118: Chapter 118 Getting into the Moment

"What, in seclusion?"

"When did this happen?"

The Elders of the Purple Dragon Clan asked in surprise.

They had heard that Yuan Chen was active outside just a few days ago.

"He just went into seclusion last night."

Auntie Pang said, feeling a bit embarrassed.

She hadn't expected so many visitors today.

She knew roughly about Yuan Chen's seclusion, so she wasn't very good at lying when facing these people.

"He just went into seclusion yesterday? Then he probably hasn't entered the state yet. You should go notify him immediately and say that Ao Fang from the Golden Dragon Clan requests an audience."

Besides the Purple Dragon Clan, there was also the Golden Dragon Clan at the door.

Both groups had arrived here at the same time.

The Golden Dragon Clan side was basically all women.

Several Elders had brought Fifth Young Lady Ao Su and other women from the clan under Clan Leader Ao Yi's orders.

The Purple Dragon Clan side had the same Elder from last time, who had brought her granddaughter, great-granddaughter, and the like.

There was even a chubby girl among them, also brought by one of the Elders.

There was no help for it; she was the only unmarried woman among the younger generation.

They had to bring her to try their luck.

Perhaps after tasting exotic delicacies, Yuan Chen, this child, might actually fancy this kind of 'exotic delicacy'!

Hearing the request to call Yuan Chen out, Auntie Pang looked troubled.

She said with a slightly strange expression, "I think my Young Master has already entered the state; it's actually quite easy to enter!"

The crowd of Elders was even more surprised by Yuan Chen's power.

For them, it took a few days before seclusion to strive to find that ethereal feeling.

That was why they specifically sought out quiet, undisturbed places; it was more effective.

They hadn't expected Yuan Chen to have no such worries at all.

"Aunt Fang, since he is in seclusion, let's just go back!"

Fifth Young Lady Ao Su didn't want to waste time meeting him anyway.

There were so many fun places in the city.

She had only arrived a few days ago and hadn't finished exploring them all.

Ao Fang felt a bit helpless and finally asked Auntie Pang, "How long will it take for Yuan Chen to come out?"

Auntie Pang said without hesitation, "Twenty-one days!"

Everyone: "???"

Who goes into seclusion with such precision?

Auntie Pang looked to the other side, avoiding the gazes of these people.

Since the Young Master said twenty-one days, then it was twenty-one days.

In terms of time, the Young Master's control was extremely precise.

"Hmph, this arrogant fellow must be intentionally putting on airs."

"As if we were willing to come."

The Elders didn't say much, but several Young Misses were dissatisfied.

They held high statuses within the Dragon Clan.

Being forced here by their Elders was one thing, but to be given the cold shoulder by Yuan Chen—of course they had some emotional reactions.

"Exactly, it's too much. This Young Miss won't bother anymore. Elder, let's go back!"

It wasn't just the Golden Dragon Clan; even some from the Purple Dragon Clan started complaining.

The Elders looked at each other.

The Purple Dragon Clan side was fine; they were all their own direct descendants and could be controlled.

The Golden Dragon Clan side was different.

The Elders were just sent to protect their safety.

The parents of these women were all powerful figures.

They couldn't be scolded.

The entrance to the Exotic Beast Mansion instantly became noisy.

"If you want to argue, go back home to argue. Don't throw a tantrum here."

"Presumably Yuan Chen doesn't fancy you either, so there's no need to be angry with each other here. Go back!"

The women were furious and looked in the direction the voice came from.

Whether they were willing or not was their own business; why did they need someone else to lecture them?

In everyone's line of sight, a noble lady with a large belly slowly walked out.

The younger women of the Purple Dragon Clan and the Elders of the Golden Dragon Clan stared with wide eyes, fixing their gazes on Elder Zixia's belly as if they had seen a ghost.

The Elder of the Purple Dragon Clan hadn't been able to tell she was pregnant when she last saw Elder Zixia, and even though she knew now, seeing it in person made her eyes widen in shock.

"Who are you?"

"One of Yuan Chen's women? What status do you have to speak to us like this? Even Yuan Chen wouldn't dare treat us like this!"

Elder Zixia wasn't someone just anyone could see back at the Dragon Clan Headquarters.

The younger generation of the Golden Dragon Clan who didn't recognize her started clamoring.

Fifth Young Lady Ao Su, who had been idle and preparing to go shopping, froze on the spot, staring at Elder Zixia with her jaw almost dropping.

She looked at the other party's belly, then at her face.

It was indeed Elder Zixia, whom she knew.

It was indeed a noble lady carrying a child.

But putting the two together made it hard for her to accept.

Furthermore, the other party had walked out of Yuan Chen's courtyard...

Her own father had said the Purple Dragon Clan had already gained the upper hand.

She hadn't known the situation before, but now she understood.

It was just hard to accept.

She muttered a greeting, "Elder Zixia."

Except for a few who didn't know her, the others also bowed together.

Elder Zixia stroked her belly and nodded faintly.

She was the most free right now.

Hearing that someone from the Purple Dragon Clan had arrived, she hadn't expected to hear such a conversation.

She couldn't help but come out to reprimand them.

It was just as well; right now, she was the only one in the Exotic Beast Mansion who could suppress this group.

If Yuan Chen's other wives came out, these people definitely wouldn't take them seriously.

"Elder... Zixia?"

The arrogance on the faces of the Golden Dragon Clan women vanished without a trace.

They looked at the woman in front of them in disbelief.

Although they hadn't met her, they had heard of Elder Zixia's name.

For a moment, they were at a loss.

Elder Zixia glanced at them and continued, "Since you aren't here voluntarily, then why not go back?"

"Even if you meet, there won't be any result."

Elder Zixia waved her hand, telling them to leave.

The group didn't dare say anything more and replied repeatedly.

"As for Yuan Chen, the third stage will have already begun when he comes out of seclusion."

"He probably won't have the opportunity to see you, so wait until after the assembly is over!"

"If you don't have patience, it doesn't matter whether you come or not."

After speaking, she turned around and went back into the mansion, not even receiving her own Purple Dragon Clan kin.

"Hmph, shameless. Thousands of years old, marrying a junior in his twenties!"

Elder Zixia's words naturally aroused the dissatisfaction of several women, but most dared to be angry but not speak.

Even their biggest backer might not be as powerful as Elder Zixia.

However, there was an exception.

A woman who was used to being spoiled couldn't help but complain as soon as Elder Zixia entered the mansion.

"Ao Mi, stop!"

The Elders hurriedly scolded, but it was too late.

A stream of Qi emanated from the mansion.

Before anyone could react, Ao Mi, who had been standing there, was instantly sent flying dozens of meters away.

"Get out of Qingye City. If you are found lingering in the city after one day, no matter whose descendant you are, you won't need to go back alive!"

Elder Zixia's voice sounded again.

Everyone trembled instantly.
