An Arranged Marriage for You

Icebound Forest, core region.

A castle made of Ten-Thousand Year Profound Ice stood quietly beneath the thin sunlight, refracting magnificent colors.

Inside the castle, a breathtaking figure dressed in white with white hair stood silently before a floor-to-ceiling window polished from Ten-Thousand Year Profound Ice, her clear gaze fixed beyond the Icebound Forest.

"So many years have passed. Are you well?"

She murmured to herself, a trace of worry appearing in her eyes, though her face remained as calm as ever.

"Xue Er, when do you think Xiao Han will come back? That liar! When he left, he said it would take one or two years at the shortest, three to five years at the longest. But how long has it been now? Why hasn't he come back yet?" Beside the White-Robed Woman, a woman in green pouted as she tugged at a potted plant beside her, indignantly complaining.

At those words, the worry in the White-Robed Woman's eyes instantly vanished.

She turned to the woman in green, a smile that could shame a hundred flowers blooming across her face. "You know it's supposed to be three to five years. It's only been three years and nine months. What are you so anxious about?"

"Hehe, you only know how to talk about me. If you weren't thinking about him all the time, how could you remember so clearly exactly how much time had passed?" The woman in green stuck out her tongue and muttered.

Then she suddenly rushed forward with a mischievous grin, wrapped an arm around the White-Robed Woman's willow-slim waist, and blushed. "Xue Er, do you think Xiao Han will like the gift we prepared for him?"

"That was a gift you prepared for him. It has nothing to do with me." The White-Robed Woman's peerlessly beautiful face instantly flushed red as she hurriedly replied.

"Hmph! You heartless woman. Don't think I don't know that Xiao Han cares about you the most. Yet here you are, still so unable to let go. Do you know—"

Just then.

A resounding howl suddenly swept up the wind and snow, rolling in from afar.

"Wives, I'm back."

The two women exchanged a glance. Then, with two swishes, they appeared directly amid the swirling snow and raced toward the source of the voice.

Soon, the figure they had longed for day and night appeared before them, and their advancing steps abruptly stopped.

Their large eyes widened round as they stared at the man before them in utter disbelief.

Ye Han was now taller than he had been in their memories. His gentle features had gained a little more definition, and compared to his former youthful immaturity, he was undoubtedly more handsome now—refined and elegant, yet carrying the masculine vigor of a mature man.

If the Ice Empress and Snow Empress had not known him so well, they might have thought they had mistaken him for someone else.

His sky-blue hair, nearly reaching the ground, drifted in the wind. His white robes fluttered as Ye Han stood like an immortal descending into the mortal world. Wearing the familiar smile the two women could never forget, he opened his arms to them. "Wives, I'm back."

Just those words brought tears to their eyes. Their eyes instantly reddened, and like two young swallows, they threw themselves into his embrace.

"Wuwuwu, you bastard! You still know how to come back? Do you know how worried Xue Er and I were about you?" The Ice Empress sobbed, her little fists pounding Ye Han's chest with thumping blows.

Ye Han's mouth twitched.

It was only because his physique was absurdly strong. Anyone else would have been beaten to death by now.

The Snow Empress said nothing. She simply hugged Ye Han's sturdy waist, rested her cheek against his broad chest, then looked up with reddened eyes at the sharp profile of his face.

"I'm sorry for making you worry," Ye Han said softly after the Ice Empress vented for a while.

The Ice Empress's crying suddenly stopped. She looked up at Ye Han and asked timidly, "Xiao Han, did I hurt you?"

Only then did she remember that she seemed to have lost control of her strength just now.

"Haha, your husband is strong. I'm not that fragile." Ye Han laughed, pinched the Ice Empress's delicate nose, then tossed her onto his back. Finally, he scooped up the Snow Empress in a princess carry. "Bing'er, hold on tight. We're going home."

With a long howl, four Soul Rings appeared around him.

Douluo Continent.

One ring: Soul Master. Two rings: Soul Grandmaster. Three rings: Soul Elder. Four rings: Soul Ancestor. Five rings: Soul King. Six rings: Soul Emperor. Seven rings: Soul Saint. Eight rings: Soul Douluo. Nine rings: Titled Douluo.

When Ye Han entered Slaughter City, he had only recently become a three-ring Soul Elder. Yet after leaving, he had become a four-ring Soul Ancestor.

In a place like Slaughter City, Soul Power was nearly exhausted. There was only chaos and disorder, making normal cultivation impossible. Yet after Ye Han used his spiritual power to permeate Slaughter City, he received an enormous amount of vital energy in return. His cultivation rose rapidly, allowing him to break through in one stroke and reach the Soul Ancestor realm.

He was now a level forty-six Soul Ancestor.

As his Soul Rings appeared, frigid power spread outward, creating a winding path of ice beneath his feet.

Ye Han stepped forward, and a pair of ice skis appeared beneath his feet.

With his two wives, he darted between the ice mountains and great rivers of the vast snowfields.

The cold wind howled, but it could not drown out Ye Han's bright, carefree cries.

Even the Ice Empress and Snow Empress, who had lived on this snowfield for hundreds of thousands of years, were infected by Ye Han's mood and occasionally burst into clear laughter.

"Yoo-hoo!"

Ye Han let out a long cry. Like a world-class skier, he launched himself from a towering mountain on ice skis, performing more than a dozen consecutive flips in midair before landing and continuing toward the distance.

"Whew! That was thrilling," the Ice Empress said.

With her strength, she had actually felt her heart leap into her throat when Ye Han performed those movements.

"Hehe, was it fun?" Ye Han asked with a smile.

"Mhm!"

The two women nodded almost simultaneously.

It was the first time they had realized that this dull, desolate snowfield could have such an interesting activity.

"As long as it's fun. But Bing'er, could you loosen your legs a little? You're about to crush my waist." Ye Han spoke helplessly.

"Ah!"

The Ice Empress jumped in fright and instinctively loosened her legs.

At that moment, Ye Han leaped into the air again. A difficult maneuver frightened the Ice Empress into quickly clamping her legs around him again, unwilling to fall off his back.

"Hahahaha!"

Ye Han burst into laughter, unable to contain himself.

"Xiao Han, you bastard. You only know how to bully me." The Ice Empress lay sulkily on Ye Han's back, sounding aggrieved.

"Are you angry?"

Ye Han turned his head and looked at the little head by his shoulder.

But what greeted him was a pair of vividly red lips.

Several breaths later, Ye Han shook himself free and said speechlessly, "Why are you biting now?"

"Hehe, I'm biting you because you bullied me," the Ice Empress said adorably.

"This is bullying? Come on, come on. Once we get home, I'll show you what real bullying is." Ye Han said.

He had originally wanted to play a little longer, but the Ice Empress had stirred up a fire in him.

Icebound Forest, core region.

The Ice Crystal Castle stood tall, gleaming with magnificent colors.

Inside the castle, on the second floor, three figures quietly embraced on a large bed, feeling one another's scent and warmth.

"Xiao Han, are we useless?"

The Snow Empress raised her head. Her flushed, pretty face was incomparably adorable as she looked pitifully at Ye Han with her large eyes and murmured.

"What are you talking about?"

Ye Han did not understand. He gently kissed the Snow Empress's beautiful cherry-red lips.

"We... as your wives, can't... can't satisfy you. Doesn't that make us useless?" The Snow Empress lightly bit her red lips, her cheeks growing even redder as she spoke timidly.

"Uh..."

Ye Han was speechless.

After thinking for a moment, he looked at the Snow Empress and said, "If you two didn't wear those unspeakable outfits to tempt me, I should have been more or less fine."

Thinking back to when he had heard that the Ice Empress had prepared a gift for him, Ye Han had been rather expectant. He had never imagined it would be those unspeakable outfits.

Ye Han was somewhat helpless, but he could not possibly blame the two women over something like that.

At that moment, he could not help thinking of Boundless Sea again.

"Xiao Han, I'll find a few more wives for you!" the Snow Empress said.

"Cough, cough, cough!"

Ye Han coughed violently, his gaze turning strange as he looked at the Snow Empress.

Three wives and four concubines—the dream of countless men.

But Ye Han had truly never thought about it before.

Still, he shook his head. "That kind of thing depends on fate. A kindred spirit is hard to find. How many people in this world can truly spend a lifetime with us?"

As he spoke, Ye Han pulled the Ice Empress up and held her in his arms as well. "Stop worrying about this. Don't provoke me again in the future, understand?"

The Ice Empress pursed her plump red lips and lay in Ye Han's arms, not daring to say a word.

"But, Xiao Han... I... I've already arranged a marriage for you," the Snow Empress said weakly.

Ye Han did not recover from the shock for a long time.

Only after a while did he utter a single word. "Who?"

"A Soft Bone Rabbit from Star Dou Forest."

PS: I saw comments saying this novel is too explicit, and it scared my poor little heart into pounding. Looks like I need to rein it in a little. Also, give me recommendation votes, brothers!
