Chapter 815: Why return something borrowed if it was obtained through skill?
The dominance of the heavens and earth came and went quickly.
Some people were just preparing to go home to collect their clothes when the dark clouds dissipated right after they arrived.
The clothes on the drying rack were neither taken nor left. Of course, for the citizens of Imperial City, this was just a small episode.
…Within the Qin residence, Anya successfully passed the verification of the dominance of the heavens and earth, stepping into the realm of the third rank. Next, naturally, she had to serve tea to Father Qin and Second Mother Qin, as well as Elder Sister Jianli and Feilan.
The first two were just going through the motions. Father Qin and Second Mother Qin watched her leave with a smile.
As for the latter two…
Anya took a deep breath and said to Qin Feng, “Husband, you go ahead and busy yourself. I’ll go see the two Elder Sisters on my own.”
“Are you sure it’s okay to go alone?” Qin Feng asked in surprise, but to be honest, he didn’t really want to go himself.
As the saying goes, “Three women make a drama,” and he didn’t want to be in the eye of the storm, facing the challenges of three wives.
When the time came, if the wives asked him to take sides, he would be in a dilemma, no matter which wife he supported.You see, in front of women, there’s never a correct answer to multiple choice questions!
“Husband, don’t worry, I’m just going to chat with the two Elder Sisters. It’s not like I’m going to a battlefield,” Anya replied with a slight smile, but her eyes were full of determination.
Although her mother instructed her not to compete with the two Elder Sisters and just secure Qin Feng’s heart, as a princess of the royal family who had witnessed her mother’s dominance in the harem since childhood, how could she retreat without a fight?
As a princess of a country, she also had her own pride!
“In that case, I won’t accompany you. According to the time, Jianli and Feilan should be practicing in the courtyard right now,” Qin Feng said, then quickly left as if escaping.
…Anya had been to the Qin residence many times before, so she was familiar with the layout. In no time, she arrived at the corner of the corridor leading to the courtyard.
She could hear faint noises around her ears. Taking several deep breaths, she straightened her posture and slowly stepped forward. This would be the first battle she would engage in with the two Elder Sisters in the Qin residence!
But then she stood there dumbfounded, stunned by the scene in the courtyard.
The domain of swords enveloped the entire courtyard, and Liu Jianli and Cang Feilan were sparring within it. Sword qi filled the air, and the clash between the two completely exceeded her understanding!
If they were unhappy with her intrusion, would they attack me…? Anya nervously swallowed a mouthful of saliva.
Seeing her, Liu Jianli and Cang Feilan immediately stopped sparring. With a wave of her white sleeve, Liu Jianli dissipated the sword domain.
“Are you here to serve tea?” Cang Feilan was the first to speak up and asked with raised eyebrows.
When she first married into the Qin residence, she also had to serve tea to Elder Sister Jianli.
At first, she was unwilling, but later, she was convinced.
Now, seeing Anya, her mind couldn’t help but become excited. Since she was no match for Sister Jianli, she might be able to establish her authority over her.
God knows how much she hoped Anya would be as rebellious as she was in the past!
However, within the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, a delicate tea set was placed in front of Jianli and Feilan.
Anya quietly poured tea for the two Elder Sisters, and thoughtfully reminded them, “Be careful, it’s hot!”
‘My mother was right. As long as I hold onto my husband’s heart, there’s no need to antagonize the two Elder Sisters…’
A wise person knows when to yield to the strong without feeling ashamed.
Seeing the other party so courteous, Cang Feilan felt somewhat stifled, unable to vent her frustration, so she drank the tea with a displeased expression.
Liu Jianli, on the other hand, remained calm and composed, with the demeanor of a main wife.
After some idle chatter, Cang Feilan spoke again, “I forgot to tell you about the rules of the house. Sharing the bed with my husband is on a rotating basis, with each person taking turns for a night. Since you got married yesterday, I didn’t compete with you, but tonight it’s my turn.”
To think there would be such a thing… Anya’s pupils widened involuntarily, and she subconsciously pursed her lips.
After tasting forbidden fruit for the first time, one will naturally become addicted. The sweetness of last night still lingered in her mind, but she would have to wait three days for her next turn with her husband?
How could she endure this… Amidst her swirling thoughts, she found a solution and softly said, “I won’t hide it from the two Elder Sisters, I was able to enter the third rank thanks to my husband’s help.”
Liu Jianli and Cang Feilan looked up, already aware of this fact.
“So?”
“…I have just entered the third level, and my realm is not yet stable. If I can stay with my husband for a few more nights, there shouldn’t be much of a problem.”
Cang Feilan raised her eyebrows, “Are you joking?”
Anya immediately added, “Naturally, I won’t let the two Elder Sisters suffer losses. Consider these days as borrowed, and I will return them in full later.”
Hearing this, Cang Feilan wanted to say something, but was stopped by Liu Jianli.
“Sister Jianli?”
“Come with me.” Liu Jianli stood up, indicating for Anya to wait here for a moment while they went out.
Cang Feilan couldn’t understand, “Sister Jianli, this is against the rules.”
Liu Jianli gently said, “Do you remember the prophecy from the disciple of the Heavenly Tower National Teacher?”
Of course, Cang Feilan remembered.
The prophecy was that her husband would have two sons and two daughters, a message that was now widely known in Imperial City, sparking many families’ desires to marry their daughters into the Qin residence!
“If Anya could conceive twins earlier, wouldn’t this prophecy come true?”
“So, what Sister Jianli means is…” Cang Feilan suddenly understood.
“My husband’s strength has now reached the peak of the second level. Even I can’t see through it. It is not easy to give birth to an heir with such cultivation.”
Implicit in her words was the idea that quantity could lead to quality!
“But Sister Jianli, when we were pregnant with Xiao’er and Lan’er, it wasn’t something that happened overnight. Can it succeed in just a few days?”
“Whether it succeeds or not, just give her seven days. And she will have to repay in the future.”
After pondering for a moment, to prevent the sly foxes outside from continuing to covet her husband, Cang Feilan reluctantly agreed.
When Anya learned of the two Elder Sisters’ agreement, she smiled brightly.
Seeing her expression, Cang Feilan couldn’t help but remind her, “These days, you will have to return them later.”
Anya nodded, “Younger sister understands.”
Despite her agreement, as someone well-versed in business principles, she understood one thing—why return something borrowed if it was obtained through skill?
Moreover, the two Elder Sisters didn’t specify when they should be returned.
When she became pregnant and couldn’t engage in marital activities, she could just pay back as many days as she wanted…
Days passed peacefully, and it seemed like every household was living happily.
At the top of the Heavenly Tower, the National Teacher sighed deeply, because he knew that this was just the calm before the storm.
The real battle was about to begin, it could not be avoided, and all he could do was prepare some backup plans.
On the other side, at the northernmost border, in the land of the Rakshasa.
The Rakshasa Queen gazed at the constantly twisting and writhing bodies before her, exuding increasingly powerful. She licked her lips with excitement on her face.
In the sky, a large eyeball spoke faintly, “With this power, it’s only a matter of time before the Rakshasa clan will ascend to dominance in this world.”
“So, what should I do?” the Rakshasa Queen asked.
“Destroy all the Dragon Sealing Stele in the Four Regions of The Great Qian!”
