165: Chapter 165 The Considerate Zhou Qingying

When Su Bai pushed open the door and walked in,

Zhou Qingying, Lin Weiwei, and Lin Chanchan were sitting by the table drinking tea.

Seeing Su Bai enter, Zhou Qingying quickly put down her teacup and went to meet him.

She carefully examined Su Bai's expression, noticing the hostility in his eyes that had not yet fully dissipated; with a pained heart, she reached out and gently caressed Su Bai's cheek.

She spoke softly, asking Su Bai,

"Husband, are you still angry?"

Su Bai took Zhou Qingying's hand, pulled her into his arms, and said after a sigh,

"How can I not be? A bunch of ignorant fools who don't know the height of the heavens."

He pulled Zhou Qingying to sit by the table, looked her up and down somewhat nervously, and asked with concern,

"Did you get hurt when you fought that trash just now? Does your wrist hurt?"

Zhou Qingying looked at Su Bai's nervous expression.

Her heart felt sweet.

She shook her head gently, a curve forming at the corners of her mouth, and said happily,

"Husband, do not look down on me. To deal with that kind of trash, I didn't even use ten percent of my strength, so how could I be injured?"

Having said that, the smile on Zhou Qingying's face gradually faded.

Her expression became solemn.

She reached out and took Su Bai's hand in hers, advising him earnestly,

"Husband, I know you are venting your anger for us. But... you just said at the Martial Arts Arena that you would disband them and send them all home."

"Husband, this must not be done!"

Zhou Qingying knew well that in this chaotic world,

an army composed entirely of Cultivators was terrifying.

"Those thirty people are the first batch of followers you spent a great deal of effort and resources to cultivate. Although they are arrogant and ignorant now, they have, after all, stepped over the threshold of cultivation."

"As long as they are properly disciplined and strictly managed, they will surely become the sharpest blade in your hand in the future.

If they are disbanded just like that, won't all those invested resources go down the drain? Husband, your grand ambitions would also be affected because of this."

Listening to Zhou Qingying's persuasion, a bitter smile appeared on Su Bai's lips.

How could he not know these truths?

But there are some matters of principle that can never be compromised.

"Qingying, you don't understand."

Su Bai shook his head, his gaze becoming incredibly deep.

"I don't lack resources; if I'm willing, I can cultivate three hundred or three thousand more such Cultivators. But what I lack is absolute loyalty!"

"An army without loyalty is not only a heap of loose sand but also a blade hanging over my neck that could fall at any time!"

"These people have only just reached the Qi Refining First Layer, yet they dare to be so arrogant and bossy, even disregarding you. When their cultivation is higher and their strength is greater in the future, won't they be shitting and pissing all over my head?!"

Su Bai's voice unknowingly rose a few notches.

"What else should I do if not disband them? Keep them so that one day, while I'm risking my life against the Yao Race at the front, they can stab me in the back?!"

Zhou Qingying was stunned by Su Bai's words.

She knew Su Bai had a point, but she still felt it was a pity.

"But husband, we could execute the ringleader Su Lei to establish authority, and the others..."

Zhou Qingying wanted to persuade him further, but Su Bai raised his hand to interrupt her.

"Enough, Qingying, say no more."

Su Bai spoke in a firm, unquestionable tone:

"My mind is made up! I won't keep a single one of these ungrateful white-eyed wolves! Let them kneel outside; they can get lost once they've reflected clearly!"

At this moment, Lin Weiwei, who had been sitting quietly to the side, also stood up.

She walked to Su Bai's side, reached out her soft little hand to gently pull his sleeve, and looked at him with watery, pitiful eyes.

"Young Master... Sister Qingying is right. Although those people are detestable, they are after all the result of your hard work. You must not act impulsively and disband them all just because of us."

Lin Weiwei's voice was soft and sweet, carrying a hint of coquettishness.

Su Bai looked at Lin Weiwei pulling his sleeve.

He was truly laughed out of anger.

He reached out and pinched Lin Weiwei's fair, tender cheek, saying crossly:

"You silly girl, they were going to hit you just now to give you a show of strength! And yet you're helping them speak? Are you stupid?"

Lin Weiwei's cheek turned slightly red from the pinch, but she stubbornly did not pull away, instead looking at Su Bai seriously.

Zhou Qingying chimed in from the side:

"Husband, Sister Weiwei isn't stupid; we are both thinking of you."

"We know you cherish us and can't bear to see us suffer grievances. But we hope even more that you can achieve great things; you cannot let our personal feelings delay your overall plan."

Looking at the three women close at hand:

Zhou Qingying's reasonableness, Lin Weiwei's gentleness and consideration, and Lin Chanchan's eyes full of admiration for him.

Su Bai suddenly felt that in his Transmigration to this shitty chaotic world, his greatest luck was not obtaining the System, but meeting these women who wholeheartedly thought of him.

An unprecedented sense of happiness instantly filled Su Bai's chest.

The hostility he had accumulated at the Martial Arts Arena miraculously vanished at this moment.

With wives like these, what more could a man ask for?

Su Bai suddenly laughed.

His laugh was a bit wicked.

He suddenly reached out both hands, pulling Zhou Qingying and Lin Weiwei into his arms at once, then turned to look at Lin Chanchan, whose pretty face was slightly flushed as she stood nearby.

"My wives are right; for the sake of the big picture, I shouldn't be impulsive."

Su Bai leaned against Zhou Qingying's earlobe and lowered his voice, his tone carrying an undeniable hint of ambiguity:

"However... your husband's fire is indeed a bit high right now. Since you are all so understanding, why don't you... help me get rid of this evil fire in my heart first?"

As soon as these words were spoken,

the three women's faces instantly turned red all the way to their necks.

"Husband! It's still broad daylight..."

Zhou Qingying punched Su Bai in shame and annoyance, but she didn't use any force at all.

Su Bai didn't care about that; he picked Zhou Qingying up horizontally and strode towards the bed in the inner room.

"What's wrong with daytime? I, Su Bai, am pampering my wives on my own territory; who dares to say a single word against it!"

Before long,

decadent sounds that made one's heart race and face flush drifted out from the inner room.

Since Lin Weiwei was pregnant, Su Bai naturally didn't drag her into the mischief this time, instead letting her rest nearby.

This hearty, vigorous battle lasted for over four hours.

...

The next morning.

Su Bai pushed open the door feeling refreshed and stretched.

Taking Ma Lie and a group of personal guards, he walked out of the courtyard, preparing to set off back to Yunzhou City.

When passing by the Martial Arts Arena,

Su Bai saw that the twenty-nine Su Family Village Disciples were still kneeling ramrod-straight on the bluestone slabs.

After a night of biting cold wind, their lips were purple, and they were shivering from the cold.
