Since Nan Xuan could not use his soul power, the two soul beasts that existed as his soul rings could naturally only move about like ordinary humans.
Lan Yingying watched as Liu Mumu snickered to the side, and she thought to herself, how could she be the only one to suffer such a good thing?
She grabbed the hand Liu Mumu had resting on Nan Xuan's back and gave it a hard yank, causing the other woman to tumble onto the edge of the large bed. Lan Yingying then pinched Nan Xuan's waist with her other hand, and Nan Xuan, reacting to the instinctive pain, rolled over and pinned the nearby Liu Mumu underneath him.
Liu Mumu stared at Lan Yingying in a daze, wondering why she hadn't thought of that sooner if she was so clever.
Lan Yingying could only indicate that it was because she had been set up by her, and it had only just occurred to her.
Liu Mumu followed suit and pinched the other side of Nan Xuan's waist, and in the end, both of them managed to free themselves.
Lan Yingying and Liu Mumu sat on the sofa, looking at Nan Xuan lying on the bed, and Liu Mumu said speechlessly, "What do we do now?"
"What else can we do? Sleep on the sofa." Lan Yingying really wanted to twist the head off that guy Yang Tian and hang it up like a lightbulb.
When that guy arranged the rooms today, he had actually only booked one room for the three of them. When Nan Xuan tried to explain, that guy kept shouting "sister-in-law" and toasted Nan Xuan until they were both drunk, and the wives of those two fellows had dragged their husbands away like dead pigs.
"Yingying, I've heard about your past. You don't love that Tang Hao anymore, do you?" Liu Mumu asked, looking at Lan Yingying, who was sitting on the sofa with her arms wrapped around her legs.
"A guy like that is no longer worthy of my love." Lan Yingying said without the slightest hesitation.
"That's true. I don't believe for a second that there wasn't a conspiracy behind what happened back then." Liu Mumu had also read the scripts of their past, and she knew the answers to all those questions—some of which she had even answered herself.
Lan Yingying didn't respond, but she silently acknowledged the truth of the other woman's words.
"Since that's the case, why don't you marry Nan Xuan? I see that many wealthy and powerful people on this continent have several wives, and Nan Xuan is a peerless Douluo. You've been living together for so long, so it would be perfectly legitimate for you to be together," Liu Mumu said, looking at Lan Yingying and joking.
"You dead willow tree, I think it's you who's feeling spring fever," Lan Yingying, who had the mental age of a forty or fifty-year-old, saw through the inner thoughts of the twenty-year-old Liu Mumu at a glance.
"That's not it at all, don't talk nonsense. I saw in that online novel written by Yu Xiaogang, The Night Before the Wedding, I Discovered My Wife Is Actually My Cousin, that if you want to completely forget someone you liked before, you should find someone else you like. I think what he said makes a lot of sense." Liu Mumu acted as if she were entirely concerned for Lan Yingying, even bringing up evidence as she looked at her seriously.
Lan Yingying's mouth twitched, but she still glanced at Nan Xuan lying on the bed; perhaps what Yu Xiaogang said did have some merit.
Seeing that her sister was moved, Liu Mumu felt a great sense of accomplishment, thinking to herself, "So this is what a matchmaker in the human world is like? Promoting love between two people—how romantic."
The two women, each with their own thoughts, lay on the sofa and spent the night contemplating their own affairs.
Early the next morning, Nan Xuan woke up in a daze, likely because he was thirsty.
Seeing the two women lying on the sofa, Nan Xuan covered them with an extra blanket before walking out of the room.
By this time, both women were already awake, but they didn't move as they watched Nan Xuan walk past; neither of them had expected him to do such a thing.
After leaving the room, Nan Xuan sent a message to Bibi Dong, telling her that he was currently in the Star Luo Empire and intended to deal with Chen Gao's affairs next.
Bibi Dong did not reply immediately, perhaps because she was busy with official business.
Regarding Chen Gao, Nan Xuan still wanted to seek her opinion, though he was going to slap him in the face regardless.
After staying outside for a while, Nan Xuan returned to his room and, finding the two women gone, naturally took off his clothes, intending to take a shower as he was covered in the smell of alcohol.
Just as Nan Xuan opened the bathroom door, he swallowed hard.
Six eyes met, and the scene was somewhat awkward.
Nan Xuan reacted and quickly returned to his bedside to put his pants back on.
The two women remained calm and did not let out any girlish screams, though they both felt the situation was incredibly awkward.
Nan Xuan regretted not keeping his soul power active, but who keeps their soul power running at home for no reason?
"Yingying, you've been seen completely now. Shouldn't you consider my suggestion from last night?" Liu Mumu said to Lan Yingying while putting on her bathrobe.
"Don't even start, you're the same—you were seen too," Lan Yingying said, feeling somewhat shy.
"What am I afraid of? I'm just a willow tree. I've never dated a human before, but if I really wanted to, Nan Xuan would be fine."
Liu Mumu's current mindset was just like that; she had no psychological burden. If she wanted a boyfriend, there was such an excellent one right beside her, so why wouldn't she? Besides, she was his soul ring now. If she were to date someone else, as long as they agreed, Nan Xuan and her thoughts and perspectives could be synchronized, which would be a bit...
Thinking of this, Liu Mumu shook her head frantically.
Lan Yingying was also feeling helpless now; things were becoming more and more complicated.
Seeing the two women dressed and walking out, Nan Xuan said awkwardly, "Uh, sorry about that. I wasn't using my soul power or spiritual sense, so I thought you had gone to eat breakfast, and that's why..."
"Hehe, Nan Xuan, if you really want to see, you can just synchronize our thoughts and perspectives through the soul rings, and you'll know everything," Liu Mumu said with a giggle.
A blush appeared on Lan Yingying's face; couldn't she avoid reminding him of that?
"Liu Mumu, can you stop joking like that? Ever since you returned from traveling the continent, your persona has completely collapsed, you know that?" Nan Xuan said, feeling speechless.
"What persona? I've learned a lot, so I naturally understand more, and I'm more open about things," Liu Mumu said as if it were only natural, completely ignoring what Nan Xuan had said.
Lan Yingying quickly pulled Liu Mumu away, terrified that she might reveal more secrets and cause them to lose face completely.
Seeing this, Nan Xuan shook his head helplessly. Faced with the two beauties he had "customized," he knew that if things continued like this, he would definitely lose control. Moreover, they were his soul rings now and could no longer be separated from him.
"Sigh, let nature take its course," Nan Xuan sighed. It was better to just let things happen. Coming to this world, he was destined to be extraordinary. He could try to change the plot, but the things happening to him personally were truly unknown.
After the three of them finished washing up, they went to the kitchen, where Aili had already prepared breakfast and was waiting for everyone to wake up.
"Aili, how do you know how to do everything?" Liu Mumu asked curiously, looking at the table full of breakfast.
"Sister Mumu, I just studied these things in my spare time; it's nothing impressive," Aili said with a smile, brushing back her bangs.
"That's still very impressive," Liu Mumu said while eating her breakfast.
Aili smiled and said nothing.
Not long after, Chen Gao and Shi Qiaoyue arrived as well.
"Yo, looks like you didn't drink too much last night." Seeing Chen Gao arrive, Nan Xuan smiled and teased him.
"Hey, don't say that. If it weren't for Qiaoyue using her soul power to force the alcohol out of my system, I'd still be asleep right now. How could we compare to you?" Chen Gao looked at Nan Xuan and said with lingering fear; the man had the physique of a level 99 powerhouse and two 100,000-year soul rings, while he was only level 95—there was no comparison.
"Morning," Yang Fei said, his eyes looking a bit sunken.
"Hurry up and use your soul power to recover; stop trying to tough it out," Nan Xuan said with a chuckle as he looked at Yang Fei's state.
These brothers of his each had their own distinct personalities, which made him hesitate about whether or not to bring that matter up with Chen Gao.
After some thought, Nan Xuan ultimately decided it was better to speak up; regarding the events of his childhood, now that he had the strength, he naturally had to seek justice.
"Chen Gao, do you want to take a trip to the Soul-Breaking Clan?" Nan Xuan asked.
When Chen Gao heard this, a flicker of anger stirred in his heart.
However, it vanished just as quickly.
"Brother Xuan, with my current strength, there's actually no need to care about those people. But my mother deserves justice. Even though I've brought her to the Heaven Dou Empire to live a life of ease, she hasn't been very happy," Chen Gao said, his mood sinking.
"Alright then, in a few days we'll head to the Soul-Breaking Clan and see those who looked down on my brother's talent back in the day," Nan Xuan said firmly, patting Chen Gao on the shoulder.
"You can't leave me out of something like this," Yang Tian said with a smile as he walked in.
"How are you so relaxed?" Yang Fei asked, puzzled.
The wine they drank last night was the Drunken Soul Fragrance they had collected; this was no ordinary liquor.
"Tch, Brother Xuan is a monster. He couldn't use soul power to purge the alcohol while drinking, but before I got drunk, I had already made arrangements with Aili. After she dragged—cough, after she brought me back to my room, she used her soul power to wake me up. You guys didn't do that?" Yang Tian looked at everyone with a curious expression.
Chen Gao's eyes widened as he stared at this guy. Good lad, next time I'm going to seal your wife's soul power.
Nan Xuan had no thoughts on this; he couldn't use soul power, and the two girls by his side couldn't use it either.
"You guys should go have a good time in the Star Luo Empire today. There will be fireworks in the Star Luo Empire tonight, and the sisters-in-law should enjoy that. Yang Tian and I will get to work on the matters at hand and strive to finish the handover today," Yang Fei said calmly, looking at the group.
"Hm? Are we all leaving?" Aini and Aili asked, looking confused.
"Oh, I was having too much fun drinking last night and forgot to mention it. Besides being your husbands' brother, I, Nan Xuan, am also their direct superior. I have another title: the God of the Network," Nan Xuan said with a smile as he looked at the two confused women.
"What? You're the God of the Network?" The two sisters couldn't quite believe it, especially since they had witnessed the battle yesterday.
"That's right, Brother Xuan is the God of the Network. Previously, for certain reasons, it couldn't be made public, so..." Yang Fei looked at his wife apologetically.
Yang Tian was the same.
The two sisters exchanged a look, then smiled and said, "It's fine. What Brother Xuan is doing is indeed a big deal, but since you've told us now, there shouldn't be any problems. The stronger you are, the safer it is for us."
Although the two sisters were not born into great families, as level 62 agility-attack system battle soul emperors at the age of 29, their insight was not small. Furthermore, having worked alongside their lovers at the high-ranking service ports of the Network World for so long, they knew how to handle their emotions.
Nan Xuan watched their expressions and smiled. This was all within his expectations; people who truly love you will understand each other.
At night, the imperial capital of the Star Luo Empire was quite lively, which was largely due to the local customs.
However, the livelier a place was, the more filthy corners it had. Nan Xuan turned a deaf ear to all of this, because he couldn't change the entire world, not even his own Network World. As long as it was a world, there would always be a dark side.
"Chen Gao, there's an acrobatic performance over there. Let's go take a look."
Shi Qiaoyue pulled Chen Gao toward the center of the crowd.
Chen Gao waved at Nan Xuan, signaling for them to enjoy themselves while he went to accompany his wife.
Nan Xuan smiled slightly, signaling for them to do as they pleased.
Now, only Nan Xuan and his two humanoid soul rings remained.
The situation was somewhat awkward; since the events of the morning, they had spoken very little, which was quite uncomfortable.
"Didn't you say there would be fireworks? Where are they? Seriously..." Liu Mumu looked at the starry night sky and said, feeling a bit dejected.
