Zhu Ganglie was filled with mixed emotions.
Young Master Empty and the others also watched Ding Ling with considerable envy.
It was fair to say that
most of the men envied Ding Ling at that moment.
After all, the six princesses were breathtaking beauties! And they were all so forward, adoring, and passionate in doting on Ding Ling! What man would not be jealous?
The women, meanwhile, envied the six princesses.
After all, to them, Ding Ling was the very definition of the perfect man. Marrying a man like him undoubtedly meant happiness and good fortune. How could they not feel envious and jealous?
And precisely because of that,
wherever the sedan chair passed,
the crowds erupted.
The princesses hugged Ding Ling even tighter, afraid some vixen outside would steal him away.
No one understood their husband's charm better than they did.

The six sisters would join forces to keep Ding Ling to themselves and deny the vixens outside any chance to seduce their husband!
Their husband was so irresistible, so exceptional.
If those scheming vixens wanted him, they would first have to get past all six sisters!

Once I started slaying demons, I found it very difficult to stop, and ordinary people often suffered terrible casualties as well. In the end, I had no choice but to hand the task of guarding the western frontier over to my fourth brother, Yuanji..."
Indeed.
