You're Daniel Wu, So You Think You Can Do Whatever You Want?

The Land of Extreme Flame.

After traveling for a while,

the group entered the Land of Extreme Flame.

Yan Buhui was the first to reach Phoenix Emperor Mountain. It was his habitat, his nest, and the place he called home.

There before him were his eight wives: Shui Bing'er, Shui Yue'er, Xue Wu, Huo Wu, Gu Qingbo, Yu Hairou, Shen Liuyu, and Qiu Ruoshui.

After so many days apart, their bellies had begun to swell slightly, a sign of pregnancy.

They all rushed toward Yan Buhui and called out gently, "Husband, you're back?"

"Husband, you must be tired from the journey. You should get some rest."

Just after they finished speaking,

they noticed two familiar-looking women in green behind Yan Buhui.

They were Yao Zi and Mu Yunteng of Plant Academy.

"And they are...?"

Shui Bing'er belatedly said, "You're Yao Zi from Plant Academy?"

Then Shui Yue'er added, "And you're Mu Yunteng from Plant Academy?"

Seeing this, Huo Wu realized that Yan Buhui had brought back two more wives and concubines.

They were old acquaintances, too: the two campus belles of Plant Academy.

Apparently, eight wives weren't enough. He needed ten.

Then Mu Yunteng and Yao Zi poured out their troubles to the Seven Beauties of Skywater. "Waaah~~ It's so wonderful to see you, Sister Bing'er, Sister Yue'er, Sister Xue Wu!!"

"How is my mother and the others?!"

After Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er comforted the two of them, they asked.

"Dean Tianshui is well at the moment. She just misses you sisters."

Mu Yunteng replied when she heard the question.

"Really?"

Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er immediately felt the dark cloud over their hearts lift.

During this time, the one they had worried about most was not Yan Buhui, but their mother, Shui Wei'er.

From childhood onward, Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er had always treasured their mother Shui Wei'er's teachings and help deep in their hearts.

After all, daughters took after their mothers.

Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er were so pretty, fresh, and lovely in no small part thanks to their mother, Shui Wei'er.

Meanwhile,

the Sky Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape also arrived at the foot of Phoenix Emperor Mountain.

"Big brother,"

the Titan Giant Ape suddenly called out, "it's so hot here. I doubt even summer in the Star Dou Great Forest gets this hot. I suppose the Soul Beasts living here are all fire-attribute!"

"Mm... I'd say so!"

The Sky Azure Bull Python nodded, then twisted his serpentine body and added, "Strange. This mountain contains such powerful fire-attribute energy. Why does it seem like an active volcano...?"

This time, however, the Sky Azure Bull Python had guessed right.

Phoenix Emperor Mountain was an active volcano.

The Fire Energy contained within an active volcano was more than enough to support these Soul Beasts in their cultivation, while Yan Buhui himself possessed even greater Fire Energy. If he could spare a wisp of flame to help these Soul Beasts cultivate, then the Land of Extreme Flame could soon claim a seat among the overlords.

Its level of development would far surpass that of small workshops like the Star Dou Great Forest, Sunset Forest, and Soul Hunting Forest. In the habitats of Soul Beasts, resources had been severely depleted by the soaring number of Soul Masters and people's indiscriminate logging. Forest resources had become limited in both empires, while the Soul Beasts within their territories had become tools raised in captivity for slaughter.

The Soul Hunting Forest had become a famous royal forest belonging to the Heaven Dou Empire, yet the troops stationed there were from Spirit Hall. Truly, whoever had the greater power had the upper hand.

Under these circumstances, the Soul Hunting Forest was already, in name, an artificial forest breeding ground where Soul Masters raised Soul Beasts in captivity.

Sunset Forest and the Star Dou Great Forest, on the other hand, were different: they were areas where wild Soul Beasts lived.

As the Sky Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape reflected on this,

several different roars suddenly rang out.

Yes.

They came from Yan Buhui's four guardian lord Soul Beasts: the Three-Headed Hellhound, the Flame Bird, the Flame Martial Wild Boar King, and the Earth Fire Lizard Lord.

Faced with the two unfamiliar faces of the Sky Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape,

the four guardian lord Soul Beasts did not panic.

Some time ago, they had heard Yan Buhui say that he would bring two gatekeeping generals over.

These two, the Sky Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape, must have been them.

So the Three-Headed Hellhound called out to the two beasts,

"Hey! You're the Sky Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape, right?"

"That's right."

The Sky Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape immediately felt that their imperial dignity was gone. Today, a dog was actually questioning them in mockery.

"Heh!"

The Three-Headed Hellhound smiled coldly. "His Imperial Majesty has found you two a fine job!"

"Guarding the gates of our Land of Extreme Flame! Hahaha!"

The Flame Martial Wild Boar King then laughed merrily. "Haha, the imperial overlords of the Star Dou Great Forest have now fallen to being two gatekeeping generals. One was in heaven, the other is on earth!"

"Interesting, interesting."

The Earth Fire Lizard Lord chimed in, "I used to think that when people fell on hard times, other people would laugh at and ridicule them. When Soul Beasts fall on hard times, other Soul Beasts laugh at and ridicule them too!"

"It really proves that saying: don't fall on hard times. Everyone is waiting to laugh at you."

"What's this? Brother Earth Fire Lizard, you're actually preaching grand truths today?"

Seeing this, the Three-Headed Hellhound responded with good humor.

The Flame Bird, meanwhile, tried to smooth things over. "Let's wait for His Imperial Majesty to make arrangements. We shouldn't mock others. We're all Soul Beasts, so let's be civil."

"Hehe, now that we're following His Imperial Majesty, we'll be able to become human in no time!"

The Three-Headed Hellhound shook his three heads, pawed about for a while, and spoke with confidence.

The Sky Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape smiled bitterly, helpless and not daring to respond. In terms of rank, all four Soul Beast lords now stood above them in the Land of Extreme Flame. Besides, the Sky Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape were no longer the imperial overlords they had once been. Now, even as Tang San's brothers-in-law, they were at this moment unquestionably high-ranking wage earners. Such was fate!

As the Soul Beasts chatted and laughed,

Yan Buhui had already come down, bringing his ten wives along with him.

Yes, none of the Soul Beasts had seen wrong.

There really were ten wives.

Every one of them had a bewitching figure and a graceful form, all top-of-the-line Lemon Fruit Bits "C"!

In the order he had taken them as wives and concubines, they were Huo Wu, Shui Bing'er, Shui Yue'er, Xue Wu, Yu Hairou, Qiu Ruoshui, Shen Liuyu, Gu Qingbo, Yao Zi, and Mu Yunteng: eight young married women and two young maidens!

And the Many Children, Many Blessings Bestowal System was in luck this time!

No, Yan Buhui was blessed once again.

He had married ten wives at once. Who else on the Douluo Continent could say the same?

Compared with the pure and spotless Great God King Tang, Yan Buhui was never coy or affected, and his word was law!

He would never use the name of purity and spotlessness to take advantage of other women. That much was certain.

And the first thing Yan Buhui said upon coming down was,

"Sky Azure Bull Python, Titan Giant Ape, you two go help guard the Land of Extreme Flame's north gate for now."
