However, just as Ye Qingxian was feeling agitated by the inexplicable emotions in her heart, Zhu Chen suddenly spoke up again.

"Yunxi, I also have something I want to tell you."

He spoke hesitantly, and his eyes darted away unconsciously.

Yunxi was incredibly intelligent and immediately noticed Zhu Chen's unusual behavior.

Her heart tightened slightly, but she maintained a gentle smile and asked softly, "What is it? Tell me."

Zhu Chen remained silent for a moment, but finally decided to speak frankly: "This Celestial City... I will make it our home from now on, but before that, I need to go to some places and bring some people back."

Yunxi's smile froze slightly as she involuntarily recalled what her grandfather, Yun Canghai, had said to her a few days earlier.

Zhu Chen is no ordinary person. With his talent, fortune, and temperament, he will surely become the strongest person in this world in the future.

Such a man is destined to have more than one female confidante.

This is destiny, and it is also his way.

What she needs to do is not to be jealous or to obstruct, but to learn to be tolerant.

If she can tolerate the other women around Zhu Chen, then her position in Zhu Chen's heart will never be shaken.

Conversely, it will push Zhu Chen further and further away.

Yun Canghai's words sounded like an alarm bell in Yun Xi's heart.

Yunxi took a deep breath, suppressing the fleeting bitterness in her heart, then raised her head and looked calmly at Zhu Chen, saying, "You're going to pick up some women, right?"

Zhu Chen was taken aback for a moment upon hearing this, then immediately nodded.

He thought Yunxi would be angry, but he didn't expect her to be so understanding and righteous.

Yunxi gave a soft "hmm," then continued to ask, "So, what kind of people are those women you're going to pick up?"

Zhu Chen paused for a moment before saying, "To be honest, they are not from this world; they come from other worlds."

"Other worlds?"

A hint of surprise flashed in Yunxi's beautiful eyes, but she quickly understood.

She had long known that Zhu Chen had the ability to travel through various worlds, and had also met Xiao Yan, Lin Dong, and others.

Since his brothers could come from other worlds.

Then those women... naturally can too.

"I see."

Yunxi nodded, her calm tone surprising even Zhu Chen.

Zhu Chen looked at her, and asked uncertainly, "You...aren't angry?"

Yunxi shook her head, a faint smile playing on her lips: "It would be a lie to say I'm not angry, but I know I can't stop you, and I don't want to. Grandpa is right, someone like you is destined not to belong to me alone. Rather than being jealous and making things difficult for you, it's better to... learn to accept them."

A warm feeling welled up in Zhu Chen's heart.

He stepped forward, gently embraced Yunxi, and whispered, "Yunxi, thank you. I promise you, no matter how many people come in the future, your place in my heart will always be irreplaceable."

Yunxi buried her face in Zhu Chen's chest and softly hummed, "You said it yourself, you can't go back on your word."

Zhu Chen solemnly replied, "I will never go back on my word."

"This little lecher, he actually makes picking up girls sound so noble. And this female cultivator named Yunxi is also quite outrageous. That kid hasn't even said a word yet, and you've already convinced yourself?"

Ye Qingxian stood on the city wall and muttered something to herself. She turned her head away, no longer looking at Zhu Chen, and inwardly scolded herself: Ye Qingxian, Ye Qingxian, what are you thinking about? You bear heavy responsibilities, how can you be disturbed by such sentimental matters?
No matter how she tried to comfort herself, that bittersweet feeling lingered in her heart and she couldn't shake it off.

Zhu Chen released Yun Xi and said seriously, "I am going to pick up four people this time. They are from different worlds and have karmic entanglements with me. If you want to come with me, I can take you with me."

Yunxi smiled gently: "No need, you go ahead. Xi'er is still here. I'm staying to keep her company. Grandpa and I are here in Tianren City, so you don't need to worry."

Zhu Chen nodded half-jokingly: "Okay, I'll go and come back quickly, and then we'll have a second child..."

Yunxi blushed, glared at him, but did not refute him.

Yun Canghai stroked his beard and smiled, his gaze towards Zhu Chen becoming increasingly satisfied.

At this moment, Yunxi suddenly remembered something and casually asked, "By the way, those women you just mentioned are from other worlds. Would they be willing to come here with you?"

Zhu Chen paused slightly: "I haven't mentioned this to them yet, but... they shouldn't refuse."

He spoke with confidence, but there was also a hint of unease in his voice.

Yunyun, Yuanyao, Ziling, Hongdie...

He was indeed connected to these women, but he wasn't entirely sure how deep or shallow that connection was, or whether they were willing to abandon their original worlds for him and come to this unfamiliar land.

But he had to fight for it.

Yunxi noticed his hesitation and gently comforted him, "Go ahead, just do your best. If they are willing to come, I will treat them with the respect due to sisters. If they are not willing... then it is because you are not destined to be with them, so there is no need to force it."

Moved, Zhu Chen squeezed Yun Xi's hand again.

"Wait for me to come back."

He said solemnly, then turned to look at Ye Qingxian standing on the city wall and said, "Fairy Ye, I'll trouble you to take care of Tianren City for me during this time."

Ye Qingxian snapped out of her daze and nodded subconsciously: "Don't worry, I'm here, nothing will happen."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Chen said no more, quickly opened the interdimensional passage, and disappeared from the spot.

Yunxi stared in the direction he disappeared for a long time without saying a word, lost in thought.

At this moment, Ye Qingxian walked over and asked softly, "Aren't you afraid he'll never come back?"

Yunxi shook her head, a gentle smile playing on her lips: "No, he said he would come back, and he definitely will."

Ye Qingxian was silent for a moment, then suddenly sighed: "You... trust him quite a bit."

Yunxi turned to look at Ye Qingxian, her gaze clear as water: "Sister Ye, do you like him too?"

Ye Qingxian was taken aback, then her face flushed slightly, and she quickly denied it, saying, "What nonsense are you talking about? I bear a heavy responsibility, how could I..."

"Taking on heavy responsibilities and liking someone are not mutually exclusive."

Yunxi interrupted Ye Qingxian and said with a soft laugh, "I saw the way you looked at him just now, and it was exactly the same as when I looked at him."

Ye Qingxian opened her mouth, wanting to refute, but found herself speechless.

Yunxi didn't say anything more and turned to walk into the city.

"Let's go, Sister Ye, let's go to the city together and wait for him to come back."

Ye Qingxian stood there, watching Yun Xi's back, and then looking in the direction where Zhu Chen had disappeared. She suddenly realized that the tangled mess in her heart seemed to be getting more and more unsolvable.
