Chapter 1160: The Little Carp Awakens, Ascends Again

Shang Hongxue leaned against Chen Chuyang's chest and said, "Brother Chuyang, go ahead and do it; whatever you do, I will support you unconditionally."

"As long as you've decided, go ahead and do it; I am behind you."

Shang Hongxue, wherever and whenever, will stand behind Chen Chuyang and silently support Chen Chuyang.

Chen Chuyang was deeply moved, embraced Shang Hongxue, and kissed her face passionately; this woman is truly a rare treasure, having such a wife, what more could a husband ask for.

"Hongxue, being able to take you as my wife is my good fortune."

Shang Hongxue smiled warmly: "Brother Chuyang, I feel the same; becoming your wife is the best decision of my life."

The couple whispered to each other, sharing their innermost thoughts, unconditionally supporting one another; whatever the other does, they will stand behind the other—Chen Chuyang does so, and Shang Hongxue does likewise.

Both have each other in their hearts and live for one another.

After cuddling, Chen Chuyang let go of the girl Shang Hongxue, then went to accompany Shang Hongchen, sharing his attention equally and not favoring one over the other.

Shang Hongchen had waited for a long time; when she saw Chen Chuyang arrive, she naturally expressed a bit of shyness, pretended to be coy, repeatedly resisted Chen Chuyang, but in the end became very forward, after handing her daughter to Liu Yuer, she completely let herself go and became Chen Chuyang's devoted wife.

Compared with Shang Hongxue, she is even more proactive, even crazier, even taking the lead over Chen Chuyang, becoming the woman who makes the decisions, no longer the shy, tsundere type she used to be.

This tsundere woman has only Chen Chuyang in her heart and eyes, no one else.

Three days later, Shang Hongchen, like Shang Hongxue, was reluctant to leave Chen Chuyang; with Chen Chuyang on her mind, she lay beside him and murmured, "Husband, this time you have been gone so long—are you planning something big?"

"Has the Wild Dragon Snake successfully condensed its elixir, and will it, like Heishanyang, become the guardian beast of Longshe Shan?"

She had long noticed the existence of the Wild Dragon Snake but had never asked about it.

Chen Chuyang held her gently and said, "Indeed, the Wild Dragon Snake is taking Black Goat's place; its bloodline is not weak—its mutated bloodline is not inferior to a True Dragon's. Given time, its strength will surpass yours."

"It hasn't reached adulthood yet; once it matures, its strength should be quite impressive."

Shang Hongchen nodded, without any doubt: "I can feel the oppressive aura on it; that Dragon Might is frightening."

"However, the Wild Dragon Snake's strength is far behind that of Heishanyang."

Heishanyang's power is indeed great; as the Protector of Longshe Shan, Heishanyang far surpasses the Wild Dragon Snake.

"That's only natural. How many years old is the Wild Dragon Snake? Even if you count generously, it's not very old—just born not long ago. In the future, you should simply not disturb it, and have Qingmeng also keep an eye on it."

"I understand, husband." Shang Hongchen nodded; she naturally knows the danger of the Wild Dragon Snake, and it's best for the daughter to have little contact with it.

But there is no safety issue at all; not a single problem.

Then Chen Chuyang brought up Shang Hongxue's matter; when he mentioned that she wanted to bear another child, Shang Hongchen blinked and stared at Chen Chuyang.

"You mean Hongxue wants to have a second child?" Shang Hongchen asked, blinking.

"Yes, she's too lonely. After Qinglian left, she's very lonely; I'm afraid she'll start fantasizing, so…"

Chen Chuyang blinked at Shang Hongchen, who immediately understood his meaning and gave him a cold look.

"Husband, don't act rashly; I have no plans for a second child at the moment. If you wish, you could have a child with Hongxue, or even with Ruhua."

"If that truly doesn't work, you could have a child with Zhuge Ruolan."

Chen Chuyang has many women, but he is not in a hurry; a single Chen Qingmeng is enough to trouble him. Although many people help raise the child, it is still exhausting. Mother Long Ming is not on the mountain, and the daughter has grown up, making her even harder to care for.

The daughter's education, cultivation, and other matters all require someone to watch over them.

As for her, she truly lacks the energy to look after her; it was easier when the daughter was young. As the daughter grows, she increasingly opposes her. Compared with Qinglian, daughter Qingmeng is just… torturous.

"Haha, what are you afraid of?" Chen Chuyang teased, "Neither of us has taken any measures, so I naturally cannot treat you differently; perhaps your luck will turn, and another will come."

Shang Hongchen sprang up immediately, completely unsettled.

"Husband, you leave; I need to take a bath." Shang Hongchen hurriedly urged Chen Chuyang to depart, not wanting him to stay.

She was frightened—truly frightened.

First raise the daughter, then deal with other matters later.

Chen Chuyang was driven out; he felt helpless, looking at the frightened Shang Hongchen before him. She hadn't been like this before; it was clear she was truly scared.

"Qingmeng is so obedient; why are you so scared?"

The daughter is very obedient; Chen Chuyang loves his daughter. When he takes her, she is extremely well‑behaved and sensible, not at all as difficult as Shang Hongchen claimed.

Of course, if Shang Hongchen prefers to control and wants the daughter to act according to her own ideas, it's no wonder.

"Ah, you don't know—right now the daughter is opposing me; whatever I say, she disagrees, doing the opposite. You can't imagine how distressed I am; each time she drives me to death."

"How many times a year do you see the daughter? It's always me who takes care of her, everything is left to me to teach personally; it's exhausting."

Shang Hongchen complained about Chen Chuyang, saying that being a hands‑off manager who does nothing is naturally easy.

Meanwhile, she has to handle everything herself.

"Ah ha ha." Chen Chuyang gave an awkward laugh: "If you cannot educate her, you can entrust her to Hongxue, or to her mother; if that still fails, send her back to the Chen Clan for a while so she can receive proper Chen Clan education."

Within the Chen Clan there is a dedicated school responsible for education.

There are places for cultivation, and places for learning.

There are dedicated staff; any child who goes to those places will… be suppressed.

"We'll discuss it later; I still hope the daughter stays by my side." Shang Hongchen was reluctant to let the daughter leave her; she truly couldn't bear it.

Chen Chuyang was also helpless; he had little to say, and Hongchen would not do that, also reluctant.

After parting, Chen Chuyang felt very helpless and went to the Yu Tang, staring at the little carp in the pond.

Inside, a white jade carp lay there, its light flickering with the flowing glimmer.

Phosphorescent light flickered, and the white jade carp's silhouette expanded a circle, stirring the surrounding spiritual qi.

The gathered qi above formed a pillar of light.

The little carp was also about to complete its metamorphosis, and it was at the crucial moment.

"Tsk tsk, the little carp is about to metamorphose as well."
