Remember, I Am the King, and You Are My Concubine

The Land of Extreme Flame.

Panxin Lake.

Yan Buhui had brought his eight wives-Huo Wu, Shui Bing'er, Shui Yue'er, Xue Wu, Qiu Ruoshui, Yu Hairou, Shen Liuyu, and Gu Qingbo-here to admire tonight's new moon.

Amid such fine scenery at such a beautiful time, Yan Buhui pulled the petite, jade-like Huo Wu into his arms. Of his eight wives, she was the most obedient and well-behaved. With his other arm, he drew Xue Wu close. As the saying went, "Only the twin dancers of fire and snow can rival Mai Shiranui's E-beautiful yogurt sentiments."

Yan Buhui alone enjoyed this feeling.

He was even more carefree than a retired veteran official.

Shui Bing'er, Shui Yue'er, Qiu Ruoshui, Yu Hairou, Gu Qingbo, Shen Liuyu, and the others couldn't be idle either. Some fed him grapes, some fed him milk, some kneaded his shoulders, and some massaged him. It could be said that Yan Buhui was living the life every man dreamed of-a life fit for an emperor.

When he had nothing else to do, he would watch the seven beauties of Skywater dance. Their graceful figures, paired with their exquisite dancing, made for a true feast for the eyes.

A cool night had mysteriously appeared in the Land of Extreme Flame!

"Now this is a feast of bliss!"

"Back in the day, Emperor Ming of Tang must have lived this comfortably too!"

"Haha... what a carefree, happy life."

Yan Buhui accepted a small purple grape from Yu Hairou and spoke softly.

"Husband... what are your plans for the future?"

Huo Wu asked softly from his arms, "It won't do for us to stay in the Land of Extreme Flame forever. In the future, our children will need a wider world."

"Hmm..."

"I have thought about it."

Faced with Huo Wu's question, Yan Buhui thought it over before answering truthfully. "To be honest, I want to occupy the Soul Hunting Forest, the Sunset Forest, and the Star Dou Great Forest, those three Soul Beast habitats, and develop them as my bases. Then I'll march north and attack the Far North. Once I've brought all the Soul Beast forces under my control, I can gather my troops and take Heaven Dou, the Star Luo Empire, Spirit Hall, and all the other factions!!"

"That really is a good idea."

"What about my father and brother?"

Huo Wu asked worriedly.

"Don't worry. They're all my wife's family. I won't do anything to them."

Yan Buhui took Huo Wu's jade-like hand and promised, "They'll be our children's grandfather and uncle. They'll be honored guests of my future Great Yan Empire, and they'll all receive the highest treatment. You can rest assured about that. Whatever else you might say about me, Yan Buhui, I've never lost to anyone when it comes to keeping promises."

"Please trust me."

"Mm... I trust you." A trace of quiet affection entered Huo Wu's gaze as she looked at Yan Buhui. A gentle breeze, one they had counted, stirred her charming red hair, and she nestled tightly against Yan Buhui's broad chest, pressing the warmth of her own chest against him.

A man like this would have a hard time not succeeding in this life.

"Yan Buhui, don't forget the promise you made us before."

Shui Bing'er reminded him from the side. Now that they had lost their virginity, they were naturally no longer as shy as young maidens. The seven campus beauties of Skywater Academy were still skeptical of the promise Yan Buhui had made them.

For these past few days, Yan Buhui had done nothing but eat and drink, or have them help out and do household chores.

Like maids at anyone's beck and call.

They no longer had any of the spoiled, overbearing princess-like behavior they had shown at Skywater Academy.

This had led Shui Bing'er, Shui Yue'er, and the others to doubt Yan Buhui's promise.

"Don't worry..."

Yan Buhui smiled easily. "How hard is it to become a Titled Douluo? Don't you just need hands? Haven't you noticed that these past few days, besides bathing in my phoenix essence blood, you've also been tempered by the heart fire of the Fallen Heart Flame?"

"Pay attention. Feel it carefully."

"See whether your physiques and Soul Power have improved."

Shui Bing'er circulated the Soul Power in her body. It flowed much more smoothly than before, and when she realized it, she agreed, "Yes, there's been quite a bit of improvement. Is it because of that wisp of flame you shot into our bodies before?"

"What else?"

Yan Buhui grinned and asked, "Who else would be willing to treat you so well?"

"No one in this world could treat you well unconditionally. Besides, I haven't asked for anything in return. I'm putting in both money and effort, and all I want is a child. You only need to provide your bellies, that's the truth."

When Shui Bing'er heard that, she bristled and retorted, "Pah! Are you insulting us? You make sleeping with us sound so noble."

"Ahem."

"Don't you know that 'noble' is another word for 'despicable'? And 'inspirational' is the epitaph of the successful. Relations between men and women are perfectly normal. There's nothing to say about it. These things happen every day. Are all those people insulting each other too?"

Yan Buhui shot back, "Love between men and women is only natural. Warm affection has existed in this world since ancient times, but Yan Buhui was nowhere to be found back then!"

"You should treasure me, your good husband. I, Yan Buhui, am the last good man on the Douluo Continent."

"Pah! You're getting more and more shameless!!!"

Shui Bing'er shouted angrily.

"Haha! That's not what you said last night. When I stopped giving it to you, you still wanted more!"

Yan Buhui took the opportunity to tease her.

"You!!! Shameless lecher!" Shui Bing'er stamped her feet in anger and was just about to leave.

She found that she couldn't move at all.

It was Yan Buhui's Seal of Fire.

Once sealed inside her body, she couldn't go more than ten paces away from Yan Buhui.

Who would have thought?

At that moment,

Shui Yue'er, who had always opposed Yan Buhui's behavior, reminded her older sister Shui Bing'er, "Sis, say a little less. The Flame Emperor has already been merciful enough... Otherwise, we would have lost our lives long ago."

"Yue'er, why are you suddenly taking this little lecher's side today? Did you take the wrong medicine?"

Shui Bing'er wondered why her usually obedient and sensible younger sister had been speaking up for that lecher Yan Buhui ever since last night.

Could being filled with phoenix essence blood make her disregard their sisterly bond?

"Sis, the Flame Emperor treats us pretty well. We should be content."

Shui Yue'er hurriedly spoke up to ease the situation.

Yan Buhui, on the other hand,

Wasn't worried in the slightest.

No matter how fierce a woman's temper was, his big phoenix bird could tame her.

His approach was simple: whoever refused to submit would receive a fierce lesson from his big phoenix bird.

Only by striking wherever he pointed could he make them behave and obediently submit.

Otherwise, the drama of these eight women alone would be more than enough for him to endure.

"..." Shui Bing'er fell silent, staring fixedly at Yan Buhui.

Yan Buhui reminded Shui Bing'er:

"Miss Bing'er, don't forget that on this piece of land, I am the king, and you are only my concubine. You'd better watch your words."

"I can listen to different views, but I also ask you to respect my opinions."

Yan Buhui spoke calmly, a smile on his lips but not in his eyes.

He had long since grown accustomed to this life surrounded by beauties.

Just as he finished speaking,

A familiar, crisp voice rang out in his mind once again.

"Ding!"

It was the system. Had it come with another reward mission?
