Look at Meixi and Ruixue, who are also staying at the Chen family's courtyard.
One successfully rose to power and became the mistress of the place.
The other one didn't treat herself like an outsider at all, calling him "uncle" repeatedly, almost like she was Chen Yuze's niece.
Compared to the two of them, Jin Liya was noticeably more obedient.
For example, Chen Yuze had reminded her many times that she didn't have to be so reserved in this family, but she never changed her ways.
It's clear that living in such a place puts a lot of pressure on Jin Liya.
But what Chen Yuze didn't know was that most of the pressure Jin Liya was under actually came from the other women in the Chen family courtyard.
.
Although no one had ever said anything harsh to Jin Liya or done anything to put pressure on her.
But for Jin Liya, simply living under the same roof with these women was already a very stressful thing.
Although Jin Liya didn't know their cultivation levels or their identities, she was certain that the aura emanating from these women was something not just anyone could possess.
At least among the people Jin Liya knew, only the Seventh Elder's aura was enough to barely put them to the test.
"Senior Chen, is there anything else in this house that I can help you with?"
Perhaps because she was used to being busy around the Seventh Elder, Jin Liya always felt somewhat uneasy when she had free time.
Unfortunately, there was really nothing she could do in this household.
"Miss Liya, you should go back to your room and rest first. I'll call you back when it's time for lunch." Carefully putting away the peach wood sword, Chen Yuze clearly didn't intend to assign Liya any work.
"Well, that's fine."
Seeing that Chen Yuze seemed genuinely unconcerned about having some free time, Liya nodded and returned to her room on the second floor, quickly entering a meditative state.
After all, for her, opportunities to cultivate in a place with such abundant spiritual energy are not many.
Once the Seventh Elder arrives, she will have to work with her people to build their new home.
Taking advantage of this time to practice more is a good choice.
Just after Liya went upstairs, Daji, who appeared out of nowhere, threw herself into Chen Yuze's arms.
"My benefactor, my benefactor, the stories you write are so good!"
Holding Chen Yuze's previously completed book, "The Soft Rice Man of the Empress's Family," Daji was incredibly excited.
Because she found reading a troublesome thing, Daji had never been interested in reading Chen Yuze's novels.
It wasn't until yesterday, when Moxi and Yuanbao enthusiastically recommended it to her, that Daji reluctantly started reading the storybook.
In reality, Daji initially only intended to pretend, planning to read a few chapters and then discard the storybook on the grounds that it was "uninteresting".
But to her surprise, this one glance was enough to set her completely on her head. By the time Daji realized what was happening, it was almost dawn.
"Don't you even think about who wrote this story?" Faced with Daji's sudden praise, Chen Yuze didn't hold back at all, and almost immediately raised his nose proudly.
As a result, Daji's next words immediately gave Chen Yuze a headache.
"My benefactor, my benefactor, I heard you're writing another new storybook... Could you write a little faster?"
"No, you haven't even finished reading this book yet, why are you urging me to update another one?" Although it is indeed a happy thing to be praised by my daughter for writing well, being urged to update by my daughter is just as painful as being urged to update by others.
Because you never know what these women might do to pressure you into updating your blog.
"Because this way, after I finish reading this one, I can directly read all the others in their entirety, instead of having to wait anxiously for you to update every day like Meixi and Yuanbao do~"
Answering Chen Yuze's question without hesitation, Daji stated her wish without any politeness.
After all, the feeling of reading a book from beginning to end in one go is definitely much more satisfying than following along one after another.
216. Just because I'm within the territory of Changqing Mountain!
Time flies in the mountains; more than ten days pass in the blink of an eye.
What puzzled Chen Yuze was that even after spending more than ten days together, Jin Liya was still the same timid and polite person she had been when she first arrived at the Chen family's courtyard.
Although there's nothing inherently wrong with this, it always makes Chen Yuze and the girls feel awkward.
It's like having a fairly familiar stranger living in your home.
Thanks to this, Chen Yuze and the girls also became much more restrained in their words and actions.
At least during this period, Chen Yuze rarely showed affection to his wives in broad daylight.
Fortunately, these days are finally coming to an end.
This morning, Jin Liya had already received a message that the Seventh Elder and his party were about to arrive at Changqing Mountain.
"Great! The Seventh Elder and the others are finally arriving."
Standing in the courtyard, Jin Liya breathed a long sigh of relief. This was the first time in the past ten days or so that she had shown her natural and relaxed side to Chen Yuze and the others.
"Senior Chen, thank you so much for taking care of me all this time. I have indeed been a bother to you and the other sisters. But don't worry, I will move out as soon as the Grand Elder arrives."
She sincerely expressed her deepest gratitude to Chen Yuze's family. Although she didn't know how to repay them yet, Jin Liya truly kept their kindness firmly in her heart.
"So in the end, you're still acting all polite and courteous." Looking at Jin Liya with a wry smile, Chen Yuze thought for a moment, then took some spirit stones he'd earned from writing storybooks and handed them to her.
I won't bother with formalities; you're welcome anytime you have time.
"Come visit again. These spirit stones may not be many, but they should still be of some use when you're building your settlement."
"Oh, I can't accept this."
Looking at the storage ring Chen Yuze handed over, Jin Liya wasn't just being polite; she genuinely felt she couldn't accept any more spirit stones.
"I am already very grateful to have been able to stay with you and my sisters during this time. Please take back these spirit stones, senior."
"Who said this spirit stone was going to be given to you?"
Ignoring Jin Liya's resistance, Chen Yuze, like an elder handing out red envelopes during Chinese New Year, forcefully stuffed the storage ring containing spirit stones into her hand: "This is a gift I gave to your clansmen. You kept saying that Yuanbao and I would protect you, but now you won't even accept such a small amount of spirit stones. I'm really going to get angry, you know?"
"Well, okay then..."
Seeing Chen Yuze's expression that left no room for negotiation, Jin Liya had no choice but to reluctantly accept the storage ring.
As she accepted the storage ring, she turned her back and muttered a few words in a very low voice.
"If only I could be as pretty and well-developed as my older sisters, that would be great."
"With my current physique, even if I wanted to offer myself to repay a debt of gratitude, the senior probably wouldn't even consider me..."
"Hmm? Liya, what did you just say?" Chen Yuze frowned, feeling like he had just heard something.
"N-nothing!"
Fearing that her true feelings would be overheard, Jin Liya quickly shook her head, burying her thoughts deep in her heart.
At the same time, she finally mustered up the courage to try speaking as if she were one of her own:
"Senior Chen, may I have one last meal prepared by you before the Seventh Elder arrives?"
"Why are you talking like it's a matter of life and death?" Chen Yuze chopped Jin Liya's hand and then turned and headed towards the kitchen.
"Even if you move out, you'll still live in Changqingshan, right? If you miss my cooking in the future, just come over during mealtimes. Even if you have one more mouth to feed, it won't bankrupt me."
……
That afternoon, a black flying boat carrying more than 300 women from the Golden Crow clan slowly entered the airspace of Changqing Mountain.
"Mother, do you really think this Evergreen Mountain can become our new home?"
Looking down at Changqing Mountain, which was clearly not very developed, Jin Xiuxiu frowned almost subconsciously.
In fact, it wasn't just Kim Soo-soo. The other members of the tribe on the airship shared similar doubts.
After all, Changqing Mountain does look rather 'desolate'. It doesn't really look like there's any powerful figure guarding it.
"I know what you're thinking."
With her eyes closed, Jin Susu shook her head and slowly said, "But now that we're here, let's not have such unnecessary and rude thoughts anymore."
In her communications with Liya over the past few days, Jin Susu has gained a general understanding of Chen Yuze, the uncrowned king of Changqingshan.
They also realized that Chen Yuze's power was indeed enough to protect their people.
The only thing that puzzled Jin Susu was that Liya's description of Chen Yuze, or rather, Chen Yuze's family, in the communication was too mysterious.
Things like white porridge that can give you ten days' worth of internal energy after just one bowl, or honey water that can increase your internal energy by just one cup... it's really hard to believe.
Moreover, his wife, who shares the same name as the Empress of Tushan, is also of great concern to Jin Susu.
Although deep down she felt that Chen Yuze's wife was definitely not the same person as the Tushan Empress, Jin Susu still harbored some hope.
If the Moxi on Changqing Mountain is the same Moxi from Tushan, then they've really latched onto a powerful figure this time. And it's the kind of power they can cling to no matter how hard they try.
It's no exaggeration to say that after several communications with Jin Liya, Jin Susu was filled with curiosity about the mysterious Chen Yuze.
This is also a key reason why she did not waver like other members of her tribe after seeing the desolate Changqing Mountain.
"In short, we will soon meet with the master of Changqing Mountain and Yuanbao."
When Jin Susu reopened her eyes, the terrifying demonic power of a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator swept over the consciousness of every clansman on the flying boat in an instant:
“Remember, we are the ones asking for your help now. So no matter what happens later, you must remain polite and never offend the owner of Changqing Mountain, understand? I don’t want to hear any more of those low-EQ questions.”
"yes--!!!"
……
Almost at the same time that the black flying boat slowly entered the territory of Changqing Mountain, three flying swords, which had concealed their whereabouts and were entirely black, followed closely behind.
If Jin Susu were to see this scene, she would probably break out in a cold sweat on the spot.
Because the three flying swords belonged to the fifteenth, sixteenth, and seventeenth elders of the Golden Crow clan.
Although their cultivation levels were slightly lower than Jin Susu's, they were only at the early stage of the Integration Realm.
However, Jin Susu had been using her own demonic power as fuel for the flying boat the whole way.
Even at her peak, she only had a 40% chance of winning against these three. If she were to clash with them now, her chances of winning would probably be less than 10%.
"Tsk tsk tsk, I didn't expect our..."
"What good luck, Fifteenth Brother, Sixteenth Brother!" Gazing at the flying boat in the sky, a fat, bald man couldn't help but lick his tongue, which had a piercing in it.
"Hehe, I originally thought this trip was just to investigate the cause of Thirteenth Brother's death and then bring Haojing's daughter back to the clan. But I never expected to run into that traitorous slut Seventh Cousin on the way. It's like finding a needle in a haystack! Once we bring these ungrateful women and Haojing's daughter back to the clan, won't Big Brother give us three a big reward?" Responding to the bald fat man was a gaunt man with dark circles under his eyes and very little flesh on his body, looking as if he already had one foot in a coffin.
