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

Chapter 172: Chapter 150: Husband Lacks Nothing, It’s the Wife Who Needs Tidying Up!_2

“Nearly ten thousand years’ worth of the Supreme Mysterious Spirit Fruit!”

The Old Blind Man didn’t even use his Divine Sense to look; he merely took a light sniff and couldn’t help but click his tongue.

This indeed was a treasure, of the top grade among Earth Rank Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures. If it aged a little longer, reaching ten thousand years, it could be considered a Heaven Rank treasure!

As for that seventh grade Demon Beast Core, it seemed to have been guarding the fruit, waiting for it to grow into a Heaven Rank before consuming it, but it was killed on the spot.

“Many thanks, Ancestor.”

Gu Changge didn’t stand on ceremony with the Old Ancestor, taking the two items and bowing respectfully.

The Old Blind Man also bowed in return, and then the two of them descended the mountain.

On the way, Gu Changge couldn’t help but murmur, “The Ancestor is really generous, every time we meet he always gives me some explosive gifts.”

“It seems that I can come to visit the Back Mountain whenever I have the time or not.”

He had just finished speaking when, whether it was because the Old Blind Man heard him and did so on purpose or by coincidence, Gu Changge walked past that stretch and, as if an illusion, disappeared behind him, obscured by an Array.

If the Ancestor hadn’t wanted him to see, he probably wouldn’t have been able to make the visit.

“…” Gu Changge felt the fluctuation of Spiritual Energy behind him, turned his head to look, and saw that the road was gone; he couldn’t help but twitch his mouth slightly.

Was that necessary?

He had just made a casual remark.

Soon, the two of them left the Back Mountain, and Gu Changge said, “I’m going to arrange a courtyard for Senior Xue.”

“If Young Master doesn’t mind, this old man thinks this small courtyard is quite nice.”

“Living here would be just perfect, so as not to lack vitality.”

The Old Blind Man, however, stopped and pointed to the small courtyard where Gu Changge used to live.

“This might be a bit too simple.”

Although Gu Changge had some memories of that small courtyard, after all, living there for over ten years, he wasn’t too attached to it.

One must always look ahead.

“It’s not a problem.”

“As long as Young Master doesn’t mind, this old man thinks it’s quite nice here.”

“After I went blind, my hearing became very sensitive. There’s too much noise living in the Inner Court.”

“This place, on the other hand, is peaceful, and very good.”

The Old Blind Man chuckled, dressed in his simple cloth clothes as usual; he wasn’t a man concerned with luxury.

“If that’s the case, then Senior Xue can live here.”

“If there is anything you need, feel free to let me know.”

“In the Gu Family, there’s no need to stand on ceremony, nor are there too many rules.”

Saying this, Gu Changge didn’t insist and, smiling, led him to the small courtyard.

“I’ll have someone send over a set of new bedding later.”

“If Senior Xue doesn’t have anything else to take care of, I’ll be going back first; my wife and the others are waiting.”

“I don’t even know if that little guy has gotten used to things yet.”

The courtyard didn’t need much tidying, with just a simple peach tree, a water vat, and a simple room.

“Then I’ll have to trouble Young Master.”

The Old Blind Man bowed slightly, seeming to be quite satisfied with the yard.

Once Gu Changge had left, he walked to the peach tree in the courtyard and gently touched it, murmuring, “Living in the place where the Child of Luck resided for eighteen years, staying here might even benefit from some of that luck.”

The main reason he chose this place over the Inner Court was his pursuit of that elusive luck!

He was a firm believer in the Path of Luck.

Indeed, this belief was the most important reason for his unwavering loyalty to Gu Changge!

…

Upon returning to the Inner Court, Gu Changge encountered a steward and casually ordered a new set of bedding to be sent to the small courtyard in the Back Mountain. He quickly returned to his own quarters at the Inner Court.

As he pushed open the door, the two people sitting in the arbor looked over at him.

Wang Yue gave a cheerful greeting, “Welcome back, Lord Jun,” while Yuan Youbai bounced up and rushed over.

She pounced on Lord Jun, greedily taking in the scent of him, and reluctantly let go only after a couple of deep breaths, clinging to the hem of his robe.

“How do you find it? Is everything to your liking?”

“If there’s anything missing from the courtyard, tell me.”

Gu Changge patted her little head, casually using Spiritual Energy to close the courtyard door, and activated the Isolation Array before discreetly asking.

“As long as Lord Jun is here, nothing else is lacking.”

Yuan Youbai looked up and earnestly replied, her eyes blinking.

“Is that so?”

Gu Changge chuckled, allowing her to pull him towards the arbor.

“How come you took so long to come back?” Wang Yue poured him a cup of tea, asking casually.

“I went to visit the Old Ancestor on the Back Mountain.”

Gu Changge had just sat down when Yuan Youbai naturally took a seat beside him, her little hands beginning to massage his leg.

Her actions caused Gu Changge to be slightly startled, and he looked down at her.

“Sister Princess said that Husband often works hard, so this massage will help Husband relax,” said Little Hanhan, meeting his gaze with a hee-hee laugh and revealing two small tiger teeth.

Seeing this, he did not say more, but merely gave that little head a rub.

He then took out the two items the Ancestor had bestowed and placed them on the table.

“Here, these two items are gifts from the Ancestor.”

“They happen to be one for each of you.”

“Can Youbai digest this Seventh Grade Demon Beast Core?” asked Gu Changge, looking at Little Hanhan.

“Mhm!”

“Definitely!”

Yuan Youbai nodded her head, indicating no problem!

Just sleep a little more, and she could certainly digest it—a Seventh Grade Demon Beast Core was a great nourishment for her.

As for the Supreme Mysterious Spirit Fruit, naturally, it was left for Wang Yue to refine.

“And what about yourself, Husband?”

Wang Yue glanced at the Supreme Mysterious Spirit Fruit, stroked her hair, and asked.

“The Ancestor also blessed me with other things.”

“Just focus on refining these two, I’m not lacking anything.”

“At the Gu Family, what’s my status? Young Master of the Gu Family, could I be lacking Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures to cultivate with?”

Gu Changge casually brushed it off with a plausible reason.

Wang Yue then picked up the Supreme Mysterious Spirit Fruit, pecked gently on Husband’s face, and with a smile, propped her pretty chin in her hands on the table, gazing at him.

How strange, why does Husband seem to become more and more handsome the more I look?

“Hm?”

Yuan Youbai glanced at Sister Princess, and then at Husband, who wore a light smile.

She imitated the actions, tiptoeing to peck a kiss on Husband’s face.

But unlike Sister Princess, she dared not linger; after the deed, she scampered toward the room.

“Wait a moment.”

“You haven’t taken your item yet.”

Gu Changge suddenly spoke up as a reminder when he saw this.

Little Hanhan halted abruptly, then walked back over, her head low, but Gu Changge could see the blush on her ears.

She quickly snatched up the Seventh Grade Demon Beast Core from the table, clutched it to her chest, and turned to dash back into the room.

Only when she was inside did she catch her breath with a few pats on her chest.

As if she had just done something quite thrilling!

Looking down at the Seventh Grade Demon Beast Core in her small hands, she felt a sweet warmth in her heart.

“Husband is so good to Youbai!”

She chuckled with a hee-hee, wiped the core on her body a few times, then cleansed it with Spiritual Energy, before suddenly opening her mouth to reveal a draconic shadow and inhaled the core with a gulp!

In the small courtyard, Wang Yue watched the fleeing figure with narrowed eyes and covered her mouth, chuckling.

“She really is cute.”

“It’s just a pity that the little one probably won’t understand matters of men and women for quite some time.”

“Husband will have quite a wait.”

“However, if Husband doesn’t want to wait, I reckon the little one wouldn’t refuse either.”

Wang Yue said this with a smile, looking at Husband.

“What are you saying!”

Gu Changge immediately raised his hand and knocked on her head.

“Ow…”

“I’m just considering Husband’s needs.”

Wang Yue said in a pitiful tone, rubbing her head and looking up at him softly.

“I think you haven’t been disciplined in too long…”

“My Wife is getting bolder by the day!”

Seeing her act this way, Gu Changge straightened his face and stood up to walk towards the main house.

Without needing any further words.

Wang Yue blinked, understanding very well, and quietly followed.

Who would discipline whom was still unknown!

Perhaps this time, I could turn the tables and become the master?

If we must fight, why waste words!

“This Princess has never been afraid!”

Muttering to herself, the two entered the main house and casually activated the Isolation Barrier, though it was superfluous. Meanwhile, in the adjacent room, Little Hanhan, having eaten the Seventh Grade Demon Beast Core, had already fallen asleep with a happy smile on her face.
