Longevity Clan Starts with the Patriarch's Marriage

Because the news of the impending death of the True Martial Realm ancestor of the Daqian Empire was deliberately spread out, the many forces of the Mid Six Province were seeking ways out, with less than fifty years to make their move.

When the Daqian Empire withdrew, although the great war was still raging, the Yinyang Sect, Kurong Sect, Da Jing Dynasty, and the Mysterious Forces did not intervene with their True Martial Realm combatants.

On one hand, some members of the True Martial Realm from these four major forces were trapped in the Sacred Dragon Secret Realm, and on the other hand, they were wary of Chu Dingqian.

Chu Dingqian was close to death, and other True Martial Realm Emperors did not want to provoke his ire, especially since Chu Dingqian was suspected to be in the middle stage of the True Martial Realm, with formidable strength. If he fought to the death, it would be easy for him to drag several True Martial Realm early stage Emperors to die with him.

They preferred to continue waiting, first to swallow up the Outer Twelve States ceded by the Daqian Empire and then slowly scheme for the Mid Six Province.

Chu Dingqian could live for a few more decades at most. Once he died, the Daqian Empire would be left without any True Martial Realm combat ability. Then, the partition of the Mid Six Province would follow suit all the same; a few decades wouldn’t make a difference.

This was the situation that, even though the Daqian Empire still had True Martial Realm combatants, internally the people were panicked and in disarray.

Han Mansion was also aware of these intelligence reports, and in recent days Han Li had noticed concern on the faces of his concubines and descendants, worried whether Han Mansion would be affected and could continue to develop peacefully.

After all, Han Family ancestor Han Li was just a God Refining Realm cultivator. In such a situation, he was practically useless, unable to provide them with sufficient security.

In the past few days, several Great Grandmasters at the Myriad Phenomena Realm had already died, and even Prince Wu’an, who had True Martial Realm combat ability, died in the Sacred Dragon Secret Realm. If the Yinyang Sect invaded, their Immortal Refining Clan would likely be annihilated instantly.

Yun Miaoyi’s small mouth opened slightly, but she couldn’t find the words to speak. Her face was filled with shock; although she had some speculations, she found it unbelievable when she actually learned the truth.

Yun Miaoyi clearly remembered that more than a decade ago, Han Li was just a God Refining Realm cultivator who had exerted a lot of effort to capture her and Jiang Baiye.

Over a decade had passed, and Han Li had improbably advanced from the God Refining Realm, crossing the Hollow Void Stage and Myriad Phenomena Realm to reach the True Martial Realm. This was simply too exaggerated.

What kind of great opportunity had Han Li encountered?

Although her mind was filled with myriad guesses, Yun Miaoyi knew better than to keep asking. Han Li was willing to share this with her, which touched her deeply.

It meant that he truly considered her as his own, as his wife. Otherwise, such confidential information would never be revealed to her.

“Now that you are my wife, you don’t feel wronged, do you?” Han Li chuckled softly in Yun Miaoyi’s ear.

“Hmm,” Yun Miaoyi nodded, accepting Han Li in her heart.

After sharing a tender moment atop the mountain, Han Li brought Yun Miaoyi to the palace area and gathered all his beloved wives and concubines to introduce Yun Miaoyi to them.

Li Mingmeng, Lin Yiyin, Qiu Yueyao, and other beauties were, of course, indifferent; their husband taking another wife was nothing new to them, and they had grown accustomed to it.

Knowing that Yun Miaoyi was still a God Refining Realm cultivator made them even more enthusiastic, affectionately calling her “sister.”

Lu Tianxiang felt a twinge of sourness in her heart, feeling that Han Li, that scoundrel, was marrying at a frighteningly fast pace—it had only been two or three years, and he had taken her and Jiang Baiye, and now he was about to marry Yun Miaoyi.

However, Lu Tianxiang quickly came to terms with it, as Han Li had completely unsealed her powers and informed her that she had reached the True Martial Realm.

Lu Tianxiang was shocked, yet she felt it was somewhat normal. She touched her slightly enlarged belly, and looking at Han Li’s handsome face, she felt that she had really fallen for Han Li.

Compared to when she was first captured by Han Li, her attitude towards him had changed dramatically. Lu Tianxiang sighed inwardly and fully accepted it.

As for Yun Miaoyi’s arrival, Jiang Baiye naturally welcomed her. She felt quite lonely in the Han Mansion, but with Yun Miaoyi there, it would be different.

Jiang Baiye had thought that Yun Miaoyi would be quite reluctant, knowing all too well that she must have been captured by Han Li. Yun Miaoyi would not have willingly offered herself to become Han Li’s wife.

But to her surprise, Yun Miaoyi seemed quite willing. The way she looked at Han Li even carried a hint of affection, a stark contrast to the Devil Princess Jiang Baiye knew.

Jiang Baiye really wanted to know what kind of love potion Han Li had given Yun Miaoyi to make her, the Devil Princess, so devoted to him.

After all, she had been married to Han Li for quite a while now, with a child several months along, and only now was she developing an attitude similar to Yun Miaoyi’s.

“Yun Miaoyi, congratulations,” said Jiang Baiye, a smile gracing her cool face.

“Tch, Han Li really didn’t lie. You’re already pregnant, and by the looks of it, you’ll give birth in another three or four months,” noted Yun Miaoyi.

Upon seeing Jiang Baiye, Yun Miaoyi acted somewhat arrogantly, perhaps out of habit from their previous rivalry.

“You won’t be far behind,” Jiang Baiye retorted coldly, Yun Miaoyi was indeed the same as before.

“Who knows, maybe my child will have better innate talent than yours,” said Yun Miaoyi, sticking out her tongue and licking her red lips provocatively.

Jiang Baiye was at a loss for words, the Devil Princess was speaking such wild, bold words.

You haven’t even married yet, and you’re already thinking about bearing children for that bastard Han Li. What kind of love potion has Han Li fed you?

Two days later, the Han Family patriarch held a grand wedding on an auspicious day, officially marrying Yun Miaoyi.

Although Han Li had arranged a lavish ceremony, not many powers attended; only kinship forces sent representatives. Other forces did not participate.

Han Li naturally knew why. Normally, everyone would show his Immortal Refining Clan patriarch respect, but now with the political situation in turmoil and the Daqian Empire on the brink of collapse, every power was busy preparing for their future. Who had the time to attend the old patriarch’s wedding?

While the patriarch understood, he still took note of the absence of those powers in his little book.

This was his grand wedding to Yun Miaoyi. Despite the same grandeur, it was far less lively than the previous two times. Han Li worried that Yun Miaoyi would be unhappy about it.

Luckily, Yun Miaoyi was very understanding and rational, saying they should not care about those things as long as Han Li treated her well in the future.

After the grand wedding concluded, the Han Family patriarch entered the bridal chamber meticulously prepared for the Devil Princess Yun Miaoyi, his mood a mix of excitement. He was finally about to taste the flavor of the Devil Princess.
