106: The Nine Weird Elders of the Cao Family
That day.
Cao Nie arrived at the Imperial Study of Great Xia.
He skillfully found a seat and sat down.
"Summer Glaze, I'm going to the Nine Luminaries Divine Dynasty. Do you want to come along?"
Summer Glaze was still clad in a fiery red dragon robe.
A hint of maternal radiance had appeared on her exquisite face.
Though her flat abdomen wasn't yet obvious, a small life was indeed gestating there.
As a super expert in her previous life, Summer Glaze naturally knew that it was extremely difficult for an expert to become pregnant. Yet, with Cao Nie, it seemed there were no such restrictions.
It was almost a hundred percent success rate.
She had people investigate Cao Nie's other women.
Without exception, all of them conceived on the first try.
Summer Glaze raised her eyes and glanced at Cao Nie, a half-smile playing on her lips: "Speak directly."
She didn't believe Cao Nie was simply inviting her to leave with him.
Cao Nie chuckled softly, then rose and approached her: "The Head of the Clan has endured for a month. Before leaving, I naturally need to clear out my stock with you."
Summer Glaze's eyes slightly tilted: "It seems the last lesson wasn't profound enough?"
Cao Nie seized Summer Glaze's slender waist, turned, and settled firmly on the dragon chair, holding her securely in his embrace.
"Lesson?" He chuckled, lightly nuzzling her neck with his nose: "Last time, it was merely Ning Bing clearing out my inventory for me. This time, you're destined to lose."
Summer Glaze's long, slender jade fingers suddenly gripped his jaw, her empress's majesty fully displayed: "Believe it or not, if I truly wanted to drain you dry, it would be but a flick of a finger."
A dark glint flickered in Cao Nie's eyes, and his Adam's apple bobbed slightly: "Then the Head of the Clan... must experience it personally."
With that, he was about to take the initiative.
"Wait." Summer Glaze suddenly pressed against his chest, her red lips curving into a dangerous arc: "I want to be on top."
Cao Nie was momentarily stunned, then chuckled, his arms tightening abruptly: "What a coincidence, the Head of the Clan insists on being on top."
"You dare defy a sacred decree?" Summer Glaze's phoenix eyes gleamed with killing intent, and a fierce pressure suddenly erupted from her body.
Asking Dao Realm fifth layer!
Breaking through four layers in two months!
Truly worthy of a super expert reincarnated!
This cultivation speed is simply unparalleled.
"Bang!"
The air instantly solidified.
"Summer Glaze, remember your identity. You will always be my woman."
A cold light flashed in Summer Glaze's eyes.
Her jade palm sliced through space, creating a sonic boom.
"Bang!"
"Cao Nie, you also remember this: you are merely my male consort."
Cao Nie licked the blood from the corner of his mouth, and a monstrous battle intent ignited in his eyes: "Interesting. Then let's speak with strength."
The aura of Asking Dao Realm ninth layer suddenly erupted, having just broken through a few days prior.
"Exactly to my liking!"
In an instant, the earth veins trembled, and the entire palace shook violently amidst the raging energy.
Once the dust settled, Cao Nie held Summer Glaze's wrist with one hand, pressing her entire body onto the desk.
"It seems that a great power reincarnated is nothing more than this."
Summer Glaze turned her head, a hint of madness in her eyes through her disheveled hair.
"Cao Nie, you think you've won."
Cao Nie remained silent.
He immediately suppressed her.
Nine days and nine nights later.
Cao Nie, pale-faced and trembling in his legs, left the Imperial Study.
Behind him, Summer Glaze's overly triumphant laughter could be heard.
Hearing that sound, Cao Nie was furious.
"System, that Life Gate True Fire isn't fake, is it?"
"Host, please don't blame the system for everything. Consider your own reasons more. Did you not exert yourself?"
"I didn't exert myself? Didn't you see how happily that woman Summer Glaze cried out!"
"This system is referring to cultivation. Summer Glaze is a super expert reincarnated. Although her strength is less than one-billionth of her peak, it is not something any mortal can withstand."
"If it were any other mortal, they would explode and die in less than a second. For you to last nine days and nine nights, and even get her pregnant with your child, is already very impressive."
Hearing this, Cao Nie felt comforted.
When dealing with other women, he only stopped when they begged for mercy.
Only Summer Glaze, this woman was naturally extraordinary.
Every time, she made him rest for several days to recover.
As soon as Cao Nie stepped into the Cao Clan's gate, he was startled by two auras.
He frowned and followed the auras to a courtyard.
Inside the courtyard, the Nine Great Elders were gathered, and the atmosphere was solemn.
"Who allowed such wanton release of pressure within the clan?" Cao Nie entered the courtyard with a cold face, his red robes fluttering without wind.
"Greetings, Head of the Clan!"
Ten figures simultaneously bowed in salute.
Only then did Cao Nie notice that besides the nine elders, there was also a petite young woman standing there.
It was precisely the loli dancer from Heaven Sword Manor.
"What exactly is going on?" Cao Nie fixed his gaze on Third Elder Cao Feng and Fourth Elder Cao Gu.
The two stammered, not daring to meet Cao Nie's eyes.
Cao An, not one to shy away from trouble, stepped forward a few paces.
"Reporting to the Head of the Clan..."
"Second Elder!" Cao Feng and the other simultaneously interrupted Cao An.
Cao An remained unfazed, instead raising his voice: "The situation is this: these two beasts got Miss Xiaowu pregnant. Now they can't tell whose child it is, and they're about to decide with their fists who gets to be the father."
Cao Nie didn't react for a moment.
What did he mean, whoever won became the father?
Wouldn't checking the bloodline reveal whose child it was?
Cao An leaned in, winking and saying: "Head of the Clan, have you forgotten about the Li Sao Courtyard? These two old perverts actually... with Miss Xiaowu... and now, when they check the bloodline, the child is related to both of them!"
He paused, then added: "The most incredible part is that these two are also full brothers from the same mother. When they were very young, they often..."
Cao An made a disgusted expression, waving his hand: "Forget it, forget it. Anyway, their relationship is very messed up!"
Cao Nie finally understood.
The expression on his face grew more and more intriguing as he listened.
Wait!
First Elder is a stud!
Second Elder likes men!
Third Elder and Fourth Elder like to be together!
Ninth Elder prefers older women!
As for the Fifth, Sixth, Seventh, and Eighth Elders...
Cao Nie narrowed his eyes suspiciously, his gaze sweeping back and forth among the elders: "Fifth, Sixth, Seventh, Eighth Elders, you guys, you don't have such quirks, do you?"
The elders immediately straightened their backs and patted their chests, assuring him: "Head of the Clan, please be clear! Among the nine of us, only those five are abnormal!"
"Really?" Cao Nie looked unconvinced.
The four said in unison: "Absolutely true!"
"No 'cut sleeve'habit?"
The four shook their heads like rattles: "Absolutely not!"
"No group activities?"
"We detest it!"
The four spoke righteously, almost swearing to the heavens.
Cao Nie nodded, reluctantly believing them. It would be strange if all nine of them were oddballs.
At this moment.
Cao An raised his hand and shouted: "Head of the Clan, I want to report that they are all lying to you, especially Eighth Elder, he... hmm..."
Eighth Elder Cao Feng immediately clapped a hand over Cao An's mouth.
At his signal, Elders Cao Wei, Cao Wu, and Cao Yi stepped forward together and escorted Cao An away.
"Head of the Clan, we have matters to attend to, so we'll be leaving first." Cao Feng offered a forced smile, his peripheral vision catching Cao Jian standing motionless.
He stepped forward and grabbed Cao Jian's arm: "Boss, come here for a moment. I have something to discuss with you."
Cao Jian's corpulent body was slowly dragged out by Cao Feng.
In a moment, only Cao Feng, Cao Gu, and the loli dancer Xiaowu remained in the courtyard.
Xiaowu lowered her head, fiddling with the hem of her clothes, her slightly bulging abdomen barely visible beneath her skirt.
She suddenly looked up, her large, watery eyes gazing at Cao Nie: "Head of the Clan, please be my judge."
Cao Nie's gaze swept back and forth between Cao Feng and Cao Gu.
He had never expected that these two would actually...
"You two..."
"Head of the Clan, please speak." The two immediately straightened up and stood at attention.
Cao Nie rubbed his temples, a look of helplessness on his face: "Never mind, never mind. After the child is born, you two can have another one, and then each of you can raise one."
With that, Cao Nie turned and left.
The two Elders: "As you command, Head of the Clan."
Xiaowu: "???"
