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

Chapter 139: Chapter 129: I Really Didn’t Think! No, I Think My Husband Can Have It!_2

He just didn’t want to use that sort of method to imprison her.

Having her stay on as a personal maid… wouldn’t that work too?

But as he looked at the little one’s pitiful eyes, Gu Changge found himself at a loss for words.

He opened his mouth.

In the end, he didn’t speak and just nodded slightly.

“By the way, how old are you?”

Whether or not she was a child bride didn’t matter for the moment; at least he wanted to put the little one at ease.

It was at this time that he couldn’t help but ask about her age.

Seeing him nod, Yuan Youbai’s eyes brightened, and she hurriedly raised her hand to wipe the tears from her eyes.

Obediently counting on her fingers, she said, “Little Bai should be just one hundred and fifty years old this year…”

“So young!?”

Gu Changge widened his eyes in surprise.

One hundred and fifty years old and she’s a child bride?

Who’s the child here?

He was only nineteen!

“My young friend…”

“That’s not how it’s calculated.”

“Dragon Clan has a long lifespan, so you have to calculate their age at least ten times that of the Human Clan.”

“Even their wisdom unfolds with age.”

“So right now, her thinking is about that of a fifteen- or sixteen-year-old girl from our Human Clan.”

Old Blind Man tapped the black staff in his hand, and, thinking back on the little one’s previous actions, he couldn’t help but add, “It’s possible she’s not even at that stage yet.”

“Alright, then…”

“Let’s leave it at that for now.”

“You can stay in this courtyard for the time being.”

“If you need anything, just tell me or your… sister here.”

“You fainted outside the city today; you must have been injured.”

“First, rest well and heal your wounds; the matters concerning the Central State need not worry you too much for now.”

“The elder has said that your mother is safe for the time being, as long as nothing happens to you.”

Gu Changge looked at the little one in front of him, finding it hard to believe she had already lived a full one hundred and fifty years!

Yet her thinking and intelligence seemed just like that of a fifteen- or sixteen-year-old girl from the Human Clan.

Even her appearance was the same.

To say that he had a child bride, a one hundred and fifty-year-old child bride…

He found it somewhat absurd!

But as for this so-called child bride, it was just to placate the little one; from the looks of it earlier, if he didn’t agree, she would have burst into tears again.

He couldn’t stand to see a porcelain-doll-like little girl cry in front of him…

“Okay!”

As he spoke, Yuan Youbai obediently nodded her head.

“Stand up now…”

“Why are you still kneeling?”

Gu Changge then remembered to reach out and help her up.

Though this little one had her moods changing constantly, she seemed considerably happier now, despite still looking rather melancholic.

“My young friend…”

“Truly impressive.”

Old Blind Man’s eyelids twitched slightly; he was utterly convinced.

So this was what being a Child of Luck meant…

If he hadn’t seen it with his own eyes, even if someone else had told him about today’s events, he would have taken it as just a story.

And just like that, he had tamed a Young Dragon, and, unless something unexpected happened, Yuan Youbai was sure to be wholeheartedly devoted to him!

The growth potential of the Dragon Clan was quite frightening; as long as they didn’t die young, advancing beyond the Ninth Grade was almost a certainty!

However, there was a downside: the Dragon Clan’s reproduction was difficult, which made them exceedingly rare, and in the Central State, the Human Clan was still predominant.

“Speaking of which, on this trip to the Demon Beast Forest, the elder also found some Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures.”

“Among them, there were Purple Spirit Flowers suitable for healing wounds.”

“You should take a look, my young friend, these items are just a belated greeting gift that I owed you.”

Saying this, Old Blind Man casually threw a Storage Pouch onto the stone table before Gu Changge.

With no one else around, Gu Changge simply took out all the items from the Storage Pouch and laid them out on the stone table.

It had to be said, a Ninth Grade Annihilation Realm’s haul from a trip deep into the Demon Beast Forest was not insignificant.

The stone table was piled high.

There was a piece of special Meteorite Iron that he didn’t recognize, seven or eight kinds of Earth Rank Spiritual Medicines, and a segment of Thunderstruck Wood that was at least ten-thousand years old.

In addition, there was an inner core from a Seventh Grade Unlimited Realm Demon Beast and other valuable parts from the same beast’s body.

Although Old Blind Man didn’t intentionally plan to kill those Demon Beasts, when he was harvesting a particular Spiritual Medicine, a Seventh Grade Unlimited Realm Demon Beast decided to launch a sneak attack.

That ended up becoming part of his gains.

“This Meteorite Iron and the Ten-thousand-year-old Thunderstruck Wood, my young friend, can be used to create a lower Earth Rank Magic Treasure if you find someone to refine them.”

“`

“As for these Spiritual Medicines…”

“`

Old Blind Man wore a light smile and introduced the names and effects of the Spiritual Medicines one by one.

Liu Qingqing couldn’t help but exclaim from the side, each of these items was worth a fortune.

A Ninth Grade Annihilation Realm Great Power could easily obtain them from the Demon Beast Forest in just over a dozen days.

But…

In reality, a Ninth Grade Great Power would not easily venture into the Demon Beast Forest, and would not bother going there for these items unless necessary.

Not to mention there were hardly many Ninth Grade Great Powers in the Northern Domain, at most fewer than ten.

Most who broke through to the Ninth Grade would go to Central State in search of higher breakthroughs.

As for those old monsters above the Ninth Grade in the Northern Domain, they were even less likely to leave their clans or power bases.

One reason was the fear of causing unnecessary misunderstandings, and the other was to avoid any accidents befalling their family.

“Is this the Purple Spirit Flower?”

“Take it and refine it.”

After listening to Old Blind Man’s introduction, Gu Changge took out one of the Top Grade Earth Rank Spiritual Medicines and handed it directly to Yuan Youbai.

“Thank you…”

The little one took the Purple Spirit Flower and softly voiced her thanks.

“Go on, get your injuries healed quickly.”

Gu Changge ruffled her head, and although he was somewhat surprised to hear she was one hundred fifty years old, he had forgotten about it in this moment; wasn’t she just a little girl?

Hearing his words, Yuan Youbai walked towards the house with the Purple Spirit Flower but kept looking back every three steps, as if fearing he would suddenly leave and abandon her.

“Go on, don’t overthink it.”

Seeing this, Gu Changge softly smiled and comforted her.

Upon hearing his words, the little one finally closed the door and started preparing to refine the Purple Spirit Flower to heal inside the house.

After she entered the room, Old Blind Man casually set up a barrier of isolation.

“What is it?” Gu Changge inquired, puzzled.

“She may not know…”

“That Endless Sea is actually nine deaths and one life, or even ten deaths without life.”

“If that True Dragon hadn’t been injured, it would have been fine, but with severe injuries, falling into the Endless Sea is almost certain death.”

“But it’s better for the little one not to know.”

“At least she has hope.”

Old Blind Man slightly shook his head and sighed, revealing the true situation.

At least, when he left Central State, it was true that the True Dragon had not perished.

Uncertain whether it was alive or dead was also true.

“So there’s still a chance, isn’t there?”

Gu Changge said unconcernedly.

Hearing this, Old Blind Man suddenly stared blankly for a moment.

A bold idea flashed through his mind.

Yes…

There was a chance.

This little one had formed a relationship with that Child of Luck from the Gu Family; perhaps the True Dragon really had a sliver of chance for survival?

When a sliver of hope meets a Child of Luck whose luck defies the heavens…@@novelbin@@

Wasn’t that turning misfortune into fortune?

Old Blind Man’s Cultivation Technique was special; it belonged to the arts of divination. He wouldn’t dare to claim to see through Heaven’s secrets, but he was certainly capable of calculating and he valued luck greatly for this reason!

“What plans does the senior have next?”

“Are you going back to Central State?”

“Guarding the path isn’t truly necessary, but if I go to Central State in the future, having this relationship in mind, I would certainly give priority to the Sword Sect.”

Gu Changge casually asked Old Blind Man, looking at him.

“Can Old Blind Man reside here for a few days…”

But Old Blind Man had not yet made that difficult decision, he asked with a slight bow.

“Of course, there’s no problem.”

“The courtyard next door is currently empty. If senior doesn’t mind, you can move right in.”

Gu Changge nodded slightly and laughed, pointing to the courtyard next door that Gu Qianjun had chosen to be close to him.

It was also vacant now.

“Then I thank you, young friend…”

Old Blind Man bowed and without further words, went to the courtyard.

He had an idea in mind, but… making this decision was not easy.

The pressure he faced was indeed not small.

“Husband… what do you think of that little… little sister?”

Liu Qingqing blinked and finally couldn’t resist asking.

“Wife, stop teasing… It was only a stopgap, I really didn’t mean it!”

Gu Changge immediately said seriously.

Liu Qingqing pursed her lips and whispered, “I think… it could be.”

“Ah?”
