My brother is so cunning

Chapter 960 I want it all
Despite being so popular with two top-tier fairies who were vying to marry him, Wen Rui was not arrogant; on the contrary, he understood their thoughts.

Wen Rui didn't believe that the two fairies had fallen in love with him at first sight, or how much they loved him.

Indeed, Wen Ruisheng possesses a handsome appearance, and his family background, strength, power, and wealth are undoubtedly the best among the outstanding young male immortals in the Three Realms. He certainly has the qualities to be admired by many female immortals.

But these two are not naive young girls; they have lived for thousands of years. Most importantly, they have worked together for several years, and if they weren't blind, they would probably have seen through seven or eight parts of Wen Rui's true nature.

Wen Ruike never hid her wicked nature from them, and never pretended to be a good person.

Back then, the two of them couldn't bring themselves to torture the five hundred Arhats, and Wen Rui almost had them both hung up and beaten together. But he never spoiled them just because they were beautiful fairies.

Nevertheless, given the choice between marrying Wen Rui and staying by the Queen Mother's side, they would still choose the former without hesitation.

Wen Rui has a terrible personality, but he doesn't have many deadly rules. Being around him is a hundred or a thousand times more comfortable than being around the Queen Mother of the West.

The time they spent working under Wen Rui was the freest and most wonderful period of their lives. As long as they completed the tasks assigned by Wen Rui, they could do whatever they wanted with the rest of their time, and Wen Rui wouldn't care.

Or perhaps Wen Rui simply didn't have the time or inclination to deal with them; he was already incredibly busy and didn't want to distract himself.

The Jie Sect upholds the tradition of friendship and equality among its members. The Tongtian Sect Leader doesn't discipline his disciples much, and it's common for them to slack off, let loose, and cause trouble.

Compared to this freedom, sweet love and shameless married life become unimportant.

Immortals have such long lifespans that even the most passionate love between men and women cannot withstand the test of time. Countless divine couples with the deepest affection eventually return to a state of tranquility and indifference.

Staying in the Jade Pool Palace, especially serving a feudal supreme empress like the Queen Mother of the West, meant that one could not make a single wrong step each day, and had to constantly remember to observe etiquette and follow the Dao. Every day was so oppressive that it was hard to breathe.

Marrying Wen Rui, a workaholic, means that seeing him once or twice a year is considered lucky. But as long as she doesn't cause any trouble by cheating on him, she's essentially free and carefree forever.

Wen Rui's Creation Palace is full of novelties, and the cities of the Demon Alliance he established are even more wonderful places to visit.

Holding the title of Celestial Venerable's Daoist Partner, they don't need to register to enter or leave the Heavenly Gate, and they don't need to pay for anything in the cities under the Demon Alliance's jurisdiction.

Putting marriage aside, is there any goddess or fairy who is more carefree than this?
Even the Queen Mother of the West doesn't receive such treatment. She has to abide by the rules she sets for herself, keeping a tight rein on herself every day and daring not to indulge in any dissipation.

The two fairies had been suppressed in the Jade Pool for so many years. If they had never experienced a free and unrestrained lifestyle, perhaps they wouldn't have been so proactive.

However, having spent some time with Wen Rui, they felt a sense of injustice without comparison, and their once dormant hearts began to stir again, becoming uncontrollable. To the point that they now disregard sisterly affection and are vying for this extremely precious, prestigious, and leisurely position, the top in the Three Realms.

Seeing their eyes practically popping out of their sockets, Wen Rui frowned and said, "Your Majesty, I have an idea, but I don't know if I should say it?"

Although the two fairies tried to conceal it, they could not escape the Queen Mother's discerning eyes. She could tell at a glance that they were both giving Wen Rui unreserved glances, their competitive nature obvious.

Seeing Wen Rui looking conflicted, the Queen Mother immediately guessed that Wen Rui and the two women had probably been having an affair for a long time and were reluctant to give up either of them.

It wasn't hard to guess. Wen Rui had sent them to assist in an investigation, and they joined the so-called "Heavenly River Guard" for a long time. After the two women returned to Yaochi after completing their mission, they were listless and lacked motivation, clearly very disappointed. Little did the Queen Mother know that the two women had chosen the lesser of two evils; whether or not they married Wen Rui was unimportant, leaving Yaochi, this treacherous place, was of paramount importance.

I thought they were both deeply in love with Wen Rui, and that Wen Rui was a womanizing scumbag who would accept any woman who came his way, wanting to enjoy the bliss of having two women at once.

"Little Celestial Venerable Wen, your plan isn't to marry both fairies, is it?"

The Queen Mother frowned.

As the chief deity in charge of marriage and childbirth, the Queen Mother of the West was not too opposed to polygamy. However, when she married her two goddaughters to Wen Rui, it made the Heavenly Royal Family seem too eager to curry favor with powerful ministers and lose its dignity.

How could the imperial family possibly marry off two princesses at once?
Even when making peace with a neighboring country through marriage, they wouldn't send a pair of twin beauties as a gift!
If this were done, how would the gods of Heaven discuss the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother?
As rumors spread, the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother appeared inferior to Wen Rui. In order to consolidate their positions, they fawned over powerful officials, abandoning all shame and offering money and beautiful women, showing no dignity whatsoever.

How is this any different from the puppet emperors and empresses of the last dynasty?
"Is that not possible? Then forget it. I won't marry any of them. Otherwise, there will always be a fairy who will be heartbroken for me for all eternity."

Wen Rui said with a sigh, "This reminds me of that old love I left behind in the mortal world. I have already been a heartless person once. How can I be a heartless god again after being conferred a divine title?"

"It's not... impossible..."

The Queen Mother gritted her teeth, barely suppressing the urge to berate Wen Rui, and squeezed out these words through gritted teeth.

Even God has to bow his head when under the eaves.

The current situation is extremely urgent. With Wen Rui's immense power and terrifying strength, all that's missing is for a one-eyed stone man to be unearthed from the Milky Way to start a rebellion.

Rumors are circulating in the Heavenly Court and among the common people that the celestial fox of the Form Realm is speaking in human language, its cry sounding remarkably similar to: "The Azure Heaven is dead, the Intercepting Heaven shall rise..."

The Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother were already somewhat panicked, but they really couldn't think of a way to get rid of Wen Rui. This super treacherous official had already gained the upper hand, and his own strength was beyond doubt. His private army of metal puppets could easily defeat the entire Heavenly Army.

He wanted to ask a sage to kill the treacherous official, but unfortunately, this guy also had a sage as his backer, and that sage was known for protecting his own.

The Queen Mother of the West racked her brains to come up with this method of recruiting a son-in-law to win over the other side. After all, the Jade Pool has plenty of beautiful fairies, more than turtles in the lotus pond.

Wen Rui was a notorious lecher. Since he had a weakness, we should focus on that weakness and find a way to satisfy him so that he wouldn't have any wicked thoughts about the Jade Emperor's throne.

Since the decision to marry off the daughter has already been made, it doesn't matter whether you herd one sheep or two sheep, so there's no difference between marrying off one or two.

The empty title of currying favor with powerful officials is not worth having. After all, when Yang Jian broke into the Lingxiao Palace last time, there were many rumors that the Jade Emperor was so frightened that he hid under the table and cried out in a hoarse voice, "Quickly go and invite the Buddha!"

The truth is that with the Jade Emperor's cultivation and the many magical treasures protecting him, he could defeat Yang Jian in less than ten rounds even in a one-on-one fight. Yang Jian would not dare to act rashly. He only barged into the Lingxiao Palace to question the Jade Emperor face to face about why he was so ruthless towards his own sister.
