177: Chapter 177 Late-Night Comfort: You've Worked Hard, Wives

The moonlight was like water, spilling over the magnificent buildings of the Imperial Clan Xu, draping a silent silver veil over the night that had been bustling all day.

Holding Su Qingge's slender waist, Xu Chen did not return directly to his Bedchamber. Instead, he turned and walked toward the courtyard where Jiang Liuli and Ye Qingwu were staying.

"If I don't go take a look, I won't be able to set my mind at ease."

Xu Chen said softly.

Hearing this, a touch of softness flashed in Su Qingge's eyes. She didn't speak, but merely accompanied him in silence.

She knew that although her husband usually looked unscrupulous, he was always serious when it came to doting on his wives.

The two of them restrained their auras and slipped into the room as quietly as thieves.

Inside the room, soft Night-Luminescent Pearls emitted a faint glow.

Jiang Liuli and Ye Qingwu were lying side by side on a large Warm Jade Bed. They were clearly exhausted and had already fallen into a deep sleep.

Beside them, the three little ones were sleeping soundly.

Xu Dao Lin's sleeping posture was the most unrestrained, sprawled out on his back and blowing bubbles. Every breath he took swallowed and exhaled the surrounding spiritual energy.

Xu Linger was curled into a tiny ball like a well-behaved kitten. Occasionally, her eyelashes fluttered slightly, as if she were having a beautiful dream.

As for Xu Changge, even while asleep, his brow was slightly furrowed and his small fists were tightly clenched, as if he were still practicing sword moves in his dreams.

Seeing this scene, Xu Chen's heart was about to melt.

He stood by the bed for quite a while before finally leaning down cautiously to plant a gentle kiss on the foreheads of Jiang Liuli and Ye Qingwu respectively.

"It's been hard on you."

He said silently in his heart.

Then, he tucked the covers in for his two wives, left two bottles of Divine Fluid for nourishing the origin on the bedside table, and then pulled Su Qingge along to retreat as silently as they had come.

...

Walking out of the courtyard, Xu Chen let out a long sigh of relief.

It was the lightness of a burden lifted, and a sense of happiness called 'fulfillment'.

"Finished looking? At ease now?"

Su Qingge looked at him with a half-smile. Under the moonlight, every corner of this primary wife's eyes and brows exuded a moving charm.

"At ease."

Xu Chen chuckled. The saintly glow of a loving father from a moment ago vanished instantly, replaced by a burning gaze known as 'LSP'.

"So now... is it time for me to 'ease' myself a bit?"

His hand gently stroked Su Qingge's waist, his hint full of meaning.

Su Qingge's face turned red, but she didn't feign anger as usual. Instead, she revealed a mysterious smile.

"Don't be in such a hurry, Husband. Tonight... I've also prepared a surprise for you."

"A surprise?" Xu Chen was stunned. "What surprise? Don't tell me you know Transformation Arts?"

"You'll know when you get there."

Su Qingge kept him in suspense and pulled Xu Chen along, quickening her pace.

A moment later.

The two returned to Xu Chen's Bedchamber.

Opening the door, a faint, cold fragrance of winter plum blossoms wafted toward them.

Xu Chen subconsciously looked up and was immediately frozen in place.

Inside the Bedchamber, candlelight flickered.

Besides the familiar bed, there was actually a cold and peerless figure sitting on the soft couch by the window.

She wore an ice-blue gauze dress, her skin whiter than snow, and her temperament was as cold and elegant as a mountain snow lotus. But at this moment, those beautiful eyes held a bit of constraint and shyness as she uneasily twisted the silk handkerchief in her hands.

It was indeed Bai Ningbing.

"Ningbing?"

Xu Chen looked at Su Qingge beside him in surprise. "This is the surprise you mentioned?"

Su Qingge closed the door and set up a sound-isolating barrier. Only then did she let go of Xu Chen and sit down beside Bai Ningbing, taking her hand and smiling.

"Husband was gone for so long this time. Although we were looking after the home, Sister Ningbing missed you dearly as well."

"Plus, with three Mythical Babies added to the family today, we 'sisters' have to give Husband a proper celebration, don't we?"

Hearing this, Bai Ningbing's cheeks turned slightly red, but she still plucked up the courage to look up. Those eyes, usually as cold as frost, were now like melting spring water, brimming with tenderness.

"Husband... it's been hard on you this trip."

"That girl Nianxue was taken by the Ancestor to undergo secluded cultivation these past few days, supposedly to awaken some bloodline. Tonight... no one will come to disturb us."

Hearing these words, how could Xu Chen not understand the intentions of these two wives?

This was clearly a carefully planned 'consolation session'!

It was both to soothe his fatigue from returning from the Central Province and a kind of unspoken romantic play between an old married couple.

"Good! Great!"

Xu Chen was moved, but even more so, he was restless. He walked over and sat between the two women, his left arm around the gentle and dignified Su Qingge and his right arm around the cold and shy Bai Ningbing.

"As the saying goes, a short absence is better than a honeymoon."

"It seems that tonight, I not only have to 'celebrate', but I also have to properly deliver my 'public grain'."

"Husband is talking nonsense again..."

Su Qingge gave a light spit of mock disdain, but her body leaned softly into his embrace.

Although Bai Ningbing didn't speak, she buried her head in the crook of Xu Chen's neck. Her cool body temperature, transmitted through the gauze, happened to neutralize the fire within Xu Chen.

"How can this be nonsense?"

Xu Chen gave a wicked smile, looking at the two beauties in his arms as his gaze gradually deepened.

"Qingge, you are the eldest sister; you should take the lead."

"Bah! Indecent!"

...

The next morning.

When the first ray of sunlight spilled into the room through the window lattice.

Xu Chen opened his eyes, feeling refreshed.

Looking at the two beauties still sleeping beside him with satisfied blushes on their faces, he got up quietly and dressed neatly.

After last night's exercise, his Quasi-Saint Peak cultivation had completely stabilized, and his spirit and energy had reached an unprecedented peak state.

"Whew..."

He pushed open the door, stood on the corridor, and took a deep breath of the morning air.

"A gentle land is good, but one cannot indulge in it forever."

Xu Chen stretched, a sharp light flashing in his eyes.

"The home is settled, and my wives and children have been taken care of."

"Next..."

He looked up toward the distance.

"Soul Hall... Tian Sha List..."
