Collecting Powerful Girlfriends: My Invincible Harem

```

"Hiss... Medusa Queen?!"

Seeing Cai Yan's cold gaze, the two men shivered all over, their expressions becoming somewhat restrained.

Given their experience and insight, it was not hard to see that Cai Yan cared a lot about Xiao Chen and might even have thoughts of becoming his concubine.

But their little tricks last night had added two more women to Xiao Chen's side.

Each one had gotten ahead of this Medusa Queen, and she probably wished she could cut them down on the spot.

However, this chill quickly dissipated. When she saw Xiao Chen looking at her, Cai Yan immediately reined in her aura.

Although she felt a bit uncomfortable, she wouldn't make things difficult for these people.

A little scare was enough; if she made a fuss without reason, Xiao Chen might find her annoying.

"Good morning, Young Master..."

After scaring Xiao Mingyi and Xiao Chixiong, Cai Yan gave Xiao Chen a faint smile.

Her gentle and elegant demeanor made Xiao Mingyi and the others slightly stunned.

Indeed, women are fickle creatures, and the Medusa Queen was no exception.

Only when dealing with someone they cared about would they show a gentle and serene side.

"Good morning..."

Noticing Cai Yan's change, Xiao Chen also smiled faintly.

"Chen, be very careful on your way to Heavenly Capital City."

"If you encounter any danger, remember that preserving your life is the priority; don't act recklessly."

Sensing the awkward atmosphere, Xiao Zhan stepped forward at this moment.

As he spoke, he patted Xiao Chen on the shoulder and handed him a scroll.

"This is a map of the Desolate State. You'll find it useful."

"I'll be careful..."

Xiao Chen took the scroll immediately and nodded solemnly.

He was no fool.

He wouldn't be so stupid as to think that just because Cai Yan was protecting him, he could do whatever he wanted in the Desolate State.

If he really encountered a life-and-death crisis, he would definitely have Cai Yan take him and run.

After all, he only had one life, and staying alive was what mattered!

"Miss Cai Yan, I'll leave Chen in your care on this journey."

Xiao Zhan nodded with relief, then looked at Cai Yan and spoke sincerely.

Seeing the look in this Medusa Queen's eyes, she might very well become one of his daughters-in-law in the future.

So Xiao Zhan's gaze carried a hint of encouragement and kindness, which made Cai Yan pause slightly.

"I will..."

Seemingly understanding the meaning in Xiao Zhan's eyes, Cai Yan responded somewhat awkwardly.

In this courtyard, she didn't care about the other members of the Xiao Family, but Xiao Zhan was the father of Young Master Xiao.

Even as the Medusa Queen, she couldn't lose the respect she should have.

Next.

After some small talk, Xiao Chen prepared to set off.

But when he picked up the map and saw that Heavenly Capital City was over ten thousand miles away from Floating Cloud City, even a Core Formation Realm expert would need two or three days to get there.

Xiao Chen suddenly felt a headache. He was only at the Spirit Aperture Seventh Realm and would need several more days to make the journey.

"If only I had a flying boat..."

As this thought crossed his mind, Xiao Chen couldn't help but mutter.

Unfortunately...

Even the lowest-grade flying boat required Earth Rank materials to build, and its cost far exceeded that of ordinary treasures.

Even the Lin Family in Heavenly Capital City couldn't get a flying boat.

In Floating Cloud City, it was an extremely rare treasure.

"Young Master, hold my hand, and I'll take you flying..."

Just as Xiao Chen was feeling frustrated, Cai Yan suddenly stood beside him, her pretty face slightly red as she turned her head and spoke.

After saying that, she extended her left hand toward Xiao Chen, making him widen his eyes in surprise.

So... proactive?!

"Then I'll trouble Miss Cai Yan..."

After a moment of silence, Xiao Chen smiled faintly and extended his hand.

Her hand was cool and smooth, like soft jade, making Xiao Chen feel a bit strange.

Cai Yan's body trembled slightly, her expression becoming somewhat tense.

Although it wasn't the first time she had physical contact with Xiao Chen, the unusual feeling still made her heart race.

"Young Master, if you don't mind, please call me Cai Yan from now on."

"Calling me Miss Cai Yan feels too distant..."

After a moment of silence, Cai Yan suddenly spoke.

Not only did she surprise Xiao Chen, but she also startled Xiao Zhan and the others.

They hadn't expected this cold Medusa Queen to allow someone to call her by her real name. Was this a hint of something more?

"Young Master, hold on tight..."

The next moment, seemingly a bit embarrassed, Cai Yan added, and her cultivation erupted.

Vast true essence enveloped Xiao Chen, and the two of them soared into the sky in an instant.

With her current cultivation at the Mystic Mastery Third Realm, she could easily fly even without holding Xiao Chen's hand.

But after thinking everything through last night, Cai Yan decided to hold Xiao Chen's hand to foster their relationship.

"It seems my Xiao Family... is going to produce a hero."

"The Medusa Queen's aura is too strong; besides Xiao Chen and the Patriarch, no one can suppress her."

"I should go remind Meier and Ling'er not to compete with her."

Watching the departing figures of Xiao Chen and Cai Yan, Xiao Mingyi and Xiao Chixiong couldn't help but sigh.

Recalling the Medusa Queen's intimidating gaze just now, the two shivered again.

Hmm, a picture of the Queen in her younger days dressed as a bunny girl would be nice.

…………

Time flew by like a fleeting horse, and two days passed in the blink of an eye.

The Lin Family in Heavenly Capital City was in a state of panic, and Lin Yao had aged ten years in these two days.

"Patriarch, the Young Master has returned and is now in the council hall!"

As Lin Yao pondered how to stabilize the Lin Family's various industries as quickly as possible, a steward excitedly walked into the study.

"And there's more good news: the Young Master has brought his master back with him!"

"What?!"

Hearing the middle-aged man's words, Lin Yao abruptly stood up, his face showing excitement.

Lin Feng's master was an inner elder of the Supreme Sword Sect, with a cultivation at the Nirvana Seventh Realm.

In the entire Desolate State, he was considered a strong expert.

If this person helped the Lin Family, they might be able to destroy the Xiao Family in Floating Cloud City.

Even if they couldn't win, with his status in the Supreme Sword Sect, he could mobilize even stronger experts.

At that point, even if the Xiao Family had a Heaven Rank Formation Array as their trump card, they would be reduced to ashes before the Supreme Sword Sect!

"Come, follow me to welcome Feng'er and his master!"

With this thought, Lin Yao quickly walked toward the council hall, almost tripping over himself in his haste.
