In his previous life, Ye Chen had several beloved women: Chen'er, Yi Wu, Zhao Jingruo, and Yu Qing. Their names were beautiful, and they themselves were even more stunning. Each was a peerless beauty with countless suitors across the world. Like plum, orchid, chrysanthemum, and peony, each had her own unique charm. They had met, gotten to know, fallen in love, and walked together with him from his weakest days. Their feelings ran deep; he could not bear to part with any of them.
Or perhaps it was more accurate to call them his fiancées, as they had already pledged their troth, promising to stay together for a lifetime.
If there was anyone he felt most sorry for upon his death in his previous life, it was these women. Each had placed profound feelings in him. His sudden departure must have been a tremendous blow to them. He had always felt guilty in his heart. After awakening in this life, he had considered what he would do when he met them again, whether he could face them.
But no matter what, his feelings for them were genuine and true.
Now, hearing that they were not doing well, his heart trembled, and he hurriedly asked how they were.
Ya Ya's eyes, as clear as autumn water, welled up with mist as she spoke softly, on the verge of tears: "When they learned of your death, Daddy, Chen'er Mama fainted on the spot. Yi Wu Mama almost fainted too, her face streaked with tears, just standing there in a daze. Even the strongest, Jingruo Mama, was so shocked her face turned deathly pale, her body trembling as she collapsed to the ground."
"Although they recovered quickly during that period and appeared normal to the outside world, I knew the mamas were merely putting on a brave face, not wanting others to worry. In private, they often wept, having a very hard time. They would often sit together at night, gazing blankly at the starry sky, sitting through the entire night."
"They even had spirit tablets carved with your name, Daddy, which the mamas kept with them day and night, unwilling to let go. Although they had many outstanding suitors, they always considered themselves your widows..."
As Ya Ya spoke, Ye Chen's heart trembled incessantly, his slender fingers clenching until they turned white. He could imagine how devastating his departure must have been for them, each suffering a terrible blow to the soul. There is no sorrow greater than a dead heart, and this was precisely that.
He seemed to see the scenes from back then: how the adorable, innocent Chen'er fainted from heartache; the beautiful and graceful Yi Wu's expression of utter desolation, her heart dead; the peerlessly beautiful and enchanting goddess Zhao Jingruo, unable to withstand the blow, her face pale.
Their feelings for him were sincere and profound. Clearly, they were all beauties who could topple kingdoms and captivate the world, peerless in their grace and charm, with countless outstanding talents pursuing them. Yet they all declined, considering themselves Qian Yue's widows, carrying his spirit tablet with them, constantly missing him, using it to remember him, staying together with him day and night.
This depth of affection could not be said to be shallow.
Ye Chen's heart trembled, filled with immense guilt. He had failed them time and again, hurting their hearts, making them feel despair. How could he face them when they met again?
Beside him, Wang Shan was also shocked. He naturally knew of his senior sister's several mothers. Each was a truly renowned, peerless proud daughter of heaven across the world, possessing beauty that could overthrow cities and captivate nations, matchless in all the world.
If Ya Ya still showed some youthful innocence, she was blossoming into extraordinary beauty, destined to become one of the most beautiful women in the world one day, while her three mothers were already among the most beautiful.
Moreover, their statuses were lofty and extraordinary beyond reach.
Take the goddess Zhao Jingruo, for instance. She ascended from the lower realm to the Upper Realm alongside Ye Chen's previous incarnation, Qian Yue. Throughout history, those capable of ascending from the lower realm to the myriad realms of the Upper Realm were all stunningly talented prodigies, highly sought after by major powers.
Because of this status as an ascender, and her truly outstanding talent, she was noticed by the supreme great sect at the center of the Myriad Domains, the Tai Chu Sacred Land. An ancestor-level existence personally took her into the Sacred Land to teach her cultivation, focusing on nurturing her. She was even granted the status of a Saintess, destined to marry the Sacred Land's Saint and become his partner.
But the goddess was too dazzling and too domineering. After entering the Sacred Land, she rose rapidly, demonstrating the advantages of an ascender. Her progress was divine, entering a period of great eruption. She soon attained Sainthood, becoming a generation's female Saint.
She even forcefully defeated the contemporary Saint, suppressing him, never viewing him as a future husband. She even swept through the Tai Chu Sacred Land, and within just a few decades, surpassed all others, stunning the world, becoming the Saint Lord of the Tai Chu Sacred Land. Highly valued by various ancestors, she wielded the immortal authority of this supreme Sacred Land.
Now, her cultivation was astonishing to the world. As the master of a supreme Sacred Land, she presided over the rise and fall of the world, also one of the most watched and beautiful women in the world. Countless prodigies and talents from the Myriad Domains pursued her. Even the beloved great-grandson of an ancient Great Sage from another supreme Sacred Land sought her hand in marriage. It was said she had also stepped into the Reincarnation realm, capable of contending with Immortal True Kings.
Chen'er, a girl as stunning and transcendent as a banished immortal, remained pure-hearted as ever, her heart untainted by the mortal world, eternally innocent. She was an adorable, lovely woman, somewhat similar to Ya Ya.
Her origins were mysterious. Born alongside a Heaven and Earth Sacred Lotus, she could commune with the spirits of heaven and earth, transcendent and extraordinary. She was noticed by the master of another supreme Sacred Land at the center of the Myriad Domains, the Yao Chi Sacred Land's Yao Chi Holy Mother, who took her as a disciple. Though not a Saintess, her status was no less than one, even possessing many privileges within the Yao Chi Sacred Land.
Many ancestors within the Sacred Land valued her greatly. She was also a peerless female immortal in the Myriad Domains, hailed as one of the most beautiful people in the world.
Yi Wu, the ethereal and graceful dancing goddess, also hailed from the lower realm. It is worth mentioning that she was Qian Yue's, Ye Chen's previous incarnation, childhood sweetheart and first love. They met in their youth, admiring and liking each other, going through a series of stories. They had separated once, causing Qian Yue great sorrow, thinking he had been betrayed. But it was ultimately Yi Wu's love, unwilling to let him get hurt, that had long since been resolved.
Her feelings for Qian Yue ran deep. She would rather sacrifice herself to protect Qian Yue's peace for a lifetime. Her background was no weaker than that of a supreme Sacred Land in the Myriad Domains, coming from an Overlord-level major power in the lower realm that possessed ancient Great Sages. She herself was also an invincible powerhouse at the Immortal True King level, though she always maintained a low profile.
Later, she rose rapidly. Without joining any faction, her cultivation shook heaven and earth, sweeping through her generation unmatched. The world called her the Goddess's Daughter. She was also acquainted with the goddess Zhao Jingruo, Chen'er, and a group of invincible kings from the past generation. Furthermore, she had close ties with the supreme Sacred Land organization for ascenders, the Myriad Worlds Palace, thus also making waves across the world.
It could be said that each of these three women was not only among the most beautiful in the world but also among the most dazzling and watched. Each was famous throughout the Myriad Domains, pursued by countless talented suitors. Even some Immortal True Kings had expressed hopes of becoming Dao companions, accompanying each other on the long path of cultivation, jointly contending for the position of Human Sovereign.
Who could have imagined that these three were all beloved women of the former Forbidden Lineage's Tenth Heaven Supreme One, Qian Yue, having long since pledged their hearts? If this were to spread, who knows how many hearts would break.
