261: Second wife

[Prompt: Remaining cooldown for 'Instant Teleportation' skill: 9 days, 23 hours, 57 minutes...]

[Tick, tock, tick, tock...]

"Cooldown your mother's..."

Despite his breakdown, Su Chen was helpless.

The temperament of this dog system seemed to have always been like this.

To put it simply, it was incredibly scammy.

Faced with such a situation, he could only try to see if he could escape using his own power.

Su Chen was so scared that he twisted his body frantically in mid-air.

He attempted to change direction.

He even used every last ounce of strength he had.

He prepared to turn around and flee.

However, how could the four Transcendent Heroic Spirits below—who had each waited for thousands of years—just watch as this piece of fat meat that had reached their mouths flew away?

"Sir, since you are here, why be in such a hurry to leave?"

Zhuge Jinyu's cool voice pierced through the clouds.

In the next moment, that Black and White Bagua Formation soared into the sky.

It instantly restricted Su Chen's range of movement to the small area defined by the Bagua formation.

"Young Master Su, why don't you try taking another step?"

Cang Mingyue gritted her teeth as blue water transformed into chains filling the sky, directly locking Su Chen's movable limbs.

"Husband/Great King, get down here!"

Ye Jingjun and Jiang Luoli were even less polite.

Red ribbon-like sword qi and yellow ribbon-like Phoenix Qi quickly filled all the space around Su Chen.

They left him without even a shred of room to move.

In an instant.

Four terrifyingly powerful Transcendence Realm auras, like four inescapable giant dragons.

Instantly crossed a thousand meters of void.

They tightly entangled Su Chen, who was flailing his arms and legs in mid-air.

Although internally they refused to yield to one another regarding the distribution of Su Chen...

Seeing Su Chen trying to escape...

They would certainly present a united front against the outsider.

None of them would agree to let Su Chen run away.

"Ugh..."

Su Chen was instantly imprisoned by these four distinct forces, rendered completely unable to move.

He could only be like a tied-up hairy crab, amidst a sound of despairing wails.

He was forcibly dragged down toward the sea by the four women.

...

The shura field on the sea had gradually moved toward chaos and a fever pitch.

And at the edge of this chaotic and fanatical shura field.

Bai Su, at some unknown point, had already quietly retreated to a distance hundreds of yards away.

She wore a white dress, the white robe outlining her proud curves, which were not in the least inferior to Ye Jingjun's—the most curvaceous among the other four women.

Beneath the slit white robe were two long, shapely legs that were partially visible.

As a snake demon, she was born with enchanting bones and naturally possessed an extremely seductive aura.

Even standing quietly upon the waves, that kind of beauty could not be hidden.

What was even more shocking was...

Compared to Zhuge Jinyu's group of four and Xiao Qing.

Lady Bai possessed a mature, maternal temperament that they did not have.

That wasn't something that could appear just from 'doing it'.

One had to 'give birth'.

Yet, even in the shura field, Bai Suzhen, who possessed such immense capital...

Chose at this moment to tightly restrain her cultivation and aura—which were enough to shake heaven and earth—to the absolute limit.

She stood there quietly, as if merging into this sea area.

She did not reveal even a shred of intention to step forward and compete.

"Sister! Are you crazy?!"

Beside her, Xiao Qing was fuming with anxiety, her green hairpin almost standing on end.

She gripped Bai Suzhen's sleeve tightly, pointing at the four women ahead who were "dismembering" Su Chen, her voice filled with a thick sob and the anger of seeing someone fail to live up to expectations.

"Sister, that is my brother-in-law (cough, Xiao Qing, do you even believe that yourself?), and your husband!"

"Why don't you go forward and snatch him?"

"Look at those vixens, they have no shame at all."

"Sister, you are at the Fourteenth Stage of the Transcendence Realm, not inferior to any one of them."

"As long as you take action, plus me, we might not necessarily lose to them!"

Bai Suzhen looked at Su Chen in the distance, who was entangled by four-colored lights and descending with a face full of despair.

A layer of hazy mist welled up in her beautiful eyes.

She let out a soft sigh.

"Xiao Qing, stop messing around."

Her voice was very soft, so soft it seemed a gust of wind could blow it away.

The complexion she had tried her best to maintain in front of Zhuge Jinyu and the others was now so pale it was hard to look at.

She raised her jade-like finger and gently stroked Xiao Qing's face.

"I am already a person about to die."

Xiao Qing's delicate body shuddered as if struck by lightning.

Then, as if remembering something, she lowered her head in shame and sadness.

That's right...

How could she have forgotten the special situation regarding her sister?

The world Xiao Qing and Bai Suzhen were in was quite special.

That world bubble was hidden within the spiritual veins of the Blue Planet; it was the incarnation of the Blue Planet's spiritual veins.

One could also say it was an inseparable and important part of the Blue Planet world.

For a world and a civilization, spiritual veins were more than just 'important'.

It was related to the development of civilization and the recovery of spiritual energy.

If it could be said that Su Daji of the main world had almost single-handedly withstood the erosion of the Alien Demon Plane for nearly nine hundred years...

Then Bai Suzhen had similarly, by her own strength, maintained that parallel world within the Blue Planet's spiritual veins where spiritual energy had been exhausted, and indirectly catalyzed the Spiritual Energy Recovery of the Blue Planet's main world.

Her origin had long since dried up.

If that witch hadn't set up this magic circle here that could slow down the flow of time...

Bai Suzhen would likely have already dissolved into the world by now.

"Xiao Qing."

"Even if I can force this remnant body to hold on, I won't live much longer."

Bai Suzhen gazed in Su Chen's direction, the corners of her mouth curling into an exquisitely tragic smile.

"Recognizing him now, besides adding to his troubles and making him experience another heart-wrenching deathly parting..."

"What meaning could there be?"

"He has experienced enough deathly partings and enough pain; there's no need to add another scar across his heart."

"I will just stand here."

"Standing at this position... not too close to him, but not too far either."

A crystal drop slowly slid down from the corner of Bai Suzhen's eye.

"If after he lands, surrounded by a crowd of female confidantes, he happens to catch a glimpse of me even with just his peripheral vision and can recognize me..."

"Then I will recognize him and say a proper goodbye."

"If he has already been blinded by that prosperity and no longer remembers me, an old friend who has waited for him for a thousand years..."

"Then let me, in the capacity of a passerby, steal one last look at him."

"In that way, I will be satisfied."

Listening to her sister's words, which were almost humble to the point of being in the dust...

Xiao Qing's heart felt as if it were being crushed by an invisible giant hand.

She was angry; she was hateful.

She hated her sister's lack of fighting spirit.

She hated her sister's forbearance.

She hated her own incompetence, needing her sister's support just to barely dare to imagine laying a finger on that man who appeared in her dreams day and night.

She hated that dead scumbag who was being fought over by four women in mid-air.

And she hated this damn fate even more.

Why, after forcibly separating them from him time and again, did it take away her sister's lifespan?
