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

Chapter 41: Chapter 41: Whose Butt to Slap!? (Please Follow)

“Fine, if you won’t look, then don’t look…”

Seeing her so insistent, Gu Changge decided not to tease her any further.

Upon hearing his acquiescence, Liu Qingqing visibly sighed with relief.

“Take this Elixir and give it a try.”

Gu Changge had come this time with one thing he needed to verify.

He needed to know if his Daoist Couple took it, whether, as he suspected, he could receive the dual rewards.

As he spoke, he silently chanted in his mind and exchanged for a Rank 1 Root Bone Pill.

[Expends 20 Attribute Points to exchange for Rank 1 Root Bone Pill x1, which has been placed in the System Space.]

After the exchange, he pretended to take it out of the Space Ring, and in his hand, there now appeared a rather unremarkable-looking Elixir.

“What kind of Elixir is this?”

Liu Qingqing, curious, stepped closer to inspect the Elixir she had never seen before.

“It’s just a small health supplement pill.”

Gu Changge directly handed the pill over to her.

Ignoring his rather fanciful description, Liu Qingqing just lightly sniffed the Elixir and indeed detected a faint medicinal fragrance.

Without a second thought, she swallowed the Elixir.

The Elixir dissolved as soon as it entered her mouth, and a sweet taste of Spiritual Liquid settled in her stomach.

Instead of the rush of Spiritual Energy typically experienced with other Elixirs, she felt a slight warmth spreading through her body.

Meanwhile, Gu Changge indeed received a system notification, as expected.

[Daoist Couple Liu Qingqing has consumed a Rank 1 Root Bone Pill, granting +1 Root Bone, which the Host may also share.]

As he’d surmised!

Just as he had guessed, the moment the Elixir was consumed, he could share the award!

Without hesitation, he chose to share and immediately felt his Root Bone increase, reaching 103!

When he looked at the Daoist Couple panel, Liu Qingqing’s Root Bone had also changed, and there was now an option to share.

[Daoist Couple: Liu Qingqing][Root Bone: 96]Can share.

[Comprehension: 90]

[Cultivation Technique: Spirit Moon Technique (Earth Rank Top Grade)]

[Realm: Reach Profound Realm Perfection]

[Divine Skills: Soaring Edge Nine Swords (Dark Grade Top Grade·Small Success) Shadow Concealing Step (Earth Rank Low Grade·Small Success) Heavenly Cold Finger (Earth Rank Mid-Grade·Beginner)]

Just as he expected!

Seeing this, Gu Changge felt relieved; it seemed his idea was feasible.

It would be better to exchange for an Elixir to enhance his Daoist Couple’s Root Bone, rather than direct improvement of his own. Though the Elixir exchange cost double the points, he also received a double return, and his Daoist Couple’s Root Bone was also improved. After calculating, they were actually ahead!

After choosing to share the value on the sharing panel, his Root Bone saw another increase.

[Host Root Bone: 104]

Merely spending twenty Attribute Points to exchange for the Elixir had resulted in an increase of two points, which was already a significant gain!

After all, directly improving his own Root Bone would require a hundred Attribute Points per point!

This… was the correct way to utilize it!

“This…”

“How is it that I can faintly feel my meridians and Root Bone have both grown somewhat stronger?”

Liu Qingqing, sensing the changes in her body after consuming the Elixir, looked uncertainly at him and asked.

Any Elixir that could improve Root Bone was of considerable value.

Just like the Soul-Shaping Pill, a Heavenly Rank Elixir could only slightly increase her Root Bone. Gu Changge could see the exact numbers on the panel; a Soul-Shaping Pill could only increase her Root Bone by 5.

And it had to be the first time taking it. If she were to take a second pill, the effect could, at most, result in an increase of 1 point, and by the third it might not have any effect at all!

“Strengthening the body, a slight increase in Root Bone is quite normal.”

“Wait until the day after our wedding, I’ll prepare a surprise for my wife!”

Gu Changge chuckled but didn’t explain any further.

Since the method was feasible, he already had a plan. On their wedding day, he would directly exchange for enough Elixirs to boost Liu Qingqing’s Root Bone and Comprehension all the way to the hurdle of one hundred!

He would also give her the Sudden Enlightenment Pill.

“Alright, if there’s nothing else, I’m going to dust off my butt and leave.”

Getting up and stretching lazily, Gu Changge prepared to depart.

Liu Qingqing didn’t insist on him staying. After all, their marriage was only three days away, and right now, her heart was still somewhat nervous in front of Gu Changge.

But watching him, after his lazy stretch standing there, he showed no sign of leaving, just kept looking at her.

“What’s up?” asked Liu Qingqing, puzzled.

“I’ve got to dust off my butt before leaving,” Gu Changge repeated.

“?”

A big question mark seemed to hover over Liu Qingqing’s head, until she realized his gaze was fixed on her behind.

So when you said ‘dust off my butt,’ you weren’t talking about your own butt!?

“You…”

Liu Qingqing’s eyes widened warily as she watched him, her hands unconsciously covering her behind.

“My wife is really quite cute.”

“I’m off, I’m off.”

Gu Changge couldn’t help but laugh at the sight and didn’t tease her anymore. He walked over and pushed the door to leave.

But as he passed by Liu Qingqing, she involuntarily turned her body around, not daring to turn her back to him.

This guy… he might actually do what he said!

Only after he had gone did Liu Qingqing breathe a sigh of relief.

It was strange to think about it. She had already reached the Perfection of the Reach Profound Realm, which was way above his.

But every time, she ended up feeling bullied without the slightest inclination to retaliate!

“He said I was quite cute…”

A girl’s thoughts are always unpredictable. Though just a second ago she was huffing with annoyance, all of a sudden, she tilted her head slightly and felt somewhat shy for no reason.

In all these years, no one had ever commented on her that way.

But this was also largely due to her deliberately acting aloof at the Heavenly Cold Sect, avoiding unnecessary trouble, and focusing on her Cultivation without wanting to be too sociable.

After he left, Zhao Ling also returned to her room and began to gossip about their conversation.

Regarding her mother, she casually mentioned the events that had just transpired.

But she kept silent about the Marriage Manual.

“A surprise prepared for you?”

“Hehe…”

“By the way, don’t forget to read the book that Mom gave you. Can’t you give him a surprise too?”

“Eh?”

“Where’s the book?” @@novelbin@@

Zhao Ling, unlike her daughter, didn’t have such a thin skin, and started searching for the Newbie Guide on the bed that she had given her daughter!

It wasn’t until she saw her daughter blushingly take it out from her chest.

Her mother laughed meaningfully and said, “You say you don’t want this thing, but didn’t you keep it after all?”

“Alright, since the bridal attire is decided, I won’t bother you. Don’t go into closed-door Cultivation these next two days. Read the book more; it’ll be good for you both.”

Seeing her daughter about to explode, Zhao Ling calmly made her exit.

Leaving Liu Qingqing too embarrassed to even lift her head!

Clearly, it was because her mother hadn’t taken the book that Gu Changge almost discovered; she would have never actively kept it herself!

But her mother’s words lingered in her mind.

Maybe…

Just take a little look first?

“Let’s just have a look… It’s just out of curiosity, not for any other reason.”

She didn’t know who she was talking to, perhaps it was an attempt to deceive herself.

After setting up a barrier to ensure privacy, she finally opened the Marriage Manual seriously and began to study, her face flushed with shyness!
