Chapter 1146: Sending the two sons to Tianwai, then reaching the Mangshan Mountain Range

Three days, then another three days, and after three days it's still three days.

Days passed quickly, and Shang Hongchen would occasionally glance toward the other side of the room, her expression utterly helpless.

"Are those three really not coming out? The two kids have been waiting impatiently; they must be getting anxious."

The two kids were already impatient to go find them, but they restrained themselves and didn't act impulsively.

Shang Hongchen muttered, "I never expected those two to actually agree—Qi Ruohua and Shang Hongxue are really open-minded this time; my husband is having a blast."

My husband's long-held wish has been fulfilled; this time he'll likely stay happy for a while, after all, embracing left and right is his dream—something he couldn't achieve on his own—so he changed his mind and let Qi Ruohua and Shang Hongxue be together.

He gave them no chance to object or refuse, acting directly and forcefully.

Women, at first they'll refuse and make excuses, but when that moment comes, they can't help themselves; they'll quickly get drawn in, even turning from passive to active, wanting to take charge.

That scene, Shang Hongchen could neither imagine nor fantasize about.

All she could do was wait for them to come out, then ask Shang Hongxue how she felt; deep inside, Shang Hongchen felt a string stir.

The plucked string was no longer as taut as before; it had loosened a bit.

Finally, after waiting another day, Chen Chuyang emerged—he was the first to come out, refreshed and energized, stretching lazily; his mood was clearly good, having fulfilled a long-held dream, and he was genuinely happy.

As soon as he came out, he looked toward Shang Hongchen's side; he knew she had been looking this way, guessing this lady also wanted to experience it. Their eyes met, and Shang Hongchen immediately lowered her head, pretending to be busy.

"This lady is actually blushing, tsk tsk."

Chen Chuyang didn't go straight to Shang Hongchen; instead, he fixed his gaze on his two sons, who had waited many days and were already impatient. As soon as they saw Chen Chuyang emerge, they immediately appeared before him.

"Father."

"Father."

Both shouted "Father" at the same time, and Chen Qinglian urged, "Father, this time you should take us to Tianwai, right?"

These days they've been fantasizing about Tianwai—what is it like? Is there danger? What might they encounter?

These days they've prepared many things: elixirs, spirit stones, various weapons, and their own divine abilities, all tempered thoroughly, making full preparations before heading to Tianwai.

After all, Tianwai is not this world; if something happens here they can ask their father for help, but once in Tianwai no one can assist them—they must rely on themselves. They must be fully prepared, for any oversight could cause a major accident, even death.

They certainly don't want to die in Tianwai, and their ambitions are not small.

Qi Haoyang anxiously asked, "Father, we're ready; all we need is you."

Both are fully prepared; they just lack a guide.

Chen Chuyang looked at his two sons, noting their cultivation had risen again, and nodded approvingly: "Not bad; it seems you haven't slacked these past days. In Tianwai you must keep this attitude and not let your guard down."

"I'll take you to Tianwai tomorrow; today, go back and make final preparations. Early tomorrow, I, as your father, will bring you to Tianwai."

"Yes, Father." The two sons were overjoyed; hearing Chen Chuyang's words showed their father wasn't deceiving or misleading them.

He truly intended to take them away—how could they not be excited?

The two left willingly; after they departed, Shang Hongxue and Qi Ruohua finally appeared fully dressed. Qi Ruohua gave Chen Chuyang a sideways glance and snorted coldly: "Husband, Haoyang is entrusted to you—you must look after him well. If anything happens to Haoyang, I will surely cause trouble for you."

It's obvious that these days she's enjoyed herself, yet she also harbors great resentment—she had prepared nothing and hadn't consented, yet her husband forced himself on her, leaving her thoroughly embarrassed.

Worse still, Shang Hongxue even has to help her husband bully herself.

Afterward, it became a plot of the two women scheming against each other, while Chen Chuyang reaped the benefits—truly a happy situation.

Living an emperor's life, Qi Ruohua is truly speechless about it.

Her inner tsundere nature makes her unable to bear it; unfortunately, these days she has been assimilated.

She certainly won't give Chen Chuyang a good face, and on the surface she also has to pretend.

Chen Chuyang inwardly wants to laugh; this lady is truly tsundere—even now she still has to put on an act.

"Lady, rest assured, Haoyang will be fine." Chen Chuyang reached out and took Qi Ruohua's hand, not giving her a chance to refuse.

Qi Ruohua couldn't break free, so she reluctantly agreed, giving Chen Chuyang a sideways glance.

Shang Hongxue covered her mouth and smiled; she truly doted on her younger sister Qi Ruohua. Even the tsundere Qi Ruohua has her day—thinking of her sister's miserable recent life made her want to laugh.

The her in bed and the her now are completely different, a huge contrast.

"Nearby, your younger sister Qi Ruohua still wants to be with you; afterward you should visit her more often."

Shang Hongxue kept digging traps, unwilling to let Qi Ruohua off so easily.

Qi Ruohua gave Shang Hongxue a sideways glance, curled her lip, and said: "Older sister Hongxue, you're really a schemer—we're sisters after all. If you want to scheme, scheme against your own sister; Shang Hongchen is always offending you, aren't you? Don't you want to see another side of her?"

Shang Hongxue nodded: "Of course I do, but sadly my older sister won't agree."

She has always wanted to scheme against Shang Hongchen, but Shang Hongchen never falls for it.

Every time she leaves early, ruining the plan.

"Husband, next time just be domineering—take Shang Hongchen away directly, no need to ask her consent." Shang Hongxue gritted her teeth: "With me by your side, there won't be any problems."

Chen Chuyang shrugged: "As long as you, my lady, arrange things well, I will follow your orders."

One wish fulfilled; there's still another person—Shang Hongchen and Shang Hongxue—he naturally wants to give it a try?

Men, wanting more and more—that's normal.

"Husband, look at me." Shang Hongxue decided: she couldn't let Shang Hongchen see her joke; she too must have a turn, so nobody would mock each other.

We share blessings and hardships alike—how could we abandon our own sister?

Poor Shang Hongchen still doesn't realize she's being schemed against; she's looking this way but hears nothing.

She knows she's been blocked out.

The next morning.

Chen Chuyang hadn't risen yet when his two sons came first to call him; helpless, Chen Chuyang got up, looked at his two sons ready to go, and pressed his hands down: "Have you two decided? Once you go to Tianwai there's no turning back; if you regret it later, it'll be useless."

Chen Qinglian: "Father, I'm ready."

Qi Haoyang: "Father, I won't regret it."

"Alright, then follow me. Remember, don't panic no matter what you encounter." Chen Chuyang led the way.

The two sons followed behind, holding their breath the whole way.
