442: The most perfect life

“Alright, quiet down, everyone. I called you here to discuss your upcoming outdoor training!” Chen Xuan finally walked over and said when he saw that everyone had said enough.

“Father!”

“Daddy!”

Upon hearing about going outside, all the Little fellows gathered around, their faces full of excitement.

They had already explored all these Small Worlds, and because most Cultivators had no Cultivation talent, they had long grown tired of it.

Youth always yearns for the outside world, so at this moment, the Little fellows, including Chen Ping'an, were all hyped up.

If he wasn't so bored, why would he bother becoming an emperor?

“Husband, the children’s Cultivation is not enough. Should we wait a bit longer?” Zhou Jingyi's face showed worry.

“You still have the nerve to say that. How old were you when I met you? And back then, you were only at the Qi Condensation stage. How could you be so reckless and run off to play by yourself?” Chen Xuan pinched Zhou Jingyi’s cheek.

“I was…” Zhou Jingyi opened her mouth, but ultimately couldn't refute him.

“Oh, don’t talk about her. We are a big Family now, there’s no need for the children to go out. Our lives are good enough now, why go out? It's too dangerous!” Zhou Jingqi interjected.

“Do you want to go out?” Chen Xuan didn't respond to her, but instead asked the surrounding children.

“Yes, Father, I really want to go out! I dream of it! I really, really want to!” (Hu Hai's voice)

“Yes, Daddy, it’s super boring at home. I really don’t know how Mother and the aunties can stay here. If you hadn't come to find us this time, we might have gone to find you!”

“You silly girl, what do you know? We go out for treasures, resources, and fortuitous encounters! But as for the first two, we have more than enough at home. As for fortuitous encounters, they are nothing more than Cultivation Techniques and Legacies. Your father has brought back countless such things from outside. How do you think we manage to stay here!” Zhou Jingqi stepped forward and slapped her daughter's bottom.

“Daddy, look at Mother, she hit me! Please do something!”

“Yes, Father, please control Mother! She controls me about this and that all day long, I’m so annoyed!”

Once someone started, a large group of children instantly came to Chen Xuan to complain, telling him how difficult their lives had been all these years.

“See? You’ve seen it too.”

“Since all of you want to go out now, Father won’t stop you this time. Now, each of you come and collect two of Father’s plant seeds. Prepare yourselves, and you can go out.” Chen Xuan immediately made a decision.

“Father, what are these seeds for?” Someone asked curiously.

“They don’t do much, they just allow you to summon me. If you encounter any insoluble problems in the future, just use it to summon me.

However, I must say this beforehand: because I have given you the right to freely enter and exit the Mountain and Sea Realm, anyone among you who uses this seed will be brought home by me and will not be able to go out again, understand?”

“Understood, Father!”

“We promise not to use it! We all have personal spaces, what kind of problem could we not solve?!”

“Exactly, exactly! We would never need to use it!” The numerous children chattered again.

“The future is uncertain. Perhaps sometimes, you won't be using it for yourselves.” Chen Xuan hinted.

...

Soon, Chen Xuan settled everything for his many children aged sixteen and above, sending them one by one to Feixian Sect, and then gave them a large handful of teleportation talismans, allowing them to go wherever they wished.

Among them, he particularly instructed the boys to marry early and have offspring soon to strengthen the Family.

As for the girls, he told them to keep their eyes open and not be fooled by some useless scoundrels. At the very least, they had to first meet his, Chen Xuan's, approval!

After all this was done, Chen Xuan was surrounded by the women.

“Husband, you were so majestic just now!”

“Yes, it seems we don’t love our children, and you and the children are the closest!”

“Cough, cough, how could that be? Of course, I am very aware of your nurturing of the children. If we’re talking about who’s closest, it's definitely you!” Chen Xuan quickly said.

“Hmph, easy to say, but you still let them go out!”

“This is for the children’s future. If they always stay at home, they will get bored.”

“Anyway, you’re just biased, and you have a good relationship with the children! You probably look down on us withered flowers! Waaah!” Jin Ruoyan covered her face, trying hard to squeeze out tears.

“Alright, so you were waiting for me here! Fine, tonight, let’s have a grand slaughter!”

Chen Xuan smiled charmingly, then stepped forward, sweeping up the women, and arrived at Chu Yinyao's palace.

“Oh? How… how did we come to my place…?”

“Sister Silver Yao, what are you saying? We are all one Family, your home is my home!” Zhou Jingyi said with a smile.

...

...

On the second… sixth day, Chen Xuan finally broke free from the women and returned to the villa with Zhou Jingqi.

Zhou Jingqi, in the original work, was an absolute Woman of Luck, with an unwavering Dao Heart, indomitable, and basically would not give up her Dao Heart for anything.

She should have ultimately reached the highest peak, but now… it seems she has been led astray by him…

“What’s wrong, Husband? Why did you bring only me back?”

“Actually, it’s nothing much. I just feel that Jingqi, you are now too much interfered with by external matters, and you seem to have become… not quite like yourself.”

Zhou Jingqi smiled at his words.

“Oh? Then Husband, please tell me, how am I not like myself? Does it mean I have to revert to the little girl who was determined to Breakthrough to Soul Transformation back then to be considered myself?”

“Not exactly… It’s just that I feel your change is a bit too significant.”

“A significant change, there’s nothing I can do about it. Actually, I have been diligently Cultivating these past few days, wanting to catch up to your Cultivation, Husband, but you Breakthrough too fast. No matter how hard I try, I seem unable to stand shoulder to shoulder with you again, so I simply gave up.”

“But I…”

“Alright, Husband, I know what you want to say. But I want to say, wasn’t the purpose of my Cultivation from the beginning to be happy? Now, I have a Husband who loves and cares for me so much, I have two mischievous daughters, and inexhaustible resources… Isn’t all this enough?”

At this point, Zhou Jingqi emotionally embraced Chen Xuan.

When she was young, she was always very reserved in expressing her feelings, so many things were hard for her to say. But now… they are an old couple, what’s wrong with expressing her feelings for her Husband!

“Even my Cultivation is among the top among my peers, it's just that you, Husband, are too dazzling!”

“So, since I have already achieved the most perfect life, why should I dwell on my own changes? I haven’t stopped Cultivating, it’s just that my speed isn’t as fast as yours, Husband!”

“Jingqi…”

“I love you the most, Husband…”
