Miao Yi was speechless as the scene flashed through his mind. How could he forget what he had said back then? It was too deep. Hong Chen's reminder immediately brought it back to him.
Remembering was one thing, but Miao Yi wasn't so ignorant as to not know his place. Even now, those words seemed to have come out of his' youth '. He never thought he would be where he was today. As the saying went, the older one got, the more cowardly they became. He even felt ashamed for saying that he would marry Yun Zhiqiu within a thousand years.
Every now and then, he would ask himself, 'How could I have dared to say something like that?' Especially after witnessing Feng Beichen's strength, he felt even more ashamed. He really didn't know his place back then!
But there was one thing he understood, and that was that the people he had said those words to were all beauties. Hong Chen and Yun Zhiqiu were both beauties. He thought that he probably wouldn't have said those words if they were ugly people. After thinking about it for a while, he realized that he really wasn't much of a person.
It would have been better if she hadn't mentioned it. Now that she did, Miao Yi felt a little awkward. "I was just talking nonsense back then. Don't take it seriously."
Hong Chen shook her head. "I didn't take it seriously at first, but I guess I will now. If you don't think my status is too low for you, then marry me!"
'Are you serious?' Miao Yi was stunned. He looked at her from head to toe, then back to her head. Even though he had seen many beauties now, and he wasn't as dazed as he used to be when he hid behind that old willow tree, this woman was still as beautiful as a goddess. He hesitated and asked, "Marry me? I already have a wife now. You should know what it means to marry me. Are you really willing to become my concubine? "
Hong Chen nodded reluctantly. "I'll be your concubine then. You have quite a few concubines anyway. It doesn't matter if I'm one more."
Her words didn't sound right at all. How was this the attitude of someone who wanted to marry him? Miao Yi scratched his head and asked, "Did Mu Fanjun force you? Is she up to something again? Forgive me for being blunt, but I really don't see that you like me. Don't tell me that you're willing to marry me because I replaced Feng Beichen and took a liking to my status. You don't seem like that kind of person. "
Hong Chen's usually aloof Rourou had a hint of exhaustion in her eyes as she said, "I'm tired! Master says I'm useless and stupid, but I actually understand many things in my heart. It's just that I've been purposely avoiding it. I don't want to get involved in too many grudges, so I've been fine with it. No matter what Master says to me or what he wants me to do, I'll accept it as long as I can bear it. Right now, the relationship between you and my master is treacherous. Then, I pulled Yue Yao into the fray. Master's methods tend to be more intense, and there are too many ups and downs. I'm afraid I won't be able to handle it. I don't want to go against Master, and I don't want to implicate Yue Yao either. However, I can't betray Master either. Getting married is a very good reason. Although I don't know what happened between you and the Six Sages, I can tell that Master seems to have a favor to ask of you. This is an opportunity for both of us. I don't think my master will refuse. "
Miao Yi was silent. It was indeed difficult for Mu Fanjun to reject his request at this time. However … Miao Yi didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He said, "Your Senior Sister An Ruyu's daughter is married to me. Now, your Junior Sister is going to marry me as well. What's going on?"
"Is it important?" Hong Chen said helplessly, "As long as you don't mind, I don't mind. My master doesn't mind either. The opinions of others don't matter. As long as you can pull me out of that whirlpool, Yue Yao will then have one less burden. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to betray Master. As long as I'm still in Master's hands, Yue Yao will always be a means for my master to control you. "
Miao Yi said solemnly, "If Mu Fanjun forces me into a corner … I'll kill her! " Putting aside the fact that he had the confidence to face off against the Six Sages after fighting Feng Beichen, he indeed had a way to kill Mu Fanjun once she was in the higher realm.
Hong Chen shook his head and said, "You killed Yue Yao's master. What will Yue Yao do then? Putting aside Yue Yao, you killed my master, regardless of whether I was willing or not. I will seek revenge on you. Our relationship is destined to be irreconcilable. When that time comes, will you kill me again? Will Yue Yao seek revenge on my big brother? Are you trying to drive Yue Yao crazy? Don't worry. After I'm married to you, it doesn't matter if you want me or not. Just give me a quiet corner. I won't disturb you, and I won't take up any of your resources. It doesn't matter if you ignore me forever. Just give me a quiet corner to cultivate in peace. I just want to be free from all these distractions! "
Miao Yi understood and understood that this woman was truly tired. All she wanted was a justifiable excuse to break away from Mu Fanjun's influence. If she married a chicken, she would follow the chicken; if she married a dog, she would follow the dog. What a good excuse this was. Even if he and Mu Fanjun fought to the death, one side would be her master, while the other side was her husband. She could still hide in a quiet corner without helping either of them.
In other words, she wasn't interested in him, nor was she interested in his current power. No, it had something to do with how much power he had now. Otherwise, Hong Chen could easily find someone to marry. However, marrying an ordinary person would be useless. An ordinary person wouldn't be able to stop Mu Fanjun from interfering. It was also impossible for her to marry the other five Sages. Putting aside the fact that Mu Fanjun wouldn't agree to it, the other five Sages wouldn't lower themselves to become the man of Mu Fanjun's disciple either.
At this moment, Miao Yi finally had a better opinion of this woman. She was able to figure out that Mu Fanjun had a favor to ask of him even though she didn't know what was going on. Her timing was impeccable. It looked like this woman wasn't just beautiful; she was smart as well. Just like she said, she knew everything. She was just a little 'lazy' and kept running away. Perhaps she was waiting for a chance to break free from Mu Fanjun.
Seeing that he wasn't saying anything, Hong Chen probed, "You're not willing even for Yue Yao's sake?"
Miao Yi turned around and walked to the side. He slowly sat down and shook his head. "There's no such thing as being willing or not. It's just that my wife won't approve of a concubine marrying into the family. If even the wife can't tolerate you, how am I supposed to marry her? I can't possibly cause a ruckus in my inner residence just to marry you, can I? "
Hong Chen slowly walked over and sat down beside him. She whispered, "I've met Yun Zhiqiu a few times in the Realm Beyond Heaven. She's a woman with her own ideas. If she can convince you to marry Qin Weiwei … just explain the situation to her and tell her my intentions. She'll agree."
Miao Yi tilted his head and asked suspiciously, "Are you sure she'll agree?"
Hong Chen smiled gently. "She will. If she doesn't, I'll talk to her again. Alright, it's not appropriate for me to stay here for too long. I'll head back first in case Master calls for me. "She then stood up and bowed slightly, before turning around and leaving.
She was going to marry another woman? Miao Yi stared at her departing figure in a daze. Not too long ago, he had sworn that he would never marry another woman even if he was beaten to death …
Half a month later, Yun Zhiqiu brought Yun Xiao and the others back to the small world once more. As soon as they returned to the Boundless Heaven, the Five Sages immediately came out to welcome them and lead them away.
Miao Yi came out to welcome them. Yun Zhiqiu looked around at the five departing figures, then grabbed Miao Yi's arm and walked into the inner residence together. Along the way, she noticed that Miao Yi kept sneaking glances at her. When she looked at him, Miao Yi immediately averted her gaze.
Pulling her arm back, Yun Zhiqiu didn't say a word and immediately kicked Miao Yi's calf. She raised her brows and said, "Niu Er, why do you look so guilty? Did you do something wrong to me again? Did you cheat on someone again? "
"What do you mean by cheating on someone again? When have you ever seen me cheat on someone? It's just that I have to trouble a woman like Madam to run around tirelessly. I just feel uneasy about it! " Miao Yi acted as though he was in the right, but in reality, he was too embarrassed to bring up the matter of taking Hong Chen as a concubine.
Meanwhile, after returning to his own room, Yun Aotian immediately turned around and asked, "How was it? Is there really such a thing as a higher realm? "
Yun Xiao smiled bitterly. "Father! That's right. Sister Qiu and the others have indeed established themselves in the higher realm. Some things can't be faked at all. What I've seen and heard is simply amazing. I realize that we've really been looking at the sky from the bottom of a well. There are cultivators with boundless transcendence energy, Colorful Lotus realm cultivators, all kinds of immortal herbs that we've never seen before, and above Gold Crystals, there are Purple Crystals and Red Crystals, Fifth Grade Core Formation, and even Sixth Grade Core Formation that we don't even dare to imagine … "
Inside Yao Sage Ji Huan's temporary residence, Ji Huan stroked his mustache as he listened to his son's words. His eyes flickered incessantly.
Ji Dejun went on and on, "There are indeed countless small realms in the higher realm, and there are passageways between them. The Celestial Emperor reigns supreme in the Celestial Court, and his wife, the Empress, is the Phoenix Lord. Below her are the Four Heavenly Kings, twelve Marshals, thirty-six Celestial Sovereigns, and seventy-two Marquises. All of them are cultivators with boundless transcendence energy, and these are all official positions. There are also many cultivators with boundless transcendence energy in idle positions, and the number of Colorful Lotus realm cultivators below them is even greater …"
Inside Buddha Sage Cang Lei's house, Cang Lei had already stopped fiddling with the rosary beads in his hand. He widened his eyes as he listened to Fa Yan's narration.
Fa Yan's expression was solemn as he calmly narrated, "… Other than the Celestial Court, the Buddhist school also has another Paragon, who is known as the Lord Buddha. He is one of the two Paragons of the higher realm, standing side by side with the Celestial Emperor, Lord Green. Lord Green rules over the world, while the Lord Buddha does not interfere with worldly affairs. His temples are planted all over Lord Green's territory, capturing the power of will of the world's devotees. Both sides have a balanced interest, each taking what they need, and do not invade each other. It can be said that one is quiet while the other is active, and the other complements each other. There is no conflict of power between the two, and it is indeed a perfect match. If there is no external interference, the two Paragons will likely continue to exist. It can be said that the saying that two tigers cannot share a mountain … "
Inside Ghost Sage Situ Xiao's house, after listening to his disciple Wang Daolin's narration, Situ Xiao asked, "What about Miao Yi? How is he doing in the higher realm? "
