348: Chapter 348 Master's Forced Love

Looking at her younger sister's incoherent and infinitely shy appearance.

The resentment in Bai Suzhen's eyes gradually dissipated.

She sighed helplessly, only able to force a smile.

Heaven's will plays tricks on people; karma cycles.

Who would have thought that after all the precautions, it would ultimately fall upon her own younger sister?

"Fine."

Bai Suzhen gently reached out, rubbed Xiao Qing's head, and suppressed the sourness in her heart.

Anyway, the secret technique only stated that eight Phoenix Girls were needed to neutralize it.

But it didn't say only eight were needed.

When Su Chen turns eighteen and gets married.

With her status as Bai Suzhen, if she were to forcefully join as the matriarch of the harem, probably no one would dare to say anything.

"This divination of yours is a secret of my Cangmang Sacred Land, never to be passed on. It points directly to the origin of the Heavenly Dao and will never be wrong."

"Since the result is you, then it should be you."

"This is also Chen'er's fortune. With you to back him up in the end, I can rest assured."

With that, Bai Suzhen turned around.

She deeply etched the eight names floating in the void into the depths of her mind.

Her gentle demeanor suddenly changed.

The terrifying pressure of a Great Demon at the peak of Tribulation Transcendence, the world's strongest expert, erupted within this small cave.

"I've remembered these names."

Bai Suzhen's phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, her white robes rustling without wind.

At this moment, she seamlessly switched to the mode of a protective Great Demon.

"Starting tomorrow, I will personally visit these Sacred Lands and Immortal Dynasties."

"With my reputation as Bai Suzhen and the foundation of the Cangmang Sacred Land, I can at least ensure that my Chen'er can legitimately cultivate in a different Sacred Land each year between the ages of ten and eighteen."

She turned her head, looking dotingly at Little Su Chen, who was still in a daze.

"Chen'er, as for whether you can capture the hearts of these Heavenly Maidens during this year of living together, and make them willingly commit themselves to you when they turn eighteen."

"That will depend on your own fortune and charm."

"However..."

Bai Suzhen's tone shifted, and a chilling glint flashed in her phoenix eyes.

"The child raised by Bai Suzhen is the most outstanding man in this world."

"Even if... even if, for the sake of argument, you fail to capture the hearts of these women."

"On the day you turn eighteen, even if it means flattening the Great Qian Immortal Dynasty, even if it means overturning the Sword Qi Great Wall."

"I, your Master, will personally take action and forcibly bring these women back."

"To your bed..."

"To get married to you!"

These words were uttered with resounding force.

Little Su Chen stared blankly at his Master, who was like a protective lioness, and a warm current surged in his heart.

Yet, he couldn't help but inwardly smile bitterly.

This was truly... the most hardcore way to save one's life.

However, he secretly made up his mind.

If his life could be saved.

He, Su Chen, would certainly not treat Bai Suzhen unfairly.

...

And so, the matter was settled in this hidden cave.

In the following days, the upper echelons of the entire Linghe Realm experienced an unprecedented earthquake.

Bai Suzhen, the Cangmang Sacred Master, who had been rumored to be in seclusion for many years and was rarely seen, unexpectedly emerged from seclusion.

Furthermore, she began to personally visit various Sacred Lands and Immortal Dynasties in a conspicuously high-profile manner to lobby them.

As for the content of her lobbying, that was not something outsiders could know. (After all, Bai Suzhen knew that if the matter of selecting Phoenix Girls leaked out, the Black Dragon would definitely emerge and obstruct her.)

Of course, this excluded the merchant family named Teacher Wang Jin located downstream of the Spirit River.

For such a mundane merchant.

The world's strongest expert personally visiting required no negotiation capital whatsoever.

Bai Suzhen merely casually tossed down a top-grade elixir that could extend life by a hundred years.

The head of that merchant family was already so excited that he knelt and kowtowed, expressing boundless gratitude.

He wished he could immediately wash and package his daughter to send her to the Cangmang Sacred Land.

However, for the forces truly at the pinnacle of the Linghe Realm's hierarchy.

The situation was much more subtle.

Initially, when the leaders of the various major forces.

Heard that the reclusive Sacred Master Bai wanted to arrange for her personal disciple.

To 'exchange cultivation' for a year with their most beloved Saintess and Empress.

These heads of affairs were practically overjoyed to the point of fainting.

The Cangmang Sacred Master!

She was openly the strongest in the world.

Although they were also top forces in the Linghe Realm,

If they could establish a friendship with her only personal disciple, or even facilitate a good marriage.

Their own influence would undoubtedly rise to a new level in the Linghe Realm.

However.

When this news reached the ears of the Heavenly Maidens involved.

Zhuge Jinyu, Ye Jingjun, Cang Mingyue, Demon Concubine Su Daji, Wanyue, and Jiang Luoli.

Their reactions were surprisingly consistent.

At first, upon hearing that a man was coming to live and cultivate with them for a year.

These six Heavenly Maidens, each with a unique personality and arrogant disposition.

Unanimously showed strong aversion and even murderous intent.

Ye Jingjun, who cultivated the ruthless dao, even drew her longsword, vowing to cut that lecher into eight pieces.

Great Yin Empress Jiang Luoli sneered repeatedly, ordering that if he dared approach her, she would turn that ignorant boy into a human pig.

This did not surprise Bai Suzhen.

After all, geniuses without a bit of individuality were truly too rare.

However.

When they, with cold faces, stepped forward to ask Bai Suzhen.

"May I ask, Sacred Master Bai, what is the name of that audacious scoundrel who dares to cultivate with this Empress (this Venerable One)?"

At that moment.

Bai Suzhen, neither humble nor arrogant, calmly uttered the name.

"My disciple, Su Chen."

The moment the two words "Su Chen" echoed in these women's ears.

Time seemed to freeze for them.

The person preparing to draw her sword found her half-drawn longsword frozen in its sheath.

The person preparing to refuse found her cold and ruthless eyes contracting violently.

Their lofty dignity crumbled.

Under Bai Suzhen's astonished gaze.

These six decisive and ice-cold women.

Without exception, a few seconds after hearing this name.

Their originally cold faces melted like ice and snow.

Their brows and eyes, in unison, curved into extremely beautiful crescent shapes.

"His name is... Su Chen?"

After confirming that these two characters were not homophones.

Zhuge Jinyu put away her feather fan, her eyes like water.

Ye Jingjun released the sword hilt, her cheeks slightly flushed.

Demon Concubine Su Daji licked her red lips, her fox eyes filled with fervent passion.

"This Empress (I) agrees."

No bargaining, no hesitation.

They agreed so readily, so impatiently.

Oh, to say there was no bargaining wouldn't be entirely accurate.

More than one woman suggested if Su Chen could stay for a few more years.
