131: Chapter 131 Xiao Shiyi Lang? Xiao Shisan Niang?

Xiao Xiao was stunned, her mouth slightly agape.

The candy in Ximen Hou's mouth fell out as his eyes widened.

Naran Yanran held her soup bowl, her chopsticks suspended in mid-air, her entire body seemingly frozen as if her acupoints had been struck.

Xiao Eleven Wolf? Xiao Thirteen Lady?

Why did these names sound so familiar?

"Brother, did you copy these names from somewhere?" Xiao Xiao asked in a low voice.

"Copy?" Xiao Xie had a serious look on his face. "How is that possible? I wracked my brains to come up with these; they are absolutely original."

Ximen Hou picked up the candy from the ground, blew off the dust, and stuffed it back into his mouth, saying indistinctly, "Boss, why do I feel... it's a bit strange?"

"Strange?" Xiao Xie looked down at the cub in his arms named 'Xiao Thirteen Lady'. The little fellow rolled over and yawned, completely unaware of the name it now bore. "It's not strange at all, it sounds great. Xiao Eleven Wolf sounds like a real fighter. Xiao Thirteen Lady sounds very beautiful."

Xiao Xiao looked down at the 'Xiao Eleven Wolf' in her arms, who was still frantically biting at the air, and then at the 'Xiao Thirteen Lady' sleeping soundly in her brother's arms. She felt something was off, but couldn't quite put her finger on it.

Naran Yanran finally snapped out of it, set down her soup bowl, and said expressionlessly, "Does your father know you're naming them like this?"

Xiao Xie said righteously, "My father said that naming things should be done according to one's whims."

"My father often regrets that the names he gave us siblings weren't flamboyant enough!"

Naran Yanran's mouth twitched. She silently picked up her soup bowl, deciding not to engage in this topic anymore.

She was afraid that if they continued talking, she would be led astray as well.

Outside the window, the mountain wind blew gently.

The two Silver-Winged Heavenly Wolf cubs, one male and one female, now had their own names—Xiao Eleven Wolf and Xiao Thirteen Lady.

As for whether they would bite Xiao Xie out of hatred when they grew up? That was hard to say.

Scene Change: Great Gan Imperial Palace

"Wah—!"

With a loud cry, Xiao Ye joyfully welcomed another scion.

Ding! Congratulations to the host for birthing a scion with Earth-Grade High Grade Spiritual Roots! Rewards: Nine years of Cultivation! Twenty years of Alchemy experience! Immortal-Binding Rope ×1!

This was already the third scion born this month.

Xiao Ye looked at the dense reward records on the System panel, his smile widening from ear to ear.

As the number of concubines increased, the pressure of sowing seeds also grew, but the harvest was equally bountiful.

Now, his Cultivation had smoothly reached the Nascent Soul Peak. With a bit more refinement, he could Breakthrough to Soul Transformation at any time.

However—there was no rush to Breakthrough; taking in concubines was the real priority.

Indeed, another concubine was to be brought into the palace tomorrow. He heard she was the Goddess of a major Sect, possessing Heaven-Grade High Grade Spiritual Roots, and was so beautiful she could cause the downfall of nations, like a living Su Da.

Xiao Ye stayed up late having a 'Su Da themed' outfit prepared, waiting to fight for three hundred rounds tomorrow night.

Just then—

"Master! This is bad!" Li Fu rushed in, stumbling and crawling, his face pale. "The Luoxia Sect... wants to break the engagement!"

"Huh?" Xiao Ye was stunned, thinking he had misheard. "Break the engagement? What on earth?"

He set down the Su Da outfit and rubbed his chin. Countless novel tropes flashed through his mind—'the trash protagonist gets his engagement broken at the start, then goes to slap their faces after a three-year promise.' He was very familiar with this routine.

But the problem was, he didn't look like trash no matter how you viewed it, right? Break his engagement? Who gave them the courage?

"Li Fu, who is the one breaking the engagement?" Xiao Ye leaned back on his dragon throne, crossed his legs, and asked unhurriedly.

"In response to Master, it is the Saintess of the Luoxia Sect—Su Da."

"Su Da? Isn't that the concubine entering the palace tomorrow?" Xiao Ye's eyes lit up; now this engagement definitely couldn't be broken.

"Let's go," Xiao Ye stood up and brushed off his robes. "To the Luoxia Sect. I want to see who dares to break my engagement."

"Master, should we bring troops?" Li Fu asked cautiously.

"Bring troops for what?" Xiao Ye drew the sun moon divine sword, and a flash of sword light erupted. "Bringing this is enough."

A-Diao dove down from the sky and landed steadily in front of Xiao Ye, letting out a 'ji' sound and spitting a string of sparks.

Xiao Ye patted its head and flipped onto its back. "Let's go, A-Diao!"

Daring to break my, Xiao Ye's, engagement? I want to see what kind of monsters and demons are tired of living.

Behind him, Li Fu wiped the sweat from his forehead.

He felt that the Luoxia Sect was going to be in big trouble this time—daring to pull a tooth from a tiger's mouth, they were either crazy or thought their lives were too long.

At this moment, tens of thousands of miles away at the Luoxia Sect, Su Da sat in her boudoir, clutching a letter, her brows furrowed.

Outside the window, dusk was falling and the mountain wind wailed, as if forecasting an approaching storm.

Inside the main hall of the Luoxia Sect.

As soon as Xiao Ye entered, his eyes lit up—

Standing on the left was an eighteen or nineteen-year-old girl in a pink dress. She had dark eyebrows, snowy skin, bright eyes, and jade-like lips; she was extremely beautiful, and a hint of cunning light occasionally flickered in her pitch-black pupils.

In terms of looks, the girl was already a peerless beauty, but compared to the beautiful woman sitting next to her, she seemed dull and lackluster.

That beautiful woman had a gentle and elegant face, possessing ten thousand kinds of grace.

Her waterfall-like black hair was coiled high, her skin was lustrous and white, and her red lips were as bright as cherries. Even with lightly touched eyebrows and no makeup, she still couldn't hide her peerless beauty.

Beneath her slightly furrowed crescent brows, her beautiful eyes were misty, containing a magic that made one lose their soul.

Even more incredible was her figure—her waist was as slender as a weak willow, yet the snowy clothes over her chest rose high, as if they would burst at any moment.

Even while sitting, those alluring curves were still outlined like a demon's, protruding to a heart-stopping degree.

If Li Fu hadn't said they were mother and daughter, no one would doubt that they were clearly a pair of sisters!

Ding! Top-tier beauty detected.

—This mother-daughter pair is too top-tier. It's not impossible for them to enter the palace together.

"Mother, I received the 'Saintess Selection Qualification Notice' from the Tianshan Holy Land. I want to go be a Saintess; I don't want to marry this Great Gan faint-headed ruler!" The girl hugged the beautiful woman's arm, acting coquettishly with a face full of reluctance.

Opposite them, Xiao Ye's mouth twitched—faint-headed ruler? When did I become a faint-headed ruler?

Don't I just want to give every Fairy a home? Is there something wrong with that?

Besides, it's just a qualification for a crappy Holy Land's Saintess selection, it's not a notice telling you that you've become the Saintess. Who are you showing this arrogance to?

Now that you want to marry, I don't even want you anymore!

"Sect Master Su, your daughter wants to break the engagement?" Xiao Ye leaned back in his chair, crossed his legs, and spoke with a smile, "It's not impossible."

The beautiful woman's brow relaxed slightly, and she quickly asked, "Oh? What are the conditions? Please speak, Emperor Xiao."

Xiao Ye's gaze swept over her body several times, and his mouth curled into a grin: "You take your daughter's place and enter the palace to be my concubine."

"..."

The hall was silent for a full three seconds.

The girl was stunned, the beautiful woman's face flushed red instantly, and the nearby maid almost dropped the teacup in her hand.

"You—!" The girl glared with rounded eyes, fuming with anger.

Xiao Ye spread his hands and said righteously, "What's wrong? Didn't you want to break the engagement? I agreed, it's just a change of person. Your mother is much better looking than you."

The beautiful woman's face was red as she bit her lip, unable to speak for a long time.

The girl stomped her foot: "In your dreams! I won't marry, and my mother won't marry either. Forced melons aren't sweet, don't you know that!"

"But they quench thirst," Xiao Ye held up a finger and corrected her with a smile. "Anyway, one of you two has to come to the palace with me today."
