"Xifeng, Meirong, long time no see. You seen very tired, want to rest a little?"
No longer playing the guqin, Lifen other than feeling awkward from sitting on Jian Shen's lap in front of the two unknown women, also felt disappointed from realizing that the time for Jian Shen to leave had come.
Also, since these two women were so strong with one of them being equal to herself in strength, Lifen couldn't help but turn nervous at the fact that Jian Shen might find better women than herself.
In the end, though she didn't say anything and just continued sitting there while Xifeng and Meirong glared at her.
"Do you know how worried we were, I.. "
Unable to finish her words, Xifeng despite knowing that neither of the swords that she and Meirong obtained from Jian Shen were normal, saw something which she didn't think was possible.
With bright light flashing from them, the two black and white swords disappeared and got replaced with something else entirely.
Standing in front of them right now were two women who looked so beautiful, that they didn't seem like mortals and rather goddesses who descended from the heavens.
And it wasn't just those two, but even Lifen was surprised from what happened.
Even though she knew that one of the two swords was the Myriad God Sword, she who had never even heard her Holdy Guqin talk to her found it near impossible to believe that the sword had just turned into a real-life breathing woman.
"Husband!"
Jumping forward and pushing the stunned fox woman aside, Juewang couldn't help but start crying as she hugged Jian Shen.
"Don't ever leave me again husband! I missed you so much that I... Uwaaaa..."
Looking towards Qingyu in surprise since he couldn't understand what was happening, Jian Shen only saw her shrug and mouth, 'She was scared of losing you once again.'.
Smiling and patting the crying Juewang's head, Jian Shen was about to say something when Qingyu also jumped and hugged him.
"What are... "
"I missed you too, Jian Shen! Why would you even throw us away to help those women! What would you have done if that beast ate you instead of carrying you away? You... Are too reckless!"
Unable to believe their eyes as the two of them had heard their voices a lot in the past few days, Meirong and Xifeng also wanted to turn into swords if it meant that they'd be able to look just as beautiful as the other two.
Lifen, however, could only silently leave while looking towards Jian Shen with nervousness since she wasn't someone who enjoyed being with many people.
Spotting this, Jian Shen could only smile wryly since he couldn't go to her even though he wanted to because Qingyu and Juewang didn't look like they would stop crying anytime soon.
"Stop crying like little kids the two of you. I'm completely fine."
Not letting go of Jian Shen despite his multiple attempts to make them feel at ease, the two women kept on hugging him making it impossible for Xifeng and Meirong to say anything.
Guessing that they weren't going to stop anytime soon, Jian Shen could only continue patting both of their backs and look towards Meirong and Xifeng.
"What about you two?"
Understanding the question, Xifeng and Meirong despite having different ideas jumped and hugged Jian Shen.
Though it was actually Qingyu and Juewang that the two women hugged from the back, they felt that it was fine since his hands were touching them.
Feeling lucky that the chair wasn't made from some weak material and rather such strong bamboo that it didn't break even when there were five of them, Jian Shen could only helplessly look at Lifen who was standing in the distance.
...
Staying true to his words, after Jian Shen made the four women calm down and told them the entire story of what happened since the time he fell down the cliff, he took the bamboo house and Lifen inside the World Crest and placed it at a location where no one usually visited.
This was because all of the other women lived in the same place and rarely went around flying or walking through the entire World Crest.
"Since those two beauties found you, are you so keen on getting rid of me already?"
Shaking his head since he knew that Lifen didn't really mean those words and was just bitter, Jian Shen hugged her and asked, "How is this place?"
Looking at the plain grass scenery with an artificial pond beside the house Jian Shen brought inside the World Crest, Lifen said, "It's fine. Do you want me to stay here forever and wait until you feel like coming and visit me?"
"If it was possible, I'd love to take you with me. But, you wouldn't like that, would you?"
Not saying anything, Lifen could only look Jian Shen in the eyes as she wrapped her tails around his back and made him hug her tighter.
"You won't forget about me, will you?"
"Is that even possible?"
Pouting since Jian Shen never answered her straightforwardly, Lifen said, "If you forget about me, I'll make sure to cut your dick off!"
After laughing at the threat, Jian Shen left the World Crest to find four impatient women waiting for him.
"I don't remember you ever treating me so well."
"Me either."
While Xifeng and Meirong commented how they felt, the other two only glared at him and turned back into their Sword forms and allowed Jian Shen to hold them and remember how it felt like when he had them with him.
