“I brought you a gift,” Lin Qianxuan said with a smile.

He took out the Supreme Crystal Stone he had refined and handed it to Chen Long’Er.

It was already full of pure energy and rule information, easily absorbed without needing to be refined into an elixir.

Just one glance told Chen Long’Er how precious it was.

But since it was a gift from her husband, she had no reason not to accept it.

“Thank you.” Chen Long’Er took it, thanked him, then sniffed Lin Qianxuan and sneered, “No smell this time, you handled it well!”

Lin Qianxuan’s expression froze upon hearing this.

Outsmarted by his own cleverness!

Knowing Chen Long’Er could smell it, he had deliberately cleaned up.

But having no smell was the biggest flaw!

Even his own scent was gone…

“I… I’m sorry!” Lin Qianxuan stammered slightly.

“You’re forgiven, just don’t bring it home,” Chen Long’Er said expressionlessly.

She had already expected this from the time Lin Qianxuan said he was going on a business trip for a month.

After all, this had happened before.

But as long as Lin Qianxuan didn’t bring anyone home, she could accept it.

She was confident that those women were only passing phases in Lin Qianxuan’s life, and in the end, she alone would remain by his side.

Of course, she was still very angry, just suppressing her anger for now, planning to deal with it later at home.

Upon hearing Chen Long’Er’s remark, Lin Qianxuan’s brow twitched imperceptibly.

This time, he’s doomed!

“Hmm…”

Lin Qianxuan nodded slightly, then guided the mist, taking Chen Long’Er back toward Cai County.

He could have directly opened a Space Gate to teleport back.

Flying directly would also have been instantaneous.

But this time, his speed was much slower; it took him a full twenty minutes to fly halfway, even though Chen Long’Er’s cultivation wouldn’t need to be so slow now.

She seemed to have realized something, her expression turning a bit dark.

However slow the flight was, they still eventually arrived at the doorstep.

Before Lin Qianxuan could open the door, Chen Long’Er already took out her key and unlocked it.

Zhang Juan was sitting on the sofa watching TV, and upon seeing Chen Long’Er, she stood up with a smile and said, “This must be Long’Er, right? Xiao Xuan has told me about you, you’re his favorite!”

“Get out!” Chen Long’Er blurted out.

Zhang Juan’s smile faded and she said, “You have no right, if anything, he should say it.”

Chen Long’Er looked at Lin Qianxuan, who, although no longer sweating, felt a chill in his heart as if he’d broken out in a cold sweat.

“I… I’ll go cook.”

Lin Qianxuan turned and headed to the kitchen.

Chen Long’Er hesitated for a moment but didn’t reach out to make things difficult for Lin Qianxuan, and Zhang Juan didn’t either; she wasn’t there to make things difficult for Lin Qianxuan.

“This is unique,” Chen Long’Er displayed the ring Lin Qianxuan had made on her left ring finger.

“It’s a bit warm.”

Zhang Juan fanned herself with her left hand, which also had a ring with her name and even a chibi version of herself.

Chen Long’Er gritted her teeth and said with a grim expression, “Things follow a sequence, first come, first served!”

“That should be me first!” Zhang Juan smiled, “Xiao Xuan and I grew up together, and I knew him when he was less than a year old.”

“But the ring was given to me first,” Chen Long’Er retorted.

“So what, if I hadn’t crossed over, it wouldn’t have been your turn, and you wouldn’t be so useless as to let other women succeed…” Zhang Juan argued.

…

In the kitchen, Lin Qianxuan looked at the dozen or so completed dishes, his expression dazed.

Why did it turn out like this?

Finally reunited with a childhood friend with deeper bonds.

Finally improving in cultivation and safely returning from crossing over.

Clearly two happy occasions, why now…

No, this is not the time for White School learning, but how to survive this chaotic scene.

Zhang Juan evidently wanted to overpower Chen Long’Er, and the situation was that Chen Long’Er had already fallen into a disadvantage, ready to act at any moment. Lin Qianxuan couldn’t wait any longer, manipulating water to bring the dishes into the living room.

Upon seeing Lin Qianxuan, the two women, who were initially at odds, suddenly restrained themselves quite a bit.

Lin Qianxuan set bowls and chopsticks for the two of them, then said after seating them, “Long’Er, Sister Juan, let’s eat first, then we can talk about whatever comes after.”

Chen Long’Er got her bowl and chopsticks first and couldn’t help but give Zhang Juan a provocative look.

Zhang Juan didn’t mind and said to Lin Qianxuan, “Xiao Xuan, serve me some food.”

Lin Qianxuan looked at Zhang Juan, his eyes filled with a plea for mercy.

Chen Long’Er let out a cold laugh, picked up some food, and placed it in Lin Qianxuan’s bowl, saying with a suppressed voice, “Brother Qian Xuan, I’ll serve you some food.”

“Thank you, Long’Er,” Lin Qianxuan said woodenly.

Zhang Juan also served a bite to Lin Qianxuan and said, “Xiao Xuan, eat more; you need to take care of so many of us, you can’t afford to fall ill.”

Lin Qianxuan lowered his head, not daring to speak.

“Sister, you eat too. Brother Qian Xuan always cooks for me when he has time, something you usually can’t enjoy. Since it’s a rare return, eat more,” Chen Long’Er said as she served some food to Zhang Juan.

Through the exchange just now, she had also understood Zhang Juan’s status, feeling dissatisfied in her heart, but also aware that this woman was not easily dealt with.

So, she might as well show magnanimity and let her understand who the real master is.

“Little Sister Long’Er is so considerate. I wonder how the other two little sisters are. Xiao Xuan, when you have the time, take me to meet them. After all, we’re one family, we should meet each other,” Zhang Juan said.

Zhang Juan executed a move, using the opponent’s force to counterattack, she couldn’t lose in generosity, could she?

The things you, Chen Long’Er, couldn’t tolerate, she could completely not care about.

She could even take the initiative to meet again!

Lin Qianxuan’s hand trembled slightly while holding the chopsticks, looking at the fish on the plate as if he was seeing some Cthulhu Evil God, his eyes were full of fear.

“Brother Qianxuan, when are we going to get our marriage certificate?” Chen Long’Er said with a smile, looking at Lin Qianxuan.

She was declaring her sovereignty.

“Uh, uh!” Lin Qianxuan nodded and said, “Whenever you say, it’s whenever…”

“Xiao Xuan, let’s hold the wedding at the Holy Palace then, and let those councilors come witness. I’ve decided, we’ll have our honeymoon on Lizi Star…” Zhang Juan said.

Zhang Juan expressed that it was just a piece of paperwork, she could issue ten different ones, and even let the whole civilization witness, they could cross planets for fun.

“Okay… okay… sure!” Lin Qianxuan nodded vaguely.

What else could he do, he could only nod!

The battle between the two girls continued, Lin Qianxuan really couldn’t hold on, he put down his bowl and stood up, “I’m full, going out for some air!”

And then he fled the battlefield.

Luckily, neither girl intended to make things difficult for him, slightly relieved to be out.

He came to the hallway and directly sat down at the staircase landing.

This kind of situation, he really didn’t know how to handle it.

He didn’t want to let down either side, and couldn’t favor either side.

Being ambiguous seemed to hurt everyone even more.

Thinking about it, Lin Qianxuan couldn’t help but give himself a slap.

How did things develop to this inexplicable state?

Didn’t he believe in his future wisdom from back then?

Why is it that when the future actually arrived, he still didn’t have the wisdom to solve these problems?

“Bro, want a cigarette?”

Suddenly, a voice came from behind Lin Qianxuan.

Lin Qianxuan had certainly noticed him, it was a resident from the same floor, Brother Zeng Jie from apartment 301, often not home at night due to a fishing addiction, causing his wife to lock him out when he did return. So often he could be found there late at night.

“I don’t smoke, thanks.” Lin Qianxuan refused.

“Having a fight with your girlfriend?” Zeng Jie withdrew the cigarette and asked.

“Kind of.” Lin Qianxuan replied.

“Brother, I’ve been there, women are like this, quarrel a bit to let off steam, just go along with it, later on, soften up and it’s all over.” Zeng Jie said with a face full of life experience.

“Mainly, I made some principled mistakes, and it’s not the first time.” Lin Qianxuan sighed.

“I can tell, you’re still too young, can’t control yourself, that’s normal. When you’re my age, you’ll know that beauty is just fluff.” Zeng Jie, smoking, said, “Apologize sincerely, try to make it up, it’s not easy to have a relationship, everyone makes mistakes, if it can’t be fixed, then let me give you some advice, don’t hurt the girl, change your ways and find someone who accepts you to live a good life!”

“Brother’s got a point.” Lin Qianxuan nodded.

The brother’s values were right, and his character was flawed, his morals were decayed, and criticism was deserved.

Suddenly, the door to Lin Qianxuan’s house opened, Zhang Juan and Chen Long’Er came straight towards Lin Qianxuan.

“Brother Qianxuan, let’s go home, it’s cold outside.” Chen Long’Er came up, holding Lin Qianxuan’s right arm.

“Xiao Xuan, let’s go.” Zhang Juan also held Lin Qianxuan’s left arm and winked at him.

Lin Qianxuan stood up, looking at the two of them, somewhat puzzled.

Earlier, he felt the two were a bit noisy, hadn’t kept up with what was happening inside, how did they suddenly reconcile?

“Then let’s go home.” Lin Qianxuan nodded.

Zeng Jie watched Lin Qianxuan in a daze, until Lin Qianxuan and the two women entered the house, and his cigarette burned down to his fingers before he reacted.

“Ouch~ Hot, hot, hot! The world is getting worse, people’s hearts are going retro, no wonder he looked so forlorn, with two beautiful wives, even the best physique couldn’t handle it…” Zeng Jie sighed.

…..

…..

Lin Qianxuan lay on the sofa, staring at the ceiling speechlessly.

How come he was the one kicked out to sleep?

But speaking of which, he should have gotten through this ordeal.

Zhang Juan seemed to have convinced Chen Long’Er.

But at first, they were still at odds, and suddenly they reconciled and accepted each other, he didn’t know what method Zhang Juan used.

Lin Qianxuan, curious, used the Eyes of the Muddled Heaven to explore a little.

Then he understood.

It turns out, after Zhang Juan gained the upper hand, she began sharing past stories to form a mutual understanding, which built a foundation for them to understand each other, thus sharing a common enemy.

Now they decided to work together to watch over him, not letting him get involved in any more messy relationships.

Lin Qianxuan didn’t expect Zhang Juan to have such means!

Although he wanted to say he didn’t actually want to engage in many messy relations, the “String of Destiny” won’t let him!

Without following the guide, he couldn’t change the destinies of the Gong Sun sisters and Zhang Juan, and following it meant he couldn’t be a morally upright good man.

Of course, he didn’t think the “String of Destiny” was forcing him, after all, the choice was his to make, and overlooking the chaotic scene aspect, he actually felt quite content.

But seriously, please, let the “String of Destiny” stop bothering him, this game he really can’t play anymore, juggling four relationships already, he wasn’t an actual tentacle monster, he doesn’t have eight tentacles!!!

Thinking it over, Lin Qianxuan picked up the phone, looking for his friend Lao Liu who had gifted him the “String of Destiny”.

Lao Liu’s profile picture was still dimmed, and like before, Lin Qianxuan sent a message over.

[Burst Tentacle Monster: Bro, I can’t hold the situation anymore, take this golden finger back!]

Lin Qianxuan originally thought this time there’d be no reply just like before, but who would have thought the other side actually replied instantly.

[Lao Liu: 4.]
