Lingjun City, Han Mansion.
A wedding of exceptional grandeur was being held, with the prominent figure of the Han Family as the groom and a pair of twin sisters as the brides.
This was the third lavish wedding in Lingjun City in a month; each ceremony featured the same groom from the Han Family but a different bride.
Representatives from various factions of Lingjun City and Fengyang Manor had grown weary of attending banquets, accustomed to the Han Family patriarch frequently taking concubines, a congratulatory gift each time sufficed.
They had realized that the Han Family patriarch wasn’t particular about the value of the gifts, seeking merely the liveliness of the event; as long as one didn’t arrive empty-handed, it was acceptable.
The common people of Lingjun City had enjoyed nine days of free-flowing banquets within a month, grateful to the generous Han Family patriarch. Some citizens even took home his portrait to worship, burning incense daily and praying for him to take concubines more often, ideally every three days.
With every concubine the Han Family patriarch took, their quality of life dramatically improved, feasting on meat and fish for three straight days.
If it weren’t for the Han Family patriarch’s high standards, requiring the concubines to be increasingly beautiful and possess cultivation talent, the common people would have been eager to offer their daughters to the Han Mansion, wishing for a new concubine every three days, ensuring an endless supply of meat and fish.
After the splendid wedding concluded, the twin sisters were led to separate bridal chambers to await Han Li’s favor.
In the main hall, amidst toasts and laughter, Han Li entertained the congratulating guests before preparing to enter the bridal chamber.
More than a month had passed since resolving the Body-Cultivating Furnace incident, and Han Li finally enjoyed some peace, relishing once more the joy of quiet development.
The previous two times, he had taken two concubines, each extraordinary in beauty and possessing eligible cultivation talent—one with Ninth Grade and the other with Eighth Grade.
After taking zood care of each concubine for half a month, Han Li then took the
twin sisters, Chu Yutong and Chu Yumeng.
The twin sisters, Chu Yutong and Chu Yumeng, one serene and the other lively, had nearly identical appearances, making it hard for the naked eye to distinguish between them.
They were not only sweet-looking and innocently adorable, but also had fine figures and exceptional demeanors, along with ample bosoms.
At just eighteen years old, Chu Yutong and Chu Yumeng, although possessing Ninth Grade cultivation talent, had not achieved high cultivation levels due to coming from a minor family without plentiful resources.
That minor family lived in a secluded village within Fengyang Manor and had recently encountered serious trouble when they accidentally discovered a mini Spirit Stone Mine, instantly attracting the covetousness of many powers.
The mini Spirit Stone Mine was estimated to yield a few thousand Lower Grade Spirit Stones, which the Chu family, lacking even an Innate Realm cultivator, had no capability to defend, yet they were desperate to keep it.
If they could defend the mine, the Chu family could develop and grow rapidly in the future. It was the family’s hope for rising to prominence, tied to the interests of every member, with none willing to relinquish it.
Since the mine was miniaturized, with only a few thousand stones as reserves and required a significant amount of time and energy to mine, it was beneath the notice of Pihai Realm cultivators.
However, it attracted many forces with Innate Realm cultivators who sought to monopolize or partition this mini Spirit Stone Mine.
The Chu family had also contacted some forces with Pihai Realm cultivators, but those forces were greedy, demanding 80% of the Lower Grade Spirit Stones without lifting a finger.
The Chu family was unwilling to agree, as it felt like a rip-off; putting in all the effort to mine, they would only receive 20% of the Lower Grade Spirit Stones in the end.
Without a solution, the Chu family ultimately decided to offer the twin sisters, Chu Yutong and Chu Yumeng, to the Han Family patriarch as concubines, thereby securing an alliance with the distinguished Han Family.
The Han Family patriarch had an excellent reputation, fond of taking concubines, and provided ample care for the families of his concubines, making him the most approachable Pihai Realm cultivator in Fengyang Manor to seek patronage from.
Moreover, the Han Family patriarch was not a weakling, a fifth-layer “powerhouse” of the Pihai Realm!
The twin sisters were the only two in the younger generation of the Chu family with Ninth Grade cultivation talent, with the potential to reach the Innate Realm in the future. Nevertheless, in the eyes of the Chu family elders, the sisters were far less important than the mini Spirit Stone Mine.
In the end, the Chu family did ask for the sisters’ opinions, worried that if they were forcefully sent to the old Han as concubines, they might speak ill of the Chu family.
Upon learning of the situation, the sisters showed no objection; being concubines to the Han Family patriarch seemed to have no downsides.
Staying with the Chu Family, even if they had Ninth Grade cultivation talent, without a supply of resources, it was difficult for them to break through to the Innate Realm.
But if they became the concubines of the Old Ancestor of the Han Family, reaching the Innate Realm wouldn’t be difficult, and they could even strive to advance to the Pihai Realm. After all, many of the Old Ancestor’s concubines had already reached the Innate Realm.
When Han Li saw Chu Yutong and Chu Yumeng, the twin sisters, he agreed to the Chu Family’s request. He generously waived the twenty percent of spirit stones that the Chu Family was supposed to tribute.
The Chu Family, of course, was overjoyed at having secured a powerful support. After the news spread, the covetous forces, although unwilling, daring not to attempt to lay their hands on the Chu Family’s spirit stone mine anymore.
Shortly after, Han Li arrived in the bridal chamber and saw the stunning bride; Han Li smiled.
Mandarin ducks pair off under the quilt at night; a pear tree in blossom overwhelms the begonias.
After the wedding, Han Li entered another sowing season, working diligently on the undeveloped fertile land like a tireless old farmer.
On normal days, Han Li would just stay in the rear flower garden, admiring flowers, arranging them, watching dances, playing with beautiful jade, watching a group of beautiful concubines dance—his days passed joyfully.
He also heard the news of the Mother of No Birth fleeing to Leizhou, but he didn’t take it seriously. The Daqian Empire would deal with the Mother of No Birth.
Moreover, the Mother of No Birth had been seriously injured, and it was rumored that her power had greatly declined. She probably wouldn’t dare to cause trouble again and would remain low-key and hidden for many years.
Han Li simply followed Tianxuan Mountain’s instructions, letting the Han Mansion go through the motions without actually putting in any effort.
Even if the Mother of No Birth’s strength wasn’t at its peak, she wasn’t someone he could deal with, and he had no interest in provoking this Sect Hierarch.
Lying on a recliner, Han Li enjoyed eating grapes brought by Qiu Yueyao one moment, then savored a peach handed over by Liu Yuexin, followed by a tangerine from Li Mingmeng, a pink grape by Lin Yiwu, and a pomelo from Lin Yiyin…
After tasting a variety of fruits, Han Li felt extremely happy. Not only did he have delicious fruits to eat at any time, but he could also watch overwhelmingly beautiful dances.
At this moment, two figures approached hand in hand, the twin sisters Chu Yumeng and Chu Yutong who had not long been married to him.
“Husband, guess who I am?”
“Heehee- Husband, guess whether I am the elder sister or the younger one?
There’s a reward if you guess right.”
Chu Yutong and Chu Yumeng said giggling.
They wore identical dresses, made up exactly the same, with two identical beautiful faces leaning in from the left and right, even their voices and tones matched.
“Husband, no cheating.”
Lin Yiyin immediately said from the side, knowing that even her husband’s naked eye couldn’t distinguish them.
“Cough cough-
Han Li was about to use his Spiritual Sense to examine them when he heard Lin Yiyin’s words and had to give up.
So Han Li carefully inspected the two sisters and felt them up, still unable to tell who was who.
After thinking, Han Li said, “The one on the left is Yutong, and the one on the right is Yumeng.”
“Hehe, Husband, I’m Yumeng,” the beauty on the left immediately said.
The beauty on the right followed, “Husband, I am Yutong, surely you haven’t mistaken me.”
Chu Yutong clung to Han Li’s arm and shook it playfully, allowing Han Li to feel soft waves.
Han Li hugged both sisters in his arms, rewarding each of them, then laughed and said, “Whoever I say is who..”
