Translator: 549690339

Take some concubines? Heading towards a hundred already, how long has it been, won’t there be thousands in the future?

Why do you assassinate me if you’re not trying to make enemies? If even a hint of your energy was exposed, I wouldn’t even think of capturing you!

To hope for a world without enemies, isn’t that lacking ambition? This ambition is overwhelming; without unbeatable strength, one wouldn’t dare to say such words.

If you don’t want to provoke others, then reveal your cultivation level. If you show that you’re in the Gangyuan Realm, who would think you’re easy to bully, and who wouldn’t take a few hits when convenient?

… Lu Tianxiang mentally ranted, but she didn’t voice these thoughts. She didn’t want to argue with this person now; she needed to figure out a way to escape.

According to Han Li’s reasoning, he didn’t want to cause trouble, and capturing her would be big trouble, so Lu Tianxiang felt that there was still a chance to save herself.

“Han Li, Elder Han, you don’t want any trouble, so how about you let me go?”

“Although it was I who troubled you first, I have already fallen to this state, and you’ve had your revenge. If you release me, I assure you I will never trouble you again, nor will I speak a single word against you.”

Lu Tianxiang chose her words carefully, her tone much softer. She even felt like she was demeaning herself, which didn’t match her image of being sanctimonious.

She dared not mention the Rebirth Pill; even though both were well aware, mentioning it made the situation of a different nature.

Han Li’s face showed a gentle smile, as if he was about to let bygones be bygones, which made Lu Tianxiang’s heart flutter with hope.

“Impossible.”

The next instant, three icy words brutally struck Lu Tianxiang’s heart, leaving her shaken.

Han Li was so resolute. It seemed he had truly made up his mind. However, Lu Tianxiang still wanted to try one last time, so she said:

“You should know, the power behind me is very strong, even stronger than the Daqian Empire. A Great Grandmaster of the Myriad Phenomena Realm holds great weight. If you don’t let me go, are you not afraid of being suppressed by the Emperor Wu of the True Martial Realm?”

Han Li shrugged, unconcernedly saying, “It doesn’t matter. I’ll just leave.”

Lu Tianxiang was speechless, staring at Han Li. Although they hadn’t known each other for long, she had figured out his character. She stopped speaking, planning to look for an opportunity to seek death.

Han Li’s gaze wandered over Lu Tianxiang’s delicate face. His powerful Divine Spirit captured some of her thoughts and decided to further break her down, so he said with a cold laugh:

“Whether the power behind you is stronger than Da Qian, I do not know, but what I do know is that you have been abandoned. Otherwise, why would no one come to rescue you after such a long time on the run this evening?”

“Don’t say they couldn’t make it in time. If you were really important, someone of the True Martial Realm would have intervened to save you.”

“To be frank, you’re just an insignificant character. Otherwise, why would they send you to Da Qian to stir up trouble? That’s a suicidal mission.”

“You should know, had it not been for my rescue, you would have been long dead. So now, your life is mine. You also know that without my permission, you can’t even commit suicide.”

With every sentence Han Li spoke, Lu Tianxiang turned paler, and by the time he finished speaking, her expression had become extremely unsightly.

Lu Tianxiang pursed her lips tightly, not uttering a word, yet her trembling body revealed her intense agitation.

In a desperate situation, she had come to realize all this. After being saved, she had deliberately chosen to forget, but now Han Li tore open her wounds anew.

No matter what, she was a Grandmaster who had done many things wholeheartedly for the Sect and never thought of betrayal until death, yet this was how the Sect treated her.

She wanted to end her life, but her cultivation was sealed, and it was impossible to commit suicide under the watch of a Grandmaster.

When the tension in No-Life Mother had calmed slightly, Han Li asked, “What is the famed No-Life Mother’s esteemed name?”

Lu Tianxiang fell silent, somewhat unwillingly, but eventually spoke, “Lu Tianxiang.”

“Lu Tianxiang, a name as lovely as the fragrance of the heavens, such a beautiful name!”

“Lu is a beautiful jade, whose magnificence eclipses the towering clouds; wearing the moon-bright treasured Lu as adornment.”

“Tianxiang signifies fragrance, sending scents beneath the osmanthus hall, with celestial music entering the reed pipes.”

Han Li couldn’t stop praising her, feeling that her name was exceptionally well-chosen, and that the person who named Lu Tianxiang had superb taste.

Lu Tianxiang slightly raised her head, a hint of an unusual color flashing in her eyes, but she didn’t speak.

“Very well, let’s continue our earlier discussion.”

“Lu Tianxiang, may I ask you, are you willing to help me achieve eternal life?”

Han Li didn’t wait for her answer before he continued, “I cannot let you go. If you’re unwilling, then I’ll have no choice but to use force. You have no room to resist.”

“Whether you choose to enjoy this actively or passively is up to you.”

After thinking it over, Han Li decided to entice her further and said, “If you genuinely marry me, I will give you the status of a wife, and within a hundred years, I will help you break through to the True Martial Realm. If I fail, you will be free.”

Lu Tianxiang looked at Han Li in shock, unsure of where his confidence came from to make such a claim, as he himself was still in the Myriad Phenomena Realm and yet he boldly promised to help her reach the True Martial Realm within a century.

Lu Tianxiang was conflicted, tormented by the events of the night. After a long inner struggle, she hesitantly asked in a low voice,

“Are you truly just taking a wife simply, not intending to use me as a Cauldron for cultivation?”

Having fallen into Han Li’s hands, unable to escape, and with her Sect having forsaken her, she couldn’t even choose death. On top of that, Han Li painted her a grand picture, offering her a glimmer of hope to break through to the True Martial Realm—or at the very least regain her freedom after a century.

As long as she wasn’t used as a Cauldron and was treated with the dignity of a wife, not being played with at whim, Lu Tianxiang thought she could accept this.

She knew that if she didn’t accept, she would still not escape the Devil’s Palm, and her situation would be incredibly bleak. So, she chose to gamble.

If she won the bet, she would either ascend to the True Martial Realm or regain her freedom in the future. If she lost, her fate wouldn’t be worse than her present circumstances.

Han Li gazed into Lu Tianxiang’s beautiful eyes, locking eyes with her, and earnestly said, “I truly just want to take you as my wife.”

Having received the answer she wanted, Lu Tianxiang pursed her crimson lips and whispered almost inaudibly, “Give me some time.”

Han Li was overjoyed. Although Lu Tianxiang’s voice was very soft, his senses were so heightened that he heard her clearly.

Lu Tianxiang had finally agreed.

Between a mere childbearing tool and a Great Grandmaster of the Myriad Phenomena Realm who could both bear children and be an aide, Han Li chose the latter.

That’s why he took so much effort to persuade Lu Tianxiang.

The Han Family’s current foundation was insufficient, with only him as their combat power in the Myriad Phenomena Realm. With Lu Tianxiang’s inclusion, the Han Family’s strength would dramatically increase, greatly enhancing their capacity to handle risks.

Han Li appraised Lu Tianxiang with a heated gaze and said slowly, “We should rest now.”

As he spoke, he moved closer to Lu Tianxiang, about to make a move, when Lu Tianxiang hurriedly said, “Not now; at least wait until after our marriage ceremony.”

She had just made up her mind and didn’t want to lose her chastity so soon, especially since she had taken so many blows this evening. The cultivator she used to regard with indifference had now gained control over her, and she had no choice but to submit.

Han Li leaned close to her delicate body, his arms wrapped around her slender waist, his large hand resting on her flat belly, he kissed her face, then whispered in her ear,

“Don’t worry, I’ll just hold you to sleep. I won’t do anything inappropriate.”

Feeling the warm breath in her ear, the masculine scent assailing her senses, and the warm body behind her, Lu Tianxiang’s heart was in turmoil.

Han Li had withdrawn his imposing aura, and Lu Tianxiang could move, but she dared not make any sudden movements, fearing she might trigger Han Li’s animalistic instincts.

Lu Tianxiang was well aware of her allure and the strong attraction she held for the opposite sex; she often admired her perfect body herself.
