23: Chapter 23: Warning of a Shura Field? The Saintess Battles the Demon Queen

At Changshang Immortal Island, purple Qi surged grandly.

The Cloud-Piercing Shuttle, forged from Void Divine Gold, did not keep a low profile like it did upon arrival; instead, it passed through the ancestral protection array with great fanfare and slowly landed on the white jade square in front of Hall of Eternal Life.

At this moment, the square was already crowded with people.

The Great Elder, leading a group of high-level family members, craned his neck in anticipation. The scene was even more grand than receiving an Emperor's decree.

After all, the Young Master had gone out this time to "stock up."

It was said that not only did he bring back countless heavenly treasures, but he also abducted... oh no, married a new bride with an astounding identity.

"They're here, they're here!"

As the flying boat's hatch opened, the Great Elder's excited voice even changed pitch.

Under the gaze of everyone, Xu Chen held Luo Hongyi's hand and stepped slowly off the flying boat.

Today, Luo Hongyi had deliberately restrained her heart-palpitating demonic aura. She wore a black and gold long dress, which preserved the majesty of an Empress while not losing the dignity of a wife.

However, the hand held by Xu Chen was covered in sweat.

This Demon Empress, who killed without blinking in the Western Desert, was actually as nervous as a young girl getting into a bridal sedan for the first time.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here."

Xu Chen felt her stiffness, lightly scratched her palm with his finger, and transmitted his voice, "Show the same momentum you had when you kidnapped me."

Luo Hongyi gave him a frustrated roll of her eyes.

When I kidnapped you, you were a fat sheep. Now we're back at your base and I have to meet the primary wife. Can it be the same?

Just as she was thinking.

The gates of Hall of Eternal Life slowly opened.

A beautiful figure dressed in a loose, moon-white palace gown, supported by her maid Xiao Tao, slowly walked out.

It was Su Qingge.

Although she was only two months pregnant and her abdomen hadn't noticeably bulged yet, her cold aura now carried a hint of gentle maternal radiance.

Standing on the steps, she quietly looked at the perfect couple below.

Especially when her gaze landed on Luo Hongyi, the air seemed to freeze in that instant.

On one side was the Tai Chu Saintess, pure as ice and clean as jade, representing the ultimate of the Righteous Path.

On the other side was the Demon Sect Empress, enchanting and domineering, representing the peak of the Demonic Path.

Ice and Fire.

Righteous and Demonic.

These two completely different auras collided in the void, as if invisible electric sparks were crackling.

The surrounding elders held their breath, not daring to make a sound.

Is this the legendary Shura Field?

If these two young grandmothers started fighting, whom should they help?

"It's over, it's over. The Young Master is probably going to crash this time." The Great Elder broke into a cold sweat for Xu Chen in his heart.

Xu Chen, however, looked calm, even having the mood to admire the confrontation between these two peerless beauties.

He let go of Luo Hongyi's hand, walked quickly up the steps, and naturally reached out to support Su Qingge's other arm.

"The wind is strong outside, why did you come out?"

Xu Chen's tone was gentle, his eyes full of doting.

Su Qingge glanced at him, her autumn-water eyes carrying a look that was half-smiling yet not.

"Husband has been gone for half a month, and as soon as he returns, he gives Qingge such a big surprise."

"If I didn't come out, I'm afraid Husband would have torn down this Hall of Eternal Life to rebuild it, right?"

There was a hint of sourness in those words.

Xu Chen chuckled and didn't defend himself, just leaned into her ear and whispered:

"Tearing it down to rebuild it would be to give you all a better home."

"Besides, I've brought back a good helper for you this time."

Saying this, Xu Chen turned around and beckoned to Luo Hongyi at the bottom of the steps.

"Hongyi, why are you still dazed? Come up and meet Sister."

This "Sister" immediately established their ranks.

Luo Hongyi took a deep breath, suppressing the nervousness in her heart.

She was the Demon Sect Empress, daring to love and hate. Since she had already committed to Xu Chen, she could handle this kind of scene.

She lifted her skirt, moved with lotus steps, and walked up the stairs.

When she stood before Su Qingge, she didn't show any arrogance or defiance; instead, she retracted all her sharp edges and bowed gracefully to Su Qingge.

"Luo Hongyi greets Sister."

Her attitude was respectful and impeccable.

Su Qingge looked at the woman before her who outshone all others.

Although she was mentally prepared, seeing her in person, she was still shocked by the other's innate allure.

Is this the Demon Empress from the Western Desert?

She truly is a stunning beauty.

No wonder Husband fell for her.

"Sister, there's no need for such formalities."

Su Qingge didn't put on the airs of a primary wife; instead, she reached out and gave her a light support.

"Since you've entered the Xu Family's doors, we'll be sisters from now on."

"Husband usually has a flighty temperament, so I'll have to trouble Sister to keep a closer eye on him in the future."

These words were generous and appropriate, instantly diffusing the originally tense atmosphere.

The surrounding elders sighed in relief, their eyes filled with admiration as they looked at Su Qingge.

As expected of someone from a Saintess background; this magnanimity and poise were unparalleled!

Luo Hongyi also felt a warmth in her heart.

She had originally worried about being made things difficult for her, but she didn't expect Su Qingge to be so easy to talk to.

"Sister, you're too kind."

Luo Hongyi took out a jade box emitting a scorching aura from her storage ring and presented it to Su Qingge with both hands.

This is the 'Ten-Thousand-Year Earth Core Fire Lotus' that Husband took me to find in Burning Heaven Valley."

"This Fire Lotus has been refined by me using a secret method to remove the fire toxins, leaving only the purest fire-type essence."

"I heard from Husband that Sister is carrying a Chaos Body; this item is most suitable for stabilizing the pregnancy and building the foundation."

"Consider it... a small meeting gift for my little nephew."

Su Qingge looked at the jade box; even through the seal, she could feel the terrifying vitality and heat contained within.

Ten-Thousand-Year Earth Core Fire Lotus!

This is a legendary Saint Medicine!

For this thing, they actually leveled Burning Heaven Valley?

Su Qingge looked up, glanced at Luo Hongyi, and then at Xu Chen, who had a face begging for praise. The last bit of jealousy in her heart vanished.

She took the jade box, a genuine smile appearing on her face.

"Sister, you're very thoughtful."

"This gift is too precious, so I'll accept it on behalf of the child."

As she spoke, Su Qingge took the initiative to hold Luo Hongyi's hand.

One cold, one hot.

Two completely different body temperatures met in their palms, yet there was no repulsion; instead, there was a strange sense of harmony.

"Come, let's go inside and talk."

"Ignore this bad man; let him stay out here in the wind by himself."

Su Qingge pulled Luo Hongyi and turned directly into Hall of Eternal Life, leaving Xu Chen alone on the steps.

"Eh?"

Xu Chen rubbed his nose, looking at the intimate backs of the two women, somewhat between laughter and tears.

Just like that... they've formed an alliance?

Wasn't there just a Shura Field warning?

How did I become the outsider in the blink of an eye?

"Young Master! Brilliant! Truly brilliant!"

The Great Elder came running over obsequiously, giving a thumbs up with a face full of admiration. "This art of harem management is truly beyond my reach!"

"Two S-rank beauties can actually get along so harmoniously. Young Master, your skill in managing wives is even more unfathomable than your cultivation!"

Xu Chen glanced at him sideways and shook his head with feigned depth.

"Great Elder, this is what you don't understand."

"This isn't called wife-managing skill; it's called winning people over with virtue."

"Besides..."

Xu Chen looked at the two beautiful figures inside the hall, a meaningful smile curling at the corners of his mouth.

"Their relationship is good now because the time hasn't come yet."

"When night comes..."

"Hmph hmph, that will be the time for me to defeat them one by one."

...

Night fell.

Inside Hall of Eternal Life, the lights were brightly lit.

Su Qingge and Luo Hongyi were sitting on a warm couch, sharing some intimate talk.

Friendships between women are sometimes established very quickly, especially when they share the same man and that man is particularly "bad."

"Sister, you have no idea how that bastard kidnapped me back then..."

Luo Hongyi was vividly recounting Xu Chen's "evil deeds," making Su Qingge cover her mouth and giggle, her eyes rippling.

Just then.

With a "creak."

The door to the Bedchamber was pushed open.

Xu Chen, who had just finished bathing and was wearing a loose bathrobe with his hair still wet, walked in.

He gave off a pleasant fragrance, the scent of the unique spiritual spring water from Changshang Island.

Seeing Xu Chen enter, the two women who were chatting stopped abruptly.

The atmosphere suddenly became somewhat ambiguous.

"What are you talking about? So happy?"

While drying his hair, Xu Chen walked over and sat between the two, putting his arms around both of them quite naturally.

"We're talking about Husband's great achievements."

Su Qingge gave him a half-smiling glance. "I heard that in the Western Desert, Husband bullied the Demon Empress quite badly."

"I've been wronged!"

Xu Chen cried out, "She made the first move! I was acting in self-defense!"

"Bah! You call that self-defense?"

Luo Hongyi's face turned red, and she pinched him. "Who defends themselves all the way into bed?"

"Hahaha!"

Xu Chen laughed loudly, took the opportunity to grab Luo Hongyi's hand and kiss it, then turned and kissed Su Qingge's cheek.

"Alright, the reminiscing session is over."

Xu Chen stood up, his eyes burning as he looked at his two lovely wives.

"Hongyi has just arrived and isn't familiar with the family rules yet."

"Qingge, as the primary wife, shouldn't you give Sister a demonstration?"

Su Qingge's cheeks flushed slightly, but she didn't refuse.

She knew what Xu Chen meant.

Although Luo Hongyi had been subdued, she was, after all, a demonic cultivator with wildness in her bones. To truly integrate her into this family, some "rules" had to be established.

And...

Su Qingge glanced at Luo Hongyi's hot figure, and a faint competitive spirit rose in her heart.

Although she was currently pregnant and couldn't engage in overly strenuous exercise, there were some things... she wasn't incapable of doing.

"Husband is right."

Su Qingge slowly stood up and untied the sash of her outer robe.

In that instant, holiness and charm coexisted.

Luo Hongyi's eyes went wide.

Even though she was a woman, she had to admit that once a cold fairy like Su Qingge showed emotion, her lethality was even more terrifying than that of a demoness like herself.

"Sister, watch closely."

Su Qingge walked up to Xu Chen, her jade-like arms wrapping around his neck, and offered her fragrant kiss.

It was an extremely gentle yet possessive kiss.

Xu Chen enjoyed this tenderness, his palms lightly stroking her back.

After a long time, their lips parted.

Su Qingge turned her head, looking at the somewhat dazed Luo Hongyi, a provocative curve curling at the corner of her mouth.

"Have you learned?"

Luo Hongyi took a deep breath.

The demoness's competitive spirit within her was instantly ignited.

"Sister's move is indeed brilliant."

"However..."

Luo Hongyi stood up, and her black and gold long dress instantly slid off, revealing the rule-breaking red gauze garment underneath.

"I also have my own special skills."

Having said that, she directly pushed Xu Chen, taking the initiative to press him down onto the soft couch behind him.

"Husband, tonight... let's try a different way of playing."

Xu Chen lay on the couch, watching this great show of "two women fighting over a husband," and the feeling of satisfaction in his heart simply broke through the heavens.

What is the peak of life?

This is it!
