Chapter 203: Chapter 154 Gongsun Yue: I like to eat soft food, the transformation of Lu Tianxiang and Jiang Baiye_2

Translator: 549690339

Lu Tianxiang was Han Li’s first wife, her cultivation and talent both superior to Jiang Baiye’s; although Yun Miaoyi became Han Li’s wife later, her talent and cultivation were similar to Jiang’s, but Yun Miaoyi was more open-hearted. She sweetly called him ‘husband’ at every turn and backed Han Li in everything.

This made Jiang Baiye feel a sense of crisis, worried that Han Li would neglect her; the Sword Immortal felt inferior to Lu Tianxiang and Yun Miaoyi in certain aspects.

Now, Han Li had brought back another woman, and it seemed she wasn’t captured; they got along very happily, which deepened the Sword Immortal Jiang Baiye’s sense of crisis.

Strictly speaking, she, Lu Tianxiang, and Yun Miaoyi were all taken by Han Li, becoming his wives out of helplessness, but this new stunning beauty was not.

She really wanted to hear what they were talking about, but that bastard Han Li had blocked the sound; her spiritual sense could only see the images. Even so, she could tell their relationship was rapidly closing—a lot of intimate talking and cooing.

“She is Gongsun Yue, the daughter of Gongsun Yun, Han Li’s master at Tianxuan Mountain; she’s considered Han Li’s senior martial sister,”

Lu Tianxiang glanced at Yun Miaoyi and then at Jiang Baiye, sighing inwardly before she spoke.

Having been Han Li’s wife for several years now, she had completely let go; she had fallen for Han Li, even considering calling Han Li “husband.”

Han Li treated her well; his cultivation, status, and all were entirely sufficient. Han Li was actively making preparations for her, helping her to advance to the True Martial Realm, and she had already borne Han Li one child, with the second now on the way.

Although she didn’t like Han Li frequently taking wives and concubines, Lu Tianxiang knew she couldn’t stop it, so she had come to terms with it. Being Han Li’s wife was quite nice, and life at Chengsheng Mountain was infinitely more relaxed and pleasant than in the Chaotic Domain.

But considering Jiang Baiye had not yet let go, Lu Tianxiang decided to wait. She felt she was naturally the chief wife as Han Li’s first wife and that Yun Miaoyi and Jiang Baiye, with their inferior talents and cultivation, were only secondary wives.

As the undisputed main wife of the Han Family, she needed to maintain harmony in Han Li’s harem. If she too called Han Li “husband,” and only Jiang Baiye continued to “stand apart,” it might make Jiang Baiye feel isolated.

Gongsun Yue had always stayed at Tianxuan Mountain, hardly ever going out; the outside world only knew of her existence, very few knew what she actually looked like.

Jiang Baiye and Yun Miaoyi had learned about Han Li being a Tianxuan Mountain disciple when they investigated him before; they knew of Gongsun Yue’s name and status but nothing else.

Lu Tianxiang knew her; while hiding in Leizhou, she had collected detailed information about the four factions of Leizhou, including Gongsun Yue’s name, status, cultivation, and appearance.

Lu Tianxiang spoke forthrightly to clear up Jiang Baiye’s confusion; the witch Yun Miaoyi didn’t care, but she could see that Jiang Baiye had some knots in her heart.

Lu Tianxiang, with her noble character and tender heart, had noticed in her interactions with Jiang Baiye that the latter seemed to harbor a trace of inferiority.

Inferiority was not something that should be afflicting a woman as proud as Jiang Baiye, but it surely did. After analyzing, Lu Tianxiang found the reason but said nothing; this needed to be addressed by Han Li.

Han Li had many wives and concubines; naturally, there would be neglect in his care for each. Furthermore, Jiang Baiye, in her interactions with Han Li, consciously concealed this aspect, so he had yet to discover it.

“So, it’s her,” realized Yun Miaoyi and Jiang Baiye.

Compared to them, Gongsun Yue and Han Li seemed to be childhood sweethearts?

No wonder Gongsun Yue got along so well with Han Li after arriving at Chengdao Peak; Jiang Baiye was somewhat relieved but also felt the pressure.

She wondered if she should make some changes.

After some thought, Jiang Baiye said, “It is said that Gongsun Yue is a Fourth Grade talent; although her cultivation is somewhat low right now, her beauty, figure, temperament, as well as her identity, truly qualify her to be Han Li’s wife.”

Jiang Baiye had made her position clear, acknowledging Gongsun Yue; if Han Li were to marry Gongsun Yue, she would have no objections.

At the summit of Chengdao Peak, after chatting with Gongsun Yue for a while, Han Li arranged a sleeping palace for her but did not introduce her to his beloved wife and concubines right away.

Given Gongsun Yue’s current identity was not appropriate, though both he and Gongsun Yue knew what the eventual outcome would be, Han Li had promised to give her a courtship process and naturally could not introduce her as a wife.

If he introduced her as his senior sister, and Gongsun Yue lived in a palace area where only Han Li’s beloved wife and concubines would reside, it would not be fitting, so Han Li planned to wait a bit longer. He was confident he could conquer his innocent and pure senior sister Gongsun Yue in just a few days.

After bidding farewell to Gongsun Yue, Han Li appeared where Lu Tianxiang and the other two women were. Judging by their expressions, Han Li knew they were already aware of the situation. He smiled, sharing some details with them.

When they learned that Han Li had slain the True Martial Realm Emperor Wu of the Yinyang Sect, all three women were shocked; Han Li’s strength was not what they had imagined.

Han Li was not just a newly advanced True Martial Realm Emperor Wu, his cultivation must also be at least at the mid-stage of the True Martial Realm, otherwise how could he have slain another mid-stage True Martial Realm opponent?

Who among those who had cultivated to the True Martial Realm was not a genius? Yet they had never heard of someone in the True Martial Realm being able to challenge beyond their level.

As for the varying levels of martial intent, they did not fully understand, only knowing some were ordinary and others powerful, but the specifics were unclear.

Han Li knew these details because the System had informed him; otherwise, he would not have had access, as such knowledge simply did not exist in the Xuan Domain.

In the entire Qianyuan Divine Province, perhaps only a few Sacred Lands like Bai Yujing, Xumi Mountain, and Myriad Demon Mountain might have a clear understanding of the detailed classifications of martial intent levels.

“Based on my husband’s description, if I’m not mistaken, that person should be Dugu Bing of the Yinyang Sect,” Yun Miaoyi spoke up.

“Although my status wasn’t high when I was with the Yinyang Sect, I still had access to some secrets. I knew the Yinyang Sect had two True Martial Realm Emperor Wus, one was the Sect Hierarch Chen An, and the other was Dugu Bing. It’s said his cultivation is even higher than that of the Yinyang Sect Hierarch.”

“So it’s him.” Lu Tianxiang suddenly realized, knowing who Dugu Bing was.

On her journey to the Daqian Empire, she had familiarized herself within the Sect with the True Martial Realm Emperor Wus of the major powers in the Xuan Domain and some powerful Great Grandmasters of the Myriad Phenomena Realm, and Dugu Bing was one of them.

The Sect intelligence reported: The Yinyang Sect always maintained two True Martial Realm Emperor Wus, one was the Sect Hierarch, and the other would rotate every three hundred years to serve as a guardian. It just so happened that it was Dugu Bing’s turn this time.

Dugu Bing, with his arrogant nature, was a disciple of the Sect Master of the Blood Devil Sect of the Demon Domain. After joining the Yinyang Sect, he always stayed within the sect to guard it. He had quite a discordant relationship with the Sect Hierarch Chen An because Dugu Bing, relying on his profound cultivation and higher status, wanted to meddle in Yinyang Sect affairs to seize more benefits.

Dugu Bing also liked to posture sanctimoniously in front of others, looking down on his enemies with an arrogant attitude, and was incessantly annoying with his swagger. He had been very displeasing to people even when he was in the Demon Domain.

Jiang Baiye looked at Han Li and realized she still did not understand him well. Han Li’s cultivation was too high, and although she had some words she wanted to say to Han Li, her red lips parted slightly, yet she remained silent.

In the end, Jiang Baiye simply said, “Dugu Bing was injured by you under another identity. If you come forward with that identity, Chu Zhenxiong will surely seek you out, and the plan you spoke of earlier can be implemented very well.”

Han Li’s eyebrows twitched as he noticed the subtle changes in Jiang Baiye, but now wasn’t the appropriate time to speak. He planned to find time to understand Jiang Baiye more deeply and solve her troubles.

“Jiang Jiang is correct, that is exactly what I had in mind,” Han Li nodded slightly.

“I have investigated Chu Zhenxiong under another identity. The intelligence suggests that he is very likely a mid-stage True Martial Realm strongman. My interaction with him as an elegant middle-aged man should be most fitting and could possibly leverage more benefits,” he said.

Upon hearing this, a smile appeared on the faces of Yun Miaoyi and Lu Tianxiang, as they too thought of this key point. If handled well, Han Mansion would embrace an opportunity for soaring development.

By then, Han Li’s status within the Daqian Empire would be one of the highest, enabling him to extract much from Chu Zhenxiong, including the foundations of the national treasury, while they would also obtain countless precious cultivation resources to enhance their overall strength.
