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.

God 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.

I 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.
Nicholas Grey
It 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,

Hopefully Not. I'm kind of tired of Harem anything.
TheCommensuratePup
Makes me kinda sad. It's a great series but sometimes it's too wholesome
Dion
Probably not, but one can always hope lol
TheCommensuratePup
Ok kinda confused is this story going to be poly/harem or no?
Sardeed
That little pervert.
DrSkillz
A hunk on one side and a beauty on the other? Meiling indeed a winner lmao
HighterDK
Damn. Jin’s huge. Meiling’s really… talented 😂

The picture looks like something out of a erotic story with that smirk.
Silberkinn
But where is Tigu :(
Marcin
The smug shiteating grin - the plan comes togeather...
Leon
I like that explanation a lot, Ty
TheGrog
That expression. The world is lucky she can't cultivate smug instead of qi.
Kevin Menard
One hopes. Otherwise, they are squished
Alex
Maybe she counts Tigu on top of Zhuye
Nicholas Grey
I had to look that up, and now I regret.
James C
Clearly, this must be the next morning; Tigu has taken the baby away to change him and feed him…
yeeteris dedmeem
Yea just re read the chapter, drawing is wholesome af but seems to be missing baby and tigu

I would need to reread the chapter for all the context. But I don't remember Meimei and Jim having CHILDREN in bed with them.
Leon
Wasn’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
Nicholas Grey
Yup. Dirty old man in a young woman’s body, lol.

A flower in one hand, a tree in the other.

Whatever 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.
TheBugEater
mei mei is a fucking pervert. my hero
V01D
Mei Mei doesn’t look like Xulian is BEHIND her?
BlueMage_VT
I really like this pic
Vladerag
now who will the next in Meiling's harem be? That is the real question!
ChanceOfFoxin
God that picture is on point, it captures Meiling perfectly.
ARSLOTHES
They think it’s Jin’s harem but it’s really Meiling’s harem. She has the equivalent of a flower in both hands
Brian
Is this supposed to be part 4?
Vorquel
Adorable.
Cj
you have now entered turbo smug
Kedar
Meiling looks so happy in that pic
