WTF, The Centuries-Old Ancestor In Our Family Take Concubine Again!

Chapter 2 - The Patriarch Takes Another Concubine!

However, spiritual roots were extremely rare and mysterious. Even immortals could not significantly enhance their spiritual roots or understand the rules governing their birth. Currently, Li Su only had one descendant with spiritual roots, and it was no easy task to have a descendant with such rare qualities by mating with an ordinary woman.

However, now that Li Su had reached the Foundation Establishment stage, even at a hundred years old, the probability of giving birth to a descendant with spiritual roots was higher when mating with an ordinary woman. Additionally, Li Su’s strength and status were favorable since he had successfully established his foundation. He might be able to marry a Qi Refining Cultivator stage “immortal.” If that wasn’t possible, Li Su could continue to take ordinary concubines, and the difficulty would be lower. By taking more concubines, he could accelerate the pace of childbirth and increase the chances of having descendants with spiritual roots.

As the Li family continued to expand, Li Su’s family experienced a constant increase in size. While the subsequent generations had diminished the increase in lifespan and cultivation strength to him, this decrease could not be reduced to zero. Consequently, Li Su remained confident in him to reach the Golden Core stage at a faster pace.

Meanwhile, the congratulations from his descendants continued to pour in. With Li Su’s advancing cultivation level, the influence of the Li family in the secular world continued to grow. The descendants of the Li family were well aware that their current status and wealth were owed to Li Su. If Li Su showed particular favor towards a descendant, this one’s status would greatly improve. Consequently, they all cleverly sent generous gifts to please Li Su.

After the descendants had finished congratulating and presenting their gifts, it was time for the guests to do the same.

Suddenly, a voice called out, “The National Teacher of Wu presents a red jade bracelet.”

The guests erupted in excitement. The National Teacher was also an “immortal” who held considerable authority in the secular world.

Li Su soon received the exquisite red jade bracelet. It was a splendid gift that could nourish the body when worn on the hand. He couldn’t help but think of a person who always wore a cold expression. In the past, that person had been his “senior,” but now that Li Su had reached the foundation-building stage, the difference in their status was not significant.

Shortly after, dignitaries from the Wu Kingdom, where the Li family resided, sent their congratulations and gifts, with some even visiting in person. The entire estate became filled with liveliness and excitement. Following the dignitaries were wealthy merchants who had business dealings with the Li family, and many of them brought their daughters along.

“Is that the Li family patriarch?” Some of the girls glanced at Li Su from a distance and found themselves immediately captivated. There were numerous rumors about the Li family patriarch in the Wu Kingdom. It was widely known that Li Su had a penchant for taking concubines, especially in recent decades when he had taken in a particularly large number.

However, the rumors also spoke of how well the Li family patriarch treated his women. Although some of the girls had heard that the Li family patriarch was remarkably young, they found it hard to believe that a hundred-year-old person could look even younger than a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy. Coupled with Li Su’s handsome appearance, some of the girls who were brought by their parents and initially held reservations suddenly found their resistance weakening.

A Li family patriarch like him seemed like a favorable prospect, even as a lover.

“Patriarch, this is my daughter Xiaoyue. Xiaoyue has always admired you, Patriarch,” said the wealthy merchant, seizing the opportunity at the lively banquet to introduce his daughter to Li Su. Beside him stood a beautiful and graceful girl, her head lowered shyly.

The allure of being close to Li Su was undeniably captivating for these young women.

“Is the Patriarch taking in concubines again?”

And so, on the second day of the celebration, the Li family was busy. Li Su was preparing to take on several concubines at once. The descendants of Li Su had grown accustomed to this, and no one dared to voice any objections. Instead, they began making preparations for the event.

Although it was merely the addition of concubines, the standards of the Li family exceeded those of many wealthy families when it came to marrying wives. At the very least, a grand sedan was the basic requirement. Moreover, a grand wedding procession with drums and gongs was also expected, creating a spectacle for all to witness.

“It’s the Li family. It appears that the Li family’s patriarch is taking on concubines once again.”

“I envy the Li family’s patriarch. Despite being 100 years old, he can still marry so many beautiful young girls. I heard that even the Pearl of Lingshui City is marrying him this time.”

“So what if he’s 100 years old? He’s immortal. Being able to marry an immortal is a blessing that can’t be earned in eight lifetimes.”

“…”

As the Li family’s wedding procession made its way, it attracted a great deal of attention, and people couldn’t help but discuss it.

On that night, Li Su lifted the red veil and beheld the face of the young girl, whose beauty rivaled that of a flower. Other than “immortals,” no one remained forever 18 years old, but there would always be 18-year-old girls.

With a flick of Li Su’s finger, the candles were extinguished.

It was going to be another romantic night!
