Free Web NovelChapter 120: Chapter 89: Shawu Finally Gets Her Wish
After he finished speaking, the old man clapped his hands. A delicate and slender young woman in a white dress gracefully approached. She had refined features and fair skin, her head slightly bowed as her face flushed red.
"Greetings, Brother Mu." After bowing, the young woman’s face and ears were completely red.
"What? This is—" Mu Yao was stunned.
’But I’m a woman. What am I supposed to do with a wife?’
"I know. My granddaughter has had a weak constitution since childhood, so she might not be able to help you produce an heir."
But the old man misunderstood. He clapped his hands again and said, "Don’t worry. When the time comes, I will have these healthy and loyal twins, Chun Hua and Qiuyue,
accompany the bride as your Maids!
They will help you bear children and continue your family line!"
As he spoke, two beautiful young maids stepped forward gracefully. "Greetings, Crown Prince."
Mu Yao felt a major headache coming on.
’As expected of the Crown Prince,’ Xu Lei couldn’t help but sigh to himself as he watched from the side.
All three of these young women were fair-skinned, beautiful, and exceptionally attractive.
On any college campus back on Earth, every single one of them would be hailed as a campus queen!
But now, all three were to be married to Mu Yao at once!
「An hour later.」
Mu Yao, of course, had agreed.
After dealing with the young women for a bit, she declared that she was mentally and physically exhausted.
"I seek the Living Buddha’s comfort." Afterwards, she lay prostrate before Xu Lei, looking back at him with a pitiful expression.
"Amitabha Buddha." Xu Lei wasted no words, wrapping his arms around her slender waist. "Patron, you have endured much."
「A month later.」
With the help of the clan elders, Mu Yao had successfully secured her position and eliminated all dissenters.
Her enemies had thought their mission accomplished with her brother’s death, but they never imagined Mu Yao would take his place. She caught them completely off guard, leading to their utter defeat.
On this day, however, Mu Yao discovered she was having morning sickness.
"Living Buddha, I’m pregnant! I’m carrying your child!"
She was both stunned and overjoyed. Then she said, "In that case, the wedding must be held as soon as possible.
When the time comes, I must ask the Living Buddha to take my place in the bridal chamber and bestow an heir through Charitable Giving.
Otherwise, I’m afraid my secret will be exposed."
"Amitabha Buddha."
Xu Lei said, "My Buddha is merciful. Since you ask, Patron, I will naturally do my best."
’For now, in this world, I can’t act as Zen Master Bu Zhong because I don’t want to expose my Phoenix True Flame.
To ensure my safety, I’ll need to have children in multiple places, just as a clever rabbit has three burrows.
In that case, once I’ve completed the Charitable Giving with these women, I’ll have established the first of my burrows.’
"They’re getting lucky," Mu Yao said, "receiving the Living Buddha’s Charitable Giving out of thin air."
"Living Buddha, the physician took my pulse earlier and said that Shawu is with child!"
At that moment, Cheng Shawu herself approached gracefully and asked, "I, Shawu, am carrying your child!
This is a joyous occasion. It is my highest honor to be able to bear a child for the Living Buddha.
But this child in my womb... what status will they have in this world after they are born?"
"Miss Shawu, you’re pregnant too?" Mu Yao was slightly stunned to hear this.
"Too?" Cheng Shawu was confused. "Your Highness, who else is pregnant at this time?"
Mu Yao had already ascended; she was no longer the Crown Prince, but the Prince.
"The wife of a subordinate, the wife of a subordinate."
Mu Yao hastily explained, "What a coincidence. Just a coincidence."
"Amitabha Buddha."
At this, Xu Lei also spoke up. "The arrival of heirs is a joyous matter.
However, given my status, it is inconvenient for me to take a wife myself.
Patron Shawu, if you are willing, you could also enter the Prince’s Mansion as a Princess Consort. What do you think?
However, I’m afraid you cannot hold the position of the primary Princess Consort.
You will have to accept the position of Concubine Ping in the Prince’s Mansion!
You will hold the rank of Consort Ping!"
Cheng Shawu looked at Mu Yao in surprise.
"Although I am the Prince, I am still the Living Buddha’s Attendant."
Mu Yao also said, "I will obey any command from the Living Buddha.
If Miss Shawu is willing, you may enter the Prince’s Mansion and become a consort.
Of course, I will not lay a single finger on you, Miss Shawu. We will be husband and wife in name only.
However, all the honor and prestige that comes with being a Princess Consort will, of course, be yours."
"Shawu, too, will forever be the Living Buddha’s Attendant."
Cheng Shawu was overjoyed. Of course she was willing.
If this happened, she wouldn’t just be restoring her former honor and status—she would be far exceeding them.
So she said in a sweet voice, "I will obey all of the Living Buddha’s commands. If the Living Buddha wishes for Shawu to marry, then Shawu shall marry."
Xu Lei nodded.
’I’ll have some children here in the Prince’s Mansion,’ he thought.
’And raise my Cultivation at the same time.’
’After that, I can go kill that Old Daoist Nun.’
’And then leave behind some children in other places, too.’
