Spending Time With His First Wife Su Xian

One day, Cui Lan entered Wang Jian's chamber, her face etched with a mixture of apprehension and urgency. "Master Jian," she began, her voice low, "There's news from the front."

Wang Jian, momentarily distracted from his latest conquest, lazily lifted his head. "News? Spit it out."

Cui Lan ignored his laziness. "The tide of the war seems to be turning," she explained.

"The large sects and Star Lords have gained a powerful ally," Cui Lan added, her voice laced with unease. "The formidable Ancient Phoenix Clan of the bird race has joined the fray. Their pure phoenix flames are wreaking havoc on the devilish ranks."

A frown marred Wang Jian's features. This wasn't part of the plan. The devils, despite being weakened, were still a formidable force. Now, with this new addition, the balance was starting to tilt in favor of the humans and Star Lords.
