--- Chapter 204 ---

"So, this is how our day starts, huh?" Yi Xian commented. 

At this very moment, Baek Ain's wives faced three young ladies who used to be his disciples. Since he revealed his identity, it was clear that they were his harem members now. 

Qing Lin is younger than Baek Ain's three disciples, but she got used to their presence in the last month, and being called 'Madam.' by them was not bad. 

On the other hand, Lan Rou and Yi Xian just met them recently. 

Yi Xian's reaction is predictable. 

As for Lan Rou, she's as calm as still water. 

At the same time, Yao Ling'er, Huo Zhi, and Gu Xun'er were nervous and sweating profusely. Even though Baek Ain accepts them, his wives might say otherwise. Fortunately for them, Cai Lin(Queen Medusa) wasn't here because she would have given them a lot of teachings about Baek Ain's harem. 

Eventually, it was Qing Lin who broke the awkward ice. 

"Welcome, welcome, you three." Qing Lin giggled happily. "I know this will happen sooner or later." 

"Hubby has been thinking a lot about this, you know? He even had a dilemma." 

'Since when did I have a dilemma?' Baek Ain's mouth twitched. But he knew that keeping his mouth was the best for now.  

Yao Ling'er, Huo Zhi, and Gu Xun'er peeked at each other before bobbing their heads in agreement. They bowed at their seniors and said, "We also love Teacher Ain. Please take care of us!" 

Yi Xian, Lan Rou, and Qing Lin blinked in surprise.

Then, they laughed.

"PFFT, TEACHER AIN! THEY SAID TEACHER AIN!" Yi Xian laughed out loud. "Ain, you really have corrupted these innocent ladies." 

Lan Rou covered her mouth and chuckled, "Now that I think about it, Ain might have a teacher-disciple fetish... Maybe he wanted to relive his moment when I was his instructor from a different perspective." 

"True..." Qing Lin glanced at Baek Ain.

"..." Baek Ain.

Sure enough, he was speechless. 

But he didn't deny their slanders. 

"Okay, girls. Let's get along well from now on." Yi Xian finally stopped laughing. "Your addition to the harem is actually a good thing." 

"Even the three of us couldn't handle Ain last night. He's too damn strong, so that's why we must band together and defeat this beast of a man!" 

"Oh!" Yao Ling'er raised her arm with a fighting spirit.

"O-Owh!" Huo Zhi and Gu Xun'er were shocked by this information. 

'Does Ain was that invicible in the bed?' They involuntarily swallowed their saliva at such a thought. 

"It's Girl Talk, Ain. You should get out." Lan Rou comically pushed Baek Ain to the door. 

Baek Ain was kicked out of the room and helplessly stood before the closed door. 

[Damn. It's not even five minutes, and they already kicked you out] Alicia teased him.

"Yeah, very funny." Baek Ain ignored her and went to the lobby. 

[Come on, they are bonding with each other]

[Harmonious Harem is a Good Harem, Host] 

Baek Ain still ignored Alicia and met Gu Yuan on the way to the lobby. He still had his disguise on, so he wasn't panicking. Still, the mood is somewhat awkward. 

Gu Yuan kept thinking about how close his lovely daughter to Baek Ain was. Of course, Baek Ain is way better than Xiao Yan. He doesn't need to compare them. 

As for Baek Ain, he can't help it. After all, this middle-aged man before him will be his father-in-law soon.

"Morning." Gu Yuan decided to greet Baek Ain first.

"Morning." Baek Ain responded.

"Lobby?" 

"Lobby." 

They walked to the lobby rigidly, finding Yao Dan and Elder Huo Ling by the mahogany table. 

"Ah, Brother Lin, Patriarch Gu. Tea?" Yao Dan offered herbal tea. 

"Yes, thank you." 

They sat around the mahogany table and drank their tea in peace. That's until Baek Ain decided to drop a bomb. 

"I've proposed to Yao Ling'er, Huo Zhi, and Gu Xun'er." 

"PFFT!" 

Gu Yuan, Yao Dan, and Huo Ling spewed their tea. They stared at Baek Ain in disbelief. 

"W-What?!" 

"I know, shocker, right?" Baek Ain chuckled. "Don't worry, they accepted my proposal quite well." 

"No, no, we need more details!" Huo Ling demanded while slamming her tea cup against the table. 

Baek Ain smiled and kept the explanation short so they could ask their respective heiress for more details later. What matters is that he wanted to take them as his wives.

"..." Yao Dan.

"..." Gu Yuan.

"..." Huo Ling.

"What?" Baek Ain asked in puzzlement. 

Yao Dan gave him a thumbs up and commented, "Brother Lin, you're a man among men. Although a loving relationship between a teacher and disciple isn't unheard of, it's somewhat blasphemous..." 

"It's not somewhat blasphemous, Chief Yao. IT IS BLASPHEMOUS!" Huo Ling grumbled unhappily.

Gu Yuan just felt his world turned upside down. He wanted to scold Baek Ain, but the situation between his daughter and Baek Ain was unique. 

At the very least, Baek Ain doesn't look and seems old. He's probably only a few years, if not a decade, older than Gu Xun'er. If they like each other truthfully, Gu Yuan doesn't have much to say about it. 

Baek Ain pulled his hands and raised his three fingers, "I love those girls very much, so I'd tell you the dowry in advance." 

"I will make three more batches of Dou Di's Blood Purifying Pills." 

They suddenly stopped and sucked a cold breath.

"This, this is not a joke, right?" Yao Dan asked nervously. 

"No." Baek Ain shook his head. "With my past experience of making the pills, the success rate will increase by 9..."

'Nine percent? That's unbelievable!' The three elders thought. 

"90%." Baek Ain finished his words, giving the three elders a scare. 

"Ninety!" Yao Dan stood up and stared at Baek Ain like he was an alien or something. "Hehe... Brother Lin, your joke is not funny." 

Baek Ain stared at him and answered casually, "I wouldn't joke about my wife's future." 

After hearing such a confident line, even the disgusted Elder Huo Ling smiled happily. 

Yup, what's more attractive to cultivators than the Miraculous Pills?

If the Ancient Clans could get their hands on this batch of Dou Di's Blood Purifying Pills, their strength would increase by a leap. Besides that, they could tie Baek Ain down to their clans. 

'It sucks that we have to share. If not, Yan Clan will be the leader of the Ancient Clans.' Huo Ling's ambition soared. 

Only one person doesn't seem fazed by Baek Ain's over-the-top dowry. 

It's none other than Gu Yuan, the father of Heroine. 

"What's the matter, Patriarch Gu? You don't like the dowry?" Yao Dan felt Gu Yuan's silence was weird. 

Gu Yuan silently stared at Baek Ain and asked, "What do you think of my daughter?" 

Baek Ain smiled weakly, "She's a lovely young lady. Unfortunately, fate played her dirty." 

"Do you truly love her?" Gu Yuan pressed even further.

"If you think my sincerity isn't enough, I can add ten kinds of 9th pills to the dowry." Baek Ain was puzzled by Gu Yuan's words. 

"I don't care about the damn pills. I'm asking you, DO YOU TRULY LOVE MY DAUGHTER!?" Gu Yuan grumpily repeated.

Baek Ain was stunned momentarily before catching up on why Gu Yuan acted like this.

'He wants to confirm my feelings for Xun'er. Aih, as expected of a good father like him.' He chuckled inside as he noticed Gu Yuan's questioning yet anxious gaze.

Baek Ain opened his mouth and said calmly, "Yes, I love her." 

"I love Xun'er and would do anything to make her happy." 

"Even death can't split us apart." 

"Good." Gu Yuan nodded, finally releasing a sigh of relief inside. 

He bowed to Baek Ain, "I entrust my precious daughter to you, so please take care of her well."

Baek Ain blinked before bowing as well, "Likewise, father-in-law." 

After that, the conversation becomes more hospitable. 

And they began to talk about a plan to destroy the Hall of Souls.
