Xuanyuan Mengting’s face turned both green and white as she saw so many girls competing with her for a boyfriend.
She was very angry, yet she did not want to give up.
Why should she?
She had known Jiang Tang beforehand, and this man had promised her before that even if he were to get a girlfriend, she, Xuanyuan Mengting, would be the main one.
Jiang Tang, seeing so many girls of outstanding beauty and top-notch resources, realized that large families indeed harbored such beautiful women; today he had seen it for himself.
Jiang Tang did not believe that so many unfamiliar women would want to be his girlfriend upon their first meeting.
Even if their families had an intention, it would be a matter of mutual benefits.
He couldn’t handle so many women; each one was too formidable.
“Beautiful ladies, it is my pleasure to meet you all today.
It’s like a prearranged gathering with so many of you coming to see me all at once.
As I am only one person, I cannot visit the eight of your families at the same time.
As previously discussed, I can only visit one at a time,” Jiang Tang said.
Having been in the Cultivation World for quite a while, Jiang Tang still wasn’t used to referring to women as Daoist friends; he found ‘beautiful ladies’ rolled off the tongue more naturally.
“Come to my family first,” an eager voice called out.
Upon hearing Jiang Tang’s words, all eight girls spoke at once in a rather harmonious chorus.
“Well…
why don’t you draw lots?
We shouldn’t argue over me,” Jiang Tang suggested.
“Drawing lots it is,” agreed the eight girls, who then proceeded to draw straws of varying lengths at Jiang Tang’s suggestion.
As cultivators, they all found it difficult not to cheat when drawing lots, but of course, Jiang Tang had prepared a protective barrier to prevent any trickery, which wasn’t hard with his high level of cultivation.
As the girls drew lots, Patriarch Xuanyuan sent a private message to Jiang Tang, “Jiang Tang, it seems you are quite busy.
We’ve already agreed on terms you wouldn’t change, right?
And we’ve named you an Elder of our family, even if it is in name only.
I hope you will keep your promise.”
“Don’t worry, Patriarch,” Jiang Tang reassured via a private message.
After hearing Jiang Tang’s response, Patriarch Xuanyuan’s stern expression softened into a smile, instilling confidence and easing the anxiety of the other Elders present in the living room.
Xuanyuan Mengting watched the girls drawing their lots with annoyance, and she privately messaged Jiang Tang, “You’re not really going to take them as your girlfriends, are you?
Hmph.”
“My dear wife, haven’t I mentioned it before?
Even if it comes to that, they’ll need your consent, and you are the main one,” replied Jiang Tang with an evilly charming smile that seemed like he was asking for a beating.
He was only half serious since he couldn’t believe he was that charming.
It was just a rosy temptation.
Beauties pointing out the traps, yet daring to jump requires great courage.
Xuanyuan Mengting wanted to be angry with Jiang Tang, but she couldn’t bear to leave.
His words had given her some confidence.
She pouted her lips and watched the girls draw their lots.
The results of the draw were in: the Medicine Sect would be visited first, followed by the Sword Sect last.
Hua Xian’er, who drew the lot to visit first, was secretly smiling.
Among all the girls, her cultivation might not have been the highest, but she knew alchemy, which could be her way to a connection with Jiang Tang.
Su Feifei , who drew the last place, began to feel a bit disheartened.
She glanced at the smug Hua Xian’er, then at Xuanyuan Mengting’s haughty face.
But then she thought, her own family was not weak.
Didn’t they have an elder brother who was Jiang Tang’s sworn brother?
With such a connection, her family surely wouldn’t lack Supreme Elixirs.
It might have been superfluous for her to ask Jiang Tang to visit, recalling the words the Family Head had said to her still echoing in her ears.
“For a proud family like the Xuanyuan, to use a woman to attract Jiang Tang, it shows how exceptional this man must be.
Our family’s girls are no lesser than theirs.
We can’t miss out on such an outstanding man.
It’s your task to invite him; this is also an opportunity for you to see for yourself if Jiang Tang is the right match,” the Family Head had told her.
The first time Su Feifei saw Jiang Tang, she thought he was just as handsome as her elder brother.
At a glance, he looked like a pretty boy, yet it was his inscrutable cultivation level and his ability to create Supreme Elixirs that were rare in this world.
Su Feifei secretly observed Jiang Tang, noting that he seemed quite pleased with Xuanyuan Mengting.
This stirred a competitive spirit within her.
She didn’t think she was any less than Xuanyuan Mengting.
Who would win over this ideal man depended on her own abilities.
Among the eight girls, many shared Su Feifei’s thoughts, believing they were no less than Xuanyuan Mengting.
Each felt she was the best and that Jiang Tang would eventually see her worth.
Tang Yanhong was outwardly cold but inwardly passionate, scrutinizing the woman with a cold gaze.
Every one of them wore different expressions, yet they all harbored the same thoughts.
She let out a cold and arrogant chuckle, “Well then, let’s have a competition!
If they’re too stubborn, I won’t mind sprinkling a little poison on them.”
Dugu Yan’er, with a giggling face, wasn’t thinking about dealing with the eight women who were just as beautiful as her; she had other plans in mind.
She was determined to have Jiang Tang.
Those women couldn’t snatch him away from her.
As long as she released her “love cup,” even a fickle man would turn into a devoted lover.
Yuan Baozhu felt she also had a great chance.
If Jiang Tang wouldn’t obey, she would just nag him with her incessant chatter.
Even men are afraid of nagging women, right?
“Eight beauties, could you please wait until I finish talking with Patriarch Xuanyuan, and then I’ll visit each of your families one by one?”
Jiang Tang handled the situation with nonchalant grace in the face of so many beautiful women.
Although he appeared cool and composed on the outside, inside he was bashful.
Being stared at by so many beauties, he too would feel shy.
“Jiang Tang, you won’t make us leave, will you?
The host hasn’t asked us to go, so how could you think like that?
I’m not hindering your conversation here, and I’m not leaving today.
Wherever you go, I will follow!”
Zhang Nianjiao smiled coyly, the other women shared her sentiment.
They couldn’t let Jiang Tang stay at the Xuanyuan Family forever.
If he spent the wedding night with Xuanyuan Mengting, what would they have anything to do with him then?
“Right, Jiang Tang, I drew the first lot, so you should leave with me today,” Hua Xian’er asserted her right as first, casting a glance at Xuanyuan Mengting, aware that everyone had seen through Xuanyuan Mengting’s scheme.
“Right, Jiang Tang, wherever you go, I’ll go!
Which family are you visiting?
I’ll follow too,” Yun Duoduo wasn’t to be outdone.
“Alright!
Since you all insist, I’ll say a few more words to Patriarch Xuanyuan, and then visit with you.”
Jiang Tang could only accept the invitation with resignation, his heart fluttering a bit.
Who wouldn’t feel exhilarated to have such passionate women of different families around him?
After today, he’d probably become the most famous person in the Cultivation World, wouldn’t he?
Handsome and dashing, gallant and charismatic, blooming like a peach tree with countless blossoms.
“Jiang Tang, you can’t leave with them.
If you do, I’ll follow too,” Xuanyuan Mengting was unwilling to let someone else steal her boyfriend.
“Hehehe, Elder Jiang Tang, it seems you’re quite busy.
Let’s agree to meet again another time!
I believe you’ll keep your promises.
If you’re to leave, please support our family first.”
Patriarch Xuanyuan was sly and cunning, and as long as it benefited him, it didn’t matter to him if Jiang Tang took all the girls from the various families, his own would still be first.
As long as they provided resources, the happiness of one woman was of course secondary to profit.
He also noticed that Xuanyuan Mengting, despite facing so many women, didn’t give up on Jiang Tang.
As a man, he felt quite envious of Jiang Tang’s luck in attracting such admirers.
“Alright, here are the resources for your family.
But even though I’m an elder, I can’t just give without receiving anything in return, can I?”
Jiang Tang placed a storage bag on the table in front of him.
“Of course not, we’ll use spirit stones to purchase them.”
Patriarch Xuanyuan also placed a storage bag on the table, and the two exchanged bags, completing the transaction.
He glanced into Jiang Tang’s storage bag and was pleasantly surprised to find many bottles of pills.
Who got the better deal?
Of course, it was their family.
It was only natural to spend spirit stones on pills, and this was the cheapest price.
Getting so much of the Supreme Elixir was a huge win.
Jiang Tang also inspected the other storage bag and saw many spirit stones inside.
Perhaps he would have found it a lot in the past, but after making so much from pill auctions these past few days, he didn’t care for such wealth.
His soaring net worth only boosted his confidence.
“Patriarch Xuanyuan, this junior takes his leave.
If there’s anything else, please contact me.
As you can see, I’m occupied daily.
I need to finish visiting their families before I can spare some time for cultivation and alchemy.”
Jiang Tang knew he was even busier than the Green Ox in his space.
Perhaps this was the price of success.
