231: Chapter 216_2 231: Chapter 216_2 “Jiang Tang, you fickle-hearted radish,” Xuanyuan Mengting pouted grumpily, as the man before her spoke of wanting so many girlfriends, so many wives.
Just the thought of having to share him with someone else made her mad.
“I think I am a capable person, and besides, I’m an orphan.
To bring more descendants to my family is also a good thing,” Jiang Tang said, seeing Xuanyuan Mengting’s adorably huffy expression, he couldn’t help but tease her further.
Before Jiang Tang had crossed over, this kind of thought would arise in his mind, but it remained just a thought, maybe a dream that every man harbors: to have the fortune of multiple loving partners.
Having been in the Cultivation World for many years with such low cultivation, he couldn’t even talk about having girlfriends, let alone many friends, as he was always being chased and attacked.
Now that he was slightly more capable and able to garner the admiration of women, wasn’t this the case of a beauty matched with a hero?
Before, when he had no power, just surviving in the Cultivation World was difficult enough, he had no time to think about beauties.
But now, Jiang Tang felt that if there were girls who liked him, and if he couldn’t reject them, it was worth considering settling down.
Things that were beneficial to others and also advantageous to oneself!
“Humph, you wish, wanting so many wives to bear you so many children.
You might as well become a breeding pig,” she retorted.
When Xuanyuan Mengting was angry, she would speak harsh words she normally wouldn’t, perhaps because she cared about Jiang Tang.
At this moment, she didn’t realize that it was because she cared that she spoke so sharply.
“Breeding pig?
I don’t even have a girlfriend, how can I be a breeding pig?
Ha…” Jiang Tang wasn’t offended by the insult.
He had understood a lesson this time: if a man is not bad, women will not love him.
Jiang Tang took out the tea set and began preparing tea for his guest.
“Jiang Tang, just because you don’t have a girlfriend doesn’t mean you don’t have the intention.
If you had a girlfriend and still harbored such thoughts, wouldn’t that make you very vulgar?”
Xuanyuan Mengting persisted on the topic; for her, this was no mere jest but very serious talk.
“Miss Xuanyuan Mengting, could it be that you’ve fallen for me?
As a man who feasts alone yet feeds a whole family, who cares how many girlfriends or wives I have?”
Having finished teaching a lesson, Jiang Tang poured a cup of tea for Xuanyuan Mengting, joining the beauty for a drink, even though he had just had tea.
“Humph, who would fall for you?
Don’t flatter yourself too much, thinking because you look dashing and cool, I would like you?” Xuanyuan Mengting was too embarrassed to admit her feelings.
“Oh, so you really haven’t fallen for me?
Then, if I meet another girl and am taken by someone else as a boyfriend, you’d better not call me a fickle-hearted radish.”
At first, Jiang Tang was just joking, but gradually, he realized that this girl cared about him.
“How dare you, if you meet other women and become someone else’s boyfriend, I won’t let you off,” she said, puffing up with anger again.
She picked up the teacup on the table, downed it in one gulp, and only after the rich spiritual energy entered her body did she realize she had wasted a good cup of tea.
“Pour me another cup.”
“Hmm, Miss Xuanyuan Mengting likes drinking tea; how about I make tea for you every day?” Jiang Tang tempted her with both his voice and the offer.
“Jiang Tang, under what title will you be making tea for me every day?
My employee?
If not, such a promise is impractical.
With you going into seclusion every other day, how could you make tea for me every day?”
Xuanyuan Mengting realized she had been led off-topic by Jiang Tang’s few words and had forgotten the purpose and mission of her visit.
“How about as a boyfriend?
Once I become your boyfriend, I would have the privilege to serve you tea like this.
Besides, going into seclusion every few days is my job.
Can top-grade pills just pop out of nowhere?
Results come from hard work, you know.”
Jiang Tang tempted her in another way, thinking that girls often say one thing but mean another; but if there was another purpose, maybe she would agree to his terms.
He didn’t believe a girl would visit him so frequently without a reason.
Could it be his irresistible charm that has the daughter of the Xuanyuan Family head over heels for him, constantly finding excuses to see him?
Jiang Tang felt that Xuanyuan Mengting’s visit this time was not just a casual one; perhaps she was sent by her clan, which presented an excellent opportunity for him to seek a partnership.
To establish the Saint Sect, he must have the strong support of the people from the Ten Great Clans; any backstabbing from others could be more than he could handle.
With two Noble Clans from the Ten Great Clans already shareholders in his shop, the Xuanyuan Family, the leader amongst the Ten Great Clans, was precisely the target he wanted to win over.
He also knew that in their attempts to win him over, they might sacrifice some people and things.
Jiang Tang understood the concept well, desiring to obtain some benefits from him by tempting him with other offers.
Jiang Tang believed that most people wanted his help refining top-quality pills or to obtain more of these top-quality pills from him.
Upon hearing Jiang Tang’s words, Xuanyuan Mengting did not immediately rebut.
Her purpose in coming here was indeed for Jiang Tang; it took her this long to remember her original intent amidst their bickering, her face growing redder, responding not with words but with her silence.
Before Jiang Tang’s twinkling gaze, she bashfully lowered her head, then nodded.
“Miss Xuanyuan Mengting, what does your nod mean?
Are you agreeing to be my girlfriend, and also that you’re okay with me dating many other girls, and even marrying multiple women?”
Jiang Tang exploited his advantage to tease her, his smile growing wider, finding it so easy to talk to this girl.
He didn’t see any trace of guile in Miss Xuanyuan Mengting, whose feelings were plainly written on her innocent face; perhaps it was time for him to consider getting a girlfriend.
The path of cultivation was a long one, and he did not wish to continue alone; having someone by his side to work hard together could also bring a different type of joy!
Before traversing to the Cultivation World, Jiang Tang was just a young man himself, a rich young master who had girlfriends during his schooling years, breaking up when it wasn’t a good fit.
He had played the games of adults but never truly fallen in love with someone, never felt that desperate need.
Maybe boys are too rational, or perhaps they speak with their bodies more, the love that’s locked away could be merely a matter of attraction between the sexes.
The desire to bed a beautiful woman is something every boy dreams of, and rich and talented men have even more beauties around them.
Arriving in the Cultivation World, Jiang Tang felt completely out of place, missing the presence of beautiful women in his life.
Meeting Yan Weiwei was the lowest point of his life; he treated this beauty as a sister who then became a beacon leading him forward in this unfamiliar world of cultivation.
Now, equipped with advanced cultivation techniques, a stronger body, and greater assets, he had the ability to date; why then should he refuse?
“Jiang Tang, don’t push your luck.
I’m just agreeing to be your girlfriend, that’s all.
If you want to date many women, you must get my approval, and if you want to marry many wives, you also need my consent,” Xuanyuan Mengting snapped, getting angry.
She wanted to storm off but couldn’t bear to; meeting him was so rare, and she had her family’s mission too.
She knew that the man before her would not solely belong to her, as among the Xuanyuan Family, capable men were known to have multiple wives, just as Jiang Tang said.
He was an orphan, but for their family, he was like a leaf that could spread their lineage.
If she wanted to be Jiang Tang’s wife but didn’t want to bear him many children, she would have to let others do so.
Although the thought of sharing a boyfriend or husband was painfully distressing.
“Well, Miss Xuanyuan Mengting, from now on you are my main wife, and all other wives will be under your management.”
Having concluded the chat to that point, Jiang Tang didn’t care if Xuanyuan Mengting was sincere or not.
He liked that a girl could be so magnanimous.
With his decision made, Xuanyuan Mengting became his girlfriend.
Even if she wasn’t a love-for-life kind of woman, as he had just promised, she was now his main wife.
Having watched TV dramas, he, too, wanted to be like Wei Xiaobao, an alternative version of Wei Xiaobao in the Cultivation World.
“Jiang Tang, I’ve been sent here by my clan.
Our Family Head requests your presence to discuss something with you,” Xuanyuan Mengting eventually said to Jiang Tang, a bashful expression on her face as she shared her mission.
Jiang Tang nodded upon hearing Xuanyuan Mengting’s words.
He had guessed her presence was not unplanned, but it took the girl this long to state her purpose, indicating it might be more important to her than her family’s interests.
