Chapter 169 How To Play High-End Rounds Without A Vest? Patriarch Is Concubine Again
Chapter 169: How to Play a High-End Game without a Disguise? The Ancestor Has Taken Another Concubine.
Yan Liulang's mature and charming face was filled with shock and confusion, unsure of what to do, seriously suspecting that she had mistaken the person.
In the past three thousand years, there had been no True Martial Realm Martial Kings in Leizhou. How did she happen to encounter one now?
As her thoughts raced, Yan Liulang felt that there were two possibilities. One was that Han Li was originally in the True Martial Realm, disguised as a Soul Refining Realm cultivator, deliberately fishing for information. He was too sinister and cunning.
The second possibility was that this person was not Han Li, but someone pretending to be him.
Suddenly, a flash of insight struck Yan Liulang, and she blurted out, "Are you Li Feiyu?"
She felt that she had guessed correctly. Han Li was just a false identity of Li Feiyu, who was in the True Martial Realm. True Martial Realm cultivators wouldn't suddenly appear; they were usually old monsters.
In the Xuan Domain, there were only a few True Martial Realm cultivators, and currently, there were only two in the Great Qian Dynasty: Chu Zhenxiong, the Great Qian Ancestor, and Li Feiyu, the Master of the Li Clan.
Han Li was infatuated with women and crazily took concubines, and Li Feiyu was the same. Li Feiyu's first appearance was when he saved Tianxuan Mountain.
The outside world believed that Li Feiyu was truly repaying a debt of gratitude. The founder of Tianxuan Mountain had once shown him kindness. Now it seemed that it was not the case at all. Han Li, Li Feiyu's false identity, was a disciple of Tianxuan Mountain, and Li Feiyu, with his strength, helped out casually.
"It seems that the Ancestor who takes concubines hasn't changed yet," Yan Liulang muttered to herself.
Han Li was the former Ancestor who took concubines, and Li Feiyu was the current Ancestor who took concubines, but no one knew that they were the same person.
At most, people thought that there might be a connection between the two, such as Han Li being a descendant of Li Feiyu. They wouldn't think they were the same person because the difference in cultivation level was too great.
Han Li's information was easy to find. He was only a little over two hundred years old and had only reached the Innate Realm a few decades ago. It was impossible for him to cultivate to the True Martial Realm so quickly.
Breaking through to the Myriad Manifestations Realm and the True Martial Realm was extremely difficult. Those masters in the Empty Void Realm and the grandmasters in the Myriad Manifestations Realm knew it very well. It was like a barrier that blocked them, preventing them from taking that step.
Yan Liulang also knew very well that she had a fourth-grade aptitude and had been at the peak of the Empty Void Realm for many years. If it weren't for her great achievements this time and the rewards she received, she didn't know how long it would take for her to break through to the Myriad Manifestations Realm.
If she hadn't come to trouble Han Li and been suppressed by him, she wouldn't have had this speculation.
She had another speculation in her heart: Li Feiyu was Han Li's false identity. Although they were the same person, the significance was completely different.
One was disguised as an old monster, and the other was disguised as a young cultivator. The shock they brought to people was completely different.
Yan Liulang didn't believe it. She would rather believe that Li Feiyu was the real person.
"You're quite clever," Han Li smiled and didn't explain.
Li Feiyu was him, and Han Li was also him. Names were just aliases. He could also be called Ye Fan, Shi Hao, Zhong Yue, or Jiang Nan.
These days, who didn't have a few aliases?
How could you play a high-end game without a disguise?
Yan Liulang's face turned bitter. Even if she had guessed correctly, she couldn't escape from Li Feiyu's hands.
When she infiltrated the Great Qian Dynasty, she thought it would be easy to capture Han Li, but she didn't make much preparation and set off without much thought.
Yan Liulang then thought that even if she had some means, it would be useless. If her Master came to save her, he would only be implicated as well.
Although there was still a True Martial Realm Martial King, Dugu Bing, in the Yin Yang Sect, he couldn't possibly defeat Li Feiyu. He had been seriously injured by Li Feiyu's attacks before, and now his cultivation had fallen. He was afraid that there would be no return this time.
"Master."
At this moment, Yun Miaoyi's voice sounded, bringing Yan Liulang back to reality. She only noticed that there was another person beside Li Feiyu. She had been too focused on Li Feiyu before, and she was too shocked.
"Miaoyi? How did you end up here?"
Yan Liulang was stunned, looking at Li Feiyu, then at Yun Miaoyi, who was being held by Li Feiyu. She murmured.
"Did Li Feiyu capture you too?"
Yan Liulang was certain that it was the case. No wonder she hadn't heard any news from Yun Miaoyi for half a year. It turned out that she had fallen into Li Feiyu's hands. She had already seen her own fate from Yun Miaoyi.
As witches, she was afraid that she would be the next Yun Miaoyi.
"Consider it so."
Yun Miaoyi looked at the shocked Yan Liulang and sighed, saying, "My husband won't make things too difficult for you."
"Husband?" Yan Liulang's pupils contracted. Just as he was about to speak, he found himself unable to utter a word.
Han Li didn't want to listen to her anymore. He returned to Chengdao Peak with Yun Miaoyi and Yan Liulang, handing Yan Liulang over to a maid, and then continued to accompany Yun Miaoyi.
On the peak of Chengdao Peak, Yun Miaoyi hesitated for a moment before asking, "How do you plan to deal with her, husband?"
"Make her a concubine," Han Li said indifferently.
"But Yan Liulang is a Grandmaster of the Myriad Manifestations Realm, and she is so mature and charming. Can you bear to do that, husband?" Yun Miaoyi persuaded.
She thought that her husband would give Yan Liulang the status of a concubine if he didn't give her the status of a wife. She didn't expect her to only be a concubine.
Being a concubine meant having no status or position. As the esteemed master of the Hehuan Sect and a Grandmaster of the Myriad Manifestations Realm, being just a concubine was too miserable.
"She is different from you," Han Li shook his head.
Although Yan Liulang was a mature beauty and an extraordinary beauty, she practiced a cultivation technique that involved absorbing the essence of others. Her reputation was well-known, and Han Li didn't want to be her next victim.
If it weren't for Yun Miaoyi's plea and his principle of not wasting resources, Han Li would have only planned to make Yan Liulang a female slave, using her for cultivation and bearing many children.
Female slaves didn't need to be taken care of as much, and Han Li wouldn't impose any restrictions on their fertility. The more children they bore, the better. Yan Liulang had high aptitude, so she could give birth to many offspring with decent aptitude.
Yun Miaoyi pursed her lips, sighed, and didn't persuade him any further.
She understood Han Li's meaning. Yan Liulang's previous reputation had harmed her. If she were just a mature beauty, with Yan Liulang's aptitude and cultivation, she believed her husband would still accept her.
Even if he couldn't marry her, he could still take her as a concubine.
Although Yan Liulang could only be a concubine, Yun Miaoyi felt relieved. On one hand, she had repaid a favor, and on the other hand, she realized that her husband had high standards.
Girls like her, Jiang Baiye, Gongsun Yue, and Lutian Xiang, who were still virgins, could be wives. Those with lower aptitude, appearance, and cultivation like Li Mingmeng and Lin Yiwu could only be concubines.
As for someone like Yan Liulang, it was already good enough for her to be a concubine. Her aptitude, appearance, and cultivation were all high. Otherwise, her husband would probably kill her directly.
Although her husband was fond of women, it seemed that he was very selective. The standards for taking concubines had been raised in recent years. Those beautiful female cultivators with eighth or ninth-grade aptitude and good looks were no longer taken as concubines.
After nibbling on Yun Miaoyi for a while, Han Li returned to the Li Mansion, dealt with some matters, accompanied many concubines, and then returned to the Han Mansion.
After playing happily with his wives and concubines like Jiang Baiye, Lutian Xiang, Lin Yiyin, and Liu Yuexin, it was already late in the evening, with the sun setting and the moon rising.
At this time, Han Li went to see the witch Yan Liulang.
In a small courtyard in Chengdao Peak, Yan Liulang, who had been washed clean by the maids, had already changed into a specially made cool dress.
Yan Liulang paced back and forth in the bedroom, feeling a bit restless and helpless. She took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down, but she couldn't calm down no matter what.
During this period, she had thought about many things.
Yun Miaoyi called Han Feiyu her husband, indicating that she was Han Feiyu's wife. Seeing Han Feiyu going out with Yun Miaoyi and being affectionate, it was very likely that Yun Miaoyi was Han Feiyu's wife.
What about her? What identity would she have to live on?
She was, after all, a Grandmaster of the Myriad Manifestations Realm, and her aptitude and appearance were not inferior to Yun Miaoyi's. She knew all kinds of techniques and methods to serve others, which Yun Miaoyi, a young girl, couldn't compare to. At the very least, she should be a concubine.
Yan Liulang knew that it was unlikely for her to become Han Feiyu's wife. Her innate conditions were not enough. If there was a second-hand opportunity, she might have a chance, but she was no longer that person.
Yan Liulang's psychological expectation was to become a concubine, with the prospect of becoming a wife at worst.
If she could become Han Li's concubine, that would be great. Her cultivation might be unsealed, and she could use Han Li's resources to cultivate to a higher realm.
She didn't want to be a cauldron or a female slave. That would be absolutely worse than death.
As the master of the Hehuan Sect, she had had many cauldrons before and knew how miserable their fate would be. She just didn't expect that she would have such a day.
She has always been the one to take care of others, but now she might be taken care of by someone stronger.
Thinking about this, Yan Liulang felt a sense of bitterness. If she had swallowed her pride and not come to Yuanzhou to capture Han Li and take care of him, she wouldn't have ended up in this situation.
Although both are forms of taking care, it's not her taking care of Han Li, but rather being taken care of by Han Li.
As for dying? Yan Liulang hadn't considered it. She had just recently advanced to the Myriad Manifestations Realm and still had six to seven hundred years of lifespan left. She couldn't bear to die.
Lowering her head to look at her cool dress, Yan Liulang stuck out her small tongue and licked her lips. She decided to serve Han Li well later, striving for better treatment.
There's no chance to escape, and she doesn't want to die either. Since she has to live on, she wants to live better.
When Han Li appeared, he found Yan Liulang very proactive and enthusiastic, taking the initiative to serve him.
"Oh, are all witches so obedient? Have I already succeeded in taming her before we even started?" Han Li muttered to himself.
Just like Yun Miaoyi, this little witch also changed very quickly, which Han Li greatly admired and held in high regard.
Although Yan Liulang was very proactive, Han Li still gave various commands. Compared to a mature witch, he preferred to tame her and make her his own.
Yan Liulang completely obeyed the orders. Even though Han Li had already made up his mind, she was confident that with her methods, she could definitely change Han Li's mind and get better treatment from him.
With Yan Liulang's active cooperation, Han Li was extremely satisfied in just half an hour. Yan Liulang could perfectly obey all kinds of commands, giving Han Li a sense of accomplishment and satisfaction.
He decided that if there was a chance in the future, he would definitely put Li Xianzi and Yan the Witch together and let them compete. It seemed more fun to tame them that way.
Various thoughts flashed through Han Li's mind, and a satisfied expression appeared on his face. To be honest, Yan Liulang's service as a witch was really top-notch. Many times, she took the initiative to do things that were in line with his intentions.
After a while, Han Li couldn't hold back anymore and carried Yan Liulang, the witch, to spend this wonderful night together.
The next day, Yan Liulang woke up and saw that there was no one beside her. She felt somewhat resentful towards Han Li, who didn't seem to know how to cherish her.
"Ah~"
After calming down for a while, Yan Liulang sighed, her expression complicated.
She had been so proactive last night and served Han Li well, which could be seen from Han Li's expression.
But this bastard Han Li still only gave her the status of a concubine. He really had a heart of stone and didn't show any affection.
"Next time, I'll make you regret it." Yan Liulang muttered.
Although she only got the worst outcome she expected, Yan Liulang didn't give up. She planned to work harder and strive for more in the future. She didn't believe that this bastard Han Li wouldn't change his mind.
After tidying up, Yan Liulang walked out of the courtyard, enduring the soreness in her body. The beautiful scenery of Chengsheng Mountain improved her mood a bit, but when she saw those stunning beauties enjoying the scenery, her mood turned sour and even a little depressed and inferior.
From the way those women were dressed, they should be Han Li's wives. Yan Liulang's eyes revealed envy.
She had seen Han Li's information before, including information about his concubines, but his wife's information was tightly protected.
Those concubines had low aptitude and even lower cultivation levels. Their looks, temperament, and even their skills were far inferior to hers, but they were concubines, while she was just a concubine, with no status among them.
"Ah~"
Yan Liulang sighed again and silently returned to the courtyard, giving up on the idea of finding Yun Miaoyi.
Chengdao Peak is so big, and she doesn't have any cultivation right now. She's still sore all over. How easy is it to find Yun Miaoyi?
Besides, even if she found Yun Miaoyi, it wouldn't make a difference. Yun Miaoyi couldn't change Han Li's mind, otherwise she wouldn't only have the status of a concubine.
"Everything depends on myself."
On the other side, in the Dazhen Li Mansion.
After leaving Yan Liulang in the morning, Han Li went to find Lutianxiang, Jiang Baiye, Zhang Yuyan, Zhou Zhiruo, and other beautiful wives and concubines.
Currently, only Yun Miaoyi, Gongsun Yue, and four other wives know that he is Li Feiyu. The other concubines have no idea and haven't noticed.
The concubines thought that Han Li was with other concubines or with his four wives. They never imagined that their husband was already hiding in the Golden House in the Dazhen Capital, establishing another mansion and taking in concubines.
The concubines in the Li Mansion are the same. Li Qingqing, Dieyi, and other beautiful concubines dare not inquire about Li Feiyu's whereabouts. They only hope that their husband can spend more time with them. If he doesn't come, they will cultivate on their own or gather in groups.
Han Li stood on the top of the Chongxiao Tower, overlooking the capital city of Daqian, while calculating the time in his heart.
It has been several months since the Dragon Girl opened the Jiaosheng Secret Realm and took away the Dragon Ball, trapping several True Martial Realm experts inside. There is less than a year and a half before they will be born.
At that time, he can take action and capture the Demon Queen. Han Li has been thinking about the Demon Queen for a long time.
Although he has tasted the two true demon women, Fang You Si and Bi Xinlei, they cannot be compared to the Demon Queen.
Although it was just a glimpse, the Demon Queen left a deep impression on Han Li. Her enchanting and wild nature is something that none of his current wives and concubines possess.
Moreover, the Demon Queen is also in the True Martial Realm, most likely with a third-grade aptitude. All of this makes Han Li even more eager for the Demon Queen.
He can't wait to capture the Demon Queen immediately and let her know how powerful Han Li is.
Han Li's spiritual sense surged, covering the capital city of Daqian, deliberately avoiding the imperial palace. He doesn't want to provoke Chu Dingqian, that old thing.
Since confirming that Chu Zhenxiong is the second generation of Chu Dingqian, Han Li's killing intent towards Chu Dingqian has deepened. Chu Dingqian split from Da Jing and has lived for thousands of years, with a deep scheming mind.
But after he proposed so many conditions and squeezed the Daqian Dynasty hard, swallowing a quarter of its heritage, Chu Dingqian surprisingly agreed without much hesitation.
There must be a problem. Maybe that old thing is thinking about reincarnation and wants to settle accounts with Han Li after cultivating to the True Martial Realm. By then, Han Li won't know Chu Dingqian's identity as the third generation, and he might be ambushed.
In addition, Han Li is very eager for the soul-nurturing furnace in Chu Dingqian's hands. His desire to kill Chu Dingqian has become even stronger.
Last time, when he killed the National Teacher's lineage to test Chu Dingqian, Han Li could clearly sense the deep hidden killing intent of Chu Dingqian. Han Li knows that if he continues to test and provoke him, Chu Dingqian may not be able to hold back.
Han Li doesn't want to break the current situation. He doesn't have the strength to completely control everything yet, so he is waiting, waiting for himself to break through to the True Martial Realm.
Chu Dingqian is also waiting, but Chu Dingqian needs much more time than Han Li, hundreds of years more.
Han Li doesn't want Chu Dingqian to successfully reincarnate. When he breaks through to the True Martial Realm and the timing is right, and everything is prepared, he can assassinate Chu Dingqian and seize the soul-nurturing furnace.
Otherwise, when Chu Dingqian is reincarnated, we won't be able to obtain the Soul Nurturing Furnace. By then, Chu Dingqian will see that his strength is too strong and will definitely flee to a foreign land to avoid Han Li's sharpness. Then the Soul Nurturing Furnace will truly be lost.
Without the Soul Nurturing Furnace, we won't be able to obtain the Life Nurturing Furnace hidden in the Chengsheng Mountain. That is a top-grade divine weapon.
Han Li is basically certain that it is the Life Nurturing Furnace. Only such top-grade holy soldiers, great holy weapons, can continuously absorb spiritual energy for tens of thousands of years. The Heaven Grade Life Nurturing Furnace at the mere peak level cannot achieve this.
After Han Li's spiritual sense covered the entire Daqian Capital City, he continued to expand outward. His spiritual sense is very strong, comparable to the True Martial Realm's Second Heaven, with a maximum coverage range of sixty thousand miles in radius.
Yuanzhou is the largest state in the Daqian Dynasty, covering a radius of one million miles. Han Li's spiritual sense can cover more than half of it, detecting the information he wants.
After a long time, Han Li retracted his spiritual sense, a smile appearing on his face.
Han Li has explored the Daqian Capital City and more than half of Yuanzhou several times, thoroughly investigating all high-quality female cultivators, as well as female cultivators of moderate quality.
Even if these arrogant women or princesses hide in formations, the mere Fourth Grade formations cannot block Han Li's investigation, and they haven't even noticed him.
He also heard a lot of news. These forces were frightened by his methods of killing the Guoshi lineage and snatching Li Xianzi. Originally, they all wanted to send the arrogant women within their forces to him as concubines.
However, the official authorities of Daqian issued a statement, conveying Han Li's previous explanation to Chu Dingqian, causing all forces to quiet down and choose to temporarily wait and see.
This disappointed Han Li a bit. Although he didn't have that intention at first, he would have been happy to see this situation.
A few days later, the owner of the Li Mansion announced that he would take concubines again, this time a total of three beautiful concubines, all noble women with a good reputation in the capital city.
These three concubines have different temperaments, some are cold and pure, some are noble and dignified, and some are playful and lovely. They all have good looks, with a beauty score of over eighty-seven.
Zhou Xuan is a Fifth Grade, with her cultivation reaching the later stage of the Vital Spirit Realm. Guo Le and Du Feifei have Sixth Grade aptitude, but their cultivation is only in the early stage of the Vital Spirit Realm.
The ages of the three women are not old, less than fifty years old. Normally, their aptitude would not allow them to have such cultivation at this age, but they are not from ordinary families and have a lot of influence.
So Han Li directly took them as concubines.
