The next day, Yun Zhiqiu sat high up on the throne. Hong Chen, Ji Meili, Yu Nujiao, and Fayin came forward one by one to offer tea to Yun Zhiqiu.
Yun Zhiqiu had a radiant smile on her face. Her gaze constantly swept across the faces of the four women, and she was secretly trying to stifle her laughter. She had indeed had a great time last night. Lord Miao had served her with all his might, and his mushy words had even made her sick to death. However, this was the kind of thing she liked, and she loved listening to Miao Yi say sweet nothings to her. The more mushy it was, the more she liked it.
Even though she knew that Lord Miao was purposely trying to flatter her out of guilt, when all was said and done, Miao Yi didn't go look for his bride as a newlywed, and instead chose to accompany her instead. Even though she didn't say it out loud, she felt much better inside. She was secretly pleased with herself. She liked the feeling of Miao Yi doting on her.
"Master doesn't have the right to interfere in the affairs of the family, and a man shouldn't be wasting his time on a bunch of women either. So, I'm the one who calls the shots in the family!" Yun Zhiqiu firmly affirmed his position in front of everyone, not bothering to stand on ceremony at all.
"Yes!" The four ladies glanced at Miao Yi. Seeing Miao Yi rubbing his nose without saying a word, they all bowed in acknowledgment.
Unexpectedly, Yun Zhiqiu shifted her gaze to Miao Yi and calmly said, "Old Master, why are you rubbing your nose? Do you have a problem with my words?"
"Ahem!" Miao Yi let out a dry cough, then waved his hand and said, "I have no objections. Madam has the final say in matters of the family." He had married four of them at once. It would be strange if she had any objections.
Yu Nu Jiao, who was standing below, looked at him with disdain. She muttered in her heart, "So he's just a coward who is afraid of his wife."
"I don't care which house is bigger or smaller. I treat everyone equally. I don't care what your purpose was before coming here. Since you've married into the Miao Family, you're a member of the Miao Family. If anyone dares to do anything that goes against the Miao Family, I'll cripple him or her first! When the time comes, even if Old Master begs for mercy, it'll be useless. I'll say it again: I'm the one who calls the shots in the inner residence! "Yun Zhiqiu's cold gaze swept across the crowd." Did all of you hear me? "
"Yes!" No matter what they thought in their hearts, the four women bowed and agreed on the surface.
"Weiwei!" Yun Zhiqiu tilted her head and said to Qin Weiwei, who was sitting below her, "Bring them to the courtyard that has been allocated to them."
"Yes!" Qin Weiwei stood up and led the four away.
There were no outsiders. Yun Zhiqiu crossed his legs and said mockingly to Miao Yi, who was sitting beside him, "Every single one of them is a great beauty. My eyes are getting dizzy just by looking at them. You must be feeling pretty good inside, right?"
Miao Yi chuckled. "Last night, I witnessed Madam's graceful charm. How could I be interested in other women? "
"Chi! If your words can be trusted, then I'll have to admit that there's something wrong with my head! "Yun Zhiqiu scoffed disdainfully as he stood up and left.
In the following days, Miao Yi wasn't interested in marrying before, nor did he want to. However, after marrying her, Miao Yi couldn't help but feel restless. After all, she was already a piece of meat in his mouth, but he still didn't dare to run off to his four new concubines. Every night, he would obediently stay by his first wife's side. There would be plenty of opportunities in the future anyway, so he wasn't in a hurry. Right now, his top priority was to make this woman happy. Otherwise, his days would be miserable.
Meanwhile, Yun Zhiqiu's attention was diverted to official business. Miao Yi was lazy and didn't want to take care of this matter, so he simply threw everything to his subordinates. Yun Zhiqiu had no choice but to take over. At the very least, he didn't want to be fooled by an outsider.
As soon as she took over, Miao Yi felt even more at ease. Yun Zhiqiu was incredibly busy with reorganizing such a large territory, while Miao Yi hid in his silent quarters to cultivate.
Even though Miao Yi didn't agree to make a move on the Sea of Constellations, the Four Overlords still volunteered time and time again. Left with no choice, Miao Yi agreed.
One day, he was in the middle of his cultivation. Hong Mian suddenly ran over to report, "Holy Lord, Exquisite Refinement Sect's Xiang Baiting requests an audience!"
Yun Zhiqiu was a woman after all. It wasn't good for her to have men around her all the time. Things were no longer the same as when she was at Tempest Tavern. She was now married, so it wasn't good for rumors to spread. Furthermore, she had a bunch of subordinates watching over her. She had to set an example, and Qian'Er and Xue'Er weren't by her side. Naturally, Qin Weiwei became her assistant, while Hong Mian and Lu Liu became her messengers.
Sitting cross-legged on the stone couch, Miao Yi asked curiously, "What is he doing here? I won't see him! If there's anything, ask Madam to take care of it. "He didn't have a good impression of Xiang Baiting.
Hong Mian said, "Madam said that it's not easy for her to handle this matter. She wants you to see for yourself."
Miao Yi furrowed his brows and got down from the couch. Hong Mian hurried over and followed behind him, helping him straighten out his wrinkled clothes. After having intimate contact, she thought it was natural for her to do such things. Otherwise, it would be a little awkward.
As soon as he arrived at the main hall, he saw Yun Zhiqiu sitting calmly with a cup of tea in his hand.
Standing below, Xiang Baiting immediately said in fear, "This humble one greets the Holy Lord!"
However, Miao Yi's gaze fell on the three people kneeling beside him. Mo Ming, Miao Junyi, and Mo Junlan were all kneeling on the ground in a sorry state. Their expressions were filled with grief and indignation, especially Mo Junlan, who had clearly been crying.
"What's the meaning of this?" Miao Yi asked as he sat beside Yun Zhiqiu.
Yun Zhiqiu casually explained it to him. It was nothing more than a matter of the fickleness of human nature and adding insult to injury. Xiang Baiting had actually poisoned his father-in-law's entire family. He didn't even let his own wife off, capturing all of them to claim credit from Miao Yi.
Xiang Baiting didn't know that Miao Yi was the one who released Mo Ming's family of three, but Yun Zhiqiu had heard about it from Miao Yi. Now that they had been captured, she naturally wanted Miao Yi to handle it himself.
As soon as he heard about this matter, it wasn't hard for Miao Yi to guess the reason behind it. He asked, "Miao Junyi, I heard that you were the one who chose this son-in-law. What do you have to say for yourself?"
Miao Junyi's complexion was dark as she said, "I was blind. This is retribution!" The sorrow in her voice was indescribable.
Miao Yi couldn't be bothered to waste his breath. He shouted, "Yan Xiu!"
A figure flashed outside the door. Yan Xiu walked in. Miao Yi pointed at Xiang Baiting and waved him outside.
Yan Xiu walked over without saying a word. He grabbed Xiang Baiting's arm and dragged him outside. Xiang Baiting was still a little confused as to what was going on. He kept looking back in bewilderment. Who knew that as soon as he was dragged out of the door, Yan Xiu would flip his hand and swing his axe. Before Xiang Baiting could react, Yan Xiu raised his hand and chopped down. Pu! Xiang Baiting's head flew off. He didn't even have time to scream before he fell to the ground, twitching.
Miao Junyi's family of three was stunned when they turned around.
"Go get Li Mojin!" Miao Yi called out to Yan Xiu, who was reporting back to him.
Not long after, Li Mojin arrived. When he saw his junior sister and the others kneeling, he wanted to say something but hesitated.
"Give the Junior Brother and Junior Sister the Limitless Great Art's Earthly section to cultivate. Have them guard the Exquisite Refinement Sect well and wait for Yao Ruoxian to return." Miao Yi instructed Yun Zhiqiu, then went back to cultivating.
Simple and crude! Yun Zhiqiu grumbled in his heart, but he understood what Miao Yi meant. Yao Ruoxian refining transcendent artifacts all by himself without any help was indeed tiring. With the help of the Exquisite Refinement Sect's manpower, it couldn't be any better...
Boundless Heaven. Cloudfall Peak. Yang Qing stood alone at the peak of the mountain as he watched Miao Yi and the others fly off into the horizon. The shock in his heart was still indescribable.
Before he left, Miao Yi told him about the outside world, took Qin Weiwei with him, and left him to oversee the small world.
Hong Chen, Ji Meili, Yu Nujiao, and Fa Yin were also taken with him. This was what he had promised the Four Sages. Miao Yi also knew that the Four Sages wanted to place the four of them at his side as his eyes and ears. After taking these four newly married concubines, it would be a little inappropriate to leave Qin Weiwei behind as well...
Miao Yi and his wife were in the middle of the vast starry sky, while Yun Aotian and the others followed on their left and right.
When the first stargate appeared, the sight of the golden shuttle escorting the seven of them through the stargate was an eye-opener for Yun Aotian and the others. It was a shocking sight, and they felt even more insignificant in the face of the starry sky.
After passing through the stargate and arriving at the border of the outside world, Miao Yi had Yun Zhiqiu bring Yun Aotian and the others to Celestial Street to settle down, while he went to the Formless Planet to receive Bao Lian.
After breaking through the atmosphere and landing on a mountain near the Vitality Gate, Miao Yi summoned three people from his beast sack.
They were none other than Yan Beihong, Hong Xiu, and Hong Fu, who had been imprisoned in the Great Devil Realm for many years. The three of them looked rather dispirited. After all, their cultivations had been sealed for far too many years.
Looking around, Yan Beihong asked, "So this is the outside world?"
Miao Yi nodded and said, "I have a good relationship with the Vitality Sect here. Big Brother Yan, you've just been released not too long ago. Why don't you stay here and rest for a while? It won't be too late to take a look around after that."
Yan Beihong was still as carefree as ever. He laughed heartily and said, "Little Brother, I'm not as weak as you think I am. Where are Yun Aotian and the others? Aren't they here as well?" He then looked around.
Miao Yi pondered for a moment and said, "Big Brother Yan, you know about my wife's relationship with Yun Aotian. I still have a use for Yun Aotian and the others. Can you let bygones be bygones and let bygones be bygones?"
Yan Beihong was silent for a moment. In the end, he raised his hand and patted Miao Yi's shoulder. "Even if you don't want to give me any face, you should at least give your sister-in-law some face. Let's not talk about it anymore."
Miao Yi was overjoyed. He quickly led the three of them to the Vitality Gate. Sect Master Yu Ling naturally wouldn't refuse. She settled Yan Beihong and the others in the bamboo forest's courtyard.
Before he left, Miao Yi gave Yan Beihong a set of Amethyst Armor, Hong Xiu and Hong Fu each a set of Amethyst Armor, and a Amethyst Saber for Yan Beihong.
Yun Aotian refused to return Yan Beihong's original saber. He felt that it was too dangerous for Yan Beihong to keep it in his hands. More importantly, he felt that Yan Beihong's demonic arts were too terrifying, and that the saber was worth a lot of money. Yun Aotian wanted to keep it for himself.
After everything was settled, Miao Yi didn't stay long at the Vitality Sect. He left with Bao Lian.
Back at Heaven Street, Miao Yi went straight to the City Guard Palace to inform Madam Bi Yue that he was back.
He hurriedly returned to the Eastern District Governor's Manor and immediately entered the underground tunnel. Yun Zhiqiu was waiting for him in the backyard of the Yun Rong Restaurant.
"Where are the others?" Miao Yi asked.
Yun Zhiqiu looked up the stairs and said, "They are waiting in the Paradise for now. I couldn't persuade your little sister to stay. She insisted on leaving with her master."
Miao Yi raised his hand and slapped his forehead. He had a headache. He didn't know what kind of medicine Yue Yao had taken, or if Mu Fanjun had fed her some kind of magic potion, but whenever she saw him, she would turn her head away and pretend not to see him. She wouldn't even bother talking to him. Mu Fanjun even kept Yue Yao by her side.
"Forget about her! I think she won't stop until she suffers a little! "Miao Yi said angrily. He then went upstairs with Yun Zhiqiu and entered the Paradise.
