My wife is a reborn big boss

"...Anyway, I will compile a list of participants for Brother Wu later. I hope that Brother Wu will... well, Brother Wu, just do your own thing when you give the commentary." Ye Qingxuan said helplessly.

"Brother Dao truly understands me. Rest assured, as long as there are no constraints, my explanations will be absolutely brilliant!" Wu Qiong said with a beaming smile.

Abstinence remained aloof, observing from the sidelines.

No, Brother Wu, you're mistaken. The Taoist priest simply knows how unreliable you are.

Wu Qiong raised an eyebrow: "So the competition starts tomorrow?"

"Very well, I will arrange guest rooms for you all right away." Ye Qingxuan smiled and asked, "But I wonder how many rooms Brother Wu would like?"

"One room," Wu Qiong replied.

A strange silence fell over everyone. Li Jianshi lowered her head and remained silent, her face slightly flushed.

Although being with Su Mubai was unpleasant, at least nothing would actually happen, and it was nice to chat with the poor brother.

Su Mubai's ears turned red, and she pursed her thin lips, indicating that she was not as relaxed as she appeared.

She planned to knock Li Jianshi unconscious and then force herself on him.

"Brother Wu, you..." Jiese's expression was complicated.

His newly formed idea suddenly became unclear again.

"What's wrong?" Wu Qiong asked, bewildered. "Isn't it supposed to be one room per person? Is your Taiqing Sect's room supply that tight? Let me make this clear, I'm not sharing a room with the Master!"

"..."

Silence. The atmosphere was even more silent than before.

In the end, it was the kind-hearted Ye Qingxuan who broke the silence.

He chuckled twice and said, "Let me take you to the guest rooms first."

"Hmph!" Li Jianshi snorted coldly and left.

The young woman glanced at Wu Qiong and followed Li Jianshi away.

"Brother Wu, your ability to perfectly balance the conflicts among these beautiful young women is truly extraordinary. I am convinced."

Jiese left with a complicated expression.

Wu Qiong was taken aback; he had actually seen through him.

The reason he was able to be honest with Bai Xuanji about wanting them all was because Bai Xuanji and Su Li were in different positions, but he couldn't figure out what Su Li was thinking.

Building a harem is a skill... After all, we're not the kind of people who think, "It doesn't matter how many women you have, as long as you have me in your heart."

"It seems Brother Wu is also a man with a story..." Ximen Jigan said with a dry laugh.

"Everyone has a past," Wu Qiong shook his head, noticing the Ximen family of three standing still. He asked curiously, "..."

"Brother Ximen, aren't you going back to your room?"

"Oh, we're staying at an inn in Taiqing City at the foot of the mountain," Ximen Ji said with a smile.

Wu Qiongqi asked, "Brother Ximen, why go to such lengths? Wouldn't it be better to live on the mountain?"

"The prices of the rooms in the Taiqing Sect are too high, and I've heard that they've increased several times over during this competition. I really can't afford them," Ximen Ji said with a shake of his head.

"..." Wu Qiong was speechless.

It seems that tourist attractions are all the same rip-offs, no matter which world you're in.

"Alright then, I'll go and rest now." Wu Qiong nodded and turned to leave.

He's not exactly a pushover; Ximen Ji has only met him twice, and they even fought the first time.

He didn't need to pay their room bills, nor would he owe Ye Qingxuan any favors, even though Ye Qingxuan wouldn't care at all.

"Brother Wu is truly dashing," Ximen Ji exclaimed. "Sheng'er, A-Xiu, let's go back too."

His wife, Du Yuesheng, nodded, while Ximen Xiu stared blankly at Wu Qiong's departing figure.

"Ah Xiu?" Ximen Ji called out.

Ximen Xiu snapped out of his daze and smiled, "I understand, Father."

Strangely enough, when they were robbed earlier, it was Jie Se and Ye Qingxuan who came to their rescue, while Wu Qiong was just watching.

She, however, developed feelings for Wu Qiong alone.

Perhaps it was because Wu Qiong possessed an extraordinary temperament and unparalleled beauty.

.........

The moon rises above the willow branches.

After Wu Qiong finished his long phone conversation with Bai Xuanji, through his tireless efforts, Her Majesty the Empress finally agreed to stop eavesdropping on his affairs.

Although he knew it was impossible, he still talked on the phone for hours, and that's how relationships are maintained.

At this point, some people might say, "Why don't you just throw the magical conch shell into the shrine? You can't hear anything there."

Haha, people who say things like that definitely don't have girlfriends.

The camera zooms out.

Wu Qiong, unable to sleep after being teased by Her Majesty the Empress, decided to go out for some fresh air.

They stayed in a small courtyard that Ye Qingxuan had found for them. As soon as Wu Qiong came out, he saw a girl in palace attire sitting on the roof, staring blankly at the moon.

He smiled knowingly. At times like these, one should transform into a caring older brother, perfectly seizing the opportunity to cultivate a relationship.

So he jumped up, sat down next to her, and without saying a word, just watched the moon with her.

Although he didn't know what was so special about the moon, it wasn't a full moon on the fifteenth of the lunar month...

Speaking of the full moon on the fifteenth of the lunar month, he thought of his parents again.

Having lived here for almost twenty years, his parents' faces have become somewhat blurry in his memory. Perhaps his desire to go home has become an obsession; he doesn't want to simply "live."

"Why think so much? I'm not some artsy type." Wu Qiong chuckled self-deprecatingly, then turned and asked, "What's wrong, Shi'er, are you homesick?"

Li Jianshi shook her head, stared at him intently, and after a long while, murmured, "Poor brother, how wonderful it would be if you were just my poor brother..."

"I'm just your poor older brother," Wu Qiong replied.

That's right, Li Jianshi is the only one who calls him "Poor Brother".

"..." Li Jianshi felt so tired: "Do you have any wine?"

Wu Qiong smiled slightly, took out a wine pot from the shrine, and handed it to Li Jianshi: "Ningzhou's specialty, 'Drunken Thousand Years,' is my favorite wine. Try it."

Li Jianshi silently accepted the wine pot.

Of course she knew this was his favorite wine, after all, she often drank it with him in her past life.

But unexpectedly, in this life, it was him who was drinking with him.

She opened the wine jug and took a big gulp.

She clearly had a chance to start over!

Take another sip.

She clearly went to see him beforehand!

One more bite.

It's clearly doing quite well!

One more bite.

But why... why did Su Mubai still appear beside him?

After taking one sip, take three more.

And then, out of nowhere, an Empress of the Great Zhou appeared!

Another gulp... *burp*

Li Jianshi's cheeks flushed, her eyes were glazed, and her past and present lives overlapped at this moment:

"Poor brother..."

"If you can't drink it, then don't drink it." Wu Qiong said with a pained expression.

He was lamenting that his wine was running low again.

"I like you......"

Wu Qiong remained silent for a long time:

"Yes, I know."

Li Jianshi gave a blank smile: "So, do you like me?"

Wu Qiong's eyes reflected the charming image of the girl in palace attire: "I like it, but..."

"But you also like Su Mubai and Bai Xuanji," Li Jianshi interrupted him.

"Yes," Wu Qiong replied.

"Poor brother...why can't you lie to me..." Li Jianshi lowered his head and whispered.

"I may lie a lot, but this is the one thing I don't want to lie to you about." Wu Qiong's eyes were honest: "I know it's shameless, but... I don't want to let go of any of you three."

"I... want them all."

"Sometimes I think about it too..." Li Jianshi turned her head slightly, "I did so much for you, but you didn't see it... I sometimes ask myself if it was all worth it."

Wu Qiong simply looked at her quietly without saying a word.

Li Jianshi turned her head and looked calmly at Wu Qiong: "Brother Qiong, if, I mean if... I were to give up, if I wanted to leave you, what would you do?"

"You think you can just run away after flirting with me? There's no way you can have it that way." Wu Qiong laughed, "I'll tie you up and bring you back, throw you on the bed, and then do all sorts of disgusting things to you."

Li Jianshi's large eyes glistened with tears as she smiled radiantly, "Sometimes I really envy Su Mubai. She has such a master, and her word is law within the sect. But I'm different... I am a direct descendant of the Xuantian Sect, but even as the sect leader's master, I still face many difficulties within the sect. She gave up her own ideas and listened to the opinions of the sect elders, considering the sect's interests."

That is, after all, the sect that gave me birth and raised me. If one day... I also choose my sect and never see you again...

Before she could finish speaking, Wu Qiong grabbed her delicate chin, stared into her eyes, and said fiercely, "Then I'll ride on auspicious clouds, smash the gates of the Xuan Tian Sect, tie you up, and then pull down your pants and spank you hard!"

"Um."

She closed her eyes, and the moisture in her beautiful eyes turned into tears, which slowly flowed down her cheeks.

Looking at the beautiful face so close to his, Wu Qiong gently lowered his head and kissed her lips.

Inside the room, Su Mubai leaned against the window with his arms crossed, seemingly lost in thought.

In another guest room, a man meditating, a smile playing on his lips, had his eyes closed.

Brother Wu, if one day you truly intend to shatter the heavens and reclaim Miss Li, this humble monk will accompany you!

He remains a staunch supporter of the "poor Bai" faction, Bai referring to Su Mubai.

But as a good brother, if that day really comes, even if he dies in the Xuantian Sect or is expelled from the Shaolin Temple, he will abstain from lust without any regrets!

That just shows he's overthinking things. Even if that day really comes, not only him, but Ye Qingxuan will definitely go with him.

Shaolin Taiqing has always been protective of its own. If the two of them were to get into trouble at Xuantian Sect, even if Xuantian Sect is the number one sect in the world, facing the leaders of Buddhism and Taoism at the same time would be enough to give them a hard time.

The scene returns to the rooftop.

"Ptooey, ptooey, ptooey." Wu Qiong looked annoyed. "Shi'er, you smell too strongly of alcohol. I really can't stand it. Why don't you rinse your mouth and take a shower to get rid of the smell, then we can continue kissing?"

"..." Li Jianshi was speechless.

The poor brother still doesn't understand the atmosphere, but there's nothing I can do, since I like him.

She gave a wicked laugh, then pounced on him, wrapping her arms around Wu Qiong's neck and fiercely kissing his lips.

"Waaah... Shi'er... please... waaah... give me some face, even if I don't take a bath, at least... waaah... rinse my mouth first!"

"I won't!"

Finally, Li Jianshi released Wu Qiong; she had kissed him thoroughly.

"I feel much better after chatting with my poor brother. I'm going back to sleep now." Li Jianshi jumped off the roof with a charming smile. Su Mubai came out at some point and silently watched her.

"It's my turn to go first this time," Li Jianshi said silently, then hummed a song and went back to her room to sleep.

Su Mubai calmly jumped onto the roof and quietly looked at Wu Qiong without saying a word.

"Little Bai, you can't sleep either, huh?" Wu Qiong chuckled awkwardly.

What's going on? Why does he feel like he's been caught cheating?

"I have a story, would you like to hear it?" The little white girl sat down next to him.

"Um...please speak," Wu Qiong said cautiously.

"Do you believe in past lives?" The little girl looked up at the moon and stretched out her hand: "Wine."

Wu Qiong took out another bottle of "Drunken Thousand Years" and handed it to her: "Trust me."

If there was no past life, then how can his time travel be explained?

"If I told you that you loved me in a past life, would you believe me?" she said slowly, taking a big gulp of wine.

Wu Qiongqi said, "Little Bai, you're mistaken. Shouldn't I be the one saying that? Even if you were to say it, it should be 'I fell in love with you in my past life,' not 'You fell in love with me in my past life.'"

"Don't worry about the details," the young woman said expressionlessly. "Anyway, do you believe me?"

"I believe it, I believe it." Wu Qiong nodded frantically.

He was very clear about his own aesthetic sense. If he had met Xiaobai in his previous life, he would definitely have fallen in love with her!

If this were in that world, a girl of Xiaobai's caliber probably wouldn't even look at him.

"In this life, I fell in love with you first," Xiaobai continued.

"I absolutely believe that," Wu Qiong said confidently. "After all, you are a woman of extraordinary temperament and unparalleled beauty who can see my extraordinary qualities at a glance. It is only natural that you like me."

The person who was eavesdropping was speechless and choked with emotion. How could this person be so shameless?

Li Jianshi, who was also eavesdropping, nodded subconsciously, as if agreeing with his praise of her unparalleled temperament and peerless beauty.

"That's right," the young woman agreed. "It's perfectly normal for other women to like you because you're so outstanding."

"But you are mine."

She gazed silently at Wu Qiong's face and repeated, "You are mine."

Wu Qiong's smile gradually faded. He sighed and said calmly, "But I want it all. Even if you leave me, I want it all, including you."

"It's alright, I respect your opinion, but I will make them withdraw on their own," Su Mubai said coldly.

"Oh?" Wu Qiong raised an eyebrow. "So confident?"

"Who do you think I am?" The future leader of the Demonic Sect exuded charisma: "Besides, my feelings for you far surpass those for them."

Two lifetimes.

Inside the room, Li Jianshi pouted. "How long have you known Brother Qiong? She's liked Brother Qiong for two lifetimes!"

"Alright." Wu Qiong sighed and said seriously, "But I still stand by what I said, I want it all. Even if you want to leave me, I won't let you go. Although it's unfair to both of you, I'm just that selfish."

"I really like your honesty." Su Mubai's lips curled up slightly as he turned and jumped off the roof.

"That's it?" Wu Qiong frowned.

"If I object, will you listen?" Su Mubai's voice came through.

Wu Qiong firmly replied, "No."

"Oh."

Then there's nothing more to say; let's all rely on our own abilities.

Inside the room, Jie Se sighed. The Xuan Tian Sect was troublesome enough, and now the Xie Ji Sect had appeared. Oh, and there was also the Great Zhou royal family...

"Amitabha Buddha," he chanted.

[Buddha...this disciple feels very unwell...]

The Buddha in his heart chuckled and spread his hands, saying, "I can't help it either."
