What! The Wives in My Dreams Are Real? novel Chapter 991

991 /1309

When Xu Nanqiao—who had just been battling them—threw herself into Ye Yu’s arms, Shangguan Jiujiu, Dong Kui, and Jiang Yumo were already completely unfazed.

Great, it looked like another sister.

Although Zhuo Lanqing felt a bit bewildered, she could more or less guess what was happening.

But Ye Huilan flared up like a mad beast and began to roar furiously.

“Stop! Let go at once—she’s my sister-in-law! Why are you clinging to this man?”

With that, Ye Huilan surged forward, intending to separate Ye Yu and Xu Nanqiao on the spot.

Before she could get close, an invisible shockwave slammed her into the clouds of auspicious vapor, sending her sprawling to the ground.

The pain radiating from her back did nothing to clear her head.

She glared at Xuan Chongzi and spat, “Little brother, are you blind? Our immortal companion is in his arms and he’s bullying your sister—aren’t you going to do anything about it?”

The lord of the Nirvana Pagoda sect looked awkward.

“All right, sister, that’s enough. I don’t even know this demoness!”

At those words, Ye Huilan froze in place.

Her eyes went lifeless as she muttered, “You don’t know her? Then why did you admit it just now?”

At this, Xu Nanqiao’s gaze turned ice-cold as she looked at Xuan Chongzi.

Exactly—if he didn’t know her, why did he pretend? Why impersonate my beloved? Did he think the lord of an entire demonic realm could be deceived at will?

Xuan Chongzi shot Ye Huilan a glare and spoke via inner-voice transmission, “If you hadn’t said that this demoness would be a great asset to our sect, why would I have admitted it? It was better to let the mistake stand... but things have gone too far. So perhaps you should speak less!”

Ye Huilan was rendered speechless.

Indeed, the only reason she had fought so hard to claim Xu Nanqiao as her “sister-in-law” was to drive their opponent away and seize the treasure hidden in the sect’s ruins. Nothing more.

Her obsession had blinded her.

She had once succumbed to a heart-devil from her greedy ambition; although she had exorcised it promptly, it seemed her heart-devil still lingered.

Now fully lucid, Ye Huilan clenched her eyes shut and fell silent.

Xuan Chongzi—ever the practical one—realized the situation was no longer in his favor and decisively said, “Let today’s matter end here. I will return and investigate everything; then I shall seek your guidance. Farewell!”

Clearly, he intended to flee. It was his only choice. Dong Kui and Jiang Yumo both rivaled Immortal Kings in power, and with Ye Yu and Xu Nanqiao added to their side, fighting four against one would spell certain death. Fleeing was sensible.

But Xu Nanqiao blocked his path at once, her voice cold: “You say you don’t know me—then why did you claim to be Ye Yu just now? You owe us an explanation!”
