Chapter 191 -125: Taking the Beauty Home! First Clues Emerge! _2
“This is where your concubine grew up, my husband, do you find it beautiful?”
Zhuang Guxue, filled with a childlike heart, slipped her palm from Lu Li’s and started running and leaping around the flower garden, her movements lively.
Lu Li laughed heartily, “This place is tranquil and unique, quite suited to Xue Er’s character. The scenery is beautiful, and the person even more so.”
Upon hearing Lu Li’s praise, Zhuang Guxue’s face reddened, somewhat embarrassed.
Zhuang Zizhan, who was nearby, was also very pleased to see his sister so favored.
The group soon arrived in front of a courtyard.
The courtyard was not large, and the environment was very quiet. A Qing Song tree stood strong by a small pond, its leaves lush and green.
“Our elder can rest here for the next few days.”
Zhuang Zizhan smiled slightly.
“Um…”
Lu Li nodded and, together with Zhuang Guxue, walked toward the courtyard ahead.
Soon, the two crossed the lawn and arrived in front of the main house.
Zhuang Guxue pushed open the door and led Lu Li inside.
The space inside was not large, but it was very neat, clearly cleaned regularly.
The air even carried a hint of a woman’s fragrance.
“This is my personal wing within the family clan, always cleaned by someone. Please make do for a few days, my husband.”
Zhuang Guxue’s face blushed slightly.
Lu Li smiled, “This place is very nice, very much to my liking.”
After he spoke, he led Zhuang Guxue to the bed, and the two began to discuss the path of Dual Cultivation.
……
At night, after the rain.
“My husband, do you have any plans?”
Zhuang Guxue, with perspiration on her face, turned and looked at Lu Li beside her.
“The Yong Family requiring so much second-tier spirit wood seems quite suspicious.”
Lu Li’s eyes were deep.
“In a few days, you should take your family back to Mystic Moon Island and have Third Aunt arrange two islands rich in Spiritual Energy for you. I will go investigate this Yong Family to see what kind of demons are hiding there.”
“Do you mean those remnants of Zoroastrianism?”
Zhuang Guxue was very astute and caught on immediately.
She flicked her hair and buried her flushed cheeks in Lu Li’s chest.
“Let’s do as my husband says. I, representing my parents and clan, thank you, my husband.”
She had just experienced a breakthrough not long ago and couldn’t be of much help; staying would only cause trouble.
Lu Li smiled and nodded, his eyes flickering.
These second-tier spirit wood pieces were exactly the material needed for crafting puppets, and such a large demand likely hinted at ulterior motives.
He happened to have a Communication Talisman from the Flowers Sect. If the other party really was up to something, it would mean another contribution point for him.
With his current strength, even if a real person from the Purple Mansion took action, he could escape swiftly using the Divine Power Technique.
…
A few hundred meters away, in another wing.
“Do you think Xue Er’s husband can compete against the Yong Family’s ancestors?”
“Ah… hard to say, after all, the other party is an old Foundation Establishment late-stage, we can only take one step at a time.”
An elderly man and a beautiful woman were whispering in the room.
The two were Zhuang Guxue’s parents.
The beautiful woman, at the late Qi Refinement Realm, resembled Zhuang Guxue and looked worried.
“Can we possibly move the entire clan? Now that Xue Er has succeeded in Foundation Establishment and has the support of a Foundation Establishment Expert…”
“This… I will go and discuss with Yao Tian, and then ask Xue Er.”
Zhuang Lintian’s eyes flashed, quite moved.
Soon, the room quieted down again.
Days passed in the blink of an eye.
Lu Li stayed on the small island, exploring the island with Zhuang Guxue.
Their footprints were left everywhere, and most of the cultivators in the family had come to know Lu Li.
One morning, as the sun rose.
Lu Li and Zhuang Guxue were sitting in the hall, drinking Spiritual Tea.
Suddenly, a tunneling light flew rapidly from the distant sea, its momentum astounding, and in an instant, it reached the center of the island.
Out stepped a middle-aged man in black robes.
His expression was icy cold, filled with murderous intentions.
The Zhuang Family members on the island felt a constriction in their chests, finding it difficult to breathe.
Zhuang Lintian quickly activated the Array and stepped out.
“Elder, could you grant us a few more days?”
His tone was humble, then he turned his head to look at the island, his face full of hope.
“Hmph… Today is the last day. If you don’t produce the spirit wood, I will slaughter your Zhuang Family.”
Yong Jing’s face was thick with killing intent.
The overwhelming aura oppressed Zhuang Lintian, who felt as if plunged into an icy cave.
Just then, two beams of light swiftly approached from behind.
They arrived beside Zhuang Lintian in an instant; it was Lu Li and Zhuang Guxue.
Zhuang Lintian’s face relaxed as if he had seen a savior.

“You want to slaughter my Zhuang Family?”
Zhuang Guxue’s pretty face was filled with deadly intent.
“Oh? So there is a clansman who broke through to Foundation Establishment, no wonder you dare to be so bold.”
Yong Jing sneered coldly, his Divine Sense swept over and noticed Lu Li standing next to Zhuang Guxue but sensed no aura from him and thus ignored him outright.
“The gap between Foundation Establishment Cultivators is huge. This girl of yours just broke through, and yet she will fall here today; truly a pity. If she would become my concubine, I might spare her life!”
Zhuang Lintian’s expression tightened, and he started to worry.
He didn’t know if Lu Li and the others could withstand this man.
The clansmen behind him also showed faces of unwillingness.
Zhuang Guxue’s gaze was icy as she looked at the enemy as if staring at a dead person.
Although she didn’t know how powerful her husband’s Divine Skills were, she knew his strength was astonishingly high even during the Qi Refinement Realm, and now having overcome several obstacles, he was surely not inferior to this man.
This made her full of confidence.
Lu Li gave a cold laugh, uninterested in further talk.
He circulated his Divine Power, and a tremendous aura instantly oppressed the entire area, making all the nearby cultivators feel as though a massive mountain weighed upon their chests, rendering them breathless.
With a flash of his Divine Skills, he instantly appeared in front of his opponent.
“Divine Energy of the Purple Mansion? Venerable, please…”
Yong Jing was utterly shocked, but before he could beg for mercy.
“Bang…”
Sounds of sonic booms filled the air as a huge iron fist, carrying ferocious deadly energy, smashed mercilessly toward his head.
Seeing this, Yong Jing’s face showed despair, and he hurriedly operated his defensive giant cauldron, pouring his Mana into it desperately.
Layers of earthy yellow brilliance enveloped his body, but they brought no sense of safety.
He deeply regretted, not expecting to encounter such a powerful entity in this insignificant place.
“Clang…”
The yellow giant cauldron was instantly smashed open, falling onto the ground, its spiritual light dimmed.
The iron fist continued with undiminished momentum, ruthlessly smashing onto the opponent’s head.
“Bang…”
The head burst instantly, splashing bright red juices all around, turning the surroundings into a mess.
Quickly, the corpse slowly fell to the ground.
Killed in one hit! Without any unnecessary flamboyance.
With the strength of a Heavenly Ranking List powerhouse like Lu Li, dealing with an ordinary Foundation Establishment Cultivator was like a true Purple Mansion Venerable slaying a Foundation Establishment; it was absolutely asymmetric.
Lu Li retracted his fist and stepped back beside Zhuang Guxue, his expression indifferently calm.
From the moment the opponent spoke arrogantly to Lu Li’s counterattack, all of this occurred within the blink of an eye.
It was only now that Zhuang Lintian and the others came back to their senses.
They all wore stunned expressions.
“Dead?”
“Late Stage Foundation Establishment?”
They looked at each other, their minds reeling as if monstrous waves surged within.
Just moments ago, they were worried for Zhuang Guxue, and in the blink of an eye, the enemy was annihilated; such a scene had not been witnessed by anyone in decades.
Zhuang Lintian and the others looked at Lu Li with awe.
Any slight sense of superiority brought by Zhuang Guxue’s Foundation Establishment vanished without a trace.
“Xue Er, take the clansmen and set off, I will be back shortly.”
Lu Li said with a smile, then leaped into the air, turning into a blur of blue light that shot rapidly toward the distant sea, disappearing from everyone’s sight in an instant.
Zhuang Lintian looked at Lu Li’s departing figure, his face remaining in shock for a long time.
“Xue Er, make sure to serve your husband well; you must not be haughty or willful.”
He repeatedly instructed Zhuang Guxue.
“This man has astounding Divine Skills, and mastering the Purple Mansion is within easy reach. There is even a great chance to reach the Golden Core Venerable.”
“If Xue Er you can continue to be favored, our family is sure to benefit endlessly, and in the future becoming a Purple Mansion Family might also be within reach…”
Zhuang Lintian and the others gazed forward, filled with longing.
“I understand, husband has always been very good to Xue Er,”
Zhuang Guxue nodded, her face showing pride.
At that moment, a beautiful woman approached; it was Zhuang Guxue’s mother, Deng Ruolian.
“Xue Er, it’s been many years, why haven’t you had a son or daughter? You should know…”
She began to instruct seriously.
Seeing her relatives looking over, Zhuang Guxue’s face turned red, and she hurriedly flew toward the back courtyard.
“Why would mother ask such a question in public? It’s already difficult for cultivators to have children…”
Arriving in the side room, she secretly touched her belly, her heart filled with expectation.
