Chapter 944: Chapter 0944: He Can’t Drive Her Away
Letting others know about the ‘Shennong Scripture’ would put Luo Yang’s life in constant danger.
Jealousy is a universal human flaw.
Sothing as incredible as the ‘Shennong Scripture’—who wouldn’t want to possess it?
Even a major power like the Eight Immortals Hall would likely go all out to demand it if they found out Luo Yang carried the ‘Shennong Scripture’ within him.
“I’ll tell you later,” Luo Yang replied dismissively.
Gu Xue understood her place and didn’t press further.
“I, along with my two sisters, have entrusted our entire lives to you. Don’t… hey! Stop blowing smoke at !”
“Haha, Sister Xue, sticking with , I promise you’ll never be wronged.”
While he said so, Luo Yang’s heart was a complex mix of emotions.
Truthfully, he didn’t lack beautiful won in his life.
Even though the three Gu sisters offered themselves up willingly, Luo Yang wasn’t daring enough to accept them.
After all, taking their bodies would an taking on their burdens as well.
It was too overwhelming—just the re thought of it was suffocating, let alone actually committing to it.
“Wherever you go in the future, we’ll follow you. Hey, don’t laugh! Isn’t there a saying, ‘marry a rooster, follow the rooster, marry… mmph mmph—’
Before Gu Xue could finish, Luo Yang sealed her lips with his own.
Strangely, Gu Xue seed to enjoy this and didn’t push his head away.
After their lips parted, Luo Yang advised, “Sister Xue, it’s better for you all to stay where you are.”
Hearing this, Gu Xue got annoyed. “Hey! What do you an? Do you want to fool around with us and then ditch us?”
Luo Yang gave a bitter smile.
He had only kissed them, hadn’t even made love to them.
To say he was “playing” with them seed like an exaggeration.
But to these maidenly young won, even a kiss was a serious matter.
They had given their first kisses to Luo Yang; though their bodies had not been taken, they already cared deeply for him.
“Wife, you’re overthinking this. What I an is, staying where you are will arouse less suspicion.”
“Hey, you’re just trying to dump us, aren’t you? Keep dreaming!”
Luo Yang wasn’t trying to cut ties with them; he simply couldn’t imagine how to explain things to Tang Guihua and An Yuying if he brought the Gu sisters back to the Hongyun Brigade.
If the three Gu sisters found out Luo Yang already had wives back ho and threw a fit, it’d be a ss.
Moreover, Zhang Jing, along with the two mbers from Jiuyang Hall, was also at the Hongyun Brigade.
If the Gu sisters unintentionally revealed their true identities to their enemies, their lives would be at great risk.
Talking to the Gu sisters about the backgrounds of Zhang Jing or those two wouldn’t go well, either.
Any eting between the three Gu sisters and Zhang Jing or the Jiuyang pair would almost certainly end in hostility.
Given Zhang Jing and the Jiuyang pair’s astuteness, they’d easily grow suspicious of the Gu sisters’ origins.
Bottom line: the Gu sisters weren’t suited to living in the Hongyun Brigade.
But for various reasons, Luo Yang couldn’t explain all this to Gu Xue.
There was no point wasting his breath.
Gu Xue was currently entrenched in her own perspective and wouldn’t listen to anyone else’s reasoning.
“I’m only thinking of your well-being. I live in the countryside, and the conditions there can’t compare to the city. I’m afraid you won’t be able to adapt,” Luo Yang said tactfully.
“Oh, so you think we can’t endure hardships?” Gu Xue retorted with a cold laugh.
Seeing Luo Yang remain silent with a slight smile, Gu Xue continued speaking.
“Living in the countryside cos with fresh air and peace. I actually enjoy that. Hey, what are you laughing at? I’m being serious.”
Even as she said this, she extended her hand to playfully smack Luo Yang’s back, making a distinct thudding sound.
“Wife, be gentle! If you hit that hard, you might kill soone!”
“Haha, and that’s what you get for underestimating us. Hey, we’re tougher than you think.”
From what Gu Xue was saying, she clearly wanted to follow Luo Yang no matter where he went in the future.
And that was where things got really troubleso.
If the three Gu sisters insisted on going to the Hongyun Brigade, major conflicts seed inevitable.
Forget what might happen if they encountered Zhang Jing and the Jiuyang pair—just their interactions with the two local village beauties would be enough to trigger chaos.
The Gu sisters might assu Hong Jiaxin was truly Luo Yang’s senior wife. And having seen her, since Hong Jiaxin didn’t express any objections, they might think everything was fine.
What they wouldn’t realize is that Luo Yang’s senior wife was still back in his old rural ho.
With the fiery tempers of the Gu sisters, if they found out about the “senior wife of senior wives,” it’s unlikely they’d let it slide without kicking up a fuss.
An Yuying might not argue with the sisters right away, but Tang Guihua would be a different story.
Though Tang Guihua wasn’t exactly a tomboy, she’d definitely argue head-on with the Gu sisters.
Unless the Gu sisters were willing to accept secondary roles, the situation would surely explode.
But Luo Yang would bear the brunt of it. Bringing three new wives ho without discussing it with the two village beauties first—there’s no way it wouldn’t end in disaster for him.
Thus, it was best not to bring the three Gu sisters to the Hongyun Brigade at all.
Luo Yang had no choice but to continue persuading, “Wife, you’ve grown accustod to city life. It’s better to stay in Tianjiang City, and I’ll make frequent trips to see you.”
Gu Xue jabbed her elbow into Luo Yang’s, annoyed. “Hey! We’re your wives, not so mistresses you keep on the side. What do you take us for?!”
Hearing her say this so earnestly, Luo Yang found himself at a loss for words.
Taking the three Gu sisters with him would’ve been fine if they were willing to agree to two conditions.
First, they couldn’t compete for his attention with the two village beauties. And second, they had to promise not to imdiately clash with Zhang Jing and the Jiuyang pair if they encountered them.
These seed like simple conditions on the surface but were, in fact, nearly impossible to enforce.
Though Luo Yang had only just gotten to know the three sisters, he could tell they weren’t the type of won to submissively endure unfavorable circumstances.
Especially with Gu Xue and Gu Yun—those two would surely fight back against any injustice they faced.
After thinking it over, Luo Yang decided it’d still be better if they didn’t accompany him.
The special nature of the Gu sisters’ identities worried Luo Yang. If word got out to factions like the Eight Immortals Hall, it’d be no laughing matter.
Holding Gu Xue’s soft, curvaceous body and catching her faint, maidenly fragrance was undoubtedly intoxicating.
If he could set aside all concerns and simply enjoy her physically, it’d be a delightful choice.
But Luo Yang wasn’t the type to act irresponsibly. Once he shared that kind of intimacy with them, he wouldn’t be able to abandon them to die.
At that point, he’d be compelled to help them, and given the current circumstances, the outco would likely be unfavorable.
Even if they sohow survived, they’d still be hanging by a thread.
Avenging their enemies wasn’t Luo Yang’s personal vendetta, so naturally, his hatred didn’t run as deep as Gu Xue’s.
He didn’t dare persuade her to give up her revenge plans either, as that’d likely provoke an imdiate outburst and sour things between them.
Luo Yang exhaled a cloud of smoke toward Gu Xue’s lovely face, and she grabbed his cigarette to toss it away.
“Hey! Do that again, and I won’t go easy on you.”
“Wife, I smoke, I drink, and occasionally, I… hehe, I gamble too. Do you even know what a bad man looks like? That’s ,” Luo Yang teased.
He half expected Gu Xue to say sothing like, “I’ve clearly judged you wrong.”
To his surprise, she replied, “Hey, so what? I just like guys like you. I’m not interested in anyone else!”
This…
Luo Yang could only let out a bitter laugh. He had hoped to scare Gu Xue off, but instead, she seed even more determined.
“Wife, don’t think I’m joking—I really do have a lot of flaws!” Luo Yang said sternly.
“What man doesn’t? Show one man in this world without flaws,” Gu Xue said, countering with a question of her own.
