With such dedicated cultivation, naturally they made great progress. However, Great Beauty Mei was bothered by something else!
The arduous and tough practice wasn’t a big deal. What Mei Xueyan found unbearable was that… Due to the matter with Zhan Kuang, Jun Moxie would head out everyday to check if there were any updates. But whenever this scoundrel headed out… his lower half got the better of him…
And this scoundrel was still harping on the matter with her uncooperation back then; he would harass her before he headed out, making her entire face turn red and flushed before leaving. She had more or less gotten used to it by now and could just leave things as is—had he stopped there. But the more unacceptable thing was that every time when he did naughty things with Guan Qinghan or Dugu Xiaoyi, he would purposely leave a small opening in the Hongjun Pagoda, allowing her to hear all those weird noises distinctly…
Naturally, a virgin maiden like Mei Xueyan would be extremely embarrassed and awkward about hearing those weird sounds…
Yet she had to endure it silently, unable to confront the culprit on this!
Mei Xueyan could even imagine the despicable, shameless look of a certain baddie if she were to criticize him for it. Huh? You were the one eavesdropping on this Young Master’s private matters and you are the reasonable one?
If that scoundrel really questioned her back with this, she could forget about keeping her face anymore!! And if that fellow used it as a chance to push things…
How she wished that she could tie him up and give him a good beating…
But now, she could no longer win against him…
Even if she could, she wouldn’t bear to really hit him… Looks like she really needs to find a chance to work together with all the other sisters… otherwise this baddie will really get too brazen!
But the first woman to lose her cool wasn’t Mei Xueyan!
It was Miao Xiaomiao!
Three months had already passed. But there was still nothing from the Misty Illusory Manor. Miao Dao and Miao Jian didn’t visit, and there was no news from them. Something was off.
The Misty Illusory Manor was in an awkward position due to the hostility between Jun Moxie and the three Holy Lands, and it was difficult for them to intervene, so they didn’t assist in the War for Seizing the Heavens. It may be a poor reason, but it was still passable!
But now… the Outsiders had been wiped out, and the three Holy Lands have also fallen. There was no longer any issue about their position! For the Misty Illusory Manor to not make any move when their princess, Miao Xiaomiao of the Miao Family was staying outside for such a long period before being properly wedded… This was a little ridiculous, or rather to say, it was still unusual!
Miao Xiaomiao wasn’t the only one who was about to lose her cool. Even Jun Moxie was too.
He had always been cautious of the devious ways of Zhan Kuang and did not put his attention on the Misty Illusory Manor. But thinking back, he couldn’t help but feel a pang of shock. It couldn’t be that something major had really happened in the Misty Illusory Manor, could it?
Recalling the sudden disappearance of Zhan Kuang, and the fact that he was the ancestor of the Zhan Family of the Misty Illusory Manor, Young Master Jun really couldn’t remain seated any longer. Thus, he made the decision to go into the Misty Illusory Manor to see what the situation was.
If Zhan Kuang was wreaking havoc, perhaps he could borrow Miao Qingcheng’s strength to thoroughly annihilate him. That would be the most ideal situation. Even if it couldn’t be achieved, if the battle unfolded in Misty Illusory Manor, it had nothing to do with the Xuan Xuan Continent!
The classic ‘you can die on your own’ way of doing things!
It’s just that this expedition had set the entire Evil Monarch Manor abuzz. Dugu Xiaoyi, Han Yanmeng, and the rest insisted on accompanying him. Even the more composed Guan Qinghan also seemed keen… While those few younger girls outrightly pinned their vengeful stares on a certain someone…
Up till now, only Guan Qinghan, Dugu Xiaoyi, and Miao Xiaomiao had gotten the taste of assurance. All the others were still left hanging, not having the smallest chance of coming close to it. Now that things have finally settled down, Jun Moxie was heading out again. How could it be accepted?!
Young Master Jun had a hard time
Finally, he managed to pacify his own women, but there were still many more people who needed to be appeased!
Ever since Old Master Jun had moved into Tian Fa forest, his days had undoubtedly been carefree and relaxed. Occasionally playing chess, drinking tea, fishing, practicing… If there was nothing to do, he’d pick up a book to read, finding his own entertainment. He was getting stronger in his health, but if there were any regrets… it was none other that he was going to get another grandson, but there’s no hope of a great-grandson yet… Can’t that brat Moxie work harder! Not getting any single girl pregnant after such a long time… It’s truly an insult to the Jun Family…
Old Master Jun was definitely not being boastful or arrogant. Old Master Jun himself had three sons. His first son, Jun Wuhui had three sons by the age of thirty. Third Master Jun Wuyi may have started later, but even Han Yanyao was pregnant now, so he was ahead of Young Master Jun. Thus Young Master Jun truly was a disgrace!
Jun Wuyi and Han Yanyao were deeply in love, spending the majority of their efforts in the charity business they had established together. As the saying goes, the man sings and the woman follows. They showed their love to each other practically everyday. Furthermore, as her belly grew bigger, the day Han Yanyao gave birth drew nearer, Jun Wuyi served her with utmost care everyday, awaiting the birth of his son. Aside from this, it seemed that the Jun Family really hadn’t had a new ‘son’ in a long time.
Only Young Master Jun’s mother, Dongfang Wenxin, was a little silent during this period of time. Often remaining in her room alone, silently going into a daze. Sometimes, even Jun Moxie would be rejected when he asked to meet her. Under the nourishment of Young Master Jun’s divine medicine, Dongfang Wenxin showed no signs of aging and was looking younger by the day. Her appearance was that of a woman in her late twenties.
Yet the nourishment from medicine could only nourish the physical body, but not the regrets of the heart.
Jun Moxie could distinctly sense the perplexed feelings and longing in his mother’s heart.
The crisis of the Outsiders had been completely eradicated. The Jun Family now stood on the peak position of this continent, and it was impossible to be pulled down. Her precious son was publicly recognized as the number one in the world. Those few daughter-in-laws were all gorgeous, gentle, and extremely filial.
The only regret she has now was that she couldn’t see her son’s wedding, hadn’t carried her grandson, and there was still more external concern: Zhan Kuang!
But it was only a matter of time for these problems to be resolved. Dongfang Wenxin was really confident in her own son!
Thus, right now, Dongfang Wenxin seemed to feel as if there was no meaning to her existence anymore.
With this thought, she couldn’t help but remember her husband who had died young, and her two other sons who had died tragic deaths…
This was ultimately a pain in her heart that would remain forever.
A pain that could never be relieved! For eternity!
Right now, Dongfang Wenxin was sitting silently in her room, staring in a daze at the painting she had drawn of her husband, not moving her gaze away for one second. Her eyes were completely filled with miserable reminisce.
"Wu Hui… Did you know? Moxie has really grown up already; he has many wives and concubines. The Jun Family is no longer in any danger, and we are practically ruling the world. En, you had never thought of wanting to rule, only hoping that everyone is healthy and happy. The current Jun Family is strong enough to last for generations, you can rest in peace now… There is no longer anything that I’m worried about in this world; Moxie can handle everything, so I can also rest assured! We have been separated by life and death for more than ten years! Soon! The day you and I shall be reunited is coming soon!"
Dongfang Wenxin mumbled to herself, as tears slowly filled her eyes: "It’s coming really soon, you must wait for me; when Moxie gets married and I get a look at our grandson, I’ll immediately go and accompany you… I haven’t gone over all this time, you must be blaming me?"
"I believe you will definitely also wish to see, see our son establish his own family, and how our grandson looks… I’ve been enduring through it all, so that I can bring this good news over, soon, very soon…" Dongfang Wenxin smiled bleakly. "I hope you can forgive me, en, you’ve never blamed anyone and wouldn’t blame me! But you must have been anxious from waiting!…"
Just at this moment, a soft knocking sound rang out. "Mother, are you inside?"
Jun Moxie was here.
"I’m here. Moxie, give me a moment." Dongfang Wenxin wiped her eyes in a panic, keeping that painting away. She checked her reflection in the mirror, ensuring that there’s nothing amiss about her, before she went to open the door.
Jun Moxie sharply detected an extreme feeling of grief the moment he stepped into the room. He couldn’t help but sigh internally.
"Moxie, why did you wrap up so early today?" Dongfang Wenxin looked at her son, her face completely normal, a faint smile gracing her face. Dongfang Wenxin’s mood would only get better when she saw her son everyday.
"En, I will need to head out these couple of days to settle some minor affairs. I came over to inform you, so that you wouldn’t worry."
"Oh? You’re heading out again?" Dongfang Wenxin wrinkled her brow. "Is it dangerous?" But she realized how foolish she sounded when she asked this. Even if there was danger, why would her son answer her honestly? With Jun Moxie’s status, how could it be a small matter if it was something that required him to tend to personally!
This son had always reported only the good news and held back unpleasant ones.
"I already said that it was to resolve something small. How could it be dangerous? For the most part, it’s just that I wanted to go out for a bit to clear my mind." As expected, Jun Moxie only explained it very vaguely.
"Hmph, even if it was really dangerous, will you tell?" Dongfang Wenxin rolled her eyes. "But you’ve come at a good time, I was also looking for you to discuss something."
"What’s the matter?" Jun Moxie asked..
"Moxie, you’re no longer small. You’re a grown boy now, And you have so many good ladies following you." Dongfang Wenxin said slowly. "It’s not suitable to continue like this, without giving them proper statuses; it’s better to have them settled earlier. Take that Miao Lass for example, she has given everything to you. The least you should do is give her a name… And Xueyan, why are you delaying it… And Ke’er, Meng’er…"
Dongfang Wenxin ignored Jun Moxie’s jaw that was dropping, bringing up every single girl. Then, in a decisive tone, she said: "Let’s see, when you have the time, let’s hold the wedding."
