Chapter 242 Dare Again Next Time
"Um... you, you..."
"You know I'm shy, yet you deliberately embarrass your father?"
"You're so malicious to say that I was eaten by the Demon Race!"
Chu Qianqiu felt somewhat helpless for a moment, but when he thought of this demon-like woman, he slapped her butt again!
"Wuwu, it's all because Daddy brings back so many concubines every day. There are just too many of them!"
"Dad, can you slow down in finding concubines? Otherwise, whenever I see a woman at home, I have to call her a concubine!"
Xiao Yuehan said, and the few wives around her burst into laughter, unexpectedly making Xiao Yuehan jealous.
"Xiao Yuehan, why are you jealous of us?"
"Now your dad spoils you the most. We can't even see him much on a regular basis. We also hope he slows down in finding women, after all, there are too many... he can't handle them all, right?"
"We're all on the same front now!"
Liu Ruoyan touched her pregnant belly and said to Xiao Yuehan.
Xiao Yuehan nodded vigorously, feeling like she had found a kindred spirit and agreed with this reasoning.
"Yes, yes, Aunt Liu is right, that's it!"
"We should tie up Daddy."
"He's too lecherous."
"You all..."
Seeing the wives gathering around him, exuding a demonic charm, Chu Qianqiu took two steps back in fear. But as the head of the family, he couldn't retreat at this time and forcefully calmed down, diverting the topic.
"Alright, let's not talk about this."
"Ruoyan, you're pregnant now, why would you come to such a dangerous place?"
"Even if it's for refuge, you should stay in a safe place within the secret realm."
Worriedly, Chu Qianqiu came to Liu Ruoyan's side. He didn't want anything to happen to their unborn child even for a moment.
Seeing her husband's appearance, Liu Ruoyan gave him a disdainful look, making him reflect on his own mistakes.
"It's all because you're always causing trouble outside."
"Actually, I know Xiao Yuehan was joking when she said you were dead."
"But when she said the Demon Race has descended upon this world, although I haven't seen any so-called Demon Race, I couldn't help but worry about you, this dead ghost, still being outside."
"I'm staying in the Trial Tower now because the spiritual energy in this tower is abundant, and I'm not completely incapable of fighting. It's a little improvement in strength, that's all."
"It's all your fault!"
"Do you understand? It's all your fault!"
Her little fists pounded Chu Qianqiu.
Liu Ruoyan couldn't hold on any longer and burst into tears.
In fact, her earlier strength was all an act.
Before her husband returned, she was constantly worried about his safety.
Now that he had finally returned safely, she could finally let go of all the pressure.
"Mm, I'm back."
"Let's go out and rest first."
After embracing the crying Ruoyan, Chu Qianqiu hugged the other wives as well.
Chu Qianqiu once again felt the weight on his shoulders.
Now, his life no longer belonged to himself. He was alive for the sake of others.
"Go out?"
"Do you mean go back to the secret realm to rest?"
Seeing her husband's words, the few wives were somewhat puzzled.
"It's okay, don't worry about us."
"The situation is critical now, and each of us must work harder!"
Gu Qingxue also came to her husband's side and said so.
She now had to shoulder a responsibility in the family. In order to alleviate the pressure of the Demon Race's arrival, she had to become stronger.
"That's right, we are all the support behind you!"
"Believe in us!"
Qiao Xiaoxiao and Qing Lian also came out at this time, speaking with conviction.
Seeing even Qinglian, who had just given birth, Chu Qianqiu felt no pride, only a hint of guilt.
"Alright, I understand your intentions."
"But what I want to say is, um, the Demon Race did not invade."
"We can rest for a while now."
"?"
"?"
"?"
"?"
"Ah?"
Upon hearing this, the women were all puzzled.
What does this mean, the Demon Race is gone?
So they worried for nothing, it was all fake news?
What?
Thinking of this, everyone looked at Xiaoyuehan with scrutinizing eyes, who had an innocent look on her face.
Is she nervous because we're staring at her?
She's still the Empress!
But well, now she's just a little kid, so it's better for her to behave.
"Well... this really has nothing to do with me, what I said was all true!"
"If you don't believe me, ask Daddy!"
"This time I'm not lying!"
Xiaoyuehan defended herself loudly and quickly gained her father's approval.
Chu Qianqiu nodded and explained to the women what had happened outside, and they suddenly understood.
Thank goodness nothing happened!
If the Demon Race invaded, we would have to stay in this small place forever.
Sigh, I really don't want to see the suffering of the people outside.
Qinglian sighed. As a doctor who had grown up, she naturally had a compassionate heart and didn't want to see the common people suffer.
Gu Qingxue, on the other hand, curiously and somewhat cautiously asked her husband about the things she cared most about.
"Wait, husband, you said you went to the Falling Star Empire and destroyed Yunlan?"
"Yes, I also brought back a lot of treasures from there. When we have time, we can look and see if there's anything you want inside."
Chu Qianqiu gestured to the five storage rings in his hand, indicating that everything was inside.
"No, that's not what I want to ask."
"You should know what I care about the most."
"I understand."
"I destroyed the entire sect, but I brought her back."
Seeing Gu Qingxue's hesitant expression, Chu Qianqiu didn't avoid the truth and directly revealed what had happened.
Upon hearing this news, Gu Qingxue's heart skipped a beat, unsure whether to be sad or upset.
She still had some feelings for her sister, after all, her sister was a kind person when she was young and had always been good to her.
But ever since becoming the Misty Cloud Sect Saintess, her personality had changed drastically, as if she had become a different person.
She didn't want her sister to die, but upon hearing that her husband had really saved her sister, she felt a complex and unreal feeling.
This kind of emotion is hard to express, there is sadness, but also happiness.
Indescribable.
"I heard... she has become very strong now."
"When you brought her back, did she harm you?"
First, she anxiously circled around her husband.
Seeing that her husband was indeed fine, she finally relaxed.
"I'm fine, because from beginning to end, she never launched any form of attack against me."
"I brought her back directly."
