My gorgeous wife Chapter 2206 - 2174: Family

As the title of the Strongest in the Starry Sky echoed across the Four Great Realms, this very strongest, the Red Dust Celestial, was squatting lackadaisically in a corner of the wall.

Squatting beside him was Li Changcun, who had a gloating expression on his face.

"I say, you’re quite the unqualified old man, aren’t you? Not only do you neglect your son, but you also push him into the fire pit?" Li Chen looked at Li Changcun beside him, speaking with an annoyed tone.

"Heh heh." Li Changcun gave a sly laugh, casting a sidelong glance at a group of women not far away who seemed to be discussing something, and then looked at Li Chen with a mischievous smile. "Who’s to blame when you’re so good at attracting women? I don’t mind; the more you marry, the merrier. It helps to expand the Li Family tree."

"Expand the family tree?" Li Chen pointed at the bump on his head, angrily saying, "I’m almost getting cracked open by them!"

Although it was Li Chen’s first time arriving at the Borderland Realm, given his status, there was naturally no need for any restraint anymore. He was exempt from all sorts of checks like border inspections, thanks to the two Ninth-Order Heavenly Venerates.

At the same time, they gave Li Chen a title so grand it could scare someone to death, indicating he could roam freely anywhere in the Borderland Realm.

Li Chen didn’t have much interest in roaming around and immediately sought out his relatives in the Borderland Realm.

Then, Li Chen discovered Lin Xiaoxiao, An Qin, and Wang Qianqian were all present, instinctively glancing at Lin Yi, Yang Xin, and Bai Tianyi, who were all curiously looking around. He instinctively wanted to make a getaway.

But before he could slip away, Lin Yi grabbed him by the back of his collar.

Lin Yi didn’t show much emotion, simply introducing Yang Xin to the ladies: "You’ll all be sisters from now on."

But just that one sentence brought disaster upon Li Chen.

Originally, after not seeing each other for years, everyone should have been moved to tears—it would’ve fit the story better!

However, the Strongest in the Starry Sky, Lord Red Dust Celestial, hadn’t been seen in years, but was chased down half a city by several women wielding hammers.

Lord Red Dust Celestial, who had only ever beaten enemies, almost had his head truly smashed by these women this time.

Rubbing the bump on his head, Li Chen grimaced, not daring to heal it, fearing the women might see it and decide to smash him again.

Li Changcun laughed gloatingly: "The women you’ve attracted, you have to endure even if you end up kneeling."

Li Chen was furious.

"Right." After a bit of nonsensical chatting between father and son, Li Chen asked, "What exactly was the meaning behind giving me this name back in the day? Red Dust Celestial, no matter how I hear it, it sounds kind of feminine."

’No way.’ Li Changcun disdainfully curled his lips: "This name is so imposing, but the key to being imposing is that you must have the strength to intimidate others. Now, don’t you have that strength? Everyone outside calls you the Strongest in the Starry Sky now."

"To hell with the Strongest in the Starry Sky," Li Chen swore. "Isn’t it obvious that someone is setting me up, trying to make those reclusive old monsters come looking for trouble?"

Li Changcun gave Li Chen a sidelong glance: "You’ve done something so big and want to just up and leave? For what you’ve done, you must be mentally prepared to bear the consequences."

"Enough of this." Li Chen waved a hand, steering the off-track conversation back: "Since you think the title Red Dust is so impressive, why didn’t you just name me Li Red Dust in the first place?"

"Are you stupid?" Li Changcun scorned without mercy: "A title sounds impressive, but if that were your name, then you’d really sound like a woman. Besides, doesn’t your current name sound convenient and simple?"

"So you just wanted convenience?!" Li Chen’s face began to twitch.

"Not entirely." Li Changcun shook his head: "Always liking things neat and tidy is a sickness. Back then, I felt like I was pretty severely sick, so I changed your name from three characters to two. But after reaching the Heaven Realm, it still felt uncomfortable, so I gave You Xue a three-character name."

Li Chen finally couldn’t hold back and shouted angrily: "You old fool, did you give me this name back then just to treat your late-stage obsessive-compulsive disorder?!"

"So that’s called obsessive-compulsive disorder." Li Changcun suddenly realized: "So in modern medicine, they’ve researched this condition?"

Li Chen’s eye twitched, suddenly looking at Lieu Zhanxiao, who was leaning against the wall, scratching his sword body with a backscratcher from who knows where: "Senior Lieu, I’ve suddenly realized that one should keep promises. Otherwise, do we just team up and beat this guy up now?"

"Good idea!" Lieu Zhanxiao’s half-transparent spiritual body lit up, casually tossing aside the backscratcher, submerging back into the sword, and flying over to Li Chen.

Seeing the unfavorable situation, Li Changcun immediately fled without hesitation, smearing oil on his feet!

Using the Divine Power of Shrinking Earth to Inches, Li Changcun disappeared in just one step.

Leaving Li Chen standing there, dumbfounded.

Actually, he wanted to run too, but before he could make his next move, he noticed several gazes filled with killing intent directed at him.

"Trying to run again?!" An Qin squinted her eyes, cold air faintly emanating from her body.

"Um... you’ve misunderstood. I was just planning to go to the bathroom." Li Chen forced a laugh: "No worries, no worries, ladies, continue chatting, I can hold it."

Watching them chat, especially Lin Xiaoxiao and An Qin, who gave Li Chen a creepy smile now and then while talking, made him feel uneasy all over.

Wang Qianqian was fine; her nature was relatively gentle, so Li Chen wasn’t particularly worried about this girl.

Yang Xin, as the newest member of this family, conducted herself well, with no confrontations arising, and they had known each other from their time in the minor world, so there was no making things difficult for her.

With the added nonsensical jests from the innocent Bai Tianyi and Li Youxue’s arrival to establish good relations with her sisters-in-law, the scene was relatively harmonious.

But Lin Yi, who was like a Bodhisattva, rarely spoke, yet whenever she did, it commanded the women’s silent attention, intimidating Li Chen.

Especially the occasional glance in his direction, which, while not as laden with killing intent as those from Lin Xiaoxiao and An Qin, still increased Li Chen’s anxiety.

Red Dust Celestial, the so-called Strongest under the Starry Sky, at this moment was terrified into immobility, only able to keep bantering with the now sword-form Senior Lieu.

Outside the hall, Li Changcun hovered in mid-air, overlooking the vast palace below, shaking his head: "Son, it’s not that your old dad isn’t helping you. You’re on your own."

He chuckled lightly twice.

It had been a long, long time since he had laughed so easily.

Turning his head, he looked toward an unknown distance: "The children are finally reunited, the third son didn’t let me down and finally grew up. Even I, as the father, can’t compare. Heh heh... Zhi Qiu, soon, I’ll come find you. This time, I will surely find you, will surely bring our family truly together."

There was a trace of warmth in Li Changcun’s eyes, but more so, a resolution.

"A family..."
