Chapter 1082: Chapter 281: Disabled Guard

Even though the prophecy was absurd, Liu Zhenhan’s heart couldn’t help but flutter a little.

Saint Chiao Mage was the most elite existence in the entire Aegean Continent, representing the pinnacle of the Elemental Mysteries.

Liu Zhenhan thought back to how Master Puskas had inexplicably entrusted Joan of Arc to a stranger like himself and couldn’t help but secretly speculate—could the Master have foreseen that he would have a child with Joan of Arc in six days? Was that why he had gone with the flow at the beginning?

During their recent meeting in Sabak, Master Puskas had half-jokingly and half-seriously said to Liu Zhenhan that he should just marry into his family as his son-in-law, which in retrospect, might not have been a hint at all—each time Puskas looked at Liu Zhenhan, his eyes seemed not merely to express support for the younger generation but swelled with familial affection.

"Just for a prophecy derived from divination, to entrust your daughter for life?" Liu Zhenhan thought over and over, still finding it too idealistic—the entire Yale Oasis was about to be invaded by a large army. Not to mention he didn’t harbor such thoughts, even if he did, he definitely wouldn’t be foolish enough to act on them now, right?

"Joan of Arc throwing herself into his arms?" Liu Zhenhan then considered this possibility. As soon as this thought emerged, he chastised himself for wishful thinking. Given Joan of Arc’s devout faith and conservative nature, it would take Ferguson Xu flying from the sea into the desert to forcefully feed her "red lead."

After reviewing all speculations, Liu Zhenhan concluded they were all nonsense.

Truth be told, deep down Liu Zhenhan faintly hoped such a thing would happen, although it felt sinful to think so, he couldn’t help but entertain the thought.

Of course, it was just a thought.

Daisy had once, half-jokingly, half-seriously, told Liu Zhenhan, "Richard, beautiful girls should not be too nice to you. Once they are too nice or fall in love with you, you will never reject them because your heart is too soft. You’re like a pile of wheat straw, which will burn up at anyone’s romantic spark."

This statement had hit Liu Zhenhan right where it hurt. Whenever he saw a beautiful woman, like all men prone to lust, he would also secretly harbor some foolish thoughts.

If this beautiful girl deeply loved him, Liu Zhenhan, naturally, wouldn’t likely let her go—such fortune as having Lin Daiyu fall from the sky, except for fools, no one would hesitate.

But if she didn’t feel the same way, to pursue beauty using force and coercion, Liu Zhenhan would scoff at such degrading behavior—a real man would never engage in such acts.

Being overly affectionate was certainly no virtue, and Liu Zhenhan admitted to himself that this flaw was deeply ingrained.

This was primarily due to his several wives spoiling him.

Ning Yu had once said, "Although Richard is affectionate, he is also a man of great loyalty and commitment. From his and Helen’s struggle-ridden return to the Aegean Continent from overseas, whether advancing in rituals, fighting against the human slave hunters, severing an arm with a sword, to avenging Maple Leaf Village in the desert, everything he did was for the beloved women by his side."

The Fox spirit, Helen, was even more straightforward, "Looking across the entire Aegean Continent, how many Overlords have never laid a hand on the beautiful maids in their estates?"

As for Avril, when Liu Zhenhan had publicly harassed the young Nun Joan of Arc on the streets of Valencia City in the capital Dorott, she went so far as to blame the young Nun instead.

It must be said that this type of irresponsible indulgence greatly encouraged Liu Zhenhan’s audacity, although what Ning Yu and Helen said were also true.

This indulgence of Liu Zhenhan was not just because he truly cared for them, but also because, whether it was Fairy Dragon or Fox spirit, Mermaid or Clam Girl Ning Yu, Liu Zhenhan’s five cherished wives all came from races that struggled with fertility. Liu Zhenhan having no children with them to date was undeniably part of the reason.

This was something Ning Yu, raised with traditional Eastern moral education, could not accept. In fact, not only on the Silk Continent, but also on the Aegean Continent, ending one’s ancestral line was considered an unforgivable sin. As his main wife, Ning Yu had to take responsibility for this. Based on this, Ning Yu had already seriously discussed with Helen and others about accepting concubines for Richard on her last return to Sabak—even though Coral Beauty was already pregnant, Ning Yu still insisted that the matter of accepting concubines should be arranged as soon as possible. She always believed that adding a few new lives to the Feilengcui Lord’s estate and the War God Summer Palace was the true responsibility of a wife! Every time the twin Blood Infants called her mother, Ning Yu felt immense guilt—it was too shaming for a wife to have her husband figure out solutions for children on his own.

Initially, Liu Zhenhan thought they were just joking, but later, when he realized they were serious, it made him feel an unrepayable happiness, yet an immense guilt arose deep inside him. Originally, he wanted Qian Qian to use "Jane’s Love Song" to help his cherished wives fulfill their wish, but Ning Yu and the others, all of whom were very modest, wouldn’t allow a young girl to help them.

Now Joan of Arc’s words had unintentionally reawakened this troublesome happiness in Liu Zhenhan.
