Chapter 4771
Ding!
The Tenth Palace Lord raised his arm to block as Kai closed in, producing a sharp, metallic clang.
His arm was instantly cut down to bare white bone!
At that moment, a powerful force erupted, sending Kai flying a hundred feet backward.
“You think my Tenth Palace has no one to protect it?”
Qian Lao’s expression darkened as he stepped forward.
Kai frowned. This was troublesome—Qian Lao’s mastery of the Dao of Heaven made him a formidable opponent.
In the blink of an eye, Qian Lao’s figure flickered and vanished, reappearing right in front of Kai.
His speed was terrifying!
Kai barely had time to react before a figure suddenly blocked Qian Lao’s advance.
Bang!
A deafening impact shook the air as Qian Lao was forced back.
“Lord of the Northern Territory, do you really want to interfere in this matter?”
Qian Lao’s voice was ice-cold.
“This isn’t interference—it’s my own business,” the Lord of the Northern Territory replied with a faint smile.
“You should know that the Temple’s influence spreads across the universe, even reaching the celestial realms,” Qian Lao warned.
“If you ascend, you will be nothing more than an ant before the Temple. Crushing you will be as easy as stepping on a bug.”
His voice carried an unmistakable threat.
“I don’t know if I’ll ascend or not,” the Lord of the Northern Territory replied nonchalantly. “But even if I do, I have my uncle to protect me. Why should I be afraid?”
As he spoke, he glanced at Kai with a smirk.
Kai was momentarily speechless.
What did this have to do with him? He had only called the Lord of the Northern Territory “uncle” once!
All he did was hug Hua Yueying to keep her safe—how did that suddenly turn into them being a couple?
Hua Yueying’s face turned red.
“Mr. Chen and I are merely cooperating,” she quickly clarified. “He provides resources, and I put in the effort. That’s all.”
Qian Lao snorted.
“If it’s just a transactional relationship, then don’t get involved in this mess. The Temple isn’t something you can afford to offend.”
“I’ll take you away right now. Whatever resources you need, just name them—I’ll provide them.”
Just as the Lord of the North Territory was about to pull Hua Yueying away, Kai was left speechless.
“Isn’t this a bit too forceful?”
Hua Yueying was equally stunned. She quickly broke free and stammered, “I… I…”
Kai stepped forward.
“Senior, although Miss Hua and I only have an employment relationship, I did hold her just now. That counts as physical intimacy, doesn’t it?”
“If Miss Hua doesn’t mind and is willing to follow me, I certainly wouldn’t refuse…”
He couldn’t just let the Lord of the North Territory take her away like that. Besides, he already had many women—one more wouldn’t make a difference.
At that moment, Lin Kefan frowned and walked over with an annoyed expression.
“Brother-in-law, you can say that, but what about my sister?”
“You were personally matched by Daoist Wuji, and both parties agreed. Are you really going to be so fickle?”
Kai quickly responded, “Fourth Uncle, I already have several women by my side, and many are even my wives. Ting’er knows all about it—she won’t mind!”
Lin Kefan’s expression shifted as he stared at Kai, eyes filled with envy.
“You have multiple women?”
The Lord of the North Territory chimed in, nodding approvingly.
“It’s perfectly normal for a man to have multiple wives and concubines. With your status and background, it’s not surprising. How many women do you have now, including my daughter?”
Kai hesitated for a moment, then started counting on his fingers.
Lin Kefan and the others stared at him in shock.
“Brother-in-law… what are you doing? Just how many women do you have?” Lin Kefan asked in disbelief.
Kai scratched his head awkwardly.
“More than ten? More than twenty? I’ve lost count…”
Some of his past relationships had been fleeting—one-night encounters with no lasting connection.
For instance, Ji Meiyan and Ji Meiling of the Ji family had shared his bed, but only because they wanted his bloodline power.
Kai wasn’t even sure if those women truly counted as his…
