Concubines Lead to Strength: The Path to Immortality Begins with Taking a Spouse-Chapter 147 - 136: When Will You Be Home? Lord Jun, Little Bai is Hungry!

Chapter 147: Chapter 136: When Will You Be Home? Lord Jun, Little Bai is Hungry!

Although it was just a fleeting moment, the Old Blind Man knew it wasn’t an illusion.

But he didn’t make a big deal out of it and silently calmed himself.

After Gu Changge briefly explained his intentions, the old man immediately expressed his desire to have a celebratory banquet that night.

The Gu Hall was brightly lit with laughter and cheerful voices throughout the night, though no outsiders were invited.

According to Gu Changge’s wishes, the celebration wasn’t too grand.

It was just a simple celebration, and they didn’t even ask Yuan Youbai to attend, to prevent Little Hanhan from feeling nervous during such an occasion.

...

“Our Young Master has married three Daoist Couples in less than half a year now, hasn’t he?”

“I heard from Brother Qian Jun that the new Young Lady is no ordinary person…”

“She’s the one whom the Young Master picked up from outside the city!”

“Hey, that’s not right. I saw it with my own eyes from the city wall that day; she was clearly a child bride prepared by the Second Elder for the Young Master.”

“I thought I heard the Young Lady was from the Dragon Clan of the Central State?”

“Let it go, why worry about such things? It’s not like we have the same fate as the Young Master.”

“True, true. Let’s just drink. The past few years in Duanbei City have been tough enough; we’ve rarely had the chance to drink to our heart’s content.”

“Don’t mention it… things have been a bit easier lately. Using the Young Master’s method, scavenging the Demon Beasts from the Heavenly Cold Sect outside the city really saves effort. It’s a pity that they now have little motivation to leave the city!”

The younger generation within the Gu Hall relaxed for a rare moment, not thinking about the Demon Beasts outside the city.

Gu Changge took the opportunity to drink some Spiritual Wine with the old man, lightly smiling and toasting in response to the Deacons who came up to offer drinks.

Unaware, he had transitioned from being an invisible member of the Gu Family to a person of great importance.

“I heard that recently, the young master took action and killed two disciples from the Immortal Ascension Sect?”

After three rounds of drinks, the Old Blind Man suddenly asked.

“That’s true,” Gu Changge nodded slightly.

“What I said the other day was not meant to alarm you without cause.”

“That Young Dragon is not the most important part, but what matters is the True Dragon behind her.”

“Now that the disciples of the Immortal Ascension Sect are aware of her whereabouts, the news should have reached the Central State by now.”

“Although Sages above the ninth grade usually do not leave the Central State easily.”

“And would not interfere much with affairs in the Four Domains, but to be safe, the young master should consider returning to the family.”

The Old Blind Man said thoughtfully after a moment.

Despite the fact that the Gu Family, as the foremost clan in the Northern Domain, also had a Great Power above the ninth grade, Duanbei City did not.

Even though it was highly unlikely for a Sage from the Central State to personally come here over a Young Dragon, it was still better to be safe.

At least back at the Gu Family, even if a Sage came looking, a confrontation wouldn’t likely escalate.

Compared to the stubborn old coots of the Four Domains, the Sages from the Central State value their lives more and are unwilling to take risks that might force their enemies into desperate actions that could drag them down as well.

“Once my wife finishes her training, we should return to the family,” Gu Changge agreed upon hearing this and nodded slightly.

“If the young master already has a plan in mind, then I will not say any more,” the Old Blind Man grinned, saying no more.

“Grandfather, how much longer do you plan to stay in Duanbei City?” Gu Changge turned and asked the old man.

“In about another five years or so, we should be able to push the No Master Land forward by another three hundred miles.”

“When it’s time to rebuild Duanbei City and divide the spoils, that’s when we’ll return to the family,” Gu Kuang put down his Wine Gourd, silently calculating the timeline and said.

Speaking of that, when Gu Changge first arrived in Duanbei City, only fifty miles outside the city was a safe area, but now it had already expanded to a safety zone of eighty miles.

Logically speaking, as the Young Master of the Gu Family, he should have stayed in Duanbei City to lead the many disciples of the Gu Family to explore the No Master Land.

However, the talent he had shown was too astonishing. Even if he was willing to stay, including Gu Kuang, all the Elders unanimously indicated it was not advisable.

Even the Ancestor from the Gu Family’s Back Mountain had been alerted by him and specifically instructed Gu Wanquan to ensure that there would be no mishaps in Duanbei City.

“Speaking of which, what Realm were you in when you left home?” Gu Wanquan suddenly asked with an odd expression on his face.

“It seems I was in the Late Stage of the Qi Sea Realm,” Gu Changge replied somewhat thoughtfully.

“Click…”

“You’re probably close to the Late Stage of the Reach Profound Realm by now, right?”

“You’ve been here less than two months and you’ve broken through nearly an entire Great Realm!”

“When you go back, even the Ancestor would probably be shocked.”

Gu Wanquan clicked his tongue repeatedly, looking at the youngster with the eyes one would use on a little monster.

“That’s still early… I’ve only just broken through to the Mid-Stage of the Reach Profound Realm,” Gu Changge said with an embarrassed smile, gesturing with his hand, but it was undeniable that when it was time to return to the family, he would probably at least have broken through to the Late Stage of the Reach Profound Realm.

“Looks like you, lad, are pretty bored here.”

“There’s no need to keep company with us old folks; if you need to cultivate, then go and cultivate,” Gu Wanquan said, waving his hand.

“That would be good.”

“Then, Changge will leave first,” Gu Changge, welcoming the peace, got up, saluted the crowd with a slight bow, and left the gathering.

“Is the Young Master going back to the Wedding Night chambers?”

“Hehe… Lucky again!”

“Should we go make some noise for the Wedding Night?”

“Don’t talk nonsense. Do you understand anything? The Young Master’s child bride is still young!”

“That’s right. I saw her at the city gate. She’s just a little girl.”

“Besides, would you dare to make trouble?”

“Have you not seen the Young Master’s methods?”

Seeing the Young Master leave the gathering, a group of Gu Family disciples began to wink and nudge each other.

Hearing this, Gu Changge turned his head back and laughed lightly, and immediately those people shrank their necks and pretended nothing happened, continuing to drink.

“This child…”

“His breakthroughs are too rapid, but I always feel like he’s lacking something…”

“If we let things continue this way, won’t it be lacking in practical combat experience?”

“Should we take advantage of this time to have him hone his skills in the Demon Beast Forest?”

Watching him leave, Deacon Gu Wanquan stroked his chin and muttered with furrowed brows.

“Indeed.”

“At least training here, with us old folks watching over him, nothing should go awry.”

“It’s certainly better than having all the strength in the future but lacking the experience to utilize it fully.”

The Great Elder nodded, agreeing that there was reason in these words.

Even Gu Kuang silently nodded in agreement after hearing this.

This was for the sake of his great-grandson’s well-being; protective he might be, but he was able to distinguish the important matters.

Gu Changge walked leisurely towards his own side hall, recalling the proposal made by the Old Blind Man earlier.

“I had planned to wait for my wife to finish her trial before I stayed on for a while longer to hunt some demon beasts and earn some attribute points.”

“Now it seems I’ll have to bring that plan forward.”

“With my current strength, if I face off against a Fifth-grade Ruins Realm demon beast, I should be able to subdue it.”

“As for a Sixth Grade Refining Void Realm demon beast… if I can break through its defense, that’s fine; if not, then I’ll have no choice but to flee for my life.”

He may not know the thoughts of the elders, but he also had plans to return to the Demon Beast Forest.

Life-and-death training had never been his consideration; he only wanted to steadily earn some attribute points.

As for his situation, he understood it far better than anyone else.

Battle experience?

To him, that wasn’t so important; no one of the same realm could pose a challenge for him, and crossing realms was not difficult either.

Why go through the trouble of making things hard for himself? It would be better to focus on improving his own strength. When he reached higher realms, he would have plenty of opportunities to use it!

In the face of absolute strength, experience would simply be crushed!

When he returned to the side hall, Liu Qingqing, who was meditating in the seclusion room, felt her husband’s presence and woke up.

“Husband, have you discussed the matter of Little Bai with the family?”

Liu Qingqing asked offhandedly with concern.

“Mm, I briefly mentioned it. There’s no need for any complicated ceremony.”

Gu Changge replied and looked towards the main house and asked, “Hasn’t she woken up yet?”

“Is Husband trying to show off his great abilities?” Liu Qingqing cast a sideways glance at him, implying it was all because of her husband’s doings.

Every time she ended up with a sore jaw…

But now with Wang Yue sharing the burden, it had become much more manageable.

Unfortunately, Yuan Youbai was still too young; it would take a while before she could share this arduous task with the two of them.

“Cough…”

“I can’t help it; I just have the strength.”

Gu Changge cleared his throat, stood with his hands behind his back, and laughed.

“Given the extent to which Husband attracts admirers, next time we come to Duanbei City, I’m afraid one side hall won’t be enough to accommodate everyone.”

Hearing his words, Liu Qingqing gazed at him with plaintive eyes and whispered.

“Why would my wife say such a thing?”

“I, for one, never engage in frivolous relationships.”

“The main point is…”

“When the admirers come, can’t exactly stop them, can I?”

Gu Changge chuckled and denied any wrongdoing.

Though his system favored having many Daoist couples, he had never actually taken the initiative to form relationships with any women.

But it was the heavens’ favor that he couldn’t refuse, after all!

Not to accept what was offered would be to waste the heavens’ kind intentions, wouldn’t it?

“It’s only been half a year, and Husband already has three Daoist couples.”

“If this keeps up until Husband becomes a Human Immortal, I fear even two hands won’t be enough to handle them all…”

“Will Husband be busy then?”

“I hope we won’t have to queue and draw lots just to see Husband.”

Liu Qingqing pouted, with her hands crossed over her chest, her eyes shining as she stared at her husband.

“That won’t do.”

“Your husband was born with a Furnace Vessel Holy Body. Strong abilities mean I’ll definitely manage.”

“Could it be that my wife doubts my capabilities?”

Gu Changge replied with self-assured laughter, unconcerned.

“Believe, believe, believe…”

Seeing that he was about to take action, Liu Qingqing quickly pleaded for mercy.

Fortunately, at this moment, a door to the main house’s bedroom cracked open, and a small head peeked out, looking eagerly at the two of them.

Seeing the couple look over, she walked up to Gu Changge with her head bowed.

Her small hands fidgeting, she seemed hesitant to speak.

“What’s wrong?” Gu Changge bent down slightly towards her and asked.

“Hus… Husband.”

“Little Bai is a bit hungry.”

Yuan Youbai’s voice was faint, not daring to meet his gaze, and she spoke with a hint of trepidation.

“What do you usually eat?”

Gu Changge asked with a smile, speaking in a gentle tone.

“Just some demon beast meat, spiritual medicine, anything is fine, Little Bai isn’t picky.”

“My mother said cultivators are okay too, but Little Bai has never tried them…”

Hearing his tender voice, Yuan Youbai relaxed a lot, looking up and blinking as she spoke.

“…”

It was then that Gu Changge remembered that the Dragon Clan was not like the Human Clan; they were creatures that consumed gold.

Their diet consisted of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, and when they were hungry, it wasn’t the same as when humans felt hunger; just filling their stomachs would suffice.

After all, she didn’t need to cultivate deliberately; she just needed to consume various Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures to refine them.
