Chapter 367: Chapter 192 Step Four of Cultivation: The Path to Transcendence, Pursuing Eternity_5
Withdrawing his gaze, Han Li pulled Bai Keqing into his embrace, took in her delicate fragrance with a sniff, and said with a smile, “Has Xue Yueqing agreed?”
“Agreed.”
“With such terms, any Divine Yuan Realm Emperor of War would agree.”
Bai Keqing nodded, a smile also spreading across her face, and then she took the initiative to bite Han Li’s lips, launching an assault.
“Are you satisfied now, my dear?” Caressing Bai Keqing’s seductively wild face, Han Li spoke softly.
Lying in her husband’s arms, Bai Keqing turned from a little wildcat into a little kitten, pouting her lips and said, “It’s the husband who is satisfied.”
Xue Yueqing would be coming, which would take some pressure off her and handle her husband’s advances, but isn’t the real beneficiary the husband himself?
“Hahaha~”
Han Li burst into laughter, feeling refreshed and invigorated, for he already knew what kind of demon Xue Yueqing was.
The true exemplar of a vixen!
Of course, Xue Yueqing was not just any vixen; she hailed from the Sky Fox Clan and had become an Eight-Tailed Celestial Fox. If she were to sprout a ninth tail, Xue Yueqing would be promoted to the Tongxuan Realm and become a great powerhouse.
Han Li currently had three demon clan beauties and concubines; his beloved wife Bai Keqing was a Snake Demon, his concubine Fang Yousi a Flower Demon, and his concubine Bi Xinlei a Fox Demon.
As for Long Yue, she did not really count as a demon clan, instead barely classified under the Dragon Clan.
Even though Bi Xinlei was a Fox Demon, she did not belong to the Sky Fox Clan, but she had already provided Han Li with a rather satisfying experience.
Now, Han Li was curious to taste what an Eight-Tailed Celestial Fox was like. He only sealed Xue Yueqing’s cultivation base, her physical strength remained, ready to accommodate his “cultivation” well when the time came.
Three days later, Han Li formally welcomed Xue Yueqing into his home as a bride.
This news spread throughout Yonchang Manor, causing the leaders of various powers in Yonchang Manor to frown and sigh.
It was exactly what they were afraid of.
They were still praying that the old ancestor of the Han Mansion would not take wives so frequently, yet the old ancestor had taken another and another and another wife.
This was already the third marriage within a year, and each time they had to prepare precious gifts; this kind of expense would eventually empty their coffers.
Regarding the old ancestor of the Han Mansion marrying frequently, the great powers already had their complaints, and if this continued, grievances would be loud and numerous.
Although they were displeased in their hearts, the various powers still actively took part in the old ancestor Han’s grand wedding ceremony. It would be too costly if the old ancestor harbored resentment against them.
The wedding ceremony of the old ancestor Han was a grand affair, with various powers attending in full to show their respect. Seats were filled to the brim, and for a time, Chengsheng Mountain bubbled with voices and became the focus of Yonchang Manor once again.
And along shores of the three great rivers within a hundred miles of Chengsheng Mountain, bountiful banquets were laid out for the secular commoners nearby to feast to their hearts’ content.
The cultivator powers of Yonchang Manor might have grievances, but the secular commoners around Chengsheng Mountain were ecstatic. The old ancestor Han was finally getting married again, something they had long hoped for.
Every time the old ancestor Han took a concubine, they could enjoy lavish meals for free for three days. Every time he married, they could do the same for seven days, which truly felt like the days of the gods to them.
These commoners had long since revered the old ancestor of the Han Mansion as a celestial being, offering daily incense and prayers, hoping that he would take more wives and concubines.
With Han Li’s strength, for these secular commoners, there was no doubt he was as a deity.
Thanks to this strategy, the population of secular commoners within a two-hundred-mile radius of Chengsheng Mountain surged, and daily, large numbers of people moved there from other parts of Yonchang Manor, resulting in several new mortal cities springing up within this area.
Han Li was fully aware of these developments and made no intervention, allowing things to evolve naturally.
A small number of secular commoners were of little use to the Han Mansion, but when there are many – like tens of millions or even hundreds of millions – they become significant.
If the population base grows, each year there will be quite a few with the talent for cultivation. With some luck, they might even find some seedlings with higher cultivation talent.
This was Han Li’s “vegetable patch,” where those with talent would be nurtured and could replenish some of the Han Mansion’s servants. If they were talented and beautiful, they could marry directly into the Han Mansion.
Based on their talent and beauty, they would be taken by Han Li or his descendants.
Han Li always hoped that his vegetable patch would produce someone like Yao Xi, a reborn powerhouse, or even a person of great fate. Even if their parents were mortal, their talent could reach Third Grade or even Immortal Grade.
Unfortunately, the golden seedling he had been awaiting had yet to emerge, possibly because not enough time had passed.
After the grand wedding, Han Li flashed to the outer chamber of Xue Yueqing’s bedroom, their bridal chamber.
Standing outside the chamber, Han Li was in high spirits; the Demon Emperor Xue Yueqing had officially become his wife, and she was his first Divine Yuan Realm peerless female cultivator to marry.
Although Xue Yueqing was only of Second Grade talent, she was perfect for Han Li, who had just been lacking a wife of such calibre.
Once Xue Yueqing bore his child, typically, he would have a Second Grade talented descendant. Since it would be his first descendant of this grade, he would receive a reward.
His other wife, the Dragon Princess Long Yue, had Immortal Grade talent and a special constitution known as the Mystical Yin Monarch Body. Their first child might likely inherit Immortal Grade talent. Whether they will inherit the Mystical Yin Monarch Body, Han Li was not certain, but he anticipated another reward regardless.
Similarly married this year, Yao Xi was someone Han Li could not quite fathom.
Yao Xi had been married after Long Yue and was already a few months pregnant; Han Li did not know what kind of talent the offspring would possess.
He had always suspected Yao Xi to be reborn, but he could not discern if her previous life had been that of a strong individual from the Tongxuan Realm, a Saint from the Saint Abyss Realm, a Great Emperor from the Heaven Imperial Realm, or even a real goddess.
