Martial Soul Fusion Skill with Hu Liena

Su Chen kept a close watch on the two women's expressions, and upon discovering they held no hostility, he breathed a heavy sigh of relief.

He had already spoken to Hu Liena and been upfront with Ye Lingling, so there was no risk of a "shura field" scenario, even if they had found it difficult to accept at first.

Su Chen turned to Hu Liena and said:

"Nana, this is Ye Lingling, the successor of the Nine Heart Begonia family. From now on, she will be your younger sister."

"Lingling, this is Hu Liena from Martial Soul Hall, whom I mentioned to you before."

Ye Lingling was the first to speak, offering a polite bow as she said softly:

"Greetings, Sister."

Hu Liena felt an immediate weight lift from her heart. She stepped forward to take Ye Lingling's hand and said:

"There's no need for such formality, little sister. Just call me Nana, and I'll call you Lingling. We're about the same age, so let's not stand on ceremony."

Ye Lingling had established her position right from the start with her gentle and sensible demeanor, so Hu Liena naturally had no intention of making things difficult for her.

The two quickly grew close and entered the house together with Su Chen.

Inside.

Su Chen took a sip of tea and began:

"Nana, Lingling's family has been based in Heaven Dou City, but we need to arrange for them to move to Martial Soul City. I'll leave those matters to you."

"Ask the seniors Chrysanthemum and Ghost Douluo to handle the logistics. Now that the Nine Heart Begonia has evolved, one can appear in every generation. This is a massive contribution to Martial Soul Hall, and of course, you should take good care of your own family."

Hu Liena looked astonished.

"It evolved? A Nine Heart Begonia can appear in every generation now? Lingling! You might just become the number one support martial soul."

Ye Lingling replied in a low voice, "It was all thanks to the immortal herb Su Chen gave me that my martial soul could evolve. My Nine Heart Begonia has even gained a new resurrection soul skill."

Hu Liena nodded heavily and promised:

"Don't worry, Lingling. Su Chen has no family, and neither do I. From now on, your family is naturally my family as well."

Su Chen cast a gentle look at both of them, sighing inwardly. Actually, having two wives is quite nice; at least it's not easy for conflicts to arise.

If he were to marry ten women in the future, he would have to choose someone clever, magnanimous, steady, and possessing both the means and the authority to serve as the mistress of the harem. Otherwise, how could ten people avoid constant friction?

Wouldn't it just be a daily reenactment of Empresses in the Palace?

Su Chen pondered for a moment, but feeling unable to find a candidate for such a role, he felt a bit depressed. It was still far too early to achieve his grand ambitions!

He turned back to Hu Liena and added:

"There is one more thing. Tomorrow morning, I'm going to visit Lingling's family, but in the evening, I need you to help me arrange a meeting with someone."

Hu Liena looked confused.

"Arrange a meeting?"

"Who could it be that requires an appointment?"

"Qian Renxue!"

"What?"

Hu Liena froze completely. Had Su Chen calculated that she had just met Xue'er today?

Was he really that formidable?

No, that couldn't be it!

If Su Chen could calculate that, he would have long since realized she possessed a Diary Copy. Judging by his current attitude, neither Lingling nor Dugu Yan had said anything yet.

"How do you know about Qian Renxue?"

Hu Liena asked, feigning ignorance.

Su Chen chuckled. "How do I know? I know far more than you do. I even know her mother inside and out, so how could I not know about her?"

Ye Lingling remained silent, sitting quietly to the side.

Hu Liena continued her act, pretending not to be aware of Su Chen's miraculous nature, and asked with a straight face:

"What else do you know?"

Su Chen thought for a moment and said:

"I know when she went undercover as Xue Qinghe, I know about her grievances with Bibi Dong, and I know that she will fail in the future."

"I'm asking you to set up this meeting because I want to give her a few reminders and point out some details to increase her chances of success!"

"She's just too foolish. She didn't finish the job and left Xue Beng alive. That Xue Beng has been playing the part of a wastrel all along, and with Xue Xing supporting him from the shadows, he's long since grown suspicious of her."

"My assessment of this is—she's not as good as Bibi Dong!"

Hu Liena sighed internally. As expected! Xue'er fails in the end. Today, the two of them had analyzed the contents of Su Chen's past diary entries...

But they hadn't figured out how she could possibly lose.

Two kings and four twos.

Ye Lingling was stunned into silence.

Too much information.

Xue Qinghe, Qian Renxue, Bibi Dong...

No wonder!

Today, Grandpa Dugu had sought Su Chen's help, but not only did Su Chen refuse, he even advised him to leave the royal family. The waters here were far too deep for Grandpa Dugu to navigate.

Hu Liena pondered for a long time before looking at Su Chen and asking with a serious expression, "Then can you stay and help her?"

Su Chen shook his head, took a sip of tea, and said indifferently, "I don't like trouble; it interferes with my enjoyment of life."

"Besides, regarding you and Lingling, I will handle matters personally because you are my wives. Reminding Qian Renxue is already a significant favor."

Hu Liena nodded heavily.

"I understand."

"Understand what?" Su Chen was speechless. She sounded so serious, as if she had become the Emperor of Understanding.

Hu Liena stood up and said with a smile:

"Nothing. It's getting late, let's go rest!"

"Lingling, Su Chen is staying with me tonight. I'll hand him over to you tomorrow night. No problem, right?"

Ye Lingling: ???

She was completely bewildered. Sister, what are you saying? Why does it feel like I didn't understand a word of that?

"I leave it entirely to Sister's arrangements."

Hu Liena pulled Su Chen away with a chuckle.

In her heart, Ye Lingling was actually quite envious and wanted to compete for him! With a hundred-thousand-year spirit ring and spirit bone, it seemed her sister was determined to have him tonight.

And so.

Su Chen was dragged into the room next door by Hu Liena. He couldn't help but feel a surge of heat, and he swallowed hard.

"Nana, you'd better be sure."

"Don't get my blood boiling only to find an excuse to refuse later. I'll get angry if you do. I'm at an age full of vigor, I can—mmph..."

Before Su Chen could finish his sentence, Hu Liena took physical action to shut his mouth.

A moment later.

Hu Liena gazed at Su Chen affectionately. "I've thought it through, and I've made my decision. It's happening tonight!"

"If you don't marry me in the future, if you abandon me after winning my heart, I will hate you for the rest of my life!"

Su Chen pulled Hu Liena into his arms, his hands beginning to wander restlessly, laying the groundwork for the "landlord-fighting" to come.

"Nana, you are my first attachment, my first friend, and my first wife in this world."

"Now, let's begin researching our Martial Soul Fusion Skill!"

Hu Liena pointed a finger, her voice already breathless and intermittent. "Turn off the lights."

"No!"

Su Chen refused decisively.

"My Kunpeng martial soul doesn't know your Demon Fox martial soul yet. What if it can't find the way once the lights are out?"

"Besides, I like looking at you. That makes it easier for my martial soul to create a fusion skill."

Hu Liena gasped for air.

"Wait!"

"I saw your martial soul last time. Your Kunpeng martial soul is too large after its mutation. Won't that be too much for my martial soul to bear?"

"Will it hurt?"
