294: Chapter 294 Is it going to get better...?
For a moment, five other rather unfriendly gazes...
...were all cast upon Cang Mingyue.
(Subtext: "Zhuge Jinyu is a total pig to let so many beautiful women get close to Young Master Su. Ye Jingjun isn't any good either, trying to suppress others with power right from the start; she doesn't deserve to be the main wife. As for Su Wanyue, don't think too much either. Although Ye Jingjun is barely human, what she said is correct: you are just a sister. Just watch your sisters-in-law ( ) your brother, and that's that.")
In Su Wanyue's mind, three exclamation marks lit up.
Seeing her brother so dotingly allowing Cang Mingyue to rub against his back...
...she had only one thought in her mind at this moment.
( ) it, humanity is doomed.
Brother is doomed too.
Seeing this, Jiang Luoli couldn't sit still either.
She stepped forward and wrapped her arm around Su Wanyue's neck,
and "comforted" her with a beaming smile.
"Junior, let your senior tell you, if you want to get their approval, you need to pass an assessment."
"For example, you haven't broken through to the Transcendence Realm yet, right?"
"Who knows, in future battles, you might become..."
(Subtext: "Although my status in the harem isn't that high either, don't even think about it without my approval.")
("At least I have a cultivation in the Transcendence Realm, and I've even ( ) with Junior Su Chen in front of Zhuge Jinyu and the others, pushing their butts for them.")
Hearing this, Su Wanyue asked in confusion,
"Is this assessment a tradition of the Huayu Association? Teacher Wang Jin never mentioned it to me either."
(Subtext: "With the three of them—Zhuge Jinyu and the others—around, you are ultimately not the boss. Although you are a veteran, your status after joining the harem isn't much higher than mine. What's more, even Teacher Wang Jin, who is supposed to be on your side, didn't plan to make things difficult for me. So what is your purpose in saying these things?")
Zhuge Jinyu raised her hand, putting a stop to this testing.
"Everyone, we are sitting here to discuss the plan to fight against the otherworldly demons, not to stab each other in the heart."
"Su Wanyue, we also know your talent, and you have shown your abilities."
"Once you fully recover, I will see your progress on the battlefield against the otherworldly demons."
(Subtext: "Tsk tsk, this newcomer is quite interesting. However, our harem only accepts the strong; we must absolutely not cause trouble for Sir. You must understand one thing now: as long as I, Zhuge Jinyu, am still around, none of you will ever be the boss.")
As soon as Zhuge Jinyu finished speaking,
Su Chen felt his entire body relax in an instant.
In this verbal battle of a shura field,
although not a single person pointed their spearhead at him,
every single word from the six women present revolved around him.
However, at this moment, Su Chen finally realized the benefits of having many beautiful women.
If there were only a few, say two or three,
the center of their target would be him, Su Chen.
But now, with six beautiful women gathered together,
Su Chen didn't need to say anything;
they would fight among themselves for him.
And as long as he, Su Chen, ensured that he still enjoyed absolute say as the master of the harem, he would not become the target of concentrated fire.
"Everyone, cough cough cough."
"Look over here."
Su Chen pressed the projection screen at the back of the Huayu Association's meeting room.
A light screen instantly descended from the ceiling.
On the screen, various red and blue dots
represented the spatial rifts and natural disasters within the borders of Great Xia.
"Although I know everyone quite dislikes me playing the savior,"
"but right now... we don't have to be do-gooders, but at least we can't let the Blue Star go to ruin."
"Otherwise, we won't have anywhere to go in the future, right?"
...
Over the next few days, everything seemed to go according to plan.
Su Chen and his six peerlessly beautiful women began to be active in Jianghai City and its surrounding disaster areas under the name of the Huayu Association.
To prove that they were not a drag on Su Chen,
when clearing out the monsters emerging from the rifts,
the six women truly achieved cost reduction and efficiency enhancement.
After a period of adjustment,
a certain combat tacit understanding actually developed among the six women, who previously couldn't stand the sight of each other.
Zhuge Jinyu was responsible for strategizing and coordinating the overall situation, while using her understanding of formations to control the entire battlefield.
The Heartless Sword Immortal Ye Jingjun's sword qi swept across, slashing to pieces all invading enemies, while the Great Yin Queen Jiang Luoli's Phoenix Qi endured, her pressure intimidating all petty troublemakers.
These two women served as the team's main attackers.
Cang Mingyue was the team's logistical support, controlling water and riding waves to provide timely healing and assistance to every member.
As for Teacher Wang Jin, who had just emerged from her cocoon and reborn, she shed her past self-doubt and heaviness, fighting right behind Jiang Luoli and Ye Jingjun.
The long saber in her hand was exceptionally fierce, each strike being fatal.
As for his sister, Su Wanyue,
due to her special ability, her combat methods were bizarre and unpredictable.
As long as any monster dared to take half a step close to Su Chen, she would instantly strangle it into a mist of blood.
With the six women joining forces, plus Su Chen's...
Well, actually, there was no need to add him.
Although Lao Chen had quite a few good things and special abilities,
but right now, even Teacher Wang Jin, the weakest among the six women, could easily pin him to the ground and thrash him.
Su Chen now played the role of a binder and a mascot-like group darling in this team.
Of course, come nighttime, Su Chen would reclaim his dominance.
Only his poor sister, Su Wanyue,
had to watch the other five women go in and out of Su Chen's room every single night.
Yet as the "sister," she could only curl up at her room door in anger, biting her fingers.
Because she was just a "sister" after all.
Su Chen wasn't beastly enough to go that far either.
Although he knew Su Wanyue's feelings for him, and the two had no blood relation whatsoever,
the shift in their relationship wasn't something that could be changed overnight.
He still needed some time to adapt to the change in their identities.
With the efforts of the seven of them,
the situation around Jianghai City, which was originally like a shura purgatory, actually improved quite a bit.
And during this period of day-and-night clearing, something that astonished everyone occurred.
The natural disasters raging outside, as well as the terrifying otherworldly demons constantly pouring out of the spatial rifts,
showed an incredible decline.
Ten days after Su Chen returned to the Huayu Association,
the originally dark, oppressive sky of Jianghai City, which had been riddled with crimson rifts, began to let through the long-lost sunlight bit by bit.
The wild winds ceased, and the tsunamis receded.
Not only did the number of spatial rifts between the otherworldly demon plane and the Blue Star decrease significantly,
but even those otherworldly demons that had previously crossed over to the Blue Star seemed to have lost the support of some mysterious power; their numbers plummeted, and their combat strength was far below what it used to be.
Watching the gradually subsiding disaster, the women wiped the fine sweat from their foreheads, and relieved smiles appeared on their tired faces.
(Because this shura field segment requires a bit of brainpower, I've marked it out in small text for everyone QWQ)
