65: Chapter 65 is too short.
After sending Lang Jiao away, Yuan Chen rubbed his temples.
"I really need to be careful with my words from now on."
I didn't expect that a casual remark would allow her to find a loophole.
And then use that excuse to stay behind.
Hmph!
What "loving husband and wife"?
Isn't she just craving Yuan's body?
In her dreams!
"Wait!"
The conversation with Lang Jiao had only lasted a few seconds.
After regaining his focus, he saw the young maidservants about to place Yuan An into the wardrobe, so Yuan Chen hurriedly called for a stop.
He had almost forgotten.
After the young maidservants looked over in confusion, Yuan Chen hurriedly took out several quilts from his storage ring.
He laid them out neatly inside the wardrobe.
If it was going to be useful, he would eventually have to lie inside to forge his body as well.
He couldn't let Yuan An defile it.
After laying down three layers of quilts, he turned to look at the maidservants.
"Alright, put him in!"
After the maidservants placed him inside, Yuan Chen continued, "Fold the quilts back; do not let his skin touch any part of the wardrobe."
"There… wrap him up tightly."
Yuan Chen instructed incessantly.
A while later, Yuan Chen stood outside the wardrobe, deep in thought.
The horizontally placed wardrobe…
At this moment, wrapped in a quilt, it looked more like a coffin.
He held his forehead and waved his hand.
"Hurry and close it, just close it!"
He could no longer bear to look at it.
With a thud, the two doors were shut.
The four maidservants hoisted it onto their shoulders and walked toward the mansion.
Yuan Chen felt a toothache.
Do you all lack Qi?
Why must you carry it on your shoulders?
It's so immersion-breaking, really.
Plus, these maidservants were all professionally trained.
They swayed as they walked.
Damn it!
It looked even more like a funeral procession!
What Yuan Chen didn't know was that this couldn't be blamed on the maidservants.
Back in the clan, when the elders traveled, they always rode in sedan chairs for the sake of prestige.
After carrying them for so long, they had developed a habit.
Regardless, it was just this one time.
Yuan Chen wasn't in the mood to reprimand them.
He grabbed Yue Ying's arm and walked toward the mansion.
When they reached the entrance, he suddenly stopped.
He looked up at the empty space above; there wasn't even a plaque.
He said to Auntie Pang, who was coming out to meet them, "Go out and get a plaque made."
"Just call it…"
After a two-second pause, Yuan Chen said, "Exotic Beast Mansion!"
In the future, his children would mostly be exotic beasts.
Presumably, it wouldn't be long before it made a name for itself outside.
So, he might as well keep it simple and clear.
After giving the instructions, he returned to the mansion.
A group of beautiful women surrounded him, praising Yuan Chen for being amazing and complimenting Yue Ying's eloquence.
However, back here, Yue Ying returned to her usual self, blushing uncontrollably the moment she heard praise.
"Hey, Auntie Pang."
Auntie Pang, who had just walked in after relaying the task to her subordinates, was called out by Yuan Chen again.
"Go out today and prepare the things for the wedding!"
"Prepare twenty sets of wedding supplies within three days."
"After that, we will finish all the weddings one by one, each day."
"As for the guests…"
"There are so many minor demons in Qingye City."
"Just divide them by location and invite a batch each day."
"As long as it doesn't get awkward, that's fine."
"As for the extra sets, save them for future use."
After marrying Ninth Princess Huo Lingling, he hadn't held weddings for the rest of his wives.
If he did them all, it would be nearly twenty ceremonies.
After giving the order, his gaze shifted to Little Strawberry.
He would see if she wanted to experience what it felt like to be a bride when the time came…
Returning to the main hall, after letting the women go back, Yuan Chen returned to his courtyard and activated the Formation of the Exotic Beast Mansion.
Then, he returned to his room.
He glanced at the wardrobe placed on the floor, then looked at his bed.
At this moment, the maidservants who had carried the wardrobe in had not yet left.
Yuan Chen pointed to the bed and said, "It's too small, make it bigger."
The maidservant looked at Yuan Chen in confusion.
Three meters long and two meters wide, and it's still small?
But since it was Yuan Chen's order, she naturally had to obey, so she asked, "Young Master, how big should it be?"
Yuan Chen opened his arms to gesture, then encompassed the entire room.
Maidservant: "???"
Are you trying to turn the entire room into a bed?
Seeing Yuan Chen nod firmly, she left the room with a serious expression.
And Yuan Chen took one last look at the silent coffin… er, wardrobe, and thought for a moment.
He tossed all the Spiritual Artifacts he had on him into it in one go.
Then, he clapped his hands and turned to go to the front hall.
This matter wasn't over yet.
His son was missing, so his uncle would definitely come looking for him.
Sure enough, less than an hour later, Yuan Chen saw a young man flying in the sky.
It was his uncle, Yuan Da.
He was currently floating in mid-air, shouting something toward the mansion.
Because the Formation was active, no sound could get in.
Yuan Chen ignored him.
He let him shout at the air outside.
In the meantime, Shui Monong, who also saw the person outside, specifically came to find Yuan Chen, but was persuaded to go back by him.
Not long after, Yuan Da couldn't hold back anymore.
He began to bombard the Formation directly.
Yuan Chen curled his lips.
The Formation was designed by someone Yuan Da himself had hired.
He knew exactly how strong it was.
Isn't this just a waste of effort?
Anyway, the other party couldn't interfere with the lives of Yuan Chen's family.
So, Yuan Chen completely ignored him and went back to his own business.
But just as he had been teasing his son for a while, he was interrupted by the commotion outside.
He looked up.
He didn't know when, but Yuan Da had actually called three more helpers.
They were bombarding the grand Formation relentlessly.
Yuan Chen felt a bit helpless.
At this rate, it might be broken open before long.
It seemed he couldn't avoid taking action.
He checked what useful Spiritual Artifacts he still had in his hands.
Aha, this is the one!
Yuan Chen brought a sound-transmission talisman to his lips.
"Hello?"
"Dad, are you there? Are you there?"
After a while, he put down the sound-transmission talisman.
He stared coldly at Yuan Da in mid-air.
As if no one else knew how to call for backup.
Heh!
Ridiculous!
As for fighting him, he couldn't win.
Not long after, Yuan Ji's voice rang out from outside.
"I wonder why Big Brother is attacking my son's mansion."
"Damn it! That is my mansion."
"But now it belongs to Chen'er."
Yuan Ji shook his head and said disapprovingly.
Yuan Da felt his liver ache, but now was not the time to argue about this.
His priority was to get his son back.
"We can talk about this when Dad gets back. You first make Yuan Chen hand over my son."
Yuan Ji looked toward Yuan Chen's direction in confusion.
He had just been summoned by Yuan Chen and didn't know what had happened yet.
At this point, Yuan Chen didn't need to hide anymore.
With his father here, and his mother had followed as well.
Both of them had been out adventuring for many years; Yuan Ji alone was much stronger than Yuan Da.
As for the other three.
Two were experts of the Yao Race under Yuan Da.
They might help out, but would they dare to attack Yuan Ji?
The last one was a woman, presumably Yuan An's mother.
His own mother could completely handle her.
Yuan Chen stood beside Yuan Ji and his wife.
He said casually, "Your son dared to harass my wife, so I've already butchered him."
Yuan Da looked at him deeply and didn't say another word.
He took a perfectly intact Soul Jade Slip from his bosom.
"Hmm…"
Yuan Chen fell into deep thought.
