298: Chapter 298 Relocation of the Entire Family: A Grand Gathering of the Imperial Harem

Inside the silver spatial tunnel, light and shadow intertwined, and the passage of time became blurred and indistinct.

For ordinary people, even a Saint would be ground to dust by the terrifying turbulent flows of Law while traversing the Void Realm without specific Magic Treasures for protection. However, within Xu Chen's stable cross-domain grand array, it was as if walking on level ground.

Xu Chen even specifically used Saint King-level Hongmeng Origin to prop up a purple-gold protective shield, firmly guarding Wu Mingkong, Princess Wu Weiyang, and Mo Han within it, isolating them from even the slightest bump.

"Buzz—"

After an unknown amount of time, the silver light curtain ahead suddenly rippled like water, and Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, so dense it had practically materialized, surged back into the tunnel entrance.

Xu Chen, with a beauty on each arm, stepped out of the spatial tunnel.

The place they landed was White Jade Peak, a mountain in the back of the Xu Family estate whose peak had been leveled off.

As soon as the Great Xia duo's footsteps settled, they subconsciously took a deep breath.

"Is... is this the Spiritual Qi of the Central Plains?"

In Wu Mingkong's narrow phoenix eyes, a flash of unmistakable shock flickered.

As the Great Xia Empress, she had once thought the dragon veins of the Eastern Barrens' imperial Family were already a rare paradise on earth.

But at this moment, with just one breath, the nearly liquid immortal Spiritual Qi surged frantically through her limbs and bones, even causing her cultivation, which had stagnated due to pregnancy, to show signs of slight movement.

Princess Wu Weiyang was even more exaggerated.

The little princess stared with wide, watery eyes, her small mouth slightly agape, blankly gazing at the scene before her.

As far as the eye could see, ninety-nine towering Primordial Divine Mountains floated amidst a sea of clouds, each mountain circled by phantoms of True Dragons and divine Phoenixes. Rivers of stars, formed from gathered top-grade divine source, interlaced and wove between the divine mountains, exuding a suffocatingly terrifying foundation.

This was no mere mortal Family; this was clearly an immortal palace above the Nine Heavens!

"Old Ancestor... your Family is actually so rich..."

Princess Wu Weiyang swallowed hard, her small hand tightly clutching Xu Chen's sleeve, her tone carrying the shock and timidness of someone who hadn't seen much of the world.

"What do you mean 'my' Family? From now on, it's your home too."

Xu Chen laughed and flicked Princess Wu Weiyang's nose, then turned to look ahead.

At the end of the white marble Heaven Rank leading from White Jade Peak to the main hall.

A massive and bustling group of women had already been waiting there for a long time.

The leader was none other than Xu Chen's wedded wife and the first wife of the Xu Family Young Lord, Su Qingge.

Today, she wore a dignified and grand crimson phoenix-patterned gown, her black hair swept up high and adorned with a nine-tailed golden phoenix hair-stick, symbolizing her status as the primary wife.

Though she wore no makeup, her aura—gentle yet authoritative from her long-held high position—was like a top-grade snow lotus blooming in a sea of peonies, overshadowing all the beauty behind her.

To Su Qingge's left stood the hot-blooded, red-clad, and wild Demon Sect Empress Luo Hongyi; to her right was the frost-faced, snow-white-gowned Ice Palace Mistress, Bai Ningbing.

Further back stood the yandere goddess Jiang Liuli, Sword Immortal Master Ye Qingwu, the Dan Tower duo Liu Hanyan and Xiao Yu... even the business empress Shang Qingdai, who had only recently submitted, stood in the ranks according to seniority.

At a glance, there were women of all shapes and sizes, both cold and enchanting, encompassing almost all the ultimate beauty in this world.

This scene caused even Wu Mingkong, who was used to great storms, to catch her breath.

She had originally thought that Xu Chen had at most kept a few maidservants in a golden house in the Central Plains. But looking at it now, this wasn't just keeping beauties; he had clearly rounded up all the top peerless Prodigies in the world!

What was more daunting was that among these women, the one with the lowest cultivation was a Half-Saint, and those in the Saint Realm were everywhere!

In comparison, her identity as the proud Empress from the Eastern Barrens didn't seem like much of a rarity in front of these "sisters" with top-tier Physiques and backgrounds.

"What? Does the iron-blooded Empress of the Great Xia Dynasty also have moments of cold feet?"

Xu Chen noticed Wu Mingkong's momentary stiffness. He didn't let go of her waist; instead, he applied a bit of force, pulling her closer into his embrace.

He lowered his head and whispered into Wu Mingkong's ear, "Don't be afraid. My Qingge is a reasonable person. You are carrying my Xu Family's flesh and blood, so you are a legitimate Young Mistress of my Xu Family. If anyone dares to give you a hard time, your husband will spank her for you."

Hearing Xu Chen's words, which were a bit roguish yet full of security, the trace of trepidation in Wu Mingkong's heart instantly vanished for the most part.

She took a deep breath and straightened her back. The aloofness and composure belonging to a ruler returned once again to this Empress.

Xu Chen held the hands of Wu Mingkong and Princess Wu Weiyang, led Mo Han, and descended the steps.

Arriving at the front of the group, Su Qingge took the first step forward.

She didn't put on any airs of the primary wife, but instead took the initiative to welcome them. Her eyes, gentle as water, swept over the protruding bellies of Wu Mingkong and Princess Wu Weiyang, and then she revealed a heartfelt, gentle smile.

"I presume this is our sister Empress from the Eastern Barrens' Great Xia, and Princess Weiyang?"

Su Qingge bowed slightly, performing a perfect greeting between equals.

"Husband went to the Ancient Battlefield and not only brought back countless treasures but also met two sisters as beautiful as cities and kingdoms. It was my lack of consideration not to bring you both back to the Xu Family earlier to nurse your pregnancies."

These addresses of "sister" were spoken naturally, both establishing her unshakable position as the first wife and giving Wu Mingkong plenty of Face.

This was Su Qingge's cleverness. She knew Xu Chen's character well; as long as it was a woman Xu Chen brought home, as the primary wife, she not only had to accept them but also arrange everything perfectly, never letting the backyard catch fire.

Wu Mingkong was also a smart person.

She could feel the goodwill released by Su Qingge. In the Eastern Barrens, she was the high and mighty Empress, but in the Xu Family, she was just Xu Chen's woman.

"Sister, you overstate it. When I was in the Eastern Barrens, I often heard husband mention your gentleness and virtue. Seeing you today, I feel inferior to your grace."

Wu Mingkong withdrew all her sharp edges, lowered her head slightly, and returned a standard inner-court greeting.

"Weiyang greets Sister Qingge! Greets all the sisters!"

Princess Wu Weiyang on the side was much simpler. This girl was naturally friendly, and seeing so many beautiful sisters, she instantly felt very close to them. she called out to everyone in a clear voice, and her cute appearance immediately drew light laughter from the women.

With the attitudes shown by Wu Mingkong and Princess Wu Weiyang, the originally tense atmosphere of a 'shura field' instantly vanished into thin air.

"Alright, since everyone has met, let's not stand here in the wind."

Xu Chen spoke at the right time, breaking the scene of the women exchanging pleasantries. He stepped forward, naturally putting his arm around Su Qingge's shoulder and giving her a kiss on the cheek.

"Wife, I've brought the people back. How are the preparations at the Internal Affairs Pavilion?"

Being kissed intimately by Xu Chen in front of so many sisters, a blush flew to Su Qingge's cheeks, but she still maintained her dignified demeanor.

"Husband, rest assured. After the Grand Elder sent word, I already had people clean out the 'Star-Plucking Pavilion' and the 'Moon-Embracing Palace'. Those two palaces have the gentlest Spiritual Qi and are close to husband's bedchamber, making them most suitable for Sister Wu and Sister Weiyang to nurse their pregnancies."

As Su Qingge spoke, she turned to the maidservant behind her.

"Xiao Tao, take the two Young Mistresses to their bedchambers to rest. Also, send over the Ten-Thousand-Year Spiritual Jade Porridge brewed by the Medicinal Kitchen."

"Yes, First Young Mistress." Xiao Tao obediently took the order.

Under the maid's guidance, Wu Mingkong and Princess Wu Weiyang walked toward their new bedchambers. Before leaving, Wu Mingkong looked back deeply at Xu Chen; in that gaze, the trepidation of a newcomer was gone, replaced only by a heart full of tenderness and a sense of belonging.

Mo Han also silently followed behind the two women, continuing her duties as a shadow guard.

Having sent off the Great Xia duo, only Xu Chen and the 'old' harem remained on the steps of White Jade Peak.

"Husband really didn't stay idle during this trip to the Ancient Battlefield."

Luo Hongyi crossed her arms, her hot figure outlining a breathtaking curve. She squinted at Xu Chen, her tone carrying a hint of her signature sarcasm.

"An Empress and a Princess. If you had come back a few days later, I'm afraid even the Yao Race Saintess of the Eastern Barrens would have been packed up and brought back by you, right?"

"Ahem, Hongyi, what are you saying?"

Xu Chen rubbed his nose and, without blushing or heart skipping a beat, began his playboy rhetoric.

"Isn't your husband doing this to respond to the Old Ancestor's call? For the prosperity of the Family, I've given my all until my heart stops. Besides..."

Xu Chen suddenly reached out, pulling both Luo Hongyi and the nearby Bai Ningbing into his arms at the same time, lowering his voice near their ears.

"Tonight, I'll go to your place and give you both a private session to compensate you for your loneliness during this time, how about it?"

Hearing this blunt flirting, the tips of Luo Hongyi's ears instantly turned red. She snorted and turned her head away but didn't push Xu Chen's hand away. As for the usually frost-faced Bai Ningbing, even her slender neck was stained with a layer of pink as she nodded slightly.

Watching Xu Chen's practiced balancing act, Su Qingge shook her head helplessly, but her eyes were full of smiles.
