Lei Jin was indeed pleased by the new lack of nervousness. Before it seemed as though she had been forced. Then upon seeing Lei Jin for the first time and his commanding Aura she didn't know how to respond. Marrying a woman that did not have the resolve to stand beside him would have been incredibly detrimental.
Even if she was good with household duties. Since those were useless to him as he had no shortage of servants that took care of all of those kinds of things. What he needed was not a frail woman that needs to be doted on. He needs a woman that is determined and good natured. As one could imagine there were incredibly few of these kinds of women out there in the world.
"So it is miss Chen Yun. Why did you seem nervous before?" Lei Jin asked.
"I was nervous about meeting the man who is to be my husband. Is that not normal? Moreover such a powerful and influential man that already has many wives. How could I not be nervous?" Chen Yun answered with a little cute squirm like motion.
"I see, so you are worried about the treatment you will receive then. Well, I can assure you that in some sense you are lucky. Because, you don't have to wait nearly as long as your sisters did to try for children. They had all made the choice not to have any until after all 9 sisters had been welcomed into the family." Lei Jin said, taking an empty cup and filling it along with his own.
"Ah! This… uhm… I uhm…" Chen Yun said, turn an even deeper flushed color. "This marriage is more political is it not?" She asked.
"Don't worry, even if this is the case and you are the 9th wife. Your treatment will not be any worse than the treatment I give to any of my wives. I love them all equally." Lei Jin said, floating the filled cup to Chen Yun's seat.
"I have looked at your wives since I entered the room. I worry I may not be good enough to stand with them. They all have this glow of complete confidence. Moreover they all seem to be able to be promoted to the high rank open heaven directly. I have refined a 6th rank material. So I really am not as good." Chen Yun said, turning back to stare at the filled cup.
"If that's how you think then perhaps I should tell you. I was only able to breakthrough to the 5th rank directly at one point as well. It was Husband who helped to change this." Xia Meili said, stopping any excuse.
"Listen if you are looking for excuses. Just tell me this and I will take action. Is it that someone else has already claimed your heart?" Lei Jin asked.
"No, I really just didn't feel worthy. A man with such power shouldn't have an unworthy wife." Chen Yun said, quickly so her father wouldn't get mad.
"I see, well did you know that if you hadn't fit the criteria well enough I wouldn't have even entertained the idea?" Lei Jin asked.
"Then…" Chen Yun started looking around and then at her mother. Her mother nodded in approval. "I would be honored if Young Pillar Lei Jin would have this one, Chen Yun." She said, then downing the cup.
"Welcome to the family Chen Yun. On the way back you may talk with the sisters. They will help you to better understand some things." Lei Jin said, drinking his cup.
"Ahahaha, I'm glad my daughter was a good fit. I expect you to treat her well." Heavenly Net Divine Monarch laughed while drinking more wine.
"Darling, don't go too far so soon. And Lei Jin, I better not hear of any mistreatment of my dear daughter. Or I won't forgive you." Heavenly Net Divine Monarch's wife said.
"Madam, since I have taken a wife this day I will naturally treat her well. Parents are the foundation of a family. Chen Yun, from this day forward will be one of the 9 mothers of my children. So I will definitely not treat her wrongly." Lei Jin said, calmly.
"Good! Since you have said this I will hold you to it." Heavenly Net Divine Monarch's wife said, also drinking to the union.
"Now that this has been established. I do expect the three Divine Monarchs to hold their end. Otherwise you would be laughing in the face of this union." Lei Jin said, narrowing his eyes slightly. "And I will not have my wives insulted as such." He added.
"Don't worry about this matter, Lei Jin, I will keep this man in check. And I'll tell the concubines to help keep him in check too. So there will not be anything to worry about from him. As for the other two. I am certain they wouldn't dare to cause trouble. Since they all have women who will keep them under control." Heavenly Net Divine Monarch's wife said, placing her hand on her husband's shoulder while she smiled.
"Ahahaha, the strength of the women surrounding a man must be grand. Very well. I'll trust you to handle things if they go too far. As a token of thanks for showing such a good scene. Take this." Lei Jin said, pulling out 3 full sets of Rank 7 materials.
"The son-in-law is indeed a smart young man. We will make sure these are put to good use." Heavenly Net Divine Monarch's wife said.
"It's only natural that I take care of my extended family. I will also be setting up a True Rainbow in this Universe World. If you wish for more you'll have to send a request and wait. I have to give all of my 'Cave Heavens & Paradises' one after all. Aside from three that are done and two that I can not reach at the moment." Lei Jin said.
The Guard knocked and returned with the 6 arranged marriages. The line up was quite good. Even Lei Jin was a bit surprised to see the level of preparedness the Divine Monarchs had. It was clear they didn't want to be on his bad side.
