“If my husband is pleased, so am I,” Lu Tianxiang said, with a smile on her face.
“This matter owes much to Xiangxiang. Your husband must properly reward you.”
As Han Li spoke, he embraced Lu Tianxiang and disappeared from the summit of Chengdao Peak, arriving at Lu Tianxiang’s sleeping quarters.
“Husband, no~ I am already with child. Let’s wait until later,” Lu Tianxiang attempted to refuse.
“Xiangxiang, I know what you’re saying. When you say no, you mean yes~”
With those words, Han Li undressed the Sect Hierarch’s Luo skirt.
Three days passed in the blink of an eye.
In these three days, Han Li wasn’t in a hurry to distribute the Rebirth Pills, opting to wait until all were refined. He had spent most of his time doting on his tender wife and beautiful concubines, accompanying them by day and night, inseparable as if glued together, drenching in sweat, their days blissful as those of immortals.
Today, Han Li felt it was time to take concubines. It had been quite some time since he last did so, with the previous occasion being when Zhou Manor sent over triplet sisters.
If he didn’t take another concubine soon, Ancestor Han felt he would be letting down the title of “Ancestor of Taking Concubines.”
However, upon contemplation, Ancestor Han realized there were no suitable candidates for concubinage. To be his concubine, a woman needed exceptional beauty, and at the very least, a talent of the seventh rank, which excluded many beautiful female cultivators.
There were indeed some beautiful female cultivators in Yonchang Manor that met the criteria, some even with bonus points, but since they weren’t forthcoming, Ancestor Han found it inappropriate to force them.
Given his status, he couldn’t act without any restraint, otherwise he would run into trouble with cultivators intent on vanquishing demons and defending the way. Li Feiyu might have been more suitable for such actions.
In three or four days, it would be time for Chu Zhenxiong to fulfill his promise. Only when Li Feiyu’s identity was officially revealed could he use that identity to boldly take wives and concubines.
After some thought, Han Li’s eyes brightened with a new idea for taking concubines, not only meeting the standards but also bringing bonus points.
“It will be you two,” Ancestor Han murmured to himself with a smile on his face.
Those were two true demoness beauties. Ancestor Han had long wanted to taste the flavor of genuine demonesses, but he did not know if they had assumed human form.
When Han Mansion was relocating, they had passed by Xuanshi City, and it was then that Han Li had spotted the woman in the purple dress and the beauty in yellow. At that time, Han Li had spared them, not capturing them to become his concubines.
Now Han Li wanted to do just that, to taste something of the two little demoness beauties. In a couple of years, he could also sample the flavor of the Demon Queen, which would serve nicely to satisfy his craving.
Speaking of the Demon Queen reminded Han Li of the Dragon Lady. It had been several months since the Dragon Lady took the Dragon Ball from the Sacred Dragon Secret Realm, and Han Li had no idea where she had gone.
Han Li quite fancied the idea of becoming a Dragon Knight. That way, he might earn himself a new title: Dragon-Subduing Ancestor!
But since the Dragon Lady had disappeared a long time ago and was also extremely powerful, Han Li was temporarily unable to do anything about her.
“Dragon Lady, oh Dragon Lady, whether I can become a Dragon Knight depends on you,” Han Li murmured to himself, then vanished from Chengsheng Mountain. In the next instant, he was high above Xuanshi City, standing aloft in the firmament, surveying the mountaintops and lands below.
In a grand house within Xuanshi City, the woman in the purple dress and the beauty in yellow were leisurely enjoying their tea, though their expressions were more somber than before.
“Sister, things haven’t been peaceful in Da Qian lately. We must be more vigilant and cannot afford to be discovered by human cultivators,” the woman in the purple dress said softly.
The beauty in yellow frowned slightly and sighed, “Indeed, it’s been turbulent.”
“I recall when we first came to Da Qian, it was one of the Eight Great Forces of Mysterious Region, ranking fifth or sixth. Decades have passed, and the Qian Dynasty has come to this—a matter of both time and fate,”
The woman in the purple dress’s face was tinged with nostalgia as she said, “That’s true. Back then, the Qian Dynasty was truly glorious and imposing. Otherwise, our clan wouldn’t have sent us to infiltrate the Capital City. Such a pity.”
“Now, Da Qian is severely weakened. The True Martial Realm forces have lost two members, and only one aging True Martial Realm ancestor is left to barely hold things together. The territory has shrunk to a third of its original size, and a considerable number of forces within have defected to the Yinyang Sect, Kurong Sect, and other major powers.”
“Da Qian is still fraught with crisis, beset by internal strife and external threats. With only a few decades of life left, it is close to being struck off the list of top forces in the Xuan Domain.”
“As the saying goes, ‘When the tides of time flow, all are swept along; when fortune fades, even heroes are powerless.’ It is so for cultivators, and it is so for dynasties. Initially, Emperor Chu Dingqian of Da Qian was blessed with great fortune and established the Qian Dynasty from the remnants of the Da Jing Empire. Now, the last Emperor Qian, Chu Xuanhai, has lost his luck, and it may be time for the dynasty’s demise,” the beauty in yellow said calmly.
“Chu Zhenxiong is trying his best to merely prolong the Qian Dynasty’s lifespan by another forty or fifty years at most. Perhaps the emergence of the Sacred Dragon Secret Realm will mark the dynasty’s absolute end.”
“In the last twenty thousand years, the Eight Great Forces of Mysterious Region have constantly changed. Only the Ancient Empire has stood unyielding, having been established over sixteen thousand years ago. The other seven forces have all shifted several times; the Qian Dynasty is merely following the footsteps of previous powers.”
The woman in the purple dress nodded in agreement with her sister’s words, saying, “The Ancient Empire is indeed formidable. The records in Myriad Demon Mountain state that the Ancient Empire is bolstered by a Divine Yuan Realm martial emperor, allowing it to stand unyielding.”
Pausing, she suddenly asked:
“Shall we go to the Da Liang Empire?”
Seeing the beauty in yellow turning to her, the woman in the purple dress immediately said, “Currently, the Qian Dynasty only has between two to fifty years of life remaining. Then, Yuanzhou will descend into chaos, affecting us as well.”
“Moreover, Xuanshi Manor has brought in many God Refining Realm and Hollow Void Stage forces. Although it is still stable, there will be inevitable struggles as they vie for cultivation resources, and the Manor City will be affected by the turmoil.”
