Chapter 1750: Wives Meet the Mother-in-Law (2)

“What?” The two Grand Venerables of the Medicine God Hall were startled.

Isn’t Grand Venerable Lian Jing’s son the Young Emperor? Are these people the Young Emperor’s? Who would dare provoke the Young Emperor? The two immediately backed off, but looking at Yue Mingzhu, they were extremely unwilling to give up.

Grand Venerable Lian Jing turned to face everyone and asked with concern, “Is everyone alright?” As her gaze swept over the Master of Jiangshan Yipin Tower, she looked puzzled. When did a Grand Venerable of the Five Decays of Heavenly Beings appear in Taicang Great State? Why had she never heard of them?

The Master of Jiangshan Yipin Tower stared blankly at her for a moment before regaining his composure, then softly said, “For now, there’s no major issue. Thank you, Fellow Daoist Lian Jing, for your intervention.”

Grand Venerable Lian Jing nodded her chin, shifted her gaze from him, and broadly scanned the crowd. She was slightly surprised: “Why are there so many Nascent Soul cultivators?” Those who came to Tianzhou for the Merit Convention were all at the Deity Transformation stage or above. Why would Taicang Great State send so many Nascent Soul cultivators?

The Master of Tianji Pavilion hurriedly said, “Senior Lian Jing, the situation is like this…” After listening, Grand Venerable Lian Jing’s eyes sparkled with various colors, and she then realized that this group of Nascent Soul cultivators were the disciples of Tianji Pavilion, where Jiang Fan resided. She said warmly, “So it’s you! I’m Jiang Fan’s godmother, and I’ve heard about Tianji Pavilion for a long time.”

The Tianji Pavilion disciples were greatly surprised. Jiang Fan had a godmother who was a Grand Venerable? Thus, the two sides quickly began conversing.

Grand Venerable Lian Jing smiled as she observed the Tianji Pavilion disciples, frequently praising them: “Although there aren’t many disciples, they are all above the Nascent Soul stage.” She continued, “The young female disciples are also exceptionally beautiful. Do you have husbands? Would you like me to introduce you to some promising young men from Tianzhou?”

When her gaze swept over Fairy Yunshang and Xia Chaoge, she was immediately struck by their otherworldly beauty. Xu Youran, Yue Mingzhu, Liu Qingxian, Luzhu, and other women also amazed her. Among the young women, every single one was a peerless beauty. Moreover, their temperaments and appearances each had their unique charm, truly breathtaking.

The Master of Jiangshan Yipin Tower coughed dryly and said, “Grand Venerable Lian Jing, you can’t be a matchmaker here. Many of them share the same husband.”

Venerable Lian Jing immediately frowned: “Who is so unfaithful? Any man should be content with just one of these good girls, yet he monopolizes so many? I hate unfaithful men the most in my life!”

Cough, cough! The Master of Jiangshan Yipin Tower choked, quickly interrupted her, and whispered, “They belong to Jiang Fan.”

Grand Venerable Lian Jing paused, then her eyes lit up, and she smiled: “Oh, they’re my son’s! Look how outstanding my son is, so many beautiful women follow him!”

The Master of Jiangshan Yipin Tower was speechless: “Aren’t you going to criticize him for being unfaithful?”

Grand Venerable Lian Jing became displeased and said, “Is that the same thing? My son is so excellent, he deserves so many wives. How can he be compared to those unfaithful scoundrels?”

Then she looked at the women with anticipation: “Who else is there? Quick, let me see.”

Everyone looked at Xu Youran. The latter blushed and obediently stepped forward, saying, “Youran greets… Mother-in-law.” The address “Mother-in-law” made Grand Venerable Lian Jing overjoyed. She quickly took Xu Youran’s hand and examined her: “Good, very good, this daughter-in-law is excellent. Dignified and gentle, virtuous and polite. My son has excellent taste.”

The Master of Jiangshan Yipin Tower introduced, “This is Jiang Fan’s legal wife; they recently got married.” Learning she was the legal wife, Grand Venerable Lian Jing liked her even more. She pulled her to her side and said, “When you got married, your godmother didn’t come. Later, I’ll make up for it with a wedding gift.” She then looked expectantly at everyone: “Who else?”

Fairy Yunshang’s red lips slightly pursed, and she gracefully stepped forward, curtsied, and softly said, “Yunshang greets Mother-in-law.” Seeing that this stunningly beautiful demoness was also Jiang Fan’s wife, Grand Venerable Lian Jing smiled so widely she couldn’t close her mouth, pulling her to her side as well: “Hahaha, my son has quite the fortune with women.”

Fairy Yunshang’s pretty face flushed slightly, and she pointed to Gong Caiyi, saying, “This one too, and she’s pregnant.”

“What?” Grand Venerable Lian Jing released the two women, quickly walked to Gong Caiyi, held her arm, and carefully examined her. After confirming there was indeed a fetus, she exclaimed with delight, “I’m going to be a grandmother! I’m going to be a grandmother!”

Gong Caiyi said shyly, “Your daughter-in-law Gong Caiyi greets Mother-in-law.” As she was about to bow, Grand Venerable Lian Jing quickly supported her, saying, “No, no, no, that will harm the fetus. Later, I’ll go to the Medicine God Hall and get you a seventh-grade grand pill for fetal stabilization! So that my grandchild will have the constitution of a dragon among men from birth!”

Gong Caiyi was overjoyed and said, “Thank you, Mother-in-law!” With a Grand Venerable as a mother-in-law to care for her, it was hard to imagine how exceptionally talented this child would be in the future. All the women showed expressions of envy. Gong Caiyi, carrying Jiang Fan’s child, was truly like the moon surrounded by stars, receiving immense favor and affection.

Liu Qingxian stepped forward proactively and said with a generous smile, “Mother-in-law, I’m here too. I’ll also have sons for Xiao Fan in the future!”

“And another?” Grand Venerable Lian Jing said delightedly, “What a valiant and dashing girl, this one is good too.”

Liu Qingxian snorted, complaining, “Mother-in-law, your son has many women; you need to keep him in check. Do you see that silver-haired Asura?”

Grand Venerable Lian Jing looked and immediately recognized her. This was the ‘little wife’ Jiang Fan had ‘tricked’ when he first ascended to the Heavenly Realm. She hadn’t expected him to actually bring her down from the Heavenly Realm.

Luzhu stepped forward with an embarrassed expression, obediently saying, “Luzhu greets Mother-in-law.” Grand Venerable Lian Jing immediately burst into cackling laughter. “My son is too capable! He even has one from the heavens!”

Liu Qingxian continued to complain, “The more impressive one is yet to come. Do you know that person?” She pointed to Venerable Zhenyan.

Grand Venerable Lian Jing certainly knew her. She was Grand Venerable Xingyuan’s daughter, who had always threatened to kill Jiang Fan. “Could she also…”

Liu Qingxian nodded: “She’s also faithfully following your son.”

Grand Venerable Lian Jing was stunned. Even someone as proud as Venerable Zhenyan was willingly following Jiang Fan? A blush appeared on Venerable Zhenyan’s cold face, and she said shyly, “Zhenyan greets Mother-in-law.”

Grand Venerable Lian Jing snapped back to reality, filled with affection. Grand Venerable Xingyuan had taken Hunyuan State into eternal oblivion for the sake of the Central Plains, leaving behind only this sole daughter. She pulled Venerable Zhenyan closer, holding her hand and saying: “Don’t worry about following Xiao Fan. If he bullies you, just tell me, and your mother-in-law will support you!”

Venerable Zhenyan was touched, and she murmured, “Thank you, Mother-in-law.”

Grand Venerable Lian Jing looked at the others and said, “Is there anyone else?”

Liu Qingxian walked into the crowd and pulled Yue Mingzhu, who still had blood at the corner of her mouth, over, saying, “Mother-in-law, this is Yue Mingzhu. She has followed Jiang Fan from the continent until now. With Jiang Fan not around, she was bullied. Please, Mother-in-law, be her advocate.”

Grand Venerable Lian Jing only then noticed Yue Mingzhu’s injuries, and her expression immediately darkened. She suppressed her rising anger and said, “Later, your mother-in-law will get justice for you.”

After speaking, her gaze continued to sweep over the women, and when it settled on Xia Chaoge, she asked expectantly: “Is this my daughter-in-law too?”

Xia Chaoge was startled and quickly said with a blush, “No, I’m not. Senior, you’ve misunderstood.” After saying that, her heart thumped continuously.

Grand Venerable Lian Jing was greatly disappointed, secretly thinking, “What a pity. Such a beautiful woman, not to be my daughter-in-law. To be taken by some other pig… just thinking about it is disheartening.”
