Chapter 470: Multiple Wives and Concubines

One man, three women, living and eating together. What story does this remind you of?

Let me rephrase that.

One living person, three fairies, traveling together. What story does this make you think of?

The first one could be "Dream of the Red Chamber," while the second one must be "Journey to the West."

Maybe this Tang Monk has an unbeatable power of love or he needs to upgrade his ring for himself, Jill.

In any case, it’s not a normal journey to the west.

It’s not entirely wrong to call it a journey to the west. The location of the demon clan’s palace is indeed on the west side. However, considering the curvature of the Earth, going west all the way will ultimately bring you back to the east.

The next destination is Leopard Eye City, Yanwei, Longyao, Leopard Eye… Look at how uncultured these names are! They should be called Swallow’s Nest, Dragon’s Liver, Lion’s Head instead. At least they would make people hungry and we could make some delicious local dishes to earn money from the smartness tax of passersby.

Leopard Eye City is the necessary route to enter the Ba Xia territory. From here on, it’s all land travel. There are hardly any water routes available. We can’t walk the whole way, so we need transportation. We can’t let our living standards drop. Therefore, a carriage is the minimum requirement.

Bai Wei looked at the luxurious four-wheeled carriage and the bumpy road that could shake his buttocks into nine pieces. He started to miss his homeland’s well-connected transportation network. High-speed trains and highways are great things. Even those stranded in the middle of nowhere know that building roads comes first.

The road is difficult to travel, but we have to walk it. We can’t hurry, so we need to walk steadily.

Helping Bi Fang restore his country is destined to be a long-term process, and although Bai Wei has patience, he doesn’t plan to delay it for too long.

The Demon Clan’s Royal Court, the Demon Clan’s Prince, various vassals… The complex situation can give anyone a headache. In short, it’s too long to read.

To summarize the upcoming process briefly, we will walk, eat, encounter enemies, fight monsters, level up, walk again, and then repeat in a different location.

"To become famous in the martial world is actually not difficult."

"Next, there are still many places on the way to Xiangyang City, the core of Lord Ba Xia’s territory."

"On this journey, there will definitely be lots of tricky people and bounty hunters waiting, as well as different killer groups and secret agents … They can’t wait to set up traps for us."

"You just need to keep going and your reputation will grow. When it’s big enough, Ba Xia will appear."

"You can think of it as a progress bar. When the opponent’s anger is full, it will be time to act."

"As for the escort team behind us, they are just distractions and decoys. I have set up five of them."

Nalan Qingshu said, "For us, the biggest goal is to finish this difficult journey. According to the map, the path can change a lot. I suggest being flexible."

"I thought you were suggesting to slide through?" Bai Wei rolled his eyes.

He acted as both a horseman and a bodyguard. It’s not that he wasn’t used to it, but wearing a heavy role of being a tool made him feel uncomfortable, especially with an extra little Bi Fang.

"Oh… the future is uncertain." Bai Wei sighed.

"Don’t say such things in front of me."

"I said it on purpose for you to hear. You can go find another team to be a bodyguard, why don’t you?"

"Because it’s not easy to separate, and your forward speed must be the fastest." Nalan Qingshu replied sternly.

"With you here, I will definitely be slowed down."

"Such straightforward words are too hurtful and impolite, I will cry, you know."

"Well, then cry. Looking at your tiny appearance, I’m sure you can cry for a long time with a little humiliation."

Nalan Qingshu emphasized with a strained expression, as she was once again rejected.

"After all, I am a woman who has learned many great techniques from the school of strategists. I am also from the Bi Fang clan. In terms of actual combat strength, I am not weaker than Princess Chao Lu, and even slightly better. I am confident that I possess beauty, wisdom, and strength, so please, Young Master Bai, don’t see me as a burden."

"So what?"

"I hope Young Master Bai will treat me with respect, at least not worse than this strict lady."

The little girl snake lifted her head and said, "Ah?"

Bai Wei narrowed his eyes and said, "You’re not as good as her."

"In what way am I not as good as her?" Nalan Qingshu held a green feather fan in her hand.

"You’re not as easy to take care of as she is," Bai Wei added.

The young girl Bi Fang’s face softened slightly. She knew she was an endangered species, while Nalan Qingshu was just an ordinary protected animal, and there was a huge difference between them.

Nalan Qingshu felt a competitive spirit rise within her and asked, "What if I’m easier to take care of than her?"

Bai Wei responded, "Then next time, you can eat what she doesn’t finish."

The young girl blushed and puffed up her chubby cheeks, saying, "She never has any leftovers from meals!"

Bai Wei calmly said, "I can go without eating. You should learn from me and absorb the energy of the heavens and earth."

Bi Fang shouted loudly, "You’re just daydreaming!"

Chao Lu tried to diffuse the situation and said, with a mix of laughter and tears, "Isn’t it unnecessary to suddenly argue about how much to eat?"

"I…" Nalan Qingshu tapped her head with a fan and said, "Something is indeed not right… The topic seems to have veered off. After all this discussion, why has it turned into a debate about my portion sizes? I’m still growing, so it’s important for me to eat enough."

I never expected you to compare yourself to a freeloader and judge who’s higher or lower," Bai Wei added. "Is giving you a meal enough?

The little snake girl raised her tail and said, "I can do it!"

Bi Fang’s young daughter leaned against the soft cushion of the carriage and said, "Whatever, I don’t have the energy to argue anymore."

Inside the carriage, it finally became quiet. Bai Wei continued driving, not knowing when he had acquired the skill of driving without a teacher. Perhaps it was because of his aura, the horse dared not disobey his will. It obediently went wherever he pointed, behaving more like an ox than a horse.

It had been over a day since they left Longyao City. They had traveled all night without stopping and made good progress. They hadn’t encountered any trouble on the road, at least not yet.

The outline of Panther Eye City appeared in their line of sight. It was closer to Bi Fang’s former capital city. However, after Bi Fang’s demise, the land had become scorched, with desertification causing soil erosion and the air carrying a hint of yellow sand. The road was covered in unburied corpses, both human, demon, and animal. Vultures hovered in the air, and hardly any dead trees could be found around, giving the scene a desolate and barren appearance.

The never-ending Small Dragon River becomes calm when it reaches this place. It flows gently into the western plains, but the river becomes narrower. It starts to branch out and merges into a more complex landscape, which is no longer suitable for sailing.

"We’re about to enter the city," said Bai Wei.

Chao Lu nodded and gently touched her face, changing her appearance.

Nalan Qingshu took out a piece of wooden comb and quickly combed her hair three times. Her dark blue hair turned into a light gray color.

"It’s just an illusion, it will return to normal."

"Oh… so it’s not a change of color."

"？？"

Yan Yubing saw how cool everyone looked with their hair down, so she thought carefully and let her hair loose. Then, she styled it into a braided bun. "How does it look?"

"It’s fine, it would look even better with black-framed glasses."

Bai Wei said something casually and then proceeded to go through the city security check.

Entering Leopard Eye City from Liu State means entering Lord Ba Xia’s territory. It requires a formal identification. Ordinary migrants are not allowed in. Currently, the various feudal lords are unwilling to take in migrants, but rather let them fend for themselves.

Bai Wei handed over a merchant card and then noticed the soldier’s subtle expression.

"What are you looking at?" he couldn’t help but ask. He used illusion magic to disguise his face on the puppet’s face and added various suggestions to let the other party release the person. Unless there is a certain resistance to mental magic, they should have let go by now.

The city guard asked, "What’s your relationship with each other?"

"Isn’t it written on it?" Bai Wei said.

"So I need to confirm it separately," the soldier intentionally pressed for an answer.

"It’s… uh, my… family members, all three of them," Bai Wei scratched his head.

The soldier cast a look of disdain and envy, "You’re really something… go ahead then."

Bai Wei didn’t understand, so after the carriage entered the city, he opened the file and his eye twitched, "Two wives and a mistress? How did you prepare these documents?"

No wonder the soldier’s expression was off. How dare he think of himself as someone special! I, Bai, have followed the rules for so many years, not even looking at underage girls, let alone young girls.

"I don’t mind these trivial matters," Nalan Qingshu calmly corrected, "In fact, it’s better not to arouse suspicion."

"Is everyone from the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom like this?"

"This is Liu State," Nalan Qingshu sighed softly, "It’s very common to marry a daughter off to a man much older than herself in order to save her life. It’s better than letting her become a slave, haven’t you noticed that the other soldiers don’t find it strange?"

Even though Bai Wei was a puppet, he couldn’t help but show a bit of anger, "Being reasonable doesn’t mean it’s fair."

Nalan said seriously, "We are here precisely to put an end to these unfair things. We endure if we can, but our identities are all fake."

Bai Wei remained silent.

Chao Lu opened the booklet and skimmed through it, "I understand the logic, but…"

She asked softly, "Why is Princess Nalan the official wife? Isn’t that the most unreasonable thing?"

Nalan Qingshu opened her fan and covered half of her face, maintaining a subtle sense of dignity in an unnatural manner, saying, "I, this young lady, have no reason to be someone’s concubine."
