From v3c59.2: Scattering Seeds part 2: Winning at Life
Added 2023-06-01 03:22:37 +0000 UTCBut tonight, Meiling obviously just wanted Xiulan to sleep, and be rested, so she clambered into her own bed, embracing both her children and her husband and making noises of comfort.
It looked warm, and it looked comfortable. Xiulan smiled at the scene, and made to leave herself. Back to her own bed, alone for the last night.
Xiulan hesitated.
She glanced back at Jin and Meiling, and chewed her lip.
She… she didn’t want to be alone tonight, either. Not out of lust, not out of some base feeling… But because she wanted to feel the warmth of home, for just a bit longer.
At first, hesitantly, and then, with more determination, as she grabbed the covers of Jin and Meiling’s bed, pulled them up… and then slipped in behind Meiling. The married couple froze as she hugged Meiling from behind.
There was a bit of embarrassment; Xiulan waited for Meiling’s teasing, about how she finally really got Xiulan in their bed. She was stiff, and a bit awkward.
But instead, there was nothing. Meiling’s hand came up to grab Xiulan’s own, the slight tremor in it dying immediately at her friend's touch.
It was not the touch of a lover, or filled with any sort of lust.
It was calming and soothing. The pillar she had relied on, when her heart was so disturbed.
Xiulan took a deep breath, the scent of medicinal herbs filing her nostrils, clean and fresh. Then, she looked up to Jin. her sworn brother smiled at her. It was the same expression she had seen on Bowu’s face, when he spoke with Xianghua; his own hand touched hers.
Yes, Meiling is still smug about this.

Bi De maybe, but I certainly hope not for Jin. I very much enjoy Jin's monogamy and how it plays against the other characters' expectations.

2023-06-09 00:52:31 +0000 UTCGod I hope not. Harem bad. I kind of like the conceit running through these volumes of "is this part leading up to harem?" followed by a, "psych! nope!". I hope it's on purpose, because that makes it even funnier.

2023-06-08 17:43:54 +0000 UTCI think its quite wholesome, and nice that she is safe and looked after and has a nurturing family life. As to harem this is more like real life unless your rich successful and handsome forget getting more than one beautiful women, unless the population was not 50/50 and skewed to more females than males like 30/70 then it would make sense to have more females marrying males.

2023-06-08 11:25:37 +0000 UTCIt was originally *supposed* to be, hence the stereotype setup in the early chapters. But the story got away from the author, the way the best stories do, and now they have stated that it would no longer fit the plot moving forward,

2023-06-04 02:41:41 +0000 UTCHopefully Not. I'm kind of tired of Harem anything.

2023-06-02 00:40:05 +0000 UTCThe picture looks like something out of a erotic story with that smirk.

2023-06-01 23:46:40 +0000 UTCBut where is Tigu :(
Silberkinn
2023-06-01 22:12:42 +0000 UTCThe smug shiteating grin - the plan comes togeather...

2023-06-01 16:22:23 +0000 UTCI like that explanation a lot, Ty

2023-06-01 15:03:51 +0000 UTCThat expression. The world is lucky she can't cultivate smug instead of qi.
TheGrog
2023-06-01 12:42:41 +0000 UTCOne hopes. Otherwise, they are squished
Kevin Menard
2023-06-01 12:35:26 +0000 UTCMaybe she counts Tigu on top of Zhuye
Alex
2023-06-01 11:06:12 +0000 UTCI had to look that up, and now I regret.
Nicholas Grey
2023-06-01 10:12:38 +0000 UTCClearly, this must be the next morning; Tigu has taken the baby away to change him and feed him…
James C
2023-06-01 10:09:00 +0000 UTCYea just re read the chapter, drawing is wholesome af but seems to be missing baby and tigu
yeeteris dedmeem
2023-06-01 08:28:22 +0000 UTCI would need to reread the chapter for all the context. But I don't remember Meimei and Jim having CHILDREN in bed with them.
WyrdWizard
2023-06-01 08:05:11 +0000 UTCWasn’t Tigu also supposed to be in bed with them or am I mixing up chapters? Meimei’s smug grin is fantastic in any case
Leon
2023-06-01 07:20:46 +0000 UTCYup. Dirty old man in a young woman’s body, lol.

2023-06-01 06:29:08 +0000 UTCA flower in one hand, a tree in the other.

2023-06-01 05:44:23 +0000 UTCWhatever the timeline, Meimei will lay claim to Xiulan's virtue. Also, given the text, she has just managed a shimaidon as well. The protagonist energy cannot be denied.

2023-06-01 05:43:39 +0000 UTCmei mei is a fucking pervert. my hero

2023-06-01 04:47:13 +0000 UTCMei Mei doesn’t look like Xulian is BEHIND her?

2023-06-01 04:31:11 +0000 UTCI really like this pic
BlueMage_VT
2023-06-01 04:29:13 +0000 UTCnow who will the next in Meiling's harem be? That is the real question!
Vladerag
2023-06-01 04:14:02 +0000 UTCGod that picture is on point, it captures Meiling perfectly.
ChanceOfFoxin
2023-06-01 03:58:56 +0000 UTCThey think it’s Jin’s harem but it’s really Meiling’s harem. She has the equivalent of a flower in both hands
ARSLOTHES
2023-06-01 03:48:03 +0000 UTCIs this supposed to be part 4?
Brian
2023-06-01 03:31:26 +0000 UTCAdorable.
Vorquel
2023-06-01 03:31:12 +0000 UTCyou have now entered turbo smug
