48: Chapter 48 Daily Showdown: Yandere Goddess VS Cold and Aloof Palace Master

The golden carriage crossed the sea of clouds, flying steadily toward the Eastern Wasteland.

Although the astral winds outside were piercingly cold, the interior of the carriage was as warm as spring, even carrying a faint, intoxicatingly sweet fragrance.

This should have been a pleasant return journey.

But at this moment, Xu Chen, sitting in the center of the soft couch, sensed a "killing intent" more subtle than that of the Far North Ice Plains.

Two stunning beauties snuggled beside him on his left and right, appearing like a beautiful picture of domestic bliss, but in reality, the air was thick with the scent of "green tea."

"Husband, open your mouth."

Jiang Liuli extended her slender jade fingers, holding a freshly peeled Purple Jade Grape to Xu Chen's lips.

Her watery eyes were full of tenderness, and her voice was so soft it could practically drip with sweetness.

"This is a spiritual fruit I specifically nurtured using the Jiang Family's secret methods; it is most nourishing. Husband has worked hard on this journey, so you must eat more."

Xu Chen was just about to open his mouth.

Bai Ningbing, on the right, suddenly gave a light chuckle.

"Sister is truly attentive."

With a slight swirl of cold energy in Bai Ningbing's hand, a cup of chilled spiritual wine emitting a crisp fragrance appeared in her palm.

She brought the wine cup to Xu Chen's lips. Though her tone was cold, it carried an undeniable allure.

"However, Husband possesses a Pure Yang Body and has vigorous internal fire. While these grapes are good, they are somewhat cloyingly sweet and heating."

"In my opinion, it's better to drink a cup of my 'Ten-Thousand-Year Ice Soul Wine' to cool down. This is a vintage treasure from my Ice God Palace, aged for a thousand years; usually, I can't even bear to drink it myself."

Two pairs of beautiful eyes stared at Xu Chen simultaneously. Although smiles were plastered on their faces, the competitive undercurrent of "choose me or her" in their eyes could not be hidden.

The corner of Xu Chen's mouth twitched slightly.

Is this the legendary Shura Field?

They had just met less than half a day ago, and they were already starting to "vie for favor"?

"Cough, cough."

As a "master of balancing the scales," Xu Chen naturally knew he couldn't show favoritism at a time like this.

He first leaned forward and bit the grape in Jiang Liuli's hand, incidentally taking her fingertip into his mouth and sucking lightly. This caused Jiang Liuli's pretty face to flush red, and she gave him a coy, reproachful glare.

"Mmm, so sweet. Liuli really understands me best."

Immediately afterward, he seamlessly turned his head and, using Bai Ningbing's hand, drained the cup of Ice Soul Wine in one gulp.

"Excellent wine! Refreshing to the core! Ningbing's skill is also impeccable."

"As the saying goes, 'Fine wine in luminous cups, paired with grapes.'"

"Now I have fine wine, grapes, and two precious wives who are more valuable than any luminous cup."

"I wouldn't trade this life for that of an immortal."

This speech praised them both and dissolved the awkwardness; it was a textbook-level response.

The two women glanced at each other, both seeing a trace of helplessness in the other's eyes.

This man was far too slick.

However, the contest did not end there.

Jiang Liuli's eyes darted around, and she suddenly covered her chest, her brow furrowing as she let out a very, very faint cough.

"Cough, cough..."

Her body went limp as she slumped into Xu Chen's arms. That pitiful appearance was enough to break anyone's heart.

"Husband... perhaps the carriage was moving too fast just now. My body has only just recovered, and I can't quite handle the jolting..."

"My chest... feels a bit tight."

She grabbed Xu Chen's hand and pressed it against her heart, which, though not as grand in scale as Bai Ningbing's, was beautifully shaped. She looked at him with a dazed expression.

"Could Husband... help me massage it?"

This move of "showing weakness" was Jiang Liuli's trump card.

She knew well that men had a protective instinct, especially toward a "weak woman" like her who had just recovered from a serious illness; they were simply defenseless against it.

Sure enough, Xu Chen's gaze softened, and he quickly pulled her closer, his large hand covering that soft spot and gently applying pressure.

"It was my oversight."

"Dark Elder! Drive more steadily! Can't you see the Young Mistress is uncomfortable?"

Xu Chen shouted outside and then lowered his head to kiss Jiang Liuli's forehead. "Do you feel better?"

Jiang Liuli nuzzled into his chest, the corners of her mouth curling into a triumphant arc, and she even gave Bai Ningbing a pointedly provocative look.

It was as if she were saying: See, Husband still cares for me the most.

Watching this scene, a flash of defiance appeared in Bai Ningbing's eyes.

If it came down to "weakness," she, a Dao Severing King, certainly couldn't compete with the "sickly" Jiang Liuli.

But...

She had her own advantages.

"Sister's body is indeed a bit too weak; you should exercise more in the future."

Bai Ningbing spoke indifferently, then stood up. Her snow-white palace dress outlined her breathtaking S-shaped curves.

She walked behind Xu Chen and placed her long, jade-like hands on his shoulders.

"Husband, although you displayed divine might in that battle at the Ice Palace, you must be somewhat weary."

"I learned a set of 'Ice Massage Techniques' in the palace; it's best for soothing the muscles and eliminating fatigue."

As she spoke, her fingers began to apply pressure.

A perfectly measured coolness seeped through her fingertips into Xu Chen's muscles. The invigorating sensation caused Xu Chen to let out a comfortable sigh.

Furthermore, because of her position...

Bai Ningbing's proud "waves" were intentionally or unintentionally brushing against the back of Xu Chen's head and neck.

That soft, heavy sensation was more lethal than any actual massage.

"Husband, is this pressure... alright?"

Bai Ningbing leaned down, her red lips close to Xu Chen's ear, her breath like orchids.

This move of "seduction" dealt a direct critical hit to Xu Chen.

Jiang Liuli's face instantly puffed up like a steamed bun.

Good heavens!

This woman from the Ice Palace looked cold as ice, but her methods were actually so "shameless"?!

She was going straight for physical confrontation, wasn't she?

"Husband~"

Not to be outdone, Jiang Liuli wrapped herself around Xu Chen like an octopus, her small hands restlessly sliding downward.

"Since Little Sister is so good at massaging, I can't stay idle either."

"Let me help Husband... check his body?"

"Hiss—"

Xu Chen sucked in a breath of cold air.

On one side was a gentle trap from behind, and on the other was a sweet bomb in his arms.

How was this a Shura Field?

This was clearly a den of tenderness, a hero's grave!

But who was Xu Chen?

He was a cheater with a system, a man determined to conquer three thousand beauties.

If he couldn't even handle these two women, how could he manage in the future?

"Enough!"

Xu Chen suddenly reached out, grabbing Jiang Liuli's straying small hand while simultaneously reaching back to pull Bai Ningbing into his arms as well.

The three of them tumbled together.

Xu Chen pinned the two women beneath him, his eyes burning as he looked at them.

"You two, do you have too much energy?"

"Since you're not tired and don't want to rest..."

A wicked smile curled on Xu Chen's lips as he gently lifted both their chins with his fingers.

"Then let's do something more meaningful."

"It's also a good chance for you to improve your sisterly bond."

"Something more meaningful?"

Jiang Liuli and Bai Ningbing were both stunned for a moment, then seeing the familiar flame in Xu Chen's eyes, they instantly understood what he wanted to do.

Both women's faces turned beet red.

"Husband... we are in the carriage..."

"What's wrong with the carriage?"

Xu Chen said righteously, "This carriage comes with its own Isolation Formation. Even if those dragons outside stared their eyes out, they wouldn't see a thing."

"And..."

Looking at the two stunning women beneath him—different in style but equally breathtaking—Xu Chen's desire for conquest completely exploded.

"I want to see if the Jiang Family Divine Maiden and the Ice Palace Empress added together..."

"Can withstand the power of my 'Longevity Art'."

"Ah!"

"Bad man!"

Accompanied by two shy cries, the curtains inside the carriage slowly fell.

The smell of gunpowder that had originally filled the air was instantly transformed into a different, more passionate, and more primal aura.

Jiang Liuli's softness and compliance.

Bai Ningbing's cold elegance and its contrast.

In this narrow space, they wove together into an exquisite movement.

Xu Chen used practical action to prove a truth:

There is no Shura Field that a session of "family discipline" cannot resolve.

If there is, then make it two sessions.

...

Three days later.

When the golden carriage passed through layers of mist and finally arrived at the Eastern Wasteland's borders.

The atmosphere inside the carriage had undergone an earth-shaking change.

The previous overt and covert fighting was gone.

Jiang Liuli and Bai Ningbing were snuggled together, calling each other "Sister," as affectionate as long-lost biological sisters.

And between them.

Xu Chen sat cross-legged with a refreshed expression, his aura thick and powerful. Clearly, these few days of "traveling" had not only failed to tire him but had instead made his newly broken-through Dao Severing King realm even more stable.

"Husband, Changshang Island is just ahead, right?"

Jiang Liuli lifted the curtain, looking at the distant immortal island suspended high in the heavens, surrounded by purple qi, her eyes full of shock and anticipation.

"Naturally."

Xu Chen nodded with a smile, a trace of the joy of returning home flashing in his eyes.

"Finally back."
