386: Chapter 386 Once a year? That won't do!

"Since that is the case, let us bypass it!" Cao Yang said decisively.

After all, whether killing this Chaos Star-Armor Beast would yield rewards of hongmeng sign-in counts was still an unknown; the System said no, so Cao Yang naturally would not do such a futile task.

Moreover, judging by Lan Xin's meaning, this Chaos Star-Armor Beast seemed rather sinister, so there was really no need to provoke it.

"That is right, Brother Cao, let us not provoke it!" Tian Qing's voice revealed a trace of worry.

She was truly terrified; although Cao Yang possessed the Invincible Domain and his strength could be called invincible, this Chaos Star-Armor Beast was simply too bizarre.

It was actually able to make a powerhouse in the Chaos Emperor Realm die silently; this was truly too terrifying!

"Fine, I will listen to Brother Cao," Jinwu Lanxin replied obediently, nodding lightly at the same time.

This action of hers was completely different from the arrogant and domineering image Tian Qing had seen before, which made Tian Qing feel very surprised!

Tian Qing secretly sighed in her heart: "Wow, Brother Cao is truly too amazing! His strength is simply unfathomable; to be able to conquer that female powerhouse of the High-level Chaos Domain Lord Realm so easily is simply incredible! My admiration for Brother Cao is like a surging river, continuous and endless!"

However, at this very moment, Tian Qing had not realized that Jinwu Lanxin's strength had already undergone a huge change; she was no longer in the High-level Chaos Domain Lord Realm but had successfully broken through to the Elementary Chaos Supreme Realm.

Just as Tian Qing was still immersed in her praise of Cao Yang, Cao Yang brought Tian Qing and Jinwu Lanxin back to the xin-shen vessel.

Ouyang Liuli and Cao Yang's other Dao Companions saw the three of them return and immediately gathered around like a group of happy birds.

"Cao Lang~"

"Brother Cao~"

"husband~"

"husband~"

...

For a time, various affectionate terms rose and fell; these women were all calling Cao Yang's name in their own unique, shy ways, as if he were the only sun in their hearts.

Facing this group of chattering women, a look of helplessness could not help but appear on Jinwu Lanxin's face.

She whispered to Tian Qing next to her: "Sister Qing'er, are you still used to life here?"

Tian Qing smiled and nodded, seemingly still immersed in a certain pleasant atmosphere, and said lingeringly: "Sister Lan Xin, once you get along with the other sisters for a while, you will naturally understand. Actually, the sisters are all very easy to get along with! I was also a bit dismissive of Brother Cao having many wives and concubines at first, thinking that such a man was too fickle. However, when I truly went to understand him and the other sisters, I realized that having many sisters actually has its own unique fun!"

Jinwu Lanxin could not help but feel suspicious; in just a few short days, what exactly made Tian Qing undergo such a huge transformation? She had actually turned from disdain to approval of Cao Yang, and even encouraged him to take in more sisters.

Looking at the sincere smile on Tian Qing's face, Jinwu Lanxin sighed secretly, thinking to herself: "This sister must be confused; how could she be willing to share her Dao Companion with more people?"

One must know that Jinwu Lanxin was from the noble Golden Crow Clan in the Chaos, with an extremely revered status. How could she tolerate sharing a Dao Companion with other women?

Although the matter was already set in stone and she could not change the current situation, she must do her best in the future to prevent Brother Cao from seeking new Dao Companions.

However, it would likely be difficult to achieve this goal on her own; she must win over these sisters in front of her to act together, only then would there be hope of success.

Thus, Jinwu Lanxin carefully pulled Tian Qing to a quiet corner, lowered her voice, and suggested with a worried look: "Sister Qing'er, I feel that your way of thinking is a bit inappropriate. Although the sisters are all very good, have you thought about it? If Brother Cao continues to take in new Dao Companions without stopping, won't our sisters become more and more numerous? A few hundred might still be acceptable, but what if there are thousands or even tens of thousands? By then, the time we can spend with Brother Cao will definitely become less and less! Maybe we will have to wait several years just to have a chance to be intimate with Brother Cao once!"

Hearing Jinwu Lanxin's words, Tian Qing could not help but frown slightly, revealing a look of hesitation. After pondering for a moment, she said slowly: "But Sister Lan Xin, I heard from other sisters that the reason Brother Cao wants to collect those outstanding women as Dao Companions is that this can collect more energy, thereby helping us and Brother Cao himself break through to higher Realms. If we stop Brother Cao from taking Dao Companions, how can we quickly improve our own cultivation base in the future? Moreover, will doing this make Cao Yang unhappy?"

"Is that so?" Hearing this, Jinwu Lanxin could not help but knit her brows tightly, her heart full of doubts.

"Yes, yes, Sister Lan Xin, this matter is absolutely true!" Tian Qing nodded repeatedly, saying with a firm tone.

She had just experienced the joy and satisfaction of breaking through a Realm, so she naturally did not want to bury herself in hard cultivation like in the past, longing to continue breaking through to higher Realms. However, at the thought of what Jinwu Lanxin said, that they might only be able to spend that time with Brother Cao once a year in the future, her heart could not help but give birth to some worry.

Although Tian Qing had previously witnessed several sisters doing that with Brother Cao together, she was still unable to accept this situation at present.

Seeing this, Jinwu Lanxin immediately spread her Divine Sense, like a radar, and began to carefully scan these Dao Companions of Brother Cao.

After a moment, Jinwu Lanxin retracted her Divine Sense and said with a face full of surprise: "Sister Qing'er, this is truly too strange! Brother Cao's Dao Companions are all people with thick Luck and possess Universe Luck. Do they possess such powerful Luck inherently, or is it because of Brother Cao? Do you know the reason?"

Tian Qing thought for a little while, then replied: "Sister Lan Xin, Brother Cao's Dao Companions were all people who carried a large amount of Luck originally..."

However, before she finished her words, as if she suddenly realized some important matter, her emotions became a bit agitated: "Oh my, that's not right! Sister Lan Xin, did you just want to say that the Dao Companions Brother Cao needs must not only be women of extreme beauty, but more importantly, they must possess Luck, right?"

Jinwu Lanxin nodded hurriedly and replied affirmatively: "That's right! Sister Qing'er, I just observed the other sisters, and the situation is indeed as you thought. So, in the future, we must try our best to prevent those beauties with thin Luck from approaching Brother Cao. As long as Brother Cao only accepts beauties with deep Luck, the speed of our new sisters increasing should not be that fast."

Jinwu Lanxin's face was filled with excitement and anticipation; she continued: "Sister Qing'er, this is a brilliant idea! In the future, we can work together to win over other sisters and protect Brother Cao together."

Hearing Jinwu Lanxin's words, Tian Qing could not help but laugh, the corners of her mouth lifting slightly, revealing a sly smile: "Sister Lan Xin, your idea is truly great! In the future, we will do just that and protect Brother Cao together."

Jinwu Lanxin's eyes also lit up, and she replied happily: "Yes, yes, yes, Sister Qing'er is absolutely right! We are doing this entirely to protect Brother Cao."

The two women smiled at each other, as if they had a tacit understanding, and then, holding hands, they walked slowly in the direction of Cao Yang and the other sisters.

Cao Yang was chatting and laughing with Ouyang Liuli and other Dao Companions at this time; suddenly, his gaze caught the figures of Jinwu Lanxin and Qing'er, and a happy smile immediately appeared on his face.

He hurriedly waved to Jinwu Lanxin and called out softly: "Xin'er, Qing'er, hurry over here." Although his voice was not loud, the affection contained within it was overflowing.

Jinwu Lanxin and Qing'er heard Cao Yang's call, looked at each other, and then quickened their pace, walking to Cao Yang's side.

After the two women stood firm, Cao Yang then turned his attention back to Ouyang Liuli and the other Dao Companions, and introduced with a smile: "Babies, let me introduce you. Everyone should be very familiar with this one; she is Tian Qing. I assume you all know that she has become my Dao Companion. From now on, she is your sister."

Cao Yang paused slightly, then reached out to pull Jinwu Lanxin, and said gently: "And this one is Jinwu Lanxin, whom you might not be very familiar with. The Golden Crow Clan is a very powerful race in the Chaos. Xin'er herself possesses the strength of the Elementary Chaos Supreme Realm, which is equivalent to my Realm. In the future, when I am not around, Xin'er can work with Qing'er and Sipan to protect everyone's safety."

"Qing'er, hurry and lead Xin'er and Revered Master and the others over to get familiar with everyone." Cao Yang said to Tian Qing with a smile and a kind tone.

Tian Qing understood, nodded hurriedly in agreement, and then gently took Jinwu Lanxin's small hand, walking together towards Ouyang Liuli and the other Dao Companions.

Seeing this, Ouyang Liuli greeted them with a smile on her face and said enthusiastically: "Welcome, Sister Xin'er. From today on, you are a member of our Empress Palace!"

"That's right, Sister Xin'er, welcome!" The other sisters also echoed one after another, their faces filled with friendly smiles.

Seeing this, Jinwu Lanxin felt a warmth in her heart and hurriedly responded with a smile: "Thank you for the warm welcome, sisters. I will have to rely on you for your care in the future!" After speaking, she also gracefully bowed slightly to Ouyang Liuli and the other sisters to show her gratitude.

Looking at the harmonious scene of the women in front of him, a sense of satisfaction could not help but well up in Cao Yang's heart. The corners of his mouth lifted slightly, revealing a faint smile.

Cao Yang turned his head and instructed Xiao Xin beside him: "Xiao Xin, bypass the behemoth in front and continue moving forward." His voice was gentle yet firm, revealing a kind of self-confidence and decisiveness.

"Okay, Revered Master." Xiao Xin responded immediately, her voice crisp and melodious. As her words fell, the xin-shen vessel, like a flexible giant beast, lightly bypassed the behemoth in front and continued to shuttle through the Chaos.

In the following journey, Cao Yang would occasionally sign-in to see if he could obtain some precious rewards or Opportunities.

When encountering places with thick Chaos Fortune, he would even specifically let the xin-shen vessel pause for a while, and then exchange hongmeng sign-in counts for some cultivation base. In this way, their strength could be further improved.

However, besides these important matters, Cao Yang did not forget to enjoy the pleasures of life.

He would often randomly pick a Dao Companion and enter the Inner Universe together to spend a happy time.

In the Inner Universe, the passage of time had a huge difference from the outside Chaos. Especially after Cao Yang broke through to the Chaos Supreme Realm, this time difference was magnified to the extreme.

In the outside world, it often only passed a few seconds, but in the Inner Universe, more than ten days had already passed. Therefore, Cao Yang could make full use of this time to enjoy each other's company with every Dao Companion, making them full of energy, each with a rosy complexion and high spirits.

However, because there was an extra Jinwu Lanxin in the Chaos Supreme Realm, Cao Yang felt a bit overwhelmed when communicating with her. Jinwu Lanxin's strength and knowledge were very powerful; every time he discussed the Dao with her, Cao Yang needed to spend a lot of time and energy.

Not only that, Tian Qing's strength was also not to be underestimated; she also needed Cao Yang's long-term company and discussion. Facing these two powerful opponents, although Cao Yang felt slightly tired, he did not retreat but went all out to communicate with them.

Despite this, the other sisters were ecstatic because of Jinwu Lanxin's addition. They learned a lot of valuable knowledge and experience from Jinwu Lanxin and benefited a lot.

Jinwu Lanxin had traveled to many places in the Chaos and had a deeper understanding of Chaos than others. The women often pestered her to tell stories about strange things in the Chaos, and Jinwu Lanxin also enjoyed it, quickly becoming best friends with many sisters.

As for Cao Yang, sometimes he would also listen to Jinwu Lanxin's stories about strange things in the Chaos with great interest, completely unaware that his Dao Companions were secretly plotting, wanting him to take in fewer "vases" that had no practical use.

On this day, Cao Yang made an important decision—he used all the Chaos Cultivation he had painstakingly exchanged to improve the cultivation base of the women.

This decision was undoubtedly a huge surprise, even more so for the women. They felt Cao Yang's care and importance for them, and their hearts were filled with gratitude.

As Cao Yang's Chaos Cultivation was continuously injected into the women's bodies, their cultivation base also improved rapidly like a rocket. Those who were originally at the Peak Source Emperor Realm broke through the Bottleneck in the blink of an eye and stepped into the Realm of the Chaos Realm.

This Breakthrough made the women ecstatic because it meant that from then on, they could also move freely in the Chaos and explore a wider world.

However, in this jubilant atmosphere, two people seemed a bit depressed; they were Jinwu Lanxin and Tian Qing.

Originally, they had planned a scheme, hoping to win over more sisters to join them. However, because Cao Yang helped the women improve their cultivation base this time, many sisters who were originally hesitant changed their minds and chose to quit their plan.

This was undoubtedly a heavy blow to Jinwu Lanxin and Tian Qing. They had already faced resistance from quite a few sisters, and now that so many people had quit, it made their plan even more difficult.

However, fortunately, some sisters chose to stay and expressed tacit approval of their plan.

Although the number of people was smaller than expected, at least there was still hope.
