Chapter 1698: Chapter 1698: This Is Strategy
To show sincerity, Long Fei personally took a walk around Rakshasa Island.
This island is quite large, but when the tide rises, a third of the reefs are subrged in the sea.
The island’s terrain is flat, with only a central slope of over a hundred ters that has vegetation.
Other areas, due to the icy aura, are exposed with black rocks that look grim and unsettling.
The Mystic Turtle clan differs from regular turtles; ordinary sea turtles prefer the sun over the shade.
They enjoy the sea breeze on the beach and laying eggs.
If placed on such an icy island, they might not last more than two or three days.
When Mystic Turtles cultivate, they need to absorb the icy aura to counteract the internal heat poison, necessitating such a grim setting.
After thousands of Mystic Turtles arrived, they toured around the island’s surroundings and were obviously very satisfied with the environnt here.
Long Fei and Old Taixuan Turtle from the Turtle Clan had just fought, yet like nothing happened, Long Fei approached and introduced, “Esteed Elders, the sea eye of this island is on the eastern side. It is even gloomier inside, suitable for your closed-door cultivation.”
The disciples from Jade Island had long since explored and understood the situation of these seventy-two islands.
Long Fei had also taken a turn here earlier and was clearly familiar with the place.
Old Taixuan Turtle snorted with dissatisfaction, “Got it!”
He was very dissatisfied with the compromise strategy of the Turtle Clan. Instead of staying in their ho, they had to follow this young man’s orders and move to this spooky place.
There wasn’t even any snow to be seen from all directions.
After settling the Turtle Clan, Long Fei returned to Jade Island.
He asked Gui Er to speak up if needed, as Jade Island could help the Turtle Clan set up so basic infrastructures on the island.
The Mystic Turtle clan has lower requirents for living conditions, unlike the Human Race that seeks luxury, insisting on living in a lavish mansion.
All they need is a place to daze around, making a cave on this island and crawling inside would suffice as a ho.
Upon his return, Lin Yingying and the others were listening to Chu Feng recounting the events on the Snowy Plains.
Ji Bingji stood among the crowd, receiving special attention from the island’s disciples.
If it weren’t for this matter, everyone might not have known that Long Fei had brought a girl back.
Upon Long Fei’s appearance, Lin Yingying’s gaze imdiately sharpened with anger.
Long Fei could easily guess why and dispersed the disciples, inviting Lin Yingying to talk at ho.
After the disciples left, Ji Bingji ca closer, full of disappointnt, and complained to Long Fei, “It seems like everyone doesn’t welco here.”
Long Fei patted her shoulder, reassuring her, “You’ve just arrived, and everyone is not familiar with you yet. It’ll get better over ti.”
Ji Bingji nodded; deep down, she liked the atmosphere here, but she still carried herself with princess pride and didn’t know how to interact with others.
In the bamboo forest’s courtyard, only Lin Yingying and Long Fei were present.
Once inside, she couldn’t help venting her frustration, saying, “Oh, you’ve completely let yourself run wild now! First, Ji Wanrong cos with a big belly, and now you’ve brought back a mysterious Snow Country Princess. Are you trying to turn this island into your palace?”
Long Fei coughed lightly and patted her to sit, saying, “Calm down, calm down, be careful of affecting the fetus.”
Lin Yingying lanted, “Stop it already, what fetus are you talking about! Pregnant for so long without any signs, what is this thing exactly?”
Looking like a restless expecting mother, she reached out and pinched Long Fei in frustration.
Long Fei held her hand, saying, “Good things take ti. Our son must be extraordinary, so he stays in your belly longer. Rest assured, when the ti is right, he’ll surely co out obediently.”
“I don’t believe you!”
Lin Yingying shot him a glance, calming herself, as she only acts this freely when alone with Long Fei.
Usually, outside, she carries the composed deanor of a Sect Leader’s wife, and it sotis leaves her feeling exhausted.
Long Fei brewed tea for her, explaining, “I’ve told you about Ji Wanrong’s matter. The fortunes of Great Xia Country rest on this child, and I have no choice. Regarding Ji Bingji, didn’t Chu Feng tell you? She’s just a Snow Country Princess, and because she killed the Crown Prince, she has nowhere to go, so I brought her south to stay with us temporarily.”
Lin Yingying sipped tea, staring at him, “Chu Feng did tell ! He said she is deeply in love with you and insisted on coming with you.”
Long Fei almost coughed up blood, no wonder Lin Yingying was so angry; it was Chu Feng’s nonsense stirring trouble.
He raised his hand and swore, “Absolutely nothing of the sort, I only t this princess once. Apparently, her past life has so connection with Little Xuan, so I entrusted her with his care, definitely nothing else.”
Lin Yingying scrutinized him, and seeing his sincere deanor, she exhaled and let him off, “Forget it, why are you explaining to ? A dignified Great Sect Leader doesn’t need to be so humble with his wife!”
Long Fei eased her emotions, feeling relieved, and held her hand, continuing to comfort, “Even if I were the Jade Emperor, you’d still be my boss.”
Lin Yingying chuckled, pressing her red lips together, “At least you have so conscience. Since you’re being this way, I’ll be generous too. I’ve already thought about it; tomorrow you should pack and go to the Immortal King Star! Little Ya is there all alone, and sothing might happen.”
Long Fei glanced at her sideways, hesitant to respond, fearing being set up by Lin Yingying.
Lin Yingying looked at him, “What are you looking at! I’m speaking sincerely. Little Ya is different from other won; she and I share the sa blood. I’ve long regarded her as my own sister. Go help her, I won’t be upset.”
“Yes, yes, wife, you’re the most generous one!”
Long Fei laughed and massaged her legs, acting ekly in front of Lin Yingying.
Having done many things in secret, acting humbly is crucial for benefits.
This isn’t fear of the wife; it’s strategy.
Insist on opposing the wife, and the household will certainly be in chaos.
Why go through the trouble yourself!
After soothing Lin Yingying, Long Fei left and went to Ji Wanyu’s courtyard to find them.
Ji Wanrong and Ji Wanyu had just returned, now with larger bellies, finding everything tiring.
Whenever there’s resting ti, Ji Wanrong’s too lazy to move.
Ji Wanyu handed her a peeled fruit, smiling with squinted eyes, “Do you think brother-in-law is currently being punished at his first wife’s place?”
Ji Wanrong chuckled, “He likely is. Long Fei is very capable, yet acts timid in front of his wife, lacking any grandeur of a sect master.”
Ji Wanrong sat across from her, grabbing an apple and taking a bite, “Sister, I’m just saying. You’re already carrying his child, why keep such distance from him? I say, make him propose tomorrow; we can’t remain unmarried with a child!”
Ji Wanrong caressed her belly, “He has his difficulties, and I won’t pressure him. Besides, this child will inherit the Dragon’s Vein of Great Xia Country when born and will likely carry the Ji surna, which isn’t unfair to him.”
Ji Wanyu rubbed her head, “What if it’s a girl?”
Ji Wanrong laughed, “So what if it’s a girl? As long as the Nine Cauldrons acknowledge her, a girl can also rule the world.”
Ji Wanyu sighed, “It’s just unfortunate to be born into royalty, having no freedom to choose one’s path in life from the start. Even becoming an emperor, so what, it’s no better than enjoying life here.”
While she lanted, the maid Ji Wanrong brought along ca in to report that Long Fei had arrived and asked if they should et him.
The two quickly stood up, tidying their clothes, and sent the maid to welco Long Fei in.
Ji Wanyu curled her lips, advising her sister, “We were just talking about him, and he cos over himself. Later, I’ll properly discuss your matters with him, and you mustn’t side with him!”
Ji Wanrong smiled, leading her out to personally greet Long Fei.
