50: Chapter 5 Uneasy Conscience

Ye Xishui moved with graceful steps, slowly drawing closer.

Her figure was slender and elegant, her temperament as cold and clear as moonlight; even the surrounding light seemed to soften a bit.

Seeing this, Chen Zilong was completely bewildered. With a slight arch of his brow, he asked:

"Shuier, why do you want me to buy these two women?"

A faint, ambiguous smile played on Ye Xishui's lips, but her clear eyes remained calm. Her tone was as flat as if she were talking about today's weather:

"It's perfectly normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines. What's there to be surprised about?"

"Isn't Xiao Li also your concubine? As a chambermaid, she married into your household along with me."

"Besides, these two female disciples both have superior looks and have even mastered the Bedroom Arts. You might as well just buy them."

"In the future, when I'm in secluded cultivation and Xiao Li is busy, let these two women serve you."

Li Chenger and Ding Shuyao, standing to the side, both had delicate and pretty features.

There was a hint of lingering childishness between their brows, yet it couldn't hide their otherworldly beauty.

At this moment, their eyes shimmered as they looked at Chen Zilong with a hint of timid expectation.

Hearing Ye Xishui's "shocking" remarks, Chen Zilong's face was filled with the same confusion as the old man on the subway looking at his phone.

He muttered to himself:

Something feels wrong here!

Ye Xishui, a wealthy young lady, is actively asking him to buy concubines?!

In the original plot, she had to do a lot of mental preparation for a long time before she could barely accept Ye Wushuang having women on both sides.

How come this Daughter of Heaven, after following a villain like him, started egging him on to take concubines right from the start?!

This...

Does this plot even make sense?!

Just as Chen Zilong's mind was racing, trying to understand this ridiculous turn of events, Tu Shan Xiaoxiao's dainty figure also appeared behind him.

Her skin was as white as snow, her features like a painting, carrying a hint of ethereal spirit that seemed untouched by the mortal world:

"Senior Brother, you should just buy these two female disciples."

Hearing this, Chen Zilong suddenly turned his head!

He looked at Tu Shan Xiaoxiao behind him in disbelief, his gaze as if he were looking at a stranger:

Is this still the little junior sister who constantly says "Senior Brother, Senior Brother" all day long?

She's actually egging him on to take concubines too!

This...

Is this the legendary "Green Tea Junior Sister" persona?

Why has it collapsed so much that even her own mother wouldn't recognize it!

Chen Zilong turned his gaze back to Li Chenger and Ding Shuyao, his brow furrowed slightly, his eyes full of scrutiny.

He was absolutely certain that in the original plot, the names Li Chenger and Ding Shuyao didn't exist at all!

As a die-hard fan who had read "Peerless Sovereign" several times, he could say that these two female disciples didn't even qualify as background NPCs.

But why?

Both Ye Xishui and Tu Shan Xiaoxiao wanted him to buy these two female disciples.

Two Daughters of Heaven are asking me, a villain, to buy two NPCs who don't even have names in the book as concubines?!

At this moment, Chen Zilong was truly at a loss, completely baffled.

"Whatever! I'll just buy them!"

Chen Zilong gritted his teeth and comforted himself, "I'm a villain in the book; buying two beautiful female cultivators as concubines is perfectly reasonable. There's nothing wrong with it at all!"

"Fine, here you go."

Chen Zilong said to Li Chenger, handing over a storage ring, "One thousand Low-Grade Spirit Stone."

Li Chenger took the storage ring Chen Zilong handed her, and a smile of relief blossomed on her and Ding Shuyao's pretty faces.

Li Chenger's voice was crisp as she gave Chen Zilong a respectful bow:

"From now on, Senior Brother, you are the master of us two sisters."

"No need to call me master, just call me Gongzi," Chen Zilong waved his hand and said.

"Yes, Gongzi." Li Chenger and Ding Shuyao bowed gracefully to Chen Zilong at the same time, their voices pleasant to the ear.

Ding Shuyao looked up, quietly sizing up Chen Zilong.

Seeing that he was not only tall and sturdy but also exceptionally handsome, she was very satisfied in her heart.

A hint of imperceptible shyness flashed through her cold eyes.

At this time, Li Chenger took out a bag of something resembling nuts from her Storage Pouch and handed it to Chen Zilong, saying:

"Gongzi, this is for you."

"This servant doesn't know what kind of treasures these are, but I feel they must be extraordinary."

Chen Zilong took the bag and gave it a casual glance.

In the next second, his expression changed instantly, and his voice even carried a tremor:

"Mu... muluo seed!"

He was so excited that his hands began to shake!

"Gongzi, this thing is called a muluo seed?"

Ding Shuyao blinked, her cold eyes filled with confusion. "What does it do?"

"Sister Chenger and I tried burning it with fire, soaking it in water, and even hacking it with a knife, but it didn't react at all. It's hard as a rock."

Chen Zilong looked at the cold and elegant woman before him in astonishment.

The four words "a waste of God's gifts" flashed through his mind instantly; he almost wanted to give her an award!

Burning it with fire!

Soaking it in water!

And even hacking it with a knife!

How did they even come up with that!

These are sacred objects!

Not to mention being rare in this realm, even in the Immortal Realm, they are highly sought-after treasures!

Even an Immortal Emperor would probably drool at the sight of this!

muluo seed, also known as the Bodhi seed.

Once refined, it can greatly enhance one's Comprehension Ability and assist in understanding the Dao.

For a cultivator, this is simply a supreme sacred object that one can only hope for but never seek out!

Chen Zilong swept his divine sense over it; there were actually a full one hundred and eight muluo seeds in the bag!

Heavens!

A single muluo seed can double one's Comprehension Ability!

A full one hundred and eight...

Did these two NPCs, who don't even have names in the book, save the galaxy in their past lives?!

To actually obtain such a heaven-defying opportunity!

"Wait, that's not right..."

Chen Zilong suddenly thought of something. "According to the plot in the book, the muluo seeds were clearly obtained by that fellow Ye Wushuang!"

"The book records that the process of Ye Wushuang obtaining the muluo seeds was quite simple. It seems he traded for them from two women whose names weren't even mentioned..."

Chen Zilong: "???"

"It's you two!!!!!!" Chen Zilong roared inwardly!

He almost performed a split on the spot!

Not far away, a hint of imperceptible joy flashed through the eyes of both Ye Xishui and Tu Shan Xiaoxiao.

The corners of Ye Xishui's lips curled slightly as she thought to herself:

As expected, it's these two women.

In the memory fragments of the future, it was indeed from two nameless female cultivators that Ye Wushuang traded for this supreme sacred object.

I remember Ye Wushuang only used five thousand Low-Grade Spirit Stone to get such a huge bargain back then.

At that time, these two women wanted to try their luck at the Disciple Recruitment Ceremony, but no one was interested in them.

So they planned to sell some inconspicuous items on them to exchange for cultivation resources, including these one hundred and eight muluo seeds.

Since I know of this great future opportunity, I naturally cannot let that fellow Ye Wushuang get it. Only my Zilong is worthy of possessing all this.

Tu Shan Xiaoxiao also quietly breathed a sigh of relief, a pure smile appearing on her pretty face as she thought:

Finally, my Senior Brother has obtained the great opportunity of the muluo seeds!

All good things should belong to Senior Brother. Whoever dares to snatch them from him, I will...

Hmph!

Since that woman Ye Xishui also agreed to Senior Brother taking concubines this time, thereby helping him get this opportunity, I won't hold it against her for now.

But next time, if she dares to do anything to harm Senior Brother again, I will definitely make her pay the price!

Thinking of this, an imperceptible strange look flashed through Tu Shan Xiaoxiao's eyes, but she quickly returned to her usual innocence.

Only deep in her eyes, there seemed to be a hint of indescribable complexity.

Looking at these two new concubines who had brought him such a huge surprise, Chen Zilong immediately placed the muluo seeds into his Storage Pouch with great care, fearing they might get bumped or damaged.

He gave the two women a smile that could be described as kind:

"Well then, since you two are also my concubines now, I have some pills here. Take as many as you want."

"We can't, Gongzi,"

Ding Shuyao quickly waved her hand, her tone cold yet firm. "These pills are for you to sell; we cannot take them."

Li Chenger also nodded repeatedly from the side, expressing her agreement.

"I told you to take them, so take them! Why all the nonsense!" Chen Zilong was a bit agitated.

This was a sacred object delivered to his doorstep; if he didn't give them more benefits, his conscience would be uneasy.

Li Chenger and Ding Shuyao looked at each other, both seeing surprise and a hint of hesitation in each other's eyes.

This Gongzi they were to serve was actually this generous?

This happiness came too suddenly!

So, after hesitating for a moment, they each chose a bottle of Qi Condensing Pills.

For cultivators in the Qi Refining Realm like them, these were already excellent auxiliary pills.

"One bottle isn't enough! Take them all! They're all yours!" Chen Zilong waved his hand and said with great magnanimity.

Li Chenger and Ding Shuyao were both stunned, as if three large question marks were floating above their heads:

"Huh???"

Chen Zilong was somewhat speechless seeing their cautious behavior.

He ranted inwardly:

"You've given me such a huge opportunity; if you don't take all these pills, my conscience will be uneasy! It's really driving me crazy!"
