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

Chapter 116: Chapter 112: Why is the topknot acting up? Two women head to Gu Hall!

Watching those sly little eyes through the misty water, Gu Changge strode forward directly.

Accompanied by her cry of surprise, he swept her up in a princess carry and was about to head back to the room for some serious business.

He had been occupied with hunting Demon Beasts these past few days and had forgotten to take care of his wife!

Besides slaying Demon Beasts to gain Attribute Points, wasn’t there another way?

“I… I’m not done soaking yet.”

“Moreover, my husband has been traveling for half a month, and you should soak in the hot springs to relieve your fatigue.”

Wang Yue said shyly, looking at the handsome face close at hand.

As she spoke, Gu Changge could distinctly feel a warm scent blowing on his neck.

“Seems like my wife doesn’t like it in the room?”

“That’s fine, this place is not bad either.”

Gu Changge raised his eyebrows slightly and set her down.

Seeing him looking at her, Wang Yue felt a bit uneasy but still helped him remove his clothes one by one.

The two of them leaned against the hot spring pool, which was much more spacious than the bathtub.

Despite the large space, Wang Yue kept intentionally scooting closer to him.

“Didn’t you say we should relieve some fatigue first?”

“Why the rush, my wife?”

Leaning against the edge, Gu Changge rested one hand on the side and pinched her chin with the other, smiling as he asked.

“I’m just a bit cold and wanted to warm up next to my husband. Is that not allowed?”

Despite her blush, Wang Yue stubbornly denied it.

“Oh?”

“How come I see my wife’s skin turning red and feeling quite warm to the touch?”

“Besides… a cultivator at the Perfection of the Reach Profound Realm, would you be cold?”

“And just to mention, it’s summer now.”

Gu Changge unapologetically exposed her.

The bluntly exposed Wang Yue fiercely glared at him.

Then…

She looped her hands around her fair swan neck from behind and tied up her hair.

“Huh?”

“Why tie up your hair?”

Gu Changge was somewhat dumbfounded, not having any buffer from one frame to the next.

Without answering his question, Wang Yue dove straight into the hot spring pool.

And… she probably wouldn’t be able to speak any time soon.

…

Elsewhere, at the Heavenly Cold Sect residence.

Although Liu Xin was somewhat disheveled, he felt much more relaxed.

At the Ruins Realm, he had just needed to use his Spiritual Energy to reattach his broken leg on the way back flying through the air, and now he just needed to rest quietly for at most a month to recover.

Most importantly, now that he had the word of Young Master Gu, he could finally rest easy.

When he returned to his residence, it didn’t take long before Zhu Qin, having received the news, came to find him.

“How are Junior Brother Liu’s injuries? Do you need any Elixirs?”

Zhu Qin had not gone out to hunt Demon Beasts for the past few days, spending every day anxiously waiting for Gu Changge to return to the city.

Upon seeing Liu Xin’s return, she guessed the situation.

“Thank you for your concern, Senior Sister. I just need some time to rest and will recover.”

“You want to know if Young Master Gu has returned, right?”

“He has already returned, and I don’t think he will leave the city for a while. He should still be in Gu Hall.”

Liu Xin politely declined her offer of an Elixir and directly addressed her intention with a bowed hand.

“Thank you, Junior Brother.”

“I won’t disturb your rest then. Farewell.”

Having received her answer, Zhu Qin didn’t waste words, smiled slightly, and turned to leave.

Watching her retreating figure, Liu Xin’s gaze held some profound meaning.

Senior Sister Zhu might be mistaken; underestimating Young Master Gu could lead to suffering.

Zhu Qin hadn’t gone far before encountering Yayun, who had also received the news.

Apparently, she was here to confirm the situation with Liu Xin too.

“Senior Sister, are you planning to go to Gu Hall on your own?”

“That might not be a good idea.”

“You and I, we are now in the same boat.”

Yayun smiled slightly and blocked her path.

“Where did that come from, Junior Sister?”

“I was just about to share the news with you; it’s no secret. How could I keep it from you?”

Zhu Qin also smiled, speaking offhandedly.

However, hearing herself described as a grasshopper, she felt a bit displeased; she was no grasshopper.

She… would be the only Sect Saintess of the Heavenly Cold Sect!

“Well, that’s a coincidence.”

“Senior Sister, please go ahead?”

Yayun stepped aside, and the two left the Heavenly Cold Sect’s residence together.

It was fortunate that Liu Qingqing was still hunting Demon Beasts outside the city, providing them with an opportunity.

No matter what, they had to act covertly; they could not openly vie for Young Master Gu’s favor in Liu Qingqing’s presence.

Even if he had the intention, he might not dare to agree in front of Junior Sister Liu.

“Senior Sister, do you think Young Master Gu will agree?” Yayun casually asked on the way.

Zhu Qin touched her own face, speaking with great confidence, “Why would he refuse?”

Compared to Liu Qingqing, they were not that inferior.

As cultivation progressed with the increase in Realm, it not only brought about changes in demeanor but also slightly affected one’s appearance. If one deliberately worked on it, the influence on appearance would grow more significant with each breakthrough in Realm.

But it is mostly female Cultivators who pursue these things. Like Gu Kuang, who was already a Cultivator of the Heavenly Gate Realm, he completely had the ability to remove the scar on his right eye, yet he had no intention of doing so.

In Gu Kuang’s view, it was both a disgrace and a reminder to himself.

“Indeed…”

“If he turns down those who come to him, then this Young Master Gu must be somewhat suspicious…”

Upon hearing her words, Yayun also giggled and spoke in a lowered voice.

She had tried as well, to support her with Brother… some even coveted her beauty.

But, what of that?

Once she became the Saintess, she would clearly delineate boundaries with them, and they would not dare to entangle her.

…

Soon, the two of them arrived in front of Gu Hall.

Facing the Gu Family Disciples of the Reach Profound Realm who came up to inquire, they both spoke amiably, “May I ask if Young Master Gu is currently in Gu Hall?”

“What do you seek from Young Master?” Instead of answering, the Gu Family Disciple asked with a cupped fist.

“We are sisters of Liu Qingqing, with important matters to notify Young Master Gu, please convey the message…”

Zhu Qin said with a gentle smile, slightly cupping her hands.

“Oh, you are the sisters of Young Lady.”

“Please wait a moment; I will report it right away.”

Upon hearing that they were junior sisters of Liu Qingqing, the Gu Family Disciple’s attitude improved a lot, and after making a respectful bow, he turned and left.

However, this gesture only increased the unpleasantness in their hearts.

In front of two beautiful Cultivators from the Ruins Realm, they wore no expression.

Why did their attitude change so much upon hearing that they were Liu Qingqing’s junior sisters?

However, to prevent Gu Changge from refusing to meet them, they could only suppress their discontent temporarily and quietly stood outside the door. @@novelbin@@

A moment later, the Reach Profound Realm direct lineage of the Gu Family arrived in front of Young Master’s side palace.

Facing the activated Isolation Array, he was momentarily unsure of what to do.

Triggering the array might disturb Young Master’s cultivation, which would not be good.

As he hesitated, Gu Qianjun, who had been closely observing the situation, walked out from another side palace.

“What business do you have with Young Master?” he asked the man.

“Brother Qian Jun, two women outside claiming to be the junior sisters of Young Lady have something they need from Young Master.”

Upon seeing him, he finally breathed a sigh of relief and explained the situation.

“I’ll go have a look with you.”

“If it’s a minor issue, try not to disturb Young Master.”

Gu Qianjun didn’t think much and directly walked outside.

If it was something minor, he would resolve it for Young Master, and if it was significant, he could inform Young Master later.

When he arrived outside, Gu Qianjun did not recognize the two women; he had not seen these two candidates for Heavenly Cold Sect Saintess.

“If you have any matters, feel free to share them with me.”

“Young Master is in seclusion; if it’s not urgent, I will handle it.”

Hearing this, Zhu Qin only smiled slightly, politely cupping her hands, “This matter, Brother, you might be unable to decide.”

“How would you know I can’t decide if you don’t tell me?” Gu Qianjun slightly frowned.

“My sister and I, mere women, seek a reliance in Duanbei City and have come to seek shelter with Young Master Gu.”

“Can Brother decide on this?”

Zhu Qin’s voice was soft, but it drew the attention of many people in front of the residence.

Regardless of whether they could negotiate, at least this would upset Liu Qingqing!

“This…” Gu Qianjun indeed found it difficult.

Given that the two women had attractive faces, good figures, and had already reached the Early Stage of the Ruins Realm, the Young Master might indeed fancy them…

But he really couldn’t decide on this matter.

“Please follow me to Gu Hall to wait; Young Master just returned from Duanbei City and should be resting now.”

“Once Young Master has finished resting, I will inform him of this matter.”

Deciding thus, Gu Qianjun led the two directly into the Gu family residence, planning to have them wait in the guest hall.

But along the way, a Gu Family Disciple beside them recognized the identity of the two.

“Isn’t the person Brother Qian Jun is escorting one of the candidates for Heavenly Cold Sect Saintess?”

Gu Qianjun didn’t recognize them, but those who had been watching from the city walls these past few days had seen them!

Hearing this, Gu Qianjun’s steps faltered.

“I forgot to ask you two for your esteemed names, so I can report to Young Master.”

Turning his head to look at the two women, Gu Qianjun frowned, wanting to confirm.

“Zhu Qin, one of the candidates for Heavenly Cold Sect Saintess.”

“Yayun, also a candidate for Saintess.”

The two women, unafraid, declared their identities.

In the Gu family residence, revealing their identities outright was actually safer; if they didn’t, the Gu Family could find an excuse to suppress them, and they wouldn’t be able to explain themselves!

“…”

“What are your intentions?”

Gu Qianjun felt a bit overwhelmed; these two Saintess candidates had sought out Young Master directly.

“Brother, just help us pass the message.”

“If Young Master Gu does not wish to see us, we will leave on our own,”

Zhu Qin smiled confidently.

Seeing this, Gu Qianjun said no more, guided them to the place, and directly left.

He also instructed others to keep an eye on them.

He was not in a hurry to wake Young Master; this round of running around should allow Young Master to rest well, especially since these two did not seem to plan on leaving without seeing Young Master.

Upon returning to the side palace, Gu Qianjun constantly watched when the Isolation Barrier of Young Master’s area would close.

“Have you thought about how to speak later?”

Zhu Qin casually sat there, watching the Gu Family Disciples outside, wondering about something in her heart.

“Just as we discussed on the way here.”

Yayun dreamed of attaining the support of the Gu Family, and for that, she was willing to pay any price, ready to do anything for Young Master Gu.
