Chapter 1870: Ao Hei sees Shang Hongxue, frightened
"Hello, I am Chen Chuyang's wife, Shang Hongxue." Shang Hongxue smiled and reached out; her words lacked force, yet they conveyed her confidence and the powerful suppressive aura she brought—an innate pressure no other woman possessed.
Ao Hei didn't know why she felt this way; clearly she wasn't Chen Chuyang's woman and had nothing with him, yet she felt guilty, a strange feeling she couldn't understand, and she reached out in a daze.
"Hello, I am Ao Hei, princess of the Black Water True Dragon clan." As she reached out, Ao Hei released her dragon might, hoping Shang Hongxue and Shang Hongchen would know her strength and not give her trouble—she was quite a fighter.
Shang Hongxue narrowed her eyes, her smiling eyes shrinking to slits, exuding an imposing dignity.
"Gurgle." Ao Hei couldn't help but choke back a sob, then forced herself to say: "I have nothing with Chen Chuyang; don't misunderstand."
Upon hearing that, Shang Hongxue gave a solemn smile: "It's fine, you have nothing to fear; I won't mind. I am Chen Chuyang's principal wife, his lawfully wedded consort, and the mistress of Longshe Shan."
"Whether here or at Longshe Shan in Cangzhou, the mistress is me; I hope you understand—apart from my husband, I have the final say here."
In that instant, the dignity of Shang Hongxue as the principal wife erupted, and that dignity made Ao Hei choke back a sob.
The pressure exerted by Elder Xinran and the others was not even one-ten-thousandth of Shang Hongxue's; they were different. Shang Hongxue's cultivation and strength were not lacking, and the unique aura of her Cultivation physique rendered her own dragon might ineffective—indeed, she herself was frightened by her.
This was the first time such a thing had happened; Ao Hei had never before experienced someone weaker than her being able to intimidate her—something she had never imagined, yet it occurred now.
At this moment she suddenly understood why Elder Xinran and the others had that look when they knew she had returned with Chen Chuyang, and why Elder Xinran and True Person Tianlian looked at her that way—she finally realized they pitied her, truly feeling sorry for her.
They knew what she was about to face, whereas Bai Xinlan knew nothing, so she lacked that look.
Also, why did the little carp rush off to train? In Cangzhou it wasn't like this, but upon reaching Longshe Shan it fled like a deserter; the change puzzled Ao Hei, but now she understood.
The little carp also feared meeting Shang Hongxue; though Shang Hongxue seemed gentle and gave a soft, delicate impression, when she turned fierce no other woman could match her.
"I I I know." Ao Hei lowered her head, stammering.
She also didn't know why she felt guilty; the feeling was truly strange, she regretted deeply inside, thinking she shouldn't have come with Chen Chuyang to see Shang Hongxue—this gave others an immediate shock, a show of force right from the start.
"Knowing is fine; from now on you must call me elder sister, understand?" Shang Hongxue looked at her with a grin, the two words "elder sister"—will you say them or not?
Ao Hei abruptly lifted her head, looking at Shang Hongxue—this was her goal: to shout "elder sister," acknowledge her status, and thereafter be lower than her, one day as sister, forever as sister.
The other women all acknowledged Shang Hongxue's status, so naturally they dared not vie for the elder sister position.
She herself might end up the same as the others.
"Elder sister." Ao Hei gritted her teeth and shouted; her gaze could kill Chen Chuyang.
Chen Chuyang was also dumbfounded; he hadn't expected Ao Hei to lower her head so quickly and shout "elder sister," thinking this woman wouldn't call him that—after all, there was nothing between them, no affair, so why would Ao Hei feel guilty?
By shouting "elder sister," didn't that mean she and she had an affair?
Sure enough, after that cry of "elder sister," the looks exchanged between Ao Hei and Shang Hongchen were off.
Shang Hongchen crossed her arms, coldly staring at Chen Chuyang; after going out once she brought back a stranger woman, and moreover this woman was a princess of the Dragon Clan, her status and rank not inferior, giving her immense pressure, even greater than that from their masters.
Shang Hongchen was not Shang Hongxue; her confidence was insufficient, she could bluff others, but many women did not acknowledge her status.
Shang Hongxue was different; she was genuinely liked by Chen Chuyang, and her status was irreplaceable.
"Ao Hei little sister, you're fine; from now on on Longshe Shan, elder sister I'll watch over you." Shang Hongxue clasped her hands with hers, relieved.
This little sister is very smart, and also…… understands how to read the situation; since she called me elder sister, she is indeed my little sister.
Shang Hongxue naturally saw that Ao Hei had no relation with her husband; Ao Hei was still a novice, obvious at a glance, but not now—who knows what the future holds?
Ao Hei thought the same, or rather, she had this idea, which is why she chose to call herself elder sister.
"Thank you, elder sister." Ao Hei quickly adapted to her identity, shouted "elder sister," gaining Shang Hongxue's acknowledgment and help, and it was not in vain.
Living under someone's eaves, Ao Hei knew very well whether to bow down or not; moreover, she might later…… become their sister, and shouting "elder sister" in advance would help her.
"Hahaha, no need to be polite, you are my little sister; from now on, if anyone bullies you, tell elder sister, and elder sister will help you fight back." Shang Hongxue said smugly, fully approving of this little sister Ao Hei.
This little sister must be won over; whether in strength, cultivation, or any aspect, Ao Hei is highly suitable.
Her husband brought her into this world, showing she was important; he himself also needed to lend a hand, to make her one of his own.
The secrets of this world must not leak; only one's own people and the dead won't spill them. Since Ao Hei couldn't be killed, she must be turned into one of his own.
How to transform—this requires her.
"Shang Hongchen, take Ao Hei little sister to build her own quarters." Shang Hongxue turned her head and ordered the person behind her, Shang Hongchen.
Shang Hongchen clenched her fists, wanting to give this little sister a punch; she understood the orders, yet she still went ahead—otherwise, at times like this, one must not oppose the little sister, or she'd get beaten.
The current Shang Hongxue is not something she can oppose; the wise adapt to circumstances. Shang Hongchen took Ao Hei to build her chambers; Longshe Shan naturally has them, worrying she might not like it, she could build her own room however she wished.
Chen Chuyang gave Shang Hongxue a thumbs-up, praising: "Lady, you're still formidable—you even subdued Ao Hei."
"That's right, husband; Ao Hei isn't yet one of our own?" Shang Hongxue asked in a lowered voice.
Chen Chuyang nodded: "Not yet; her situation is rather special, I'll explain it to you in detail."
Next, Chen Chuyang told Shang Hongxue about Ao Hei's specific circumstances; after informing her completely, Shang Hongxue reflected: "Husband, you must exert more effort, strive to win her over soon—AO Hei must become one of our own."
"Lady, you're not angry?" Chen Chuyang teased.
"Husband, if I were angry I'd already be dead." Shang Hongxue gave Chen Chuyang a white eye, speaking unhappily.
"Hahaha."
