Chapter 1292: Even the Mortal World Has One

One hour later.

The interior of the space fell silent.

Tianhu'er lay on the ground, a face of despair; her eyes glared resentfully at Hu Jiuwei, as if she could swallow her whole.

Hu Jiuwei ignored her gaze; if she were in her place, she would act the same.

"Tianhu'er, your life and death are now in my hands; why won't you call me sister?"

Hu Jiuwei was smug, having seized Tianhu'er's soul and her life and death; from now on she could not oppose her, nor could she stand over her head and defecate, even if her cultivation surpassed hers… Well, if Tianhu'er's cultivation later recovered, she might break free of the control, perhaps even turn it against Hu Jiuwei.

Hu Jiuwei didn't care; she was confident that her cultivation would surely improve faster than Tianhu'er's, that she would become stronger more quickly. Since Tianhu'er's soul was under her control, raising her cultivation would not be easy.

She learned this Soul Control technique from Chen Chuyang and applied it to Tianhu'er; the feeling of manipulating life and death was truly wonderful, just like her husband Chen Chuyang, who had once taken that step and controlled their lives and deaths.

Now it was her turn, and the feeling was truly wonderful.

"Hmph," Tianhu'er snorted coldly, still refusing to speak.

She turned her head away from Hu Jiuwei, staring at Chen Chuyang; that look was frightening yet held a hint of grievance.

"Chen Chuyang, I am also your woman; how can you treat me like this?"

Chen Chuyang slowly turned, looking at Tianhu'er in surprise; he hadn't expected Hu Jiuwei to act so, but this was also fine, preventing Tianhu'er from later recovering her cultivation and seeking revenge. Though she was also his woman, Chen Chuyang didn't fully trust her.

After all, Tianhu'er was a fox of Tianwai; her credibility was unreliable, and other aspects naturally problematic.

The main concern was not controlling her life and death; if she returned to Tianwai and leaked everything about this place, wouldn't that be disastrous?

The situation of this world could not be exposed, nor let the Tianwai forces know; for now Chen Chuyang was satisfied with the arrangement and could buy more time for cultivation without having to rush to confront Tianwai.

A period of stability finally arrived, and Chen Chuyang naturally could not allow his life to be disrupted.

This world was ultimately too weak and needed to grow, quietly, that's all.

Before becoming stronger, he would not permit any mishap.

"Now admit that you are my woman; why didn't you admit it earlier?" Chen Chuyang watched the woman with interest; if she had admitted it earlier, there would be no current trouble—this woman truly wouldn't give up until the Yellow River.

After reaching the Yellow River, regret would be useless.

"I…" Tianhu'er choked.

Hu Jiuwei sneered, "Earlier it was Chen Chuyang, now it's a man. Tsk tsk, Tianhu'er, your face changes so quickly."

"If you don't want to acknowledge your husband's status, just say so; why humiliate him like this?"

"He is my husband; how could you humiliate him? It's just a small punishment, and you can't stand it?"

"You are simply being despicable; when I speak to you nicely you don't listen, yet you insist on acting violently."

Tianhu'er flushed red across her face: "You…"

Hu Jiuwei coldly said, "I don't want you; kneel."

Tianhu'er widened her pupils, unable to believe what she saw in front of her, never expecting Hu Jiuwei to act like this.

"You cannot do that."

The next moment, her body began to move on its own, completely beyond her control.

She knelt.

She knelt before Chen Chuyang, the posture strikingly similar to the one from those days.

Hu Jiuwei lifted her head and laughed, "Tianhu'er, look at how cute you look now."

"Husband, you agree, right?"

Chen Chuyang nodded, "Indeed she's cute, but unfortunately her temperament is a bit off."

Hu Jiuwei agreed, "Husband, rest assured, I have plenty of ways for this. How about letting her stay by my side so I can properly educate her? I guarantee she'll be obedient, what do you think?"

Tianhu'er immediately objected, "No, you can't do that. Chen Chuyang, she'll definitely find ways to humiliate me."

"Help me this once, and I'll obey you thereafter."

Chen Chuyang looked at Hu Jiuwei, who smiled, a mischievous chuckle.

"Husband, this woman is being despicably obstinate, insisting on acting."

"Come, Tianhu'er, shout a 'sister' so I can hear."

Tianhu'er gave Hu Jiuwei a white glance, but did not shout.

She stared at Chen Chuyang, waiting for his answer.

Chen Chuyang inhaled deeply, "You are of the Fox Clan; going back with me would actually be bad for you."

"Follow Hu Jiuwei; she can help you and let you recover your cultivation faster."

"Whether it's resources or pills, she can arrange them for you."

The Fox Clan has everything.

Chen Chuyang can provide her with pills, letting Hu Jiuwei handle the arrangements.

Although Tianhu'er was his woman, she still lagged behind Hu Jiuwei.

Not to mention the other women; Chen Chuyang was well aware of this and could not say he preferred to trust Tianhu'er over his own woman.

"Husband, you speak truly; I will certainly make proper arrangements," Hu Jiuwei grinned, her large white teeth dazzling and rather unsettling.

She knew the husband would stand on her side, and indeed he did.

"Chen Chuyang, I…" Tianhu'er opened her mouth to continue, but Hu Jiuwei turned and gave her a look.

Tianhu'er closed her mouth; with life and death in Hu Jiuwei's hands, she could no longer be as she was before.

Now it's settled: life and death are beyond her control, everything is mastered. Compared to shouting 'sister', this is even more tragic; later it will fall into her hands, and that life certainly won't be good, especially since the only one who could help her, Chen Chuyang, is not on her side.

Thinking of the future life, Tianhu'er felt a chill on her scalp.

"Husband, leave the rest to me; I will also obtain the Nine-tailed Celestial Fox Technique from her. Anything on her, I will extract and later send you a portion, husband."

"Fine."

Tianhu'er handed the matter over to her own woman; the subsequent affairs required no intervention from Chen Chuyang. They quickly left the fissure, emerged from the cave realm, and the following days Chen Chuyang spent in the Fox Clan, naturally rewarding both Hu Jiuwei and Tianhu'er.

Especially Hu Jiuwei, who wanted a child; Chen Chuyang naturally had to work hard to cultivate.

Three days later, Chen Chuyang left the Fox Clan.

Returning to Longshe Shan, just arrived at Longshe Shan, Shang Hongxue came forward with a big belly, behind her followed Shang Hongchen, her manner very shy, head lowered, not daring to meet Chen Chuyang's gaze.

Chen Chuyang had just wanted to speak and ask, his pupils brightened, he stared at Shang Hongchen's belly, inside there was a fluctuation of new life.

"Hongchen, you too?"

Shang Hongchen nodded shyly, Shang Hongxue smiled and said: 'Brother Chuyang, indeed I cannot hide it from you.'

She turned her head to Shang Hongchen and said: 'Look, I said it would definitely not be hidden from Brother Chuyang; he saw it at a glance.'

"Good, good, good." Chen Chuyang strode forward, took the hands of his two wives, and laughed heartily.

"Hahaha."
