347: Chapter 347 Unmarried Wife

Ever since Bai Suzhen witnessed the awakening of Su Chen's masculine instincts that day.

Her heart, which had been dormant for ten thousand years, had already quietly sprouted a forbidden seed.

Originally, in her plans, if she could find some other, more normal way to save his life.

Once Su Chen reached adulthood at eighteen, and she had successfully traversed the river to transform into a dragon, she had planned to give herself... to Su Chen.

But now.

In order to let this little guy survive.

She had to personally select eight fiancées for him.

She had to personally push him out from under her wings and into the arms of other women!

She even had to watch helplessly as, at the age of eighteen.

He would share the bridal chamber and live in marital bliss with those eight women.

For the two women, it felt as though a piece of flesh had been forcibly carved out of their hearts.

They didn't know why, but they felt a twinge of pain.

A feeling called "jealousy" was growing wildly in the depths of their hearts like weeds.

"Sister... is there really no other way?"

Xiaoqing's eyes were red, her voice filled with a hint of pleading.

Bai Suzhen closed her eyes and shook her head.

"I have scoured the entire Linghe Realm, and this is the only way."

"The moment of Yin and Yang fusion is the purest force of creation in heaven and earth."

"Only by utilizing the extreme Yin essence released simultaneously by eight Phoenix Maidens can we completely seal and reverse-engineer the Dragon Qi within Chen'er's body."

"From then on, he will be able to completely break free from the bloodline shackles of that old dragon and fully harness that powerful bloodline for his own use."

"The sky is vast for birds to fly, and the sea is wide for fish to leap; his strength should also skyrocket to a terrifying level."

Bai Suzhen reached out, pulled Su Chen tightly into her embrace, and rested her chin on his forehead.

"As long as Chen'er can live on well."

"I am willing to do whatever it takes."

If they didn't do this, Su Chen wouldn't even be able to make it past the age of ten.

In the face of life and death, personal romance and reluctance were truly insignificant.

Thinking of this, the two sisters took a deep breath.

They exchanged a firm look, silently making up their minds.

There was not even a trace of hesitation.

Xiaoqing immediately bit her fingertip, using her own origin blood as a catalyst.

Divination art, activate again!

She wanted to use her divination ability to find the eight most suitable Phoenix Maidens for Su Chen.

"Heavenly Dao is boundless, borrowing the laws of the universe."

"Yin and Yang intertwine, seeking Phoenixes from all directions."

"Open!"

Accompanied by Xiaoqing's clear shout, that drop of blood transformed into a giant Eight Trigrams compass in mid-air.

The needle on the compass began to spin wildly.

Every time it stopped, a golden light would be projected out.

Manifesting a name shining with dazzling brilliance in the void.

However, as the divination proceeded.

Every time a name appeared in the void, Bai Suzhen and Xiaoqing would involuntarily gasp.

"The first... Prime Minister of the Great Qian Immortal Dynasty, Zhuge Jinyu."

The Great Qian Immortal Dynasty was the supreme hegemon occupying the source of the Spirit River and ruling over ten thousand miles of territory.

And that Prime Minister, Zhuge Jinyu, was a peerless genius known for her flawless calculations and wisdom bordering on the demonic.

Furthermore, she possessed extremely high talent in the path of cultivation.

It was said that the vermilion bird feather fan in her hand had once extinguished one hundred thousand demonic cultivators with a single wave.

"The second... heir to the Sword Chief of the Sword Qi Great Wall, Ye Jingjun."

Bai Suzhen gasped.

The Sword Qi Great Wall was situated between the Linghe Realm and the vast expanse beyond the Spirit River basin, stretching endlessly.

It was said that in that region beyond the Spirit River basin, which was believed to be devoid of any life.

There existed a type of extremely powerful, non-biological "creature."

And this Sword Qi Great Wall was the front line for resisting these "extraterrestrial demons."

That heir to the Sword Chief, named Ye Jingjun, cultivated the Supreme Heartless Dao.

It was said her heart was as cold as iron, and apart from the sword, nothing in the world entered her eyes.

"The third... the mermaid royal family, the enchantingly talented little princess, Cang Mingyue."

"The fourth... Qingqiu Tushan, the peerless Empress of the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox clan, Su Daji."

"The fifth... the Heavenly Secret Pavilion, the enchantress rumored to be able to manipulate others' souls and kill invisibly, Su Wanyue."

"The sixth... the Great Yin Immortal Dynasty, the Empress who suppressed all dissent with an iron fist, Jiang Luoli."

Crazy! Completely crazy!

Bai Suzhen's face was pale.

If it had really been the young daughters of ordinary noble families, that would have been fine.

But these Phoenix Maidens selected by the Heavenly Dao compass were, without exception.

All precious jewels protected like the apple of one's eye within the top factions of the Spirit River source region.

There were even supreme Empresses who stood high above.

Any one of them, if plucked out, was a terrifying existence who could make the entire Linghe Realm tremble just by stomping her foot.

Letting ten-year-old Su Chen live and eat with this group of monsters to cultivate feelings?

This was simply asking little Su Chen to charge into a mountain of blades and a sea of fire, to go into a dragon's pool and tiger's den to pluck a tiger's whiskers!

Just as the two women were left scalp-numb and heart-racing by this breathtakingly gorgeous SSR-level luxury lineup.

The Heavenly Dao compass spun once more, drawing out the seventh name.

"The seventh... in the lower reaches of the Spirit River, a merchant's daughter named Teacher Wang Jin."

Phew— Seeing this name, Bai Suzhen and Xiaoqing simultaneously let out a long sigh of relief, feeling that the heart hanging in their throats had finally dropped back halfway.

Thank heavens, they had finally drawn a normal card that wasn't so illustrious.

A merchant's daughter from the lower reaches of the Spirit River.

With Bai Suzhen's prestige as the world's number one, as long as she casually bestowed a few medicinal pills or magical treasures.

The other party would definitely be grateful and send their daughter over.

This was simply a freebie, a question practically giving away points.

However, just as the two had breathed a sigh of relief and were preparing to welcome the name of the final Phoenix Maiden.

The rapidly spinning compass needle suddenly paused.

A dazzling green light, completely different from the previous golden light, shot straight out from the compass.

Unbiased and precise.

It landed straight on the center of Xiaoqing's brow as she was casting the spell.

The announcement of the eighth Phoenix Maiden's identity gave both people present a huge fright.

In the void, two large characters slowly emerged.

Xiaoqing.

"This... how is this possible?!"

Xiaoqing's pretty face instantly flushed bright red, like a ripe red apple.

She clumsily dispersed the spell.

She jumped up like a cat whose tail had been stepped on.

She turned her head.

And caught sight of her sister Bai Suzhen's gaze, which was resentful to the extreme.

A gaze that seemed as if it could drip vinegar.

That kind of gaze was just like a cabbage she had painstakingly grown.

Not only was it going to be rooted by wild boars from outside.

But now, even her own sister wanted to steal from the storehouse and come along to get a share of the spoils.

"Sis... Sister, listen to my explanation, I swear!"

Xiaoqing rubbed the corner of her clothes, feeling a bit embarrassed.

"I absolutely did not tamper with the divination results."

"It was this Heavenly Dao compass, it said so itself."

"I... how could I be Chen'er's... Phoenix Maiden... I also feel..."

"Letting him... do that kind of thing to his Auntie Qing when he is eighteen, Chen'er surely wouldn't be able to bring himself to do it, right."
