689: Chapter 464 689: Chapter 464 Some of them were so self-interested that when they built houses, they built them exceptionally large, even larger than those of Lai Jianlin and Ding Ling’s villas.
They’d put quite some thought into this, preparing to marry Mo Wen and become the women of this man.
The houses were built very large, yet they desired to live right next to Mo Wen’s room.
Mo Wen might have refused verbally, but he was willing at heart when faced with such a stroke of romantic luck.
Just look around, there are still plenty of bachelors here with such strong backgrounds, yet they’re single.
Though he came from a poor family, now that he was following a good master, he shared in the blessings as well.
The people from the big families carried themselves with pride; where could they find so many formidable women?
Even if there were that many formidable women, it wasn’t certain they’d fancy these men from large clans.
A few women had already set their sights on Mo Wen, and his greatest wish in life was just that: to eat well, have beauties by his side, and, in future, return home with beauties and a brood of children.
This would be the glorious legacy he’d bring back to his family after so many years away.
Under the entanglement of the beauties, Mo Wen’s words of rejection were contradicted by his heart, which tacitly accepted them.
They lived together, albeit in separate rooms, and occasionally when a few of the women got jealous, it nearly broke his cultivation.
It was like this at home, and even more so outside, attracting laughter from his fellow disciples.
The laughter was a bit embarrassing, but it also made him feel a touch of masculine pride.
While others went out as couples, he had beauties chasing after him whenever he went out, nearly catching up with the Saint Master’s pace.
In the last month or two, Jiang Tang found himself surrounded by beauties and too busy to indulge in romantic pursuits, but finally having a moment of reprieve, he continuously received work brought to him by friends.
Envied by men for his luck with the ladies, Jiang Tang felt a sense of pride, yet without time to chat and fall in love with the beauties, others mistook him for a playboy.
Jiang Tang actually wouldn’t mind being a playboy, if only he had the guts as well as the desire.
He affected seriousness in front of his subordinates, that seriousness veiled in a flirty guise.
Jiang Tang…
I’ve merely held hands with the beauties and stolen a kiss, without reaping any further rewards.
Faced with nine great beauties, Jiang Tang sometimes felt overwhelmed, wanting to get intimate and pursue romance with just one of them.
But then other women would show up and disrupt, turning his date with one into a group outing with nine.
With one woman, he could steal a kiss and an embrace, but with nine, which could he possibly hold?
With only two hands, he could only hold two beauties at most, leaving the others to become demanding, making him feel less than a beast.
Jiang Tang truly wished for more work so he could evade the pitfalls set by more women.
He wouldn’t be so foolish as to do task brought by Ye Tian without payment, let alone shut himself away for a whole day to refine pills for others.
Jiang Tang only took out one hour each day to refine pills, feeling that these people weren’t in a hurry for their pills anyway.
He needed to oversee both bases, with big matters still requiring his leadership.
The beauties beside him also needed his comforting, and then he would check how the battle between the Dragon King and the seniors was going.
Whenever he had time, he would also converse with the imprisoned elder of the North City Immortal Sect.
After returning, he never preached to his subordinates again.
He had already delegated some tasks to these subordinates, the capable leading the less able.
The Marquis would lead his familial group, while Hua Xian’er and Su Feifei had already refined a batch of medicines for them, including low, medium, and high-grade pills.
This was due to the uneven control they had over each batch of pills.
Jiang Tang’s main peak residence, where he stayed, was even more beautiful than the Imperial Palace, made from materials from the East Sea Dragon Palace, the Southern Sea Dragon Palace, and then some fine materials from Jiang Tang’s Primordial Treasure Lingtian Space.
The base had already divided each peak, which would serve different purposes.
The main peak was where Jiang Tang’s residence and the hall for discussing matters with his subordinates were located.
And with the beauties there, they would build their own Practice Rooms and studios.
The main peak now had various Practice Rooms and studios belonging to the beauties, forming areas for Alchemy, Talisman Crafting, Artifact Refining, insect rearing, Formations – these were all projects the nine beauties were keen on and constantly advancing in their research.
Jiang Tang, of course, had rooms of his own, as well as a studio with complicated tools for Artifact Refining, Formations, and Alchemy.
With so many items in the workshop, Jiang Tang generally wouldn’t use them; he had his secrets, and the items in the workshop were nothing more than a cover for him.
Whenever he entered the workshop, he would enter the space within his body or the Primordial Treasure Lingtian Space.
Having never gone to the Hell Palace, Jiang Tang didn’t have high hopes for this magical treasure.
Jiang Tang would check on his parents every now and then, his parents, those clan members, and people from other villages had been ghosts, protected by his halo of light since their transformation.
Over the past two-plus months, he had been providing pills as well as soul cultivation techniques and spells to them, and during this time, his parents’ spirits had come to be able to cultivate.
Along with the other ghosts, cultivating with soul pills, his parents’ abilities became somewhat better than the others due to Jiang Tang’s partiality.
Jiang Tang planned that once his parents were able to cultivate physical bodies, he would release them and all the other ghosts.
Staying in his space forever was not a solution; the outside world was far too beautiful.
Currently, he had the base enshrouded in black mist, with road lamps and mountaintop floodlights created by his Moonlight God, making day and night appear the same in the base.
People accustomed to sleeping in darkness initially found it hard to adapt, but they gradually got used to it.
In this base, the air was fresh and the pace of cultivation was quicker than outside.
Even ordinary people felt especially spirited and energetic inside the base.
Jiang Tang’s parents were proud to see their son becoming more and more formidable, and upon learning he had acquired property outside and even a girlfriend, they wished to go outside and meet their future daughter-in-law.
They were also curious about whether the world outside had changed during these few months.
Upon hearing their son describe the home, Mom and Dad were keen to see what it looked like.
Unfortunately, they couldn’t go outside, nor could they be exposed to light; even moonlight was off-limits.
The Primordial Treasure Lingtian Space already had moonlight and sunlight, and if it weren’t for their son’s protective halo, they couldn’t exist in the space at all.
When Jiang Tang entered the Primordial Treasure Lingtian Space, he would also see his two pets and check on the tasks his two avatars were performing.
The Primordial Treasure Lingtian Space could use the sun and moon in tandem with the outside world; Jiang Tang could remotely keep tabs on any target of interest, and that target couldn’t escape his gaze.
Inside the base, Jiang Tang used his formidable abilities to observe developments in the Southern Sea and some changes taking place in the cultivation world.
The three monkeys had been dispatched to monitor, the three princes of the East Sea Dragon King, and another to keep an eye on the princesses.
The monkeys didn’t mind, as it gave them a chance to have some fun outdoors.
They would only intervene when the princes attempted to seize bodies or kill for treasures, disrupting their plans.
At first, the three princes thought they were up against a formidable enemy, but later, when they realized they were dealing with monkeys they had previously fought, their hatred for them intensified.
Unable to obtain bodies, and their malevolent schemes disrupted, the princes came up with a plan to seduce unmarried and married women in the cultivation world.
In the beginning, many did not fall for it, as the women they approached were all decent wives.
They even encountered retribution from their husbands.
After some study and contemplation, the three princes came up with a notion that one could discern the decency of a proper lady by looking at her eyes and eyebrows.
The Eldest Prince, Prince Err, and Prince San conspired and decided to part ways; they chose not to be together to see how the monkeys would cause mischief.
After observing, the Eldest Prince noticed a street with many houses teeming with women, among whom were cultivators.
The Eldest Prince, taking advantage of the night, transformed into a suave, dashing young master; after all, he was of an Immortal Body and Immortal soul and could change his appearance as he wished.
Upon entering the house, many women seeing a charming man approaching greeted him:
“My lord, let me keep you company as you drink.”
The Eldest Prince suddenly found himself surrounded by a bevy of women, feeling as though he had reentered the palace, a sensation he hadn’t experienced in years.
Knowing he had no money when he entered, he turned some stones into silver taels as he walked, and with his hands full of these transformed silver taels, he generously distributed them to the women around him.
