When she said those words, her cold and stunning face still carried a gentle smile, yet the invisible pressure she radiated made the women feel immense strain.
Previously, although these women each had their own strengths and unique charms, none of them held an absolute advantage over the others. As a result, a delicate balance had been maintained.
But today, a woman who subtly outshone them in almost every aspect had appeared.
More fatally, this woman's personality was just as domineering and forceful.
It was like a peaceful marine ecosystem suddenly invaded by a great white shark—no matter what kind of fish you were, it would kill you all the same.
Objectively speaking, the woman before them truly possessed the bearing of a harem matriarch. Yet no woman was willing to suddenly have someone placed above her head to manage and restrain her.
When it came to this kind of battle, only Ya Fei and Yao Ye could be relied upon to hold the line.
Ya Fei paused slightly, then looked at Cai Lin with a seemingly gentle expression and said calmly,"It's not that we're unwilling to welcome you, Sister. It's just that we've all grown accustomed to living freely. We truly don't wish to be constrained."
"With someone as strong-willed as you, Sister—if you were to become the head of the harem, I'm afraid the rest of us wouldn't have very easy days."
Her words were tactful, but the rejection behind them was unmistakably clear.
Seeing the women's resistance so clearly, even Xiao Yan hadn't expected things to unfold like this. Just as he was about to speak, Cai Lin beat him to it.
"No matter. I only want the title," she said lightly. "I won't interfere too much in your actual affairs."
Upon hearing this, the naïve Nalan Yanran and Little Doctor Fairy immediately relaxed. But Ya Fei and Yao Ye's expressions grew even more grim.
They weren't fools—who didn't know how empty promises worked?
At that moment, Yun Yun—the strongest among them—suddenly stepped forward.
"I don't agree."
She spoke slowly,"The affairs of the Jiama Empire can be handled by the Jiama Empire itself. Her Majesty the Queen would do better to manage her Snake-People Tribe."
The moment those words were spoken, the air was instantly filled with gunpowder.
Cai Lin narrowed her slender eyes and looked at Yun Yun calmly."Seems Sect Master Yun isn't convinced."
Yun Yun didn't reply, but her stance spoke volumes.
"Care to spar?" Cai Lin said casually.
"Gladly." Yun Yun showed no fear.
Moments later, the two women appeared high above Yunlan Sect.
Xiao Yan opened his mouth, but found he had nothing to say.
He truly hadn't expected the women's resistance toward Cai Lin to be this intense. Faced with this great white shark, they could no longer sit still.
Looks like it was time for the next move.
As Xiao Yan was thinking this, the two women had already exchanged blows.
The outcome, of course, was obvious.
Yun Yun—who hadn't even reached peak Dou Huang—was no match for Cai Lin.
As Cai Lin's aura as a Nine-Star Dou Zong erupted, the women's faces all changed dramatically. Even in today's Yan Alliance, unless a Dou Zun intervened, there were almost no experts who could contend with Cai Lin.
In just a single exchange, Yun Yun's slender neck was seized by Cai Lin's long, jade-like fingers.
"You—" Shock filled Yun Yun's beautiful face.
In her memory, Queen Medusa had only been at peak Dou Huang. Even if she had broken through to Dou Zong, Yun Yun believed she could still put up a fight.
Yet the strength Cai Lin displayed far exceeded her expectations.
"I already said I won't interfere in your affairs," Cai Lin said indifferently, her gaze sweeping over the women before finally settling on Xiao Yan."You'd better think this through properly."
"If it weren't for this guy, I wouldn't even bother with being some so-called head of the harem."
Seeing Yun Yun defeated so swiftly, complex emotions surfaced on the women's faces. Xiao Yan could still sense their reluctance.
But that didn't matter.
He still had another card to play.
That evening, after arranging Cai Lin's residence, Xiao Yan went to the area where the Xiao Clan members lived and eventually found Xiao Mei.
"Mei'er, my good little cousin," Xiao Yan said with a beaming smile as he approached.
Seeing Xiao Yan come to her on his own initiative, Xiao Mei's eyes lit up—then she immediately turned her head away in a huff.
"Hmph! Brother Xiao Yan hasn't come to see Mei'er for so long. You must've already drowned yourself in those fox spirits' arms!"
"And judging by your expression, you're definitely here because you need something. Hmph—Brother only remembers me when it's useful. In your heart, I'll never compare to those sisters-in-law."
"Oh, this familiar taste of green tea," Xiao Yan thought to himself. Early summer had just arrived, and he was already being served something this strong—bad for the stomach.
Still, thinking of his goal, he smiled and gently rubbed Xiao Mei's head."How could that be? Brother's always been thinking of you."
"Really?" Xiao Mei looked at him with bright, alluring eyes.
"Really." Xiao Yan nodded solemnly, then suddenly said,"Mei'er, Brother Xiao Yan has run into a big problem lately. I need your help to solve it."
The moment he said that, Xiao Mei became unhappy again.
"Mmm~ giegie, you're so bad!"
"This tea is way too strong…" Xiao Yan ignored her coquettish act and explained the situation to her. After listening, Xiao Mei shook her head vigorously.
"No way! You want me to say those things to that group of fox spirits? I won't do it!"
"Don't rush," Xiao Yan said calmly. "Back then, I refined a Heavenly Thunder Body-Tempering Pill for you. I just forgot to give it to you."
As he spoke, he stuffed a small jade bottle straight into Xiao Mei's chest.
Before long, Xiao Mei appeared at the residence where Xiao Yan's women lived.
"So I hear you've gone head-to-head with Queen Medusa?" Xiao Mei said, her voice dripping with fake sweetness."Sisters, you really don't know what's good for you—missing out on such a powerful ally."
"What do you mean by that?" Ya Fei asked despite her dislike for Xiao Mei.
"What do I mean?" Xiao Mei smiled. "Did Brother Xiao Yan not tell you that he already has a fiancée in Central Plains?"
Nalan Yanran's face instantly changed, sorrow appearing in her delicate features. The position of the main wife should have been hers.
"Brother Xiao Yan's fiancée is the precious jewel of an ancient clan," Xiao Mei continued."The Gu Clan—second only to our Xiao Clan in power. Dou Zun experts are a dime a dozen there, and even Dou Sheng aren't rare. She herself is a heaven-blessed genius of that clan."
Xiao Mei then moved on to Yun Yun's room.
"I'm not looking down on you, Sisters," she said lightly. "But even if you were all tied together, you still wouldn't match a single finger of hers."
Under Xiao Mei's persuasion, Xun'er's terrifying strength and background took shape in the women's minds.
They suddenly realized—this was an enemy they could never resist.
Even the strongest among them, Cai Lin, was no match for that woman.
Even more devastating was the fact that she carried an official engagement backed by two superpowers—a destined position in the harem that no one could compete with.
Faced with this even greater threat, even Cai Lin felt intense pressure. The woman named Gu Xun'er quickly became the catalyst that forced the women into unity.
In the small courtyard, Xiao Mei looked at Xiao Yan with concern."The sisters-in-law only care about their own safety. They don't even think about helping Brother with his troubles."
"They're so bad—unlike me. I only feel sorry for giegie."
"Yes, yes," Xiao Yan nodded seriously, the corners of his lips curling upward.
With Xiao Mei's cup of "green tea" stirring things up, and under the overwhelming pressure of Xun'er, the Northwest Continent harem—headed by Cai Lin—was finally formed in truth.
With this settled, Xiao Yan could finally head to Canaan Academy in peace to seek a new Heavenly Flame.
