Longevity Clan Starts with the Patriarch’s Marriage-Chapter 759
Chapter 759: Chapter 288: Lu Yuan’s ulterior motives, Shi Mengyan knocked out, Han Li’s decision regarding Liu Yuexin and the other five concubines_2 Chapter 759: Chapter 288: Lu Yuan’s ulterior motives, Shi Mengyan knocked out, Han Li’s decision regarding Liu Yuexin and the other five concubines_2 Lu Yuan had not yet spoken for fear that her master would disagree.
She thought of first letting her master Shi Mengyan marry into the family, and then by that time, her master would also agree to stand by her side in battle.
Han Li smiled.
He had noticed Shi Mengyan long ago and had deliberately let Shi Mengyan see him.
Han Li was crystal clear about what Lu Yuan was up to, and it was exactly what he wanted.
Clad in a light purple palace dress, Shi Mengyan’s beauty and stature were flawless, reminiscent of a heavenly nymph, with a temperament that set her apart from Lu Yuan, yet in a way that complemented each other.
Quietly being pulled along by Lu Yuan, Shi Mengyan was sizing up Han Li with a serene gaze, not showing any timidity due to Han Li’s status.
...
This was her first encounter with Han Li.

She was the master of Liangjie Mountain, one of the two Quasi Emperor Rank powers of Luming Divine Province, which bordered Qianyuan Divine Province, separated only by the Han Sea.
Han Li had taken wives and concubines many times, and each time Shi Mengyan had only sent a Saint Abyss realm powerhouse from her subordinates to participate while she herself had never come.
It was because she had reservations in her heart.
Her disciple Lu Yuan often came to persuade her to marry Han Li, but Shi Mengyan had not made up her mind, so she had never come.
Now that she had made up her mind, she came.
Shi Mengyan found that Han Li was somewhat different from what she had imagined, different from the rumors, and somewhat unlike what Lu Yuan had described.
“I’ll just call you Mengyan,” Han Li said, breaking the silence, “Since you’re here, from now on, we are all one family.”
Shi Mengyan’s eyes flashed as she nodded gently.
Yet in her heart, she couldn’t help but sigh – she had still chosen this shortcut.
Afterward, Han Li and Shi Mengyan conversed, with Lu Yuan not saying much, chiming in only occasionally.
Han Li was very forthright, detailing the treatment Shi Mengyan would receive after marrying him, and on the spot, he presented her with treasures, which practically stunned her.
Although Lu Yuan had told her beforehand that this might happen, Shi Mengyan had been somewhat incredulous, but now the reality had truly shaken her.
Han Li was far too generous!
Not to mention the promises made, just the Imperial Realm Treasures and Heavenly Immortal Realm Treasures before her eyes were enough to astonish Shi Mengyan.
Han Li chatted with Shi Mengyan for a while more before leaving, leaving Lu Yuan behind to keep her master company.
Seeing her somewhat disoriented master, Lu Yuan called out, “Master?
Master~”
Shi Mengyan glanced at her, smiled bitterly and said, “Yuan’er, if you had explained it to me clearly earlier, I would have agreed long ago.”
Shi Mengyan did not find this shameful.
Her previous hesitation was mainly because she was worried about her treatment after marrying Han Li since he really had too many cherished wives and concubines.
Even if she wanted to cultivate with Han Li, she would have to wait in a long line.
But after hearing Han Li’s earlier words, Shi Mengyan realized she had been overthinking it.
What she could think of, Han Li had already considered, and what she didn’t think of, Han Li had also prepared for her.
For her as a woman, finding someone to rely on wasn’t a bad thing; it was just that there had been no suitable one before.
“Master, there are some things I can’t speak of,” Lu Yuan sighed with a sense of helplessness.
Knowing was one thing, but being able to talk about it was another.
If she had spoken out, Lu Yuan was certain her husband would have come to know.
Disobedience would mean no good days for her in the future.
Shi Mengyan nodded in understanding of Lu Yuan’s predicament.
Naturally, such conditions could not be disclosed carelessly.
The master and disciple chatted for a long time, sharing their innermost thoughts, and finally, Lu Yuan invited her master Shi Mengyan to her chamber to spend the night together.
She intended to inform her master in bed of the prepared excuses.
Elsewhere, after leaving Chengdao Peak, Han Li went straight to Yuandao Peak.
Yuandao Peak was a subsidiary peak Han Li created later with his great mana, not open to the public and only accessible to him and his cherished wives and concubines, being one of the forbidden areas of Chengsheng Mountain.
Several wives, including Liu Yuexin, Li Mingmeng, Qiu Yueyao, Lin Yiwu, and Lin Yiyin, were already waiting there.
Upon Han Li’s arrival, Liu Yuexin, Lin Yiwu, Qiu Yueyao, and the other ladies hurriedly greeted him, joyously calling him “Husband”.
They had come here because Han Li notified them to gather, mentioning an important decision to inform them of, which was good news for them.
So the ladies came early with eager anticipation, sharing speculations among themselves as to why their husband had summoned them here, but they were clueless.
“Yuexin, Mingmeng, Yueyao, Yiwu, Yiyin.”
Han Li embraced Li Mingmeng with one arm and Qiu Yueyao with the other, then lay on the wide, soft chair, with Liu Yuexin, Lin Yiwu, and Lin Yiyin attending to him, kneading his legs, giving massages, squeezing his shoulders…
Li Mingmeng and Qiu Yueyao weren’t idle either; they each had their duties.
Han Li enjoyed himself for a while, his eyes sweeping over the expectant, pretty faces of his five beautiful concubines, but he did not speak.
“My lord, why did you summon us here?
Stop keeping us in suspense, tell us~”
Lin Yiyin couldn’t hold back any longer, using her once again enlarged “super-size granary” to press against Han Li, endlessly acting coquettishly.
“My lord~”
Li Mingmeng, Liu Yuexin, Qiu Yueyao, Lin Yiwu, and the others also began to inquire one after another.
Han Li kissed each of them before speaking at last, “You’ve been married to me for quite a while, haven’t you?”
The five women were slightly stunned, not understanding why their husband would suddenly mention this.
“My lord, it has been one hundred and thirty-two years.”
Liu Yuexin was the first to speak, a reminiscent look on her lovely face.
She was the first concubine Han Li had taken, and also the one who had been with Han Li the longest.
Thinking back to those days, Liu Yuexin couldn’t help but sigh; she could never have imagined she would have today, it all felt too fantastic, everything was given to her by the man before her eyes.
She had a Holy Abyss Realm cultivation level, she had a lifespan of a hundred thousand years, she also had many outstanding descendants, she held a very high status in the Endless Yuankun Domain.
Previously, her looks and figure could barely be considered top-notch in Lingjun City, but in the Daqian Empire, Qianyuan Divine Province, and even the Endless Yuankun Domain, she was nothing special, an ordinary person among the masses.
Now, her appearance, figure, temperament, and so on, all had undergone earth-shaking changes.
Even among the beauties vying for fame at Chengsheng Mountain or throughout the entire Yuankun Domain, her beauty would be remarkable.
“My lord, I’ve also been with you for eighty-seven years.” Li Mingmeng was the second to speak, her flawless face also full of memories.
“My lord….”
Qiu Yueyao, Lin Yiwu, Lin Yiyin also spoke one after another, each stating a number.
They had been with Han Li for seventy to eighty years as well.
Like Liu Yuexin, they too had experienced tremendous changes in all aspects.
Han Li nodded slightly, various memories coming to mind.
The early days were naturally not any heroic epoch, just simple and plain.
After descending Tianxuan Mountain, he had established the Han Family and began to branch out.
From Liu Yuexin to Lin Yiwu and Lin Yiyin, the sister flowers, he had taken over a dozen concubines in total.
Among these concubines, Liu Yuexin, Li Mingmeng, Qiu Yueyao, Lin Yiwu, and Lin Yiyin were his most favored; the rest, like Wu Yalin, were much less so.
As for the later-taken twin sisters Chu Yutong and Chu Yumeng, the triplets Zhou Zhiruo, Zhou Zhixuan, Zhou Zhirou, and other concubines, Han Li did not consider them this time.
“Yuexin, Mingmeng, Yueyao, Yiwu, Yiyin, I’ve called you here this time to announce a decision,” Han Li said gently, looking around at the five beautiful concubines.
“My lord, please tell us, we are ready.”
Liu Yuexin, Qiu Yueyao, and the other women couldn’t help but sit up straight, their hearts thumping with anticipation, very curious about their lord’s decision.
“In three days, I will prepare a promotion ceremony for you, promoting you five from concubines to official wives,” Han Li said in one breath.
Upon hearing this, the five women were stunned, and then their faces lit up with excitement and joy, among other positive emotions.
“My lord, are you serious?”
“My lord, I have been waiting for this day for so long.”
“My lord….”
Liu Yuexin, Li Mingmeng, Qiu Yueyao, Lin Yiwu, and Lin Yiyin couldn’t contain their excitement, chattering nonstop, expressing their joy.
As some of the earliest concubines of Han Li, they had naturally fantasized about being promoted to official wives, and there had been such precedents in Han Mansion before, like with Yuan Youwei.
But Yuan Youwei was much stronger than them in many aspects, and there was a special reason for her low status initially, so they had only dreamt about it.
They never expected the surprise to come so suddenly.
“Of course, it’s true.”
“My lord, let’s go discuss the Dao on the ninth floor of the Time-Sky Tower tonight.”
“My lord, let’s go now~”
