Tempting beauties? No.. No.

When Luo Huian stepped out of the bathing room in the ward, the atmosphere outside had subtly changed. Ye Shun was now sitting on the stool while surrounded by three mers, and the three of them were sort of comforting him. 

But they stopped when they saw Luo Huian step out of the bathing room. 

Luo Huian turned to look at the three mers who were supposedly married to her predecessor and did not know what kind of expression to make. Honestly speaking, these three mers did not have much of a relationship with Luo Huian. In fact, it would be right to say that there was no relationship at all. 

These three mers met with Luo Huian in an arranged marriage match before it was decided that they were a perfect match for Luo Huian. And by perfect, their families were well compatible in one way or another. Humans were like that, they lived by measuring benefits and advantages. 

This also applied in marriage. 

'I don't blame them, what was love worth anyway?' Luo Huian hummed. As she recalled what the mer nurse had relayed to her earlier. As for why she was the one who was married to them and not Luo Qingling——

'What are you even talking about? Miss Qingling is the most wanted bachelor in this country, if she gets married it will be troublesome as Heaven's Knight Guild will suffer a lot of losses. Forget about your parents, even the elders of the Guild will not agree to Miss Qingling's marriage for the time being.'

That was what the mer nurse told her. Since Luo Qingling's marriage was impossible for the time being, the responsibility of marrying and bringing beneficial alliances to the family fell on the head of Luo Huian, this good for nothing. 

Luo Huian turned to look at the mer who stood on the right of Ye Shun, and her gaze met with those soft emerald eyes that were shrouded by silvery bangs that fell over the forehead of the mer, who was looking back at her. 

Qi Yongrui was the first husband of Luo Huian and the only mer son of the Qi family. He was adopted by the Qi family when he was just six years old but he had been raised with all the love and care of the Qi family. At the age of twenty-six, he was now the owner of two multiplex and six businesses. 

He and Luo Huian got married because the Qi family wanted the Luo family's help to win an investment. The relationship between the two families only got better with time as the Qi family was eager to stay connected with Luo Qingling, the guild master of the top-ranking guild. 

She then turned her gaze to look at Fan Meilin, an inky-haired and gray-eyed mer. He was the prince of the Fan family and a Formula One racer, she did not know much about him as the Fan family protected Fan Meilin too well but she did know that the Fan family had to offer their son to this marriage in exchange for some financial help when their business was on the verge of bankruptcy. 

The mer sensed her gaze and glared at her causing Luo Huian to look away. 

Okay my guy? There was no need for such glares to be exchanged. 

She looked away from Fan Meilin and then looked at the last mer who stood next to Ye Shun. If she was not wrong then this mer was none other than Liao Liqin. The genius sculptor and the third son of the Liao family, he was born with a special condition which caused him to become mute. 

It wasn't as if he could not speak, he could but Liao Liqin refused to speak. His inability to talk made it rather difficult for his family to find a match for him as he was not only unable to speak, but he was rather cheeky at times. 

The last time he poured tomato puree on the head of his senior who tried to make him speak. 

It was because of this reason that Liao Liqin was married off to Luo Huian as she had no interest in him. Even though he was a beautiful mer with purplish hair and soft amber eyes that looked like molten honey. 

In fact, all three mers were a beauty in their own way but Luo Huian had no desire towards them. 

Her dad told her that beauties were the ultimate cause of debts, wars and death. As Luo Huian did not want any of that it was only right to stay away from these mers. Not to mention, if she were to get interested in these mers, she would end up slowing down her cultivation. 

She was still at the Heavenly Immortal Stage which meant that she was still at the First Border Realm! 

Luo Huian needed to at least cross the Profound Immortal before she could even think about beauties. Since that was the case ——

See no evil. Fear no evil. 

"I will be taking my leave then," Luo Huian spoke to Ye Shun alone. She did not know about the rest of the family but Ye Shun truly cared for Luo Huian and he sort of reminded her of her Dad. Even if she wanted to be rude to him, Luo Huian could not bring herself to treat Ye Shun in the same manner as Luo Yeqing. 

When Ye Shun heard that Luo Huian was leaving, he couldn't help himself anymore. He stood up from the stool and then walked over to where his daughter stood. With his hands that reached towards Luo Huian, he clasped her arms. 

He said, "Huian, Huian… there is no need for you to leave. If your mother does not want to raise you then I will… we will return to the Ye house and I will take care of you there." 

When Luo Yeqing heard Ye Shun say that she did not want to raise Luo Huian, she opened her mouth to refute him. How could she be not willing to raise her daughter? It was just that Luo Huian was too big of a troublemaker. But before she could say anything ——
