Concubines Lead to Strength: The Path to Immortality Begins with Taking a Spouse

Chapter 114 111 The Princess Is Determined! Slipping? Clearly Cunning!_2

"Speaking of which, the Imperial Family also has a residence in Duanbei City."

"Wife, you've been here so long, won't you visit once?"

Gu Changge casually asked when he heard this.

"..."

"There's no need."

"In my father's eyes, my only worth now is to observe the Gu Family's movements, to judge when their Ancestor's lifespan will be exhausted."

Wang Yue shook her head slightly, her expression unusually downcast.

Originally, while in the Imperial City's Princess Mansion, she felt only lonely, but didn't see it as an issue.

However, during her time with the Gu Family, after witnessing the kind of emotions that a family should have, she realized that she was merely a pawn in her father's eyes.

"Sadly, the Emperor of the Northern Domain clearly guessed wrong."

Gu Changge smiled faintly, his rapid advancement had nothing to do with the transfer of power from the Ancestor.

Changing the subject, he then asked, "Wife, have you ever considered reporting the true situation back?"

"Perhaps it might garner the attention of the Emperor of the Northern Domain."

Wang Yue gave a bitter smile and rolled her eyes, saying, "If I could accurately report the time of the Gu Family Ancestor's life being exhausted, indeed that would be seen as a great merit, my father might be so pleased that he'd bestow some status and treasures upon me."

"But if I tell my father this is all a misunderstanding, what merit would that be considered?"

"Moreover, now that I am married into the Gu Family, he surely won't let me return to the Imperial City; I'm simply cast aside."

Having said that, she blinked her eyes, and after realizing something, she asked, "Lord Husband, are you testing me?"

"Not at all, just a casual question."

Gu Changge laughed lightly and shook his head. Compared to Qingqing's simplicity, Wang Yue, who was born into the royal family, had much deeper thoughts.

But at least for now, there seemed to be nothing to worry about too much.

"I feel like taking a bath first, would Lord Husband like to join me?"

Wang Yue didn't want to continue the subject either, tilting her head and asking with a squint and a smile.

"I'll go tidy up the room a bit."

Although Gu Changge had many thoughts in mind, he 'declined' with a slight shake of his head; he'd already decided to exchange for a first-order Elixir later and raise Wang Yue's Root Bone and Comprehension to one hundred each!

Considering the Demon Beasts he had slain on his way back, and with Qingqing having killed a few more,

He was now in possession of more than nine Attribute Points—a fortune—the exchange of twenty Attribute Points for each Elixir, without feeling the slightest remorse!

He could even afford to use them as bathwater without running out!

Thinking of all these things, he was already heading towards the room.

Leaving behind a dumbfounded Wang Yue.

"Does this Princess really fall short when compared to Liu Qingqing!?"

"With her, he takes a lovers' bath, but with this Princess, he still has things to tidy up in the room!?"

"When can't you tidy up a room? Why must it be now?"

It wasn't until his figure entered the room in the side hall that Wang Yue snapped back to reality and stamped her foot in anger.

Huffing, she turned and dove into the palace with the hot springs.

A moment later...

The more Wang Yue thought about it, the angrier she became; she held her breath while squatting in the water, squeezing those twin softnesses onto her legs, which was just too much! @@novelbin@@

'Gurgle gurgle—'

With an exhaled breath and a burst of bubbles, she surfaced from the water.

Droplets of water slid down her crystal-clear skin, tickling her.

"No, that won't do..."

"I have to think of a way to lure him in, even if it means tricking him!"

"How could I, the Princess, be lacking in any way?"

Wang Yue looked down but couldn't see the tips of her toes.

She was not lacking at all!

And she was bigger than Liu Qingqing!

Don't men all like bigger sizes?

Moreover, in terms of appearance, Wang Yue also considered herself no less than Liu Qingqing.

"Today, this Princess must have him!"

Aside from being unconvinced, what's more important was that she wanted to verify her guess!

Whether that Innate Furnace Tripod Saint Body of his was only effective when taken internally!

Liu Qingqing had already become an Acquired Spirit Body.

If it worked, naturally, she wanted it too!

For a moment, she began to activate her little brain, pondering how to entice and devour him!

...

When Gu Qianjun learned that the Young Master had changed residences, he simply packed his belongings and headed straight for the side hall.

Arriving at the door to the Young Master's side hall, he refrained from disturbing, and simply sat down on the ground.

After returning with them, Gu Kuang had discussed some matters with the other two Elders and happened to come back just in time.

Seeing the figure sitting in front of the hall, he couldn't help but step forward, "Are you planning to just guard this place, lad?"

"Elder..."

Gu Qianjun, hearing the familiar voice, quickly got up and gave a respectful salute.

His respect for the Elder was evident from his expression alone.

"How do you think my grandson fared on this trip?"

Gu Kuang waved his hand dismissively, asking casually.

"Qian Jun does not dare to judge the Young Master..." Gu Qianjun spoke solemnly.

"Speak your mind, you're not an outsider."

"Can't you loosen up a bit, why be so uptight all the time?"

"I, too, want to know what kind of assessment you have of my grandson in your eyes."

Gu Kuang was always secretly protecting them on this journey, but he was curious about Gu Qianjun's opinion of his grandson.

"Very well..."

"Everything is very good."

Gu Qianjun was silent for a long while before finally mustering up only these few words.

"Tch..."

"Really, lad."

"Never mind, from today you will stay in my side hall temporarily."

"Always being outside isn't proper."

Hearing this, Gu Kuang sighed and shook his head helplessly, leading him towards his own side hall.

Gu Qianjun highly obeyed the Ancestor's words, even if it meant giving up his life!

Without any fuss, he silently followed the Ancestor into the side hall.

"Moreover, if you have spare time on a normal day."
