I Only Marry Widows-Chapter 216 - 151: The More Children, the Better

But what they don’t know is that following Lu Chengfeng will be no different from living as widows afterward.

Lu Chengfeng knows very well that his concubines will increase in number, and most will be there just to receive gifts, without any real emotions.

If these many women are not handled well, it could seriously damage his prestige in the Sect, and if these women start making trouble, it could get even more ridiculous and bothersome.

If the number of women increases, some might be flirtatious and cunning, possibly even cuckolding him. Although there’s no affection, having it happen would still be disgusting.

As more women come into his life, it’s impossible to satisfy each one, and naturally, problems will arise over time.

One day, he might meet a woman in the street calling him husband, and he wouldn’t even know which concubine she is...

The thought of such an embarrassing situation turns his face green, and so he’s always been planning how to solve this issue.

Alas, since ancient times, even the Emperor could not control his harem, with concubines indulging in affairs, even with eunuchs, and such incidents are endless. Even after racking his brain, he couldn’t come up with a good solution.

If it were just a fling for a night, he wouldn’t mind. Just pull up his pants and leave. But they demand status.

Once given status, he can’t allow them to cuckold him, right?

Selling them off to other men would be even more infuriating. After all, they’re given status and are nominally his wives and concubines. Giving them to other men would make him a laughingstock.

Lu Chengfeng thinks back and forth, feeling at a loss.

He even considered first tricking them into becoming his concubines secretly, then killing them all off once he received gifts, ridding himself of trouble once and for all.

This way, there wouldn’t be future troubles, and fewer people would speculate or reveal his secrets.

Yet, after much pondering, he abandoned this idea.

In situations not threatening his life, he was unwilling to harm others first, acting like a beast.

"Taking concubines is easy, but too many women are trouble!"

Fretting over his future, Lu Chengfeng takes three women back to the sect.

He lost seven concubines in the chaos before, leaving five, so he arranges them with the three new women at Bixiao Peak, finds some women to care for them, and lets it be.

Now that turmoil in the sect has subsided, no one cares about his private matters, not even many know he brought these three women back.

"In the future, having women live at Bixiao Peak is ideal; it’s large enough even for hundreds."

"I’ll appoint Suyi as Peak Lord; if not possible, let Zhu Yuxian manage them, forbidding them from leaving the mountain, enjoying luxury and splendor instead."

"If some have potential and are willing to work hard, achieving martial prowess, they can serve by my side."

Lu Chengfeng comes up with a less-than-ideal solution, surprisingly satisfied, his face unwittingly breaking into a smile.

After settling the three women, he marries them into the sect that day, consummates the marriages, and thoroughly impresses them, earning praise as a good husband and brother.

They have status now; he can’t simply be taken advantage of, right?

No matter how often he’ll see them, he should still pamper them and savor the experience, tending to the garden.

After a night of pleasure, in the middle of the night, his surviving concubines notice the commotion.

They’d previously indulged with him together, twelve sisters taking turns serving.

After facing life and death together, emotions run high; unwilling to be outdone, they join the newly inducted concubines in the room.

The night turned into a storm of passion, with waves rising and the golden rod setting the shore.

By dawn, serenity spread across the Bixiao Peak.

"Bixiao Peak, tsk tsk, within lies true intent!"

"Ha ha ha!"

Lu Chengfeng, feeling proud, holds power, enjoys beauties, and awaits a gift from the Celestial Human.

Despite a disaster in the sect, he’s gained much from the ordeal, and potentially more benefits lie ahead.

Humming a tune, he sneaks unseen back to the Trapped Dragon Abyss.

Arriving, Zhu Yuxian is already awake.

She meditates cross-legged, with a chilling knife still lodged in her chest, a harrowing sight.

Lu Chengfeng gently lands on the stone platform, startling her awake.

Seeing him, Zhu Yuxian breathes a slight sigh of relief. Though safe on the platform, protected by the Dragon-Binding Rope, she assumes Lu Chengfeng won.

Not seeing Lu Chengfeng for a while worried her.

Finally, seeing him, her anxiety relieved.

"How is it? What’s the situation outside now? The woman?" Zhu Yuxian asks.

Lu Chengfeng chuckles, "All three thousand Frost Soul Cavalry of Youdu are annihilated; Princess Consort of King Xiang is confined at the bottommost level, completely bound by the Dragon-Binding Rope, unable to escape."

"And you? How’s the injury? How can the knife be extracted?"

Listening silently, Zhu Yuxian had some expectations of this outcome, but looking into Lu Chengfeng’s eyes feels somewhat different.
