Chapter 229: Zhu Zhuqing: It seems like that

【Ding, your Soul Power Value +1.】

【Ding, your Steel Body Enhancement Value +1.】

In Qianxunji's mind, the system's notification sound rang.

Hu Liena's beautiful voice mixed with the system's notification tone, and Qianxunji felt as if he were listening to the most moving music in the world, his body and mind delighted.

The next day!

When the sun was three poles high, the Taiyang had already risen high, and warm sunlight showered the earth.

"Ya!"

Inside the Mishi, a tempting wake-up call suddenly sounded, the voice melodious.

Zhu Zhuqing slowly opened her eyes; having just woken, her gaze was still dazed, all she could see was the ceiling, dark all around.

After a few breaths, Zhu Zhuqing came to her senses and realized she had become Qianxunji's woman.

Moreover, after the wedding night, she was so exhausted that she fell into a deep sleep, not knowing how long she had slept.

But Zhu Zhuqing felt that she had slept for a long time.

Suddenly, Zhu Zhuqing felt someone sleeping beside her.

Hmm, no need to think, it's definitely Qian Ge.

Zhu Zhuqing had already become Qianxunji's woman; her heart was wholly his, so she turned and hurriedly embraced him, narrowing her eyes as she rested her head on his neck, her face full of happiness.

Hmm, how fragrant!

Suddenly, Zhu Zhuqing smelled a woman's fresh fragrance, and the scent was alluring, making one's blood boil upon smelling it.

Strange, why does Qian Ge have such an alluring scent?

Suddenly, Zhu Zhuqing felt something was off.

Because, she felt the skin of the person she was embracing was unnaturally smooth.

Although Qian Ge's skin is also excellent, better than that of an average woman, the person before her had skin that was incredibly smooth and supple, and her build seemed off.

Boom!

Suddenly, a thought flashed through Zhu Zhuqing's mind: Could it be, could it be that the person before her is not Qian Ge?

Thinking this, Zhu Zhuqing hurriedly opened her eyes and focused: fair skin, a snow-white swan neck, golden short hair.

A woman, and moreover a very beautiful woman.

A woman she did not know.

"Ah!"

Zhu Zhuqing let out a sharp scream, quickly releasing her grip on the person before her, stepping back some distance under the covers, her face full of bewilderment.

After all, she had just consummated her marriage with Qianxunji the night before, and then fell into a deep sleep.

But upon waking, the person beside her was not Qianxunji but had become another woman; anyone would likely be bewildered, even enraged.

"Ya..."

Zhu Zhuqing's scream startled Hu Liena awake from her sleep, and she slowly opened her eyes.

But as soon as she opened her eyes, she saw Zhu Zhuqing to her left looking at her with a bewildered and doubtful expression.

Seeing Zhu Zhuqing awake, Hu Liena gave an alluring smile and politely greeted:

"You must be Zhu Zhuqing, right? You've slept for a day and a night, but you're finally awake."

Zhu Zhuqing: "???"

Zhu Zhuqing looked dubiously at Hu Liena before her, never expecting the other to know her name, and even accurately aware that she had slept for a day and a night.

Doesn't that mean Hu Liena has been in the Mishi for at least a day and a night, if not longer?

"Who are you? Why are you here?"

Zhu Zhuqing looked at the girl before her, whose appearance was no less than her own and who exuded an alluring aura, and asked curiously:

"Hehe!" Hu Liena chuckled lightly, placing her hand on Zhu Zhuqing's fair fragrant shoulder, and said:

"I am the Saintess of the Spirit Hall... Hu Liena, my master is the previous generation's Saintess, Bibidong."

"As for why I am here, it is because I was favored by His Holiness the Pope of the Spirit Hall, the continent's foremost Divine Abode, Qianxunji, and then..."

"Then yesterday, Qian Ge brought me into the Mishi; when I entered the Mishi, you were already deep in sleep on the bed, according to Qian Ge, because you were seriously injured and overly tired, so you only woke up today."

"Ah?" Zhu Zhuqing listened to Hu Liena's words, and the more she listened, the uglier her face became.

It seems that, before she even woke up, Qianxunji had already found another wife?

This, this future is too absurd, isn't it? So fast?

Isn't it said that the Spirit Hall's Pope Qianxunji only has a few women in his lifetime?

And yet now, it's actually this outrageous?

Zhu Zhuqing found it somewhat unbelievable, looking at Hu Liena and asking in disbelief:

"You say you are the Spirit Hall's Saintess, and your master is Bibidong; given that relationship, how could Qianxunji possibly lay a hand on you?"

"You must be deceiving me, right?"

Qianxunji looked at Zhu Zhuqing's grim expression and also understood her.

After all, anyone who just wakes up to find another woman beside them would be unable to comprehend it, feeling extremely upset.

Thus, Hu Liena patiently explained to Zhu Zhuqing:

"You are Zhu Zhuqing, right? Then I'll call you Qing'er."

"Qing'er, I know you find it hard to believe, but my master Bibidong is Qianxunji's disciple, and all of them are his women."

"So what do you think? I am merely Bibidong's disciple; wouldn't Qian Ge dare to lay a hand on me?"

Zhu Zhuqing heard this and felt it also made sense.

But when she woke up, the person beside her had become another woman, and she was still very sad.

Hu Liena saw why Zhu Zhuqing was upset, so she continued to console her.

"Qing'er, do you think Qianxunji is very fickle?"

"Mm." Zhu Zhuqing nodded.

"Actually, this time it's just a coincidence."

"I lost my parents at a young age, and the Spirit Hall raised me; my teacher Bibidong treated me like her own daughter. So I also understand Qianxunji very well."

"He is actually not fickle; rather, he becomes devoted, single-minded, and very good to the woman who belongs to him."

Saying this, Zhu Zhuqing suddenly interjected:

"Qianxunji already has several women, and in these past few days he's gained two more—how is that devoted? How is that not fickle?"

"Qing'er, you're wrong." Hu Liena patted Zhu Zhuqing's shoulder and said:

"You know Qianxunji's status: he is His Holiness the Pope of the Spirit Hall, the strongest power on the continent, and the strongest Divine Abode on the continent."

"With such a noble status, ninety-nine percent of women on the continent want to marry Qianxunji and become his woman."

"Yet Qianxunji only has a few women, and he treats each very well. If it were another man, he'd likely have many wives and concubines by now, like an emperor."

"So, Qing'er, Qianxunji is very devoted and very good to women. Being able to become his woman is a blessing we couldn't cultivate in eight lifetimes."

"Nana, what you said... seems... actually makes sense."

Zhu Zhuqing listened to Hu Liena's words, thought about it, and felt it also made some sense.

After all, she came from the Star Luo Empire nobility, so she naturally understands the attraction a high-status man has for women.

Even if a nobleman from the Star Luo Empire utters a single sentence, tens of thousands of women will vie to become his woman.

Even more so, Qianxunji is the strongest and most handsome man on the continent.
