Hearing Ni Junlin's words, the people around the Peach Blossom Sect were utterly confused. What was going on?
"Does that Seven-Colored Devouring Python mean that Wei Chen is in the Upper Realm Army?"
"It seems to imply that."
"This is bizarre; what on earth is happening?"
"Who knows? It's all so unclear. Is the Seven-Colored Devouring Python in Hoo-Bah-Dow?"
"This is bad. Maybe the leader of the Peach Blossom Sect, Wei Chen, has been captured by the Upper Realm Army?"
"Come on, I don't mean to belittle Wei Chen, but him? Could he really be taken by the Upper Realm Army?"
"Are you joking? The Upper Realm Army is so powerful; they could annihilate the entire Soul World in an instant. Do they even need to capture anyone?"
"Wait, think about it. What if Wei Chen happens to have something that the Upper Realm Army needs? He rose to power so quickly; it’s impossible without some formidable treasures. Could it be that the Upper Realm Army is here to demand something from him?"
"Your analysis has some merit. Let's keep watching."
…
In the sky, the Seven-Colored Devouring Python continued to roar, "Wei Chen! Demon Lotus Emperor! You two, why are you hiding like turtles? I know you're both inside; stop pretending and come out!"
"If you’re men, then show yourselves! Are you afraid of a mere woman like me?"
The Seven-Colored Devouring Python kept shouting insults, while chaos erupted among the armies of the Demon Domain, Nine Immortal Realm, and Hua Xia World. The army whispered among themselves:
"What’s going on? That Seven-Colored Devouring Python is incredibly bold!"
"Hehe, no wonder Great God Wei Chen ordered us not to act. It seems they have a long-standing relationship! I boldly speculate that the Seven-Colored Devouring Python is actually Great God Wei Chen's old flame. Now that Great God Wei Chen has returned to his homeland, who knows how many romantic debts he carries? Didn’t you see? Great God Wei Chen has already brought three women onto the Shenzhou."
"True, Great God Wei Chen is mighty and has many women, so it’s quite normal. With so many women, it’s easy for things to get heated in the back yard. And look, it seems like it’s already on fire!"
"I guess Great God Wei Chen is still comforting those three women. A fire in the back yard can be troublesome."
"Keep your voice down; if Great God Wei Chen hears you, you won’t be able to escape the consequences."
"What are we afraid of? We, from the Demon Realm, are open and upright, willing to take responsibility for our words. This isn’t disrespect towards Great God Wei Chen; it’s just a casual exchange. You people from the Nine Immortal Realm are so hypocritical, only daring to think but not speak. How low-class!"
"Exactly! We from the Demon Realm don’t need to care about such things. Respect comes from the heart, not just words. Although we’re joking about Great God Wei Chen, this kind of joke won’t bother him."
"Great God Wei Chen's mind is beyond what you ordinary people from the Nine Immortal Realm can imagine."
"Alright, alright, you’re bold; keep going. We from the Nine Immortal Realm will just listen."
"Haha, then I’ll continue my analysis. Great God Wei Chen must be worried that his women are arguing among themselves, which is why he comforts each one and brings them along. Even though he’s a god, in matters of love, everyone is equal and human. Great God Wei Chen can’t escape this; if his women don’t get along, he’s helpless. That Seven-Colored Devouring Python must be one of Great God Wei Chen's lovers—haha, the fire in Great God Wei Chen's back yard is quite fierce!"
Such conversations were everywhere among the Demon Realm Army. Their respect for Wei Chen stemmed from admiration for strength and reverence for divinity, as well as genuine respect for Young Mistress. However, the rough nature of the Demon Realm people meant they weren’t shy about discussing romantic affairs; they dared to gossip even about Wei Chen's private matters.
But regardless of their teasing and discussions, they held no ill intentions.
The straightforward men of the Demon Realm were clear-cut in their dealings with people and matters—something that couldn’t be compared to those from the Nine Immortal Realm.
In the eyes of those from the Nine Immortal Realm, such behavior towards Wei Chen was a great disrespect. If Wei Chen heard these words, wouldn’t that spell disaster? With someone of Wei Chen's top-tier strength hearing such remarks would be easy; it was impossible for him not to hear them! Even if it wasn’t Wei Chen himself but rather the Jade Emperor enjoying passion with Queen Mother in Jade Emperor Palace, if someone spoke behind his back and mentioned his name within earshot, he would sense it. For someone as formidable as Wei Chen, those words from the Demon Realm Army would surely reach him…
In the realm of fantasy, Wei Chen was furious. The scene of the Demon Realm Army's heads rolling did not unfold as expected; instead, the people from the Nine Immortal Realm were astonished to see the Demon Realm Army speaking confidently, while Great God Wei Chen showed no intention of intervening.
This left the Nine Immortal Realm's people feeling at a loss. How could this be? It was completely illogical!
It also gave the people from the Nine Immortal Realm and Hua Xia World a sense that Great God Wei Chen was indeed broad-minded, and such a Deity was even more worthy of respect.
Unexpectedly, this brought about admiration for Wei Chen from the Nine Immortal Realm and Hua Xia World.
However, they couldn't help but wonder why he would allow that Seven-Colored Devouring Python to continue its provocations and insults. Great God Wei Chen, why not step out and take a look? Your woman is calling for you. No matter how much you worry about fires in your backyard, you can't just hide away forever, can you?
Everyone was eagerly anticipating Wei Chen's appearance. The Army from the Three Major Spatial Dimensions awaited him, as did the people from Soul World, hoping to see him confront the Seven-Colored Devouring Python.
It must be said that in this regard, the men's thoughts were rather unscrupulous; they were eager to watch the drama unfold. Even the Demon Realm Army shared this sentiment. Of course, it wasn't disrespect towards Wei Chen but rather an optimistic outlook on life.
Wei Chen understood this point well, so he didn't care about what those fierce men from the Demon Realm Army thought.
On the deck of the Divine Vessel, Wei Chen was with Yan Qiqi, Zhao Yu, and the Elegant Spirit sisters.
The Dark Mage, Demon Lotus Emperor, Ji Dingxuan, Emperor Dayu, and other high-ranking individuals were all present as well.
Everyone looked at Wei Chen with eyes full of mockery.
As experienced individuals, they could easily tell that the Seven-Colored Devouring Python was indeed Wei Chen's woman—there was nothing good about it.
They wanted to see how Wei Chen would resolve this situation.
It seemed that Wei Chen had successfully dealt with three women from Soul World without any fires in his backyard; however, dealing with the Seven-Colored Devouring Python appeared to be quite challenging. With such severe provocations and insults directed at him, it was clear that he had a love-hate relationship with her. Would he be able to maintain harmony with the several women aboard the Warship?
A series of teasing glances were directed at Wei Chen, causing his cheeks to feel a bit warm.
"Why are you all staring at me instead of minding your own business?" Wei Chen scanned the room and asked helplessly.
"Heh heh, we’re not busy; there’s nothing for us to do."
"Exactly, it’s nice to watch a good show when there’s nothing else going on. Kid, hurry up and go down there. Don’t make that girl angry; if she comes up here, we won’t help you."
"Right, the Seven-Colored Devouring Python is still quite powerful."
Several shameless old fellows chimed in, full of mischief.
Wei Chen felt utterly exasperated; this was just too much.
"If you want to watch the show, find a proper spot and don’t block my view!" Wei Chen said, slightly annoyed.
"Alright, alright, we’ll listen to you."
The shameless old fellows quickly dispersed to other warships, leaving Wei Chen with enough personal space.
"Brother Wei Chen, that Seven-Colored Devouring Python looks quite beautiful; it just has a bit of a temper. You should go down and talk to it; otherwise, things might get really bad," Yan Qiqi advised as soon as the others left.
Qingling and Zhao Yu knew better than to speak up at this moment and kept quiet.
Elegant had a slightly higher "status," after all, as she was carrying Wei Chen's child. She walked over to him and softly said, "Wei Chen, go take a look. That must be Ni Junlin, right? Haven't you two been together for quite some time now?"
Wei Chen could only smile bitterly without saying a word.
"Wei Chen, I'm a bit curious. Why didn't you go to the Peach Blossom Sect earlier and clarify things with Weirou, Snow Cicada, and Mu Qingyan? They must be quite anxious without your presence!" Elegant said.
This was also the confusion of Qingling and Zhao Yu. Wei Chen did not inform the people of the Peach Blossom Sect about the real situation but instead allowed the Army to pressure them, causing unrest within the sect. Was there some hidden reason behind this?
Yan Qiqi looked at the agitated Seven-Colored Devouring Python and said gently, "Brother, don't torment it anymore. The Seven-Colored Devouring Python is the only one left in our Spatial Dimension System. As the Demon King, I can't bear to watch. If you don't step in soon, I will have to intervene for the prosperity of our kind."
Wei Chen replied helplessly, "Please be patient. My reasons for not intervening are calculated."
"What calculations?" Yan Qiqi asked.
Elegant, Qingling, and Zhao Yu perked up their ears to listen. They wanted to ask the same question but didn't dare to. Only Yan Qiqi had the closest relationship with Wei Chen and was bold enough to inquire without reservations.
Though the four women had spent little time together, the difference in their "status" was already subtly apparent. Yan Qiqi's position as the leader was unshakeable; her formidable strength and her role in helping Wei Chen refine the Heart of the World for the Spatial Plane made her unmatched. Next was Elegant, who was pregnant with Wei Chen's child—perhaps his only child—granting her a unique respect that others did not possess. Following her was Zhao Yu, Wei Chen's first woman, naturally holding a special place in his heart. Lastly came Qingling.
Qingling had no qualms about being last; she was content as long as she could follow Wei Chen.
Wei Chen's reluctance to appear or explain himself regarding Peach Blossom Island stemmed from his own considerations.
After pondering for a moment, Wei Chen explained, "I have deep feelings for the Peach Blossom Sect since I helped establish it. No matter what happens in the future, the Peach Blossom Sect will always hold a special place in my heart—that cannot change. I want it to thrive. The Army's pressure is a test for the sect. I'm not assessing their abilities; under such circumstances, no one has any real power. What I am considering is their loyalty—who among them cannot withstand the pressure and wishes to flee from the Peach Blossom Sect? I am well aware of this; my Mental Strength has been lingering within the sect, and no detail can escape its detection."
Wei Chen gazed deeply at Yan Qiqi and the others before stating firmly, "What I desire is a Peach Blossom Sect composed of truly steadfast individuals, not just a place where any ruffian can join!"
This was the true reason behind Wei Chen's prolonged absence!
