Longevity Clan Starts with the Patriarch’s Marriage-Chapter 763

Chapter 763: 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 763: 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 didn’t speak out yet because she feared her master would not agree.

She thought to first let her master Shi Mengyan marry into the family and then discuss the matter further; by that time, her master would also agree to stand by her side in battle.

Han Li smiled.

He had indeed noticed Shi Mengyan earlier and had deliberately allowed her to see that.

What Lu Yuan was planning, Han Li understood all too well, and this was exactly what he wanted.

Shi Mengyan, dressed in a light purple palace gown, was flawless in both beauty and posture, like a celestial maiden, her aura distinctly different from Lu Yuan’s, yet complementary in some ways.

Despite being pulled by the gentle Lu Yuan, Shi Mengyan took the time to size up Han Li, her gaze calm, showing no timidity despite Han Li’s status.

...

This was the first time she had met Han Li in person.

She was the master of Liangjie Mountain, one of the two Quasi Emperor Rank powers in Luming Divine Province, which was adjacent to Qianyuan Divine Province with only the Han Sea between them.

Han Li had taken wives and concubines many times before, and each time Shi Mengyan sent just one of her Saint Abyss Realm warriors to participate; she herself had never come.

She had hesitations in her heart, and since her disciple Lu Yuan often came to persuade her to marry Han Li, Shi Mengyan, not yet decided, had thus kept her distance.

Now that she had made up her mind, she came.

Shi Mengyan discovered that Han Li was somewhat different from what she had imagined.

He diverged from the rumors, and even Lu Yuan’s descriptions didn’t quite match up.

“I’ll just call you Mengyan then.

Now that you’re here, we’re family from now on,”

Han Li spoke first, breaking the heavy silence.

Shi Mengyan’s gaze flickered slightly as she nodded lightly.

But inside, she couldn’t help but sigh.

She had still taken this shortcut.

Afterward, Han Li and Shi Mengyan conversed while Lu Yuan remained mostly silent, occasionally adding a word or two.

Han Li was very upfront about the benefits that would come with Shi Mengyan marrying him and even presented her with treasures on the spot, leaving her astonished.

Although Lu Yuan had told her beforehand that this might happen, Shi Mengyan had been somewhat skeptical.

Now that it was actually happening, she was completely taken aback.

Han Li was incredibly generous!

Not to mention the promises he had made, just the Imperial Realm Treasures and Heavenly Immortal Realm Treasures he presented right then were enough to astonish Shi Mengyan.

Han Li chatted with Shi Mengyan for a while longer before leaving, leaving Lu Yuan behind to keep her master company.

Watching her master, who seemed somewhat distraught, Lu Yuan called out, “Master?

Master~”

Shi Mengyan glanced at her and chuckled bitterly, “Yuan’er, if you had explained things to me earlier, I would have agreed much sooner.”

Shi Mengyan did not feel ashamed.

Her hesitation was mainly due to concerns about her treatment after marrying Han Li, as Han Li truly had too many wives and concubines.

Even if she wanted to cultivate with Han Li, she would have to wait in a long line.

But after hearing what Han Li said earlier, Shi Mengyan realized she had been overthinking.

Everything she could think of, Han Li had already considered, and for what she had not anticipated, Han Li had also prepared.

As a woman, finding a reliable partner wasn’t a bad thing; she simply hadn’t found the right match before.

“Master, there are some things I couldn’t say.” Lu Yuan sighed helplessly.

Knowing something is one thing, but being able to speak of it is another.

If she were to divulge it, Lu Yuan was certain her husband would find out.

Without adherence to rules, she wouldn’t have a good life in the future.

Shi Mengyan nodded, understanding Lu Yuan’s predicament.

Updated from freewёbnoνel.com.

Such terms certainly couldn’t be disclosed carelessly.

The master and disciple talked for a long time, sharing their inner thoughts.

In the end, Lu Yuan invited her master Shi Mengyan to her own sleeping chamber to spend the night together.

She wanted to share the prepared justifications with her master in bed.

Meanwhile, after leaving Chengdao Peak, Han Li went straight to Yuandao Peak.

Yuandao Peak was a subsidiary peak later created by Han Li using great mana.

It was not open to outsiders; only he and his cherished wives and concubines could enter, making it one of the forbidden areas of Chengsheng Mountain.

Liu Yuexin, Li Mingmeng, Qiu Yueyao, Lin Yiwu, Lin Yiyin, and several other wives and concubines were already waiting there.

Upon Han Li’s arrival, Liu Yuexin, Lin Yiwu, Qiu Yueyao, and the other ladies hurriedly greeted him, joyfully calling out “Husband.”

The reason for their presence was that Han Li had summoned them, mentioning an important decision that would be good news for them.

So, the ladies arrived early, full of eager anticipation, having exchanged thoughts on why their husband had called them here, yet they had no clue what it could be.

“Yuexin, Mingmeng, Yueyao, Yiwu, Yiyin.”

Han Li was embracing Li Mingmeng with one arm and Qiu Yueyao with the other as he lay on a wide and soft chair.

Liu Yuexin, Lin Yiwu, and Lin Yiyin attended to him by his side, massaging his legs, shoulders, and neck…

Li Mingmeng and Qiu Yueyao were also busy, each attending to their tasks.

Han Li indulged in the moment, his gaze sweeping over the expectant faces of his five beautiful concubines, yet he remained silent.

“Husband~ what did you call us here for?

Don’t keep us in suspense, tell us~”

Lin Yiyin could no longer hold back and, using her newly grown oversized “granaries,” she pressed against Han Li, coquettishly nudging him.

“Husband~”

Li Mingmeng, Liu Yuexin, Qiu Yueyao, Lin Yiwu, and the others also began to inquire in succession.

After kissing each of them, Han Li finally said, “You’ve been married to me for quite a long time, haven’t you?”

All five women were slightly stunned, not understanding why their husband would suddenly bring this up.

“Husband, it’s been one hundred and thirty-two years.”

Liu Yuexin spoke up first, a look of reminiscence appearing on her pretty face.

She was the first concubine Han Li had married and the one who had been with him for the longest time.

Thinking back to the past, Liu Yuexin couldn’t help but feel melancholic.

She had never imagined she would be where she is today—it was all too surreal—but everything she had was thanks to the man before her.

She had the cultivation of the Saint Abyss Realm, a lifespan of a hundred thousand years, many outstanding descendants, and a high status in the Endless Yuankun Domain.

In the past, her beauty and figure might barely have been considered top-grade in Lingjun City, but in the Daqian Empire, the Qianyuan Divine Province, and even the Endless Yuankun Domain, she would have been lost in the crowd, just an ordinary person among the masses.

Now, her beauty, figure, and temperament had undergone a heaven-defying transformation.

Even placed amidst the throngs of beauties on Chengsheng Mountain or across the entire Yuankun Domain, she could be considered unparalleled in splendor.

“Husband, I’ve been with you for eighty-seven years too,” Li Mingmeng was the second to speak, her flawless face also covered in memories.

“Husband….”

Qiu Yueyao, Lin Yiwu, and Lin Yiyin also spoke in turn, mentioning the number of years they had been with Han Li—they too had been with him for seven to eight decades.

Just like Liu Yuexin, they had all experienced earth-shattering changes in various aspects.

Han Li nodded slightly as a myriad of memories surfaced.

His early days were certainly not filled with glory and grandeur; they were quite ordinary.

After descending from Tianxuan Mountain, he established the Han Family and began to expand his lineage.

Starting with Liu Yuexin and then to siblings Lin Yiwu and Lin Yiyin, he had taken in more than a dozen concubines.

Among all these concubines, Liu Yuexin, Li Mingmeng, Qiu Yueyao, Lin Yiwu, and Lin Yiyin were his favorites.

Wu Yalin and the rest were far less favored.

As for Chu Yutong and Chu Yumeng, the twin sisters, Zhou Zhiruo, Zhou Zhixuan, Zhou Zhirou, the triplets, and other concubines—Han Li hadn’t considered them this time.

“Yuexin, Mingmeng, Yueyao, Yiwu, Yiyin, the reason I called you here is to announce a decision,” Han Li said, looking around at the five cherished concubines with a gentle voice.

“Husband, go ahead, we are ready.”

Liu Yuexin, Qiu Yueyao, and the other women immediately sat up straight, their hearts pounding with excitement and curiosity about what their husband’s decision could be.

“In three days, I will prepare a promotion ceremony for you five, elevating you from concubines to wives,” Han Li announced in one breath.

Upon hearing this, the five women were stunned, then elation, excitement, and various other positive emotions surfaced on their faces.

“Husband, are you serious?”

“Husband, I’ve waited so long for this day.”

“Husband,….”

Liu Yuexin, Li Mingmeng, Qiu Yueyao, Lin Yiwu, and Lin Yiyin were beside themselves with excitement, chattering nonstop and sharing their joy.

As some of Han Li’s earliest concubines, they naturally fantasized about being promoted to wives.

The Han Mansion had set precedents for this before, such as with Yuan Youwei.

But Yuan Youwei was much stronger in many aspects and had special reasons for her initially low status and place, so they only dreamed the thought.

The surprise had come so unexpectedly.

“Of course it’s true.”

“Husband, let’s go to the ninth floor of the Sky Tower tonight to discuss Tao.”

“Husband, let’s go now~”
