The stunningly beautiful women once again focused their attention on Luo Yu in unison.
All the women were incomparable in beauty, each with a distinct temperament and unique features.
However, Luo Yu was not in the mood to appreciate them.
With fewer onlookers around, he felt somewhat guilty.
It was akin to a child causing trouble outside, where the presence of parents and friends kept immediate punishment at bay out of consideration for face.
Once home without others, it might be a different story.
"Ahem."
As Luo Yu was about to speak, Bi Bidong spoke first.
"Husband, now that the outsiders have been cleared out,"
"Shall we talk about family matters?"
The icy look on Bi Bidong's pretty face melted away.
Her red lips moved slightly, with a gentle smile.
However, this smile made Luo Yu's skin crawl, and his hairs stand on end.
A Wu's seductive eyes shimmered, emitting a charming and soft voice.
"Yeah, Brother Yu,"
"Shouldn't you tell us how you got to know these sisters?"
Shui Yue'er swayed her silky legs in stockings, stomping her Silver Lotus, her red lips showing a mix of grievance and jealousy.
"Brother Yu, are all of these your women?"
Shui Bing'er stood aside, silent.
Clutching her abdomen, her beautiful eyes hazy.
She remembered that night.
Whispering softly within, wondering if it was her last night with Brother Yu?
Seeing the jealous looks in the women's eyes and remembering how resolutely they defended him just now.
Luo Yu felt a mixture of emotions, and suddenly his mouth tasted bitter.
The guilt slowly replaced his sense of unease.
He raised his hand and sighed lightly, "Can you listen to what I have to say?"
Noticing the man's tone and gaze were completely different from usual.
The women instantly grew silent, focusing their attention on him.
Listening carefully.
Luo Yu's gaze swept across each woman's face in turn, with every moment he had spent with them vivid in his mind.
He did not lower his head, his eyes locked onto the women.
He sighed deeply.
"At this point, I won't hide it from you,"
"I admit frankly, you all have a special relationship with me,"
"And you are all women I like."
"Not just for your faces and figures, but also for your unique personalities and kindness."
"Each one of you is excellent in your own Domain, the darling of heavens, the object of many people's affection."
"To have your favor is Luo Yu's good fortune."
"But, I seem to have indeed been too fickle-hearted."
"An ordinary man would be ecstatic for a lifetime with just one of you."
"And I... seem to have not known satisfaction, almost as if I'm unworthy of your affection."
Luo Yu shook his head repeatedly, his expression forlorn, all of his guilt written on his face.
Seeing the man who used to be bold and heroic, peerless in bearing, now with such a dim and joyless face, his spirit faded.
The hearts of the women present clenched tightly, their eyes sparkling with sympathy and reluctance to distress him.
Bi Bidong, Zhu Zhuqing, and Shui Bing'er, these women, couldn't help but walk towards Luo Yu.
Their jealousy dissipated from their faces, calling out with hearts full of distress.
"Husband..."
"Brother Yu, you..."
Luo Yu gestured with his hand to halt them.
"Listen to me,"
"I feel that, all along, I have indeed been too selfish."
"I unilaterally believed that I truly liked each one of you, that I would treat each one of you well, that I would truly love each one of you."
"Whatever my women liked, I would give."
"I thought that was enough."
"But I overlooked that, which woman doesn't want to be exclusively loved and cherished by a man?"
"Which woman wants to share her husband's love with other women?"
Luo Yu supported himself on the handles of his wheelchair, struggling to stand.
His expression was downcast.
He bowed slightly.
"I'm sorry, I have been too selfish all along."
The A'yin Sisters, Bi Bidong, the Zhu Zhuqing Sisters, Xiaowu, the Shui Bing'er Sisters, Xue Wu, all these girls shook their heads.
Seeing Luo Yu, who always carried himself with unmatched valor and looked down upon his rivals, now so dispirited and even forgoing male pride,
Bowing to these women in apology, each of their hearts trembled, and their noses felt sour.
If he didn't love them, who could make Brother Yu bow?
Being women of tender understanding and good nature, how could they not understand this?
"Brother Yu."
"Husband!"
Ah Yin pursed her lips, "It's not what you think, you haven't wronged us."
"We did it all willingly," Zhu Zhuqing clutched her chest.
"Don't say things like that; it makes me so upset," Shui Yue'er bit her crimson lips, her pretty face contorted.
Bi Bidong's heart fluttered with waves of heartache, her beautiful eyes misty as she gazed at the man.
Ask the world.
Who has ever heard of a man of high standing bowing to his women and apologizing?
Be it emperors or sect masters, would any of them collect concubines without a sense of entitlement?
Her red lips parted, her voice tender to the extreme.
"Husband, you don't have to do this."
"Dong'er likes you and only wants to spend her life with you, without ever worrying about those things."
Xiaowu lightly bit her moist, red lips, her pink beautiful eyes glimmering with tears.
"Husband, please don't be sad, Xiaowu won't get jealous for no reason anymore," she pleaded.
Luo Yu, with a desolate look in his eyes, gazed at the women who dearly loved him.
A smirk curled at the corner of his mouth, and he let out a self-mocking chuckle.
"How have I, Luo Yu, deserved to meet such good women as you all."
"Husband, we're also very lucky to have met you," Bi Bidong, A Wu, and the other women's eyes filled with warmth and memories.
Luo Yu's sealed legs strained to support him as he straightened up.
"In my life, I've acted on my desires, repaying kindness and avenging wrongs, never owing anyone anything."
"But I do owe you for your love."
"Today, I will not make any excuses to absolve myself; being fickle-hearted is being fickle-hearted, and I must be punished."
"But I want to say, I truly love you all."
"Clang!"
With a thought from Luo Yu, sword light blazed in his palm.
The Zhu Tian Sword appeared.
He twisted his wrist, and the tip of the sword reversed.
Without hesitation, he stabbed the sword into his chest.
"Puchi!"
The Sky-Punishing Longsword penetrated flesh and blood, spattering all around, piercing his body straight through.
The moment was as swift as lightning; everyone was too late to react.
The Longsword pierced through, the pain reaching deep into the bone marrow.
Luo Yu merely frowned, clenched his teeth tightly, and with a strong yank, pulled out the sword.
As the Longsword was withdrawn, blood gushed, splashing the ground a deep crimson.
He prepared to stab himself again.
"Don't!!"
"Husband, stop it, please!!"
All the women's beautiful eyes bulged with horror, their faces paled, tears welling as they desperately channeled their Soul Power, screaming as they rushed to stop him.
This time, Luo Yu didn't get his way as the sword was halted.
Three women were the quickest to get in front of him.
Bi Bidong's phoenix eyes showed immense sorrow as her trembling delicate hands desperately gripped Luo Yu's sword-bearing hand.
A Wu and Ah Yin, the two beautiful women, disregarding the risk to their palms being cut by the blade, tightly grasped the sword edge, preventing it from falling.
The other women quickly closed in, pressing their delicate bodies together without reservation, encircling him so tightly there was no way through.
Seeing Luo Yu's raw, bloody wound, the A'yin Sisters, Bi Bidong, and Ning Rongrong couldn't hold back any longer.
"Husband, why do this to yourself? We really don't blame you!" they cried.
"Brother Yu..." Xiaowu sobbed, unable to speak.
Heartache overwhelmed her, her nose stung unbearably, and tears streamed down.
Shui Yue'er's large tears fell from her eyes as her hands quickly tore off a strip of cloth from around her waist, entirely unconcerned about exposing herself.
She moved forward to bandage Luo Yu's wounds.
Bi Bidong, watching the steadily bleeding sword wound, shook violently, feeling numb all over, losing the calm composure she usually had.
"Husband, please, don't do this!"
"If there's something wrong, just talk to me, let Dong'er take care of it for you!!" she urged.
"I..." Luo Yu started to say but stopped.
Ah Yin shook her head repeatedly, tears streaming down her face, "We all know your love, please don't speak anymore."
In her desperation, Bi Bidong seemed to suddenly remember something and urged,
"Lingling, Rongrong, what are you waiting for? Hurry and heal your husband!!"
"Oh, right!!"
Ye Lingling and Ning Rongrong came to their senses.
If someone else had been injured, they would not have forgotten to heal them.
But seeing Luo Yu's blood, they had already become utterly distraught, losing their senses, their minds hollow, forgetting their own abilities.
The two stunning girls disregarded the drain on their Soul Power and exerted themselves to activate their Martial Souls.
They released all of their soul skills.
"Nine Treasures turn out Glazed!"
"Nine-Hearted Begonia!"
"Martial Soul Fusion!"
"Boom!"
The Nine-Colored Divine Light shimmering from the Glazeds Pagoda and the fragrant Nine-Hearted Begonia flowers merged into one.
They burst into a dazzling radiance, filled with boundless life force.
All of it poured into Luo Yu's body.
In an instant, Luo Yu's wounds visibly healed at an incredible pace, and his vitality swiftly returned...
