"Just put in the hot seat and already doing what Void was reluctant to do. I can tell that you're going to go even further than I had originally thought. A shame I don't have a disciple in my Sect to marry to you as well." Martial Beast Great Emperor sighed, and then glanced at Li Wu Yi and Jiu Feng.
Jiu Feng quickly shot another glare back at Martial Beast. A glare that basically said "Back off, if you know what's good for you". A few people chuckled at the sight.
"I do have a concern about this though. What will you do if the Cave Heavens remove their support?" Ice Feather Great Emperor asked.
"Hmm? What do you mean?" I asked, raising my brow.
"Well, what you said just now was quite harsh. You treated them as if they were children, after all." Ice Feather Great Emperor elaborated.
"Ah, so that's what you're worried about. I see, well, to be honest, I don't care if they remove their support or not. If they remove their support, I'll have less incompetent allies. And if they don't my allies will become more competent. Either way my human race stands to gain the highest benefit with the least risk." I explained.
"I see, I guess I was just worried over nothing then. Pardon my curiosity." Ice Feather Great Emperor replied, in a half surprised, and half understanding tone. He learned a valuable lesson again.
"Furthermore, and this goes for anyone save for those who fought there... If you haven't fought on that battlefield, any complaints you have about my actions might as well be trivial in my eyes. I'll make exceptions when it's necessary. But even if it came from my own mother, I'd have to question it. It's not that I want to, or anything like that. It is simply just that stark of a difference in situations. That battlefield makes every other war ever fought look like less than child's play." I explained with a heavy sigh.
"I see, and you've already seen the history of the Star Boundary by now, being a Great Emperor and all that. So those words carry far more weight than anyone else's." Bustling World Great Emperor said with a shiver running down his spine, enough of one that it was visible.
"Indeed, now then, let's finish up all the business needed. First up, my future mothers, I'd like for you all to stay behind after the meeting is over. I have things to discuss with all of you. Secondly, my fiancés, I'd like for you to do the very same. In this way you'll be able to grow more accustomed to life here. My home here is large enough that you won't have to worry about where to live. I wanted it that way so my family can remain close. It's easier to form tight bonds when living together." I said, announcing my intentions right away.
"That would be great, I was actually hoping I could stay longer to talk with my new sisters." Lan Xun smiled and nodded. Mo Xiao Qi and Li Shi Qing nodded as well.
"With a situation like that, we can cement our relationship together quickly." Lu Yu Qin said energetically.
"Indeed. Now then, Martial Aunt Jiu Feng, you have partial Phoenix inheritance. I am willing to help you complete that much in the same way I aided my fiancé Lu Yu Qin. However, as of right now, I have much less experience with my phoenix abilities so it could be a bit too risky to try right now. After all, I haven't been able to transform into a phoenix for even a full year yet... But my Dragon form came naturally. That is the difference I am talking about. So instead for the time being I'll give you the next greatest gift I can give you." I explained, floating over a pill box. "That is for you. Usually you'd have to go through a long process to acquire those, and in public. But I don't think you'd like that right now." I added.
"Martial Nephew does have eyes. Not bad, I honestly wasn't expecting anything but I'll wait until you're confident in your abilities. Just let me know when. Oh, and I'm going to make use of these." Jiu Feng smiled, holding back her desire to take her lover and go right now.
"Good, now then. Apologies for making you wait, Azure Sun Temple's Temple Master Wen. I'll hear you out, but I can't make any promises. After all, I have no obligation to do so. That and my father is the only one who can actually force me to do anything, and even he will experience resistance from me if he goes overboard. Furthermore I have important business to discuss with my fellow Great Emperors. And more specifically Martial Beast Great Emperor and I have a matter of absolute importance. So pardon me for asking this of you, but I'd like you to make the situation clear, concise and straight to the point." I explained.
"I see, in short, I was not too happy about my daughter's heart going a flutter. But now that I see you in person it is clear that there is more to you than meets the eye. So I'd like to establish an arrangement between you and my daughter Wen Xue Qing. One where you two would marry." Wen Zi Shan explained, exactly how I wanted.
"Oh, most excellent. How about an agreement that they will be married 2 years from now? This will give them more time to grow closer. And also for Wen Xue Qing to see if she can tolerate the environment as a harem wife." Su Yan said instantly after Wen Zi Shan finished speaking.
"Alright, as long as Temple Master Wen Zi Shan, Elder Gao Xue Ting and Senior Sister Wen Xue Qing all agree to it, so it shall be. I'll need those 2 years anyways. I can't afford to use too much time. Though I doubt that the front is in as dire straits as it was before." I said, holding in my exasperated sigh.
The three people I just mentioned looked at each other. And all but Gao Xue Ting agreed right away. Instead she looked me dead in the eyes.
