343: Chapter 343 Full Moon Celebration: The Daily Life of the Arrogant Dragon and Phoenix Showing Off Their Baby

The midday sun filtered through the carved window lattices, spilling into the spacious and bright banquet hall of the Xu Family's inner courtyard.

Today, the banquet hall had shed its usual solemn and stern atmosphere of a meeting room, decorated instead with festive joy.

In the center of the hall stood a massive round table carved from a single piece of Purple Sinking Wood, piled high with delicacies that emitted an enticing luster of Spiritual Qi.

Xu Chen changed into a set of dark gold casual robes and walked into the hall with composed steps.

The hall was filled with the sounds of beautiful women and waves of fragrant scents.

The many beauties of the Xu Family were all dressed in their finest attire today.

The dignified and steady Su Qingge sat beside the main seat, whispering something to the pregnant Wu Mingkong.

The white-clad Bai Ningbing sat with the yandere beauty Jiang Liuli, quietly sipping immortal tea. The valiant and heroic Nangong Waner was curiously poking at the spiritual fruits in a fruit platter.

Seeing Xu Chen enter, the women stopped their conversations one after another, their eyes shimmering with smiles as they looked toward their husband.

However, the absolute protagonists of today's inner banquet were the two tsundere queens sitting on either side of Xu Chen's exclusive main seat.

Long Aoxue wore an ice-blue palace dress, and the pair of crystal-clear dragon horns atop her head looked particularly playful.

In her arms, she held a fair and chubby baby boy.

This little fellow had perfectly inherited his mother's Dragon Clan Bloodline; two ice-blue dragon markings flickered faintly on his forehead, and a pair of dark, round eyes looked around excitedly while his small hands waved non-stop, possessing startling strength.

On the other side of the main seat, Feng Jiuyou was dressed in a fiery red, luxurious feather robe, with a seductive phoenix-tail floral mark between her brows.

She held a baby girl as exquisite as carved pink jade. The baby girl's skin had the warm luster of mutton-fat jade as she snuggled quietly in her mother's arms, her small hands actually playing with a wisp of weak but pure Nirvana Fire.

These two little ones had just reached their full moon, yet the Spiritual Qi fluctuations they emitted were already no weaker than an ordinary Sea Wheel Realm Cultivator.

Xu Chen walked to the main seat and sat down, his deep eyes filled with the joy and tenderness of a father.

“Husband, look at our Long'er!”

Seeing Xu Chen sit down, Long Aoxue immediately presented the baby boy in her arms like a treasure, her delicate chin tilting slightly up with an irrepressible pride in her tone.

“He’s only just a month old, and Long'er can already crush third-tier spiritual Ore with his bare hands. With this bone structure and strength, he’ll definitely be a peerless hero who can shatter stars with a single punch in the future! Those fancy Spells are simply vulnerable in the face of absolute power!”

Long Aoxue had always advocated the aesthetics of violence; seeing her son so robust, she felt incredibly satisfied.

Hearing this, Feng Jiuyou, sitting opposite, raised her beautiful phoenix eyes slightly and let out a disdainful snort.

“Shattering stars with a punch? That is merely the conduct of a brute!”

Feng Jiuyou lifted the baby girl in her arms slightly higher, a look of tsundere pride appearing on her noble and cold face.

“Our Feng'er is the true peerless Prodigy. She inherited the purest Nirvana True Fire of my Nine Nether Divine Phoenix Clan! Last night, this little girl sneezed in her sleep and burned a hole straight through that thousand-year-old cold jade bed, and not a single strand of her hair was harmed. This kind of fire-control talent is unique even in the entire Upper Realm. Do you understand what Bloodline suppression means?”

“What do you know! Breaking all Laws with strength is the true way!” Long Aoxue retorted, her eyes wide.

“Crude. True experts have always won without shedding blood, incinerating the eight wastes with Laws.” Feng Jiuyou struck back without yielding an inch.

The other women in the hall watched this scene, covering their mouths as they chuckled softly.

Sitting in the middle, Xu Chen listened to the “child-boasting war” between these two rivals. Instead of finding it noisy, he felt this domestic atmosphere was exceptionally warm.

He did not judge who was right or wrong.

Xu Chen rolled up his sleeves and reached out his large hands, skillfully picking up two bright red Deep Sea Overlord Spiritual Shrimps from a jade plate on the table.

His slender fingers moved swiftly, stripping away the hard shrimp shells in just a few motions.

Xu Chen dipped the crystal-clear shrimp meat into a special sauce and turned toward the two beauties who were about to continue their bickering.

“Come, open your mouths.”

With a dominant tone that brooked no refusal, Xu Chen directly stuffed the two pieces of fresh shrimp meat into the red lips of Long Aoxue and Feng Jiuyou.

The two women were silenced by this sudden feeding and instinctively began to chew, the sweet Spiritual Qi instantly exploding in their mouths.

“They are both my good children and both peerless prodigies. What is there to argue about?”

Xu Chen took the opportunity to pinch Long Aoxue’s supple cheek, then leaned over to blow softly into Feng Jiuyou’s white earlobe, making the noble Divine Phoenix Clan Chief tremble all over.

“Today is the children's full moon banquet; you two great contributors are the ones who worked the hardest.”

Xu Chen picked up a silk handkerchief and unhurriedly wiped his hands, his gaze sweeping wantonly over the two women’s curves, which had become even more voluptuous and alluring due to childbirth.

“Eat more shrimp to nourish your bodies. Once you’ve fully recovered, we’ll have to keep working hard to add another pair next year. After all, with my Physique, it would be a waste not to have a few more.”

These slightly teasing and suggestive words instantly made the two tsundere queens blush furiously.

“Who wants to add another pair with you! You rogue!” Long Aoxue gave him a shy, annoyed glare and moved aside with the child, but her eyes were filled with a satisfied smile.

“Husband only knows how to talk nonsense, aren't you afraid of being laughed at by the sisters?” Feng Jiuyou’s cheeks were also slightly warm as she scolded him in a low voice.

Their attention was successfully diverted by Xu Chen, and the smell of gunpowder at the dinner table vanished instantly, replaced by thick sweetness and warmth.

Sitting below the main seat, Su Qingge watched Xu Chen’s smooth “balancing” act, a look of appreciative amusement appearing on her dignified face.

“Husband is right. Sister Aoxue and Sister Jiuyou have indeed worked hard and achieved much. This cup of immortal brew, Qingge toasts to you both.”

Su Qingge picked up the jade cup before her and raised it elegantly, her poise as the primary wife fully on display.

For a time, the hall was filled with laughter and joy, in perfect harmony.

The banquet continued until the Hour of the Goat before gradually dispersing.

The wet nurses carefully carried the sleeping dragon-phoenix twins back to their exclusive nursery. The various beauties also departed, either returning to Cultivate or going to the back garden for a walk to digest.

The hall gradually grew quiet.

Xu Chen watched Su Qingge as she directed the maids to clear the remains of the feast, his eyes flickering slightly.

From his expedition to the foreign realms to his triumphant return, this primary wife had managed the entire Xu Family harem in an orderly fashion, even soothing the newly subdued Helian Yue into complete compliance.

Xu Chen had always taken note of her virtue and hard work.

He stood up and walked straight behind Su Qingge.
