Since the battle at Evil Demon Ridge, several dozen days had passed in the blink of an eye.
During this time, Inconstant Devil Hand had rushed back to deliver his report, while also conveying Xi Buwei's intention to marry off his daughter.
Lu Feng showed no turmoil on his face, but inwardly, he was somewhat constrained and hesitant. When it came to killing, he could raise his blade and bring it down without the slightest drag or hesitation. But where matters of the heart were concerned, he was rather indecisive, unsure how to deal with them.
By all rights, given the matter of responsibility, he ought to take Xi Youmeng as his wife. Yet there were nearly ten women like Xi Youmeng—Chu Youwei, Lin Xiaowan, Luo Qingqiu, and the rest. Marrying only one clearly did not seem appropriate, but marrying them all... Lu Feng doubted he possessed such fortune among women. These women were mostly proud by nature; it would likely be difficult for them to get along harmoniously.
This had been the greatest headache and source of vexation for him lately. It troubled him even more than the shackles of his Heart Trial or the prospect of breaking through the limits of his cultivation realm.
Aside from this troubling matter, there had fortunately been quite a few things that went smoothly during this period.
Feng Sen had led his people to easily subdue Evil Demon Ridge after it lost the Three Emperors' Association. Yun Zhuohua had brought the remaining members of Blazing Phoenix Hall to settle there, integrating the many resources of Evil Demon Ridge.
The matters at Ten Thousand Poison Marsh and White Bone Plain had also basically been brought under control.
Even the Heavenly Fiend Alliance had driven the Blood River Sect out of Blood River City.
