Having Hundreds of Women Is Normal

And so, the first thing he saw was Rina Chu.

He immediately took a big step back, his face full of wariness. "You broke my nose! Isn't that enough? And now you've even chased me to my doorstep! What do you want? Want me to take responsibility? Let me tell you, no way!"

"I'm here to say goodbye," Rina Chu replied coolly.

"Goodbye? You're finally leaving? That's fantastic! No wonder the sun looked extra bright this morning, and even the lucky birds were chirping!" Leon Zane exclaimed, his face lighting up with joy.

"Grace wants to see you," Rina Chu said. "Come with me, now."

Leon Zane still looked wary. "Go with you? Is this some kind of scheme?"

"Hurry up!" Rina Chu said, grabbing him by the collar and dragging him along.

When they reached the thatched hut, Grace had already written down the treatment plan for the Celestial Empress and handed the paper to Leon Zane.

Leon Zane took it, eyeing her suspiciously. "You're really leaving?"

Grace nodded.

"Why are you suddenly leaving? From what I've seen, His Highness has been in a fantastic mood these past two days, like a model ruler. You two must've patched things up, right?"

"I originally came to Drake Abyss because I learned something about Sophie Shang. I thought the Imperial Marriage Grant and the Divination Hexagram were her schemes. But today I realized... it's true! She and His Highness are truly destined for each other," Grace said.

"Huh?" Leon Zane frowned. "No wonder His Highness mysteriously disappeared today—nobody could find him."

Grace lowered her eyes. "Leon Zane, please tell him... From now on, the paths of gods and mortals must part. Let us each find our own peace."

"Wait—just because he has to marry Sophie Shang doesn't mean you can't stay by his side! He's the Crown Prince, soon to be the Divine Emperor. Having a thousand or even eighteen hundred women is totally normal! This is just the beginning!"

"Bang!" Rina Chu slapped the back of his head. "A thousand or eighteen hundred women?"

"Isn't that how it is with your human emperors?" Leon Zane said, rubbing his head. "Even the tiniest border country emperor has three thousand concubines!"

"With Grace, her man can only have her! If he has other women, he's not her man anymore. Right, Grace?"

Grace smiled. "Leon Zane, if you find new Heaven's Dew, you must come find me and my master! If we're not in Sigil City, we'll be at Blaze Summit."

"Do you really have to go? Even if he's forgotten what happened before, I feel like... he's different with you. Maybe he's falling for you all over again! If you leave..."

"Once Grandpa Gene the High Saint returns, we'll say our goodbyes and leave," Grace said firmly. "You should go back now."

Leon Zane sighed and left.

It wasn't long before Grandpa Gene the High Saint returned.

Grace told him about their departure.

He was only helping Master Dao anyway, so he didn't ask much. He nodded and said he'd take them back.

Then, he led the two of them outside.

They had to leave the canopy of the King's Spirit Tree before they could ascend to the sky.

As they walked, Rina Chu suddenly stopped, grabbed his arm, and called out, "Grace!"

Grace looked at her. "What's wrong?"

"Look!"

Grace followed the direction of her finger, and her eyes immediately narrowed.

The Spirit Barrier... had opened...
