Chapter 486: 486
As Xuefeng and the girls entered the dining room, he thought it would be awkward but to their surprise, everyone was happily chatting while eating . They wouldn't notice their presence if not for Little Mei who stood up from her seat and called out immediately .

"Xuefeng! You are back!"
Everyone stopped talking and looked in their direction but no one commented on their long absence . He looked at Yiren who probably suffered but she seemed fine, feeding her fluffy bunny on her lap .
"Xuefeng, girls, come eat before food gets cold," his mother invited them to the table, showing a gentle smile and returned to the conversation . "So do you really think we can allocate some lingerie to your Holy Land? We opened another production line so we should be able to supply another shop . "
Only then did Xuefeng realize there was another person in the room, sitting on his seat .
Tangwei .
"Yes, Ma'am . I can order our architects to finish the shop by tomorrow . I'm sure our females will love it . They are not really interested in battles or fighting so our auction doesn't interest them . Once we add lingerie for women, they will go crazy for it," Tangwei described excitedly .
"Good . We can settle it," Mu Lan decided with a smile, being the one in charge of the shops .
Meanwhile, Xuefeng pulled the chair for Wuying and approached their own seats . There was only one free left so he naturally gave it to Tianshi . Tangwei noticed that and seemed to realize she took his seat as she quickly stood up .
"I'm sorry . I took your seat . Please si—" Tangwei acted friendly yet polite but Xuefeng cut her off, putting her back on the chair .

"You should sit and eat . I'm fine," Xuefeng assured her as he reached out for a snack on the table and popped it into his mouth . "This gentleman will stand . "
Tangwei didn't argue with him and simple accepted it with a smile . "Thank you . "
"Don't be . You are after all the one working hard . I'm mostly playing around," Xuefeng said with a shrug, knowing he was the least active member on their clan .
Thanks to Ling and Ming, everything came really easily so he didn't even need to train too hard . All he did was face slap Royal Family and play with his wives so he didn't pretend he was the boss .
"What are we talking about?" he added to move on from the topic .
"Right after you three left, Tangwei came and we talked about the daily report . Things has been moving so fast that we need to discuss daily," Liu Xiaobei explained . "Do you want us to repeat for you?"
"No need . I trust you . Just continue and I will just listen from the side," Xuefeng shook his head, knowing he wouldn't know much anyway .
Just as he thought, the stuff they talked about bored him in a few minutes, making him glad he rejected his father proposal . Xuefeng knew he wouldn't be a good Clan Leader . Being free and adventuring with his wives was definitely much better for him .
As they talked about the business exchanges with the holy land, Nuwa joined them as well, negotiating as the representative of her race . Out of boredom, he started eating until he spotted someone gazing at him .

He turned to the side and noticed Little Mei who turned her head away, pretending she didn't look . A second later, she peeked at him again but this time their gazes met . She didn't look away this time but she blushed, acting as if she was debating on something in her mind .
Before he could question her, she suddenly stood up and grabbed him by the hand, pulling him away from the table .
"Xuefeng, come with me for a second . I want to tell you something," Little Mei commanded without turning back and they left the dining hall .
She halted behind the doors and gazed up into his eyes . She still lacked a lot of centimeters of height to face him properly but she was growing with each day .
"What is it?" Xuefeng broke the silence, making Little Mei visually nervous .
Despite the shyness, she took a deep breath and asked, "Do you remember the promise you gave me…? You said you will take me to the Heaven Realm if I reach Monarch Stage before your departure . Is that still valid?"
"Oh, it is, of course," Xuefeng nodded eagerly, already guessing what Little Mei wanted . "I will keep my promise but you should know by now that the time of our departure is closing . "
He knew she had little chance to make it so he didn't want to give her false hope . It was good to have a goal that could motivate her but he didn't want to use her feelings anymore .
"Mhmm, I know," Little Mei nodded unbothered . "I just wanted to know if you keep your promise . I'm improving really fast so I needed to confirm . "
"That's great . As long as you work hard, there is nothing impossible . You have Wu Kong who can accompany you in training . Make sure he doesn't slack too," Xuefeng cheered for her as he patted her head . "Just make sure you rest too . "

"I will," Little Mei agreed immediately, closing her eyes in joy .
"Shall we return—"
Xuefeng thought their conversation was over and wished to go back inside yet she cut him off, stopping him by grabbing onto his arm . "Wait . There is one more thing . "
"Yes?"
"I want to make sure that you will come back home before you leave to Heaven Realm," Little Mei stated .
"You mean after our mission in a few days? Of course I will be back," Xuefeng replied without much thought, considering it obvious . "I won't leave to Heaven Realm without saying goodbye to my parents and everyone in the clan, including you . "
"Pinky promise?" Little Mei extended her finger, similarly as the first time they met during the Spirit Awakening Ceremony .
He smiled from that memory and grabbed her pinky with his own .
"I will pinky promise only if you stay a good girl and work hard for yourself . Don't cultivate for me . " Xuefeng gave her conditions to which she immediately shook his hand, not even hesitating .
"Deal . "
They returned to the dining hall after their little trade and he obviously received some strange looks from his wives, seeing how happy Little Mei was . When the diner was over, they naturally asked him about it so he recounted what they talked about . For him it was nothing but his wives seemed to be suspicious .
"She definitely has a crush on you… Poor girl . She will get hurt once we leave," Tianshi commented sadily . "I feel bad for her . "
"Me too, but there is nothing we can do . I already tried to prepare her for that . " Xuefeng shrugged, knowing she might stop training if he rejects Little Mei completely so he chose the lesser evil . "We will be leaving once we are all ready to advance . "
"Yes," his wives fully agreed and walked towards the bed as they reached their room .
When he saw their tricks, he couldn't help but grin . "Talking about this, it's time to train . Don't ever think about going to sleep now . "
"Noooo…" Everyone disagreed unwilling but he quickly shut them down with one argument .
"Little Mei works so hard yet you think about slacking . At this point, she might even overtake some of you . She is like what, almost thirteen yet she already reached Overlord Stage . She might even join us to Heaven Realm . "
His wives exchanged glances and they quickly sat down cross-legged, pulling out the rewards from the trials .
"We will train," they announced united .
