Celestial 'War God' Return-Chapter 357: Two Core Disciples

While Tang Xiao was speaking with Huo Yan, Tang Yin and Xing Xing had already chosen the house they would be staying in during their stay at the sect. Unlike the area for King-level disciples, the area for Xiantian-level disciples was much larger and had many empty houses, so they chose an area that suited them.

They entered the house to check everything, but they were uncomfortable sleeping on the hard bamboo mattresses. Fortunately, Xiao Ai had prepared soft mattresses for them, and they quickly took them out and placed them on the bamboo bed.

"Hehe! Luckily, we have Xiao Ai, Big Sis Yin." Xing Xing immediately lay down on the bed.

"Xiao Ai’s presence beside us really helps us, especially for our lives outside Earth." Tang Yin sat on a chair and looked around their house. "This house isn’t that big, but the environment is cool and beautiful. This is our first time living in a place like this, and this is our first adventure in the true cultivation world, so we need to get used to it quickly."

Xing Xing nodded slightly. "I want to rest for a while, and we’ll go look around all the areas in this sect after that, especially those halls."

"Hehe," Tang Yin sat cross-legged on the mattress. "I’ll try cultivating while I wait for the others."

"Me too." Xing Xing got up and sat cross-legged, and the two immediately began their cultivation.

In another bamboo house, Sun Xiang and Mu Yan were already used to such a situation, so they didn’t think much about it. After they looked around their house, they immediately started cultivating.

’Sigh! I have to break through to the King Level as soon as possible; otherwise, they’ll all overtake me and leave me behind.’ Unlike Tang Yin and the others, Sun Xiang hadn’t obtained the Ascension Fruit, and she hadn’t yet dual cultivated with Tang Xiao, causing her progress to stagnate.

Since several months ago, Mu Yan has been serious about her cultivation. She wanted to become strong as soon as possible so that Zhao Jing’s soul in her soul space would also become strong, and Xiao Ai could help her find a new body to live again.

In another house, there were only two bamboo beds because each house was used for two disciples. However, Yu Xiaoling, Zhao Yuxian, and Jessica decided to live together, so they had to wait for the sect to renovate it a bit.

Like Tang Yin and Xing Xing, the three women were also unaccustomed to this situation; however, unlike the two, Xiao Ai did not provide them with mattresses, forcing them to sleep on hard bamboo beds.

"This bed is really hard," Jessica complained. "However, it’s much better and more comfortable than sleeping in the forest like before."

Zhao Yuxian agreed with her. "Even though we’re not used to such conditions, we should get used to them quickly, as the situation in all cultivation worlds is similar, including Earth II."

"What are your plans next?" They looked at Yu Xiaoling. 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

Zhao Yuxian answered her straight away. "I’m going to the medical hall to deepen my medical knowledge so I can take care of your wounds or injuries. Although Xiao Ai can help us, we don’t know when we’ll be in a situation that prevents us from entering the ark. How about you, Jessica?"

"Hmm?" Jessica thought about her options, tapping her chin. "Since there is no alchemist in our group, and we always rely on Xiao Ai, I think I will start learning about alchemy. Besides, I will also join the martial arts hall to hone my fighting skills so I can protect myself."

Yu Xiaoling sighed. "I haven’t decided yet, but I’ll probably join the Soul Hall to study soul cultivation. However, my cultivation is still at the Xiantian level, and I haven’t formed my cultivation soul yet, so I don’t know what I can learn there."

"In that case, we’ll wait for Tang Xiao and the others, and we’ll look around the hall together."

"Alright."

In the core disciple courtyard, the number of disciples was not as many as the number of inner disciples in the inner courtyard, and each disciple got their own bamboo house.

Mu Qingge chose a bamboo house under a large tree, located quite deep within the area. The house was quite spacious compared to the inner courtyard, and each house was quite far apart from each other so she wouldn’t be disturbed by other disciples.

"If it weren’t for my husband, I would never have been able to go to this realm." Mu Qingge sighed softly. "This is my first step into the world of true cultivation, so I mustn’t waste this opportunity. I must cultivate harder so I’ll be ready if he takes us to a higher realm in the future."

*Knock... Knock...*

Mu Qingge opened the door and saw a young man standing there, causing her to raise an eyebrow. "Who are you?"

The man was quite handsome, but his body was a little thin. He was wearing a plain white hanfu, with a white fan in his hand. "My name is Chen Hongde, and I am one of the core disciples of this sect. I happened to see you enter this bamboo house earlier, and I’ve never seen you before, so I decided to stop by and get to know you."

"My name is Mu Qingge, Tang Xiao’s wife, and Mu Yan’s mother."

Chen Hongde was stunned for a moment after hearing this, as he didn’t expect Mu Qingge to be married and have a daughter. "Please to meet you, Sister Mu. Did your husband also join this sect?"

"Yes," Mu Qingge didn’t hide it. "My husband is a King-level disciple, so he lives in the inner courtyard."

"Hey, Hongde!"

Chen Hongde and Mu Qingge looked at the young woman who was running towards them in a hurry.

The woman’s face was oval-shaped. Her dark brown eyes were large and slightly almond-shaped, with a sharp yet captivating gaze. She had long black hair flowing over her shoulders and back, reaching down to her waist. She has a curvy figure draped in a red gown with rich decorative details. Her shoulders were broad and smooth. Her full breasts accentuated the dress. Her waist was slim, her hips round, and her long legs were smooth and toned.

"Eh? Are you a new disciple, Sister? Did you just join the sect today?"

Mu Qingge nodded. "I just arrived in this realm and joined this sect."

"Oh!" The woman immediately introduced herself. "My name is Su Xiulan, and I’m Chen Hongde’s fiancée."

Mu Qingge stole a glance at Chen Hongde, who was smiling to himself. "My name is Mu Qingge, Tang Xiao’s wife, and Mu Yan’s mother."

"Eh?" Su Xiulan let out a loud cry of surprise. "Are you really married and have a daughter, Sister Mu?"

"I am indeed married and have a daughter, Sister Su."

"Hey, Xiulan! Her husband is an inner disciple of our sect," Chen Hongde said.

Su Xiulan blinked a few times. "Does that mean your husband is younger than you, Sister Mu? Otherwise, his cultivation wouldn’t be that far behind yours, right?"

"My husband is younger than me, and his cultivation is below mine because he cultivated late."

"Oh." Su Xiulan nodded several times. "Since you just joined this sect, how about we show you and your husband around the sect grounds, Sister Mu?"

"I’ll ask my husband first." Mu Qingge contacted Tang Xiao and asked for his opinion, which he immediately agreed to. "We should go see him first, Sister Su."

"Yay!" Su Xiulan hugged her arms and pulled her outside. "Let’s go, Hongde."

Chen Hongde could only shake his head and immediately followed the two women, but his eyes glanced several times toward one of the bamboo houses there. ’That man still hasn’t returned to the sect; otherwise, he will directly approach Mu Qingge.’

When the three arrived at the inner courtyard, Chen Hongde and Su Xiulan saw Tang Xiao with seven other women, confusing them both.

"Mom!" Mu Yan called out as she hugged her mother’s arm. "Who are those two, Mom?"

"Yan’er, they are core disciples like me: Chen Hongde and his fiancée, Su Xiulan."

"Eh?" Su Xiulan was surprised. "Is this girl really your daughter, Sister Mu? I thought your daughter was still young, but it turns out she’s already this big, and her cultivation has reached the Upper Xiantian Level."

"Hehe! Senior Sister Su, I’m really my mother’s daughter, and I’m almost 18 years old." Mu Yan pointed to Tang Xiao. "Big Brother Xiao is my mother’s husband."

Upon hearing that, Chen Hongde and Su Xiulan realized that Tang Xiao was not Mu Yan’s father, and he was Mu Qingge’s second husband. They were curious about it, but they didn’t ask about their privacy.

"Then, who are these other women?"

Mu Yan pointed to them one by one. "Big Sis Tang Yin and Big Sis Xing Xing are my big brother’s first and second wives. Big Sis Sun Xiang is his future wife. Jessica, Yu Xiaoling, and Zhao Yuxian are their servants."

Chen Hongde and Su Xiulan were shocked to hear that Tang Xiao had two other wives in addition to a future wife. Their eyes widened, not expecting a woman as beautiful as Mu Qingge to be willing to share a husband with multiple women at once. Both of them were also curious about the status of Jessica, Yu Xiaoling, and Zhao Yuxian.

Tang Xiao inwardly sighed. "Shall we go now?"

"Let’s go! We’ll take you all to see the sect’s areas." Su Xiulan pulled Chen Hongde along with her, followed by Tang Xiao and the others.
