"Don't say nonsense," Zhu Ming squeezed out in a low voice but was secretly feeling pleased inwardly. No one had ever said such words to her before. Most of them feared her too much to even say casual jokes around her, much less try flirting with her.
Only her little sister, who was several hundred years younger, was able to talk freely with her; this was why she had bothered to tell Leon about the custom of the Zhu family instead of directing him to the Zhu family head and letting them deal with it.
Of course, so people admired her and lusted after her; she was aware of this. But not many of them were bold enough to tell her directly and tried to show it with their actions, Zhu Ming noticed this but always remained indifferent.
As for those who were bold enough to speak up, like the bald General who got angry after Leon chose her, they were too serious and didn't bother playing with words.
Why act so seriously with her all the ti? She was a woman, after all, and still wanted to be told sweet words!
"It's not nonsense, I'm being honest. Any man would be happy to have you in their life. I'm just lucky to have gotten this opportunity, it saves the process of gradually getting close to you, which I won't even dare to because of your identity, and that's even if I had the opportunity to get close." Leon stated with an honest expression on his face.
The two talked for a bit, and Leon continued to fill Zhu Ming's head with sweet words; his tongue was very smooth, and his wordplay was top-tier; it didn't take long before he managed to make Zhu Ming, who was indifferent most of the tis to have a small smile plastered on her face.
After a while of sweet talking, Zhu Ming moved back to serious topics. She began to talk about her experience with n and with not much of a surprise, she had zero experience in this regard.
"Since the custom of my family already acknowledges you as a mber of the family and my husband, although I do not have any feelings for you, I'm willing to slowly cultivate those feelings. I do not wish for a family with a stiff relationship, not even if we ca together under such circumstances.
I want to build a happy ho where we can support each other and be happy." Zhu Ming revealed her dream relationship with Leon. She wanted to build a ho where her status and strength would be ignored and she would be treated like the woman that she was and cared for as one.
Her words and insight shocked Leon. Ignoring the fact that she was thick-skinned enough to say all of these, her ideal future ho left Leon stunned. No one would expect the white General of the Cloud Dew Dynasty to actually have such a vision, to be pampered and adored like an ordinary woman.
Most would just assu that won like Zhu Ming would want to be the protagonist of their marriage and not be controlled or told what to do.
Instead, Zhu Ming actually wanted to be a listening wife who would rely on her husband and be spoiled by him. She wanted to be showered with love and care!
'I wonder what inspired her to want such a marriage life,' Leon thought to himself but didn't get distracted from what Zhu Ming was saying.
After she finished speaking, she asked Leon what he thought about her idea while pouring him another cup of tea.
"I totally agree with your idea; I feel like all won deserve such treatnt. Won are delicate creatures, even powerful ones, they should be cherished and cared for.
I promise to do my best to accomplish that!" Leon announced as he poured the tea down his throat.

Zhu Ming cracked a smile.
"n can say words easily but I have no choice but to believe you on this matter. I hope you don't forget your promise in the long run." She said softly.
Leon placed a hand on his chest and declared that he was a very honest person and wouldn't lie to her. On this note, Leon rembered sothing and decided to tell Zhu Ming.
"There's sothing I want to tell you." Leon's voice was low and almost passed as a whisper, but Zhu Ming was a level 9 powerhouse, so she naturally heard him, so she asked him to go one.
After a bit of hesitation, Leon finally sighed before announcing that he had other affairs.
Zhu Ming "..."
She was stunned, speechless, and could only stare at Leon.
Leon didn't say anything else as well; he was staring at the teapot on the table while waiting for Zhu Ming to speak.
After a few seconds of silence that felt like an eternity, Zhu Ming finally broke through it with a sigh.
"It can't be helped, mbers of the Zhu family are always prepared for things like. How do you plan to break the news to her?" Zhu Ming asked.
Leon scratched his neck in awkwardness after listening to her. He was a bit surprised that she accepted the fact that he had another affair, but the issue was that she was misunderstanding sothing.
It wasn't "she" because there was more than one.
"There are three of them and all of them already know about you," Leon said in a low tone.
Zhu Ming "..."
She was once again left tongue-tied by Leon's words. Just who was this guy? Her view of Leon imdiately changed. At first glance, Leon looked like an innocent young man with extrely handso features; he was like an immortal who could not be tainted by worldly pleasure.
But at the mont, she felt that her impression of Leon had been wrong; she didn't expect him to actually have three won in his life already when he looked so innocent.
After a short while, Zhu Ming took a deep breath and said that it still didn't matter. The custom of the Zhu family didn't allow them to decide their partners once chosen and they could only hope to be treated nicely.
After all, situations where geniuses of their family were saved by married n had happened in the past. The Zhu family possibly couldn't force the man to leave his family for their daughter.
Moreover, having multiple won was a common practice in the martial arts world so it wasn't a big deal.
"You said that they already know about , that ans that they're here in Gulu plain. Who are they? I would like to et them." Zhu Ming voiced out.
Leon secretly breathed a sigh of relief; he was glad that Zhu Ming was such an open-minded person and accepted things without complicating them.
"Of course, they're my Master. Quin Xuxu, my elder sister, Bai Quing, and the white fox, Fengxu." Leon answered.
Zhu Ming "..."
Once again, Zhu Ming was stunned by Leon's words. She was unable to control herself this ti and a look of bewildernt flashed on her face for a split second.
The grand elder of the Falcon sect, the sect mistress, and that ranked fox are all his won? He literally has the strongest mbers of the sect in his harem, no wonder he can be the only male in a female sect.
Zhu Ming only remained stunned for a while before quickly calming down. She rembered seeing the three won that Leon ntioned the previous day when she told Leon about the customs of the Zhu family. She recalled how they tried to stop Leon from obeying the custom of the Zhu family but had thought that they were simply trying to protect him.
Now it made sense if they were his won, they would naturally try to prevent other won from approaching him.
"Since they're the ones, then it should make things easier." Zhu Ming said and Leon nodded in agreent. The main issue they had before had been Zhu Ming's possible reaction after learning about Fengxu and the others, since she accepted their existence without making a fuss, the others naturally had no problem as long as she didn't try to take him all for herself.
As for why Leon didn't include Lin Shuran when he inford Zhu Ming about the others, he didn't know either. Maybe he was keeping his relationship with her a secret because even Bai Quing and the others were not aware of it yet.
Leon could feel that he was weaving a dangerous web of secrets by keeping Lin Shuran hidden from the rest of his won and that secret might end up tangling him up one day.
He'll need to hide his relationship with Lin Shuran forever if he doesn't want to be caught in this web of secrets. Moreover, it was only for twenty years before he returned to the real world.
"Sigh, I wish I could go back with all of them; I'll have to see how things go," Leon mumbled to himself in a low voice.
"What was that?" Zhu Ming's voice woke him up from his daze, he forgot for a mont that he was still in her tent.
"Ah, it was nothing. Where were we?"
