The Ice Emperor's words left everyone with absolutely no way to retreat.
"Deciding both the winner and life or death?"
"I hope you can walk out tomorrow."
To be honest.
The Ice Emperor was the one most eager to compete with everyone on the same stage; aside from Liam, she was likely the most excited person present.
Just thinking about it made the Ice Emperor feel like she couldn't control herself.
Bibi Dong felt conflicted. Although she was the one who initiated the group, with so many sisters Cultivating together, it was hard for her to take the lead!
"What should I do?"
Bibi Dong thought for a moment, then looked at Hu Liena and said, "Nana, how about you go first?"
"What?"
Hu Liena hadn't fully recovered her senses yet, and hearing this made her face flush with shyness. Three or four people would be one thing, but with over a dozen people watching?
She was too embarrassed!
Hu Liena thought for a moment and looked at Auntie Ling Yuan, saying, "Auntie Ling Yuan, why don't you go first?"
Everyone looked at Auntie Ling Yuan together.
Auntie Ling Yuan looked conflicted and said, "I'm afraid that won't work!"
"Auntie has just achieved a Breakthrough to the Divine Rank, and my power is terrifyingly strong. If I go first, everyone will probably have to wait a long time."
Hearing this, everyone nodded. That's right! Everyone was just too embarrassed to start. Since there were so many people, if they let Auntie Ling Yuan start, it would probably be uncomfortable for quite a while.
"However."
Auntie Ling Yuan suddenly laughed, walked to Liam's side, and said, "I have an idea."
As she spoke, Auntie Ling Yuan took out a piece of cloth and blindfolded Liam, saying,
"Since it's the sisters' first time Cultivating a Martial Soul Fusion Skill together, why don't we play a game first?"
"Liam, start counting now. After you reach ten, start grabbing. Whoever you catch is who you get!"
"Whoa?"
"Is it this exciting?"
Liam's heart was completely filled with joy. He was already incredibly excited by this grand scene, and now there was even a game?
Liam could swear that absolutely no cadre could withstand this kind of test.
Seeing this scene, Bibi Dong and the others looked at Auntie Ling Yuan in surprise. As expected of you!
"Your Diary rewards are truly favored. How could we have not thought of this?"
"Ahem."
Liam cleared his throat and began to count: "One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight..."
The people in the room didn't have time to overthink it; hearing Liam count, they started running around.
"Nine, ten!"
Once Liam finished counting, he started grabbing around the room.
At first, everyone thought Liam would use his Spiritual Power to grab exactly who he wanted, but who would have thought! Liam wasn't using any perception at all, just blindly groping and bumping around.
"Hee hee."
Seeing this, everyone wasn't afraid anymore. They began to frolic and play around Liam in the room.
Ning Rongrong's playful Martial Soul surged, and she shouted, "Wait a moment! I suddenly think we can add another rule: after catching someone, you have to guess who it is."
"You have to guess correctly!"
Liam chuckled, "That's a bit difficult, but not too hard."
"That works!"
Hearing this, everyone decided in unison, "This is good."
"Then we'll add that rule. After catching someone, you must guess who it is for it to count. If you guess wrong, it doesn't count."
"Hmm, that's it."
Zhu Zhuqing pulled on Ning Rongrong and muttered helplessly, "Rongrong, why are you being so silly at a time like this?"
Ning Rongrong was confused.
Zhu Zhuqing sighed, "Do you think, given the size of our Martial Souls, Liam could possibly guess wrong?"
"It's over, that was rash."
"Run!"
As she spoke, Ning Rongrong pulled Zhu Zhuqing and ran away.
No sooner said than done.
Ning Rongrong ran a step ahead, but Zhu Zhuqing was a step late and was immediately grabbed by Liam and pulled into his arms.
Seeing this, everyone's faces lit up with smiles.
"Hmm?"
Liam felt the pressure from the other person's Martial Soul; there was no need for a manual check. "This is Zhuqing. I can only say Rongrong is really a big genius."
"Remove armor!"
"Initiate Martial Soul Fusion Skill Cultivation!"
Zhu Zhuqing's face turned bright red, and she closed her eyes tightly, not daring to look at anyone.
Ning Rongrong felt a bit guilty, gritted her teeth, and shouted, "Let go of that girl! If you have the guts, come for me!"
"What a display of sisterly love!"
Liam reached out, grabbed Ning Rongrong, and took her and Zhu Zhuqing up onto the spider web in mid-air. "You two can go together!"
Bibi Dong and the others exchanged glances and said, "Don't you dare bully our sisters."
"Everyone, let's go together."
"There is strength in numbers; the more firewood, the higher the flame."
"If we all work hard together, we can definitely speed up the Cultivation of the Martial Soul Fusion Skill, allowing for more rounds of Cultivation."
"One sip each, don't be greedy."
In the courtyard.
Liu Erlong, Huo Wu, Zhu Zhuyun, and the others had been sitting for a long time, but they couldn't wait for anyone to come out.
"Strange."
Huo Wu muttered, "So many people went in for so long; haven't they decided who will serve him tonight yet?"
Liu Erlong curled her lips and said, "Of course they are refusing to give way to each other."
"Auntie Ling Yuan just achieved a Breakthrough to become a god today. Even I am starting to feel tempted; how could they not be anxious?"
Shui Binger and her sisters nodded in unison. Tempted! They were truly, extremely tempted.
Liam was such a handsome and strong man. Being with him meant endless rewards. Crucially, he was also faithful and cared for them meticulously. Which woman wouldn't be tempted?
Xiao Wu looked at Zhu Zhuyun and asked, "Sister Zhuyun, when an emperor marries so many concubines, how do they arrange these things?"
Everyone looked at Zhu Zhuyun curiously upon hearing this. Zhu Zhuyun replied calmly, "They flip tablets."
Huo Wu thought for a moment and asked, "Right! Do you think we should prepare some tablets and send them over?"
"After all, there are so many of them and they aren't prepared. Wouldn't it be bad if they started fighting and caused conflict?"
Everyone fell into a dilemma.
Jiang Zhu whispered, "Is there a possibility that they won't come out at all?"
"Can't they just Cultivate together?"
Good heavens!
Hearing this, Liu Erlong and the others turned their heads to look, their eyes filled with disbelief.
"There are over a dozen people."
"Do you think Liam has eight kidneys?"
"Even eight kidneys wouldn't be enough. This would take at least twenty kidneys. How could he be that powerful?"
"However—" Liu Erlong thought for a moment and looked at the group, saying, "It's not entirely impossible. That bastard Liam is indeed very powerful."
"Eh?"
"Aunt Erlong, how do you know?"
Huo Wu and the others instantly perked up.
Liu Erlong's face flushed red. She gritted her teeth and replied, "I... we've all been living together for so many days. Don't you have any idea how he tosses us around every day?"
Liu Erlong really did know. Last time she got drunk and was taken back by Auntie Ling Yuan, she was even "eaten" in the middle of the night.
It's just that.
Thinking about it now, Liu Erlong felt it was a pity. If she had known today would come, she should have turned the tables and taken him down, eaten him back!
