421: Chapter 421 The Women's Thoughts Cause Unease for the Golden Crow Clan

"Ah! Fifty-two of them! Brother Cao actually took in so many sisters this time!" The women couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, their faces filled with expressions of disbelief.

"Yeah, yeah! The last time Brother Cao took in so many beauties, it was to find maidservants for us!" one woman added.

For a moment, everyone was talking at once, seemingly very surprised by this outcome. They had originally thought Brother Cao would only take in a few sisters this time, but they hadn't expected him to take in so many all at once.

"Looking at it this way, we all lost the bet, but you could also say we all won!" one woman suddenly blurted out, leaving everyone feeling a bit amused and exasperated.

Cao Yang looked at the surprised expressions of the women, the corners of his mouth curling up into a faint smile as he asked, "What? With so many of you, not a single person got it right?"

"You can't blame us, Brother Cao! Who knew you'd take in so many sisters at once this time!" Second Senior Sister Su Xuan said with a coquettish pout, while also vigorously shaking Cao Yang's arm as if to scold him.

"That's right! I say you can't blame the sisters for guessing incorrectly; you can only blame Brother Cao for not playing by the rules and taking in so many sisters this time!" Long Xiaoxiao followed up, raising her small hand and hitting Cao Yang's chest a few times, seemingly with force. However, the strength was as light as a passing breeze, carrying no real power at all.

"Cao Lang, this is truly unexpected! You actually took in so many Golden Crow Goddesses as your Dao Companions at once. If the Old Ancestors of the Golden Crow Clan find out, they'll probably be fuming, won't they?" Ouyang Liuli sighed with a face full of helplessness.

She really hadn't expected Cao Lang to be so bold as to bring so many Golden Crow Goddesses into his harem all at once. One had to know that the Golden Crow Clan had been quite hospitable to Cao Yang and them; they had received a grand welcome and treatment as soon as they arrived at the Golden Crow Clan.

Not only that, but an Old Ancestor of the Golden Crow Clan had personally come forward to show great kindness and respect to Cao Yang. To welcome Cao Yang's arrival, the Golden Crow Clan had even specially held a magnificent welcome banquet, the scale of which was staggering.

However, now Cao Lang had done such a thing, practically sweeping up all the Golden Crow Goddesses in one go. This was undoubtedly a heavy blow to the Old Ancestors of the Golden Crow Clan. Ouyang Liuli couldn't help but worry that if the Old Ancestors of the Golden Crow Clan learned of this news, they might be so angry they'd fly into a rage, and might even have a fierce conflict with Cao Yang.

"Revered Master, you can rest assured. These Golden Crow Goddesses I've taken in all became my Dao Companions willingly; I never forced any of them. Therefore, even if the Old Ancestors of the Golden Crow Clan learn of this, they will find no reason to make things difficult for me. At most, they might be slightly displeased, but over time, they will naturally come to terms with it." Cao Yang's lips curled into a faint smile as he gently shook his head, appearing as though he didn't care about the matter at all.

Then, Cao Yang changed the subject and continued, "Besides, I haven't exactly done nothing for these fifty-two Golden Crow Goddesses who have become my Dao Companions. In fact, I've helped them Breakthrough several Realms! At the very least, they've gained two or three minor Realms, and at most, five or six. In this way, I can be considered to have made some contribution to the overall strength of the Golden Crow Clan."

Fourth Senior Sister Fu Xiaoya also nodded with a relaxed expression. "Junior Brother is right. Even if the Golden Crow Clan Old Ancestors find out that Junior Brother has taken a large number of their Golden Crow Goddesses as Dao Companions, they won't come looking for trouble. They might even come to congratulate or thank Junior Brother."

"Oh? Sister Xiaoya, why do you say that?" Long Xiaoxiao blinked her large eyes, looking at Xiaoya with suspicion. "Brother Cao took so many goddesses from the Golden Crow Clan at once; this is no small matter for them! The men of the Golden Crow Clan will probably face the predicament of not being able to find Dao Companions! Moreover, with so many Golden Crow Goddesses taken by Brother Cao, this will undoubtedly have a huge impact on the Golden Crow Clan's Legacy and reproduction, and might even lead to the rise or fall of their people!"

The more Long Xiaoxiao spoke, the more she felt her analysis made sense. She couldn't help but frown and continue, "As a top-tier race in the Chaos, how could the Golden Crow Clan remain indifferent to this? It's already good enough if they don't come to attack Brother Cao; how could they possibly thank or congratulate him? It's truly hard to understand!"

Hearing Long Xiaoxiao's words, the other women also nodded in agreement. They felt Long Xiaoxiao's view was very reasonable. After all, the Golden Crow Goddesses were the treasures of the clan; with so many taken by Cao Yang at once, the Golden Crow Clan certainly wouldn't let it slide.

It wouldn't be surprising if, after some time, the Clan Chief of the Golden Crow Clan arrived aggressively with their Old Ancestors to demand an explanation from Cao Yang. By then, a soul-stirring and exceptionally fierce conflict might be unavoidable.

Upon hearing this, some of Cao Yang's Dao Companions grew increasingly restless, even starting to worry for him. After all, although Cao Yang was powerful, the Golden Crow Clan was presided over by ten Old Ancestors in the Chaos Emperor Realm!

Not only that, but while they were wandering and playing around the Golden Crow Clan during these three months, they had also accidentally heard many legends about the Queen, the Fifth Ancestor of the Golden Crow Clan.

It was said that this Queen once went directly to someone's door to demand justice for a Golden Crow Goddess who had been humiliated outside, completely disregarding that the other party also had a Chaos Emperor Realm powerhouse backing them. Not only that, she had ruthlessly killed the opponent's Chaos Emperor Realm powerhouse on the spot, her methods being so decisive it was staggering.

If this powerful Queen learned that Cao Yang had made fifty-two Golden Crow Goddesses of her clan his Dao Companions, it would undoubtedly be a provocation and offense to her authority. She would likely be infuriated and come straight to his door to demand accountability.

Thinking of this, a trace of worry and unease couldn't help but well up in the hearts of the women.

Although Cao Yang had already explained the situation to them, they still couldn't completely dispel this worry deep in their hearts.

After all, the power and majesty of this Queen were well-known; once she became angry, the consequences would likely be unpredictable.

Most of the veteran women among them were not worried about Cao Yang's safety, because they knew he had the Invincible Domain. Instead, they were worried that the Golden Crow Clan would be beaten by Cao Yang and lose all face in the Chaos.

After all, the Golden Crow Clan had been so friendly to Cao Yang and them; they didn't want anything unpleasant to happen within the Golden Crow Clan.
