143: Chapter 143 A chaotic scene erupts! Six women vie for the emperor's favor, and the jealousy jars are all over the place!
Having just returned to the Hehuan Sect Main Hall.
Before Cao Kun could even reach his throne, the footsteps behind him became chaotic.
"Revered Master~"
"Husband!"
"Senior Brother..."
Accompanied by several delicate calls,
several women swarmed around him in a flurry.
Yu Linglong, Leng Qingyue, Liu Rumeng, Nangong Wan, and Meng Yudie.
Plus Sect Master Qin Canglan, who was forced to be involved.
With six world-toppling beauties gathered together, a fragrant breeze immediately filled the hall, making it seem like spring was in full bloom.
Dresses of various colors overlapped; some were slender, some were curvaceous, each beautiful in her own unique way.
Cao Kun walked straight toward the large throne at the head of the hall.
He leaned back comfortably against the chair covered in snow-white Yao Beast skin, crossing his legs.
Feeling the thick scent of perfume in the air and looking at the row of peerless beauties before him,
he mused inwardly.
This was the divine life a Great Villain was supposed to live.
Killing was just a means; enjoying life was the goal.
Cao Kun was in no hurry to get intimate.
He pulled five Storage Rings from his robes.
These contained the entire fortunes of five Soul Transformation Stage old monsters like Chu Qianqiu and Ji Daoyuan.
Thousands of years of accumulation were all within these small bands.
Cao Kun mobilized the Chaos Qi within his Dantian.
A grey-black current of Qi surged from his fingertips,
directly wiping away the Divine Sense imprints on the five Storage Rings.
Then, he flicked his wrist.
Clatter!
A crisp clashing sound echoed throughout the hall.
Countless Top-Grade Spirit Stones poured out, piling into small mountains that emitted dense Spiritual Qi.
Next, high-grade Magic Treasures fell one by one, radiating dazzling treasure light.
There were Flying Swords, Formation Plates, defensive inner armors, and Cultivation Technique Jade Slips.
Finally, hundreds of jade bottles filled with rare Medicinal Pills and ten-thousand-year Spiritual Plants rolled across the floor.
The entire floor of the hall was covered.
A rich medicinal fragrance and Spiritual Qi soared into the air.
Looking at these mountains of treasure, the six women's eyes went wide.
The cultivation world emphasized wealth, companions, techniques, and environment.
Wealth was ranked first.
Even though they were used to grand scenes, facing the lifelong savings of five Soul Transformation old monsters made their breathing quicken.
The atmosphere in the hall became subtle.
The women's eyes met, sparks flying.
Yu Linglong reacted the fastest.
Relying on her Soul Transformation Stage cultivation and her status as Cao Kun's nominal Revered Master,
she unhesitatingly seized the initiative.
Twisting her voluptuous water-snake waist, she directly pushed aside Meng Yudie, who was blocking her path.
Walking to the side of the throne, she sat down on Cao Kun's left thigh.
Her purple skirt slid down her snow-white leg.
Her full chest intentionally or unintentionally brushed against Cao Kun's arm.
"Oh~ Revered Master."
"Linglong accompanied you into battle today and spent so long in the cold wind of the sky. It was so exhausting~"
She extended a fair, tender finger.
Pointing at a Top-Grade Flying Sword on the ground that emitted a deep blue glow, she acted spoiled in a high-pitched voice:
"That water-attribute Top-Grade Flying Sword, could you reward it to Linglong, please?~"
Yu Linglong's delicate attempt to claim credit immediately lit the fuse for the other women's anger.
Leng Qingyue was the first to object.
Dressed in a plain white dress, her temperament was as cold and aloof as an immortal.
But now she stepped forward with a cold Face.
She deliberately lifted her skirt a bit, shaking the purple gold bell on her ankle that Cao Kun had given her.
"Ding-dong."
The crisp sound of the bell rang through the hall,
proclaiming her special status.
"Revered Master!"
Leng Qingyue looked at Yu Linglong, her voice cold, showing no intention of backing down.
"According to the rules, I am Senior Brother Cao's official Dao Companion. It is only right that I choose first!"
As soon as she said this, she diverted all the heat Yu Linglong had attracted onto herself.
The smell of jealousy in the room became thick enough to choke on.
Liu Rumeng had always been a blunt, hot-tempered person.
She wore a seductive red gauze dress, her legs long and straight.
Hearing Leng Qingyue's words, Liu Rumeng's eyes widened, and she fired back directly.
"Qingyue, did you grant yourself that 'official Dao Companion' title?"
Liu Rumeng stood with hands on her hips, her full bosom trembling with her movements.
"Revered Master has never announced it publicly! If we're talking about seniority, I am the personal maid Revered Master took in himself!"
Standing to the side, Meng Yudie immediately seized the chance to chime in.
She waved an exquisite silk fan, half-hiding her Face with its Natural Charm Bone, laughing so hard her body swayed.
Her pink chest-high Ruqun dress squeezed her staggering peaks so much they seemed ready to pop out.
"Rumeng is right!"
"Martial Niece Leng is so young, yet she doesn't blush at all when she lies."
At this point, Meng Yudie changed her tune.
She deliberately glanced at Nangong Wan, who was standing on the outermost edge.
"But if you ask me, good steel should be used on the blade's edge."
"Most of us here are already at the Nascent Soul or Soul Transformation Stage."
"Unlike some people whose cultivation only just reached the Golden Core Stage after their Physical Body was reconstructed. Even if they took a Top-Grade Magic Treasure, they wouldn't have enough spiritual power to activate it."
Though she didn't name names, she might as well have read out Nangong Wan's ID card.
Nangong Wan had been standing quietly to the side.
Upon hearing this,
her originally gentle gaze became extremely aggressive, her 'Big Sister' queenly aura fully erupting.
She cursed back without hesitation.
"Old hag, who are you talking about?"
Her chin tilted slightly, looking down at Meng Yudie with disdain.
"My cultivation may be low, but I have the Samsara Holy Body!"
"Every time I Breakthrough, I can provide Husband with fresh primordial yin. Can you?"
This sentence was incredibly lethal.
The Heaven-Defying effect of the Samsara Holy Body was indeed Nangong Wan's unique trump card.
Before Meng Yudie could reply,
Nangong Wan flicked her skirt and sat astride Cao Kun's right thigh without any reservation.
Her arms expertly wrapped around Cao Kun's neck, and her full red lips moved close to his ear, her breath like orchids.
"Husband, I am the Pill Pavilion Manager. Those high-grade pills and thousand-year Spiritual Plants must go to me. I need to manage the family assets for Husband."
Nangong Wan's move of acting first and asking later left the other four women dumbfounded.
Cao Kun sat in the middle, with the charming and seductive Yu Linglong on his left and the bold and proactive Nangong Wan on his right.
Below him stood three peerless beauties watching like tigers stalking prey.
He didn't stop them, comfortably watching the show from the sidelines.
This Asura field was much more interesting than watching those Righteous Path old monsters blast each other with Spells.
Seeing the scene get more and more chaotic,
the women looked like they were about to start a fight right in the hall.
Qin Canglan, who had been standing by silently, finally couldn't take it anymore.
Qin Canglan coughed twice.
Her lush and graceful figure heaved slightly with the movement.
As the Hehuan Sect Sect Master, she felt it necessary to control the situation and grab some benefits while she was at it.
"Stop arguing! Where is your decorum!"
Qin Canglan put on her Sect Master's air and said with a stern Face:
"The Sect is currently in a period of great development. Resources are lacking everywhere."
"I believe half of these Magic Treasures and pills should be turned over to the public first and placed in the Sect treasury."
"As for the rest, everyone can discuss how to divide them."
Her intention was to grab more benefits to stabilize the Sect's foundation,
and also to suppress the arrogance of these women.
Instead, she directly poked a hornet's nest.
The five women who were just trying to kill each other instantly formed a strategic alliance.
They turned their guns outward in unison.
Yu Linglong, sitting on Cao Kun's lap, gave a cold laugh.
"The Sect Master sure has a lot of authority!"
She mercilessly exposed Qin Canglan's little scheme.
"These are spoils of war that Revered Master won all by himself. Why should they be turned over?"
"I think you just want to use the Sect as a pretext to line your own pockets!"
Leng Qingyue nodded in agreement: "If the Sect Master lacks resources, she can go out and seize them herself. Using Senior Brother Cao's spoils to do favors is inappropriate."
Liu Rumeng was even more direct, giving her no Face at all:
"Exactly! Don't think we don't know what you're thinking."
"If you want to scrape things from Revered Master's hands, did you ask if we agree?"
Meng Yudie waved her fan, adding a smiling jab.
"Sect Master Qin's abacus is so loud I can hear it all the way at Baihua Peak."
"Do you really think us sisters are so easily fooled?"
Nangong Wan blew a puff of hot air into Cao Kun's ear and said coquettishly:
"Husband, you can't be biased."
"This woman is very wicked; she wants it all for herself."
The dignified Sect Master was being ganged up on by five women.
Qin Canglan's Face turned bright red with shame and anger, yet she couldn't lash out.
She could only glare hatefully at Cao Kun, her eyes seemingly saying, 'Control your women!'
The six Jade Beasts were arguing incessantly in the hall for the treasures and for Cao Kun's favor.
They chattered away, none willing to submit to the others.
"What's so great about your Crimson Flame Spiritual Body?"
"What do you know! I'm doing this because I care for Revered Master! Not like you, you old vixen!"
"Is having a Natural Charm Bone that amazing? You dress like you're wearing nothing all day long, have you no shame!"
"Oh my, is Little Sister jealous of Big Sister's figure?"
"After all, Revered Master might not necessarily like that scrawny look of yours."
The hall was in an uproar.
Insults exposing each other's secrets flew out one after another.
The two guard Disciples outside the hall heard the scandalous shouting inside and were sweating profusely from fear.
These were the top-level big shots of the Sect tearing into each other.
The two looked at each other and, with great tacit understanding, covered their ears.
They crept away to the stone steps a hundred meters away.
They were terrified of hearing a secret they shouldn't and being silenced by the Grand Elder.
At the height of the argument, Yu Linglong curled her lip.
She threw out her killing move.
"If you ask me, having all this scrap metal piled up is an eyesore."
"Let Linglong categorize them for Revered Master."
"Lest some sisters who haven't seen the world get overwhelmed and take things they shouldn't."
How could Meng Yudie let her have her way? She immediately countered with sarcasm.
"Oh, Sister Yu, how can you say that?"
"We are all close people who serve Revered Master; there's no high or low between us."
"Besides, who Revered Master loves most depends on his mood tonight."
She deliberately dragged out her words.
"It's not like whoever is oldest gets the final say. Right, Sister?"
The words 'whoever is oldest' precisely stepped on Yu Linglong's landmine.
Yu Linglong's beautiful eyes widened, and the spiritual power of the Early stage of Spirit Severing faintly fluctuated.
"Meng Yudie, are you looking for a beating!"
Seeing that these women were really about to tear the hall down,
Cao Kun had seen enough of the show.
Slap!
A crisp slap landed mercilessly on her perky, soft buttocks.
The hall went silent.
The six women immediately reined in their arrogance, their gazes snapping toward the man on the throne.
All of them put on obedient expressions.
Cao Kun looked at this group of charming, top-tier beauties and gave a wicked smile.
"Alright, stop arguing. There are plenty of treasures, enough for everyone to share."
"How could a woman of mine, Cao Kun, ever lack cultivation resources?"
He sat up straight,
his gaze sweeping over the lush and graceful figures of the six women one by one.
From Leng Qingyue's coldness to Liu Rumeng's fieriness; from Meng Yudie's charm to Qin Canglan's mature grace.
And then to Yu Linglong's seductiveness and Nangong Wan's boldness.
"But we need to set a rule."
The six women pricked up their ears, afraid to miss a single word.
"Distribution according to labor!"
The six women looked at each other.
Clearly, they didn't understand the meaning of this phrase.
Cao Kun leaned back and explained: "Tonight! Whoever performs the best will be the first to choose tomorrow morning!"
"The one who performs the worst won't even get a single leaf of a Spiritual Plant."
As soon as he said this,
the six women who were at each other's throats just now all turned into docile kittens.
They exchanged glances.
Their previous hostility gradually transformed into an intense desire to compete.
Magic Treasures were important, of course.
But Cao Kun's favor was what they wanted most.
To be the first to pick a treasure,
and to prove they were the most favored one,
the six Jade Beasts began to scheme in their hearts.
What methods should they use to please this overbearing man...
Cao Kun sat on his throne.
Watching the six Jade Beasts secretly competing with each other,
he leaned back contentedly.
The rules were set.
Next, he would see how they showed off their divine abilities.
He wouldn't trade this life for an immortal's.
"Alright, stop standing around here."
"Prepare for the grand exam."
Outside the hall, the night grew darker.
But deep within the Main Hall, a battle without smoke had only just begun.
