181: Bu Feiyan is looking for a buyer

Three days later.

Cao Nie opened his door, stretched, and walked out feeling refreshed.

In three days, he had doted on all his wives and concubines, and the feeling was simply too wonderful.

On the extra-long soft couch behind him, snowy white bodies lay strewn about.

Upon closer inspection, every face still bore the blush of pleasure, with expressions of satisfaction between their brows.

Even Dragon Xi and Feng Zhi, who had initially resisted, had succumbed.

The other women were even more helpless.

Ultimately, women were inherently cheap creatures; while resenting Cao Nie, they also enjoyed the extreme pleasure he brought.

Just then.

A cold, authoritative female voice echoed in Cao Nie's mind.

"Cao Nie, where have you been for the past six months? Come to the Imperial Study immediately to see me."

Cao Nie's pupils contracted slightly.

It was Ji Ruxue!

His heart tightened.

By his calculations, Ji Ruxue and Bu Feiyan were indeed due to give birth soon.

Had they already given birth?

However, the tone just now, while containing anger, lacked killing intent, so they probably hadn't given birth yet.

Cao Nie lightly stroked his chin, a hint of playfulness flashing in his eyes.

If they knew the children in their bellies were his, they'd probably chase him for three thousand li with swords.

But fortunately, he was now fearless.

What if they knew?

Hmph, hmph!

Inside the Imperial Study.

Cao Nie leisurely stepped into the hall.

He saw Ji Ruxue on the dragon throne, her face frosty, radiating a chilling aura.

Below, Bu Feiyan kept her eyes downcast, her long eyelashes trembling slightly, a hint of struggle visible between her brows.

Cao Nie's gaze swept over the illusory panels floating above their heads, and he secretly breathed a sigh of relief; they hadn't given birth yet, but it was coming soon, probably within the next half-month.

Both of them used immortal artifacts to conceal their bulging pregnant bellies, so no one could see them.

Seeing Cao Nie arrive, both of them looked over.

One gaze was icy and piercing, the other complex and eager.

Cao Nie paused his steps; why did their expressions seem a bit off?

"Greetings, Your Majesty. May I know why Your Majesty has summoned this subject?" Cao Nie feigned a bow.

"Something happened at the Demon Sealing Abyss, do you know?" Ji Ruxue asked coldly.

Cao Nie shook his head: "Reporting to Your Majesty, this subject has been traveling outside for the past six months, and truly did not know."

He knew nothing; for the past six months, he had either been snatching women or on his way to snatch women. How could he have time to care about external affairs?

Even if he knew, what did it matter to him?

His goal was not some demon extermination.

His goal was to sleep with every stunning beauty rated ninety points or above in the world.

Only then could his Cao family's strength rapidly develop and grow.

Three days ago, those beauties provided him with over twenty Holy Body Origins, significantly boosting his Cao family's strength.

Now, with the core strength of his Cao family exerting itself, the gap in the middle was finally filled.

Especially the recent descendants born to the Nine Great Elders; their talent levels were mostly at the Immortal and Saint ranks.

Cao Jian had already fathered over four hundred children, one of whom possessed Half-God level talent.

He had already designated him to be groomed as the next Great Elder.

Among the nine, only Cao An was the most regrettable.

That pervert dealt with men all day, completely wasting his Hell-Suppressing Demonic Body.

Cao Nie sometimes wondered if he should strip that pervert of his physique to prevent him from continuing to be a pervert.

However, thinking of how loyal that pervert was, he didn't dwell on the matter further.

With the system, he didn't lack Cao An.

Ji Ruxue deeply scrutinized Cao Nie, secretly surprised.

With her cultivation of Seven Tribulation Half-Immortal, she had previously been completely unable to sense Cao Nie's whereabouts.

It wasn't until three days ago that she suddenly caught a trace of his aura.

The result of that probe was significant; as soon as her divine sense swept over, she saw Cao Nie bullying Hong Ling and Qing Rou. The scene forced her to immediately withdraw her divine sense, and she only called him to question him today.

"Six months ago, an urgent report came from the Buddhist Sect: the demons in the Demon Sealing Abyss suddenly joined forces, causing immense pressure on the Buddhist Sect."

"Various major forces dispatched large armies. My Nine Radiance Divine Dynasty sent a million-strong army, led by Wind Howl Heaven, and the situation was only stabilized a while ago."

She gazed deeply at Cao Nie.

Originally, she had intended to have Cao Nie lead the army there.

But after some thought, this fellow was a civil official, and Wind Howl Heaven had just emerged from the Immortal Palace at that time, so she entrusted the matter to him.

As for her Nine Radiance Divine Dynasty's generals, not even one was a Half-Immortal.

There used to be, but in that battle, they followed her Father Emperor.

"Your Majesty, since the situation at the Demon Sealing Abyss has stabilized, may I know why Your Majesty has summoned this subject?"

Cao Nie was neither obsequious nor arrogant, his gaze sweeping over Ji Ruxue's jade-like legs.

He recalled the time he charged with those jade legs on his shoulders.

He had to admit, it was exhilarating.

Ji Ruxue's brows furrowed slightly, and she subconsciously tugged her skirt to cover herself.

"Cough."

She lightly coughed, her gaze sweeping over Bu Feiyan, before saying: "It's like this, Feiyan asked me, the empress, to uphold justice for her, and after some thought, I agreed."

Upon hearing this, Cao Nie glanced at Bu Feiyan.

What did that mean?

Uphold justice, then uphold justice.

But looking at Ji Ruxue, she seemed somewhat unwilling.

"Your Majesty, since Feiyan asked you to uphold justice for her, then do so."

Ji Ruxue suddenly became serious: "Cao, so you have no objections?"

Cao Nie said, somewhat bewildered: "What objections could I have..."

"Good!"

Ji Ruxue suddenly interrupted: "Since that's the case, there's no time like the present. You shall marry Feiyan now."

Cao Nie was stunned, his gaze turning to Bu Feiyan.

Bu Feiyan also looked over, but her eyes were somewhat evasive.

This made Cao Nie somewhat perplexed.

Had this woman come to her senses?

No.

Something was definitely off, twelve out of ten times.

How could Bu Feiyan suddenly want to marry him?

Didn't she like Wind Howl Heaven?

They hadn't been together for so many years, so perhaps Wind Howl Heaven didn't like Bu Feiyan.

Could it be that after Wind Howl Heaven returned, Bu Feiyan confessed, but Wind Howl Heaven didn't agree, so she was heartbroken, and then she remembered his goodness, and so she ruthlessly decided to marry him to spite Wind Howl Heaven?

Thinking this way, it seemed plausible.

For a moment, he was still somewhat happy.

No matter what Bu Feiyan's reasons were, as long as she married him, it was good.

However, he still felt that something was amiss, so he asked: "Your Majesty, may this subject know the reason? Also, weren't you going to uphold justice for Feiyan? Is it related to this matter?"

Ji Ruxue stammered a bit.

Seeing this, Cao Nie immediately felt that something was fishy.

"Your Majesty, if you don't explain clearly, I won't marry her."

Ji Ruxue looked at Bu Feiyan, and Bu Feiyan blinked. Ji Ruxue subtly nodded.

Cao Nie happened to catch this scene.

He now felt even more strongly that there was a trick involved.

"Cao, it's like this..." Ji Ruxue hesitated, then continued after a moment: "Feiyan said you took her purity, and wants you to take responsibility."

Cao Nie blinked, looking bewildered: "Huh?"

Had the matter been exposed?

But according to Bu Feiyan's temper, if she knew, she would only chase him with a sword, not ask him to take responsibility.

Just as he was wondering, Ji Ruxue's next words made his mouth twitch wildly.

"Feiyan said you took her purity in a dream, and now wants you to marry her."

Cao Nie hadn't fully recovered.

Bu Feiyan was already kneeling, tears streaming down her face: "I beg Your Majesty to uphold justice for this subject! This lecher has been defiling me in my dreams every night. When I woke up this morning, this subject found bloodstains on the bed, and after investigation, only then did I learn... learn..."

She was already sobbing uncontrollably at this point.

Cao Nie only felt his body tremble, his soul numb.

He finally understood now.

This Bu Feiyan... wanted a scapegoat!
