Han Li smiled, showing some admiration for Xue Qingyi, and even though he wasn’t tempted by the promises she painted, he still agreed to take her as his wife.

Although Xue Qingyi had made clever calculations, after marrying into The Li Manor, she still needed to bear several offspring first. Without making contributions, it was difficult for the great ancestor Han to lend her a helping hand.

As it was the Manor Lord’s first marriage, the wedding ceremony was naturally grand beyond compare, easily surpassing the magnitude of any previous concubine inductions by more than tenfold.

All the powers within the territory of the Daqian Empire, be they Sect Leaders or Sect Masters, either personally attended or sent high-ranking representatives. Each delivered precious treasures, their intentions expressed through their gifts.

It was the same with the official Da Qian stance. Even though they harbored some misgivings about Li Feiyu, the Manor Lord of The Li Manor, entering matrimony for the first time, they had to maintain a good public facade; otherwise, they would offend the Manor Lord.

Offending the Manor Lord meant that once the old ancestor Chu Zhenxiong passed away, they would not fare well.

This marriage ceremony also sent out an important signal to all powers: a woman of Fourth Grade talent could indeed become the wife of the Manor Lord.

It made sense, after all, since the Manor Lord was only at the True Martial Realm himself. Should he wish to find a wife of Third Grade talent and beauty, it would have been difficult, as nobody knew if such a woman even existed within the great Da Qian.

With the assistance of Emperor Wu from the True Martial Realm, it was relatively easy for those with Fourth Grade talent to cultivate to the Myriad Phenomena Realm, thereby becoming competent aides to Emperor Wu himself.

Under the tireless efforts of the great ancestor Han, Xue Qingyi, Wen Yun’er, and their other ten delicately beautiful wives and concubines soon conceived, although the lengths of their pregnancies varied. Basically, they became pregnant not long after marrying into Han Mansion.

Atop Chong Xiao Pavilion, Xue Qingyi stood looking out over the back residence at Li Feiyu’s beautiful concubines and gently touched her lower abdomen with a sigh.

She hadn’t wanted to become pregnant so soon, preferring to cultivate to the Hollow Void Stage first. But unable to defy her husband Li Feiyu, she conceived anyway, and now the child had been growing for over a month.

Under the moonlight, Xue Qingyi looked breathtakingly graceful. Her pale moon-colored palace dress fluttered, revealing her fairy-like skin and bones beneath. Her three thousand strands of black hair fell like a waterfall, each strand glistening, smoothly cascading over her snow-white neck, reaching her slender, delicate waist, which seemed too fragile for even a gentle grasp.

Her arched eyebrows complemented her clear, distinct eyes, bright whites and dark pupils, and her red lips were stunningly beautiful. Her body was slender, her demeanor elegant and graceful, towering and captivating. With every move, her spiritual energy was overwhelming, her presence radiant.

At that moment, Xue Qingyi felt a pair of large hands embrace her delicate waist. She leaned back, resting against the solid and powerful chest behind her.

“My Lord~” Xue Qingyi’s voice rang out like the clear chime of a bell.

“What is Qingyi contemplating?” Han Li kissed her tender skin and then captured her gorgeous red lips.

After being released by her husband, Xue Qingyi said, “My Lord, I was wondering when I could resume my cultivation.”

Han Li smiled and replied, “Don’t worry, you’ll be able to cultivate soon after the birth of our child. I will ensure Qingyi recovers her vitality as quickly as possible.”

“Mm~” Xue Qingyi murmured softly, unsure if it was true, but choosing to believe it nonetheless.

“My Lord, when do you think the old ancestor Chu Zhenxiong of the Qian Dynasty will pass away?” Xue Qingyi suddenly asked.

Han Li paused and then responded, “Why does that concern you? According to my estimate, Chu Zhenxiong should have over forty years of life left.”

“Alright~” Xue Qingyi’s tone held a touch of resignation.

“Do you truly wish for The Li Manor to take its place?” Han Li inquired.

“I do ponder on it,” Xue Qingyi admitted openly. “If we become the imperial family of Daqian, then the cultivation of my Lord’s descendants would be even better supported.”

“The alliance between my Lord and the old ancestor didn’t specify that the imperial family of the Qian Dynasty must bear the surname Chu, did it?” Xue Qingyi looked up at her handsome husband with hopeful eyes.

If The Li Manor were to succeed, as the wife of Li Feiyu, the Lady of The Li Manor, she too would reap countless benefits. Cultivating to the Myriad Phenomena Realm would be effortless, and there would even be hope for her to advance to the True Martial Realm in the future.

“There is such a stipulation,” Han Li shook his head.

After a pause, Han Li added, “Moreover, I myself cannot turn the imperial family into puppets.”

The old fox Chu Dingqian had long considered this issue, leaving no such loopholes. He certainly did not wish for The Li Manor to benefit from the Qian Dynasty he worked so hard to establish.

Otherwise, what would have been the point of all his careful plotting?

Besides, Chu Dingqian had plans to seize another’s body for rebirth and use the vast cultivation resources of the imperial family to rapidly break through.

Xue Qingyi sighed quietly to herself, saying nothing more, and simply lay quietly in her husband’s arms.

“Qingyi, let’s try a new game,” Han Li suggested.

After whispering sweet nothings into Xue Qingyi’s ear and nibbling on her earlobe, Han Li whispered the details of the game to her.

Upon hearing what the game involved, a beautiful blush spread across Xue Qingyi’s pretty face, but she still softly consented with a murmur.

Excited, Han Li immediately set his plans for the evening into motion
