Meng Jingzhou felt that ever since he had started selling his blood, he had not encountered any good fortune.

First, there was Shi Chan testing one’s Zen heart in the brothel, followed by the great chaos in Xu An’s harem.

The key was that both of these people used his own blood!

He said he felt that the glossy ganoderma soup Liu Xiangyu brought over smelled bloody, and lo and behold, it was his own!

What to do when the harem catches fire? Just eliminate the chief culprits, and all troubles will be no more.

Alternatively, he could spare Xu An’s life and just throw a Single Curse Fist.

In the courtyard, the Snake Demon, Ghost Cultivator, Fox Demon, and Spirit Device were in a fierce battle; thankfully, the Array Method temporarily shielded the situation here, or the patrolling constables would have come to investigate long ago.

Liu Xiangyu, with a shake of her body, transformed into a white serpent tens of zhang long, thicker than a water barrel, hissing as it flicked its forked tongue, cold eyes fixated on the three maids.

"I hit it off with master right from our first meeting, sealing a lifelong promise amidst the Qingming spring rains. Where does it leave room for you monsters and demons to interfere!"

The serpent’s body rolled and thrashed, shaking the earth and creating cracks in the ground, opening its gaping maw to swallow the three maids whole.

Xiao Qiu stretched out her arms, and countless vague black specters fused with the night, concealing her figure, and even her Nascent Soul emerged to block the white serpent’s gaping maw.

"What counts as love at first sight? Love that hasn’t been tested by life and death is but empty talk!"

"That day, my identity was exposed, and I was pursued by the government office. Fortunately, I encountered the benefactor who let me use the Haoran righteousness he generated to conceal my form. Only then did I survive!"

"If not for my unusual identity, which after explaining to the benefactor could have affected his imperial examinations, I would have married him long ago, leaving no chance for you to become the main wife!"

Xiao Zhu revealed her true form of the Demon Race, a snow-white fox spirit looking like a sprite in the snow, graceful and agile.

"Let it snow!"

Suddenly, heavy snow began to fall in the courtyard, the temperature plummeted, breath turned to frost, and water froze upon contact.

"I’m the spirit of a snow fox. Over a hundred years ago, the benefactor’s ancestor rescued me from a hunter’s trap. I wandered into a forbidden land, swallowed an unknown fruit, awakened the ancient bloodline in me, and used the power inherited in the bloodline to cultivate a human form."

"I had wanted to repay the benefactor’s ancestor in my human form, but by the time I could, he had already turned to dust. Since that’s the case, I will repay the benefactor!" Stay tuned with freewebnovel

"Had I not worried about the benefactor accepting my true identity, I would have confessed my feelings to him long ago!"

Liu Xiangyu let out a cold laugh, "Every one of you sneaks a bite at night, rendering the master drained of energy, yet you all have your justifications. I was the one who found out about the glossy ganoderma affair; the Pure Yang Blood was purchased by me. What have the three of you done!"

"Had it not been for your simultaneous appearance tonight, I would still be unaware that all three of you are non-human, to the extent that the master had to invite three at the Golden Core Stage from outside!"

The white serpent stirred a violent wind, icy and bone-chilling, howling as it approached, causing an involuntary shudder.

Xiangyu opened a barrier, temporarily blocking Liu Xiangyu’s attack.

Her true form was a jade pendant, a defensive magic artifact.

"My lady, please calm your anger. The master awakened me, but not knowing how to face him, I delayed revealing my identity and did not intend any deception."

Just as the second round of battle was about to erupt, a sound of Buddha’s chant alarmed all four of them into ceasing their actions.

"Amitabha, could the four lady benefactors please stop fighting temporarily for this poor monk’s sake?"

Shi Chan voluntarily stepped into the courtyard, accompanied by two Protectors, one wielding a sword and the other ready with a clenched fist.

"You three woke up, no, you’ve never fallen into unconsciousness?!"

The faces of Liu Xiangyu and the rest shifted slightly, revealing a hint of panic; none of them had noticed that the three individuals the benefactor had invited were indeed conscious.

"This shouldn’t be happening; the mesmerizing fragrance I released should cause anyone at the Nascent Soul Early Stage without guard to faint for three hours!" Xiao Cui was the most shocked, aware of how potent her mesmerizing fragrance was.

Definitely not something those at the Golden Core Stage could resist.

The more important issue was that these three people knew their true identities!

What were they to do if their husband found out?

"You’ve been pretending to sleep all this time!"

The four women’s cheeks flushed with shame. Could it be that everything that happened in bed with Xu An tonight was seen clearly by these three?

In their anger, all four women attacked at once.

The white snake coiled, a multitude of ghosts roamed the night, the snow fox brought down snowfall, and the jade pendant revealed its spirit.

"The monk harbors no intention of instigating conflict."

Facing the joint attack of the four women, Shi Chan remained calm and composed as he took out a Jiuchong magic artifact and tossed it into the air. The artifact emitted a pale golden glow that enveloped the four women, rendering them immobile.

"What, what kind of magic artifact is this?"

The four women were astonished, having never seen such a wondrous magic artifact before.

Jade pendant Xiao Qiu felt even greater pressure from a superior magic artifact.

"Ladies, you cannot overcome the three of us," said Shi Chan with a sigh, releasing the four women from the suppression. A golden figure appeared behind him, with a Vajra in his left hand and a Dharma wheel in his right, the epitome of the orthodox Sixteen-foot Golden Body.

In Lu Yang’s hand, the Green Peak Sword gleamed with a cold light, its piercing Sword Qi like countless needles to the eye, so daunting that one dared not look directly at it.

Meng Jingzhou executed the Three heads and six arms technique; each of his powerful arms was ready to explode with force, one punch could reach the sky, another could split the earth, and his expression was fierce with rage in his eyes.

"Nascent Soul... no, is it the Divinity Transformation Stage?!"

Liu Xiangyu and her three maids turned pale in an instant. Although these three men appeared to have similar cultivation levels, the aura they displayed was unmistakably that of the Divinity Transformation Stage!

Even without the Jiuchong magic artifact, any one of them could subdue her!

Were there not only two Divinity Transformation Stages in Chunjiang City, both affiliated with the government office? Where had her husband found these three Divinity Transformation Stages from?

Seeing that the four women had calmed down, Shi Chan retracted his Golden Body, and Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou followed suit.

"Beneath Xu An’s trust, I have come to address his lack of Yang Qi. I implore you four ladies not to make things difficult for this monk," he said.

The four women naturally agreed, acting very docile.

Liu Xiangyu transformed into her human form and invited the three masters to the hall to talk.

"Before we discuss the matter, let me introduce myself," said the monk. "My Dharma name is Shi Chan, a disciple of the Suspension Temple."

The women’s expressions changed again, anxiety setting in—they were in the presence of a high monk from the Suspension Temple.

Very little was heard about the disciples of the Suspension Temple, which was shrouded in mystery to the outside world, so the four women couldn’t gauge Shi Chan’s intentions.

Xiao Cui was the most nervous; as the Rudder Master of the Jiuyou Sect, if her identity was exposed, she feared there would be no escape.

"Ms. Liu, if this monk isn’t mistaken, are you from the white snake clan of the Demon Territory?" questioned Shi Chan.

"The master sees clearly," she admitted.

"Ms. Liu, heed this monk’s advice—your relationship with Mr. Xu An is truly improper," he said.

Liu Xiangyu’s face turned deathly pale, a bad premonition washing over her: "Is the master suggesting that my husband and I, being human and demon, have distinct paths, and ultimately cannot remain together?"

Shi Chan shook his head. "Not at all. What I mean is that, when registering a marriage, one must verify their race. Mr. Xu An is unaware of your identity, meaning the two of you merely have the reality of husband and wife, without the title."

"I suggest the two of you go to the government office to register."
