Chapter 118: Chapter 115 Unparalleled Beauty_1

Translator: 549690339

Last night, Lu Tianxiang felt extremely conflicted. With Han Li hugging her to sleep, she couldn’t resist at all.

Lu Tianxiang didn’t dare move, fearing it would provoke Han Li to take advantage of her. She didn’t sleep a wink, closing her eyes and feigning sleep. If Han Li made a move, she was prepared to struggle.

However, Lu Tianxiang hadn’t anticipated that after her cultivation was sealed, she was nearly indistinguishable from an ordinary person. After enduring numerous hardships and finally relaxing, the long night eroded her will, and she fell asleep in the latter half of the night.

In her sleep, she felt large hands moving over her body and thought she was dreaming, or perhaps she still hadn’t transitioned from the identity of the Mother of No Birth.

When she woke up in the morning, she discovered the shameful scene, screaming out loud as her whole body trembled.

She was actually sleeping in a man’s arms, and that man’s hands were restless, having made some indecent moves, which made her furious.

When had the high and mighty Mother of No Birth ever been treated like this by a man?

Lu Tianxiang quickly realized what had happened and why she was in Han Li’s arms, yet it didn’t stop her from coldly questioning him.

Feeling the warm, fragrant softness in his embrace, Han Li held her tightly with his large hands and smilingly said, “I didn’t do anything improper, your element of purity is still intact.”

Lu Tianxiang stretched out her hand to slap Han Li’s large hands, her pretty face flushed red, and finally she managed to squeeze out two words, “Shameless!”

So, he really had left her with this last line of defense?

Oh, her first kiss was still intact.

Suddenly, Lu Tianxiang felt a sense of relief. If she had lost her first kiss too, it would have been too terrible.

While Lu Tianxiang was contemplating, Han Li flipped her over to her shock, buried his head, and gently captured her red lips.

“Mmm~Mmm~”

Lu Tianxiang wanted to say something, but her cherry lips were completely sealed, making it impossible for her to speak.

After a long while, Han Li released her. He licked his lips, seemingly not fully satisfied, and leaned in again.

After repeating the act several times, Han Li finally let go of Lu Tianxiang.

By this time, Lu Tianxiang was on the verge of tears. This demon, Han Li, had even taken her first kiss. Now she was left with only her last line of defence.

Lu Tianxiang resolved to defend it strictly, deciding that even if she had agreed to Han Li, she would only surrender once Han Li formally married her.

But what Lu Tianxiang never expected was that her last defence wouldn’t stand long at all; it was breached that very night.

Han Li stood up, tidying up his clothes, and frowned slightly at Lu Tianxiang’s tattered garments.

He couldn’t possibly let Lu Tianxiang continue wearing that; although it was enticing, if inadvertently seen by another of the opposite sex, Han Li would still be very displeased.

Soon, Lin Yiwu arrived, bringing a set of clothes with her.

Han Li had taken Lu Tianxiang’s measurements the night before. Her appearance and figure were even better than Lin Yiwu’s, but some parts were about the same size and they were nearly the same height, so she could fit into Lin Yiwu’s dress.

“Husband~”

Lin Yiwu entered the carriage, sweetly calling out and looking at Han Li with eyes full of affection.

Han Li wrapped his arm around Lin Yiwu’s slender waist, kissed her forehead, whispered a few words in her ear, and then left the carriage.

After leaving the carriage, Han Li gathered all the principal members of the Han Family and announced the journey’s start today, planning to cross the checkpoint into Qingzhou.

In due course, they would traverse vast uninhabited regions, so he instructed them to be cautious and on guard against bandits.

On the road of migration, Han Li would personally take care of any trouble from cultivators with cultivation above the Gang Yuan Realm. The Han Family still lacked individuals capable of carrying major responsibilities and needed time to grow.

The migration was a trial that would filter out the truly capable descendants, and those with both ability and qualifications would receive Han Li’s focused training.

Before long, the migrating caravan set out, stretching ten miles long, heading for the true fixed checkpoint.

Han Li did not return to his own carriage, as he decided to give Lu Tianxiang more time. Lin Yiwu would handle the situation, so Han Li went to find Lin Yiwu, Qiu Yueyao, and other beautiful concubines. He had recently devised a new game that six people could play together.

In the carriage, after Han Li had left, Lu Tianxiang sat up, gathered her shattered clothes, and put on an expression that said ‘keep out’.

She hadn’t yet figured out how she was going to interact with Han Li’s other concubines, mainly because this had all happened too abruptly. Just last night, she was eagerly attempting to capture Han Li, and today she had become Han Li’s betrothed.

Lin Yiwu watched Lu Tianxiang’s expression and couldn’t help but laugh, causing a slight change in Lu Tianxiang’s complexion.

“Sister Tianxiang, why keep people at arm’s length?”

“We’re going to be good sisters in the future. We should get along well. Husband does not like to see us in conflict.”

“Plus, I can relate to Sister’s current feelings as we have some shared experiences.”

With a warm smile on her face, Lin Yiwu spoke sincerely.

Han Li had informed her of some details about Lu Tianxiang, instructing her to get along well with Lu Tianxiang and ideally become close to her.

Han Li didn’t mention that Lu Tianxiang was from the Myriad Phenomena Realm, only stating that Lu Tianxiang’s cultivation had been sealed, and she had agreed to marry him.

He wasn’t worried at all about Lu Tianxiang running away or doing anything to Lin Yiwu. Lu Tianxiang’s cultivation was sealed by him, and Lin Yiwu, being at the peak of the Pihai Realm, was more than a match for her.

Looking at the breathtaking beauty before her, Lin Yiwu inwardly admired her husband’s ability; just overnight, he had managed to bring back a new concubine.

And this Lu Tianxiang, with regards to appearance, figure, temperament, cultivation, and so on, was superior to herself and Han Li’s other concubines. Lin Yiwu was curious about their shared experiences but refrained from asking.

“`

Lu Tianxiang calmed herself, pursed her red lips, and pondered for a moment before asking, “How should I address this younger sister?”

“My surname is Lin, given name Yiwu. Sister can call me Lin younger sister, or Yiwu; either is fine,” Lin Yiwu said softly as she sat by the carriage window.

“Then I will call you Lin younger sister,” Lu Tianxiang decided, not wishing to become too familiar with this woman at the moment.

After exchanging a few words with her, Lin Yiwu handed over the clothing, saying with a smile, “Sister Tianxiang, here are your clothes. You should change now; we can talk more later.”

Lu Tianxiang nodded, having long since grown tired of wearing these tattered garments. Her spatial bracelet contained many beautiful dresses, but with her cultivation sealed and unable to use her Spiritual Sense, she couldn’t retrieve them.

Lin Yiwu stepped outside to wait for Lu Tianxiang to change her clothes.

Rustling sounds came from within the carriage. Lu Tianxiang quickly changed into the offered dress—a purple palace skirt—which she found a bit too small, barely able to contain her stateliness.

Having adjusted her clothes, Lu Tianxiang waited a while before calling out, “Lin younger sister, you may come in now.”

Lin Yiwu entered and, upon seeing Lu Tianxiang in the purple palace skirt, her eyes lit up.

The previously rag-clad Lu Tianxiang had been a tempting peerless beauty, eliciting pity at the sight. But now, she resembled a holy and dignified celestial maiden, aloof and pure.

Lin Yiwu herself was a rare beauty, but in that moment, she felt somewhat ashamed of her own appearance, even she was captivated by Lu Tianxiang’s looks and aura.

“My husband is indeed fortunate this time,” Lin Yiwu sighed to herself.

“Sister Tianxiang is truly beautiful,” she exclaimed in admiration.

Lu Tianxiang’s mood improved slightly, and a smile appeared on her face as she responded, “Lin younger sister is also extremely beautiful. Han Li is quite lucky to have married you; who knows what good deeds he did in past lives to deserve this.”

“Oh, by the way, you mentioned earlier that we share some common experiences. Please, do tell,” Lu Tianxiang encouraged.

Lin Yiwu immediately began talking with a smile, “At the time, I was only at the pinnacle of the Innate Realm and happened to attend a meeting of Loose Cultivators, where I met my husband.”

“My husband is truly secretive; a Gang Yuan Realm cultivator disguising as a Pihai Realm first-layer…”

The two women chatted in the carriage, finding great pleasure in their conversation. After learning about Lin Yiwu’s experiences, Lu Tianxiang felt much closer to her.

So, it wasn’t just her who had been deceived by Han Li’s concealment of his cultivation level!

In another carriage, Han Li was imparting his teachings to Qiu Yueyao, Lin Yiyin, and his other beautiful concubines. With his profound cultivation, he had perfected the Five Elements Formula and other martial arts skills.

His Spiritual Sense covered vast territories at all times, paying particular attention to the carriage carrying Lin Yiwu and Lu Tianxiang. After learning about their conversation, Han Li felt at ease.

He needed Lu Tianxiang to become a capable assistant; a Great Master of the Myriad Phenomena Realm could significantly enhance the foundation of the Han Family and also provide great assistance to Han Li.

But mere promises would not suffice. He also had to resolve the knot in Lu Tianxiang’s heart, open up her defenses, and establish deeper bonds with her, such as having offspring together.

Faced with the cultivation-related questions from Qiu Yueyao, Lin Yiyin, and the others, Han Li answered them with ease, dispelling their doubts effortlessly.

Before they realized how time passed, two hours of instruction had elapsed.

After this session, the women felt their understanding of the Five Elements Formula had deepened, and they noticed their cultivation had advanced substantially, likely due to the energy infusion.

At the Zhen Ding Pass, a massive migrating caravan slowly passed through. After offering certain resources, the Han Family’s group was permitted to proceed.

Many onlookers gathered, watching this scene and discussing among themselves. After some conversation, they learned the origin of this caravan.

It was from Fengyang Manor, home to the ‘wife-acquiring ancestor’, the Han Family, moving out of Leizhou. All the onlookers believed the Han Family’s prospects were grim.

While the Han Mansion might dominate Lingjun City in Fengyang Manor, Lingjun City was too minor, merely a county town. In comparison to Leizhou, not to mention the entire Daqian Empire, it was insignificant.

The patriarch of the Han Family was only in the early stages of the Gang Yuan Realm; such a level of cultivation would pose great danger even for an individual traveling between states, let alone reaching Qingzhou, especially since the patriarch was bringing along wives, offspring, and a large number of maids and guards.

This was practically an invitation to be plundered!

While no one understood why the ‘wife-acquiring ancestor’ would want to leave the comfortable life in Lingjun City for such a perilous move, every passerby doubted the Han Mansion’s ability to succeed, expecting them to perish on the road between states.

In the eyes of some Pihai Realm cultivators and even Great Gang Yuan Realm Masters, recounting their past experiences, still caused their legs to tremble with fear.

They had been the lucky few to survive the perilous inter-state crossings; originally a group of cultivators had set out together, but very few lived to tell the tale, with most meeting their end.

Watching the caravan cross the state boundary and leave Leizhou, some cultivators exchanged knowing glances, recognizing kindred spirits. They smiled complicitly and followed the caravan out of Leizhou.

The Han Family’s migration to Qingzhou was doomed to fail; they would certainly fall to bandits and be pillaged. With that in mind, these cultivators decided it was better to plunder the Han Family’s caravan themselves than to let unknown bandits benefit.

After all, the Han Family was the overlord of a county town, and its leader was a Great Gang Yuan Realm Master. They surely had some savings, which meant these raiders could get their hands on valuable cultivation resources.

And that Han patriarch had acquired many beautiful concubines, each said to be stunning and also possessing cultivation.

With dozens of beautiful concubines, the patriarch probably couldn’t attend to all of them. So, after killing Han Li, they would take on the hardship of cultivating with the concubines themselves, warming their ‘paths’.

In the midst of the migrating caravan, Han Li sneered coldly in his heart; he knew exactly what these people were plotting.

Having made their decision and acted upon it, they must now pay the price for their actions—and that price, naturally, would be their lives.

Two Great Gang Yuan Realm Masters and seven Pihai Realm cultivators—he could extinguish them all with a flick of his finger.

Han Li planned to handle them lightly this time, so as not to burst their Space Rings—otherwise, all the items within would be destroyed, and that would indeed be a loss.

Even though these cultivators were poor, altogether they had some Spirit Stones, Spiritual Artifacts, and Spirit Pills, enough to enrich the Han Family’s treasury.
