With quite a bit of time left before the Sword World opened, Jian Shen had no problems with attending the Auction of Five Centuries to pass his time until then.
Therefore, after paying the receptionist and obtaining one courtyard in the same hotel that Zheng Niu's parents were in, Jian Shen originally had planned on spending his days while cultivation until the auction finally started.
But such thoughts didn't last long after Wuying, Yu Yan, and Suyin came out of the World Crest and started living there with him.
Especially, once Meilin herself came over and began acting like a caring mother in law who wanted nothing more than to take care of her son in law, Jian Shen was felt with no time to try and cultivate.
Despite being surrounded by so many beautiful women but unable to have sex with any of them due to the current situation, Jian Shen felt that it would've better if he was alone instead.
After all, just looking at beautiful women wasn't enough for someone like Jian Shen.
Not to mention what so many women would do once they were gathered in the same place. They kept on sharing past stories, gossiping about others, and so on.
What surprised Jian Shen was how up to date Wuying and the others were with the events of the world despite being inside the World Crest for so long.
And if Jian Shen tried to leave the room and just go out on a stroll to clear his head, all of the women would gang up and say that he only cared about their bodies and wasn't interested in talking with them.
In hindsight, however, Jian Shen actually appreciated that they forced him to stay back.
Not because of how he appreciated that the women spoke about, but because something special had happened not long after he decided to not go out.
With someone knocking on the door, Jian Shen was about to open the door when every other woman in the room stood up and glared towards each other.
Sitting back down while feeling curious to see what they would do, Jian Shen saw that each of them looked very eager to be the one who would open the door.
He didn't know what it was that was motivating those women, but whatever happened would definitely be better than listening to them talk about him when he was right there.
"I'm the one who knows him for the longest."
"I'm his one and only future mother in law."
"He helped cure me from a deadly illness, so I need to pay him back."
While all of them were debating over who it would be that would open the door, Suyin herself walked near the door and opened it while shaking her head.
Once the door was opened, all of the women instantly turned silent and sat back down in their seats trying to look as elegant and graceful as possible to whoever it was that was on the other side of the door.
"Ummm... Is Jian Shen here?"
"He is, but who are you?"
Unlike Jian Shen who couldn't see what was happening, the other women in the room could see it due which they nodded their heads to show that they wanted an answer to the same question.
"I'm... I'm his wife!"
Hearing those words, it was Jian Shen who sprung to his feet with pure shock in his eyes.
"I'm married?"
Glaring towards Jian Shen who seemed to be in a mode to joke even in this situation, the women were no longer seated and instead walked near the door and quickly surrounded whoever it was that had knocked on the door.
Very soon Jian Shen could hear the sound of sobbing due to which he was no longer able to stay inside the room.
Making his way through the women, Jian Shen saw a little girl who was continuously sobbing while trying to make her eyes stop crying.
"She's my wife?"
With the women nodding their heads while sharing the same confusion, Jian Shen who never really dealt with little kids had no idea on what to do.
Stepping up to the task, Wuying who wanted to show off that she was the most motherly woman of everyone gathered there, gently patted the girls head and was about to say something when the little girl began crying even more loudly.
Invoking a wave of laughter from the others, Wuying who had a red face stepped back while the little girl who saw Jian Shen's face through her tear-filled eyes jumped and hugged him by the neck.
"Wai.. "
It was around that time that they saw a lady running towards them with an anxious look on her face.
"Mommy!"
Letting go of Jian Shen's neck and running towards the woman, the little girl began pointing at the women around Jian Shen as if they had kidnapped her.
"I'm so sorry that she disturbed you, we were just looking for Ji.. JIAN SHEN!!!"
Unlike the little girl who got too scared to speak, her mother properly explained about everything.
Turns out that they were a noble family from the Wu Yun Continent, and since they were on the Sword Island and heard that Jian Shen was there as well, the woman's daughter rushed off to try and find him after learning that they were in the same hotel.
Once she finished explaining herself, the woman once again apologized for her daughter who might have done something when she unconsciously touched Jian Shen's arms and said that he was much more handsome and strong than he looked in those portraits.
Sighing from no artist there to draw a portrait of her with Jian Shen, the woman asked for a kiss to remember this encounter of theirs.
But since her daughter and so many other women were there with them, she asked for a kiss on the cheek and not a more intimate one.
When everything was finished, the two of them left while waving their hands towards Jian Shen while saying, "Bye Jian Shen, bye aunties!"
