No one had expected that, right inside the bridal chamber, Yaya and Ruoxi were hiding. Ye Chen and his three new brides hadn't noticed them at all, not even after drinking the ceremonial wine.
If Ye Chen hadn't suddenly sensed something amiss, they might never have been discovered.
The brides were dumbfounded, clearly having failed to detect Yaya's concealment as well.
While their nervousness played a part, it was also because Yaya was the World Tree, innately mastering the Dao of Time and Space. If she truly intended to hide, even an ancient Great Sage would find it difficult to detect her presence.
Forced out of the void, Yaya showed not a hint of embarrassment. Her porcelain-doll-like, exquisite face was full of a mischievous grin as she kept urging, "Dad, hurry up and kiss them! Aunt Ruoxi and I are getting anxious watching. Are you really going to drag it out like this? Don't you know your three moms are waiting anxiously in their hearts? If you're nervous, Auntie and I will cheer you on from the side."
"Go, go, go! Yes, just like that, cheering for you!" she shouted with great enthusiasm and fervor.
Ruoxi beside her didn't speak, but the look of anticipation on her face betrayed her; she was equally eager.
"..."
Being watched by the two of them, especially with Yaya energetically cheering on the side, the three brides were thoroughly embarrassed, casting reproachful glances at the two troublemakers.
Even though these two were among their closest companions, what woman would truly be bold enough to casually let others see them being intimate with their husband? Even a bold and coquettish woman like Zhao Jingruo was exceptionally shy at this moment, completely devoid of her former flirtatious daring.
"Alright, that's enough from both of you."
Ye Chen directly reached out, grabbed Ruoxi, ruffled her hair with his large hand, and flicked her flawless forehead with his finger, glaring. "Xi'er, you're an aunt now, an adult. Yet you're still fooling around with a little girl like Yaya. Out."
He tore through the void and sent Ruoxi right outside the bridal chamber.
Seeing the situation turning sour, Yaya beside her immediately tried to use an escape technique, hurriedly saying, "Dad, you go ahead and be intimate with Mom. I won't disturb you anymore. Bye-bye."
"Hmph, trying to run only when you see things going wrong. I need to teach a lesson to you, this lawless little brat."
Ye Chen was faster. With a swish, he grabbed her small hand, restrained her form, placed her on the table, and spanked her bottom hard several times with his large hand. "You little brat, is something like Dad being intimate with Mom something a child should watch?"
Yaya cried out dramatically, on the verge of tears, her large eyes watery and pitiful. "Dad, I won't dare next time. Please let your most innocent and adorable daughter Yaya go. Moms, can you bear to see your smart and lovely daughter, already so grown up, still getting spanked by Dad?"
"There's a next time?" Ye Chen glared.
"No, no more," Yaya shook her head urgently like a rattle-drum.
The three brides were, after all, Yaya's mothers and cherished their daughter dearly. Unable to bear it, they all spoke up to plead for Yaya.
Only then did Ye Chen release Yaya, giving her forehead a tap that made her huff, but she didn't dare act up again. However, her large eyes rolled, making Ye Chen's expression turn serious. What scheme was this girl cooking up now?
Yaya giggled, "Dad, for the sake of your and Mom's happiness, I won't tell you there are other people in the room."
"What?"
Ye Chen and the Three Immortal Maidens were greatly shocked. The former immediately swept the entire bridal chamber with his divine sense, tore through the void, and a dignified, graceful figure appeared. Upon seeing who it was, he couldn't help but be stunned. "Mother, why are you here too?"
That's right, it was Xia Wei. She had also been hiding in the bridal chamber, leaving Ye Chen both amused and exasperated. The brides were also startled. "Mother."
"You wretched girl, daring to sell out even your grandmother, after all the love she's shown you," Xia Wei glared at the giggling Yaya, who muttered discontentedly, "Who told you not to help me when Dad was spanking my bottom?"
Xia Wei helplessly glared at her granddaughter, then waved her hand and sat directly on the table, her eyes shining brightly as she looked at the extremely awkward scene. "It's nothing. Mother just came by to see how things were progressing. You continue, don't mind me."
The brides were utterly mortified. Ye Chen was also at a loss whether to laugh or cry. "Mother, with you here, how can we proceed? Please leave first."
Xia Wei's figure suddenly seemed much lonelier. She turned away, sighing. "They say when children grow up, they start to dislike their parents. Even Little Chen is no exception. It's just some intimacy, right? What's there to be shy about? When you were little, the moment you lifted your bottom, I knew whether you were going to poop or pee. Now you've learned to chase your mother out the door. Sigh—"
Swish—
Even with Ye Chen's thick skin, he couldn't help but blush crimson. The brides and Yaya all let out meaningful "ohs," looking at Ye Chen with knowing, amused smiles.
"Mother, please go out. And Yaya, aren't you going to help Grandma out right now? Do you want another spanking?" Ye Chen didn't dare raise his voice to Xia Wei, but he glared at Yaya.
Yaya muttered discontentedly, "Doesn't dare bully the big one, only dares bully the small one. Shameless Dad, utterly brazen."
"Hmm? What did you say?" Ye Chen said.
"Nothing," Yaya quickly switched to an innocent and pure, adorable expression, batting her clear, bright eyes. "I was saying a man as handsome and peerless, loved by all, as Dad is truly rare in this world. Grandma and I will go out now, not hindering you and my moms from doing those embarrassing things. Oh, Dad, I forgot to say, when Uncle Heitan left back then, he left behind a few very interesting books, color-illustrated versions with lots of techniques. Should I give them to you? No? Don't worry, Mom Jingruo knows many techniques—Grandma, let's hurry out and let Dad and Mom go make babies."
Yaya whisked Xia Wei away in a flash. If she didn't leave now, she could see Zhao Jingruo glaring, ready to take action.
The bridal chamber finally quieted down. Ye Chen completely shut the door and used world power, Faith Power, willpower, and more to scan the room. Only after repeatedly confirming no one else was present did he heave a sigh of relief.
He then used his strongest power to seal the bridal chamber; no one could barge in now.
Then, he looked at his brides. Likewise, several pairs of affectionate eyes gazed back at him. In this moment, silence spoke louder than words.
"A night of spring is worth a thousand pieces of gold, my ladies. Let's not waste it," Ye Chen said softly, embracing his several lovely wives and directly falling onto the red wedding bed...
Amidst it all, someone cried out. The red bed curtains billowed, blossoming with the most moving brilliance of life.
This day would forever be the most brilliant, most memorable day in Ye Chen's life, one he would never forget until death.
