Chapter 442: There are quite a few beauties given to the wife
Last time, the Golden Core Ceremony for Mu Qiuniang could be overlooked, but this time, for the Nascent Soul Ceremony, Sect Leader Gong Xihe was absolutely adamant that she had to hold it."Grandmaster, you should hold it. Otherwise, they’ll inquire everywhere and use all sorts of messy means. If you hold it, some things can be settled at the ceremony all at once, which can be beneficial for you."
"What do I have to settle?" Mu Qiuniang was puzzled.
"Ahem!" Sect Leader Gong Xihe coughed a few times, glanced at Jiang Nuo, "I don’t know if it’s proper for me to say."
The meaning was obvious. Jiang Nuo was here, could he speak?
"I have nothing to hide from him, go ahead." Mu Qiuniang said.
"Ahem, Grandmaster, recently many people have been visiting the Hidden Immortal Sect. More accurately, they’re here to visit you, bringing you a lot of gifts. Some of the gifts, I’ve managed to decline for you, but some I just couldn’t."
Mu Qiuniang was completely puzzled.
"A portion of the gifts I’ve already placed in the guest room of the Qiuyuan at the back mountain. You may take the Grandmaster to have a look when you have time."
What kind of gifts need her to see personally? Mu Qiuniang was even more confused.
However, when she actually took Jiang Nuo to the so-called guest room of Qiuyuan at the back mountain and saw all kinds of handsome men living there, she was a bit dumbfounded.
"Is this what your sect leader means by gifts?" Mu Qiuniang asked the guiding disciple.
The white-clothed disciple shrank his neck, nodded, "Yes, Grandmaster, this is already a small part of them, most have been sent back by the sect leader’s efforts. But these, they’re not so easy to refuse..."
The white-clothed disciple clearly felt that when he said these words, the temperature around the Grandmaster plummeted.
What man wouldn’t be upset finding someone sending men to his wife? Especially since the Grandmaster was a man raised in the mundane world, and it’s said that men raised in the mundane world are particularly macho.
Here, Jiang Nuo also saw a particularly familiar-looking red-robed youth — Lei Qianhua.
"Why are you here?" Jiang Nuo was surprised. This was the youth who once showed off to him, and now he’s here too?
"Why can’t I be here? Of course, I’m here to see my goddess!" Lei Qianhua swayed his hip, bumping Jiang Nuo to the side, casting a big flirtatious glance at Mu Qiuniang and introduced himself naturally, "Fairy Mu, hello, I am Lei Qianhua."
He wore his favorite red ancient robe, making him look dazzling and eye-catching, just like a blooming red rose, drawing everyone’s attention.
"Hello!" Mu Qiuniang turned her head to look at Jiang Nuo. She seemed puzzled, weren’t these said to be gifts from others by Gong Xihe? Why does Jiang Nuo know them?
Her puzzled expression made Jiang Nuo feel instantly gratified. Humph! Even if you are the number one beautiful boy in the Cultivation World, so what? In my wife’s eyes, aren’t I still the most important?
"Wife, last time when I went abroad to see you, the one who came to the crew to show off and insisted I should step down for him, was him!"
Lei Qianhua was somewhat resentful: How could this person report me right in front of myself? What if Fairy Mu ends up with a bad impression of him?
"Fairy Mu, it wasn’t like that. Last time was just a coincidence, a coincidence..." Lei Qianhua hurriedly explained.
Jiang Nuo shrugged, "You know very well whether it was a coincidence. However, about me stepping down for you, I am really sorry, but as I said last time, as long as I am with her, none of you will appear beside her!"
While speaking, he proudly raised his chin, looking down on Lei Qianhua and the others.
He had started cultivating too, alright?
Moreover, didn’t his wife say he’s favored by Qi Fortune and the Heavenly Dao? Who could match him?
Seeing Jiang Nuo acting like a peacock displaying his feathers, Mu Qiuniang felt like laughing, but remembering her promise to him to smile less outside, she suppressed it to her lips, not showing it.
She let Jiang Nuo put his arm around her waist, confidently saying, "Hmm! You’re right, the only place by my side is yours!"
Lei Qianhua’s face changed slightly, "Fairy Mu, then what about us?"
Others also agreed in desperation, "Exactly, Fairy Mu, couldn’t we just hope for a tiny corner? Just allowing us a small space to stand would be enough!"
"Fairy, are you telling us to leave? How is that possible? If we go back, our end will surely be tragic!"
"Fairy, please, show mercy and spare our lives!"
"Dear sir, we beg you, even if it’s just to stay and serve tea, don’t send us away!"
...
There were even some who directly knelt before Jiang Nuo, clutching his robe hem, begging for a "way to live".
Jiang Nuo almost stumbled, "What are you doing? Crying and whining as if you’re at death’s door, isn’t that a woman’s thing to do?"
"Sir, you simply don’t understand. For people like us, raised from childhood to be gifted when grown, if we can’t fetch a high price, our future will be bleak!"
"Oh, if you can’t fetch a good price, your future will be bleak, so is it justified that my wife should accept the task? My wife raising me alone is hard enough, why add you freeloaders to that burden? You wail daily, souring even the best of her moods. Raising you lot, is it for her own happiness or just self-torment? Only someone with a sick mind would support a bunch who not only spend her money but also rob her of joy. I’m sorry, my wife isn’t interested in this thankless task."
"No, sir, we are well-behaved, obedient, and won’t cause trouble!"
"Then tell me, what can you do?" Jiang Nuo adopted the full posture of a "big wife".
Mu Qiuniang watched him having fun, and didn’t interrupt. With a wave of her hand, two chairs appeared, and they sat side by side. She even conjured a tea set, placing it on the table for him to use whenever he liked.
A man in a light green ancient robe, elegantly said, "I can play music, games, calligraphy, and painting, I can accompany Fairy Mu in poetic and artistic sentiments..."
Before he could finish, a white-robed person bumped him aside disdainfully, "Who doesn’t know those things? They’re basically what everyone has to learn."
He stepped up to Jiang Nuo, bowing deeply, "Sir, I might not excel in other traits but in this one area, no one can beat me!"
"Which area?"
"I’m a Furnace!" The man said proudly, "From birth, I was discovered to be a Natural Furnace, cultivated in the ’Furnace Tripod Technique’ since childhood, meant for supplementing my future wife-master! I am willing to give my life to you, for you to use as you will!"
