Chapter 173: Chapter 91: The Inner Residence Settles, Brush Falls and Illusory Painting
Zhao Qingxue’s people arrived first, so they occupied the East Courtyard.
Tian Yuan’s people occupied the West Courtyard.
On the other side, Tian Yuan sat boldly beside Li Xuan, welcoming guests alongside Li Xuan and Zhao Qingxue.
The guests bowed and addressed them as "Greetings, ladies," without daring to distinguish between them.
And thus... a busy day passed.
Night fell...
Just as the two women were wondering who Prince Qing would favor tonight, Li Xuan, citing "no favoritism, no precedence," pulled both ladies onto the bed, wanting to enjoy the pleasures of having them both.
Though Tian Yuan felt her husband’s strength, she maintained her gentle wife’s demeanor, accepting everything, positioning a pillow under her hips, earnestly wishing to conceive early for Li Xuan.
In contrast, the Little Princess initially gritted her teeth, bracing herself as though facing death. But soon she started pleading, "slow down, it’s broken, I beg you," and the like.
However, Li Xuan was already being extra careful.
Once it was over, the Little Princess followed suit, placing a pillow under her hips to not miss the chance of pregnancy.
Tian Yuan, experienced in reading people, was far beyond what the Little Princess could compare to.
At this moment, seeing the Little Princess, Tian Yuan immediately saw through the young girl who was holding up a facade but was deeply afraid inside, much like Li Xuan.
She lay on Li Xuan’s right arm, looking across his chest with clean eyes full of laughter towards the Little Princess.
The Little Princess was already exhausted, glancing weakly at the woman opposite, wanting to share feelings.
Soon enough, she had the chance.
Li Xuan said he would get up to walk around.
After Li Xuan left, the Little Princess looked softly at Tian Yuan, the words she had wanted to say remained unspoken.
Tian Yuan laughed out loud.
The Little Princess blushed and said, "What are you laughing at?"
Tian Yuan replied in a gentle, friendly tone, "Prince Qing really dotes on you."
The Little Princess was startled for a moment.
Tian Yuan continued, "He’s very attentive to you."
Attentive?
In this moment, the Little Princess instantly understood.
She said, "Prince Qing isn’t bad to you either."
Tian Yuan replied, "Not as much as you."
Her tone was sincere, her smile warm, her eyes clear, easily engendering goodwill.
In terms of social interaction, the Little Princess fell short of Tian Yuan.
At this moment, she began to cry, "It really hurts."
Tian Yuan leaned in and whispered, "I’ll teach you a trick, so it won’t hurt as much."
As she said this, she whispered softly into the ear.
The Little Princess’s ears turned red from hearing.
However, the gap between her and this "Great Demon’s original wife" was rapidly narrowing, their relationship growing closer.
By the time Li Xuan returned, the Little Princess was already calling her "sister."
As for Li Xuan, he didn’t go out for anything else but to light incense, opening the [Worshipers’ Divine Realm], praying and wishing for offspring.
This Incense Fire Divine Realm had terrifying power to fulfill wishes.
It could bless others for safe journeys; directly enhance martial artists’ strengths, helping them break through without swallowing Qi Blood Pill or Pill Fish; heal illnesses; seek offspring...
All these require being "Believers" to be effective.
In other words, unless these people worship Li Xuan, it remains useless.
But seeking offspring... was Li Xuan wishing for himself, so Tian Yuan and Zhao Qingxue didn’t need to believe in him.
...
...
Afterwards, Li Xuan sought Wei Yao, giving her the Dragon-Catching Hand and Pearl Spitting Skill that matched the Six Harmonies Phoenix Spear, and then handed her a large Blood Qi Pill for cultivation, aiming for her to soon enter Dual Cultivator, even Triple Cultivator Secret Martial Arts practitioner, and eventually reach the demon form realm.
Then, he mentioned having children.
Wei Yao ran away.
Upon learning that the demon form realm could extend life by a jiazi, she abandoned the thought of children.
Children would only slow her spear speed.
Though she had her own thoughts.
If she could reach the demon form realm, then... after a century, she could stay by Li Xuan’s side.
...
Besides Wei Yao, there was also Rose.
However, Rose herself had issues, not suitable as a candidate for offspring.
...
...
Li Xuan’s days calmed down.
The East and West Courtyards of Prince Qing’s Mansion were not troubled.
Simply because the two female owners were pulled by Prince Qing every day for companionship.
Anyone with eyes could see the Little Princess and Tian Yuan’s relationship rapidly improving, even better than with Li Xuan.
When Li Xuan was present, the Little Princess was tense, but with Tian Yuan, she would engage in loose chit-chat, taking on the appearance of treating her as a new close friend.
This wasn’t the Little Princess’s skill level, but rather because she felt comfortable and at ease with Tian Yuan.
What she didn’t know was... "When a person likes to talk non-stop in front of another, feeling free, it actually means that person’s emotional intelligence has completely crushed her."
Gradually, the Little Princess’s impression of Tian Yuan transformed from the original "Demon Queen" to a "village girl sacrificing herself to appease the Demon King’s anger."
She began to drag Tian Yuan out to the night market in Xiongshan County; began to be taken by Tian Yuan to cloth shops, blacksmiths, even the Li family’s martial arts school, taverns and other venues; began to say things like "Sister, don’t be busy today, come hang out with me."
Tian Yuan’s presence made Li Xuan’s "harem" extraordinarily stable, never getting out of control.
