Watching her affect a pretentious and melodramatic air, Wan Lei’s face contorted with laughter until it felt like it would split.
Her exquisite beauty single-handedly transformed the Five Elements Hall’s four great beauties into five, yet she dared call herself a hag. If she were a hag, then most women in the world would be ashamed to show their faces.
“If it’s really impossible, I can propose marriage first. After you’ve married off all your concubines, you can divorce me, or you can write me a letter of repudiation. That way, I won’t be an eyesore in front of you, and you can enjoy yourselves freely with your concubines. I’ll also have peace and quiet. It’s good for all of us. As for the new primary wife, who should be chosen? Qi Manyao is the most devoted, but she’s too timid and lacks assertiveness. She’d panic when things happen and wouldn’t be able to control anyone. Xi Sha is a sage, and we can’t neglect her, but she’s too gentle and wouldn’t be able to control the other three. Yuan Jun is temperamental but brainless, too easily manipulated and used as a pawn, so that won’t do either. Ah, what about Qingwu? She’s got brains and is capable, but let’s forget about her. That little vixen, if she became the primary wife, who knows how many times she’d cuckold you. Hmm? Wait, I’ve already been repudiated, why am I still worrying about choosing a primary wife for you? Whoever you choose is none of my business!”
“Hahahaha…”
Wan Lei couldn’t hold back any longer. Fang Xiaoyu’s self-directed adorable act sent him into peals of laughter. He stood up, walked over to Fang Xiaoyu, took her slender waist with his left hand, pulled her into his embrace, and gently placed his right hand on her cheek. Seeing the playful smile in Wan Lei’s eyes, Fang Xiaoyu’s cheeks flushed, and she let out an arrogant hmph.
“Don’t worry, my primary wife will always be only you.”
Wan Lei was right. If all those women were taken into his harem, only Fang Xiaoyu could keep them in line. Despite looking like the youngest among them, this little loli possessed the strongest aura and was also intelligent, enjoying bullying others. She was the epitome of a queenly demeanor.
“Oh? If I’m hearing you right, you plan to take all of them in? Well, it’s not like I’ve been nagging you for nothing.”
Fang Xiaoyu turned her head, her voice becoming even more sarcastic.
“In my life, I will only marry one person. Do you know who it is?”
Wan Lei’s smiling eyes made Fang Xiaoyu’s small face turn even redder.
“How would I know? Yao Yao? Sha Sha? Jun Jun? You’re so lecherous, you probably have many other confidantes that I don’t know about.”
Fang Xiaoyu’s large eyes darted around, her small mouth slightly pouting, looking both proud and disdainful. If an older woman or a mature lady put on such an expression, it might be irritating, but with Fang Xiaoyu’s loli face, she looked nothing but adorable.
“Oh dear, my icy little loli, why are you so cute?”
Wan Lei couldn’t help himself and kissed her cherry-like lips. A moment later, Wan Lei released her.
“Hmph, lecherous people find everyone cute.”
Despite saying this, Fang Xiaoyu’s face turned even redder. Wan Lei stopped listening to her, scooped her up, and headed towards the house.
“Ah, what are you doing? We’re already an old married couple, and you’re still like this? It’s still daytime!”
“A lecherous husband doesn’t care about daytime or nighttime.”
The bedroom door closed, and the curtains were drawn, concealing the spring scene within.
…
An hour later, Wan Lei lay on his side, gently embracing the girl’s smooth shoulder, pulling the panting girl into his arms.
“We’ve been married for over a decade, and you’re still like a young lover.”
Fang Xiaoyu rolled her eyes.
“My wife is forever young.”
“Hmph, stop with that. We haven’t settled the score about you finding concubines yet.”
As soon as Fang Xiaoyu finished speaking, she felt her derrière being smacked.
“You’ve gone too far, you dare to hit me?”
“If you can hit other girls, why can’t I hit you? If you mention concubines again, I’ll hit you every time.”
“Concubines!”
*Smack!*
“Concubines!”
*Smack!*
“Concubines, concubines, concubines!”
*Hiss…*
Wan Lei realized he had been tricked. So, he flipped over and changed his position to spank her.
…
After a night of peaceful sleep, early the next morning, Wan Lei and Fang Xiaoyu went out, flying towards the Hall of Merit. Upon arriving at the Hall of Merit, Wan Lei went directly to the cultivation technique section and found the Buddhist sect’s Dragon-Elephant Prajna Skill. He saw that it required a full three thousand merit points. After all, it was the foremost cultivation technique of the Buddhist sect, personally created by the Buddha, capable of achieving the Great Dao when cultivated to its peak. However, now was not the time to be stingy with merit points, as he needed to wear the Demonic Ring to fight and protect himself from enemies. Cultivating the Dragon-Elephant Prajna Skill, on the other hand, required protecting himself from the Demonic Ring.
Going downstairs, Wan Lei dutifully paid three thousand merit points to obtain the jade slip for the Dragon-Elephant Prajna Skill. He had been warned by the Golden Immortal Venerable and didn’t want to rely on his status to be a playboy and obtain cultivation techniques for free anymore.
Returning home, Wan Lei didn’t rush to cultivate the Dragon-Elephant Prajna Skill. Instead, he rummaged through his storage bag and pulled out various miscellaneous items. These were trinkets, such as jade pendants, rings, necklaces, all of which were magical artifacts from the Immortal Realm. Then, Wan Lei took out many miscellaneous jade slips, tidied them up briefly, and began copying them onto those small trinkets. This operation confused Fang Xiaoyu, leaving her unsure of what he was doing.
“What are you doing?”
Wan Lei glanced at Fang Xiaoyu, then lowered his head to fiddle with the objects, saying, “Aren’t we about to embark on a journey through the myriad worlds? Ah, no, it’s combat. Joining the expeditionary force and traveling across the planes to fight the demon race gives us opportunities to visit other universal planes. Back then, when the Five Great Immortal Venerables traveled through the planes, they left behind six great secret realms in our Lei Feng Realm. Squirrel also left behind inheritance of formations. They left many cultivation techniques and treasures for us to seek our own fortunes. It can be said that without the things they left behind, neither of our cultivation paths would have been so smooth.”
“I understand the reasoning, but I still don’t understand what you’re doing.”
Fang Xiaoyu said with wide, confused eyes. Wan Lei smiled and explained, “The Immortal Venerables said back then that when they were weak, they ventured into secret realms, obtained opportunities, and grew with the support of various predecessors. Now that they have become strong, it is time for them to give back to the younger generation. The path of cultivation is like this: seniors support juniors, and once juniors grow strong, they help those weaker than them, passing it down through generations. Isn’t that how sects and powers are formed? We grew up with the help of the inheritances left by the Six Great Immortals, and now we have reached the Tai Heng realm. Placed in other worlds, we are considered strong individuals. Now, it is time for us to contribute and give back.”
