Concubines Lead to Strength: The Path to Immortality Begins with Taking a Spouse

Given her understanding of her father, the Emperor, who had spent his entire life fighting to control the Northern Domain, how could he accept his fate so hastily?

"Willing or not, it doesn't matter."

"Since the matter is already settled, unless His Majesty can produce a Great Power from the Land Immortal Realm to support him, otherwise... there's no possibility for change."

Gu Changge said with a smile, speaking casually.

"No... what I mean is, my lord husband should be somewhat cautious."

"To prevent my father from being forced into a corner and hurting you in desperation."

Wang Yue shook her head gravely.

"It's no trouble." Gu Changge wasn't concerned, even though the Emperor of the Northern Domain was at Ninth Grade Annihilation Realm, and he himself was only at Perfection of the Sixth Grade Refining Void Realm.

Currently, he might not be fully confident in killing a practitioner of the Ninth Grade Annihilation Realm, but he was absolutely certain he could save his own life if faced with one.

As long as no one above Ninth Grade at the Sage Realm made a move against him, there was truly no danger to speak of.

He might not be able to chase down someone of the Ninth Grade Annihilation Realm, but they definitely couldn't kill him!

Now with numerous hidden trump cards on hand, he held this confidence and certainty!

Seeing her lord husband so confident, Wang Yue did not say anything further.

She was merely giving a reminder; it might not truly come to that after all.

Should that day really arrive, most likely the two ancestors in the Imperial Mausoleum wouldn't just stand by idly.

With his current status being drastically different as the Sword Sect's Saint, the ancestors would have to weigh their actions carefully; offending him to death would bring the Sword Sect's wrath, something the Northern Domain Royal Family couldn't bear.

"I'm planning to leave the city for a while tomorrow."

"Here are some elixirs for you and Youbai. I won't be bringing the two of you out with me this time."

As Gu Changge spoke, he silently recited the exchange, redeeming the elixirs.

[Exchange: two Third Grade Comprehension Pills (+35), consuming Attribute Points: 140,000, elixirs issued to the System Space.]

[Exchange: two Third Grade Root Bone Pills (+15), consuming Attribute Points: 60,000, elixirs issued to the System Space.]

[Total Attribute Points consumed: 200,000.]

[Host's remaining Attribute Points: 300.]

Since he planned to leave the city to hunt Demon Beasts, he did not hold back his Attribute Points and decided to exchange everything he could.

The remaining scant 300 points, he was too lazy to exchange them and would use them to get some elixirs for Youbai to snack on after his return.

In the middle of their conversation, he had already taken out a wooden box containing the elixirs and placed it on the table.

"Hmm..."

Wang Yue nodded slightly, softly concurred.

However, she couldn't help feeling a bit helpless in her heart, as she could no longer keep up with the pace of her lord husband.

Accompanying her lord husband out of the city would merely be a burden.

For someone like her, with a naturally strong temperament, this was quite difficult to bear.

Yet, she had no solution.

Her Talent, now, was indeed not bad, having already been shaped into an Acquired Dao Body by her lord husband!

Even in Central State, she would definitely be sought after by the Holy Lands.

Although she might not experience the same scene as her husband, she would certainly receive treatment worthy of a Saint Heir in a Holy Land.

Despite this, she couldn't keep up with her lord husband's realm.

This sense of defeat made her feel both helpless and distressed.

"Why does my wife look so unhappy?"

Gu Changge noticed her expression and couldn't help but ask.

"It's just that I suddenly feel so useless..."

Wang Yue pursed her lips, her gaze complex as she spoke.

"At your age, my wife has reached Perfection in the Ruins Realm, which is also admirable in Central State."

"Moreover, now my wife has the Acquired Dao Body, your cultivation speed will get faster and faster."

"I believe it won't take long before you break through to the Sixth Grade Refining Void Realm."

"You won't be inferior to those so-called gifted individuals in Central State, perhaps even more outstanding."

"There's no need to belittle yourself."

Gu Changge reassured her earnestly.

"Compared to others, I don't really feel anything."

"It's just that being by my lord husband's side, the pressure is too great."

Wang Yue gave a bitter smile. Before meeting her lord husband, even when she had not yet developed an Acquired Spirit Body, she was still brimming with confidence as the high and mighty Little Princess of the Northern Domain.

But only after experiencing her husband's strength did she realize her own weakness.

"That is indeed true," Gu Changge nodded upon hearing this.

"My lord husband really isn't modest at all..." Wang Yue pouted, but that complex feeling also dissipated with her lord husband's casual teasing.

"There's no need to deplete yourself internally, just focus on diligent cultivation."

"I hope when I return from Central State, I can see my wife ascend to the throne of the Northern Domain and become the Empress who reigns over the world," Gu Changge said with a faint smile, gently pressing her hand on his shoulder.

"Certainly."

Although she felt somewhat inferior in front of her husband, for other matters, she was still full of confidence!

While they spoke, Yuan Youbai also came out of the room and directly laid on her husband's lap, but now she was noticeably taller, no longer looking like a charm hanging from him.

Lying on his lap was not too comfortable anymore.

So she simply adjusted her posture and sat directly on her husband's lap, leaning into his arms, greedily smelling that uniquely heady scent.

"Isn't husband taking Youbai with him this time?"

After taking a couple of deep breaths, Yuan Youbai then blinked her eyes somewhat plaintively.

Going out of town with her husband, she could also find lots of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures.

"This time I may go a bit deeper."

"It's perfect for the two of you to stay in Gu Hall refining alchemy until I return."

Gu Changge stroked her hair and, while speaking, handed her two wooden boxes.

Sure enough, upon seeing the wooden boxes holding the elixirs, Yuan Youbai, who was initially somewhat disappointed, suddenly lit up, wiping the drool from the corner of her mouth.

The elixirs given by her husband were simply the most delicious treasures she had ever eaten!

"Then, that's fine!" Yuan Youbai clutched the wooden boxes, suddenly spoke up again: "But... can Youbai make a request?"

"Oh?"

"Let's hear it."

Gu Changge looked at her with some surprise, wondering what Little Hanhan was up to.

Having elixirs to eat and still making requests, what more did she want?

"Um..."

"Tonight, can husband take Youbai to sleep together?"

Yuan Youbai buried her head in his chest, not daring to look up at his expression.

Her voice was timid, almost inaudible.

After speaking, her little face was so hot it was frightening, even her earlobes seemed about to drip blood.

Hearing this request, Gu Changge was stunned.

He turned his head with a puzzled look to see Wang Yue behind him.

But Wang Yue was just as confused, not expecting Little Hanhan to make such a request.

When she had shared a room with her husband, they had always activated the Isolation Array, so this little one shouldn't know anything.

How suddenly...

Had she made such a request?

"It wasn't me..." Facing her husband's questioning gaze, Wang Yue shook her head repeatedly.

"Why this sudden request?"

Gu Changge could only ask with confusion, staring at the little one in his arms.

He was a little unsure if it was as he guessed...

With the level of Little Hanhan's Spirit Intelligence, it shouldn't have reached this stage yet.

He had estimated that she would need to reach at least the Seventh Grade Unlimited Realm to have the similar intelligence and thoughts as a twenty-year-old girl.

Plus, nobody had taught her these things.

"Um..."

"Because husband's scent smells good."

"If husband doesn't want to... then, then never mind."

Yuan Youbai thought her request was too much and spoke with some fear.

"..."

Gu Changge couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth.

He had thought of various scenarios, but never expected it to be for this reason.

It was indeed the first time someone had said his scent was nice...

Probably because of the Dragon Clan's particularity, she was more sensitive to scents, after all, she could even smell Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures from a great distance.

And since his own cultivation of Sacred Body was at Small Success, it was normal for his scent to be somewhat unique.

"Alright, then we'll sleep together tonight."

Gu Changge let out a wry smile, deciding he had thought too much.

He then agreed on the spot.

Hearing her husband's agreement, Yuan Youbai felt her eyes shine!
