Chapter 165: 159. Sisters of One Mind (2/2)

159. Sisters of One Mind (2/2)

Chen An had long anticipated such a situation.

Therefore, he was not the least bit flustered at this moment.

He was very composed.

After Wen Zhiyun's emotions had calmed down slightly, he explained unhurriedly:

"Regarding my bold idea of taking that fox demon as a concubine, it is not because I was moved by lust, nor was I bewitched by that fox demon."

"Rather, it is a relatively stable solution I arrived at after weighing all the pros and cons."

"You all know what my current situation is."

"I have offended that fox demon to the death and become her enemy."

"If I could kill that fox demon, then whether we are enemies or not would not be an issue at all."

"But the problem is, I simply cannot kill that fox demon."

"So, I changed my line of thinking, planning to take that fox demon as a concubine. In this way, our family would have one less Golden Core great cultivator as an enemy and one more Golden Core great cultivator as family—killing two birds with one stone."

Chen An simply stated the reasons why he would do this, proving that he had not been bewitched by that fox demon.

Upon hearing this, Wen Zhiyun sneered and asked with a look of amusement: "You think quite highly of yourself. That fox demon is a Golden Core great cultivator; just because you say you want her as a concubine, why would she be willing to marry you?"

Chen An said calmly: "Because she is still an illiterate fledgling fox, because she is only eighteen years old this year, because I am currently conquering her step by step, and because I possess an Ancient Forbidden Technique called Essence Blood Enslavement."

Shen Qingyi grasped the key point of these words, slightly furrowing her willow brows as she said: "Husband, what kind of forbidden technique is Essence Blood Enslavement? Why have I never heard you mention it?"

Before Chen An had achieved the Golden Core stage, she used to study Dharma Spells with him every day.

Regarding Chen An, she had taught him every spell she could without reservation.

However, at this moment, she heard of such an unfamiliar spell from Chen An's mouth, and thinking that Chen An was keeping something from her, she could not help but feel a bit disheartened.

Chen An had an extremely strong ability to read people, and he knew that Shen Qingyi was misunderstanding him at this moment.

However, it was not easy for him to explain it to Shen Qingyi for the time being.

Because this Ancient Forbidden Technique, Essence Blood Enslavement, originated from a system reward, it was truly difficult to explain clearly.

Limited by this, he simply did not explain.

He would wait until he thought of a good reason later to give Shen Qingyi a proper explanation.

By the way, he would also arrange an explanation for why he was able to break through so quickly.

To avoid his wives and concubines feeling that he was holding back and not being completely honest with them.

After briefly thinking these things through.

Chen An briefly introduced the effects of Essence Blood Enslavement to his wives and concubines, saying that this forbidden technique could control that fox demon, so they would not have to worry about her rebelling after entering the family.

After finishing, he specifically added that this forbidden technique was cursed and could not be taught to others, otherwise the curse would erupt.

These words were meant for Shen Qingyi to hear.

The implication was that it was not that he, the husband, did not want to teach her, but that this forbidden technique could not be taught to anyone at all.

After hearing this explanation from Chen An.

The four wives and concubines all felt a sense of relief in their hearts.

Although they still did not quite support Chen An taking that fox demon as a concubine, at least they now knew that their husband had not been bewitched by that fox demon and remained as rational as ever.

"Husband, I think taking that fox demon as a concubine is still too risky."

Shen Qingyi said after some thought: "Although you have Essence Blood Enslavement to restrict her, that is ultimately just a restrictive measure to ensure that the fox demon does not harbor ulterior motives against you."

"But the three younger sisters and I, as well as Xiao Yuejian and Chen Yike, do not have the means of Essence Blood Enslavement to restrict that fox demon, so it is hard to guarantee that we won't be harmed by her."

"And the most important point is, if everyone is truly to become family, then everyone's hearts must be as one."

"And you, Husband, taking that fox demon as a concubine is basically relying on means that leave her no choice but to submit to you; in other words, you haven't gained that fox demon's heart at all."

There was no small amount of reason in Shen Qingyi's words.

Upon hearing this, the other three wives and concubines, who had originally intended to compromise with their husband, immediately developed opinions and worries again.

Seeing this, Chen An did not say much, only saying with full confidence:

"Rest assured, I have already considered everything you have said."

"If one day I really bring that fox demon home, it will mean that I have completely captured her heart and can guarantee that she wants to be a part of this family from the bottom of her heart."

"Alright, everyone go do what you need to do. While it is not yet dark, I will go to the cave to check on that fox demon."

"Also, in the future, when I go to visit that fox demon, I will try my best to use a Recording Stone to record the scenes of us interacting."

"When the time comes, I will bring them back for you to see, so you can understand in advance what kind of person that fox demon is, so we can all discuss this matter together."

After saying these words.

Chen An briefly said goodbye to his wives and daughter, then left the tunnel via Sword Flight.

Seeing him fly out of sight in an instant, rushing to see that fox demon, Wen Zhiyun felt very unbalanced in her heart.

She instinctively began to grumble.

Angrily speaking of his faults.

Saying things like how humans and demons are on different paths, and as a human cultivator, how could he marry a fox demon and bring her home?

Was he not tired of living a stable life?

Compared to her, Song Huaying, as the primary wife, was more open-minded.

She understood her husband very well and knew that she could not change his mind, so she chose to obediently support him and be a virtuous helper.

Seeing that Wen Zhiyun was truly furious, she smiled and comforted her:

"Sister Wen, regarding the matter of Husband taking a fox demon as a concubine, you actually don't need to worry so much."

"Ever since I awakened the Flower God Bloodline, I have already belonged to the demon kind, and I know the difference between demons and humans."

"For a demon that has already transformed into human form, there is actually not much difference from the human race anymore."

"The only difference is that humans have a Spirit Root within their bodies, while demon creatures have a Demon Core."

"Other than that, there is no distinction."

Song Huaying spoke with reason and evidence, and every word she said was convincing.

Shen Qingyi also said, "Ying is right; demon creatures that have already taken human form are, strictly speaking, human. They can engage in carnal relations with humans and produce offspring."

Gu Xinyue followed up, "If Husband can make that fox demon conceive his child, then she will certainly be able to integrate into our family. After all, a child is a bond that no mother can ever let go of."

Wen Zhiyun had originally been very angry, but hearing the three sisters say this, she suddenly felt it made quite a lot of sense, and her anger dissipated significantly.

After calming her mood slightly, she said to the three sisters:

"Sister Shen, Yue, Ying, if that fox demon whose cultivation has reached the Golden Core Mid-stage really enters our home, we sisters must unite and not let her bully us."

"Certainly."

"Mm."

"Rest assured, with Husband here, even if that fox demon's cultivation is high, we have no need to fear her."

The other three spoke one after another.
