Four?
Four what?
[Exploding Tentacle Monster: Bro, what does that an? Can you clarify?]
However, Old Six did not reply, not even a single word.
No matter how Lin Qianxuan asked, he would not answer.
Lin Qianxuan sighed. He had a nagging feeling in his heart; it seed like he really was chosen by so big shot to be a pawn.
He didn't mind being used, especially when the pay was high.
The question now was, what was Old Six's purpose?
And what exactly did the "4" an?
Four more simulations?
Or perhaps, he had four more won to win over?
Lin Qianxuan thought it was probably both.
He already had four girlfriends; to add four more...
Were they really going to turn him into an octopus?
[Exploding Tentacle Monster: Bro, that's just my online na. I'm called Tentacle Monster, it doesn't an I actually want to be an octopus!]
With no response from Old Six, Lin Qianxuan stared at his phone screen in a daze.
As his cultivation progressed, he beca increasingly aware of the power of the "String of Destiny."
Even at the Great Dao level of cultivation, one could never simulate and deduce across many worlds, stealing power from the tides of destiny.
Such thods were beyond imagination.
Old Six certainly didn't just want to see him in chaos; his strategy was rely a façade, suggesting a deeper aning or task he had been assigned.
This task was likely sothing he couldn't refuse.
After three simulations of the "String of Destiny," Lin Qianxuan couldn't refuse any of them.
The first ti, Chen Long'Er leveraged Lin Qianxuan's desire to step into the Extraordinary World.
The second ti, with the Gongsun sisters, Lin Qianxuan was worried about the impure energy invading Earth, so he hesitated but ultimately took the risk.
The third ti involved Zhang Juan, his childhood friend who was about to face a crisis, and he had no choice but to intervene.
Every ti, the "String of Destiny" gave Lin Qianxuan an undeniable reason to simulate and embark on the journey of destiny.
Every ti he pursued a goal, his starting point was barely justifiable to his conscience.
If he wanted to shirk responsibility, he could bla everything on the "String of Destiny" and claim he was forced onto the path of building a harem.
Of course, Lin Qianxuan felt that one should be responsible for their choices, even if they were choices he had to make.
"Four more?" Lin Qianxuan murmured.
He sighed again, closed his eyes, and began a period of dormant cultivation.
When the cart gets to the mountain, there will be a way; when the boat reaches the bridge, it will go straight across.
Let's just go with this!
.....
The next morning, after awakening from his dormant state, Lin Qianxuan saw Chen Long'Er and Zhang Juan chatting happily at the table.
Of course, it was mostly Zhang Juan who was talking and laughing, as Chen Long'Er still seed a bit uneasy.
"Have you had breakfast?" Lin Qianxuan asked.
"No," Zhang Juan shook her head and said, "Xiao Xuan, what do you want to eat? I can make it for you."
"No hurry. I need to go to the Qingling World today. Do you want to co along?" Lin Qianxuan asked Zhang Juan and Chen Long'Er.
He mainly focused on Chen Long'Er because he knew she always preferred to avoid the Gongsun sisters.
"Let's go together!" Zhang Juan nodded.
Lin Qianxuan looked at Chen Long'Er. She hesitated for a mont, then nodded, "Mm."
"Then rest in here for now, and I'll take you out when I cross over," Lin Qianxuan said as he activated the Qiankun Space entrance for them.
Zhang Juan, holding Chen Long'Er, got up directly and took her inside. As Chen Long'Er entered the Qiankun Space, she shot a complex look at Lin Qianxuan.
Lin Qianxuan closed the entrance to the Qiankun Space and sighed slightly.
He knew that once again, Chen Long'Er had forgiven him.
But he felt that he himself could hardly forgive himself.
The guilt was too overwhelming.
And this guilt could still happen four more tis.
Perhaps it was ti to have an honest talk with her.
As Zhang Juan said, avoiding the issue really wasn't the way to solve it.
The balance he thought he maintained was just a bubble of illusion ready to burst.
With a thought, Lin Qianxuan vanished from where he stood, traveling through to the Qingling World.
-----------------
Qingling World.
The Imperial Palace of Zhang City.
With a sweep of his Divine Thought, Lin Qianxuan quickly located the Gongsun sisters. Gongsun Ying was reviewing docunts, while Gongsun Yue was unusually not working, instead cultivating using the Void Spirit Tower.
With a teleportation, Lin Qianxuan appeared beside Gongsun Ying.
Gongsun Ying was the first to react, instinctively raising her hand for a strike.
"Boom~!"
Lin Qianxuan gently grasped, absorbing Gongsun Ying's palm energy and divine energy, easily neutralizing what should have shattered half the palace.
"My lord? You've exited seclusion!!"
Gongsun Ying bead with joy and embraced Lin Qianxuan.
For Lin Qianxuan, this ti travel was only a month in Earth ti, but here, over a year had passed.
"It's been a year, Ying'Er, your cultivation has improved a lot too. If that palm had landed on the great hall, the craftsn would've had to put in many more days of hard work," Lin Qianxuan said, gently stroking her back and smiling.
"My lord, why didn't you say you were coming out of seclusion beforehand? A sudden figure appearing beside really scared ," Gongsun Ying said, looking at Lin Qianxuan.
"Then I apologize," Lin Qianxuan smiled.
"Is it just an apology?" Gongsun Ying gazed at Lin Qianxuan.
The eagerness in her eyes almost overflowed.
The longing after more than a year manifested at this mont.
Lin Qianxuan could not refuse such enthusiasm.
Imdiately, he left the office where Gongsun Ying was revising docunts and went to her resting quarters.
After spending so ti comforting Gongsun Ying, Lin Qianxuan went to see Gongsun Yue.
Gongsun Yue ended her cultivation state and was delighted to see Lin Qianxuan.
Her cultivation wasn't bad now, having reached the late Divine Manifestation stage, equating to about the Seventh Heaven in Earth's terms.
Though not as advanced as Gongsun Ying's Celestial Rank Eight Heaven, the innate talent between them had a fundantal difference.
Gongsun Ying's [Endless Divine Sea] was more combat and cultivation-oriented, while Gongsun Yue's [Eyes of Death] leaned toward support.
"My lord, you seem to have sothing on your mind?" Gongsun Yue asked, her face pressed against Lin Qianxuan's chest.
Her perception was strong, and Lin Qianxuan wasn't deliberately hiding his emotions in front of her, so she always detected his little emotions.
"I'm planning to bring Long'Er and the others to et you," Lin Qianxuan said, "but I'm afraid you might not get along well."
Hearing this, Gongsun Yue felt a bit aggrieved and said, "My lord, what do you an by them?"
Lin Qianxuan had said before that he only had one other companion, but now he used them, naturally making Gongsun Yue uncomfortable.
Of course, her discomfort was because of Lin Qianxuan's secrecy, not because he was unfaithful.
In fact, in Gongsun Yue's heart, a figure like Lin Qianxuan, comparable to the Emperor Shenwu, having three or five beauties was only natural.
"I have a childhood sweetheart I haven't seen for a long ti. This ti she encountered so issues, so I rescued her, and then she offered herself to ..."
Lin Qianxuan briefly explained the matter with Zhang Juan.
After listening, Gongsun Yue nodded and said, "This Miss Zhang has sincere feelings and significant loyalty towards you, my lord. It's a good thing if you and she can achieve a good match. My sister and I are not the jealous type. You're not worried about this, are you, my lord?"
"My innate talent is special, you know? I feel that you four might not be my end..." Lin Qianxuan said tactfully.
"My lord refers to that ability where loving a woman genuinely can gain her talent..." Gongsun Yue prompted with understanding, "Does my lord plan to form bonds with other won?"
Lin Qianxuan nodded slightly, sowhat embarrassed.
"My lord is indeed greedy!" Gongsun Yue said helplessly, "But still, please try to restrain yourself, my lord. If there are too many sisters, you may not be able to focus, and soone will inevitably get neglected, putting you in a difficult position."
"And you, what do you think?"
Lin Qianxuan curiously looked at Gongsun Yue, who rely gave a slight complaint before even offering him a suggestion.
"From the mont you saved and my sister from catastrophe, Yue'Er made her decision," Gongsun Yue said seriously, her empty eyes sensing Lin Qianxuan, "No matter what you beco, Yue'Er will stay with you for life and death."
"Isn't that a bit too heavy..." Lin Qianxuan said, feeling a bit guilty.
"When you fought against the God of Turbidity, didn't you gamble with your life too?" Gongsun Yue caressed Lin Qianxuan's cheek and said, "I know, my lord never wanted to, but you did to save my sister and , sacrificing to rescue this world. So now Yue'Er also wants to repay my lord with my life's survival."
Lin Qianxuan had to admit, Gongsun Yue was far more heartfelt than Gongsun Ying.
He couldn't help but feel a little moved now.
"My lord?!"
Gongsun Yue was suddenly startled, sensing Lin Qianxuan rging in again.
Even though it just...
In the end, Gongsun Yue smiled, kissed Lin Qianxuan's lips, and whispered in his ear, "Please take care, my lord..."
.....
.....
In the main hall of a separate courtyard in the Imperial Palace of Zhang Country.
Lin Qianxuan sat in the center, with Gongsun Ying and a slightly flushed Gongsun Yue in casual clothes to his left, and Chen Long'Er and Zhang Juan to his right.
The table was filled with various Zhang Country delicacies, and Gongsun Ying and Gongsun Yue occasionally added dishes for Chen Long'Er and Zhang Juan, introducing the local customs and culture, playing the role of hosts quite well.
At the sa ti, they chatted about how they got to know Lin Qianxuan.
It was only then they learned about the kind of monuntal deeds Lin Qianxuan accomplished during his growth.
From erging green, facing life threats directly, to scheming and stalling for ti, finally transforming into a dragon to break the Ni Country's conspiracy and save Chen Long'Er, the new generation's Dragon Bloodline.
Then, transcending to the Otherworld, ingeniously calculating, and enduring life-and-death battles with unprecedented formidable enemies, halting the calamity and saving the Gongsun sisters and this world.
Finally, rescuing Zhang Juan on the Supre Star, erasing the grand presence controlling the entire civilization, rescuing a budding interstellar civilization from its clutches, and forever freeing Zhang Juan from its threat.
Each of these three deeds was more legendary than the last.
After hearing these, they all felt mutual understanding.
For Lin Qianxuan had truly given his all for them, and no normal woman could withstand such a pursuit!!
