Chapter 822: Fairies in Conflict
Xiang Shaoyun had been praying that Yu Caidie wouldn’t see him and Tuoba Wan’er here. He would then find some time to explain himself to her. Alas, human proposes and heaven disposes.
They had barely taken a few steps from the carriage before Yu Caidie appeared before them. He was so frightened his heart nearly popped out of his mouth. This was akin to the clash between the sun and the moon. What should he do now?
The surrounding people widened their eyes when they saw this scene. They had long heard of the rumor about Xiang Shaoyun’s relationship with Yu Caidie, but that rumor had never been substantiated. With Yu Caidie appearing soon after Xiang Shaoyun returned with a beauty, they had no choice but to believe the rumor.
At the same time, they also rejoiced at Xiang Shaoyun’s misfortune as they thought, It will be for the best if the two fairies can dump him. That way, I will have a chance!
Among the welcoming disciples, Tang Longfei slapped his forehead as he thought, Well, this will be troublesome for Shaoyun.
Of course, he was mostly filled with relief over Xiang Shaoyun’s safe return. The other Overlord Legion members shared the same feeling. As for Lady Shura, when she saw Xiang Shaoyun by Tuoba Wan’er’s side, her heart ached. Inwardly, she sighed, Perhaps I should take even more initiative.
Lady Shura did not mind Xiang Shaoyun having other women. After all, she could never control an outstanding man like him. However, she did not wish to end up forgotten.
“Caidie, I…” Xiang Shaoyun did not know what to say.
Beside him, Tuoba Wan’er felt some sort of sense as she tightened her arm around Xiang Shaoyun’s arm and asked, “Husband, who is this little sister?”
Tuoba Wan’er had always been sweet-tempered, but that did not mean she was ignorant. On the contrary, she was incredibly intelligent. She wouldn’t have been able to reach the Soul Foundation Realm before 40 years old otherwise.
The woman before her equally matched her in terms of looks. From how the woman was behaving, it was obvious she was a love rival. Thus, an appropriate response was required.
From how Tuoba Wan’er was reacting, it was evident how important Xiang Shaoyun was to Tuoba Wan’er now.
Xiang Shaoyun nearly fainted when Tuoba Wan’er called him husband publicly. Inwardly, he cried, It’s over.
He was confident Yu Caidie would turn back and leave, or perhaps she would give him a slap before severing all contact with him. He shut his eyes, awaiting the incoming storm. The storm did not arrive, however, and everyone found it unreal.
Yu Caidie stepped to the other side of Xiang Shaoyun, ignored Tuoba Wan’er, and said with worry in her eyes, “I heard you encountered a super sandstorm at the Desert of Despair. I thought something bad had happened to you. I was worried sick. Now that you’re back, I’m relieved.”
Xiang Shaoyun was touched to hear the concern in her voice. He gently replied, “Caidie, sorry for making you worried. I’m back.”
“Um. It’s good that you’re back. You haven’t forgotten the promise between us, right?” asked Yu Caidie, blinking her big eyes.
“What promise is that? Tell me about it, husband,” said Tuoba Wan’er. She was extremely dissatisfied with how Yu Caidie was ignoring her, but it wouldn’t be proper to flare up then and there. Instead, she had to make her presence known to prevent Yu Caidie from snatching her man.
Before Xiang Shaoyun could say anything, Yu Caidie answered, “That’s a secret between him and me. We can’t let unrelated people know.”
This time, Tuoba Wan’er was truly furious. How did she become an unrelated person? She decided to ignore Yu Caidie and said to Xiang Shaoyun, “Husband, your academy’s elders are still waiting for us. We can’t be lacking in manners and make them wait.”
She emphasized the word husband, as though she was afraid Yu Caidie wouldn’t hear it. Her voice was filled with provocation.
Xiang Shaoyun braced himself and suggested, “Wan’er, why don’t you go ahead?”
Truthfully, Yu Caidie was the most important woman to him. He felt that she was the woman he loved most as decreed by fate, a feeling he had had since their first meeting. It was as though they had been together in their previous life.
Xiang Shaoyun was sure Yu Caidie shared the feeling, but she had never shown it. She wouldn’t have agreed to his courtship and set up the promise with him otherwise.
“No. We’re here together. How can I go alone? This is half your home. How can you not show your wife around?” Tuoba Wan’er pulled Xiang Shaoyun’s hand and started throwing a tantrum.
The disciples around them were nearly driven crazy from envy. Nobody could resist a woman like that speaking in such a tone. Alas, she wasn’t speaking like that to them.
Xiang Shaoyun felt like dying as he cursed inwardly, If I had known this would happen, I would have returned alone.
Tuoba Wan’er thought she could chase Yu Caidie away with that, but Yu Caidie seemed not to mind it. Instead, she brazenly hugged Xiang Shaoyun’s other arm and said, “Why didn’t you inform me before taking a concubine? It’s not like I’m a conservative woman.”
The surrounding disciples almost fainted when they heard the exchange.
Those words had obviously proved her relationship with Xiang Shaoyun. She was the goddess of all the academy’s disciples. They couldn’t accept her destroying her image like this.
Tuoba Wan’er shot Yu Caidie a hostile look as she pinched Xiang Shaoyun’s waist. On the other side of his waist, Yu Caidie was doing the same. He felt like he was being tortured by fire and ice at the same time, his face filled with awkwardness.
“Hehe, it’s good to be young and full of passion. Don’t just stand there, come on in,” said the welcoming elder with a laugh.
Those words had obviously saved Xiang Shaoyun, filling his heart with gratitude.
And thus, Xiang Shaoyun entered the academy flanked by two beauties. The surrounding disciples showered him with glares that could most certainly riddle him with holes if eyes could kill.
After Xiang Shaoyun and the two women entered the building, wails resounded.
“Gods, heavens, where is justice in the world? Both my goddesses have been matched with a pile of feces. I can’t accept this!”
“I need to challenge Xiang Shaoyun! I need to prove that he only has the looks but is in fact worth nothing!”
“That fellow is merely an incompetent fellow who lives off women. I really don’t know why he’s so lucky.”
“Perhaps he drugged them? Why hadn’t they crippled him for doing that?”
