The evil female is delicate and weak, and the four beastly husbands take turns feeding her.

Chapter 196 Gu Feng's Proposal
Ye Xi'an casually replied while drinking her porridge, "That's great. She's a very kind neighbor. She's been with us on this mission the whole time. She's like a sister who's been through thick and thin with us."

Ji Jiangci was taken aback: "Why are they good sisters and not good siblings?"

"Don't you think he's shy and timid, like a cute little sister?"

Ji Jiangci's lips twitched. Cute little sister, Gu Feng?
Could it be that Ye Xi'an has some misunderstanding about Gu Feng?

Ji Jiangci coughed and said, "Your little sister is waiting at the door right now. Should we let her in?"

"Huh? You're not just going to let him stand at the door, are you?!" Ye Xi'an exclaimed in surprise. It would be too unethical to leave a guest you were on good terms with standing at the door.

She threw off the covers and went downstairs.

Gu Feng had been guarding the door all night when it was suddenly opened, revealing a beautiful female inside. Her exquisite appearance startled him so much that he stumbled and took an exaggerated step back.

"I," Gu Feng pursed his lips, nervously clutching the ring in his hand, unable to utter the words he had rehearsed dozens of times that night.

"Come inside first," Ye Xi'an said, welcoming Gu Feng into the house and instructing Ji Jiangci and the others to entertain Gu Feng.

On the sofa, Ye Xi'an's family and Gu Feng each occupied a corner.

He looked somewhat nervous, and his fingers unconsciously curled up.

"Sian, I...I have something I want to tell you."

His voice was very soft, as if he was afraid of disturbing her.

"Just say it."

Gu Feng took a deep breath, as if he had made a great decision, and knelt down on one knee.

This action instantly sobered Ye Xi'an up considerably.

He took out a small velvet box from his pocket, opened it, and inside lay a simple, antique-looking ring. The material was unknown, but it exuded a strange energy fluctuation.

"Xi'an, I know now may not be the best time, but I'm afraid if I don't speak up now, I'll never have another chance."

Gu Feng's eyes were fervent and sincere, carrying a hint of humble pleading.

"I...I want to ask you, please let me join your family!"

Ye Xi'an was completely stunned, his purple eyes filled with astonishment.

Is Gu Feng proposing to her?

The air in the room seemed to freeze.

Bo Jing and Lin Zhijing had expressions that suggested they had expected this, while Ji Jiangci looked both unwilling and helpless.

Yi Yang reacted the most; her body, which hadn't fully recovered, jumped up from the sofa like a rocket, and the anti-wrinkle face mask on her face splattered onto the floor.

"You dog! You're trying to steal my wife!" Yi Yang pounced on Ye Xi'an, begging sweetly, "Wife! Don't say yes to him, I don't want him to join us~"

Gu Feng looked at Yi Yang in Ye Xi'an's arms. He didn't expect that the first person to stop him would be Yi Yang, even though Yi Yang hadn't reacted strongly to his approach before.

He looked to Ji Jiangci for help. Ji Jiangci received Gu Feng's look and resignedly stepped forward, tugging at the back of Yi Yang's neck: "Come back to the room with me."

Yi Yang swung his arm back and shook off Ji Jiangci's hand.

Ji Jiangci was taken aback and said uncertainly, "Your superpower has been upgraded?" Otherwise, how could you be so strong?

Only then did Yi Yang realize the strangeness of his superpower. He closed his eyes to sense it, then suddenly opened them and with a bang, transformed into a giant Labrador Retriever, jumping into Ye Xi'an's arms. The dog spoke in a human voice: "Wife! My superpower is now level three!"

As he spoke, the dog kept rolling around in Ye Xi'an's arms, causing her head to tilt back and her mouth to be filled with dog hair. She tried to grab Yi Yang by the back of the neck, but he was too active and she couldn't catch him at all.

Bo Jing and Lin Zhijing couldn't stand it anymore, so they stepped forward, pulled Yi Yang away, and dragged him back to his room.

Ji Jiangci watched as Yi Yang was pulled into the house. He turned back and forced a smile at Gu Feng and Ye Xi'an: "You two can chat slowly. Gu Feng, protect my wife." After Ye Xi'an's four husbands returned to their rooms, the living room fell into an eerie silence once again.

After a long while, Ye Xi'an finally found his voice, which sounded somewhat unnatural and dry.

"Gu Feng, I..."

Looking into his expectant yet apprehensive eyes, she found it difficult to utter the words of refusal.

But right now, she really doesn't have the mind to think about these things.

Moreover, her feelings for Gu Feng were more of a friendship based on trust and connection; it didn't seem to have progressed to that point yet.

"I'm sorry, Gu Feng."

She lowered her eyes, her voice soft yet exceptionally clear.

"I have no intention of taking another husband."

The light in Gu Feng's eyes dimmed at a visible speed, and his black and red horns seemed to lose their original luster.

He silently put the ring away, not having the courage to ask Ye Xi'an why. He stood up, forcing a smile, but it looked worse than crying.

"It's alright, it was my presumption."

Seeing his dejected look, Ye Xi'an felt a pang of sadness in her heart.

Inside the room, Yi Yang struggled fiercely.

"No, Brother Ji! That Gu Feng is trying to seduce my wife! Why are you pulling me aside?! Go out and stop him!"

Ji Jiangci slapped Yi Yang on the back of the head: "Didn't you support Gu Feng joining the family before? He even idolized you."

Yi Yang was taken aback. Right, why wasn't he so resistant to Gu Feng joining before? He thought about it for a long time but couldn't figure out the reason.

Forget it, if I can't figure it out, I won't think about it anymore. Anyway, he just won't agree!

"If he joins us, he's so handsome and his superpower level is so high, his wife will definitely like him more."

"My wife will start to dislike us then. She won't sleep with me, won't talk to me, and will only eat the food Gu Feng cooks."

Lin Zhijing crossed his arms, interrupting Yi Yang's daydreams about the future: "The Zerg have been unstable lately. What if they invade again? Can the few of us protect Xi'an?"

If it weren't for this reason, he would never have allowed Gu Feng to get close to Ye Xi'an.

Yi Yang immediately became quiet. He didn't have the ability to fully protect Ye Xi'an, but his disappointment only lasted a few seconds. He perked up again and said defiantly, "Even if Gu Feng doesn't join the family, he will definitely protect his wife. I can tell at a glance that he likes his wife too!"

Bo Jing's lips twitched unnaturally as he twisted Yi Yang's ear: "Yi Yang, I never thought that getting infected with a virus would cure your naive and innocent nature, and even evolve you into a seemingly innocent but actually cunning person. How could you be so despicable?"

Yi Yang covered her ear, which had been pinched red by Bo Jing, and said aggrievedly, "I was just saying."

Ji Jiangci checked the time, estimating that the conversation outside should be almost over, so he pushed open the door and went out.

However, he sensed an eerie atmosphere in the living room and raised an eyebrow slightly.

"what happened?"

Gu Feng shook his head, said nothing, and silently stepped aside.

Ye Xi'an didn't know what to say.

Even without mentioning Ji Jiangci, Ye Xi'an could roughly guess that Gu Feng's marriage proposal had failed.

A smile crept across his lips, which he quickly masked. He pulled Gu Feng outside, a calculating glint in his eyes. "Don't be too disappointed. I believe you've always been good to Xi'an, and she'll definitely feel your sincerity."
