57: Chapter 57 Anyone else disagree? Come at me all at once, I'm in a hurry to get home and make a baby.

"Young Master Xu... is truly a divine being."

The youth who had asked the question retreated with a face full of worship, as if he had comprehended some incredible great Dao.

But Xu Chen did not feel satisfied because of this.

His eyes, deep as the starry sky, slowly swept across the entire venue once more. This time, his gaze was no longer teasing, but carried a trace of the scrutiny and pressure truly belonging to a powerhouse.

Wherever his gaze landed, whether it was the princes of the Middle Continent's imperial dynasty or the successors of the hidden sects, without exception, they all lowered their proud heads.

Even those faint, indistinct, and originally obscure auras in the void (the guardians of various clans) that had intended to act at a critical moment were now tightly restrained, afraid to leak even the slightest bit, lest they attract the attention of this baleful star.

Even Wang Teng, who had sacrificed his life, was beaten like a dog, and the Ancient Imperial Clan was scared out of their wits.

At this moment, who would dare to be the one to stick their neck out? That would be courting death.

"What? No one has anything to say?"

Xu Chen raised an eyebrow, his voice flat, yet it echoed clearly on the deathly silent Star Observation Platform.

"What about that so-called 'Anti-Xu Alliance' from earlier? Disbanded?"

"Or are you all waiting for some opportune moment?"

Xu Chen stretched lazily, then pointed extremely casually at the sky above his head and the abyss beneath his feet.

"I'll make myself clear right here."

"Whether it's you young ones, the old ones behind you, or those hiding in the void watching the show."

"If you're not convinced, step forward now."

"One-on-one, group fight, battle of attrition—choose whatever you like."

"I, Xu Chen, will take you all on... alone."

Arrogant!

Arrogant beyond measure!

This was the rhythm of one man challenging the entire Middle Continent's cultivation world!

If this had been in the past, someone would have surely jumped out to curse him for not knowing his own limits. But now, looking at the man standing on the platform, behind whom an invincible momentum seemed to coalesce, everyone only felt... it was only natural.

He had the capital to be this arrogant.

A long time passed.

It was still deathly silent.

That oppressive silence made time feel incredibly long.

"Tsk."

Xu Chen shook his head somewhat disappointedly, a look of waning interest appearing on his face.

"Boring."

"Is this the Middle Continent's Heavenly Prodigy Assembly? Is this the so-called Golden Age?"

"Not even one person dares to draw their sword. Truly, each generation is worse than the last."

He turned around, no longer looking at these "geniuses" whose backbones had already been broken, and instead cast a gentle gaze towards the four peerlessly beautiful wives who had long been waiting by the carriage.

Su Qingge held a child, Luo Hongyi leaned against the carriage door, Jiang Liuli plucked at the strings of her zither, and Bai Ningbing stood still like snow.

Four beauties sharing the same frame—a feast for the eyes.

The originally stern expression on Xu Chen's face instantly melted, that trademark roguish smile returning to the corner of his mouth.

He looked back, giving the crowd below one last glance.

"Since no one dares to make a move, then everyone disperse."

"Don't waste my time."

As he spoke, he straightened his lapels and, while walking towards the golden carriage, said in a tone loud enough to make the entire venue collapse:

"This young master's time is very precious."

"No time to play house with you bachelors here."

"I have to hurry home, to be with my wives..."

Xu Chen deliberately paused, his gaze sweeping ambiguously over the four blushing beauties, then uttered the famous saying destined to be recorded in the annals of the Primordial Era:

"And make babies!"

Boom—!

These words were like a spiritual nuclear bomb, instantly detonating above the Star Observation Platform.

M-make babies?!

In such a serious, tense occasion, gathering all the heroes under heaven, he actually said he was in a hurry to go home and make babies?!

Is this even human language?

This was simply a dimensional strike against all the single dogs present! The ultimate spiritual execution!

"Pfft—!"

In the crowd, several prodigies whose Dao hearts were already unstable, upon hearing these words, directly rolled their eyes back and fainted from anger.

Too bullying!

This wasn't just a suppression of strength; this was an all-round happiness suppression!

They were still fighting to the death over a single magical treasure, while he already had a wife, children, and a warm bed, and was preparing for a second, third child!

What's the point of cultivating immortality anymore!

"Let's move! Return to the palace!"

Xu Chen paid no heed to the crowd of broken-hearted people who had collapsed behind him. He laughed heartily and ducked into the carriage.

"Roar—!!!"

The Nine True Dragons, as if sensing their master's urgency, let out a heaven-shaking, joyous roar.

Rumble!

The massive golden carriage transformed into a golden lightning bolt, instantly tearing through the void and speeding off towards the direction of the Eastern Wastelands.

Leaving behind only a string of arrogant laughter and a ground full of shattered Dao hearts, scattered in disarray in the wind.

...

High in the sky, the sea of clouds churned.

But inside the golden carriage, it was a completely different, amorous scene.

Although the external winds were fierce, the carriage interior contained its own universe, warm as spring. Thick spirit beast fur carpets covered the floor, and the air was filled with the faint scent of ambergris.

The moment Xu Chen entered the carriage, before he could even sit down properly, he was pinned by four pairs of beautiful eyes.

"Husband, that last thing you said... was too shameless."

Jiang Liuli lay in Xu Chen's arms, her face as red as a ripe tomato, her small hands gently pounding his chest.

"In front of so many people, saying something like... making babies... if this gets out, how will we sisters ever show our faces again?"

"Exactly."

Bai Ningbing's ears were also bright red. Although she was usually aloof, such brazen words spoken in public still left her somewhat overwhelmed.

"Husband, you are now the number one among the younger generation. You must pay attention to your image."

"Image?"

Xu Chen wrapped an arm around Jiang Liuli's slender waist, pulling Bai Ningbing into his embrace as well, and said with a wicked smile:

"My image is—the Xu Family's strongest baby-making machine."

"Besides, I was only telling the truth."

Xu Chen looked at his four beautiful wives with blazing eyes, the fire in his gaze growing hotter and hotter, as if about to set the entire carriage ablaze.

"Our Xu Family has a vast estate. If we don't have a few more children, who will inherit the hundreds of millions in family assets?"

"And..."

Xu Chen's gaze fell on Luo Hongyi's flat, toned abdomen, then swept over to Bai Ningbing.

"Hongyi, Ningbing, you two haven't shown any signs yet."

"How can this be?"

"Diligence can compensate for clumsiness; the slow bird must start early. Since there's no sign, it means this husband hasn't been diligent enough."

Upon hearing this, Luo Hongyi, far from being shy, instead hooked her arms around Xu Chen's neck with a seductive gaze, her red lips parting slightly:

"Then how does my husband plan to be more diligent?"

"I think the journey home is long. Why not... start now?"

This sentence directly lit the fuse.

"You witch, you..." Su Qingge had just begun to say something when Xu Chen pulled her over and planted a kiss on her cheek.

"Hongyi is right."

"There's no time like the present."

Xu Chen waved his hand grandly.

Hum!

The highest-level isolation formation inside the carriage instantly activated. All the windows closed automatically, and the soft light of night pearls spilled down, casting the entire carriage in an exceedingly ambiguous glow.

"What about the eldest child?"

"I had Little Peach take him to the next carriage earlier."

"Excellent."

Xu Chen looked at these four peerless beauties, each with her own charm and utterly devoted to him, took a deep breath, and undid his collar.

"My ladies."

"I didn't get enough of a fight outside just now. Now, let's attend to serious business."

"I challenge all four of you."

"Battle of attrition, or all together?"

"Ugh! You villain!"

Amidst a burst of shy exclamations and the rustling of clothes, the golden carriage began to tremble slightly amidst the clouds.

Although no sound could be heard from within, the occasional wisp of amorous aura that leaked out made even the Nine True Dragons pulling the carriage unconsciously quicken their pace, eager to return to Changshang Island sooner.
