Yu Weilian watched Xia Wanxin pout with annoyance and couldn’t help but find it amusing.
Inwardly, she thought, Doesn’t this woman actually believe Lin Chen belongs only to her?
Yu Weilian did like Lin Chen, true, but she had never thought of monopolizing him.
She knew Lin Chen better than Xia Wanxin did; Lin Chen had several senior sisters in the Jade Cauldron Sect. Given his loyal and faithful nature, he would certainly not abandon them.
Thus, Yu Weilian naturally wouldn’t dream of having Lin Chen all to herself.
At that moment, with Yu Weilian holding his arm, Lin Chen felt her imposing chest unintentionally make contact with him, and an evil fire uncontrollably flared in his heart.
Yu Weilian, with her Charming Fox Physique, had a seductive power that Lin Chen found somewhat overwhelming.
However, Xia Wanxin’s sudden shout snapped Lin Chen to his senses, and he hurriedly extricated himself from Yu Weilian’s grasp.
Seeing Lin Chen act so understandingly, the anger in Xia Wanxin’s heart began to subside. But when she thought of Yu Weilian’s allure and worried she couldn’t compete, her thoughts turned to Qiu Ya, who was following them.
Although Xia Wanxin verbally claimed to be Lin Chen’s woman, in reality, she was somewhat shy—typical bravado.
"Qiu Ya, tonight it’s your turn to sleep with Brother Lin Chen," Xia Wanxin said to Qiu Ya in front of Yu Weilian.
"Ah... sleep, sleep together."
"I, I don’t dare," Qiu Ya responded, her face flushed with embarrassment, unable to believe Xia Wanxin would propose such a thing. Puzzled, she wondered whether Senior Sister Xia had done something with Brother Lin Chen the night before.
"You’re really hopeless. Don’t you like Brother Lin Chen?"
"Didn’t you see how that saucy fox was behaving? If we don’t show a little more spunk, Brother Lin Chen will be seduced away by that vixen," said Xia Wanxin, looking at Qiu Ya as if she was clueless.
"Look, if you spend tonight sleeping with Lin Chen, I’ll let you be his little wife in the future," Xia Wanxin declared, deploying her trump card while observing Qiu Ya’s timid demeanor.
Xia Wanxin could see that deep down, Qiu Ya liked Lin Chen. However, with her low Cultivation and having only recently become an Inner Sect Disciple, she felt inferior and unworthy of Lin Chen.
"I still don’t dare!" Qiu Ya’s heart pounded upon hearing Xia Wanxin’s words, somewhat tempted. Just like Xia Wanxin guessed, she felt insecure and believed she couldn’t become Lin Chen’s wife, but the possibility of becoming a concubine seemed within reach.
Of course, Qiu Ya had always wanted to stay by Lin Chen’s side as a maid. If Xia Wanxin’s words had come directly from Lin Chen, Qiu Ya would have agreed without hesitation.
But now, Xia Wanxin’s suggestion made her hesitate, worried that Lin Chen would be angry.
At this point, Xia Wanxin, seeing Qiu Ya’s timid expression, became increasingly annoyed.
She was well aware that if it were her turn to sleep with Lin Chen, she certainly wouldn’t dare either; it was all just talk...
Yet, if it were Yu Weilian in question, that bewitching woman capable of enchanting everyone, she probably would go through with it. Orıginal content can be found at NoveI(F)ire.net
Yu Weilian slowly approached the two, giving Xia Wanxin and Qiu Ya a faintly seductive smile.
Entranced by her charm, Qiu Ya instantly felt that Yu Weilian was nothing less than an angel descended from heaven, and only such a woman was worthy of Lin Chen.
Seeing the two women react this way, Lin Chen immediately felt a headache coming on. After a brief conversation, he went to help the Formation Sect’s army set up camp.
The Formation Sect’s army encamped there, and the people from the Divine Flame Sect also stayed with the Formation Sect’s forces.
Having seen Yu Weilian today, Xia Wanxin couldn’t shake a profound unease, constantly keeping a covert eye on Yu Weilian, worried she might do something against her own interests.
Of course, the unease in Xia Wanxin’s heart was not about her personal safety, but her standing in Lin Chen’s eyes.
Suddenly, Xia Wanxin noticed Yu Weilian leaving her own tent and heading towards Lin Chen’s, and her heart immediately leaped with shock, suspecting Yu Weilian might be up to something.
The moment Yu Weilian was about to enter Lin Chen’s tent, Xia Wanxin shouted at her to stop.
"Yu Weilian, it’s so late, what are you doing going to my man’s tent?"
Xia Wanxin stood tall, speaking with the authority of the mistress of the house.
At that, Yu Weilian couldn’t help but laugh.
"At this late hour, naturally, I am going to sleep with my husband."
"You keep saying he’s your man, too, so why don’t you go sleep with him? Better yet, why not do it together?"
Yu Weilian looked at Xia Wanxin, smiling coyly.
"What nonsense are you spouting? Lin Chen’s wife is clearly me. Who are you to join us in bed?"
Face flushing with embarrassment, Xia Wanxin glared at Yu Weilian.
Seeing this, Yu Weilian’s lips curled into another smile.
Her opponent wanted to contend with her, but was ultimately still too green.
Yu Weilian slowly walked up to Xia Wanxin, teasing her chin with a finger, and applying her seductive power, causing Xia Wanxin to nod involuntarily.
After nodding, Xia Wanxin immediately felt her cheeks burning hot; she couldn’t understand how she, the princess of Yanwu Country, could agree to such a thing.
However, when the two women entered Lin Chen’s tent, they found it completely empty.
It turned out that Lin Chen had noticed them approaching his tent while they were caught up in their rivalry and jealousy.
Lin Chen would be lying if he said he didn’t care for the two women.
But given the current situation, where was the time for romance? His true priority was to enter the ruins early and retrieve the magic treasures.
Lin Chen’s cultivation had already broken through to the Heavenly Human Realm; theoretically, he should no longer be able to enter the ruins.
However, Lin Chen had used his Divine Soul to probe earlier that day and discovered the Teleportation Array leading to the ruins had loosened compared to when they exited a few months ago, presumably tampered with by the Dark Demon Race.
But that slight loosening in the formation would only be noticed by those proficient in the Way of Formation. And it was only by leveraging that subtle gap that a Martial Artist whose cultivation was above the Heavenly Human Realm, yet not exceeding it by too much, could enter.
