240: Chapter 240 The Dress-Up Game!

Ye Changge held her, but he wasn't sleepy.

He gazed at the bed canopy above, his mind replaying Liu Yiyi's words from just now.

Xiao Tian wants to go out and see the world...

Indeed, the children were gradually growing up.

Ye Bufan was practicing at the Lingxiao Sect; he was already in the Mid Qi Refining Stage and stood out among his peers.

Ye Zhi, Ye Xiu, Ye Ruyi... one by one, they were all slowly growing up, beginning to have their own thoughts and pursuits.

As their father, he naturally had to make arrangements for their future.

But the Ye Family's offspring were numerous and still increasing.

How could it be easy to settle every child properly?

Send them to a Sect? But Sect slots were limited, and not every child was suited for the Dao of the Sect's cultivation.

Keep them in the clan for nurturing? But clan resources were limited, and although the Ye Family was improving now, its foundation was ultimately too shallow.

Teach them personally? He had the heart for it, but his time and energy were limited; he simply couldn't manage it all.

Ye Changge sighed softly.

Marrying and having children is bliss for a moment, but the aftermath of making arrangements is a crematorium.

These words were truly not wrong at all.

He looked down at the soundly sleeping Liu Yiyi in his arms, then thought of Lu Shiyin and the children far away at Lingxiao Market, making silent calculations in his heart.

Tomorrow morning, he would set out to bring them back.

By the way...

He would also go see how that brat Ye Bufan was doing at the Lingxiao Sect.

As for the children's arrangements...

Ye Changge's gaze narrowed slightly.

There would always be a way.

He was Ye Changge.

He was the Old Ancestor of the Ye Family of Longmai Mountain.

He was the father of these children.

He had the responsibility, and the ability, to hold up a piece of the sky for them.

Outside the window, the moonlight was like water.

Ye Changge held his sleeping wife and slowly closed his eyes.

In the dead of night, moonlight spilled into the room through the Window Lattice like water.

Ye Changge gently stroked her black hair scattered on the pillow and lowered his head to plant a light kiss on her forehead.

"Sleep well."

He carefully withdrew his arm from under her neck, his movements extremely light and slow, for fear of disturbing her beautiful dream.

Liu Yiyi seemed to sense something, wrinkled her nose slightly, muttered something, turned over, and fell back into a deep sleep.

Ye Changge smiled silently, stood up, put on an Outer Robe, and tiptoed out of the room.

The night air was cool, and a gentle breeze brushed his face, carrying the scent of freshly turned soil from the Spirit Fields.

Ye Changge stood under the Corridor with his hands behind his back, looking at the brilliant starry sky above, and exhaled a breath of Turbid Qi.

Sometimes, having too many wives was also a kind of trouble.

Not the trouble of them being bad, but the trouble of his own lack of Clones.

He now had several officially wedded primary wives and more than ten concubines.

Every one of them was his woman, and every one of them had given him their true heart. He couldn't favor one over the other, much less neglect anyone.

But there was only so much time and only so much energy.

Taking turns, one round took several days.

However, who was he, Ye Changge? The Old Ancestor of the Ye Family of Longmai Mountain, the chosen one possessing the many children, many blessings system. Although he couldn't attend to everything perfectly, he wouldn't let any wife feel wronged.

Especially...

Ye Changge turned his gaze toward the room to the east that was still glowing with a faint light, a helpless smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.

Especially that proud Second Young Miss.

Lu Shiqing had been Life Qi for a whole day today.

The reason was none other than—after he returned, he went to Liu Yiyi's place first instead of going to find her first.

Although Lu Shiqing didn't say it, how could Ye Changge not see it? During dinner, that girl had a stiff face the whole time, ignoring him and not even bothering to hand him chopsticks. That "I am very Life Qi, come coax me quickly" look was practically written on her face.

Ye Changge found it funny in his heart, but his feet had already started walking in that direction.

He pushed open the door and walked in quietly.

The candlelight in the room flickered slightly. Lu Shiqing was lying on her side on the bed, facing inward, her long black hair scattered on the pillow, the exquisite curves of her figure faintly visible under the Thin Quilt.

Ye Changge walked to the bedside and said softly: "Addressing Lu Shiqing, I'm here."

No response.

Only the sound of even breathing, as if she had already fallen asleep.

But Ye Changge knew in his heart that this girl wasn't asleep at all. Although her breathing rate was deliberately kept steady, it was a bit faster than when in a deep sleep, and...

If she were truly asleep, given her personality, she would have rolled over to his side long ago; how could she be so "well-behaved," lying on her side without moving?

This is still being Life Qi.

No, to be precise, she was waiting for Ye Changge to come and coax her.

Ye Changge found it funny but didn't expose her, directly taking off his Outer Robe, lifting the quilt, and lying down.

He reached out and gently pulled her slender and soft waist.

Lu Shiqing's body stiffened slightly.

Ye Changge's palm pressed against her flat lower abdomen; through the thin Nightwear, he could feel that warm and delicate touch. He didn't make any further moves, just held her quietly like this, resting his chin on her shoulder.

Warm breath puffed against her ear.

Lu Shiqing finally couldn't take it anymore.

Her pretty face turned slightly red, she let out a muffled "humph" from her nose, then twisted her body, moved further inward, and turned her back to him in a "don't touch me" posture.

How could Ye Changge let her get away? With a slight force from his arm, he pulled her back again.

"Let go of me!" Lu Shiqing finally spoke, her voice muffled and carrying a bit of a sulky tone, "Go find your Liu Yiyi, what are you doing coming to find me?"

Ye Changge found it funny; this girl was indeed Life Qi because of this.

"Addressing Lu Shiqing," he leaned close to her ear and said warmly, "Haven't I come now?"

"Humph!"

Another cold snort.

Ye Changge knew that just relying on smooth talk wouldn't coax this proud Young Miss. He had to bring out something real.

He reached out to take the Storage Pouch from the bedside, his mind probing into it, searching through it.

A moment later, his eyes lit up, and he took out a neatly folded piece of clothing from the bag.

That was something he had bought when passing by a Dharma Robe shop called "Tianyi Pavilion" while in Qingxuan Immortal City.

Tianyi Pavilion was a well-known Dharma Robe shop in Qingxuan Immortal City, specializing in all kinds of Dharma Robes, brocade clothes, and Splendid Attire. It was said that it had a Core Formation Stage Great Cultivator backing it, and the Dharma Robes sold in the shop were each exquisitely beautiful, with prices that were naturally shockingly expensive.

Ye Changge originally didn't want to go in—a single Dharma Robe often cost over a thousand Spirit Stones, enough for him to sell several hundred Talismans in White Bird Market. But he couldn't resist the samples displayed in the shop window, which were truly too exquisite. His heart stirred, thinking that with so many wives and concubines at home, he should always bring them some gifts, so he gritted his teeth and walked in.

As a result, once he went in, he couldn't come out.

Not because he was forced to buy or sell by the shopkeeper, but because those Dharma Robes... were truly too beautiful.

Various styles, various colors, various materials, a dazzling array, a feast for the eyes. Some were dignified and elegant, some were pure and refined, some were charming and moving, some...

At that time, Ye Changge thought of his wives at home.
