25: Chapter 25 Li Qianqian

Li Qianqian

Wang Bin sat there, his eyes occasionally glancing at Yang Yuhuan’s tender small hand, feeling as if a kitten was scratching his heart, itching all over.

But this was in public, with many people around, and there was still one last girl waiting to be interviewed, so he couldn't lose his composure too much.

This last girl was Li Qianqian. She wore a snow-white dress, like a blooming lily, and her delicate appearance made her seem very fragile.

Wang Bin only took one look, and his heart skipped a beat, feeling as if this girl was a little darling who needed protection.

He couldn't help but wonder, if this girl, who was so captivating, also knew the art of enchantment, she would surely bewitch people's souls.

However, it was a pity that she only had Five Spiritual Roots, which, in the eyes of Cultivators, was truly too poor an Aptitude.

Seeing that it was finally her turn, she took small, delicate steps and walked gently to the front, her voice soft and thin, like a breeze rippling over a lake:

"This humble one is Li Qianqian, nineteen years old this year.

I only found out I had Five Spiritual Roots after the test.

Sir, let me tell you about my situation.

My father was originally the Prime Minister of the You Kingdom, but he was framed by his subordinates and is now imprisoned in the You Kingdom's imperial jail.

Our entire family was implicated because of this matter.

At that time, I happened to be out traveling and narrowly escaped, which is why I wasn't captured.

Sir, I have no other thoughts. I just want to follow you, whether as a maid or a Dao Companion, as long as you can rescue my entire family, I will do anything you ask."

Upon hearing this, Wang Bin's heart blossomed with joy. This girl was so gentle and spoke so sincerely; this was how an ordinary person should act when encountering difficulties.

He turned his head to look at Huang Youcai, his gaze as if asking, "Can you handle this?"

Huang Youcai was very quick-witted and immediately used Divine Sense transmission to tell Wang Bin:

"Sir, this kind of thing is a piece of cake for me, please rest assured."

Wang Bin felt much more at ease now.

Wang Bin cleared his throat before assuring her:

"Li Qianqian, I know about your family's situation.

Since you are willing to follow me, I will immediately send people to handle your family's affairs.

Once your father is rescued, if he wants to continue being an official, no problem; if he doesn't want to, he can do whatever he wishes.

As for you, you will Cultivate with me from now on.

Although your Aptitude is not very good, by following me, you can at least live many more years."

Wang Bin was in an exceptionally good mood today, and he continued:

"Qianqian, Yuhuan, since both of you are willing to follow me, I cannot treat you unfairly.

I will give each of you a Life Energy Pill as a betrothal gift.

This Life Energy Pill is not very useful for those who have Cultivated for a long time, but for Mortals and those who are just about to Cultivate, it is truly a good thing.

If a Mortal takes this Life Energy Pill, under normal circumstances, living an extra ten or twenty years is no problem."

Upon hearing this, Yang Yuhuan and Li Qianqian's eyes lit up, their faces filled with pleasant surprise.

"Is this an Immortal's treasure? It's too amazing!"

The two were overjoyed and quickly bowed to Wang Bin, simultaneously whispering, "Thank you, husband, thank you, sir."

Qin Wenjun and Wang Zhaojun listened from the side. Although they weren't entirely clear what the Life Energy Pill was, hearing that it could allow Mortals to live an extra ten or twenty years, they knew it must be an incredibly good item.

Both of them felt a bit of regret about their earlier decision, but with so many people present, it would be too embarrassing for them to change their minds now; they simply couldn't do it.

Wang Bin was extremely happy today, in a very good mood. His romantic luck had arrived, and there was no stopping it.

However, this was all thanks to Huang Youcai.

He smiled and said to Huang Youcai, "Youcai, you did well today.

Later, you go and take care of the affairs of Yang Yuhuan and Li Qianqian's families.

Adding to the merits you earned today, when you reach Qi Refinement Stage Perfection, I will help you so that you can better achieve Foundation Establishment."

Upon hearing this, Huang Youcai smiled so wide his mouth couldn't close, and the wrinkles on his face almost popped out. He hurriedly said, "Thank you, sir, thank you, sir."

After speaking, he lowered his head and happily walked away.

He understood Huang Youcai's meaning, that he would help him with Foundation Establishment in the future, and Huang Youcai felt excited just thinking about it.

The main reason he gave up Cultivating was that his hopes were slim; how wonderful it would be to live for two hundred years.

At this moment, only Wang Bin and the four women remained in the hall.

Wang Bin originally thought about continuing to interview the ten maids outside, but then he reconsidered and decided against it.

Now that he had these two girls who looked like fairies, he no longer found those Mortal maids appealing.

People should know when to be content.

Moreover, he was going to be a groom tonight, and he was still pondering whom to choose for the evening.

Thinking of this, Wang Bin said to Yang Yuhuan and Li Qianqian:

"Yuhuan, Qianqian, the affairs of the City Lord's Mansion's backyard will be managed by the two of you from now on.

I will not concern myself with the ten maids outside; you can arrange them as you see fit.

You haven't started Cultivating yet, so you still need to eat.

I will give each of you one hundred Spirit Stones; you can use them to arrange your daily expenses, and if you run out, just ask me for more.

Once you begin Cultivating, I will arrange for you to eat Spirit Beast meat once a day.

For other matters, you can handle them as you see fit. Also, Qin Wenjun and Wang Zhaojun, the four of you, after breakfast tomorrow, come to the backyard of the City Lord's Mansion to find me, and I will arrange Cultivation Techniques for you.

I will go attend to my own matters first; I leave this place to you."

After speaking, Wang Bin stood up, ready to leave; he needed to continue studying the basic knowledge of Artifact Refining.

At the same time, Wang Bin used Divine Sense transmission to Yang Yuhuan and Li Qianqian:

"The two of you discuss it: who will come to my room to serve me tonight?

If both of you come together, I have no objection. Don't worry, only you can hear this transmission; once you begin Cultivating, you will gradually learn this skill."

With that, Wang Bin left, waving his hand, leaving Yang Yuhuan and Li Qianqian, their faces flushed with shyness.

After a while, Yang Yuhuan and Li Qianqian exchanged glances, then quickly averted their eyes, like two startled little rabbits.

Then they began to ponder how to manage the City Lord's Mansion.

The City Lord's Mansion was so large, and with all these people, there would be no shortage of tasks.

However, one was the Prime Minister's daughter, and the other was a general's daughter; they were both quite familiar with these matters, as they often helped manage affairs at home previously.

Moreover, when they arrived, they brought their personal maids and housekeepers, who had been stopped outside the City Lord's Mansion. Now they could finally let them in to help.

Yang Yuhuan and Li Qianqian also realized that the City Lord was quite fond of Yang Wen Jun and Wang Zhaojun, so they dared not bully these two girls.

Yang Yuhuan and Li Qianqian were now completely preoccupied with their families' affairs and had no mind to think about anything else.

In the evening, Wang Bin waited and waited in his room until the second watch, finally hearing the door creak open, and a figure quietly entered.

Wang Bin didn't use his Divine Sense to look; just by smelling the fragrance, he knew it was Li Qianqian, the Prime Minister's daughter.

Seeing her delicate appearance, dressed in beautiful clothes, with a hint of fear and shyness in her eyes, a surge of impulse rose in Wang Bin's heart; he just wanted to hold her in his arms and cherish her well.

That night, Wang Bin truly felt like an Immortal, a joy that was indescribable.

The next day, the sun was already high in the sky when Wang Bin slowly made his way to the backyard of the City Lord's Mansion.

Qin Wenjun, Li Qianqian, Yang Yuhuan, and Wang Zhaojun were already waiting there.
