Celestial 'War God' Return

As experienced cultivators, Situ Chengyan, Dugu Xinyue, and Murong Xianyin immediately realized the intention behind Tang Xiao’s visit to their clan. He intended to visit Situ Lingxi, but he also intended to seek their support in dealing with the Sun Clan.

After all, they were familiar with the characters of the Sun Clan, and Sun Weitian was their main heir. If they learned that he had died at the hands of the female spider beast, and they also learned the relationship between Tang Xiao and Situ Lingxi, they would think that he had deliberately let their main heir die in that forest.

If that happened, they were certain that the Sun Clan would spread bad news about Tang Xiao, and the people of the clan would do everything they could to eliminate him. After all, he came from another realm, and he had no support in their realm. He would have a challenging time facing those people, especially with his low cultivation.

The easiest way for Tang Xiao to avoid trouble with the Sun Clan was to end his relationship with Situ Lingxi, but they could see that he had no intention of doing that, and he had purposely come to meet them to gain their support.

"Do you really like my daughter, Xiao’er? After all, she previously tried to harm Mu Qingge, right?" Murong Xianyin was the first to ask.

Tang Xiao smiled. "Senior Murong, I am a man of principle, and I wouldn’t have approached Lingxi if I didn’t have any interest in her. As for her previous plan to harm my wife, she hasn’t done anything excessive, so I don’t take it seriously. Besides, Qingge has forgotten about that matter, and they have become close friends now."

"To be honest, I don’t want my daughter to share a husband with another woman, Xiao’er." Situ Lingxi wanted to interrupt Murong Xianyin, but Tang Xiao squeezed her hand and signaled her to let her mother speak first. "Did you know that my husband has three wives?"

Situ Chengyan and Dugu Xinyue chose to remain silent; they knew Murong Xianyin’s feelings about her husband’s polygamous relationship. They actually didn’t want their son, Situ Zengyan, to have such a relationship, but he didn’t listen to them and took two other wives.

Tang Xiao nodded to Murong Xianyin. "Lingxi has already told me everything, and she also told me that her father favors his second wife more."

"That’s right." Murong Xianyin did not refute that. "At first, our marriage was joyful, and my husband was loyal to me in the early days of our marriage. However, things changed after I gave birth to our daughter, and I couldn’t have any more children after that."

"Oh?" Tang Xiao was surprised. "How did it happen?"

"There was an accident when I gave birth to my daughter, and it damaged my womb, so I couldn’t have any more children." Tang Xiao scanned Murong Xianyin’s body and asked Xiao Ai to analyze it. "My husband is an old-fashioned person, and he puts male offspring above female offspring. That’s why he looked for another woman and took her as his second wife, and she bore him a son."

"Then?"

"However, he didn’t stop there, and he took a third wife, who bore him another daughter." Murong Xianyin embraced Dugu Xinyue. "If my mother-in-law hadn’t threatened him, he probably would have taken some other wives. Although he finally stopped, his attitude changed a lot, and he favored his second wife more than us. In fact, he rarely visited me and Sister Hong Ruoyan, and he treated Sister Pan Yuezhi much better than he treated us."

Regarding that matter, Situ Chengyan and Dugu Xinyue felt guilty towards Murong Xianyin, so they wanted to make up for the mistakes their son had made to her by giving her more authority within their Situ Clan. After all, she was more talented and meticulous compared to their son or the other two daughters-in-law, and their eldest daughter was also very supportive of her.

Tang Xiao could understand Murong Xianyin’s worries about Situ Lingxi’s future. After all, no mother wanted her daughter to suffer, let alone she has experienced such a situation herself. "Senior, I understand your worries, but I’m not your husband, and I’m much better than him. In fact, I have several other wives, and she knows about them from Qingge."

"Hmm?" Situ Chengyan, Dugu Xinyue, and Murong Xianyin frowned after Tang Xiao said that.

Situ Lingxi hurriedly spoke to them. "Tang Xiao didn’t lie to you three, and Mu Qingge has already told me the identities of all his wives. Their names are Tang Yin, Xing Xing, Sun Xiang, Mu Yan, and Yi An."

Situ Chengyan, Dugu Xinyue, and Murong Xianyin were surprised after hearing the names of the five women from Situ Lingxi’s mouth.

Dugu Xinyue suddenly realized something. "What is your relationship with Tang Yin? What is the relationship between Mu Qingge and Mu Yan?"

"Tang Yin is my big sister, but the blood relationship between us disappeared after I almost died in the ravine." Situ Chengyan, Dugu Xinyue, and Murong Xianyin couldn’t believe that blood relations could just disappear like that. "When my late master found me in the ravine, he did something to my body to save me, and my relationship with Yin’er changed from then on. However, I can’t explain the details to you because it relates to my deepest secret, and none of my wives know about it."

The three of them were curious about Tang Xiao’s secret, but they realized that everyone had their own secrets, including themselves. "Then, what is the relationship between Mu Qingge and Mu Yan?"

"Mu Yan is Mu Qingge’s sole daughter."

The three people’s jaws dropped open; they didn’t expect that Tang Xiao would take a pair of mother and daughter as his wives, and the two women agreed to share him with each other.

"In fact, Mu Yan was the first to be attracted to me, and Mu Qingge was willing to become my wife because of her request." Tang Xiao changed the image that came out of the device and displayed all of his wives, so the three of them could witness their relationship for themselves. "See? They live together under one roof, and they’re close to each other, so they have a harmonious relationship."

Seeing the closeness of all of Tang Xiao’s wives aroused jealousy in Murong Xianyin’s heart. She and her husband’s two other wives did not have a close relationship like his wives, and they rarely met even though they lived in the same clan.

In fact, Situ Zengyan hardly ever visited Murong Xianyin after Pan Yuezhi gave birth to a son, and he spent more time with his second wife.

As for Situ Zengyan’s third wife, Murong Xianyin struggled to build a close relationship with Hong Ruoyan, since she was too timid and introverted.

Dugu Xinyue, on the other hand, was satisfied with the relationships of all of Tang Xiao’s wives. She knew several men with multiple wives, but none of their wives had such close and harmonious relationships; instead, many of them tried to undermine each other to solidify their status within their families.

At first, Situ Chengyan worried about Situ Lingxi’s future if she got into a relationship with Tang Xiao, who had several wives. However, the relationships between all his wives somewhat changed the old man’s opinion of him, and he thought her granddaughter might be happy with him.

Tang Xiao spoke again. "If the three of you can’t believe their relationship, I’ll bring them to this clan when we attend Chen Hongde and Su Xiulan’s wedding, so you can witness their closeness and harmony firsthand."

"Oh? Are they really going to attend Chen Hongde and Su Xiulan’s wedding?"

Tang Xiao nodded at them. "All of my wives joined the Nine Profound Sect, and they know both of them. Chen Hongde invited us to attend his wedding with Su Xiulan, and we have agreed to attend."

"I see." Murong Xianyin nodded in understanding. "In that case, I hope you’ll be willing to bring all your wives to see me, Xiao’er. Lingxi is my only daughter, and I love her very much, so I don’t want her to suffer the same fate as me. Therefore, I want to meet all your wives first, and I will make a decision about your relationship with my daughter after I meet them."

"I will bring them to this clan after Chen Hongde and Su Xiulan’s wedding, and I’m sure you’ll like them, Senior." Tang Xiao turned to Situ Lingxi. "I’d like to stay here, but I still have some unfinished missions, so I must leave now."

"Where are you going next?"

"The Bone Ridge."

"Huh?" Situ Chengyan and the others were shocked by that. "Did you really take the mission at the Bone Ridge?"

Tang Xiao nodded at them. "My wives should have arrived at Bone Ridge by now, so I have to go there to help them, and I will bring them to this kingdom after we complete all our missions."

"The Bond Ridge is very far from this kingdom, about four to five days’ journey, so how will you catch up with them?" Dugu Xinyue asked.

Tang Xiao sliced ​​​​through the air and opened a path into the void, which shocked everyone, including Situ Lingxi. Their eyes widened as they focused their attention on the hole in front of them. However, they didn’t know about the void element, and they thought he was using the space element.

"Three Seniors, I have to take my leave first, and we can talk again in the future." The three seniors could only agree with that, and Tang Xiao kissed Situ Lingxi’s lips before disappearing into the void.

Situ Lingxi looked at her family. "So, what should we do about the Sun Clan? Sun Weitian will die soon, and they will know about his death right away."
