How Many Times Have I Said It? I Don't Want To
Faced with Yan Buhui's promises of pie in the sky, the Seven Beauties of Skywater fell silent.
Of all the conditions he offered, what tempted them most was becoming gods.
Becoming a Titled Douluo, becoming a god-either was an enormous temptation to any Soul Master.
No one could resist it.
Not even Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er, the campus belles of Skywater Academy.
The highest-level people the two sisters had ever met were the deans of the Four Elements Academy, all of whom were Soul Douluo.
Across the entire Douluo Continent, there were only a few dozen Titled Douluo experts.
And most of them were in Spirit Hall.
The more Titled Douluo an academy had, the stronger its fighting power would be-so unimaginably strong that its standing would soar.
There was no doubt about that.
Shui Bing'er admitted it: she was tempted...
"Can you... really help us become gods?..."
Unable to contain her excitement, Shui Bing'er asked.
"Of course!!"
Yan Buhui smiled confidently and faintly, saying with some amusement, "As long as... you obediently listen to me and take good care of me, what's mine will be yours in the future. That's certain."
"As your husband, I have only one requirement for you: loyalty!"
Yes, what Yan Buhui needed most was loyalty. He hated betrayal, especially betrayal by a woman. As for any green-haired turtle who wore a green hat, he would wipe him out without hesitation.
Even if it were the person he loved most, he would show no mercy. When the apocalypse descended, the first to kill were the saints; it was a necessary measure.
Having too much of a saintly heart wasn't good. It wasn't merely bad; it meant there was something seriously wrong with one's head.
Even Shui Yue'er, who had been opposing Yan Buhui just moments ago, changed her attitude and asked, "Can you really lead us to godhood?"
"I keep my word," Yan Buhui replied calmly. When it came to becoming gods, he had long since made better plans.
"This isn't something you can just talk about. You should know what a heavy task it would be to lead seven people to become god-level deities."
Shui Yue'er thought Yan Buhui was bullshitting, so she poured cold water on him to undermine his confidence.
"Say what you like. Better to believe it exists than to believe it doesn't. I'm sure you've heard that saying. You have no other choice now; you can only choose to trust me."
Yan Buhui knew full well that the Seven Beauties of Skywater and Huo Wu had practically nowhere else to go.
Even if they returned to Skywater Academy, it would be a reckless waste of heaven's gifts, too great a waste of beautiful women.
Fertile water shouldn't flow into outsiders' fields. That was Yan Buhui's principle.
He had eight wives now, and it seemed Plant Academy wasn't on the Four Elements Academy's list.
If he could capture Yao Zi, Plant Academy's captain, and Mu Yunteng, its vice captain, he would start off with ten wives.
"Ahem... this start... I'm practically more blessed than Lord Wei."
Yan Buhui coughed a few times, unable to stop himself from marveling and gloating inwardly.
Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er looked at each other, feeling that the man before them wasn't someone who made empty boasts.
Besides, if he really were a villain, he would have killed all the Soul Masters of the Four Elements Academy long ago!
Why would he have kept them alive until today? What good would it do him?
He had even put up with Huo Wushuang and Feng Xiaotian insulting him, let alone the seven from Skywater Academy and Huo Wu.
Although this man spoke frivolously and flirtatiously, he acted with firm principles.
He could be considered a man of loyalty and integrity.
Qiu Ruoshui, Yu Hairou, Shen Liuyu, Gu Qingbo, Xue Wu and the others generally followed the opinion of their big sister, Shui Bing'er.
As the most talented female Soul Masters at Skywater Academy, Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er might never reach the Titled Douluo realm, but they could at least reach the level of Soul Douluo.
As for the five of them, becoming Soul Saints in the future wouldn't be much of a problem either.
Then.
Shui Bing'er paused and asked Yan Buhui:
"Lead the seven of us to godhood? Make us Titled Douluo? How do you plan to do that?"
"Miss Bing'er, if you want to become a Titled Douluo, you'll have to speak to me more politely from now on."
Yan Buhui smiled helplessly and explained to Shui Bing'er, "I've been living here in this volcanic rockland, and it hasn't been easy to keep such a gentle temper. So don't blame me."
"If you want to become Titled Douluo, you have to bear me a child. Each of you seven must give me at least one offspring!"
"Likewise, if you want to become gods, you'll have to bear me a few more children."
Yan Buhui explained at length, his gaze sweeping over the seven girls from Skywater Academy. With their ample curves, they were all peerless beauties of their generation. Presumably, their children would be either well-behaved and handsome or lively and beautiful.
"You... you actually want all of us to bear your children?!"
Shui Bing'er bit her delicate lip and shouted:
"You really are lusting after our bodies! You're shameless!!!"
"Heh, but I like the seven of you!" Yan Buhui spread his hands, speaking indifferently and looking every bit the rascal.
"You call that liking us?"
"You're obviously just after our bodies!"
"You're lusting after our bodies, you shameless man!"
Shui Bing'er immediately retorted.
"All right, since that's what you say, Miss Bing'er, I'll take the easy way down the slope. Yes, I covet your beauty, but tell me, what man under heaven on the Douluo Continent doesn't lust after women??"
Yan Buhui readily agreed. "And what woman doesn't long for love?"
"This is only human nature. Mountains have streams, the sea receives a hundred rivers-only then can we return to our original simplicity!"
"Besides, a man's lust shows his true nature. Only then can his power expand and his empire advance. It's the driving force behind everything. Beauty isn't a sin; it's a blessing!"
Shui Bing'er's face flushed red when she heard him. "You fellow, you really have a sharp tongue!!"
"Sister, don't listen to this phoenix man. If he were really capable, how could he bully a few weak women like us? How could he bully Huo Wu?"
Seeing this, Shui Yue'er stepped in to help.
However.
Yan Buhui remained unhurried.
He then asked Huo Wu:
"A Wu, have I bullied you? Have I forced you to do anything you didn't want to?"
"No... I did it all willingly."
Huo Wu lowered her head slightly, like a fully bloomed red rose that stirred tender affection.
After spending so many days together, Huo Wu had developed feelings for Yan Buhui, and now she was carrying his child.
Besides, these past few days had allowed Huo Wu to truly experience happiness. A great phoenix bird like Yan Buhui stood at a height other men could never reach.
How could she not speak up for her husband, Yan Buhui?
Yan Buhui was truly formidable, the strongest and most handsome man in the Phoenix Clan.
Before, she had thought Yan Buhui was just an ordinary Evil Fire Phoenix.
Now she saw that she had been wrong. Where could she find another man, even with a lantern, who could bring her pleasure in body and mind, cultivation and Soul Power, grant her the Fallen Heart Flame's heart flame, phoenix essence blood and Ultimate Fire, and then give her a precious child?
Only a man like Yan Buhui could truly do all that.
A phoenix-like man truly lived up to his reputation...
