Chapter 791: Chapter 790: Be a Woman Who Can Laugh at the End
The high-level meeting of the Divine Continent lasted for a full three hours before concluding.
This was still considered quick.
For significant matters like this one, if the original participants were to discuss it, the fastest scenario might take at least ten days to half a month, or even several months to a year.
But things were different now, the bigshots with military backgrounds were more resolute and decisive in their actions.
If it weren’t for the enormity of this issue, with the Hidden Sect entering the world involving various aspects that required coordination across all departments of Divine Continent, the meeting could have been even shorter.
By the time the meeting was convened, Qin Yanyang had already boarded a plane.
She participated in the meeting in its entirety while on the plane.
After the meeting ended, a unanimous vote passed the decision to have Qin Yanyang represent Divine Continent and personally go to the Hidden Sect to inform the leaders of the various forces within the Hidden Sect about the decision of the Hidden Sect entering the world.
In the tent, Yang Fei spoke to Tong Yunshu about the events that had happened in the Hidden Sect. Tong Yunshu said, "Does this mean that the Hidden Sect entering the world is a foregone conclusion?"
Yang Fei said, "Yes, in fact, the Hidden Sect had already been preparing for a full entry into the world before this. Now that Heaven and the Penglai Realm have entered the world one after another, the matter of the Hidden Sect entering the world has also accelerated."
"Will there really be great chaos in the world, leading to a major war?" asked Tong Yunshu.
Yang Fei was silent.
During their previous conversation, Tong Yunshu had also mentioned the recent international events to him.
On the day the Ning Family turned coat, several huge explosions were heard from the east, followed by reports of earthquakes and tsunamis.
Although she, like the others who had come out with the Hidden Sect, was strictly confined to a designated activity area as if they were prisoners, she was now a Martial Artist of the Energy Transformation Seventh Rank. Combined with the unique nature of the Great Yellow Court, her perception of the various power elements in the surrounding world was extremely sharp, and her hearing was also exceptionally strong.
Over the past few days, members of the Military Department and special soldiers stationed here occasionally discussed those two explosions, mentioning that they were nuclear weapons launched by Japan.
The Japanese are too bloodthirsty and belligerent. They are extremely fanatical and capable of anything. Now that the Penglai Realm has entered the world, with limited land and resources in Japan, their ambition to occupy more fertile land and plunder global resources will definitely reignite.
So hearing Tong Yunshu’s question, Yang Fei merely fell silent for a moment before nodding, "War is inevitable, but whether it will spiral entirely out of control is still hard to say."
Tong Yunshu could not help but take Yang Fei’s hand and said softly, "With the number of nuclear weapons held by major powers around the world, if war gets out of control, mankind might be destroyed. At that point, we, the so-called Martial Artists and Cultivators, wouldn’t be much different from ordinary people, would we?"
Yang Fei gripped her hand tightly, offering comfort, "Don’t worry, if that day really comes, and we all have to die, no one will escape. Being together at that time will be enough."
Upon hearing this, Tong Yunshu gave a slight smile and teasingly blinked, "Us, does that mean just the two of us, or three?"
When Yang Fei saw her teasing him, he couldn’t help but slap her on her ample and perky behind, grunting, "Daring to tease me, huh? I’ll show you who’s boss."
The two were very close, and Tong Yunshu could already feel Little Yang Fei stirring, which instantly made her a bit breathless, her body feeling all tingly and her cheeks flushing.
She pressed her legs together, twisted her body slightly, bit her lip, and with a lustful look in her eyes, said to Yang Fei, "Don’t mess around, the noise isolation here is dreadful, there isn’t any soundproofing at all."
Once a man’s desire is aroused, it’s harder to suppress than an AK, and Yang Fei was not concerned with so much as he moved to act. But Tong Yunshu was in a panic.
Although the two of them had long been intimate as husband and wife, the privacy here was indeed terrible. Raising your voice a little would allow someone passing by outside to hear, let alone doing that deed?
Yang Fei was bold, and she would invariably make noises she couldn’t suppress in the heat of the moment. How could she face anyone if she made any sound during their intimacy?
Out of urgency, Tong Yunshu caught Yang Fei’s hand and panted, "Seriously, we can’t. If people hear us, the entire encampment will talk, and if this kind of thing gets to Qin Yanyang through someone from the Military Department, how would she face it? You can forget about ever getting her forgiveness."
This move proved effective.
Yang Fei’s hand instantly froze.
Tong Yunshu, already riled up, felt a strange sense of emptiness seeing him stop because of her words.
At the same time, deep inside she felt a sigh of relief as well as a bitter and sour pain.
At least more than half of his heart was on Qin Yanyang.
Even to persuade him not to go through with it, she still had to bring up Qin Yanyang.
She truly felt like a failure.
I used to be so ambitious, wanting to compete with Qin Yanyang.
This time, not only did I fail to establish my own career in the Hidden Sect, but I also became a prisoner at the foot of the enemy’s stairs, causing Yang Fei to worry about me.
In contrast, Qin Yanyang is one or two years younger than me, yet she has accomplished so many earth-shattering feats, and now her popularity in Divine Continent is ridiculously high.
Compared to her, I seem to be crushed in every aspect, with no competitive edge at all.
Yang Fei’s enthusiasm was extinguished, and he calmed down.
Tong Yunshu was also feeling incredibly down after having been determined to secretly compete with Qin Yanyang yet losing even before the competition began; the emotions that had been stirred up dissipated quickly.
Once Yang Fei calmed down and noticed Tong Yunshu’s low spirits, he swiftly held her close and said softly, "It’s you who have been good to me, always thinking of me, being so gentle and virtuous. How could I ever leave you?"
These were genuine emotions, but also a must-have skill for a casanova.
Now that I’ve realized that Tong Yunshu is feeling down because of me and Qin Yanyang, how could I not put some effort into cheering her up?
As long as my intentions are true, I have a clear conscience.
I, a man as outstanding as myself, why shouldn’t I have several women in my life?
Yang Fei is no moral exemplar; he’s just a flesh and blood being, self-serving and greedy. He wants to live transparently, to live for himself, definitely not to exist under others’ evaluations.
This is his human nature.
Hearing the comforting words from Yang Fei, Tong Yunshu felt a sweet sensation in her heart.
Although she was jealous of Qin Yanyang, she knew Yang Fei’s kindness towards her. That’s why, deep down, she wanted to compete with Qin Yanyang, but she never let too much emotion or temper show towards Yang Fei—that was her intelligence at play.
Third Grandpa used to say that the smartest women lead the best lives.
Since the day she decided to "scheme" against Yang Fei following Third Grandpa’s advice, she had already chosen her future path in life.
She softly punched Yang Fei in the chest and chided, "Don’t try to cheer me up with such cheesy words. I won’t fall for your tricks."
Seeing her spirits lifted, Yang Fei chuckled.
Resting her head on his sturdy chest, Tong Yunshu listened to his rhythmic heartbeat and whispered, "I was planning to help you establish your own power in the Hidden Sect World, but ended up in a dire situation and almost dragged you down with me. So, what are you going to do next? Are you going to support Qin Yanyang wholeheartedly, or do you have other plans?"
This was not the first time Tong Yunshu had brought up the topic of developing her own power.
Yang Fei knew she had his best interests at heart and was deeply moved.
In the past, he didn’t care much about these things, but now, after experiencing so much, Yang Fei also realized how vital it is to have a strong force loyal to him.
"Yanyang is my wife, and supporting her is a given. But just like you reminded me, I have to have my own ’career’ too," Yang Fei said slowly.
Tong Yunshu’s lips curled up, and looking up at his handsome and valiant face, she giggled, "Yeah, a successful young and handsome man will be able to get any woman he wants in the future."
Yang Fei chuckled, "One Qin Yanyang is already putting pressure on you. If there were more women who liked me, wouldn’t you worry?"
"What’s the use of worrying? As long as I’m sure you have me in your heart, that’s enough. Besides, when have I, Tong Yunshu, ever admitted defeat? This is just the beginning. Who will have the last laugh is still uncertain."
Tong Yunshu spoke with a smile, her face regaining its usual confidence.
In terms of looks and figure, she doesn’t lose to any woman.
When it comes to understanding Yang Fei, she believes she’s no less than Qin Yanyang.
Even in pleasing a man in bed, she, Tong Yunshu, had absolute confidence.
Yang Fei’s feelings for Qin Yanyang, in Tong Yunshu’s view, are now because he’s still young and chasing the purity of a first love on a spiritual level.
As he grows, he will see her worth.
So, who will have the last laugh is still an open question.
