243: Unlucky Family
🕑 Added 2025-04-27 20:36:00 +0000 UTCA few hours later, Yun Wuji had subdued all thirty dragons and marked them with the Infinite Agony Soul Mark.
He didn't bother marking the other dragons still in the Dragon's territory. These thirty were the strongest, each at the late stage Divine Master Realm. Controlling them was like controlling the entire clan. Not to mention, he had no use for the others, too weak to be of any value, they'd only serve as cannon fodder.
Yun Wuji gave them a Soul Transmission Crystal and ordered one of the dragons to always stay outside the God Realm of Absolute Beginning, ready to receive his orders.
He instructed the rest to hunt beasts at the Divine Sovereign and Divine Master realms, collect their cores, and gather any valuable resources they could find, especially the Divine Water of Absolute Beginning.
The God Realm of Absolute Beginning is a world of its own, completely separate from the Primal Chaos. No method of communication is possible between the two worlds. Once someone enters it, they will be unable to communicate with the outside world.
This is naturally not absolute. Perhaps there are some powers that own artifacts allowing communication, and if Yun Wuji set his mind to it, he could easily create something to allow it. But he didn't feel it was necessary. It wasn't something urgent for now, so he didn't bother wasting time on it, there were many other things he needed to do.
Once he dealt with everything, Yun Wuji deactivated Invictus. His indifferent face softened, his cold eyes returning to their warm, gentle light. He smiled at his three women and said, "Thanks for the help."
"You're our man. Why so polite now?" Mu Xuanyin crossed her arms over her big chest, drawing envious gazes from Luo Guxie and Jasmine as she replied.
At that moment, Jasmine's face suddenly turned pale, and blood seeped from her lips. Her legs lost their strength, and her body swayed.
"Jasmine!" Yun Wuji's expression changed to one of panic as he quickly ran to her, holding her in his arms to support her. "Did you get injured? Are you okay?" he asked worriedly, Light Profound Energy shining from both his hands as he spoke.
The plan he had prepared minimized the potential injuries they could face, and he had warned them many times to retreat immediately if they encountered any danger. If they failed to steal the Divine Fruit, he still had a backup plan. Though he was reluctant to use it, he could always rely on the Sky Poison Pearl to deal with the Dragons.
What surprised him even more was that, logically, Mu Xuanyin, who had to face the Dragon Emperor, should have been the one to get injured if anyone were to. On the other hand, Jasmine's role was to steal the fruit once the dragons were distracted by Xuanyin.
What he didn't know was that both women had changed the plan midway, all due to Jasmine's insistence.
"Hmm, I'm fine now." Jasmine pressed her head against his chest, tilting up to meet his gaze with a sly smile. "But... this princess suspects these injuries might flare up again if a certain someone doesn't pamper her properly. And it'll need to last at least a month."
"Tsk!"
"Tch!"
The voices of annoyance from the other women sounded behind them.
"..." Yun Wuji's worried expression froze mid-panic. Soon, thick veins throbbed across his forehead.
'Give me back my fucking concern! Damn it!'
He barely resisted the urge to drop her, let her crash to the dirt, and turn her over his knee for a proper spanking.
Fuck! This stupid Star God has learned to be this shameless! It must've been the Evil Infant's fault, she had contaminated her with her shamelessness!
But it was also true that Jasmine had been injured for his sake. He bent down and kissed her red lips lightly, then said, "Let's go back."
He held Jasmine, who was clinging to him, and flew off, with the other two women following behind him, their faces sullen.
Yun Wuji knew they must've been jealous, but there was nothing he could do about it now. He only had two hands and could only care for Jasmine at this time.
Of course, if he knew that Jasmine had gotten injured on purpose just to get his attention, who knows what his face would look like?
....
Leaving the God Realm of Absolute Beginning, the group flew east, returning to the Eastern Divine Region.
This time, they weren't in a hurry. They had already perfectly achieved their goal and even exceeded it by a great deal, subduing more than thirty late-stage Divine Masters! (Dragon Emperor + 30 Dragons)
That was more than the combined number of both the Moon God Realm and the Star God Realm!
At Jasmine's insistence, the group didn't fly at full speed. She clung to Yun Wuji's arms, stealing kisses every now and then while shooting triumphant glances at the other two women.
"Don't let her get to you. I'll reward each of you properly later," Yun Wuji couldn't stand how dark their faces had become because of Jasmine's teasing. He transmitted to them, "I'll grant each of you a request for your help this time. Is this alright?"
Almost instantly, the two women's dark faces changed to excitement. Even Xuanyin's usually cold expression brightened, and her eyes shone with anticipation.
Luo Guxie no longer cared about the Star God's smug face and transmitted back to him, "Really?! Yang'er, I love you so much!"
If anyone were to see the usually cold and untouchable Fairy Guxie so happy over just a few words from a young man, their worldview would certainly crumble!
Yun Wuji smiled back. Too bad he couldn't use his Omnipresent Domain to be in multiple places at once; otherwise, he wouldn't have to deal with situations like this.
But this was part of the joy in having a harem, managing the needs and jealousies of his women. A perfectly harmonious couple was rare enough, let alone an entire harem. If none of his women fought over him or burned with jealousy, it'd mean they didn't truly love him… they're just there because they were either forced or for their own benefits.
At this time, suddenly Mu Xuanyin narrowed her eyes and said, "Someone is coming this way." As the strongest of them, she was the first to sense the presence of the people coming their way.
"Who?" Yun Wuji stopped and asked with a frown.
"It's the Glazed Light Realm," Mu Xuanyin replied.
The aura of a person is very hard to change. Once someone senses it, they can easily memorize it and identify them, even if their appearance changes. This was also the main reason why Yue Wugou abandoned her children when she recovered her memories, she feared that her aura would be recognized by those from the Moon God Realm.
The same went for Jasmine in the novel. After she regained her body and used her strength, her aura leaked, and Moonflower, who was nearby, immediately sensed it.
"What should we do?" Luo Guxie glanced at his frowning face and asked. Yun Wuji had emphasized extreme secrecy in their plan because he wanted to blitz all the King Realms before they could react or mount any resistance. To achieve this, absolutely no information could be leaked.
Right now, not only was Yun Wuji with Luo Guxie and Mu Xuanyin, but he was also with Jasmine, a Star God! If anyone saw the three women together, it would undoubtedly raise some questions, even if only out of curiosity.
This would certainly attract the attention of the King Realms, or at least two of them, the Star God Realm, to which Jasmine belonged, and the Moon God Realm, their enemies.
"...Is there still time to hide?" Yun Wuji glanced at Mu Xuanyin and Luo Guxie as he asked.
"No, they already detected us," Luo Guxie shook her head lightly.
"Should we kill them?" Jasmine asked.
"How unlucky... The Eastern Divine Region is so huge, but we still run into trouble," Yun Wuji's expression sank, then quickly turned cold. He let go of Jasmine and narrowed his eyes. "Killing them will only attract more attention. Let's capture them instead!"
"Alright!" Luo Guxie replied calmly.
Soon, a greenish black hawk that was one hundred and fifty to two hundred kilometers long appeared in their vision.
Its speed was terrifyingly fast, this was the Primal Chaos Hawk. The Glazed Light Realm had captured and tamed this beast from the God Realm of Absolute Beginning, turning it into their mount.
In just a few short moments, the hawk reached them, stopping a few hundred kilometers away. On its back stood four figures, a middle-aged man with a powerful build and an overwhelmingly strong aura.
Next to him stood a woman clad in blue robes, appearing to be in her thirties. Her features were beautiful, with captivating peach-blossom eyes. She possessed a mature figure that radiated womanly charm.
Beside the woman were two beautiful girls. The younger one appeared to be about 10 years old. She was dressed in a long, black half-sleeve skirt that spread out elegantly. Her black hair fluttered in the wind, hanging down past her waist and reaching as far as her ankles. A black butterfly-shaped sash was firmly tied around her slender, delicate waist, and even the jade-like shoes she wore reflected a dim light, much like that of black crystals.
The other girl seemed to be less than twenty years old. She was clad in a light blue long skirt, and her face was extremely beautiful, though there was a touch of chilliness to it.
The four of them were all staring at Yun Wuji's group, especially the younger girl. Her twinkling dark eyes were fixed on Yun Wuji, watching him closely.
