351: If they don't get along well in the future, will she be killed secretly?

“That’s right…”

“Your son has a group of confidantes, at least… twenty?”

Seeing Mu Nianyun stare at him with wide eyes, Xiao Zhan replied with a somewhat strange expression.

He wasn't exactly sure how many there were.

After all, among that group of women, it seemed there were a few who hadn't been completely won over by Xiao Chen yet.

So Xiao Zhan couldn't be certain.

But the ones he had met, and those he knew about, totaled twenty-five.

Yes, the Medusa Queen and her sister, the eight high-ranking members of Wanhua Sect, plus one Elder and two female disciples.

A pair of sisters from the Qingqiu Fox Clan, and a pair of aunt and niece from the Purple Cloud Merchant Guild.

There were two older female cousins and a little maid from the Xiao Family, as well as the only daughter of the Murong Family from Tiandu City.

Adding Liu Ruoxian, Luo Youlian, Liang Bing, and Huo Lingji from the Dongyuan Huo Family.

If he remembered correctly, that was a total of twenty-five.

“Tw-… over twenty?!”

Upon hearing Xiao Zhan's words, Mu Nianyun gasped with wide eyes, almost thinking she had misheard.

With so many confidantes, could her son handle it all?!

He wouldn't end up…

Having his body completely drained, would he?!

Xiao Chen, who was listening to their conversation and saw Mu Nianyun's stunned expression from the side.

Even with his thick skin, he felt a bit awkward at this moment.

“Chen’er, with so many confidantes, will it be difficult to manage?”

After suppressing the shock in her heart, Mu Nianyun hesitated for a moment before finally asking.

Of course.

She wasn't trying to pry into Xiao Chen's private life, but was worried if something would happen to Xiao Chen.

“You can rest assured on that point.”

“Chen’er’s cultivation has reached the Ru Sheng Realm, and he has also cultivated some kind of bedroom technique. Let alone over twenty confidantes, even if it were… were…”

After Mu Nianyun finished speaking, when Xiao Chen didn't know how to respond, Xiao Zhan on the side immediately laughed and helped him out.

He just hadn't finished speaking yet.

Then he saw Mu Nianyun look over with a deep gaze, which made him feel a bit creeped out for a moment.

“Madam, please don’t misunderstand.”

“These are all special inheritances Chen’er obtained. I don’t have the ability to teach him these things…”

Seeing Mu Nianyun like this, Xiao Zhan immediately knew she was overthinking things. He immediately moved closer and hugged her.

“Even though you weren’t here all these years, I never touched other women.”

“My heart…”

“Has only ever held you, from beginning to end.”

These words.

Made Mu Nianyun embarrassed.

She had passed away earlier.

No one knew she could be resurrected, so on her deathbed, she had hoped Xiao Zhan would find someone else.

She hadn't expected Xiao Zhan to be so devoted, which moved her, while also making her feel a bit pained and guilty.

This rascal…

She'd compensate him well tonight.

But for now, she still needed to understand what her son had gone through during this time.

He actually had over twenty confidantes?!

“Chen’er, tell your mother, during this time… what have you experienced?”

As the thought crossed her mind.

Mu Nianyun sat on the large green stone next to Xiao Chen and began to learn about Xiao Chen's experiences during this period.

Xiao Zhan stood by with a smile, occasionally interjecting to supplement and explain a few things.

Inside the graveyard.

The family of three was enjoying themselves, which seemed somewhat out of place in this graveyard.

…………

On the other side, within the inner courtyard of the Xiao Family.

A large group of beautiful women were gathered in a courtyard, each with a very serious expression, seemingly discussing something important.

“Meier, are you sure Gongzi’s mother’s personality is truly gentle and virtuous, similar to Ruoxian Duanmu Xueying?!”

After recounting what happened on the back mountain, leaving Xiao Meier and the others quite shaken.

Cai Yan asked in a low voice.

That solemn expression was like discussing a matter of life and death for the Snake-People Clan.

Even Cai Die, her usually lively younger sister, was sitting upright at this moment, waiting for Xiao Meier and the others to speak.

After all.

This was Xiao Chen’s mother.

An important figure she had never met, yet whose status could suppress theirs.

If her personality wasn't good, or if she was a devoted person who opposed her son's philandering and promiscuity.

Then there would be trouble ahead.

“Yun Auntie was quite good to both of us when we were young.”

“It’s just…”

“Yun Auntie was very strict with Uncle Xiao Zhan. Once he got too close to other women, she would get sulky.”

“So we’re not sure if she’ll oppose Xiao Chen having a large group of confidantes at the same time.”

Hearing Cai Yan’s words, Xiao Meier said uncertainly.

These words.

Caused Cai Yan and the others to frown, each of them pondering how… they should get along with Mu Nianyun next.

…………

“What?”

“Several of Chen’er’s confidantes are Supreme experts, and two are even Emperor Lords?!”

After hearing Xiao Chen roughly finish recounting his experiences during this time, and learning about the complete cultivation system of the Canglan World, Mu Nianyun heard the few sentences Xiao Zhan added.

She was completely stunned on the spot.

What about the Medusa twin sisters, what about the beautiful aunt and niece from the Purple Cloud Merchant Guild, and the Fox Maidens with fox tails.

It was one thing for their relationships to be a bit messy, but she hadn't expected many of them to not be of the Human Race.

After finally accepting these two points, Xiao Zhan added another explanation.

Among Xiao Chen's many confidantes, there were even Emperor Realm Experts!

The most outrageous thing was that there was more than one?!

This made Mu Nianyun a little flustered.

Such terrifying existences could annihilate her with a sneeze, and the kind that happens without anyone knowing.

If they didn't get along well in the future, would she be secretly killed?

After all, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law relationships are difficult to handle in this world, and some even come to blows.

“Chen’er, what… what are the personalities of your confidantes like? Are they obedient?”

Feeling nervous and worried internally, Mu Nianyun asked somewhat anxiously.

Her memory.

Was still stuck on how to raise Xiao Chen and educate him well. She hadn't expected that with one blink of an eye, she would have to deal with mother-in-law and daughter-in-law relationships?

This made her feel at a loss.

“Mother, you don’t need to worry. They are all very obedient and won’t fight among themselves.”

“Just relax…”

Seeing Mu Nianyun’s nervous expression, Xiao Chen smiled lightly and comforted her.

“Haha, Chen’er’s confidantes are indeed very filial and sensible. Each of them is a rare beauty, so Madam doesn’t need to be too nervous.”

After Xiao Chen finished speaking, Xiao Zhan also smiled and comforted her.

“You rascal, you seem very envious?”

Hearing Xiao Zhan’s words, which seemed a bit emotional, Mu Nianyun raised her head and said in a somewhat dangerous tone.

This made Xiao Zhan's expression stiffen.

“Madam is joking.”

“I am not envious of such things at all, because my heart, apart from you, can no longer hold anyone else.”

Seeing Mu Nianyun was a little jealous.

She was clearly worried that he, this old father, would be influenced by his son.

And would also not be content with loneliness in the future, and would find a group of confidantes.

He immediately vowed solemnly.

“Smooth-talking, just like back then. I’ll believe you for now.”

Mu Nianyun’s face beamed with joy upon hearing this.

This made Xiao Chen feel a little fortunate, luckily not many of his many confidantes were jealous.

Otherwise, he would have to be busy coaxing his wife from time to time, just like this old father.

“Chen’er, take mother to see them…”

As the thought crossed Xiao Chen’s mind, Mu Nianyun took a deep breath and said.

Xiao Chen nodded upon hearing this, not rejecting the suggestion.

The group then got up and walked out of the Xiao Family’s back mountain.
