Apology

The manager downstairs watched the three people heading upstairs, his face full of envy. He muttered:

"Which Hidden Family produced such a Heaven's Chosen? At such a young age, he's already a Four-Ring Soul Sect Master, and his Spirit Ring Configuration is ridiculously impressive. What makes me even more envious is that two beautiful women actually like him!"

When Yun Qi and the other two reached the door, they looked at one another.

Xiao Wu blushed and took out the room card.

"There's only one room! The server said this was the only room left!"

After opening the door, Xiao Wu entered, pulled Zhu Zhuqing in from outside, and prepared to close it.

Yun Qi wasn't having that! He immediately braced the door with his foot, then slipped inside in a flash.

He looked at Xiao Wu and said apologetically:

"I'm sorry, Xiao Wu. I didn't consider your feelings! You know that in this world, Grandfather Jack and you are the only two people I have who are family in everything but blood! Besides, didn't Grandfather Jack often tell you to help me find more wives? You wouldn't want our family to have too few descendants in the future, would you..."

As he spoke, Yun Qi's voice grew weaker and weaker until it was barely audible. Even he felt that he sounded far too shameless and pathetic.

Xiao Wu pulled Zhu Zhuqing onto the rose-covered bed and looked at Yun Qi. She knew that Grandfather Jack wanted Yun Qi to marry more wives and preserve his bloodline. After all, Yun Qi had no father or mother, and preserving more descendants suited the customs of this world. That was why Old Jack often nagged Xiao Wu and Yun Qi about it.

It wasn't only Spirit Masters who were like this. The world of soul beasts was the same. The higher a soul beast's cultivation, the harder it was to escape this custom. Although she had never experienced such things herself, that wasn't what Xiao Wu was angry about!

However, seeing Yun Qi's sincere attitude made Xiao Wu feel much better, and some of her anger faded. After all, during those six years, whether it was sparring, fighting, or trading insults, Xiao Wu had never been Yun Qi's match!

Therefore, Xiao Wu greatly enjoyed Yun Qi's act of submission. However, she didn't show it, continuing to stare at him with a gloomy expression.

The longer Yun Qi was stared at, the more uneasy he became. He sat restlessly.

Xiao Wu directly asked:

"You finding a wife isn't a problem, but you promised before that I would be the first!"

Yun Qi understood what Xiao Wu meant and stopped pretending. He knew she wasn't very angry anymore, so he stepped forward, wrapped an arm around her neck, lowered his head, and kissed her while she was still stunned. He didn't give Xiao Wu any chance to react.

As for Zhu Zhuqing, she turned her head aside without saying anything. After all, she was the newcomer.

Moreover, Zhu Zhuqing didn't care that much about having multiple wives. She had been born into a Great Family, where the women generally married into the Royal Family. An emperor having hundreds of women was considered few, so she had grown accustomed to such things under the Subtle Influence of her surroundings!

Compared to Dai Mubai's debauchery, Zhu Zhuqing hadn't objected to much. But he had given up and been casually defeated by Yun Qi, who was much younger than him, while completely disregarding his own life. Therefore, this matter was nothing in Zhu Zhuqing's eyes. As long as Yun Qi had her in his heart and cared about her, that was enough!

Moreover, after hearing Xiao Wu say that Yun Qi had no father or mother and was the last person left in his entire family, Little Cat had developed some sympathy. After all, to a woman born into a Great Family, preserving the bloodline was the most important thing!

Xiao Wu was kissed until she could barely breathe. She hurriedly slapped Yun Qi's back with her hand. Only then did Yun Qi release her, looking at her flushed face as he Chuckled.

Xiao Wu pinched the soft flesh at Yun Qi's waist and glared fiercely at him.

"I'll let you off this time. The next time you look for a Sister without getting Zhu Qing's and my permission, you'll suffer the consequences!"

Seeing that the situation had calmed down, Yun Qi breathed a sigh of relief. He sat directly between the two girls, hugged them, and lay down on the bed with them.

Little Cat and Little Rabbit panicked at once, thinking Yun Qi was about to do something improper. They hurriedly tried to sit up, but Yun Qi's arms were too strong. He pulled them back down, and both their heads came to rest against his chest.

The two girls listened to Yun Qi's heartbeat. Seeing that he wasn't making any improper moves, they stopped struggling and quietly lay on him, emptying their minds as they examined the room called the Red Ocean!

The room was enormous. All the furniture was silver, carved with exquisite floral patterns. The bright-red carpet was covered in various rose patterns. The center of the hall was even more outrageous: enormous rose petals had been piled into a red heart, with the words "One Thousand and One, You Are My Only One!" written on it.

Aside from that, roses were everywhere in the room. Vases, the bed, the walls, and the ceiling were all decorated with roses of various kinds!

Xiao Wu clicked her tongue in amazement and said to Yun Qi:

"If we had to pay for this, how much would it cost?"

"Hm?"

Yun Qi looked puzzled.

Seeing this, Xiao Wu explained:

"After watching you fight in the arena, the hotel manager let us stay here for free!"

Yun Qi understood and merely smiled without asking any further questions. He looked at Zhu Zhuqing lying against his chest and slowly said:

"From now on, come with us to study at Shrek. Don't worry. I'll protect you!"

Zhu Zhuqing Nodded.

"I heard Dai Mu studies there too. Can that place really teach anything?"

Xiao Wu chimed in:

"Exactly! Why do we have to study there?"

Yun Qi smiled and stroked both girls' heads.

"You'll definitely learn something if you go. Even if you don't, don't you have me? I guarantee I won't let your cultivation speed or knowledge fall behind!"

Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing saw that their man had put it that way, so they stopped asking questions.

Before long, Xiao Wu could no longer hold back. She pulled Zhu Zhuqing toward the bathroom to bathe and warned Yun Qi not to peek!

Yun Qi rubbed his nose as he listened to the sound of water and laughter from inside. He almost transformed into a demon and charged in to wreak havoc! After forcibly calming himself and his brother down, Yun Qi checked his long-missed status panel.
