152 Another Argument with Younger Aunt Dean
Yan Zhen and Instructor Yu Xuan, both dressed in their academy uniforms, had a simple breakfast at Clan Head Yu Lu’s courtyard, then leisurely made their way to the landing plaza.
Cousin Yu Die and her mother were already waiting there.
Grand Elder Great Aunt summoned her private airship. Younger Aunt Dean and Aunt Head Instructor boarded first, followed by Cousin Yu Die. Just as Yan Zhen was about to board, Instructor Yu Xuan called out to him.
He turned around and saw Instructor Yu Xuan, unable to contain her emotions, rush into his arms and kiss him passionately in front of the four beautiful elders.
Yan Zhen was stunned, feeling her deep affection, and responded fervently.
The four elders exchanged awkward glances, discreetly looking away.
The maids, led by the head housekeeper, also lowered their heads respectfully.
The couple finally parted for air, breathless.
After the kiss, Instructor Yu Xuan calmed down, a gentle smile returning to her slightly flushed face. “Don’t forget to think of me. I’ll cultivate diligently and try not to let you surpass me too quickly.”
Yan Zhen scratched his cheek and whispered, “I already have~”
Instructor Yu Xuan, experienced in the ways of love, understood his implication and playfully punched his shoulder. “Don’t say such suggestive things.”
“I love you, Instructor. I’ll miss you. You’ll always be in my heart.”
“Hmph, even a tenth of that would be enough for me, you philandering little radish.”
“Uh…”
/(//o/ω/o//)/
Yan Zhen was speechless. Counting carefully, the number of women he was involved with had indeed exceeded ten.
Sigh, he was supposed to be the protagonist of a no-female-lead fantasy novel. How did it end up like this?
[…]
“Then I’ll be going. Goodbye, Instructor.”
Yan Zhen boarded the airship and sat beside Cousin Yu Die, facing Younger Aunt Dean and Aunt Head Instructor.
As soon as he sat down, Cousin Yu Die said, “So passionate. No wonder the books say that lovers separated by distance can’t help themselves when they reunite, often engaging in… activities during the day.”
Yan Zhen gave the heroic-looking, short-haired cousin a look. “What have you been up to these past two days, Cousin? You disappeared after dinner.”
“I had two days off. Naturally, I was relaxing at home.”
“Wouldn’t your mother disapprove?”
“She can disapprove all she wants. I’ll relax regardless, hmph!”
“Right.”
—So, Cousin is a homebody.
Yan Zhen imagined Cousin Yu Die in an oversized T-shirt, her hair in a ponytail, sprawled on a sofa, with chips in one hand and a soda in the other.
He shook his head, dispelling the strange image, and inadvertently met Younger Aunt Dean’s gaze.
“What are you looking at?”
Younger Aunt Dean initiated the confrontation. Yan Zhen wasn’t going to back down. “If you weren’t looking at me, how would you know I was looking at you?”
“I’m your elder. I’m looking at you because I appreciate you as a junior. You looking at me is disrespectful!”
“Oh? You appreciate me, Younger Aunt? Do tell, what do you appreciate about me?”
“I…” Younger Aunt Dean almost instinctively retorted, then said with a forced smile, “Naturally, I appreciate your handsome face, your quick wit, and your silver tongue, which you use to deceive innocent young women and make them fall for you, hmph!”
Yan Zhen was unfazed and stuck out his tongue playfully. “Younger Aunt, you’re mistaken. My tongue isn’t made of silver. See for yourself. Blegh~”
He even made a licking motion towards her.
Younger Aunt Dean froze, watching his pink tongue… “wiggle,” her face flushing, her heart racing. She swallowed hard, snapping back to reality only when she heard a chuckle beside her.
Glaring at her giggling friend, Younger Aunt Dean snorted. “Who wants to look at you? Put that thing away. It’s disgusting.”
Yan Zhen shrugged and retracted his tongue. “Instructor Yu Xuan just cleaned it. It’s very clean.”
“Shameless!”
“I have plenty of shame.”
Yan Zhen grinned mischievously.
Younger Aunt Dean felt the urge to punch him in the face, giving him a black eye.
Cousin Yu Die looked back and forth between Yan Zhen and Younger Aunt Dean, shaking her head inwardly.
—Cousin-in-law is indeed quite something, but is he really that attractive?
She leaned closer to Yan Zhen and sniffed discreetly, surprised by his pleasant scent. She felt a slight stirring within her, but quickly dismissed it.
—No, no, I saw how affectionate he and Xuan’er are. I’m just an outsider.
And watching her cousin and her husband being lovey-dovey every day would be torture!
Thinking of this, Cousin Yu Die ignored Yan Zhen and closed her eyes, feigning sleep.
Shui Bailan also glanced at Yan Zhen and her friend, who were glaring at each other, a faint smile playing on her lips, then she also closed her eyes and pretended to rest.
As for Grand Elder Great Aunt at the helm, she was immersed in the joy of piloting, humming a tune and even using her Water Mystic Power to create a musical accompaniment.
The airship broke through the clouds, following the same route back, arriving at the Outer Academy of the Sacred Ground Academy before noon, landing smoothly in front of Yu Heaven Pavilion.
Younger Aunt Dean and Aunt Head Instructor stepped off the airship, followed by Yan Zhen.
“Why are you getting off?” Grand Elder Yu Yan asked.
“I have some business to attend to in the Outer Academy… Great Aunt, you and Cousin can go back first. I’ll return to the Inner Academy tomorrow.”
“Remember to come back early. It’s almost time to enter the Yin Polar Secret Realm.”
Yan Zhen acknowledged her instructions, and then Grand Elder Yu Yan and Yu Die left.
“Then I’ll be going, Aunt.”
Aunt Head Instructor smiled faintly. “Mm-hmm, go ahead. Come visit again when you have time.”
“Wait!” Younger Aunt Dean blocked his path. “Be honest, are you going to see your four… lovers?”
Yan Zhen, not intimidated at all, replied calmly, “Yes, Younger Aunt. Do you have a problem with that?”
“You’re not allowed to go!” Younger Aunt Dean said, displeased. “You’re practically a member of the Yu family now. Don’t mess around with other women. It’s best to end all those ambiguous relationships as soon as possible.”
Yan Zhen raised his index finger and wagged it slightly. “Small-minded, so small-minded. Mother-in-law has already agreed to let me bring them into the Yu family as my concubines. You should stop worrying about such things, hehe~”
“What? Second Sister agreed? How is that possible?!”
Younger Aunt Dean was shocked, as if betrayed by her own teammate. Even Aunt Head Instructor was surprised, not expecting her sister-in-law to be so indulgent towards Yan Zhen.
“If you don’t believe me, you can ask Mother-in-law yourself. I have things to do. I’ll be going now. See you later.”
Yan Zhen brushed past Younger Aunt Dean, walked through the Outer Academy Dean’s office, down the stairs, and left Yu Heaven Pavilion, heading towards the four girls’ private residence.
Watching him leave, Younger Aunt Dean immediately took out her Yu family communication talisman and demanded to know why her second sister had agreed to let Yan Zhen bring those other women into the Yu family.
Clan Head Yu Lu ignored her foolish sister and contacted Supreme Elder Yu to discuss the matter of Yan Zhen.
