Chapter 1710

Three days passed in a flash.

Chen Chuyang went to Tianwai Longshe Shan as agreed, waiting for Bai Xinlan and the others to come up the mountain. Since it was a marriage alliance, he, as the protagonist, couldn't not show up. Shang Hongchen and Shang Hongxue didn't come along to Tianwai. Each had their own thoughts: one didn't want to trouble herself; Tianwai Longshe Shan was just that, nothing fun to do, so it didn't matter whether she went or not.

The other didn't want to feel embarrassed, still not having recovered from the state where her master had also become her husband's woman, not knowing how to face her master. Elder Xinran was a bit better, but also couldn't face it; she needed time to wash away this embarrassment.

Moreover, Shang Hongchen had been harshly punished once and couldn't get out of bed. When Chen Chuyang left, she was still snoring loudly, possibly needing to sleep half a day, and Chen Chuyang didn't feel like bringing her to Tianwai, lest she get angry again and he wouldn't know how to coax her.

Thus, Chen Chuyang arrived at Tianwai alone. Qinglong Daoren had welcomed him in advance and arranged everything beforehand. Although Elder Xinran and Tianlian Zhenren had opinions, those were directed at Qinglong Daoren; regarding Chen Chuyang, the two women had no objections.

After being fed last time, these two women wouldn't cause trouble; in fact, they even helped set up Longshe Shan. They couldn't let the Luotian White Snake Clan look down on them. After the two women had educated Qinglong Daoren, they told him not to worry needlessly in the future. Qinglong Daoren repeatedly promised, and only then did the two women let him off; otherwise, they might really chase him continuously for several days.

"Husband, stay away from Qinglong Daoren from now on; this person isn't reliable, you mustn't be led astray by him." Elder Xinran reminded him. Even though they knew Qinglong Daoren was Chen Chuyang's avatar, they were originally one entity, so Qinglong Daoren's thoughts naturally were Chen Chuyang's thoughts.

Elder Xinran didn't agree: Qinglong Daoren is Qinglong Daoren, Chen Chuyang is Chen Chuyang; they are different, independent entities. Although Qinglong Daoren is an avatar, this avatar is no different from an individual person, and the things he does the husband surely wouldn't know.

Tianlian Zhenren thought the same; all of this was Tianlian Zhenren acting on her own, unrelated to Chen Chuyang.

"Exactly, husband, from now on spend less time with him; Qinglong Daoren is too bad, his mind full of dirty thoughts, you mustn't be corrupted by him." Tianlian Zhenren put her hands on her hips, pointing at the mulberry while cursing the locust.

Almost pointing at Qinglong Daoren and saying he was messing around, Qinglong Daoren gave an embarrassed laugh, not intimidated by the two women's words, standing aside with a silly smile, saying nothing and offering no opinion; his eyes narrowed in a smile toward Chen Chuyang, as if saying, "Main body, I'm taking the blame for you again—this pot, I, Qinglong Daoren, am carrying it; who made me an avatar? I was born to carry the black pot."

Chen Chuyang signaled with his eyes for Qinglong Daoren not to overthink; Elder Xinran and the other had no ill intent and weren't talking about him, so he shouldn't wild-guess.

Qinglong Daoren gave Chen Chuyang a white-eye glance, saying, "They named names, yet it's not about me—self-deception, is that fun?"

"Cough cough cough, you two are overstating it; Qinglong Daoren is quite good, you can't treat him like this just because of one incident—he's doing it for your own good and for Longshe Shan's sake." Chen Chuyang could only help explain for Qinglong Daoren, not let the avatar take the blame.

Elder Xinran said bluntly: "Bullshit, if it were for us, why wouldn't he marry Bai Xinlan himself instead of making you, the husband, come?"

"I think Qinglong Daoren is more suitable—his talent, bloodline, and personality are all very fitting for Bai Xinlan; maybe Bai Xinlan actually fancies him, not the husband."

Tianlian Zhenren nodded seriously: "Not bad, I think the same; all this is his doing. Actually, we could let him personally marry, no need for the husband to come."

The two each said a sentence, leaving Chen Chuyang laughing and crying; Qinglong Daoren spread his hands, full of helplessness.

"Ah."

Qinglong Daoren sighed and said: "Ladies, the matter has already been decided and cannot be changed; to backtrack now would be disrespectful to Bai Xinlan."

"You two shouldn't say such things, and certainly not in front of Bai Xinlan."

The two women glared at Qinglong Daoren, making a motion to draw their swords; their anger had been building for a long time, previously never fully vented.

"Alright, alright, don't get angry, don't make a move—spreading it out would look bad." Chen Chuyang immediately grabbed the two women's hands, stopping their actions; he couldn't let them fight, for doing so now would just add to the joke, right?

"Hmph."

"Husband, we're giving you face, we won't stoop to his level." Tianlian Zhenren gave Qinglong Daoren a white-eye; the two women had never intended to fight, they were just unhappy with Qinglong Daoren's behavior, and if such a thing happened again they would definitely resort to violence.

This was a task given by Shang Hongxue to them, also her authority: to keep an eye on Qinglong Daoren, prevent him from messing around, and stop him from constantly introducing women to the husband.

"Husband, you'd better give him a good talking-to; don't let this happen again—next time, I as your concubine can't guarantee he'll be alright." Elder Xinran threatened.

Qinglong Daoren shrugged, gave a bitter smile; he really was having a tough time—carrying the black pot for the main body several times, plus being threatened, it's truly too hard.

Chen Chuyang also knew it was hard for him; he continually comforted and soothed him, telling him not to act impulsively, and that Elder Xinran and Tianlian Zhenren would be kept under control, not letting the two women run wild.

"Cough cough cough, alright, ladies, today is the great joyous occasion of the Luotian White Snake Clan and our Longshe Shan; we can't let outsiders see our internal strife, that would look bad." Chen Chuyang spoke, and the two women fell silent, no longer tense.

The two women calmed down, Chen Chuyang breathed a sigh of relief; he worried Elder Xinran might still start fighting, but in this matter they both had a point—it was his problem.

If not handled well, they really would resort to violence; even before coming, they had already fought. Chen Chuyang knew this clearly: first soothe the two women, then gradually punish them, so they learn to fear.

Elder Xinran and Tianlian Zhenren also understood Chen Chuyang's thinking; the two women became obedient, such an incident only needs to happen once—it can't occur repeatedly, otherwise Chen Chuyang would get angry.

Soon they awaited the arrival of the Luotian White Snake Clan; there were quite a few people, but they all stayed outside. Bai Meng Holy Maiden brought Bai Xinlan and Old Ancestor Bai Qingxu into Longshe Shan, while the rest of the clansmen remained outside.

Bai Meng Holy Maiden was well aware that Chen Chuyang didn't like too many people entering Longshe Shan, and besides, Chen Chuyang didn't want to see those clansmen; some things they just needed to know, the other clansmen didn't need to know.

The three entered Longshe Shan; Qinglong Daoren went up to greet them, Bai Meng Holy Maiden and Bai Xinlan came to the residence, and the three women saw Chen Chuyang.

At their first meeting, they all stared at each other.
