Douluo's self has a soul beast clone

At this moment, in the hall of the Li Mansion.

Upon hearing the news of Li Chang’an's return, Dugu Yan and Xue Ke hurriedly dressed up, changed into new clothes, and rushed over, staring coldly at the woman opposite them with scrutinizing eyes.

The Ice Emperor naturally refused to be outdone, and she also coldly glared back, head held high and chest out.

The three women's gazes met, as if crackling lightning sounded in the void. The heavy atmosphere made Steward Cai and several maids who were serving nearby stiffen, with cold sweat breaking out on their foreheads. Their backs were already soaked with sweat, but they didn't dare to move at all.

Finally, Steward Cai broke the silence. He was old and really couldn't stand still any longer. Moreover, it wouldn't do to let these three young mistresses continue to stalemate like this.

"Two young mistresses, the young master is currently in seclusion. It is unknown when he will come out. Would you two like to stay in the mansion and wait for the young master to come out of seclusion?" Steward Cai said cautiously, bowing his waist.

"Seclusion? Secluding himself as soon as he returns."

Dugu Yan sneered upon hearing this, and sarcastically said, "I think he has found a new love and doesn't dare to face us. That's why he's hiding from us!"

As soon as these words came out, Steward Cai's heart tightened. He thought to himself, 'Not good!' The young master's trick has been seen through by the young mistress.

Even he thought that Li Chang’an was using seclusion as an excuse to avoid the two women's questioning, preparing to come out and coax them after their mood had calmed down a bit. Women are especially easy to coax at this time.

Just as Steward Cai was speechless and didn't know what to do, a savior appeared in time!

"Who said I was hiding?"

A clear male voice rang out, and the next second, Li Chang’an walked over from the corner, a smile on his face. He looked like he was in high spirits because of a happy event.

It had been more than half a year since he had seen his beloved.

Suddenly seeing the sweetheart he had been missing for a long time, Dugu Yan and Xue Ke's originally stern eyes couldn't help but soften. They even forgot about their intention to question him.

"Chang’an gege~"

The youngest Xue Ke even ran a few steps and threw herself into his arms, acting like a kitten and rubbing against him coquettishly, "Ke'er misses you so much~"

"I miss Ke'er too."

Li Chang’an gently hugged the adorable girl in his arms, his eyes softening involuntarily. Then he looked at Dugu Yan, who was also excited, and silently opened his other hand.

This time, Dugu Yan finally couldn't help it.

With a lunge, she occupied the other side of his arms.

Li Chang’an hugged two beauties with national beauty and heavenly fragrance, looking like he was enjoying the blessings of having two wives.

Steward Cai, who had silently watched the whole process, just wanted to give his young master a thumbs up! High, really high.

A jealousy storm was thus resolved silently.

Li Chang’an hugged Dugu Yan and Xue Ke, and with a flash, he arrived at the main seat in the hall. The chair representing the head of the family was built particularly grandly, so much so that it wouldn't feel crowded even if several people sat on it. So he sat down, hugging the two who were reluctant to separate.

Seeing this, Steward Cai winked at the maids and then silently exited the hall, leaving the space to these young people.

"Alright, alright, I'm back."

Li Chang’an coaxed the two girls in his arms in a gentle voice, hugging one in each arm, not minding the crowding at all. He kissed their cheeks and rubbed their hair from time to time, as if to express the longing he had felt during their separation through such intimate actions.

And the two women obviously enjoyed this very much, as if they had become koalas that couldn't leave their trees, clinging to him tightly.

The Ice Emperor, who had been silently watching the whole process, felt uncomfortable all over. She looked at the three people who were oblivious to everyone else. Suddenly, she wondered if she should stay here? Quite a while passed.

Dugu Yan and Xue Ke slowly recovered from their oblivious and agitated emotions. They quickly discovered the woman not far away, who was as annoying as a light bulb.

Being watched by an outsider during their intimate moment made Xue Ke blush with shame, and she buried her face in Li Chang’an's arms, as if doing so would make the incident disappear. A typical ostrich mentality.

As for Dugu Yan, she was much calmer. She even pretended to be puzzled and asked the Ice Emperor, "Why are you still here?"

"Why can't I be here?"

The Ice Emperor said coldly. She didn't understand the ways of the human world at all, so this question was indeed out of genuine puzzlement. She didn't think there was anything wrong with her staying here.

The other party's frank attitude stumped Dugu Yan instead. She thought to herself, 'This woman is a master!'

Formidable enemy! Definitely a formidable enemy!

Dugu Yan, whose heart was ringing alarm bells, finally recalled her previous mindset, so she reluctantly mustered her spirits and put on a questioning look, "Chang’an gege, who is this woman!"

"She is one of us."

Li Chang’an said. His attitude was not at all guilty, but exceptionally calm and composed.

"One of us?"

Upon hearing this, Dugu Yan and Xue Ke immediately thought that this was a new sister Chang’an gege had found for them. Immediately, their jealousy rose!

"Good for you! Isn't having the two of us enough?" Dugu Yan reached out and pinched the soft flesh on his waist, saying with a smile that didn't reach her eyes, "Chang! An! Ge! Ge! Shouldn't you give us an explanation!"

Although it was common for strong people or nobles to have three wives and four concubines in this world, it also depended on the situation. The existence of martial souls infinitely narrowed the gap between men and women. Therefore, women's status was not humble.

Powerful female soul masters would not tolerate their other half going out and flirting with other women.

After all, they were strong women. They were not weak women who depended on men for a living, so naturally, their demands on their other half were very high! And no one would want to share the person they liked with others.

This was the possessiveness that everyone had at play.

Dugu Yan could tolerate Xue Ke's existence mainly because she was young at the time. In addition, the two had a marriage contract first, so if she really wanted to get to the bottom of it, she was the one who came later. And most importantly, the marriage contract was set by the royal family, not something that could be broken off just like that.

Combining all of the above, plus more than three years of being together day and night, they had developed feelings for each other. Dugu Yan reluctantly accepted Xue Ke as her sister.

But now, her sweetheart had gone out for a trip and brought back a woman.

This made Dugu Yan unable to tolerate it.

So she pinched the soft flesh on Li Chang’an's waist, leaning on him like a beautiful snake. On the surface, her eyes were charming, but deep down, they were icy cold! Waiting for his explanation.

And although his waist didn't really hurt, Li Chang’an still pretended to be pinched in a vital spot, begging in a low voice, "It hurts, it hurts, Yanzi, be gentle. You're about to tear the flesh off."

Dugu Yan's heart softened, and she subconsciously relaxed her strength. But her words were unforgiving, "Hmph! Then you better tell me the truth! What is your relationship with this woman!"

"Alright, alright, I'll tell you, isn't that okay."

Li Chang’an looked like he was begging for mercy. Only then did Dugu Yan completely release her hand from his waist, looking at him, waiting for his explanation.

"Actually, the Ice Emperor is my martial soul."
