#781 - Kill the messenger tomorrow!

Back at Sovereign Mountain, he found that, apart from Su Xiaoxiao who was leading the sect's junior disciples in actual combat training in the secret realm, all the other women were gathered in the small courtyard, having ended their seclusion.

"My Jun-gege～"

Chan'er, who had been listlessly resting her chin on her hands, saw Jun Wuxie and her beautiful eyes sparkled like stars. She leaped up and threw herself into his arms, pouting her bright red lips and saying with a grievance, "Why are you only back now? A few days ago, some bad guys wanted to kidnap Sister Qingcheng!"

"Gege was delayed by some matters."

Jun Wuxie kissed her smooth, jade-like forehead, and gently pinched her delicate nose, saying, "Look at my Chan'er's aggrieved little face. Who made Chan'er upset? I won't spare them!"

"Hmph, it's clearly you～"

Chan'er huffed, her delicate and beautiful cheeks puffed out.

She seemed to have returned to her former lively and innocent self, somewhat different from the few days when her true soul was merging.

Jun Wuxie smiled. Perhaps she subconsciously preferred herself this way, able to be innocent and carefree like a child.

"Young Master～"

Lingfei stepped forward, her eyes gentle.

"Husband～"

Yan Qingcheng followed, her purple bewitching eyes carrying a hint of self-blame, feeling that she had caused trouble for Jun Wuxie and the dynasty. This time, it wasn't someone from the Lower Realm, but a messenger from the Upper Realm.

"Husband."

"Wuxie."

Mu Xuelan and Mu Yunxi came forward together, both gazing at him with gentle and affectionate eyes.

It had been a long time since they had seen him, especially for Mu Yunxi, who had been in seclusion. It felt like three autumns had passed, and her heart was filled with longing.

Her man had changed greatly from before. Amidst his steadiness and depth seemed to be hidden an unparalleled sharpness, causing her to involuntarily be fascinated and want to submit.

This feeling was strange, but it was the most genuine feeling in her heart.

She believed that her sisters felt the same, their minds in a similar state as hers.

"Young Master."

"Wuxie."

Su Lan and Qin Keqing also came before him.

The ladies surrounded him, while Yan Ruyu stood alone before the stone table, gazing at them with a rather awkward expression.

At this moment, she felt so out of place, like an oddity, unable to integrate into their lives, feeling isolated.

Just then, the door to Jun Wuxie's room creaked open.

"Papa～"

A childish, milky voice entered their ears.

Jun Wuxie suddenly turned his head and saw Lilia walking out with their daughter in her arms, looking at him with gentle eyes, her longing very, very intense.

"Xian'er!"

Jun Wuxie released Chan'er and quickly walked forward, reaching out to hug his daughter who was wobbling towards him.

"Papa～ Xian'er missed Papa so much. Papa, please don't leave Xian'er, okay～"

The little girl's big, sparkling eyes were filled with tears as she looked at him timidly, her small arms hugging him tightly, afraid that if she let go, Papa would leave her again.

Jun Wuxie's heart trembled fiercely, feeling an uncontrollable pang of heartache.

Ever since he brought them back, he had spent too little time with his daughter, leading her to lack a sense of security and rarely enjoy paternal love.

"Xian'er is Papa's precious treasure. How could Papa not want you? Don't think nonsense. Papa has too many things to do, and the time I spend with Xian'er is too little. It's Papa's fault. Can Xian'er forgive Papa?"

"Xian'er doesn't blame Papa～"

The little girl hugged his neck, rubbing her little face against his, being extremely affectionate.

Jun Wuxie felt his daughter's attachment to him, gently patting her back, and said, "Xian'er be good. What Papa is doing now is so that I can always be with Xian'er in the future, so Xian'er shouldn't think nonsense."

"Mmm, Xian'er understands～"

The little girl's eyes were blurred with tears, but she smiled happily.

The women watched the deep affection between father and daughter, feeling this warmth, and couldn't help but reveal knowing smiles.

Mu Xuelan gently stroked her lower abdomen, where there was also a small life, a small life belonging to her and Jun Wuxie.

However, she had sealed it long ago, temporarily stopping the child's growth, feeling that now was not a good time to give birth.

Seeing Jun Wuxie love Xian'er so much, she was very envious, and couldn't help but imagine the adoring expression on his face when he held their child in the future.

But she knew that now was even less the time to let the child be born.

This man had too many worries. He was especially soft-hearted towards children, and with the apocalypse about to arrive, he had too many things to do and couldn't add to his burdens.

Mu Xuelan had always been an intellectual and calm woman, otherwise, how could she govern a sect?

However, facing this man, she always found it difficult to maintain rationality and calmness.

Back then, it was this man who broke down all her defenses, capturing her heart that had been as still as an ancient well for decades, making her, who had been pure and desireless, crave worldly love.

From that moment on, she knew she had fallen, deeply fallen into his world, unable to escape for the rest of her life.

She didn't regret it. This fall made her unable to extricate herself, made her feel incomparable happiness, and life was no longer as dull and tasteless as before.

"Husband, sisters, come and sit down, don't stand."

Lilia called out, brewing tea on the large round table in front of her.

Jun Wuxie carried Xian'er forward and sat down next to Lilia, and the women followed suit and sat around the table.

"You've all come out of seclusion. Are you discussing how to deal with tomorrow's matter?"

Lingfei nodded, but Yan Qingcheng lowered her peerless face slightly, and Mu Xuelan, Mu Yunxi, Qin Keqing, and Su Lan all had somewhat solemn expressions.

"Tell me, what is the result of your discussion?"

"There is no result yet."

Yan Qingcheng said in a low voice.

"Lingfei, when I'm not here, you are the backbone of this place. Is this matter also difficult for you to decide?"

"Young Master, although we haven't come up with a result, we will never let them take Qingcheng away. It's just that we haven't thought of a way to have both, and this matter is of great importance. We are all waiting for you to come back, hoping that you can make the decision."

Jun Wuxie didn't speak upon hearing this. He remained silent, just like that, keeping silent, his gaze sweeping over each of them, causing them to not dare to meet his eyes, their hearts all becoming uneasy.

"Young Master, are you angry?"

Lingfei asked cautiously.

Jun Wuxie didn't respond, but instead stared at Yan Qingcheng and said, "Qingcheng, tell me, since the people from the Meitong Clan came to Sovereign Mountain that day, what thoughts have you had in your heart?"

"I…"

Yan Qingcheng's delicate body trembled slightly, her red lips trembled, wanting to speak but hesitating.

Lingfei took over the conversation, saying, "Young Master, Qingcheng, she…"

Just then, Jun Wuxie slapped the stone table.

With a "pa" sound!

The entire stone table shattered into pieces, the tea set on it fell, and tea spilled all over the ground.

The women were startled, their delicate bodies trembling, and they fell silent.

"Lingfei, you like to speak for her, don't you?"

Jun Wuxie's expression was still very calm, and no anger could be seen, but at this moment, everyone could feel that his anger was burning fiercely.

Even Chan'er was frightened.

Xian'er huddled tightly in his arms, blinking her eyes, looking puzzled.

She didn't know why Papa was angry, but she knew that Papa wasn't angry at her, it seemed like the aunties had made Papa angry.

"Young Master…"

Lingfei lowered her head, her face somewhat pale, her heart in a state of panic.

Having followed Jun Wuxie for so many years, from being his maid to becoming his woman, he had never been so angry at them, this was the first time.

"You tell me, is my Immortal Execution Dynasty inferior to a messenger from the Upper Realm!"

The women lowered their heads and didn't dare to answer, their hearts already overwhelmed by his aura, at a loss of what to do.

"Lingfei, with your strength, are you still afraid of a messenger from the Upper Realm?"

"I…" Lingfei raised her head to look at him, and said in a low voice, "I am naturally not afraid…"

"If that's the case, what have you all been discussing for six whole days?" Jun Wuxie took a deep breath and said coldly, "My Immortal Execution Dynasty, the three great Divine Beast clans, hundreds and thousands of Extreme Celestial Realm experts, even if the Xuanyuan Clan doesn't participate, are we still inferior to a messenger from the Upper Realm?"

"You've been discussing for six days without a result, is it because Yan Qingcheng is struggling internally, wanting to be brave, and sacrifice herself in exchange for so-called peace?" He said here, looking at Yan Qingcheng, and said, "Yan Qingcheng, is that true or not?"

"Husband…" Yan Qingcheng looked at him stubbornly, and said, "I did have such thoughts, because I was afraid that you would form a deadly feud with the forces of the Upper Realm, and your path would become even more difficult. I don't want to be a burden to you! But, I also thought that you wouldn't accept this result, so I wanted to discuss a win-win situation with the sisters…"

Jun Wuxie handed his daughter in his arms to Lilia, took a step forward, grabbed Yan Qingcheng's chin, stared at her purple eyes, and said, "Since you know that I can't accept this result, how dare you have such thoughts?!"

"My Immortal Execution Dynasty, I, Jun Wuxie, fear no one! That messenger from the Upper Realm, this kind of behavior is trampling on our bottom line, and you are still here thinking about a win-win situation! I, Jun Wuxie, can die, but I can't live in humiliation! The concubine of the Jun God of the dignified Immortal Execution Dynasty, a word from a messenger from the Upper Realm, and you don't know what to do, isn't that shameful?"

"What is there to discuss here, what a load of crap! It's simply outrageous!" Jun Wuxie released Yan Qingcheng, stood up, and said in a deep voice, "During the dynasty celebration, I publicly killed hundreds of Extreme Celestial Realm experts, including many Supreme Dominators from the starry sky, haven't I taught you what it means to be strong and what it means to be fearless? If I, Jun Wuxie, was afraid of death, I should have lowered my head and knelt before others, calling myself a subject!"

“There is no room for discussion when it comes to matters that cross my bottom line! In the future, if such things happen again, never allow hesitation for fear of creating powerful enemies for me. Do you understand?”

“Do you understand? Answer me!”

He shouted in a deep voice, and the women shuddered and hurriedly responded.

Jun Wuxie waved his sleeve, and the shattered stone table instantly turned into dust. Then, he grabbed a nearby stone table and said, “Kill the envoy tomorrow!”

His words were firm and powerful, his killing intent soaring!

“I want to see how amazing the envoy from the Upper Realm is, daring to come to my Immortal Execution Dynasty to act wildly. We will kill them all, no matter how many come, until they dare not descend again!”

“Husband, don't be angry anymore. Haven't I already admitted my mistake?”

Yan Qingcheng came to his side, hugged his arm, and acted coquettishly, her charming voice making people's bones soften, appearing very ingratiating.

“You always admit your mistakes quickly, but you're always the one who makes me angry! When will you stop acting strong?”

“If I didn't love you so much, would I need to act strong?”

“You still have the nerve to argue?” Jun Wuxie said, amused, “I think you want to be thrown into the Cold Palace to reflect on your actions!”

“Ah? There's a Cold Palace?”

Yan Qingcheng blinked her eyes and looked at him.

“Yes, in the future, anyone who acts recklessly will be thrown into the Cold Palace. They will not receive my favor for three years, and after three years, we will see how they behave!”

“Then you might as well just let us die now!”

The women were surprisingly united, speaking in unison, their faces full of resentment.

Jun Wuxie looked at their expressions and couldn't hold back any longer, saying, “I do have plans to establish a Cold Palace, but whether or not it will be implemented in the end depends on your behavior.”

“We listen to everything you say. Just now, you were lecturing us like we were your daughters. We listened and endured it, not daring to argue. And you still want to establish a Cold Palace? You only know how to bully us! Tell me, did you fool around with Chen Yu in the Golden Scale Secret Realm and forget your old love for a new one?”

Seeing that his anger had obviously subsided, the women immediately became active again, launching a joint attack, making Yue Chenyu's face turn red beside them.

“Nonsense, am I that kind of person?”

Jun Wuxie secretly wiped away his sweat. He was just lecturing them a moment ago, how did it turn into being targeted by them all?

The women gave him a charming roll of their eyes, the meaning in their eyes very clear: Yes, you are!

This made Jun Wuxie feel very hurt. He was actually not trusted?
