Ye Yu had understood something for a long time:

    Finding one girlfriend is already risky because you never know if the relationship will last.

    But finding two? That’s dangerous—you never know when they’ll run into each other.

    And now, Ye Yu found himself in an extremely dangerous situation.

    Eight of his wives from the dream world were gathered together in one place.

    Among them were an empress, a great demon, a sect leader, a mermaid, a clan head, a celestial reincarnation—basically, he had every possible title covered.

    And to top it off, one of them was a yandere.

    In this situation, it was nearly impossible to manage.

    Especially when all of them were gazing at him expectantly.

    This was the real challenge—because ultimately, choices had to be made.

    Even something as simple as who to greet first was a delicate matter. Neglecting anyone would hurt feelings.

    Treating everyone equally? Impossible!

    Trying to keep everyone satisfied was a hopeless fantasy.

    So Ye Yu reminded himself again and again to stay calm and confident.

    If he showed any sign of weakness, these eight wives would be impossible to handle.

    He quickly thought through his options.

    In a steady voice, he said, “Ladies, we’ve all met at least once before, some of you even more than once. So, I believe most of you understand the concept of parallel worlds.”

    He paused, his gaze settling on Gan Zhizui.

    “But you, Zhui’er, this must be our first time meeting in person.”

    Hearing this, Gan Zhizui’s face lit up with a soft smile.

    Within her mind, her inner voice, Gan Duoduo, asked curiously, “Sister, what does he mean by ‘parallel world’?”

    “It doesn’t matter,” Gan Zhizui replied, gazing at Ye Yu with affection. “What matters is that he remembers us.”

    Meanwhile, Li Ruowang frowned slightly.

    The first name he mentioned wasn’t hers, but another woman’s.@@@@

    This didn’t sit well with her.

    She pursed her lips, feeling as though Ye Yu owed her an explanation.

    From the side, Ruan Lianyue chimed in softly, “Sister, stop pretending. You and Sister Li were just exchanging cold looks, with expressions dramatic enough for a whole show. Anyone could tell you were exchanging messages and arguing. All that was missing was an actual fight!”

    Upon hearing this, Li Ruowang and Zuo Yingchun’s faces turned red with embarrassment.

    Was it really that obvious?

    They looked around and noticed Yun Ciwu, Bu Lingfei, and the others all watching them with amused smiles.

    Ye Yu’s voice grew colder. “I’ll deal with you two later.”

    Li Ruowang and Zuo Yingchun immediately bowed their heads in silence.

    Seeing this, Ye Yu felt a small sense of relief.

    As long as he managed these two troublemakers, the rest should be manageable.

    So far, he had made it through more than seventy percent of this “battlefield” situation.

    With a serious tone, he continued, “Now that you’re all here, anyone who doesn’t want to leave can stay. But you’ll follow the rules here. If anyone dares to pick on another or arranges private duels, don’t blame me for enforcing family law. Understood?”

    The women responded immediately, especially Ruan Lianyue, whose voice was the loudest.

    She gazed at Ye Yu with adoration in her eyes.

    Her husband truly carried an air of authority. Even though he was no longer a demon lord, there was still a commanding presence about him that she found irresistible.

    She wasn’t the only one. Li Ruowang, too, couldn’t help but look up slightly.

    She wasn’t sure why, but Ye Yu seemed to have changed, becoming more assertive.

    Now, his mere presence was enough to keep her in line.

    This feeling stirred something within her.

    Husband, let’s see who will ultimately prevail. Will you conquer me, or will I turn the tables and reclaim the upper hand?

    That afternoon, twenty or so brothers from the Construction Hall arrived, building eight bamboo huts.

    Why eight instead of nine? The reason was simple.

    Tuoba Qiyue’s bamboo hut was placed directly beside Ye Yu’s, while Gan Zhizui, Su Yao, and the other wives needed new accommodations.

    Following the plan, the eight bamboo huts were arranged in a circle around Ye Yu’s, like stars encircling the moon.

    Such an arrangement was a first for the Construction Hall brothers.

    When they were about to double-check if the design was correct, they suddenly caught sight of Gan Zhizui, Yun Ciwu, Bu Lingfei, and the other women’s stunning faces.

    The sight left every one of them gasping in astonishment.

    Good heavens, we’ve seen real celestial beings.

    Nine of them—a whole team of goddesses come down to the mortal world.
