Chapter 461: Big Brother is Seventh Sister’s Husband

Three or four days had passed since arriving at the Seventh Princess’s manor in the Demon Race World.

Lin Xun was arranged to live directly next door to She Qiqi.

As for Que Yu.

Lin Xun originally thought he would head straight to the Crown Prince’s manor.

But to his surprise, Que Yu actually stayed at the Seventh Princess’s manor.

Lin Xun didn’t know what She Qiqi and Que Yu had discussed after he left that day.

Regardless, She Qiqi and Que Yu must have made some kind of deal that day.

Lin Xun would be leaving in three months.

Yet She Qiqi still hadn’t come looking for him.

This left Lin Xun somewhat perplexed.

In Lin Xun’s view, She Qiqi would at least use him to eliminate certain powerful enemies.

On the fifth day of Lin Xun’s stay at the Seventh Princess’s manor.

She Qiqi finally came to the courtyard to find Lin Xun.

“Actually, I’m quite curious—what kind of deal did you strike with that fool Que Yu?”

Looking at the smiling She Qiqi, Lin Xun asked.

“What kind of deal could there be?”

She Qiqi sat down beside Lin Xun with a smile.

“I just chatted with her about some girl talk.”

“Girl talk?” Lin Xun was clearly unconvinced.

“That’s right, girl talk.”

“Lin Xun, you are indeed very capable, but you know nothing about topics between girls.”

You probably don’t know what she’s thinking in her heart, do you?”

“What else could she be thinking?”

Lin Xun shook his head.

“Que Yu doesn’t want to marry another Crown Prince, but she doesn’t dare defy her father’s will.

I guess the deal she wanted to make with you was to avoid marrying the Crown Prince of your Ten Thousand Demon Country.

But the price you asked for probably wasn’t low.

Even so, she still agreed.”

She Qiqi shook her head: “You guessed half right. As for the other, most important half, you probably won’t be able to figure it out no matter what.”

“Actually, I really want to tell you.”

“But since it involves a girl’s feelings and privacy, it’s not appropriate for me to say more.”

“Then there’s no need to say more.”

Lin Xun took a sip of tea.

“Speak, why did you come to me this time? Which enemy do you want me to eliminate for you?”

“Really…”

She Qiqi gave Lin Xun a somewhat resentful look.

“Am I only capable of fighting and killing in your eyes?”

Lin Xun said bluntly: “Besides fighting and killing, there are also schemes and machinations.”

“Fine then. This time, I’ve come to take you to the palace to meet someone. No fighting, no schemes. As for whether you believe me or not, that’s up to you.”

“Meet someone?”

“You have the people most important to you in your life, and I naturally have people I cherish as well. I want to take you to meet them.”

She Qiqi took a set of clothes out of her Storage Pouch.

“Change into these clothes, and we’ll set off.”

Lin Xun looked at the clothes, then at She Qiqi.

Finally, Lin Xun took the clothes and went inside.

Half an hour later, Lin Xun and She Qiqi arrived at the Ten Thousand Demon Country’s imperial palace.

The Ten Thousand Demon Country’s palace wasn’t much different from the palaces of ordinary mortal kingdoms.

It was nothing more than magnificent halls and various exquisite buildings.

It was just that the architectural style was different from the mortal kingdoms in the Myriad Laws World.

If one had to say what the palace in the Demon Race World had that the Myriad Laws World didn’t…

That thing would be the incredibly thick Demonic Qi.

But to be fair.

In a certain sense.

The Ten Thousand Demon Country’s palace was practically paradise.

Inside the palace, one could see all kinds of beast-eared girls.

While some members of the Yao Race took human form, most of the palace maids maintained a half-human, half-demon state.

The ears on their heads and the tails behind them, combined with the rather revealing clothing of the Demon Race World, were simply a feast for the eyes.

Fox demons, cat demons, snake demons… the human forms of various monsters each possessed a different kind of beauty.

Noticing Lin Xun’s gaze on the maids, the corners of She Qiqi’s mouth curled up slightly.

“So, you like this sort of thing?”

She Qiqi looked at Lin Xun playfully, as if she had discovered his secret weakness.

“If you like it, I can transform for you every day.”

Lin Xun shook his head.

“I do prefer this look, but as for you, forget it.”

“Tch, men and their duplicity…”

Watching Lin Xun’s back as he walked forward, She Qiqi’s eyes curved slightly.

Eventually, Lin Xun followed She Qiqi to a courtyard in the inner palace.

Compared to the other palaces, this courtyard appeared much more simple and plain.

The flowers in the courtyard weren’t any precious spiritual flowers, but plain blossoms commonly seen in the mortal world.

These plain flowers were easier to keep alive.

Moreover, this simplicity gave off an extremely comfortable feeling.

It made one instinctively think that the owner of this courtyard must be very approachable.

“Seventh Sister…”

Just as Lin Xun was sizing up the courtyard and wondering who its owner might be, a young girl’s tender voice came from nearby.

The next moment, Lin Xun saw a small figure pounce into She Qiqi’s arms.

The little girl looked to be only twelve or thirteen years old, and based on her Bloodline talent, she was also of the Heavenly Frost White Snake Clan.

“Good girl, Xiao Jiu…”

She Qiqi gently stroked the little girl’s hair.

“Xiao Jiu, have you been listening to your sister?”

“Mhm, mhm…”

The little girl nodded happily.

“Xiao Jiu has always been very obedient.”

“That’s good…”

She Qiqi held the little girl in her arms.

Seeing the tenderness in She Qiqi’s eyes, Lin Xun for a moment didn’t know if it was real or fake.

Could this woman’s eyes actually hold such tenderness?

“Seventh Sister, who is this big brother?”

In She Qiqi’s arms, Yaya looked at Lin Xun standing to the side, her large eyes blinking gently, looking extremely cute.

In the little girl’s memory, this was the first time Seventh Sister had brought a man back.

“This person, he is Seventh Sister’s future husband.”

She Qiqi gently pinched the little girl’s cheek and said with a smiling, tender voice.

“Seventh Sister’s husband? Seventh Sister, do you finally have someone you like? I heard Sixth Sister say that Seventh Sister would never get married in her life.”

Hearing this news, the little girl also seemed very excited.

“Who said Seventh Sister wouldn’t get married? It’s just that I hadn’t met the right person yet. Look, Xiao Jiu, isn’t your sister meeting someone she likes now?”

“Mhm, mhm…”

The little girl nodded vigorously and then opened her small arms toward Lin Xun.

“Big brother, I want big brother to hold me…”

Facing the little girl’s pure, large eyes, Lin Xun really wanted to explain something, but it was simply impossible to refuse now.

Finally, Lin Xun gently took the little girl into his arms.

Looking into the little girl’s pure eyes.

For some reason, Lin Xun felt a sense of guilt in his heart.

He felt that deceiving this little girl was wrong.

Lin Xun turned his head and saw She Qiqi’s tender smile.

It was as if at this moment, She Qiqi had truly become a gentle older sister.

“Let’s go, I’ll take you to see my sixth sister.”

She Qiqi led Lin Xun further into the courtyard.

And during this short walk, the little girl asked Lin Xun no fewer than four or five questions.

For instance, what Lin Xun liked to eat, why he liked her sister, and why he was with her sister.

To these questions, Lin Xun spoke a lot of serious-sounding nonsense.

But to Lin Xun’s serious nonsense, the little girl clearly believed every word, her large eyes shining as she listened intently.

The more he spoke, the more Lin Xun felt a strange sense of sin in his heart.

If one day this little girl found out that he and her sister didn’t actually have anything between them, and were even enemies…

Wouldn’t she be very sad?

“Alright, alright, Xiao Jiu can’t ask any more questions.”

Seeing Lin Xun’s awkwardness, She Qiqi stopped while things were still going well and took her ninth sister back into her arms.

“I still want big brother to hold me…”

In She Qiqi’s arms, the little girl pouted her small mouth.

Although it was very comfortable in Seventh Sister’s arms.

Being held by a man for the first time gave the little girl a strange sense of novelty.

“That won’t do. This big brother belongs to your sister, Xiao Jiu can’t steal him from me.”

“Then Xiao Jiu will also marry big brother along with Seventh Sister…”

The little girl’s mind whirred, and she finally came up with this answer that surprised even Lin Xun.

“Sure, how about you wait until you grow up to pull big brother over to your side, okay?”

“Mhm, mhm~”

Xiao Jiu nodded cheerfully.

“And Sixth Sister too… if we all marry big brother, then we can always be together.”

“If Sixth Sister marries big brother…”

She Qiqi thought for a moment.

“It’s not that it’s impossible, but I’m afraid Brother Lin wouldn’t have the fortune to enjoy it.”

While the two sisters were chatting and laughing and Lin Xun stood by speechlessly.

The three of them arrived at a woman’s bedroom.

Looking ahead, Lin Xun saw a gentle woman in a white dress holding a pair of scissors, gently pruning tree branches.

This woman was very beautiful, but not strikingly so.

However, the more you looked at her, the more beautiful she seemed, giving off a feeling as gentle as water.

It felt like if you married her, she could take care of everything.

She would never betray you and would stay with you through life and death, through thick and thin.

Until the seas ran dry and the rocks crumbled, she would never leave you.

She was just one person, but you felt she was the perfect type of wife.

“She is my sixth sister.”

She Qiqi sent a heart-lake transmission to Lin Xun.

“But don’t actually think about having multiple wives.

My sixth sister carries some kind of curse on her body.

In any case, anyone who has had a marriage contract with her either ended up paralyzed or died in an accident.

There was even one most ridiculous case where a man had just walked out of the city gates to come fetch my sixth sister and was struck dead by a meteorite…”

Hearing She Qiqi’s words, Lin Xun’s brow twitched… Was this the legendary husband-cursing Physique?

But this husband-cursing is a bit too exaggerated, isn’t it?

“Sister, I’m back…”

She Qiqi called out softly, catching the Sixth Princess’s attention.

Hearing her sister’s voice, the Sixth Princess turned around joyfully, but then she saw the man beside her sister and was stunned.

“Xiao Qi, this man is?”

“Sixth Sister, Sixth Sister…”

The Ninth Princess of the Ten Thousand Demon Country jumped down from the girl’s arms and ran to the Sixth Princess’s side.

“This big brother is Seventh Sister’s husband.”

“Husband?”

She Liu looked at her sister in shock, unable to believe what her ninth sister had said.

After a long while, the recovered She Liu looked at She Qiqi as if asking her younger sister if this was true.

“That’s right, Sixth Sister. Weren’t you always worried I wouldn’t be able to get married? This is my husband.

Let me introduce him; this is the Lin Xun I often tell you about.

Yes, the man from the Myriad Laws World I’ve always mentioned.”

She Qiqi walked to Lin Xun’s side and took his arm, looking extremely intimate.

“Lin Xun, this is my sixth sister. My sixth sister and ninth sister are the two most important people to me.

If anyone dares to harm my sixth sister or ninth sister, I will make sure they are ground to dust no matter what.”

“Qiqi…”

Hearing She Qiqi say such things so casually, She Liu gave a chiding look.

She Liu stepped forward and bowed to Lin Xun:

“Although Qiqi is usually a bit headstrong—well, although Qiqi is usually very assertive—she will definitely be a very good wife.

Please look after her in the future, Young Master Lin…”

Hearing the Sixth Princess entrust her sister to him, Lin Xun didn’t know how to respond for a moment.

“Please rest assured, Sixth Princess. Your sister is actually… actually very understanding…”

In the end, Lin Xun could only think of this one word.

She Liu straightened up and looked at Lin Xun with a smile.

Regarding the husband her sister had found, She Liu felt she didn’t need to worry at all.

Her sister’s judgment would certainly not be wrong.

Whether it was a human or a member of the Yao Race, whether they were from the Demon Race World or the Myriad Laws World.

As long as her sister liked him, then everything was fine.

She Liu brought Lin Xun and the others into the courtyard and served the pastries and tea she had made.

Looking at the happy appearance of the three sisters, Lin Xun was momentarily dazed.

He had never seen She Qiqi look so relaxed.

Half the afternoon passed, and She Qiqi and Lin Xun took their leave.

The two of them remained silent as they left the palace.

Just as they stepped into the manor, She Qiqi finally spoke her first sentence:

“Actually, I have one request: I hope you can take my sixth sister and ninth sister away from the Demon Race World.”
