Chapter 104: What Will Happen Next?

“This...” Upon hearing this, Long Tianjiao instantly felt deflated.

She knew this was not the right time to return to Tianmen City, yet her heart remained deeply unsettled about Chu Tian. She could only keep in constant contact with the senior sisters, hoping to learn immediately if there was any news of him.

The next day, as the sun rose and a faint dawn light appeared on the horizon, the women still waited outside the villa.

They had stood vigil there all night, not daring to leave for fear that Chu Tian might wake up and find no one around.

But after an entire night of waiting, there was still no sign of him, which only deepened their worry.

“Xiao Tian still hasn’t moved. Should we go inside and take a look?” Zhao Ling’er couldn’t help but speak up again, her heart gripped with concern for Chu Tian’s safety.

“All right, let’s go in,” Liu Qingxue waved her hand decisively, finally making up her mind.

Naturally, the others followed their senior sister and entered the villa together.

At first, they moved cautiously, even slowing their footsteps to avoid making any noise.

Upon entering the living room, they saw the mess scattered everywhere but found no sign of Chu Tian.

Led by Liu Qingxue, they all proceeded to the backyard.

At that moment, the large swimming pool’s water was crystal clear.

Chu Tian’s body was submerged beneath the surface, his eyes tightly shut, limbs spread out as if already in a drowning posture.

The worst possibility struck them—he had jumped into the pool last night, and now a whole night had passed. Could it be that Chu Tian had drowned?

They were all shocked.

“Xiao Tian?” Liu Qingxue whispered gently, stepping closer.

Then suddenly, Chu Tian’s eyes snapped open beneath the water.

Boom!

In the next instant, a towering column of water erupted from the pool.

The women quickly scattered, avoiding the splashing water near the edge.

When the spray settled, Chu Tian was already standing at the poolside.

His entire body surged with true energy, emanating intense heat that instantly dried his soaked clothes.

The women watched him cautiously, their wide eyes silently exchanging looks, none daring to speak.

“Senior sister, I’m fine now,” Chu Tian said with a light laugh, his demeanor calm and composed, no longer exhibiting the madness from the previous day.

“That’s a relief. You really scared us,” Liu Qingxue exhaled deeply, gradually letting go of her anxiety, though still uneasy.

“Xiao Tian, do you remember what happened yesterday?” Ye Binglan asked carefully, her tone gentle.

All the women turned their eyes to Chu Tian, awaiting his reply.

“I only remember falling headfirst into the pool. After that, I have no memory,” Chu Tian shook his head, a trace of recollection flickering in his eyes.

“Xiao Tian, do you feel any discomfort anywhere now?” Lin Qinghan stepped forward again, grasping Chu Tian’s wrist to take his pulse.

“Third sister, I really am fine,” Chu Tian’s heart warmed—he could feel his senior sisters’ care deeply.

At the same time, he felt a lingering fear over his rashness last night. Previously, the senior sisters’ cultivation levels weren’t very high, so he might not have sensed it as strongly.

But now that Ye Binglan had reached the half-step Grandmaster realm, his desire to consume the second senior sister had grown even stronger!

Although he had managed to suppress this craving for now, he knew it might erupt again someday.

If he lost control, he could very well end up forcing the seven senior sisters, an outcome he absolutely wished to avoid!

Lin Qinghan carefully examined Chu Tian’s pulse and found it steady, and his heart calm.

Only then did the women finally relax.

“Senior sister, I’ve decided to move out of the villa. I won’t live with you all anymore,” Chu Tian said suddenly, his tone tinged with melancholy.

“Why do you want to move out?” Liu Qingxue frowned, naturally guessing the reason. If Chu Tian stayed, he might lose control again and harm the sisters.

This was not only something the women wanted to avoid—it was also unacceptable to Chu Tian himself.

However, having lived together for a month, if Chu Tian left abruptly, the women would surely feel a deep reluctance.

“Senior sister, why do you ask when you already know?” Chu Tian sighed, a bitter smile crossing his face. “If I stay here, who knows when I might go mad again and end up hurting you all.”

“You don’t need to go. We will never let you leave,” Liu Qingxue said firmly, allowing no room for argument.

Voices from the women followed in quick succession.

“Xiao Tian, have you ever really thought of us as your senior sisters?”

“You come and go as you please—do you think this is a hotel room?”

“Senior sister is right. We don’t care if you might lose control again. You’re not allowed to leave!”

One after another, they voiced their determination to keep him with them.

“Fine, then I won’t leave,” Chu Tian smiled broadly, slipping back into his playful, cheeky self.

Just kidding!

He wasn’t about to give up living at Yunhe Villa with seven senior sisters.

Hearing his shameless words, the women couldn’t help but chuckle.

Sure enough, his earlier melancholy was just a ruse. How could Chu Tian possibly bear to leave Yunhe Villa?

Yet the threat he posed remained an unavoidable topic.

“Xiao Tian, I’ve had a question for a while. Why did your cultivation method have no side effects before, but only erupted yesterday?” Zhao Ling’er asked curiously, eager to understand the cause.

Chu Tian was silent for a moment before answering.

“Seventh sister, when second sister attacked me yesterday, I seemed to sense the energy within her. That energy felt very familiar to me, sparking an urge to consume and absorb it.”

His voice grew lower.

The women’s eyes all revealed a knowing look.

“Senior sisters, rest assured. I have already suppressed that impulse.”

“Besides, having suppressed the Devouring Heavenly Demon Technique once, I’m more confident I can control it next time.”

Chu Tian exhaled deeply, his body relaxing somewhat.

“No matter what, we must still be cautious. From now on, we can’t reveal our true energy around Xiao Tian, so as not to trigger his cultivation chaos,” Liu Qingxue decided immediately, issuing a firm order.

“Yes!” the other six responded in unison.

Still, their hearts were filled with worry. If Chu Tian’s next outburst was even more severe, how could they help him resolve it?
