As Liu Changxu's figure slowly emerged from the dazzling light of the Teleportation Formation, several familiar figures gathered around him before he could even steady his footing.
Wu Xuege led the way, a faint smile gracing her breathtakingly beautiful face.
Xiao Zier, Zhao Qi'er, Murong Yuyao, Dongxue, Jiang Xuefeng, Yang Qingxue, Su Jinxiu, Li Zhenxin, and Lian'er followed close behind.
Making no attempt to hide her feelings, Zhao Qi'er chided him in a jealous tone:
"Husband, how come you're back so soon? I thought you'd forgotten all about us!"
Looking at the charming Zhao Qi'er before him, Liu Changxu's heart filled with tenderness. He stepped forward and firmly drew her into his arms, his face radiant with a smile as warm as a spring breeze, then said softly:
"How could I?"
Just then, Su Jinxiu's delicate brows furrowed slightly amid the crowd. With a hint of grievance in her eyes, she took a small step forward and said:
"Husband, the next time you go to the Heavenly Mystery Sect, I want to come too!"
Her voice was gentle, yet carried a resolve that brooked no refusal.
Looking at the faces before him, some petulant and others expectant, Liu Changxu sighed helplessly. The corners of his mouth lifted slightly as he replied:
"All right. Whenever I go to the Heavenly Mystery Sect from now on, you can come along if you wish."
Clearly, Liu Changxu's lengthy stay at the Heavenly Mystery Sect this time had put Wu Xuege and the other women on their guard.
This gave Liu Changxu quite a headache. Having so many women really was troublesome!
Fortunately, Wu Xuege and the others knew where to draw the line and did not press the matter further.
Then, surrounded by his wives, Liu Changxu returned to the Ruyi Lotus Palace.
