Fiancées, anyone would be like you, so happy they're speechless."

Su Chen: "..."

Excited my ass!

Happy my foot!

I'm fucking scared to death, do you know that?!

My heart is about to jump out, and my soul is about to fly away!

Su Chen took a deep breath, so deep it felt like he was draining all the air from his lungs, forcefully suppressing the urge to curse. Every word seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth, carrying endless struggle and despair as he gritted his teeth and said, "Old Ancestor, I... can I... refuse?"

When he asked this, even his voice had a slight, imperceptible tremor, fearing he would hear an answer that would make him collapse in the next second.

"Refuse?"

Hearing this, the smile on the Eighteenth Ancestor's face instantly vanished, replaced by a look of deep distress, as if Su Chen had said something incredibly rebellious, feeling worse than if he were killed.

He stomped his foot hard and looked at Su Chen with disappointment.

"Chener! How can you have such dangerous thoughts?!"
