Concubines Lead to Strength: The Path to Immortality Begins with Taking a Spouse-Chapter 55 - But then again...

Chapter 55: Chapter 55 But then again…

This night was the single night that Gu Changge had slept since he began cultivation.

A month ago, since he could cultivate, he had used cultivation to restore his spirit and vigor, never having slept immersed in cultivation.

But today was different…

He had genuinely slept.

In the morning, as he woke, before he even opened his eyes, he unconsciously pinched his hand…

“Umm…”

Hearing that pleasant moan, he finally woke up completely.

Their eyes met, and Liu Qingqing blushed, avoiding his gaze, and took his mischievous hand off her body.

“Wife, didn’t you sleep all night?”

Gu Changge chuckled and casually asked.

“No… I’m not quite used to sleeping with someone else.”

“And why is Husband’s hand so restless even in sleep?”

Liu Qingqing said, rolling her eyes at him.

“Cough…”

“Habit… err, that is, instinct, it’s all instinct.”

Gu Changge sat up, saying so while guiltily touching his nose.

Fortunately, before Liu Qingqing could figure out what he meant, Gu Sanfeng’s voice rang out from outside the door: “You little rascal, the sun has already reached your butt, open the door, open the door!”

“Right away, right away…” Gu Changge quickly replied.

Seeing him getting out of bed, Liu Qingqing very considerately helped him put on his clothes and simply tied up his long hair.

“Husband!”

Even at a time like this, he was being mischievous, and Liu Qingqing couldn’t help but chide him with a blushing face.

“Cough cough, I’ll pay attention next time, next time.”

Gu Changge could only appear more serious upon seeing this, as he had worn out his wife the previous night.

Once both of them were dressed, they went out to the courtyard together and opened the door.

Gu Sanfeng outside didn’t wait for politeness; he didn’t wait for the door to fully open before pushing his way in.

While muttering: “Getting out of bed takes forever.”

“Good morning, Uncle Three…” Liu Qingqing greeted him politely.

“Uh…”

“I forgot, this kid is married now.”

“Sorry, sorry, hahaha…”

Gu Sanfeng then came to his senses, scratching his head and laughing loudly as he waved his hand in apology.

“Here, this is a gift from your Uncle Three for you two, it’s not much, so Miss Liu, don’t look down on it.”

As they sat in the pavilion, he took out a Storage Pouch from around his waist, signaling Liu Qingqing to receive it.

Liu Qingqing accepted it graciously with both hands: “Thank you, Uncle Three.”

“How come Uncle Three has suddenly become so generous?” Gu Changge looked at him suspiciously, unable to resist taking the Storage Pouch from his wife to see what was inside.

It was just some ordinary Spirit Stones and elixirs.

Counting the amount…

Aren’t these what he had borrowed over the years from himself?

Now there’s no need to save up for Soul-Shaping Pills, these should have been his anyway!

“There’s no need to thank me, this was originally my monthly salary…”

Gu Changge twitched the corner of his mouth, unable to resist commenting.

“You rascal, are you not giving Uncle Three any face?” Gu Sanfeng raised an eyebrow slightly.

“But you, young man, have been borrowing this junior’s Spirit Stones and elixirs for so many years, without even factoring in interest…” Gu Changge said unreservedly, with a scoff.

Compared to other Gu Family elders, he had the best relationship with Uncle Three, and they always spoke quite freely.

“I see…”

“Ah, you know the rules. Every time our family holds a grand banquet, all the congratulatory gifts are to be collected for the Treasure Vault, to offset the expenses of the banquet.”

“Elder Uncle, I went to a lot of trouble to persuade the steward of the Treasure Vault to let me pick out a Dark Grade Top Grade Flying Sword and a bottle of Dark Grade Top-Grade Elixir for you from those gifts.”

“Now it seems… It was an unnecessary move on the old man’s part.”

Gu Sanfeng, with his hands circled around his chest, stared off towards the horizon at a 45-degree angle, his expression one of bitter disappointment.

However, before he could finish, Gu Changge, on the other side, changed the direction of the conversation, “But then again!”

“The bond between Changge and Elder Uncle can hardly be measured by mere interest, can it?”

“Even if Elder Uncle does not return these Spirit Stones and Elixirs, what of it?”

“Consider them Changge’s filial token to you!”

The speed at which the two changed faces left Liu Qingqing looking utterly bewildered.

“Alright, the truth is, Elder Uncle was lying to you…” Gu Sanfeng, seeing him change faces, was about to change his tune as he stroked his beard.

Gu Changge changed his expression even faster, immediately striking a zero frame start, “But then again, although we are uncle and nephew, the interest…”

Seeing he couldn’t out-talk this brat, Gu Sanfeng simply took out the Jade Bottle with the Elixir and the Dark Grade Top Grade Flying Sword from the Storage Pouch and placed them on the table.

“Interest definitely cannot be taken; even if Elder Uncle were to give it, we could not accept it.”

Sure enough, Gu Changge shifted his stance yet again…

“Enough, enough, I can’t win against you.”

“These two items were actually procured in consideration of the Old Master’s face.”

“During this banquet for the major powers of Qingzhou, the Spiritual Wine used was very valuable, and it might not be enough for the Gu Family to break even, just with the collected gifts.”

“But it’s also paving the way for you to become the Young Master Gu, letting the powers of Qingzhou have a clear understanding.”

Gu Sanfeng waved his hand, not wanting to argue any further.

“Understood.” Gu Changge finally couldn’t help but chuckle as he picked up the Dark Grade Top Grade Flying Sword to inspect it closely; he had indeed been lacking a proper weapon, as one can’t always use chopsticks to kill people!

Initially, he had planned to use the Spirit Stones given by the Old Master to exchange for a Yellow Grade Top Grade Flying Sword at home, as a temporary stopgap, but now he had saved a great deal of money, and the grade of the Flying Sword was sufficient for him to use for a long time.

As for that bottle of Dark Grade Top-Grade Elixir, he didn’t even bother to take a look.

He pushed it directly to Liu Qingqing side, “Here you go, one each, one Elixir for you, one Flying Sword for me.”

“This…” Liu Qingqing wanted to refuse, but Gu Changge interrupted, “Consider it a congratulatory gift from Elder Uncle, one for each of us.”

Hearing this, she gladly accepted.

Although the two of them did not consummate their marriage last night, it was quite close…

Now, her mindset had changed, and knowing her husband’s personality, there was no need to be as politely reserved as before. It was more important for her to focus on improving herself and become a Saintess soon to make up for her own shortcomings!

Otherwise… it was always so tiring!

Even now, her jaw still felt a bit sore…

Gu Sanfeng didn’t care how his great nephew chose to divide these two items.

Instead, he forcefully brought up the serious matters, “The matter of succeeding as the Young Master was settled last night by the Family Head and the Elders.”

“The date is set for ten days from now.”

“However…”

“You should also know the rules for inheriting the title of Young Master; even if selected by the Family Head or Elders, you need to face no objections from your generation.”

“Otherwise, a Young Master who cannot gain the public’s respect is nothing but a joke.”

Gu Changge nodded slightly at Elder Uncle’s words, acknowledging his understanding of these matters.

“What realm are you in now?”

Gu Sanfeng asked, stroking his beard. With the boy having been given a Space Ring by the Family Head, unless he touched and probed or saw him make a move, it was impossible to sense his cultivation level.

With his wife also present, it was impractical to reach out and check his condition directly.

“Late stage of the Sky-controlling Realm.”

“Ten days from now… Breaking through to the Qi Sea Realm may not be possible, but reaching Perfection in the Sky-controlling Realm should be achievable.”

Gu Changge said casually, not hiding anything.

His words almost made Gu Sanfeng spray out the tea he was drinking!
