Chapter 755 Giving Face! The New Dragon King Soul Bones!!_1
Gu Yuena's eyebrows rose, and her gaze became sharp as a blade.
Looking at the Ice Emperor who had jumped out to stand in front of Luo Yu.
"What does that have to do with me?"
"Why don't you ask the person behind you?"
The Ice Emperor, seeing the woman's firm and confident expression, couldn't help but waver on the inside, having long since sensed something off about Luo Yu's attitude.
She hurriedly turned her head back to look.
"Brother Yu, come out and say something."
"Why should this woman meddle in your love affairs?"
"Exactly," the Snow Lady also took a step forward, staunchly siding with her sister, presenting a united front.
The pressure from Gu Yuena's figure, beauty, and poise unconsciously cooled their demeanor.
"I..."
Luo Yu had always been decisive in his actions, but now he hesitated, unable to utter a complete sentence.
At this moment, if he dared to smooth talk, wouldn't that be treating Gu Yuena like a fool?
He wouldn't even know how he died.
Yet, staying silent wouldn't get him through today's predicament either.
How he wished for someone to give him a strategy to navigate through this hellish Asura Field.
It was then that Gu Yuena spoke up.
"Stop making it hard for him."
"Of course, he doesn't dare to talk recklessly now."
"Why?" Snow Lady asked.
The Ice Emperor, puffing up with anger, yelled, "Brother Yu is very formidable; do you think he's scared of you?"
Luo Yu almost burst into tears.
Lady, please, no more, stop cutting me down.
You've almost buried me with just a few words.
I'm scared! I'm scared to death!
"Not bad, not bad, it seems he has already hoodwinked you into confusion," said Gu Yuena.
She slowly lowered her arms that were crossed over her chest, her jade feet stepping on the icy surface, her beautiful legs swaying, her shapely hips swishing, her silver hair gently flying in the cold wind.
She walked up to the Ice Emperor, the two of them standing face to face, just inches apart.
She stood still.
Without blinking, she looked coldly at the Ice Emperor.
"You ask me what right I have to interfere?"
"The right, because I am his chief wife, because I am the Chief Wife."
Her cold voice, though not loud, asserted her sovereignty, striking the ears of the Ice and Snow Empresses like thunder from the heavens, exploding with a deafening boom.
The Ice Emperor's lips trembled.
"You... what did you say?"
Snow Lady quickly sought out the man's figure, asking frantically, "Brother Yu, Brother Yu, is what she said true?"
At this moment, Luo Yu dared not deny it; he had to own up to his actions.
He nodded.
"Nana and I met a million years ago."
"Oh dear, you're willing to acknowledge me in front of these two beauties?" Gu Yuena maintained her cold and independent demeanor, demonstrating the poise of a Chief Wife.
Luo Yu said with a wry smile, "I never said I didn't acknowledge you."
Turning to look at the Ice and Snow Empresses, he said apologetically:
"I'm sorry, sisters, for not telling you about Nana, it's my fault."
"But rest assured, with me here, Nana won't harm you."
"This matter, in ten thousand ways, is my fault."
The Ice and Snow Empresses stood still, their beautiful eyes empty, staring blankly at Luo Yu.
They hadn't expected this turn of events.
Luo Yu was overwhelmed by a mix of emotions, unsure of what to say.
Standing beside him, Gu Yuena did not show triumph in her eyes, and even showed a hint of regret because driving the man to such depths was not what she wanted to see.
But she was truly furious.
Here she was on this end, scheming to enhance his strength, while he was over there passionately flirting with other women?
Not that she couldn't tolerate it, seeing that she had already endured all his other women.
But that moment just now, she really felt a surge of jealousy and wasn't inclined to show the man a pleasant face.
However, seeing him appear so dejected, she couldn't help but soften inside.
Otherwise, if she really wanted to make things difficult for him, she could have just sneered and said, "Didn't you ever mention me to those two girls, or do you never bring me up with your bevy of close female friends?"
The atmosphere fell into a deadlock.
Gu Yuena maintained an appearance of dignity and aloofness, displaying the poise of the Chief Wife, but inside she was in a dilemma.
Filled with jealousy, she also felt some regret.
Conflicted to the core.
On the other hand, Luo Yu readily admitted his fault; he didn't care about his own fate as much as he hoped not to hurt the feelings of the women involved.
Clenching his fists, he felt regret.
Some things should have been said earlier. Concealing the truth was unjust on his part; he ought to face the consequences.
He had made his bed, now he must lie in it.
He was like a prisoner awaiting judgement now.
Luo Yu said in a deep voice,
"Bing'er, Xue'er, you've done nothing wrong in this matter. The fault lies with me, and whatever decision you make, I will respect it."
The Ice Emperor and the Snow Lady exchanged glances, then both turned their complex gazes to Luo Yu.
They said something that greatly surprised Luo Yu.
The Ice Emperor sighed and shook her head, "Brother Yu, what makes you think we would care whether you have other women or not?"
The Snow Lady rolled her beautiful eyes with a hint of sarcasm.
"You really don't understand the Soul Beast Clan."
"In the world of soul beasts, what does it matter if a powerful male takes an entire clan for himself?"
"Do you think we would care about such things? Why didn't you say so earlier?"
Luo Yu's mouth dropped open.
You say I don't understand soul beasts?
How did I manage to become an Emperor's Auspicious Beast for a million years then!
The responses from the two women took him by surprise; he was ready to be drenched in harsh words, only to hear this unexpected rationale.
Seeing Luo Yu's astonishment, the Ice and Snow Empresses shook their heads,
"Brother Yu, actually, we were feeling quite insecure. After all, you are so dazzling that it's hard for anyone in the human realm to match you."
"We feared we weren't good enough for you, but knowing you had other concubines, we felt that it made being with you slightly more attainable."
The Snow Lady sighed,
"Besides, it's always been us pursuing you. You've never once actively pursued us."
The Ice Emperor nodded in agreement,
"We took the initiative to confess our feelings to you; when have you ever deceived us?"
Luo Yu's mouth grew even wider as he felt moved, looking at the two women and suddenly not knowing what to say.
Although he had never actively pursued either of the two.
But hiding the truth about his bevy of close female friends was indeed a fact, and he had to acknowledge his mistake.
A man should not make excuses for his errors, a proactive repentance is what should be done.
"I think you two girls have been bewitched,"
Gu Yuena, seemingly more icy and stern on the surface, was actually relieved on the inside; the pressure of competing for family and imperial authority was immense.
The Female Pope seemed to be temporarily subdued, but in reality, she was furiously cultivating, preparing to challenge Gu Yuena's imperial position.
Vigilance was necessary.
If she were to mess up a good thing for the man now, and the Female Pope succeeded on her end, the stability of her paramount position in the harem would surely waver.
The man already had so many close female friends, what difference would two more make?
Moreover, these two were also soul beast kin.
A secure position in the harem also required allies.
A fleeting look passed through the depths of Gu Yuena's eyes, and she formed a plan in her mind, but the jealousy that was due could not be lessened.
Otherwise, it would be spoiling the man too much.
"Girls?"
The Ice and Snow Empresses were not pleased.
"Although you've been with Brother Yu for a long time, you're after all just a human; your lifespan is limited."
"To refer to us as girls with an air of superiority is somewhat improper, don't you think?"
When women meet, they are opponents; the Ice and Snow Empresses had already united, ready to resist the pressure from the Chief Wife.
