Longevity Clan Starts with the Patriarch's Marriage

Upon hearing these words, Han Li’s smile deepened, and he couldn’t help but think of lowering his head to capture Long Yue’s soft pink lips.

But he didn’t succeed, as he was blocked by Long Yue’s jade hand.

With a smile that was not quite a smile, Long Yue looked at Han Li and said lightly, “Wait a moment.”

“I was too impatient,” Han Li said with a smile and then took out the Oath Stone.

Next, Han Li swore an oath with the Oath Stone, encompassing all the promises he had previously made and adding some details.

After the oath was completed, Han Li put away the Oath Stone, and Long Yue was stunned for a moment, feeling an unusual sensation in her heart. She withdrew her hand that was in mid-air and asked,

“You don’t need me to swear an oath?”

Although Han Li’s words were sweet, she didn’t really believe them. Without swearing an oath on the Oath Stone, everything was just an empty promise that could be retracted at any time, leaving her with no security whatsoever.

Having lived for tens of thousands of years in her previous life, growing from weakness to strength, transforming from a snake to a dragon, Long Yue faced tough challenges and countless life-and-death situations, and she had seen too much deceit and treachery.

Despite the sweetness of Han Li’s previous words, whether they could be fulfilled was a question, and Long Yue dared not take that gamble. She had seen and known too many female cultivators who had failed in such gambles and ended up in wretched circumstances.

Now that Han Li had taken an oath with the Oath Stone and even added many details, Long Yue felt very satisfied; her future was secured, and Han Li would not bear such a great cost just to deceive her.

Long Yue had been ready to swear an oath herself, and since Han Li kept his word, she wouldn’t go back on hers. A proud Dragon Saint would not do such a thing, but she hadn’t expected Han Li not even to give her the chance to swear.

Did Han Li trust her so much? Was he not afraid that she might have some tricks up her sleeve in the future?

Long Yue was touched by Han Li’s action. It felt like trust. Han Li indeed had sincere intentions in taking her as his wife.

“There’s no need,” Han Li replied, shaking his head slightly.

After a pause, Han Li lowered his head again, and this time Long Yue did not stop him, letting him claim her soft pink lips.

After a long while, when two blushes appeared on Long Yue’s exquisite face, Han Li finally released her and said softly, “I trust you.”

Han Li believed that Long Yue would not do anything to upset him and also believed in his ability to win her over completely. Seeing his practical actions, she would naturally gradually fall in love with him and fill her heart with him, just like Lu Tianxiang, Jiang Baiye, Yun Miaoyi, and other women before.

Han Li never indulged in hollow talk. He always did as he said. He didn’t need to deceive to gain their affection and bodies; that was too petty.

“Perhaps I understand now why Bai Keqing followed you so devotedly.”

Looking up at Han Li’s handsome face, Long Yue sighed softly.

When she was captured the day before, she had seen Bai Keqing, the female Demon King, and had learned her name in the morning. She had been wondering why the female Demon King was so submissive to Han Li.

Judging by Han Li’s actions, even the beautiful female cultivators like Bai Keqing would eventually be moved by him, no matter how unwilling they were at first—who could resist when Han Li was so generous?

Even she herself had changed her attitude under his relentless pursuit, agreeing to become his Dao companion. Han Li’s attention to detail had touched her heart, filling it with subtle emotions.

If it continued like this, and Han Li truly fulfilled all his promises, she knew that she, the Dragon Saint, would be ensnared, her heart firmly tied to Han Li.

“You will too,” Han Li said, his lips curving into a slight smile.

“I’m not as easily fooled as they are. If you want to conquer me, mere physical bravery won’t be enough,” Long Yue said with pride on her beautiful face.

Although Han Li’s prowess in battle was exhilarating for her body, Long Yue would not easily submit; she had the pride of a Dragon Saint.

Han Li laughed softly, said nothing, and embraced Long Yue, then spread out her tender arms and placed the Mutton Fat Jade Vial into her smooth and bonelessly soft hands.

Long Yue’s delicate body trembled once more, waves of shock rippled through her heart, and she lifted her head to look back at Han Li’s face, her hands tightly clutching the Mutton Fat Jade Vial, at a loss for words.

She had to admit, she was moved again, with much of her heart conquered by Han Li.

Which beautiful female cultivator could withstand such a test?

In her previous life, no matter how formidable she was, she was now but an Emperor Wu in the True Martial Realm. Yet, Han Li had directly handed her a Divine Rank Supreme Grade Immortal Cultivating Pill.

For any beautiful female cultivator from the Tongxuan Realm who came forward, they would probably also fall, willingly becoming Han Li’s Dao companion.

The allure of the Immortal Cultivating Pill was too strong, increasing the chance of breaking through to the Saint Abyss Realm by more than fifty percent. As long as one wasn’t incredibly unlucky, they could almost certainly advance to become a Saint of the Saint Abyss Realm.

For a beautiful Tongxuan Realm cultivator, this was the best gift. Being someone else’s Dao companion wasn’t a problem; if they were willing to give you an Immortal Cultivating Pill to help you become a Saint, their sincerity and true heart were evident.

In her past life, if a Saint from the Saint Abyss Realm had been willing to give her an Immortal Cultivating Pill, Long Yue would have been tempted, having searched in vain for one for ten thousand years.

But in the Ancient Era, Immortal Cultivating Pills were extremely rare, mostly out of reach for Saints of the Saint Abyss Realm and mainly in the hands of those in the Heaven Imperial Realm and Heavenly Immortals.

“Take it, and keep it,” Han Li whispered in her ear, and he unsealed some of her cultivation, allowing Long Yue to recover to the Myriad Phenomena Realm.

To Han Li, exchanging a mere Immortal Cultivating Pill for the true heart of a Dragon girl was a very worthwhile deal. He would be able to obtain more in the future; one pill was not a big deal to him.
