Pursued by the Top Grade Saintess after Engagement Annulled-Chapter 296 - 294: Comforting Qi Wan’Er, The Strange Soldiers
Li Shiqing rambled on about many secrets of the Divine Domain, then scratched her head.
"Next time you meet Wanqing, you should chat with her more."
"However, she’s somewhat similar to her mother in this regard, high-spirited and stubborn."
"If she knew we’re talking about her behind her back, she’d probably feel embarrassed."
Xia Feng smiled bitterly: "If it weren’t for your reminder, I wouldn’t even have noticed Wanqing’s situation. I’m too irresponsible."
Li Shiqing hugged him and took the opportunity to give Xia Feng a quick peck on the cheek while Qi Wan’Er wasn’t paying attention, gently leaning against his chest.
"It’s not your fault. Mainly, we didn’t want to bother you with these matters."
"The last time father-in-law and mother-in-law visited, we chatted with them and knew you’re incredibly busy down below."
"So everyone behaved and didn’t want to trouble you with this stuff."
Xia Feng held the two of them emotionally: "Nothing is more important than you. I will definitely improve my strength as soon as possible, and then openly bring you back as my wives of the Xia Family."
Li Shiqing and Qi Wan’Er both blushed simultaneously.
After spending a long time inside the Dream Realm Pearl, Li Shiqing sensed the time outside: "I must go. Recently, talisman making has been overwhelmingly busy."
"But it’s good to learn a lot of experience, so it’s not too bad."
"While husband is working hard down there, we naturally won’t hold you back."
After Li Shiqing left, Qi Wan’Er relaxed considerably and took the initiative to snuggle into Xia Feng’s arms.
Xia Feng patted her back: "Wan’Er, take care of yourself. The Demon Sound Divine King doesn’t care about you, but I do, so make sure to take care of yourself, understand?"
Qi Wan’Er’s eyes were slightly red. She had always felt she couldn’t help Xia Feng with anything.
With the accomplished main wife Sun Yazhu and many sisters excelling in their specialties,
and her Great Dao not being strong, her presence was weak, always feeling timid and even afraid to approach her husband willingly.
After reaching the Divine Domain, the Divine King didn’t care for her either, making Qi Wan’Er feel even more depressed, as if she was dispensable.
Now, with Xia Feng gently patting her back in comfort, Qi Wan’Er couldn’t hold back a few golden teardrops.
Xia Feng lowered his head to kiss away the tears at the corners of her eyes: "Wan’Er, each of you is indispensable to me. Don’t underestimate yourself."
"The other sisters and I all care a lot about you."
Qi Wan’Er buried her head into his chest, nodding repeatedly: "I know, I don’t care about the Divine King’s attitude. I don’t mind at all."
Xia Feng’s eyes showed a hint of pity as he gently stroked her hair.
If she truly didn’t care, she wouldn’t show it so clearly. 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺
Perhaps not only Qi Wan’Er, but the other women were the same, having grown up thinking they were orphans, despairing of familial affection.
Now suddenly being told they were the daughters of the Divine King and brought back.
In their hearts, they couldn’t let go of Xia Feng, but perhaps also had hopes for family bonds.
It’s just now, the Divine King’s attitude might be completely different from what they imagined.
After crying, Qi Wan’Er seemed somewhat embarrassed, head bowed, eyes and cheeks slightly red.
She found some random excuse and hurriedly left the world of the Dream Realm Pearl.
But seeing the slight curve of her lips as she left, it seemed her mood had improved quite a bit.
Xia Feng stretched lazily, organizing the Great Dao insights he’d gained from spending time with the two women in the Dream Realm Pearl, hesitated for a moment, and then exited as well.
When Feng Yu came to report on the White Tiger Empire’s situation, Xia Feng was sitting in the tent looking over maps.
Upon entering, Feng Yu instinctively glanced toward the bed and, not seeing anyone, turned to look at the main seat.
He gave a light cough, a bit embarrassed by his reflex.
Every time he came in, the Emperor’s Son was usually either cultivating or sleeping in bed, making him instinctively think that the Emperor’s Son would be there.
Xia Feng didn’t pay mind to his little concern, looking up: "Are things almost wrapped up?"
Feng Yu showed hesitation: "The entire White Tiger nation has surrendered and is being integrated."
"But it should be the former Three Kingdoms Alliance. There’s still a considerable number of Demon Empire and Death Empire soldiers by the coast, and they’re simply..."
Feng Yu thought for a moment and carefully chose a word: "Resilient to the death."
Xia Feng’s eyebrows couldn’t help but raise. After just dealing with those hypocritical White Tiger Emperors, now resilient soldiers?
And they’re not even White Tiger soldiers, but from other countries?
Xia Feng couldn’t help but ask: "Is it because their families are still in their own countries, driving them to be like this?"
Feng Yu clicked his tongue: "No, they appear strange, as if controlled by something."
"Once surrounded, without even exchanging a few words, many soldiers would self-destruct."
"From their expressions, they didn’t seem like they intended to self-destruct. They likely didn’t even know they were about to, and many looked startled as they died."
Xia Feng’s expression grew more serious. He originally planned to achieve success on two fronts, using the White Tiger Empire as a base to draw out the Death Empire and Demon Empire’s alliance.
But hearing such news forced him to be more cautious.
After all, the White Tiger Empire’s soldiers weren’t the Great Xia soldiers who’ve been fighting alongside him for years; they’re still in a period of adjustment.
The attack on the White Tiger Empire went smoothly because he was overseeing from the rear. Both the White Tiger Emperors and the soldiers were intimidated before the battle even began.
But hearing this from Feng Yu, with Demon Empire and Death Empire soldiers mysteriously self-destructing, he instantly pulled back the idea of attacking them.
Regardless, he needed to drill these soldiers before acting, increasing the chances of victory.
With this in mind, he looked at Feng Yu, whose skin crawled under the gaze: "Emperor’s Son, what’s wrong?"
"Did I do something wrong?"
Seeing Feng Yu instinctively searching for his own faults, Xia Feng’s lips curved into a slight smile: "No, I just wanted to give you a task."
Feng Yu’s eyes instantly brightened: "Emperor’s Son, tell me. I guarantee I’ll complete the task."
When Xia Feng proposed he stay in the White Tiger Empire to train these soldiers and reorganize the empire, his face scrunched up immediately.
But since it was a task from the Emperor’s Son, he didn’t refuse, only responding with a slightly aggrieved look.
"Emperor’s Son, do you think I’m a bit annoying?"
