"You've been plotting this for a long ti, haven't you, Tao Qili, you shaless woman."
"You're a married lady."
"To think you'd force yourself upon my husband while alone with him."
Hua Siqing gritted her teeth in anger.
She had instantly guessed the truth of the matter—it had to be this shaless woman who instigated the seduction.
Otherwise, how could her own husband have fallen into her trap, given his character?
"My husband has been dead for thousands of years, having been reincarnated countless tis."
"And you still call shaless."
"When you rose to your position, didn't you do the sa thing?"
"Your thods were hardly any more clever than mine."
Tao Qili looked down on Hua Siqing with utter disdain.
She was well aware of the tactics this woman had used to rise to power, also akin to forcing her way through, creating an accident that led to a fait accompli and pressured the other party into marrying her.
If it weren't for such thods, how could Master Zhou have taken fancy to such a foolish woman?
"My husband and I were mutually willing, the ans are not important, the outco is what matters."
"We have respected each other as guests and have been as close as glue for many years—what's wrong with that?"
"On the other hand, you're just an old woman, clearly robbing the cradle."
"Do you still have no sha?"
"So many n out there and you just had to covet my husband."
Hua Siqing was so furious she felt like biting the woman fiercely.
Just the thought of her man being defiled by this jerk ignited a rage within her that she couldn't suppress.
This was also due to her own lack of caution.
She was well aware of how vicious and despicable the won outside could be, ready to resort to any ans to snag a good man.
It was only a mont of negligence, after all, that allowed Tao Qili to succeed.
"What rubbish about robbing the cradle—all of us are cultivators, age is simply not an issue here."
"You're not so young yourself, several thousand years old, so stop pretending to be young and innocent here."
"Look at you and Master Zhou, you've been together so long and not a single child—could it be that you are barren?"
"If you can't bear children, let another woman do it."
Tao Qili said with contempt.
"You know nothing."
"My husband's bloodline is special; it is quite normal for it to be difficult to produce offspring."
"Yet here you are, a widow, brazenly marrying my husband. Aren't you afraid of losing face and being pointed at by thousands?"
Hua Siqing clenched her fists.
"I am the acting City Lord of Fengxi City and a cultivator at the Refining Void Fulfillnt stage—who would dare gossip about ?"
Tao Qili looked indifferent, with an attitude that clearly intended to use her power to oppress others.
That was the power she wielded—if anyone dared to speak ill of her, she'd make things difficult for them.
"Enough now, enough."
"Sister Qili, Sister Siqing."
"Since our husband likes both of you, why not just marry him together?"
"After all, we are all good sisters, and having the sa husband is also a good thing."
"At the very least, we won't have to separate."
Seeing the situation, Bai Sujie imdiately hugged her two sisters to prevent them from fighting.
Each of them was as close to her as a sister, and she couldn't bear to see any of them get hurt.
"Can you even accept such a thing?"
Tao Qili looked complexly at Bai Sujie.
"What's there not to accept? Isn't it common for a man to have multiple wives and concubines?"
"Our husband currently has but three partners, which is already quite few."
"Where else do you see a Cultivator of the Void Refining with so few spouses?"
"Besides, it's Sister Tao, who is family. This is even better, it's like adding kin."
"This way, we will all be even more so one family."
Bai Sujie waved her hand, quite open-minded about the whole thing, and saw it as a positive developnt.
She had wanted to live together with Tao Qili anyway.
Now, it naturally followed that they would beco one family.
After all, living in the Shattered Star Sea in the future, they might never have the chance to return to the Azure Dragon Continent.
The peers would have to rely on each other here.
So, becoming even closer kin was in fact a blessing.
It would prevent disputes over interests that could harm their harmony in the future.
"Hmph, consider yourself lucky; since Su Jie recognizes your position, I will allow you to join the Zhou family," Hua Siqing folded her arms. She had been rely upset before, not really opposed to Tao Qili joining the family.
On the contrary, Tao Qili's marriage into the family would be a great advantage for the Zhou family, a significant boost in strength.
After all, the Tao family held a high status in Fengxi City and wielded considerable influence.
This was the union of two powerful forces.
"Who needs your permission."
"But since it's decided, from now on, we are all one family."
Upon hearing this, Tao Qili couldn't help but reveal a slight smile on her face.
Although she had anticipated the outco of the situation due to Bai Sujie's character, she still took a deep breath of relief after receiving Bai Sujie's acknowledgnt.
Given that Bai Sujie was now the queen, the first to marry into the Zhou family, naturally her status was lofty.
Only with the queen's approval could her position be rightfully affird.
Before long, the news that Tao Qili had married into the Zhou family as Zhou Sui's third partner quickly spread throughout Fengxi City, becoming known to many Refining Void Clans imdiately.
When many Cultivators of the Void Refining heard the news, they were dumbfounded.
No matter how they imagined it, it was hard to believe that such a thing could happen.
"No way, could Sister Tao, the widow, have really married Zhou Daoyou? That's outrageous. Wasn't it said that Sister Tao was dedicated to the path of cultivation and uninterested in matters of n and won? How could she suddenly change her mind like that?"
