Chapter 1696

"You just know to target the people around us, husband, you are truly detestable." Shang Hongchen is speechless; this damn thing, just targets the people around oneself.

Younger sister Shang Hongxue, master Tianlian Zhenren, and then the people around others; these people have all been caught by him; in that world, any slightly outstanding woman has fallen into his hands; truly it makes one… speechless.

Yet this person is so strong and so charming; any woman who falls for him will ultimately follow him wholeheartedly; I am like that, not to mention my younger sister Shang Hongxue—she is the ultimate love‑brain, her eyes only see Chen Chuyang; nothing—sisters, parents—can compare to Chen Chuyang alone.

Master Tianlian Zhenren, Chen Chuyang's younger sister's master Elder Xinran, and many others—all the same; no matter how arrogant they were before, how noble their status, in the end they all became his women and willingly bore children for him.

Elder Xinran, so steadfast a sword cultivator, ultimately took this step; Shang Hongchen has many things she wants to say inside but doesn't know how to voice them, so she can only keep rolling her eyes to warn this husband, couldn't you stop targeting the people around her?

"Madam, this isn't my problem; it's those women's problem—the women around you have all set their sights on me, they insist on following me, I can't help it." Chen Chuyang spreads his hands innocently, very smug.

Shang Hongchen couldn't stand his smug look, reached out and twisted the flesh at his waist, to keep him from being too smug.

Chen Chuyang laughed hehe, didn't speak, but instead reached out to embrace Shang Hongchen, gently saying: "Madam, you wouldn't be jealous, would you?"

"No, no." Shang Hongchen's face flushed, she immediately shook her head; her reaction was too big, which only made Chen Chuyang want to laugh; he lowered his head, kissed her forehead, and said: "Madam, you just love being jealous—you even eat your master's jealousy, you're hopeless."

"Elder Xinran and Tianlian Zhenren will stay in Tianwai afterward; we, however, will soon return to Longshe Shan—what's the point of you being jealous of them?"

Shang Hongchen shook her head: "No, there's no such thing, husband, please don't talk nonsense."

I'm going to sue you for slander.

Chen Chuyang, of course knowing her thoughts, picked her up, intending to give this woman a little punishment; otherwise, she always loves being jealous, which won't do.

Seeing this, Shang Hongxue and the others naturally knew what Chen Chuyang intended to do; the three of them didn't stop him, just watched as Chen Chuyang and they left; after they entered the room, Shang Hongxue then said: "Shang Hongchen, this jealousy maniac, this time she's going to suffer—her husband will give her a good beating."

"Will Hongchen be alright?" Tianlian Zhenren was a little worried; after all, she's my disciple, and the husband's body is quite abnormal—can Hongchen withstand it alone?

Shang Hongxue took her hand and said: "Alright, this isn't something you should worry about; Shang Hongchen is just like that—she likes being jealous, she needs a good beating; if she isn't disciplined, she'll get carried away."

"Tianlian younger sister, you needn't worry; the husband knows his limits."

Tianlian Zhenren still worried: "But..."

Shang Hongxue narrowed her eyes and sneered: "Tianlian younger sister, you wouldn't want to join in, would you?"

"No, no, there's no such thing." Tianlian Zhenren immediately waved her hands; she couldn't admit it—she didn't want to go, she was just worried about her disciple.

"Alright, if you want to go, go ahead; I have some things I want to discuss properly with Younger Sister Xinran." Shang Hongxue waved her hand, shooing her away, so she could quickly go accompany Shang Hongchen and properly prove to the husband the depth of their master-disciple bond.

Tianlian Zhenren couldn't explain, so she could only obediently comply and then follow along.

Elder Xinran shook her head: "This Tianlian younger sister really is something—she thought of it herself, yet uses Hongchen as an excuse; we're all our own people, what's there to fear?"

"Exactly." Shang Hongchen ignored her and continued pulling Elder Xinran to talk.

Time came to five days later.

That morning, Longshe Shan welcomed three guests—Huang Yan and his party arrived again.

Chen Qinglian saw Shang Hongxue, immediately walked up, stood before her, and obediently shouted: "Mother, you really came?"

That obedient demeanor was unlike the former Chen Qinglian; when Huang Yan heard that cry of "Mother," he suddenly realized, lifted his head, and looked at the woman before him—this was his first time seeing Shang Hongxue.

Besides Shang Hongxue, there were several other women, seemingly all senior female disciples.

At this moment, he didn't dare to call out "senior female disciple"—calling one would offend the others, not calling would also offend someone.

The restless him looked toward Qi Haoyang, who nodded at him, stepped forward, and said: "Greetings, elder lady."

Shang Hongxue, hearing that, smiled and nodded: "Haoyang also came; come over, let the elder lady take a good look—your mother couldn't come, so let me examine you properly; very good, you haven't lost weight, it seems these years you've been doing well."

"Thank you, elder lady, for your concern." Qi Haoyang looked at Shang Hongxue with a hehe smile; Shang Hongxue took out some medicinal pills and handed them to him.

Qi Haoyang received the medicinal pills and said with a hehe smile: "Thank you, elder lady."

"Go on, go aside." Shang Hongxue, of course knowing his thoughts, each time he tries to mooch off me.

Huang Yan, seeing this, immediately stepped forward and fell to his knees with a plop: "Disciple Huang Yan pays respects to the senior female disciple."

"Thud thud thud."

He kowtowed three times in a row, his movements clumsy yet utterly sincere; Shang Hongxue naturally knew this disciple before her, and quickly raised her hand: "Get up, this is your share."

The gift that should be given must still be given; this is her meeting gift as a senior female disciple.

After receiving the gift, Huang Yan shouted even louder, more excited.

Beside them, Shang Hongchen's gaze fell on Huang Yan; Qi Haoyang gave Huang Yan a kick, causing him to kneel again; the clever Huang Yan loudly shouted: "Huang Yan pays respects to the senior female disciple."

They're all senior female disciples; never mind, just shout and then talk.

Only then did Shang Hongchen show a smile: "Not bad, your disciple is quite good."

She took out some gifts for him; as a senior female disciple, she couldn't let him call her that for nothing.

Thus, Huang Yan received another gift, feeling pleased; he looked toward Tianlian Zhenren and Elder Xinran, who immediately said: "Alright, we don't need to stand on ceremony; you silly oaf."

Huang Yan scratched his head and laughed foolishly hehe.

Next came Chen Qinglian's time—she accompanied her mother for a good chat, talking about what had happened over these years; Qi Haoyang felt envious, his mother hadn't come, but he knew she would definitely come to Tianwai later; this time she didn't come, maybe next time she will.

Regarding this, he wasn't worried at all; Qi Haoyang clearly understood his mother was busy, couldn't get away in the short term—unless someone on the banks of the Great Qi Dynasty could take her place, then he'd have time to come to Tianwai.
