293: Chapter 293 Fainted
Hearing Cang Mingyue's conclusion, Su Chen breathed a sigh of relief.
But soon,
Jiang Luoli noticed something was off.
She looked at Teacher Wang Jin's tightly closed eyes and the way she was being carried out by Su Chen in a comatose state,
and asked a critical question.
"Um... since you said Teacher Wang has been cured, why hasn't she woken up yet?"
At this question, Cang Mingyue's pretty face flushed red again.
Her legs beneath her skirt also began to tremble slightly.
"Senior sister, actually... this is my fault."
Su Chen chuckled and scratched the back of his head.
In an instant, the four women, except for Su Wanyue, understood what was going on.
After all,
although Su Chen's cultivation was only at the seventh rank,
his talent in ( ) could be described as extraordinary.
In the villa constructed within the formation,
even with their Transcendence Realm strength, and even taking turns to ( ),
they were still left thoroughly exhausted by ( ).
Their four pairs of long legs had turned into eight limp noodles.
It was not hard to imagine.
For Teacher Wang Jin, who only had a ninth-rank cultivation, to ( ) with Su Chen all by herself right after recovering from a serious injury...
it was not incomprehensible that she was now unconscious in his arms.
Only one person present remained completely bewildered.
Su Wanyue.
She anxiously held Teacher Wang Jin's hand and looked with a strange expression at her deeply embarrassed brother and the other four red-faced 'sisters'.
She kept asking,
"No, really, why hasn't Teacher Wang Jin woken up yet?"
"Say something! Why are you all silent..."
Facing his pure and innocent little sister,
Su Chen finally took her hand and said rather awkwardly,
"Well... some things are better left unknown for kids..."
...
Several hours later.
In the central meeting room of the Huayu Association.
Su Chen sat in the main seat.
And before him,
was his harem of six, all staring at each other.
Come to think of it,
this was the first time Su Chen was facing his six harem members so formally and openly like this.
But in this situation,
no one knew what to say.
The air in the entire meeting room fell into a bizarre, silent atmosphere.
In the end,
it was the newly awakened Teacher Wang Jin who stood up first.
After a round of ( ), Teacher Wang Jin seemed to have changed quite a bit.
She wore an extremely ladylike black mesh dress.
The hemline accentuated her voluptuous figure.
The two long legs beneath the black skirt were completely unadorned,
yet they looked flawlessly natural.
Her hair was also tied up.
The iron lady who previously only knew how to use a saber now actually had a touch of a mature, beautiful wife's charm.
She walked over to the large coffee machine in the center of the meeting room.
After operating it for a bit,
she brought over a tray containing several cups of brewed coffee and approached Zhuge Jinyu and the others.
"Everyone, have a taste."
Except for Su Wanyue and Jiang Luoli, who came here often,
the other three women picked up their cups and took a sip.
Zhuge Jinyu frowned slightly.
"It's alright. A bit bitter, but acceptable."
Teacher Wang Jin was taken aback.
The keen intuition unique to women allowed her to see through it instantly.
Zhuge Jinyu's words had a double meaning.
She was dropping a hint to Teacher Wang Jin.
"You aren't a very good match for Mister, but since you saved his sister and Mister chose to accept you, I can only accept it too. However, it's impossible for me to be satisfied with you."
"Xiao Yu, if you think the coffee is bitter, Mister has some sugar here..."
Halfway through his sentence, Su Chen, sitting in the main seat, realized.
What Zhuge Jinyu was talking about right now had nothing to do with whether the coffee was sweet or not.
He hurriedly stopped his half-spoken words.
"Um... Xiao Yu, how does it compare to the fine wine you used to drink in Daqian?"
"The wine was still more bitter."
Zhuge Jinyu took another small sip and placed the coffee saucer on the table.
The underlying meaning of her words was:
"Mister, I waited for you for thousands of years. My waiting was much more bitter than any of theirs. If you truly care, favor me a bit more, and stop attracting other women in the future."
Hearing this, Su Chen was already breaking out in a cold sweat.
Su Wanyue, sitting at the end of the table, had already downed her coffee in one gulp.
Seeing Su Chen and Zhuge Jinyu exchanging words, she asked curiously,
"Brother, what are you and Sister zhuge talking about?"
"By the way, sisters-in-law, how did you all meet my brother?"
After several rounds of verbal sparring, Su Chen could basically understand the hidden meanings behind their words.
For example, what Su Wanyue was asking right now was actually:
"Brother, while I was asleep, where did you go to have orgies with these big sisters?"
Su Chen knew that if he tried to explain the Angel Investment System and reincarnation right now, Su Wanyue would hardly understand it.
So, he changed to an explanation that wasn't exactly a lie.
"Well... sis, back when you were lying in the hospital, your brother was injured and needed money for treatment. So while I was working odd jobs everywhere to make money, I met these big sisters..."
(The subtext: "It was all for you!")
Su Wanyue pouted with some dissatisfaction.
"Is that so, Brother? You care about me so much, but why weren't you by my side when I woke up?"
"Instead, you were... by these sisters' sides."
"Do you know how despairing I felt when I woke up and found no one around?"
This was a direct, straight-to-the-point shot.
Just as Su Chen was at a loss for how to respond, Ye Jingjun came to his rescue.
"Hall Master Zhuge and I had a mission on the East Sea. If I had known you woke up, we would have definitely finished faster and sent your brother back sooner."
(The subtext: "This is all Zhuge Jinyu's fault. She didn't even notice her husband's sister was in danger, yet she went and found so many new women outside. Does someone like her deserve to be the first wife? Hmph!")
Immediately after, her red eyes swept over Su Wanyue and Teacher Wang Jin.
"So you are Su Wanyue, my husband's sister?"
She emphasized the word 'sister' heavily.
Her words carried multiple layers of meaning.
She hinted at Su Wanyue's young age, pointed out her status as just a 'sister',
and finally showed off her own knowledge and information advantage over her.
This speech was incredibly sophisticated.
Su Wanyue: "...Hello."
(The subtext: "You're jumping out to claim the first wife spot too? Is it really your place to jump? Have you forgotten the lessons you learned from Zhuge Jinyu? I can't even be bothered to deal with you.")
And while the verbal sparring was going on here,
the quirky Cang Mingyue had already left her seat.
She slipped behind Su Chen.
Her pitiful, watery blue eyes blinked at Su Chen.
"Young Master Su..."
How could an old-fashioned guy like Su Chen withstand such a temptation?
He let out a sigh,
allowing Cang Mingyue to lean smilingly against his back.
In an instant, the sensation of two giant bowling balls pressing against his back came from behind.
"Why is Sister Jingjun being so aggressive today? Sister Wanyue is Su Chen's family, so why make things difficult for her?"
