Longevity Clan Starts with the Patriarch's Marriage

“Huff~”

Watching the sunset dyeing the sky, Han Li let out a long sigh and vanished from sight.

In Chengdao Peak, there was a hot spring that remained at a comfortable temperature throughout all four seasons and exuded a faint fragrant scent, hence it was named Xianghai Hot Spring. Lu Tianxiang, Jiang Baiye, Yun Miaoyi, and Gongsun Yue were soaking in it.

The four ladies were idly chatting, wondering when their husband Han Li would return from the Capital City of the Da Qian to Chengsheng Mountain. Only the four wives knew that Li Feiyu was in fact Han Li, and they were also aware of Han Li’s plans, though they said nothing of it.

“That scoundrel is likely taking concubines in The Li Manor. He’s probably so pleased with himself that he’ll forget all about us and take a long time to return,” Lu Tianxiang said with a sigh.

“Didn’t junior brother say he’d be back soon?” Gongsun Yue asked innocently.

Heh~” Jiang Baiye let out a cold laugh, shook her head dismissively, and said, “You’re too naive.”

Gongsun Yue tilted her head, looking towards Yun Miaoyi, and asked, “Yun Yun, do you think so too?”

Yun Miaoyi shook her head then nodded, smiling as she said, “Being innocent and pure is a good thing. Actually, I agree with you. Our husband might have even come back by now and is watching us from the mountain peak.”

“Tsk tsk, using ‘husband’ so affectionately. When did you, little devil witch, become so clingy?” Jiang Baiye teased.

“As if you haven’t called him ‘husband’ just the same.”

Yun Miaoyi stretched out her delicate, fair fingers, pinched Jiang Baiye’s tender fair skin, and then drew her into an embrace, playfully teasing her.

“Husband~”

Just then, Han Li’s figure appeared at the Xianghai Hot Spring, sitting between Lu Tianxiang and Gongsun Yue. Gongsun Yue was thrilled to find Han Li had returned and sweetly called out.

Han Li swept Gongsun Yue into his arms, lowered his head, and rubbed his cheek against her delicate face, gingerly moving aside the purple hair by her ear, and then he whispered softly by her slightly flushed ear:

“Yue’er is so good.”

A wide smile immediately spread across Gongsun Yue’s pretty face, her bright eyes filled with tender affection for Han Li. She could see the genuine concern in Han Li’s heart.

She liked this side of Han Li.

After being affectionate with Gongsun Yue for a while, Han Li turned to look at the other three. Jiang Baiye and Yun Miaoyi stopped their playful banter, joining Lu Tianxiang as they called out:

“Husband~”

“Xiang Xiang, Jiang Jiang, you two were just badmouthing me, I heard it,” Han Li said with a smile.

“Hmph~” Lu Tianxiang snorted softly, “So what if you heard? Isn’t what I said the truth?”

“Sister Xiang is right,” Jiang Baiye chimed in, quickly moving next to Lu Tianxiang.

Looking at Jiang Baiye and Lu Tianxiang in the hot spring, Han Li felt a warmth in his heart. He moved closer, but he didn’t do anything too over-the-top.

Eventually, Han Li shared the events that had transpired in the Capital City of Da Qian as well as his plans with the four ladies, and their faces immediately lit up with joy.

Their husband had actually garnered so many benefits from Da Qian: Heaven Rank cultivation techniques, martial techniques, magical treasures, top-grade spirit stones, third-grade spirit pills…

Seeing the Spatial Bracelet that Han Li produced, Lu Tianxiang, Jiang Baiye, Yun Miaoyi, and Gongsun Yue used their spiritual sense to inspect its contents, leaving them stunned.

Although they were not without their own impressive experiences, they couldn’t help but be overwhelmed by the assets equivalent to a quarter of a top-tier power’s foundation, their hearts thumping wildly as they cried out in astonishment.

“Heaven Rank artifacts, cultivation techniques and martial skills, spirit pills and spirit stones, and so on; you can choose whatever you like. I will send some to Yaoyue and Mingmeng later as well. The remaining items we’ll store in the treasure vault to develop Han Mansion,” Han Li said.

Lu Tianxiang and Yun Miaoyi didn’t hesitate to choose, while Jiang Baiye and Gongsun Yue briefly hesitated before also agreeing.

Afterward, Han Li left the Xianghai Hot Springs and gathered all his beauties, informing them of several pieces of good news and shared with them some arrangements.

However, Han Li did not disclose the matter about the Spatial Bracelet. Beauties like Liu Yuexin and Lin Yiwu were unaware of his true power, not knowing his other identity was Li Feiyu. For the time being, Han Li didn’t plan to enlighten them.

Having done this, Han Li allowed the beauties who wanted to cultivate to leave and then played multiplayer games with the others.

Leaving Chengsheng Mountain, Han Li felt refreshed, and it didn’t take long for him to return to Li Mansion.

The Manor Lord Han clearly remembered that there was a beauty in Li Mansion waiting for his favor.

Within the bedchamber, Han Li’s figure appeared, and he found someone bathing behind the gauze curtain, the air filled with a fragrant, subtle scent.

From his position, Han Li could see Die Yi behind the gauze, occasionally lifting her delicate arms in the bath, offering limitless temptation.

Licking his lips, Han Li noticed Die Yi was indeed very considerate, bathing in fragrance, waiting for his arrival.

“Die Yi, I’m back,” he said.

With those words, he walked in, and behind the curtain, the water splashed sporadically, accompanied by some peculiar sounds.

The next day, Han Li instructed the butler, Zhong Shan, to make preparations for a concubine-acceptance wedding banquet to be held in three days.

Zhong Shan naturally agreed without hesitation, vowing to ensure the Manor Lord would be satisfied, and started bustling about that very day, spreading the news.

In the following days, Han Li spent half of each day at Li Mansion, keeping company with Die Yi, diligently tilling the fertile soil, and spent the rest of his time in Han Mansion, enjoying life.

Sometimes he’d seek out Lu Tianxiang, Yun Miaoyi, and Gongsun Yue; other times, he would be with the enchantresses Fang Yousi and Bi Xinlei, and sometimes he played with both the Zhou and Chu triplets…

During this time, Han Li also received another piece of news: Emperor Qian intended to send four princesses to become his concubines, and Han Li gladly agreed.

Three days flew by, and a grand wedding banquet was held in the Capital City of the Daqian Empire. Various factions from the Capital City, as well as nobles and even Emperor Qian himself, attended, along with representatives from Yuanzhou and forces from the Hollow Void Stage and Myriad Phenomena Realm of the entire Daqian Empire.

It was an event of tremendous scale, and those unaware might have thought a major event was taking place.

Those in the know understood that this was Li Feiyu’s, the Manor Lord of the Li Mansion, first time taking concubines. He was the True Martial Realm Emperor Wu, the stabilizing presence for Daqian in the next four centuries, the cornerstone of the entire Qian Dynasty.

Therefore, powers from all sides and various mighty individuals showed great face, eagerly participating in this grand concubine-acceptance ceremony.

The protagonists of this ceremony were six individuals: the male lead was the Manor Lord Han, and the female leads were the four princesses and Die Yi, the Head of Maids at Li Mansion.

Many cultivators in attendance secretly marveled at how the Qian Dynasty, in order to strengthen relations with the Manor Lord Han, had no qualms about pride, sending forth four princesses directly.

While these princesses were not daughters of Emperor Qian, they were his sisters and daughters of the previous emperor, each one exceptionally beautiful and with excellent talent.

Han Li had viewed the information of the four princesses in advance; they all possessed Third Grade talent, with similar cultivation levels, still in the Gangyuan Realm, and were later descendants of Emperor Chu Wuji. They were quite young and had only ordinary relations with Emperor Qian.

It must be said that the Da Qian Royalty had excellent genes, as all four princesses were extremely beautiful, each with a near-ninety rating. Although they were not quadruplets, they bore a semblance of resemblance to one another.

The character and temperament of the four princesses varied: one was innocent and lovable, another cold and majestic, the third mature and charming, and the fourth naive and cute, all of which greatly pleased Han Li.

After the grand wedding banquet concluded, Han Li entered the first bridal chamber, savoring the presence of the innocent and lovable princess. After tilling the fields for half an hour, he proceeded to the other matrimonial rooms, tasting each in turn, with Die Yi being the last.
