Chapter 81: Chapter 80 Beasts!

Tonight, it was still Pei Yuenan who tended to Chen Xuan.

This was also arranged by Su Wanqiu.

After all, the two had just gotten married, and they needed more time to bond. As for the future, the duty would rotate among the three.

Late at night.

Pei Yuenan leaned into Chen Xuan’s embrace, her breathing irregular.

She slightly raised her head and sneaked a glance at him.

She couldn’t believe how a seemingly serious man could be so perverted.

Her tender face instantly flushed red with shyness.

Last night, it was just the two of them exerting energy; tonight, it was exhausting for her.

He made her pose in such embarrassing positions, and even made her… speak…

“Alright, alright!” Chen Xuan gently patted her back to comfort her, then added a shameless remark.

“You’ll get used to it over time.”

“You…”

Pei Yuenan was so angry she couldn’t finish her sentence, only managing to glare at him with starlight in her eyes.

However,

Chen Xuan chuckled.

“Does Sister Wanqiu serve you like this too?”

“Mm!”

“And Little Sister Yun too?”

“Of course!”

“You beast!”

Pei Yuenan ground her teeth as she spat out the words.

It was really perverted; even though she hadn’t known Su Yun for long, in her eyes, Su Yun was as pure as a child. How could he do this?

“Impertinent! You deserve a spanking!”

A crisp sound echoed in the room, and a five-fingered red mark appeared on Pei Yue’s perked up bottom.

“Hmph!”

Pei Yuenan let out a cold snort of dissatisfaction.

She couldn’t outfight him, nor could she outtalk him!

She could only bury her head in the blanket, ignoring him.

Uh?

Now it was Chen Xuan’s turn to feel awkward. He just wanted to tease her, but from the looks of it, she was really upset.

This…

Women from big families are different; in this regard, they’re not as good as Su Yun, who is more fun.

This is one of the reasons why Chen Xuan dotes on her so much.

What to do?

You have to coax your own woman!

If Su Wanqiu found out tomorrow, she would definitely nag him again.

In this family, if there’s anyone he could listen to,

it would have to be Su Wanqiu.

It’s not that Chen Xuan is scared of her; he just holds immense respect for her, perhaps because she used to be his sister-in-law.

“Alright, alright, if you’re not angry, I’ll promise you one thing, okay?”

Chen Xuan shook the blanket-covered Pei Yuenan, enticing her to come out.

“Really?”

Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, she poked her head out.

“Of course, how could I lie to you?”

“Then accompany me to the Pei Family tomorrow.”

Seeing her hopeful gaze, Chen Xuan didn’t hesitate and nodded.

He had to go sooner or later anyway, even though there was some interest involved between him and Pei Yuenan.

But now that she was his woman,

it didn’t matter anymore.

Moreover, Chen Xuan has always been very indulgent to his women, but only if they attend to him diligently.

He never worries about Su Yun and Su Wanqiu.

As for Pei Yuenan… perhaps he’ll wait and see in the future.

“Thank you!”

As a newlywed woman, she was supposed to return home, but she feared Chen Xuan would be unwilling, since his relationship with the Pei Family was purely interest-based.

She was just testing him earlier, not expecting him to really agree.

So happy, she leaned forward and offered a sweet kiss.

But just as she wanted to lie down, Chen Xuan held her, his lips brushing her ear, “Then… let’s do it one more time!”

“Huh~~~?”

….

The next day!

Pei Yuenan got up early, even before Chen Xuan.

She first sent servants to the Pei Family to arrange everything, but it was to be kept simple, as instructed by Chen Xuan.

The reason being he didn’t like fuss.

Moreover, with his current status, if he went to Yunze County City, it was easy for some people to ’encounter’ him!

He found it troublesome.

Pei Yuenan agreed deeply, so she repeatedly reminded the servants going to the Pei Family.

After finishing all this, she served Chen Xuan as he got up, dressed, and washed, though a bit flustered.

Yet Chen Xuan was quite satisfied.

After all, it’s no small feat for a young lady from a family who’s been served by others her whole life to do this.

After breakfast, Chen Xuan took Pei Yuenan onto a small boat heading to Yunze County City.

This time, Su Yun didn’t clamor to go along, understanding it was a visit to the Pei Family, like a homecoming, which she understood.

On the small boat,

Chen Xuan stood at the bow, watching the clear waters, seeing the fish in the water clearly, his mood becoming much calmer.

This world had this going for it, lacking pollution.

He reached out a hand, and with a gentle hook of his finger, a red fish swimming happily in the water ended up in his palm.

Seemingly startled, it kept slapping Chen Xuan’s palm with its tail.

“Hehe… little thing, unhappy now.”

Chen Xuan chuckled, but a moment later he tossed the fish back into the water.

He was just playing around a bit before.

Pei Yuenan was quite taken aback and asked, “What kind of martial technique is that?”

After all, she was a Seventh-Grade Martial Artist, and at that moment, she clearly sensed a pull. Although very faint, she was certain she felt it.

“Just a little trick, nothing serious.”

“Hmph!”

Seeing him brush her off, Pei Yuenan snorted like a young girl and turned her head away, ignoring him.

However, this time Chen Xuan didn’t pay her any mind, only smiled lightly.

The martial techniques he knew, even Su Wanqiu and the others didn’t know about them, much less tell her.

Soon enough… they arrived at the black market dock.

At this time, there weren’t many people at the dock yet.

The two quickly got into the carriage the Pei Family had prepared in advance and headed towards the Pei Family.

….

By this time, the Pei Family had everything ready, just awaiting the arrival of the two newlyweds.

“Is everything ready?”

Pei Geng asked Pei Hu beside him.

“Everything is prepared, rest assured, father. Today’s dishes are made from the finest ingredients, and there’s also precious demon beast meat.”

“Hmm!”

Pei Geng nodded.

After all, this was Chen Xuan’s first visit to the Pei Family.

Moreover, he always felt guilty about his precious daughter,

After all, Pei Yuenan sacrificed a lot for the Pei Family this time. Though given Chen Xuan’s current strength and status, he’s a good match for her.

However, interests are involved here.

He’s also worried that because of this, Chen Xuan might regard his precious daughter lightly.

So even though Pei Yuenan said that everything should be simple.

Things could be simple, but everything else must be the highest standard of the Pei Family.

Just to show Chen Xuan the greatest respect, hoping he’ll treat Pei Yuenan better.

For this purpose, he even prepared a grand gift.

…

Even though Chen Xuan was very low-key this time, many families in Yunze County still received the news.

After all, he’s quite the prominent figure now.

Also, being under the mysterious Master Chen, who wouldn’t want to make such a connection?

At this moment, within the Chen Family.

“Chen Xuan is in the county city, and Pei Yuenan is holding onto him?”

“Yes, father!”

Ever since Chen Xuan had become the West District Hall Master, he’d been sending people to keep an eye on the black market dock.

He instructed them to report immediately if there’s any news of him.

“Hehe… I understand now.”

Chen Fangyuan suddenly felt enlightened.

So that explains why the Pei Family could gain control of the West District; it seems they gave Pei Yuenan to Chen Xuan as a trade.

This wasn’t really a surprise considering that only a few people knew of Chen Xuan’s grand wedding.

Although he had speculated before, he wasn’t sure until now.

Looking at the situation now, it seems likely.

“I’m wondering why the shops in the West District have been stagnant for so long, and coincidentally, yesterday Old Dog Pei released news about reopening rentals.”

“It seems Pei Yuenan entered the Chen Mansion not long ago, maybe just within these two days. Now Chen Xuan is taking Pei Yuenan back to the Pei Family; that means everything is settled.”

“Damn it! That old thing Pei Geng got a windfall.”

Chen Fangyuan cursed, realizing if he’d known the kid had such a taste, he could have offered his daughter too.

Though his daughter wasn’t quite in the same league as Pei Yuenan.

But one wouldn’t be enough; he could offer two… or even more.

For families like theirs, exchanging a daughter for control of the West District was like finding a pot of gold raining from the sky; no wonder Chen Fangyuan said it benefited the Pei Family.

Chen Qi, in his heart, also agreed with his analysis.

Despite his father not usually being involved, he’s indeed wise.

A few hints, and he could infer the entire situation.

“Father, what should we do now?”

Now Chen Xuan was basically part of the Pei Family; befriending him would be difficult.

“Go negotiate with the Pei Family. With so many shops in the West District, the Pei Family wouldn’t dare claim them all. Moreover, isn’t the Yao Family keenly eyeing them as well?”

“The Yao Family has shut their doors for over a month now, ignoring external affairs. And now with Chen Xuan part of the Pei Family, they shouldn’t fear the Yao Family.”

“Wrong!”

Chen Qi immediately rejected his own thought.

Beside him, Chen Fangyuan was patient, observing him.

He wanted to see what conclusion his son would reach.

“Even if Chen Xuan married Pei Yuenan, it shouldn’t mean he stands with the Pei Family, at most it should be considered a collaboration.”

“Why?”

Chen Fangwen asked.

“For such a big affair, the Pei Family hasn’t made any announcements. You know, with Chen Xuan’s strength and background, if I were the Pei Family, I’d certainly make it widely known, and that way, the Pei Family’s status in Yunze County would rise again.”

“Such a good thing, there’s no reason to keep it under wraps.”

“Good, good, hahaha.”

Chen Fangyuan clapped and laughed, pleased with his son’s growing resemblance to the style of a patriarch.

However, he added, “Also, don’t underestimate the Yao Family, at least not in the short term! There are weapons tasks assigned from above, and we’ll have to rely on the Yao Family for them! The Pei Family might seem prosperous now, but being prominent can attract troubles, thus at least for now, the Pei Family needs us.”

“I understand what I need to do!”

“Hmm!”

….

While Chen Fangyuan and his son were having this discussion, Chen Xuan had already arrived at the Pei Family.

“Father!!!”

Seeing Pei Geng, Pei Yuenan ran over immediately, leaning against his chest.

“Good, good, good!”

Pei Geng tenderly patted her, “This home will always be your home, and you are no longer the spoiled young mistress, remember what’s expected of you!”

“I understand, father!”

A daughter married is like water poured out, especially for a big family like the Pei Family.

However, from Pei Geng’s words, she felt like she was still the Pei Family’s young mistress, at least within the Pei Family she was.

At this moment, Pei Yuenan also left his embrace.

Seeing this, Chen Xuan walked over respectfully and greeted, “Father-in-law!”
