Chapter 884: Two Years, the Nine‑Tail Celestial Fox Arrives

Big‑legged beautiful women, who doesn't like them? Chen Chuyang won't admit he's a gentleman. Fine, a gentleman also enjoys a lady, and he only wants to give these beauties a stable, happy life, all for their own good.

Even if it means sacrificing himself, Chen Chuyang doesn't mind.

"Silly girl, the one I love most in my heart is you; don't overthink it. No matter how those women tempt me, I won't be moved."

Shang Hongxue didn't believe Chen Chuyang's nonsense. If it were really so, Qi Ruohua would never have appeared, nor would Hu Jiuwei's mistake, showing that Brother Chuyang's heart isn't firm enough. Yet these words can't be spoken; offending Brother Chuyang would be rude.

Shang Hongxue teased Chen Chuyang's chest, constantly harassing him, making him uncomfortable.

"Brother Chuyang, what do you think of Shang Hongchen?"

Chen Chuyang blinked, lowered his head, his eyes regained a hint of spirit, a bit surprised.

The girl actually dared to ask that question to his face; she knows best the matter between him and Shang Hongchen, including the details. Without Shang Hongchen's broken engagement, perhaps she wouldn't have risen, nor this marriage with Chen Chuyang.

One could say the two being together owes thanks to the great‑hearted Shang Hongchen. As for Shang Hongchen, Chen Chuyang avoids her as much as possible, not provoking her to avoid a scandal.

Even if Shang Hongxue had that thought and wanted to matchmake them, Chen Chuyang still evaded. His behavior couldn't hide from Shang Hongxue; there was no progress between them. The elder sister refused to act, didn't agree, it's always the same. At this rate, they'll never take that step in a lifetime.

As a younger sister and as a lady, she naturally must be responsible for Chen Chuyang and also for her own elder sister. Truly Chen Chuyang's demands are excessive; saying it's for cultivation, Shang Hongxue alone can't sustain it, she needs someone to share the burden.

Counting again, the most suitable is her elder sister Shang Hongchen. First, they are blood sisters, can help each other, and need not worry about other issues; jealousy doesn't arise between them, nor will they become enemies.

They can also jointly deal with other disobedient people, solidifying their position.

Moreover, Shang Hongchen's situation is such that no one dares to claim her in this world; with her proud nature she won't be interested in other men. Her parents also need explanations. Chen Chuyang, on the other hand, must expand the Chen Clan's lineage; their line is sparse.

He must inherit the incense flame, leave a bloodline; otherwise when Chen Chuyang's cultivation grows higher, obtaining a bloodline will become harder.

Shang Hongxue is also working hard, yet she won't finish that quickly.

"Why ask that?"

Chen Chuyang touched Shang Hongxue's face, thinking this woman truly cares for his good; he can't handle it alone, so he starts looking for a partner.

On Qi Ruohua's side, she agreed.

He also needs to find Jing Yuheng; even if she's a biological elder sister, she wants to bring her in.

Chen Chuyang doesn't know how to thank this daughter‑in‑law; she's truly wonderful, caring for him so much.

With a wife like this, what more could a husband ask for.

"Brother Chuyang, you still ask, isn't it all for your own good? You know your own bodily condition best."

She can't handle it alone, truly can't bear it, so she must find help.

No matter what, Shang Hongxue can't bring herself to say this, even when the two are alone together.

"Ahahaha."

Chen Chuyang embraced Shang Hongxue gently and said, "Actually you don't need to worry about me, I'm fine."

Shang Hongxue replied straight, "No, Brother Chuyang, you must not."

"I can't let you suffer; that would affect your cultivation."

"This matter is up to me; you just need to nod in agreement."

"Huh?" Chen Chuyang looked at the resolute Shang Hongxue, realizing he can't persuade this woman.

Shang Hongxue is truly too good to him; Chen Chuyang held her tightly.

At this moment, he only wants to sit with her, leaning on each other.

One day later.

Qi Ruohua finally woke up, stumbling out of the room, saw the two cuddling, and gave a faint smile.

She walked over, sat beside them, without disturbing the pair.

Chen Chuyang had long noticed her arrival, smiled at her; Shang Hongxue also noticed, opened her eyes and asked, "Are you feeling better?"

Qi Ruohua flushed a deep red, nodded softly.

At this moment, she bore no emperor's bearing.

Shang Hongxue released Chen Chuyang, then took Qi Ruohua's hand; the two women resumed chatting, nurturing their feelings.

As for Chen Chuyang, abandoned, he was useless.

Qi Ruohua and they stayed on the mountain for five days; the first three days Qi Ruohua accompanied Chen Chuyang, the latter three Qi Ruohua truly could not continue, so she returned Chen Chuyang to Shang Hongxue, needing rest. Before the time was up, she hurried away with Jing Yuheng.

What followed, Shang Hongxue suffered terribly, bearing Chen Chuyang's wrath.

Three days and another three days.

Shang Hongxue became completely numb; she thought of nothing, only one thought in her mind.

"Quickly bring Shang Hongchen, continue onward; I might truly be ruined."

Thinking and acting, she immediately got up, endured fatigue and pain, went to find Shang Hongchen.

Chen Chuyang gained time to rest; he thoroughly absorbed the Yin yuan within his body, strengthening his power.

Yin and yang harmonized again; after circulating the method several rounds, the Yin yuan was fully consumed, merged into his body, raising his physique a bit, though not markedly.

Chen Chuyang didn't feel any regret about this at all.

"Each incremental gain, at this rate, I'll soon Advancement the fifth layer of the Hunyuan Dao Scripture."

"I wonder what changes my body will undergo after the breakthrough?"

"Looking forward to breaking through again."

Every major realm breakthrough grants Chen Chuyang considerable benefits; his divine abilities all need strengthening.

Among them, the Dripping Blood Rebirth divine ability remains incomplete, not fully perfected.

To achieve true Dripping Blood Rebirth still lacks a bit; Chen Chuyang isn't in a hurry, takes it slowly.

Step by step he comprehends, besides Dripping Blood Rebirth there are other divine abilities—fire, thunder, water, etc. —each understood once; some aren't useful now, but will surely be later.

More divine abilities, more paths, and he won't be restrained by others.

Thus, Longshe Shan quietly changed.

Two years passed, silently.

Tianwai had no enemies descending; the world seemed to have paused, especially Longshe Shan, which saw no changes, repeating the same thing every day.

The only change was the increase in spiritual Qi density; Chen Hu and Chen Li entered the path of cultivation, their strength soaring, no longer ordinary half-human half-demons; Hu Yueer was very well-behaved, and these days nothing happened.

Outside Longshe Shan, an uninvited guest arrived.
