Chapter 273 First Difficult Mission
By the time Xia Tian and Zhu Honglian arrived at Xia Manor, everyone was already waiting for them in the garden, so he immediately brought her there directly.
“Oh? So you guys are familiar now?” Xia Tian joked when he saw Bai Yinyue chatting with his other women.
Liu Ying laughed when she saw Xia Tian. “Yinyue just told us about your past, Tian.”
“Hmm?” Xia Tian raised his eyebrows as he glanced at Bai Yinyue who was still laughing. “I don’t think there’s anything interesting in my life-”
Xia Xing suddenly shouted while pointing at Zhu Honglian. “What is she doing here, Tian?”
Xia Xing’s shout startled them, and Zhu Honglian stiffened seeing her like that, she then held Xia Tian’s hand tightly.
“Xing’er! How many times have I told you not to act like this? It’s not good for a woman to shout like that, and your attitude is really not ladylike.” Xia Tian instead lectured her, as he really didn’t like Xia Xing’s attitude that easily overflowed with emotions.
“I-” Xia Xing did not continue, and lowered her head in annoyance that Xia Tian defended Zhu Honglian.
“So you haven’t told them, Yuhe?” Xia Tian asked as he turned to Zhu Yuhe who shook her head.
Xia Tian took a deep breath, then he told them about what really happened between him and Zhu Honglian, thus making her decide to call off their engagement.
“Do you understand now, Xing’er?” Xia Tian asked Xia Xing, and she answered him with a nod. He then continued again. “It wasn’t Honglian’s fault in the first place, and it was all my own fault, so I don’t want you to continue to be angry with her. Moreover, now Honglian has also become my woman.”
“Eh!?” Liu Ying and the others exclaimed in surprise hearing that, they really didn’t expect that their relationship would suddenly turn so good again, they then looked at Zhu Yuhe and Zhu Honglian in turns.
“You guys don’t have to look at us like that, I was the one who asked Tian to take Honglian as his woman, it’s because she loves him too much.” Zhu Yuhe explained with a bitter smile, then she looked at Liu Ying, Xia Ning, and Liu Meng, before she continued again. “Besides, isn’t Tian’s relationship already a mess because of his relationship with the three of you? Moreover, he also wants Chen Xue and Xiang Yin to be his women as well, so I think there’s no problem adding one more mess to his relationship.”
The three women were speechless, because Xia Tian’s relationship was already too messed up with them as his women. And his relationship will become even more chaotic in the future, because he also wants Chen Xue and Xiang Yin as his women.
Xiang Yin and Chen Xue didn’t say anything, and they only lowered their faces in shame, as they didn’t expect that Zhu Yuhe would bring their names into their conversation.
Yu Suyin chuckled at her mother’s reaction, she then hugged Zhu Hongyan and Xia Xing’s arms, and said. “Isn’t this great, Honglian, Xing’er? Since childhood we have promised to marry Tian, and now we have become his women.”
“En.” Xia Xing and Zhu Honglian nodded in agreement with Yu Suyin’s words.
“Hehe, I never thought before that your relationship would be this messed up, Husband.” Bai Yinyue said as she laughed softly. “In the past, although I always forced you to accept Big Sis Xiao and Jing’er, but you always refused to accept them, yet now you have so many women by your side. Anyway, don’t you want to explain to them about Tian Qilian, Husband?”
“Tian Qilian?” Liu Ying and most of them turned to Xia Tian questioningly, as only a few of them already knew about Tian Qilian. “Who is Tian Qilian, Tian?”
Xia Tian sighed softly, then he told them about Tian Qilian. “I don’t even know what she really looks like, because at that time my body was controlled by the Fire Ox’s soul remnant. But Shiyun knew her very well, because Tian Qilian’s father was the one who sent her here.”
“Shiyun? The giant crane? So you mean Tian Qilian is also a beast like her?”
“En, Tian Qilian is indeed a beast that turns into a human, but she is not just any ordinary beast, and she is a Lightning Qilin.” Whenever he talked about Tian Qilian, Xia Tian always felt guilty in his heart.
“Lightning Qilin? You mean, she is a Mythical Beast, Tian?” They shouted in shock.
Xia Tian nodded. “En, Qilian is indeed the Mythical Beast Lightning Qilin.”
Liu Ying then said. “Anyway, we have already decided to hold your wedding with Yinyue at the Vemilion Imperial Palace later, Tian.”
“Hmm?” Xia Tian raised his eyebrows, and looked at all of them in surprise. “Why did you guys decide that?”
“We know your heart well, Tian.” Zhu Yuhe said as she turned to Bai Yinyue. “Even though you care and love us, but we are aware that Yinyue’s position in your heart is too special, so we agreed for her to be your Main Wife. Moreover, the two of you were husband and wife in the past life, so it would be best if it remains the same in this life.”
Xia Tian didn’t reply immediately, and he looked at them strangely one by one, as he never even thought about Main Wife, because they were all the same to him. Before long he sighed, and said. “Alright then, I’ll follow your plan.”
Qiao Xiao suddenly interrupted them. “We have to return to our realm, Tian. Little Jing and Little Ying have to take care of the Elven Nature Realm, and I myself also have to make pills for that person.”
“Which person?” Xia Tian raised his eyebrows.
Qiao Xiao then answered him with a mysterious smile. “Who else is always asking for pills to keep him young? You don’t want him to find you on this planet, do you?”
“No! I don’t want to meet him, that guy is really disgusting.” Xia Tian said as he shuddered.
“Ha ha ha!” Qiao Xiao burst out laughing. “But I’m sure that he’ll be happy to know you’re still alive, Tian.”
“Stop talking about that effeminate person! You better hurry back to your realm, and if you guys want to meet me, then you can enter my space anytime.” Xia Tian really didn’t want to meet the person Qiao Xiao was referring to, he then walked over to Fan Ying, and held her shoulders. “Little Ying-”
“Don’t say anything for now, Uncle Tian.” Fan Ying interrupted him by shaking her head. “I’m still not ready for now, moreover you still have to improve your relationship with Quexian first.”
“Alright, I understand.” Xia Tian replied with a nod.
Qiao Xiao then took out her flying artifact, and immediately boarded it with the Elf Sisters. But then she remembered something, and she threw a small artifact at Xia Tian. “That flying artifact is enough for you to move freely around this mortal world, you can even return to that Earth.”
Without saying any further, Qiao Xiao immediately executed her flying artifact, and they left the Seven Star World in an instant.
“Wow! Big Sis Xiao’s flying artifacts are truly extraordinary, in the blink of an eye they have disappeared from this planet.” Bai Yinyue called out softly.
“En, but this flying artifact is also good, with this I can explore the Seven Star World easily and quickly.” Xia Tian said while showing the flying artifact in his hand, then he turned towards Zhu Yuhe. “So you’re really going to move to Vermilion Capital City in two days, Yuhe? And who’s going to take care of the Zhu Kingdom?”
Zhu Yuhe nodded at him. “I will temporarily take care of it myself, and I will immediately integrate it with Vermilion Empire like your previous plan.”
“That’s good.” Xia Tian nodded. “As for the Huo and Shan Kingdoms, just carry out the plan we developed earlier. By restricting the trade of the two kingdoms, I believe their people will be angry.”
Bai Yinyue chuckled. “You want to use a modern strategy to control them, Husband? That’s absolutely brilliant, that way we don’t have to waste our energy fighting them.”
While they were talking about it, suddenly a woman came out of one of the rooms, and walked towards them. Xia Tian instantly frowned as soon as he saw the woman, because he felt something strange in her body.
[It seems she is suffering a backlash from her cultivation, Master. And her energy keeps depleting every second.]
‘Show her status, Alice.’

==============================
‘Hmm? So she was the one who gave Xing’er the Divine Kun Peng Bloodline, huh? But how can there be so many Mythical Beasts on this small planet?’ Xia Tian inwardly wondered, but suddenly a notification popped up in his mind.
[Ding]
[Mission: Healing Ye Qingyue]
[Rank : Difficult]
[Time Limit : A Year]
[Reward : Brilliant Wings x1]
‘Difficult Rank Mission?’ Xia Tian was really surprised by the notification.
Ye Qingyue also looked at Xia Tian expressionlessly, but she wasn’t bothered by it, because he didn’t look at her with any strange intentions.
Before Ye Qingyue could speak, Xia Tian had already asked. “Are you suffering a backlash from your cultivation, Ye Qingyue? I can feel your energy steadily depleting, even your meridians and spiritual roots are also getting weaker.”
Ye Qingyue was dumbfounded by Xia Tian’s question, because almost no one knew about it, not even the elders of the Jade Pearl Sect knew about her injuries, and only Fan Youling knew about it.
“Is what you said true, Tian? Is Master really injured?” Xia Xing asked Xia Tian, ??as she held Ye Qingyue who was trembling slightly.
“You can ask her yourself, Xing’er. If she is not treated within a year then her cultivation will be lost, and if her cultivation is lost then she will definitely die.” Xia Tian conveyed his conclusion about Ye Qingyue’s condition.
Xia Xing then turned to Ye Qinyue with concern. “Is that true, Master? Are you really that badly injured, Master?”
Ye Qingyue only replied with a nod, her eyes continued to stare at Xia Tian, ??and she remembered Fan Youling’s words about her back then.
[Tsk, this woman is very cold and doesn’t talk much.] Alice grumbled softly.
“Can you heal Qingyue’s injuries, Tian?” Chen Xue joined in because she had known Ye Qingyue for a long time.
“I’m not sure if I can cure her now.” Xia Tian answered honestly, because he didn’t want to give her false hope. “But I need to examine her body first to determine the extent of her injuries.”
“Let Tian’er check on you first, Qingyue. Since he has good medical knowledge, he can even heal Li Fei as well as my mother-in-law.” Chen Xue held Ye Qingyue’s hand and tried to persuade her, but Ye Qingyue’s eyes clearly showed doubt.
“Forget it, Xue’er. She really doubts me, so you don’t have to persuade her anymore.” Xia Tian nonchalantly said, then he took Bai Yinyue away after bidding farewell to the others, as he still wanted to talk to her about many things.
“What are you thinking, Qingyue? Tian’er can even recover his own spiritual roots, maybe he is your only hope to heal your wounds, but now it seems that he is annoyed with you.” Chen Xue sighed softly after saying that.
Zhu Yuhe finally joined in to talk to her. “In this world, apart from Tian, ??then no one can cure you, Sect Master Ye. I know you doubt him because he is too young in your eyes, but we all know him very well, and we also know about his abilities.”
After she said that, Zhu Yuhe immediately brought Zhu Honglian back with her to Zhu Palace, because she missed her daughter very much.
Xiang Yin, Yu Suya, and Yu Suyin also returned to the Yu House. Likewise the other women, they returned to their respective places.
