Mu Chen carefully counted his women: Shennong’s daughter, Catherine, Dongfang Aoxue, Liu Yuxi, Su Fei, Yao Yue, Dragon Hollyhock, Xue Jinxuan, Qi Qiangwei, Qin Xueqi, Shui Linglong, Ye Xian’er, Moon God, Lin Xiaomu, Leng Ningzi, Tong Lisha, and possibly the Evil Spirit—that’s a total of seventeen women. As for the childhood sweethearts, Wang Yuxuan and another girl, Mu Chen could only feel helpless.
Fortunately, all the women were very kind and sensible, and although sometimes a bit violent towards him, they were otherwise perfect.
Among all the women, Mu Chen truly loved only two the most: Su Fei and Liu Yuxi. Their place in Mu Chen’s heart was indisputable; the other women, though technically his wives, could rather be called mistresses, receiving love but very little of it.
No matter who Mu Chen was with in bed, he made it clear beforehand that he had many women and could not offer much love, but all the women accepted this.
"Ah, what a hassle," Mu Chen sighed while continuing to barbecue.
As for the women, Catherine showcased her talent by singing to liven things up, while Su Fei rarely brought everyone a Phoenix Dance, stunning with her beauty and dance moves.
Qi Qiangwei also danced for Mu Chen on Hell Island, displaying her legs and shaking her hips; if it weren’t for Mu Chen seeing too many beauties and having strong self-control, he would have had a nosebleed.
Dragon Hollyhock’s dance moves were graceful, her figure alluring, and her curves charming. Adding to her innocence and purity, she was truly captivating.
Similarly, Shennong’s daughter also danced for everyone, performing a dream-like dance that mesmerized the audience.
The other women who did not perform felt utterly useless, knowing nothing and almost moved to tears.
Liu Yuxi was pouting; after all, she was the Empress, yet she had nothing to showcase, suppressed again by Su Fei.
Liu Yuxi was well aware that lately Mu Chen habitually turned to her because Su Fei was pregnant and couldn’t be intimate, so he sought her out. If Su Fei gave birth, she would have nothing left.
"Honey, how about singing a song for everyone?" Mu Chen asked Liu Yuxi with a smile, genuinely curious about her singing voice.
"I can’t," Liu Yuxi responded tersely.
"Then sing something you are good at."
"My best is ’Two Tigers’," Liu Yuxi said weakly.
"Hahaha... ’Two Tigers’..." Mu Chen couldn’t hold back and burst into laughter.
The other women were initially not going to laugh, but with Mu Chen leading by example, and the situation itself being somewhat funny, they couldn’t help but cover their mouths and giggle.
"I’m not singing anymore."
"Sorry, honey, my bad, you sing, I promise not to laugh anymore," Mu Chen earnestly said.
"Come on, Yuxi, it’s rare for you to sing, do sing well."
After some persuasion from the women, Liu Yuxi was somewhat moved and said, "Then I’ll sing."
"You guys mustn’t laugh."
"We promise not to laugh."
"That’s more like it."
At that moment, Liu Yuxi was not entirely confident. Singing was indeed not something she really studied or practiced often, nor had she many opportunities to listen to others sing, so she didn’t even know if her way of singing was correct.
Without giving further thought, Liu Yuxi started singing.
Liu Yuxi had just sung "Two Tigers," which is supposed to have no tails...
At that moment, everyone was stunned, their faces a picture of shock.
Liu Yuxi talked of singing, but her tune was completely off the melody of "Two Tigers," with nobody knowing where the tune went. However, considering Liu Yuxi’s singing style, it was not to say it was unpleasant, just oddly hilarious.
Liu Yuxi’s voice, which was incredibly sweet, coupled with her off-tune singing, was just too funny.
Mu Chen had been holding back his laughter, but eventually he couldn’t hold it in any longer and burst into laughter, causing all the ladies to laugh along heartily.
"Jerk, I’m not talking to you anymore." Liu Yuxi pouted and started walking away.
"Wife, who said you could leave?" Mu Chen immediately caught up with Liu Yuxi, winked, swept her into his arms, and said with a smile on his lips.
"Jerk, put me down right now." Liu Yuxi demanded, pinching Mu Chen’s ear immediately.
"I forgot to tell my wife, my physical body is terrifying. I used to just pretend when you all bullied me."
"What do you think you’re doing, you jerk?"
"My dear wives, you’ve got it all wrong; I just really want to hold Yuxi while we eat and chat." Mu Chen said, then swiftly took a seat with Liu Yuxi sitting on his lap, their posture flirtatiously ambiguous.
"Wuu wuu..." Liu Yuxi felt on the verge of tears.
"Wife, open your mouth and have some meat."
"No," said Liu Yuxi seriously.
"If you don’t, I will spank you."
"You..." Liu Yuxi, pouting, bit into the meat.
"Ha ha ha." Watching Liu Yuxi being teased, all the women burst into laughter.
"You’re still laughing!" Liu Yuxi shouted.
"We won’t, we won’t."
"Hmph, jerk! You only have eyes for your Empress; you don’t care about us concubines." Su Fei said sadly.
"Wife, ah!" Mu Chen also offered a piece of meat to Su Fei.
"Jerk, we want some too."
The ladies spent the time bickering and teasing each other.
After the noise and laughter, the women left the villa one after another.
However, two women stayed behind, Dragon Hollyhock and Catherine.
Dragon Hollyhock was a simple and obedient girl; initially, if Mu Chen had asked her to undress, she might have shyly complied. But after listening to Liu Yuxi along the way, her gaze towards Mu Chen changed repeatedly.
Mu Chen was helpless; although Liu Yuxi couldn’t defeat her, Mu Chen couldn’t stop the women from chatting.
"These years have been tough on you." Next to the swimming pool, Mu Chen said lightly as he watched Catherine swimming.
Catherine’s figure was almost perfect, stunning and explosive. Now under the influence of Mu Chen’s Bone Marrow Cleansing Needle, it became even more irresistible, adding to the tempting allure of a wet swim. Mu Chen himself gulped.
"Where is it not tough?"
"Alright, honey, I want it in the swimming pool," Catherine said earnestly.
"Got it." Mu Chen replied, stripped down to his briefs, and directly dived into the pool, swimming up to Catherine for a passionate kiss.
"Daddy, what are you doing with the new mommy again?" Just then, Yaya appeared and asked earnestly.
"Yaya, who let you come here?" Mu Chen was on the verge of tears; every time he wanted to do something naughty, there was always an interruption.
