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

Chapter 141: Chapter 131: Mid-Stage of Reach Profound Realm! Did Lord Husband Gain a Child Bride!?

Half a month had passed in the blink of an eye.

During this time, Yuan Youbai had been healing in seclusion within the small courtyard, and even with the Purple Spirit Flower, her wounds had not fully recovered.

However, she didn’t seclude herself every day, and whenever she felt Liu Qingqing enter the yard, she would temporarily set aside her healing to inquire about various matters concerning Gu Changge.

It seemed she had completely accepted her identity as a child bride.

And she was actively adapting and trying to understand Gu Changge.

Regarding this, Gu Changge didn’t pay too much attention; he hadn’t even visited the small courtyard again.

He thought that once her injuries were healed, she would probably come around, and he could then keep her by his side.

Just as his wife had said, the potential of the Dragon Clan was high, and she might become one of his sources of support in the future.

But the matter of the child bride, he hadn’t taken it seriously.

That day, Gu Changge concluded his cultivation practice in the side hall.

And skillfully collected the results of his Daoist Couple’s cultivation from the day before.

Although the speed of his realm’s growth had slowed down a bit after breaking through to the Reach Profound Realm, partly because Liu Qingqing recently had to go hunting in the Demon Beast Forest, which delayed her cultivation time,

This half month had still led to another breakthrough in his realm.

“Reach Profound Realm, Mid-Stage…”

“It’s done.”

After he collected the results of his Daoist Couple’s cultivation from the previous day, he broke through to the Mid-Stage of the Reach Profound Realm without any hindrance!

His strength once again saw a significant enhancement.

What attracted his attention the most was the Twelfth Grade Golden Lotus within his Qi Sea.

If he had previously felt that the Golden Lotus was nurturing something and it was an illusion, now there was no doubt about it!

Upon internal inspection, he could clearly see an irregularly shaped embryonic form at the very center of the Golden Lotus, which seemed to be composed of the same material as the Golden Lotus itself, entirely made of Spiritual Energy, but it also had a tangible characteristic.

“Probably won’t be fully formed until I break through to Reach Profound Perfection.”

Feeling the progress of the embryo’s growth after his breakthrough to the Mid-Stage of the Reach Profound Realm, he had a rough idea in his mind.

Mentally calling upon it, a panel appeared before his eyes:

[Host: Gu Changge]

[Root Bone: 300]

[Comprehension: 235]

[Cultivation Techniques: Emperor Dragon Control Secret, Spirit Moon Technique, Mystic Sky Technique.]

[Realm: Reach Profound Realm·Mid-Stage (1/100)]

[Divine Skills: Emperor Seal (Heaven), Soaring Dragon Transformation (Earth), Dragon Roar Sword Technique (Earth), Heavenly Cold Finger (Earth), Shadow Concealing Step (Earth), Sharp Edge Nine Swords (Mystic).]

[Attribute Points: 10200]

“Although the rise in realm has slowed down a little recently.”

“The Attribute Points, on the other hand, have been quite fruitful.”

“This is the first time I’ve broken through the ten-thousand mark!”

Looking at his panel, Gu Changge was very pleased with a slight smile.

Ever since his wife had broken through to the Ruins Realm, she had harvested even more during her trials in the Demon Beast Forest.

Originally, she only occasionally dealt the finishing blow to Demon Beasts of the Ruins Realm, earning a thousand Attribute Points as a reward.

However, recently, his wife had set her sights directly on the Demon Beasts of the Ruins Realm, joining forces with her two senior sisters, and no longer actively considering the Demon Beasts of the Qi Sea Realm.

With her strength now at the Ruins Realm level, she was capable of more than just dealing the finishing blow; opportunities naturally increased.

A single Demon Beast of the Ruins Realm was worth a full thousand Attribute Points!

“Comprehension is only sixty-five points away from the three-hundred mark.”

“If I exchange for a second-grade Comprehension Pill…”

“Six thousand six hundred Attribute Points would be enough!”

“The rest can be used to exchange for some Root Bone Pills for my wife.”

After some mental calculation, he had a plan in his mind.

Now, his wife had been in the trial for three months, with only about a month left.

There should still be plenty to accumulate!

However, even if he felt the breakthrough speed had been slightly affected, to others, it looked monstrous!

Having only been in Duanbei City for a short one to two months, he had progressed from the original Sky-controlling Realm to the current Mid-Stage Reach Profound Realm!

Who else progressed through cultivation like that?

If there had been some great opportunity in the Demon Beast Forest, advancing two Small Realms might have been acceptable.

But since he came here, apart from going out of the city once to satisfy his curiosity, he had not left Duanbei City.

Oh no… more precisely, he did leave the city once.

The second time he left the city, he only went a hundred miles out and didn’t even encounter any Demon Beasts he wanted to deal with, returning with a child bride on his back!@@novelbin@@

How could anyone make sense of this?

“Calculating the time, my wife should be back soon.”

Muttering to himself, Gu Changge then directly spent a considerable sum to exchange for the most valuable Elixir to date!

[Second-grade Comprehension Pill (+35) X1 has been distributed to System Space.]

[Attribute Points spent: 7000]

[Remaining Attribute Points: 3200]

“Well, there goes my Attribute Points that had just surpassed ten thousand.”

Gu Changge chuckled lightly, feeling not the slightest bit distressed.

Whether spent early or late, the points had to be used, and funding his wife only strengthened him; there was nothing to agonize over!

The stronger his wife became, the more unrestrained he could relax, and the more Attribute Points she would bring in, a virtuous cycle!

When he finished his cultivation and left the room,

He noticed Wang Yue also coming out from the Seclusion Room, ready to head out.

“Where is my wife going?”

Gu Changge casually asked.

Hearing his words, Wang Yue halted her steps, turning her head to look at him with a mixture of sadness and blame.

“Where else?”

“To take care of the child bride for my husband, oh no, the third little sister.”

She hadn’t anticipated.

That after being in seclusion for just half a month, she would have to call him this shameful ‘master’ because of the bet.

“`

So, what happened?

As soon as I ended my seclusion, I thought about strolling around the Gu Family’s residence to get some fresh air.

Then I overheard many people discussing how the Young Master had just brought back a child bride!?

Turns out, my husband couldn’t bear the loneliness while I was in closed-door cultivation for half a month?

“It was just a misunderstanding…” Gu Changge rubbed his forehead, somewhat helpless.

“A misunderstanding?”

“My Lord must not be aware, these past two days that little girl has been asking me about my Lord every day.”

“She listened so attentively.”

“And just yesterday, when she left, she begged me to come and tell her even more today…”

Wang Yue brushed through her long hair, not buying a word from my Lord’s ghost stories.

“I…”

Just as my Lord was about to say something more, she had already walked away, leaving a remark behind, “My Lord, no need to explain any further. Anyway, the little girl is quite endearing, so I’ll go and comfort your little wife for you.”

Regarding this suddenly acquired child bride, Wang Yue, like Liu Qingqing, couldn’t help feeling pity for her upon learning of her past.

And the little girl was indeed well-behaved and sensible; aside from asking about my Lord, she also shared some interesting tales from Central State, which piqued Wang Yue’s interest.

Moreover…

Now with this little girl, I’m not the youngest one anymore!

Pretty good, very nice!

Definitely should give her strong support, can’t let my husband’s disposition get the better, can’t let Youbai run away!

On this point, she and Liu Qingqing stood united!

“What is all this…”

Gu Changge, watching her leave without turning back, simply left the side hall as well, looking up to the sky with a long sigh.

“Young Master…”

“I have something to say, but I’m not sure if it’s appropriate,” Gu Qianjun appeared, not knowing whether he had been waiting outside or if he had just finished his own cultivation.

Seeing the Young Master like this, he couldn’t resist moving forward to salute and speak.

“If you’re unsure whether it’s appropriate, then it’s better not to say anything.” Gu Changge waved his hand dismissively.

“…”

“Maybe I should just say it. Otherwise, I’ll feel too stifled.”

Gu Qianjun hesitated but still felt he would feel better if he vented.

“No need for you to say it.”

“Not just about accusing this young master of pretending to be innocent after taking advantage…”

“You don’t understand, sigh…”

Gu Changge shook his head, patting his shoulder, saying.

Through their interaction over this period, Gu Qianjun had become much more open in front of him. If it was when they first met, he would not have joked with himself like this, being overly respectful, but Gu Changge felt that was uncomfortable and corrected it many times until finally, there was an improvement.

“Uh, now I feel even more uncomfortable…”

About to speak his mind but preempted by the Young Master, Gu Qianjun drooped his head, speaking weakly and dejectedly.

He simply followed behind the Young Master without saying another word.

Gu Changge walked towards the outside of the residence, still thinking about another trip to Duanbei City to pick up some bargains.

…

Meanwhile, in the Gu Family’s residence Council Hall.

Including Gu Kuang, three Elders from the Heavenly Gate Realm were gathered.

Even Gu Wanquan, the Annihilation Realm Elder tasked with guarding Duanbei City, had made a rare appearance.

Looking at Old Blind Man, a figure of the Ninth Grade Annihilation Realm, everyone was puzzled.

“You mean to say, you want to become a guardian for my grandson…no, a runner?”

Gu Kuang frowned, incredulous.

This mighty Ninth Grade Annihilation Realm great power, stronger than himself, wanted to be a runner for my grandson?

“It’s not runner but a follower.”

“There’s a fundamental difference between the two…”

The Old Blind Man inwardly thought how crude the Elder’s way of speaking was!

What does runner mean?

How could he, a Ninth Grade great power, be called a runner?

But before he could explain in detail, the main seat’s Gu Wanquan interjected, “Daoist Fellow, I also can’t figure it out, what exactly are you after?”

“Does my Gu Family have something you need?”

“In any case, you can’t have any designs on my Gu Family’s Young Master, otherwise…”

Old Blind Man’s proposal today was something they found impossible to understand, even suspecting he had ulterior motives!

“I’ve already told you, haven’t I?”

“You have no idea of the true terrifying aspect of that kid.”

“His talent even comes in at number two!”

“What’s truly important… is luck!”

“Great Destiny, do you understand?”

Old Blind Man was honestly close to breaking down at this point. That kid had previously refused his protection, and now that he wanted to follow him, he approached the Gu Family asking them to say a few good words on his behalf.

Now they doubted him, too?

Why was everyone in the Gu Family so stubborn!?

“Great Destiny?”

Hearing this, Gu Kuang and the others exchanged glances, their eyes falling on Gu Wanquan, the one with the highest realm.

The Old Blind Man as well, hoped that Gu Wanquan would say something useful, but after a moment of contemplation, he said:

“Hmm…”

“No idea.”

“This idea of luck is so elusive; how can you be so certain that my Gu Family’s Young Master is some… Great Destiny?”

Old Blind Man was so frustrated he wanted to throw down his walking stick!

Thus, he could only helplessly produce a few copper coins he used for divination, planning to use an actual demonstration to show them what luck meant!

If he kept talking to them, he worried that before he could explain luck, he would pass out from fury!
