Longevity Clan Starts with the Patriarch's Marriage - Chapter 233

Chapter 233: Chapter 167: Fairy, Witch, All Are Ancestors_1
 

In the Li Manor, within a secluded palace hall.

Li Na stood there, bewildered, looking around aimlessly, not knowing what to do.

Just two quarters of an hour earlier, she had been within the Mentor’s Manor, deeply conversing with her fellow disciples and their master, preparing to leave the Daqian Empire to live a carefree life elsewhere.

With one peak Myriad Phenomena Realm Great Grandmaster, four to five Gurus in the Hollow Void Stage, and a number of masters in the God Refining Realm, their group was already quite powerful.

After breaking away from the Daqian Empire, whether establishing their own sect, starting a new school, or joining one of the top forces, they would all hold high status and position.

As the most favored disciple of the State Preceptor, having cultivated to the peak of the God Refining Realm and with great hope of advancing to the Myriad Phenomena Realm under her master’s guidance, she naturally expected to attain a lofty status as well.

But now, everything was gone.

Her master and several of her fellow disciples had perished, casually slain by the master of Li Manor in the blink of an eye. She herself had been captured and brought to the Li Manor; she knew full well what her fate would be, she just didn’t want to face it.

Although it was widely said that the manor’s lord was very Benevolent, never practicing any Collection and Supplement Method, and that the beautiful female cultivators who had married into the Li Manor were all living well, Li Na felt this was just a facade. Perhaps Li Feiyu, this great demon, had bigger schemes in mind.

Li Na had considered suicide, but her cultivation had been sealed; now, she was no different from a common person, and with several maids with intact cultivation watching her, she found she had no opportunity to end her own life.

Deep down, she still clung to a thread of hope; what if the rumors she had heard from the outside world were true?

If so, marrying into the Li Manor and becoming one of its master’s concubines might not be so bad. At the very least, she wouldn’t have to die or become a mere cultivation vessel.

Li Na didn’t want to die; she still yearned to reach the Myriad Phenomena Realm. She had so much life left to live, so much pleasure to experience; her earlier years had been consumed by nothing but cultivation.

She knew about the concubines in the Li Manor. Although their looks were comparable to hers, their aptitudes and cultivation levels were inferior. Li Na felt that if she took the initiative, she might become Li Feiyu’s favored consort.

First, using Li Feiyu’s resources to cultivate to the Myriad Phenomena Realm, then, if an opportunity presented itself in the future, she would consider whether to seek revenge for her master.

Her master had treated her extremely well, so well that at times, she wondered if he saw her as nothing but a cultivation vessel, waiting to harvest her once she became a Myriad Phenomena Realm Great Grandmaster.

But since her master had never indicated such intentions, Li Na thought she might be overthinking it. Besides, her master was now dead, so such thoughts were pointless.

Looking at her thin, black silk dress, Li Na bit her red lips, suspecting that very soon, she would be ravaged by that old demon, Li Feiyu.

After Li Feiyu brought her back, he handed her over to the maids. They took her to bathe and changed her into this dress, then brought her here.

Li Na had been waiting, waiting for Li Feiyu to appear. But Li Feiyu had yet to show himself, and she couldn’t help but let her mind run wild.

What will be the outcome of her waiting?

Another half a quarter later, as Li Na grew increasingly listless, Han Li’s figure finally arrived, albeit belatedly.

“What… what do you want to do?” Seeing Li Feiyu appear, Li Na’s eyes lit up. Hesitating briefly, she asked.

In that half a quarter, Li Na had thought through a lot. She felt she had to seize the opportunity; she couldn’t die or become Li Feiyu’s cultivation vessel.

She hoped to become Li Feiyu’s favored concubine, even his wife. For this, she had pondered many methods, unsure which might succeed.

“Li Na, is it? You have two choices, first, become a servant concubine to this seat,” said Han Li indifferently.

Given Li Na’s identity, Han Li thought offering her the status of a servant concubine was the limit. It was a relationship that benefited the flesh but not the heart; having children would be the extent of it, to produce more offspring for him.

As the fourth disciple of the State Preceptor, albeit incidental, Han Li had no intention of letting her go, nor did he wish to show any mercy. An enemy was an enemy, who knows whether she might harbor resentment and seek revenge when the chance arose.

Han Li had checked Li Na’s background—Sixth-grade aptitude, peak of the God Refining Realm, and face value around ninety points—qualifying her as a high-quality female cultivator.

If it were not for his identity, and if there were no such enmity between them, Han Li might have considered taking her as his wife.

But as Li Feiyu, with deep enmity between them, Han Li was unsure whether Li Na could forget the past, and he didn’t care to find out. Considering Li Na’s aptitude and attractiveness, she could avoid death by becoming a servant concubine.

Regardless, Li Na’s cultivation level was not to be restored. If she was unwilling, she would be treated merely as a tool, which made little difference to Han Li.

Servant concubine?!

Upon hearing this, Li Na’s complexion turned several shades paler, she trembled, and stepped back involuntarily, her face a mask of disbelief.

Those Sixth-grade aptitude female cultivators of the Gang Yuan realm, inferior to her in both looks and temperament, could become Li Feiyu’s minor concubines, yet she was relegated to being a servant concubine?

What a joke!

Li Na doubted her ears, but after scrutinizing Li Feiyu multiple times, she confirmed his intention.

In the Capital City of Da Qian, she was the famously known Fairy Li Na, counted among the five fairy-like beauties of Da Qian. Was she only suited to be a servant concubine?

She felt as if she had been knocked down from heaven into hell.

A servant concubine was an even lower existence compared to a minor concubine. Even being a “concubine” conferred some semblance of status, but a “servant concubine” was merely one to be summoned and dismissed on a whim, considered even more abjectly low.

Servant concubines could be directly purchased, came as part of a dowry, were given as gifts, and more…

A servant concubine had no status; they were not officially married. If she were to become one, it would be tragically low—slightly above servants and guards in the manor but ranked below managers, butlers, and overseers.
