The government was sending out wives, and I ended up with a princess from the previous dynasty!

“Master, several ladies are helping to look after the manor, so nothing has happened. However, a few days ago, the Ninth Prince’s men came to see you twice, but since you were not back, I turned them away.”

"Judging from their appearance, it seems like they want to see you about something."

Butler Sun began to recount the events of the past few days. This was his duty, so he started reporting immediately, and he did so very naturally.

Jia Daoshi found it pleasant to listen to, as if it were a casual chat rather than a simple work report.

Hearing that Wu Qingye had come to see him several times, Jia Daoshi guessed that the other party wanted to inquire about the key to the Martial God Temple and the Three Yuan Taiyi Pill.

He had already consumed one of the Three Yuan Taiyi Pills, and he did not intend to hand over the remaining one.

Why should I hand over the treasure that I risked my life to fight against the heroes of the martial arts world?

As for the key to the Temple of Martial God, whether or not he hands it over is actually irrelevant.

This thing requires three keys to work, and I don't know where the other two are!

Moreover, even if I hand it back myself, I'll probably have to go in person again next time I go to the Temple of Martial Gods to seize the treasure.

Even so, he wouldn't hand it over easily.

After a moment's thought, Jia Daoshi instructed, "Alright, I understand. If the Ninth Prince's men come again, just bring them to see me directly."

"Yes, Master!"

Butler Sun nodded, indicating that he had made a note of it.

"Brother Daoshi!"

"Homeowner!"

As several voices rang out, Jia Daoshi's right-hand men walked out of the courtyard.

Jia Hu, Jia Bing, Hong Jingbao, Chen Long, Yuan Biao, and Xie Miao, who changed his name to Jia Miao, the Four Little Dragons, all rushed out upon hearing the commotion!

At a glance, Jia Daoshi knew that during his absence, his younger and older brothers had not slacked off; they were all full of energy and their aura was even stronger than before!

"Hahaha! Tiger!"

"Hyouko!"

"Ah Long!"

"Biaozi!"

"Brother Bao!"

"Amiao!"

"Little dragon!"

After greeting them one by one, Jia Daoshi stepped forward and casually made a move against them.

However, all of them were resolved one by one.

"Haha! Not bad, it's clear that everyone worked very hard while I was away."

"Master, we dare not slack off and are ready to answer your call at any time!"

Jia Bing puffed out his chest.

Chen Long and his group followed suit.

Jia Miao and the two little boys, Si Xiaolong, on the other hand, looked cold and indifferent.

"Good! Not bad. I believe we will soon have the opportunity to test your strength. Stay vigilant these next two days and do not let your guard down!"

"Yes!"

Seeing that Jia Daoshi was speaking seriously, Jia Bing and his group seemed to understand something and loudly agreed!

Our patriarch has been away for so many days, and the Ninth Prince even paid a visit a few days ago. I guess he's up to something big this time!

There must be some fearless martial arts practitioners here, ready to die!

They weren't afraid at all; on the contrary, they were a little excited!

Seeing the high morale of Jia Bing and his group, Jia Daoshi nodded.

He took these people in because they were decent guys and he could trust them.

In retrospect, how wise his choice was!

After the group dispersed, it was time for his wives.

The ladies living in the innermost courtyard all came out to greet Jia Daoshi after the maid informed them that her husband had returned to the manor.

Having not seen Jia Daoshi for more than twenty days, they missed him not only in their hearts but also in their bodies!

Yi Qianxiao, in particular, used her lightness skill to run to Jia Daoshi and give him a big hug.

Following closely behind Yi Qianxiao were Di Qinglin and Murong Jiu.

This time, neither Di Qinglin nor Murong Jiu held back; instead, they stepped forward and embraced Jia Daoshi tightly.

In this era, without mobile phones or other communication tools, the pain of longing for one's beloved when he leaves for a distant land is unbearable for ordinary women.

There's a poem that beautifully captures this: A young woman in her boudoir, oblivious to sorrow, ascends the jade tower in spring, adorned in her finest attire. Suddenly, she sees the willows' green on the roadside, and regrets urging her husband to seek fame and fortune.

Jia Daoshi's absence for only a few days had already left his wives looking haggard.

Let's not even talk about those who have been gone for years without a word.

"My ladies, do you miss your handsome, dashing, and energetic husband?"

Facing his several stunningly beautiful wives, Jia Daoshi's attitude became much more relaxed. He held one in each arm, with another squeezed in between, and asked with a smile.

Jia Daoshi's words seemed to strike a chord with the three women, making them blush. However, they eventually nodded in agreement.

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's hurry back inside!"

Even Jia Daoshi, with his soft and fragrant body in his arms, found it hard to resist.

But at that moment, Yi Qianxiao said, "My lord, why didn't Sister Changting come back with you after she went south to find you? Did she not find you?"

"Changting came to see me?" Jia Daoshi was taken aback.

“Yes! It seems you two didn’t run into each other.” Yi Qianxiao frowned. “But with Changting’s abilities, there shouldn’t be any danger.”

“Yes, I haven’t encountered any.” Jia Daoshi nodded.

Weng Changting originally wanted to help Jia Daoshi, but who would have thought that Jia Daoshi was so powerful that he killed a group of martial arts masters and then rode a white crane into the sky, leaving her no chance to make a move!

In the end, Weng Changting could only return alone in silence.

However, they still haven't returned to the manor.

"Ladies, there's no need to worry. I'll send someone to keep an eye on Changting's movements. Perhaps she'll arrive soon too?"

"By the way, my lord, I have gained quite a lot from my trip to Jiangnan this time, and I would like to share it with my wives!"

Jia Daoshi laughed heartily. "The sun is shining brightly today, warming people up. It's a beautiful day!"

In this kind of weather, you won't feel cold even if you're wearing just a single layer of clothing!

So, it's a good time to go back to my room and get some exercise!

Yi Qianxiao and the other two covered their mouths and chuckled, clearly very tempted by Jia Daoshi's words!

"My lord! I fear you are weary from your journey and will not be able to tame this wild horse!"

Yi Qianxiao whispered in Jia Daoshi's ear.

"Hahahaha! My wife, you're mistaken. Your husband just loves riding spirited horses! The wilder and more unrestrained the horse, the more exhilarating it is!!"

Jia Daoshi's current strength and vitality are nothing short of heaven-defying; even the fiercest and wildest horse is nothing more than a pushover in front of him.

It's clear that Yi Qianxiao and Di Qinglin have been training diligently and have made great progress, but compared to him, their progress is really nothing.

For the next day and night, Jia Daoshi did not leave his room, remaining inside shamelessly indulging in debauchery.

Before we knew it, it was the morning of the third day.

As soon as it was light, a large group of people arrived at the gate of the Jia family manor!
