15: Good things are coming

In the rear garden of the Li Residence, Li Daoxuan was having tea with his two wives.

Li Daoxuan couldn't help but ask, "Qing Xuan, who is the Senior Brother of the inner sect?"

"Could he also be an admirer of yours?"

Qing Xuan immediately couldn't sit still and said in a sweet voice, "What do you mean 'also an admirer of mine'? That guy is an idiot, and his mouth is just asking for a beating!"

Li Daoxuan asked in confusion, "There's one thing I don't understand. We just had our wedding, how did they know so quickly, and how could they come knocking on our door so fast?"

Qing Xuan's eyes darted around, not daring to look Li Daoxuan directly in the eye.

Being such a clever little Immortal, she had long since figured out the whole story.

There was only one possible truth: her own father had leaked the news. In other words, it must have been her father causing trouble.

"Senior... Senior Brother, it should be my father who accidentally leaked the news."

"Hahaha... I thought it would be Father-in-law!"

Qing Xuan said remorsefully, "I'm sorry, Senior Brother!"

Li Daoxuan wasn't angry; he understood very well. He waved his hand and said with a smile, "Junior Sister, there's no need to apologize. This old Father-in-law has good intentions."

"Ah?"

Li Daoxuan continued, "Father-in-law is sending me experience!"

"Or rather, it's a test, constantly urging me to become stronger!"

Qing Xuan was relieved now and said with a smile, "I'm relieved that Senior Brother can think that way."

"Can you tell me about the Senior Brother of the inner sect? That way, I can be prepared."

Qing Xuan had a very bad impression of this so-called Senior Brother of the inner sect. She frowned and said, "The Senior Brother of the inner sect is Wang Teng. He..."

"Who? Wang Teng?" Li Daoxuan couldn't help but exclaim.

Su Youruo and Qing Xuan both looked at him with puzzled eyes.

"What's wrong? Is there a problem with Wang Teng?"

"No! Keep going."

"Wang Teng's elders and my elders are very familiar with each other, so they wanted to arrange for us to become Dao Companions."

"But I really dislike Wang Teng. He's arrogant, conceited, cold-blooded, and vicious...!"

Li Daoxuan asked again, "How's his strength?"

Qing Xuan looked at Li Daoxuan and said playfully, "He should at least be at the Peak of the Golden Core Stage."

"It's said that he's already in seclusion and has even boasted that he won't come out until he reaches the Nascent Soul Stage!"

"Hiss~ That powerful?"

Qing Xuan said helplessly, "This guy is quite arrogant, but you have to admit his strength is truly formidable."

"His Aptitude is also comparable to mine."

"So, Senior Brother, you must work hard. The next one to come knocking on your door might be Wang Teng!"

Li Daoxuan remembered Wang Teng, but he couldn't help but say, "Does Wang Teng's father have a catchphrase?"

"What catchphrase?"

Li Daoxuan suppressed a laugh and said, "My son, Wang Teng, has the Aptitude of a Great Emperor!"

"Not that, but his father often says, 'My son, Wang Teng, has the Aptitude of an Immortal!'"

"Cough cough~ Hahahaha......"

Li Daoxuan really couldn't hold back his laughter, which left Su Youruo and Qing Xuan confused.

"Senior Brother, you're still laughing. You should hurry and go into seclusion to Cultivate. I'm no match for Wang Teng, so don't expect me to protect you."

"Mm! I do need to increase my strength. Let's go!"

"Ah~ Bad Senior Brother, why are you holding me? Aren't you going into seclusion?"

Going into seclusion was absolutely impossible, because he had a faster way to improve.

After that, the Li Residence didn't encounter any more people coming to cause trouble. However, the reputation of the Li Residence had already spread throughout Tianshui City and was rapidly diffusing to other places.

Li Daoxuan wasn't idle either; he was making babies.

Especially after Su Youruo's body had recovered, she also joined in.

The only thing Li Daoxuan regretted was not being able to embrace both women and enjoy the full blessing of having multiple wives.

One day, Li Daoxuan felt that the atmosphere at home was off.

"My two wives, why are you both looking so worried? Tell me, and I'll solve it for you."

"Husband, I... I'm pregnant again," Su Youruo said helplessly. She had just given birth not long ago, and now she was pregnant again.

"Senior Brother, I'm also pregnant, but I'm a little scared."

"Ah! You're both pregnant, that's truly wonderful, hahaha... Qing Xuan, don't be afraid, we will take good care of you."

Soon, everyone in the Li Residence knew that their master was going to be a father again. At the same time, Li Daoxuan also had some time to rest.

Li Daoxuan decided to use the resources he had. Qing Xuan knew her Senior Brother wanted to Cultivate, so she also took out her own resources.

Li Daoxuan came out after less than a day in seclusion.

Most of his Spirit Stones and Medicinal Pills were used up, and his strength had smoothly reached the Middle Stage of the Foundation Establishment Stage.

"Senior Brother, you came out of seclusion so quickly???"

"Hehe! That's right, I had a small Breakthrough in strength, so I came out. I mainly couldn't stop worrying about the two of you."

The two wives entered a mode of nurturing their pregnancies. They even considered Li Daoxuan, asking him if he wanted to take in Xiao Yu and Xiao Man as well.

Li Daoxuan directly refused! It was hard enough to get some rest, and Li Daoxuan temporarily didn't want to work himself to death.

Most importantly, Li Daoxuan's standards were higher now; ordinary women no longer entered his Dharma Eye.

Of course, it didn't rule out the possibility that if a woman was truly a peerless beauty, he would consider marrying her.

......

In the Imperial Palace of the Great Zhou Kingdom, a majestic figure dressed in a Dragon robe called out to a shadowy place.

"Shadow Secret Guard, how is it? Is there any news?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the news has arrived."

"Present it!"

This person was precisely the Great Zhou Emperor, Ji Mingkong, and the Shadow Secret Guard was responsible for monitoring the world, or more accurately, monitoring the Cultivators within the Great Zhou.

Ji Mingkong took the secret letter and read it carefully, muttering to himself as he read, "A powerful Cultivator has appeared in Tianshui City?"

"And a very powerful Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivator."

"Heavenly Dao Sect, Li Daoxuan, quite interesting."

The Great Zhou Dynasty placed great importance on Cultivators. Under normal circumstances, they would first try to win them over. If that failed, they would try to befriend them. If there was truly no other way, they could only eliminate them.

Ji Mingkong pondered for a moment, then suddenly remembered that he seemed to have a daughter.

As for his daughter's age, appearance, and so on, he had no impression whatsoever.

"Summon the Ninth Princess to see Us!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Heh heh! The Ninth Princess, without a title, without fine clothes and rich food, was just a little transparent in the palace.

After a long time, a stunningly beautiful woman dressed in plain clothes, without any makeup, walked over cautiously.

She didn't dare to look up the entire time.

"Greetings, Your Majesty!"

"Are you Xiao Jiu? Lift your head."

The Ninth Princess tremblingly raised her small head, and a face of captivating beauty, free of makeup, radiated endless brilliance.

After Ji Mingkong clearly saw her face, his eyes lit up. It was stable!

"Xiao Jiu! Your Imperial Father has neglected you. Have you ever hated your Imperial Father?"

"No... no!"

"How old are you this year?"

"Twenty-three!"

"Your Imperial Father will bestow upon you a marriage. What do you think?"

The Ninth Princess blinked her eyes, her expression very complex. Perhaps leaving this cold Imperial Palace would be a good thing.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
