Chapter 614 A bunch of lambs (2)
Ten women of outstanding beauty sat in the courtyard, glaring at each other.
Except for “Xue Jing,” none of them had any contact with anyone from the Cheng family.
They really didn’t know why they were invited, and because they felt guilty,
their expressions were all apprehensive.
“Xue Jing” looked around,
and her mature and beautiful face was also full of
confusion. She didn’t understand why
Qi Huang, knowing her identity,
still wanted to call her to a team-building activity with this group of “ordinary” women.
As the saying goes, guests should be treated with respect. Qi Huang did not neglect them, enthusiastically serving each of them a cup of good tea, and then offered some melon seeds and pastries.
“What are you doing? A blind date?”
Cheng Hong Ling immediately transmitted her thoughts to reprimand her.
“Don’t you remember? These are our potential allies!”
Qi Huang replied as a matter of course.
“Allies? You’d better think so.”
Cheng Hong Ling threatened coldly.
“Cough, cough…”
Qi Huang coughed awkwardly twice, then looked around the entire courtyard. She saw beautiful women everywhere, which was extremely pleasing to the eye, so she praised, “The sisters here are all outstanding in their looks. Sitting in this small courtyard is like a hundred flowers blooming, truly bringing glory to our humble abode!”
“Fairy Hong Ling is joking. When it comes to beauty, all of us combined cannot compare to a single finger of yours.”
A plump beauty with dignified demeanor spoke complacently, returning the compliment. Her name was “Fan E,” though it was likely an alias.
“I didn’t say anything.”
Cheng Hong Ling denied proudly from the side.
“Hehe…”
Qi Huang smiled awkwardly but politely, and continued, “That’s natural. If I couldn’t even compare to you all, how could I be chosen as the main wife by Lü Yi?”
The ten women’s expressions stiffened upon hearing this. After all, they were also chosen from a thousand beauties, and who wouldn’t have a bit of pride?
Cheng Hong Ling, who had a bit of pride, instead curled her lips upon hearing this and looked at the clone with appreciation.
“Sisters, you must have just arrived at the HongHua Sect not too long ago, right? Do you find it comfortable to live here?”
Qi Huang asked solicitously again.
“Yes, we are very used to it! The HongHua Sect not only has good security but also beautiful scenery and is very lively. Who wouldn’t like it?”
At this moment, another charming beauty spoke complacently. The other women nodded in agreement.
“With me here, the security is naturally very good. The scenery is also beautiful, after all, this is a poor and remote area. As for it being lively…”
Qi Huang deliberately paused here, then said, “As for being lively, where can it compare to the Lü family of the Great Wall Empire? Why don’t sisters go and live there directly?”
Upon hearing this, the faces of the ten women changed, and they began to feel restless.
“Fairy Hong Ling is joking. We are not related to the Lü family. Why should we go and live there?”
A cool beauty with a high ponytail argued, her name was “Tang Yu.”
“Yes, unlike Fairy Hong Ling, we are not Lü Yi’s fiancée. What right do we have to live in the Lü family?”
The plump beauty Fan E agreed.
“Who says only the main wife can live in the Lü manor? Can’t concubines do so too?”
Qi Huang said calmly.
Upon hearing this, the women below trembled, and more than half of them stood up with a “whoosh.”
“What concubine? I don’t know what Fairy Hong Ling means?”
The cool beauty Tang Yu tried to argue.
“Since you are not Lü Yi’s concubine, why did you come to the HongHua Sect to inquire about my situation? And you even planned to kill me!”
Qi Huang retorted with a half-smile, then looked around, “You…”
“They are the same!”
“What? They are all Lü Yi’s concubines?”
The ten women were startled and scattered like startled birds, then looked at each other from a distance, guarding against each other.
“Hehe, they’re going to have infighting!”
Qi Huang teased calmly.
“Everyone, listen to me. Since our identities and intentions have been exposed, she definitely won’t let us go. We should unite to have hope of winning,”
Fan E reminded them very calmly.
“Yes. She has even slain Lü Yi’s clone. Her strength is definitely above the Peak of the Incarnation Realm. If we act individually, none of us will be able to leave here today.”
Tang Yu also agreed.
“No, don’t you plan to listen to what she has to say first?”
Xue Jing couldn’t help but speak. She knew that Qi Huang wouldn’t call her here to kill her, otherwise, she wouldn’t have said those words before.
“What’s there to listen to? Since our intentions have been exposed, she definitely won’t be merciful. Let’s settle this with our skills.”
Tang Yu said without further ado, drawing a treasure sword and attacking Qi Huang. Her white dress fluttered, giving her a somewhat otherworldly aura.
The other women also understood the importance of unity, so they each took out their weapons and flew towards Qi Huang, intending to fight to the death.
“You don’t want to listen? Then kneel!”
Qi Huang smiled mockingly. Her spiritual sense erupted from her body, crushing the women who were attacking her.
“Thump!”
The figures of several women suddenly stopped, then like birds with broken wings, they fell down and knelt on the ground, trembling intensely. Although they struggled desperately, they couldn’t even move a finger, and their faces gradually showed expressions of terror.
“A bunch of lambs dare to make a move?”
Qi Huang walked over with her hands behind her back, strollin leisurely.
The remaining women who didn’t make a move were also terrified, their faces bleached, and they
retreated one after another, thinking, “How can she be so strong?”
“Kill them all!”
Cheng Hong Ling said expressionlessly. With her personality, she naturally wouldn’t let go of those who attacked her.
Qi Huang did not comply. Firstly, she couldn’t bring herself to do it, and secondly, she didn’t want to cause trouble. If she killed these women, it would surely attract more trouble.
“Xue Jing is right. Don’t you plan to listen to my thoughts before making a move?”
Qi Huang said helplessly, then withdrew her spiritual sense. “I never said I wanted to kill you!”
“Then… what exactly do you want?”
Tang Yu asked, trying to stand up with difficulty. Sweat was already dripping from her forehead, indicating the immense pressure she had just endured.
“First, answer me one question: What business is it of yours whether I marry into the Lü family or not? Why did you try to kill me?”
Qi Huang retorted.
“The Lü family has already notified us that on the sixth day of the sixth month next year, all of us concubines-to-be will be called to be your dowry. Didn’t you know?”
Fan E asked with a pale face.
“So that’s how it is. I really didn’t know.”
Qi Huang suddenly understood everything.
“So what? If I don’t marry into the Lü family, will they let you go?”
Qi Huang asked subconsciously.
“Impossible, but at least it can delay the time!”
Tang Yu gritted her teeth.
“Delaying the time? Isn’t that just treating the symptoms and not the root cause?”
Qi Huang retorted.
“What a cowardly move.”
Cheng Hong Ling also reprimanded, “If you don’t want to marry Lü Yi, you should find a way to deal with the Lü family. Why come and target me? It’s purely self-deception.”
“How can we not want to? But the Lü family is too powerful, and they have the Immortal Tablet guarding them, so it’s not something we can shake. Therefore, we can only delay the time and think of a solution slowly.”
Fan E said mournfully.
“If you just want to delay the time, then you don’t need to worry at all. I never intended to marry Lü Yi,”
Qi Huang explained.
“Really?”
Fan E’s face finally regained some color, and several other women’s faces showed excitement upon hearing this.
“Why should we believe you? Who knows if what you’re saying is true or false?”
Tang Yu questioned.
“Yes. It’s possible that you’re saying this to delay the time and avoid trouble from people like us,”
the other charming woman agreed.
“First, my strength is much greater than yours, so there’s no need for me to lie to you. Second, if I really wanted to marry Lü Yi, I could go and live in the Lü manor right now. What could you do to me?”
Qi Huang refuted logically and reasonably.
The ten women were speechless for a moment, because it was indeed true. If Cheng Hong Ling and Qi Huang were really afraid of them causing trouble, they could go to the Lü family immediately, and no one would dare to say anything.
“Go back. I will not marry Lü Yi, and I guarantee that after the sixth day of the sixth month next year, the Lü family’s Immortal Tablet will not be able to unleash its immortal might for seven years. If you are called to be concubines during this period, if you dare, try to resist.”
Qi Huang ordered them to leave.
The women looked at each other, and finally, they left the courtyard one after another. Their identities had been exposed, and Qi Huang had explained clearly. There was no point in continuing to pester her. However, they didn’t know when they would leave.
“Alas, a group of pitiful women. I wonder how many of them dare to resist.”
Qi Huang sighed.
“That depends on whether they are truly determined not to marry Lü Yi. Even without the threat of the Celestial Tablet, they would have to pay a heavy price to resist the Lü family,”
Cheng Hong Ling shook her head with pity.
