Chapter 164 Concubine Dieyi, Send Some Princesses To Li Feiyu
Chapter 164: Concubine Butterfly Clothes, Sending a Few Princesses to Li Feiyu
"Thank you very much, Chu Daoist," Han Li said with a slight bow, politely.
Chu Dingqian informed Li Feiyu of the location of the Li Residence and then disappeared. He was going back to the imperial palace to cultivate the demonic fetus and now it was up to Li Feiyu.
Han Li took a deep look at the imperial palace, with an inexplicable gleam in his eyes. Was Chu Dingqian really Chu Zhenxiong, the second generation? If everything was true, then Chu Dingqian's hasty departure was to prepare for reincarnation?
Han Li really wanted to investigate and uncover Chu Zhenxiong's secrets, but he resisted. He knew he couldn't have such curiosity. Curiosity not only killed the cat, but also killed people. No matter what Chu Zhenxiong was thinking, if there really was a third generation and they came looking for trouble, he could easily crush them with a flick of his hand. After three to four hundred years, Han Li's cultivation had reached a very high level. It would be a piece of cake to crush a True Martial Realm Martial King.
Withdrawing his gaze, Han Li's figure disappeared into the sky and reappeared above the Li Residence in the next instant.
The Great Qian Capital was divided into two cities by a long street running east to west. The southern city was the commoner district, while the northern city was the noble district. The central part of the northern city was the imperial palace, and to the east were the mansions of the nobles.
The Li Residence was located in the northeast of the capital, in the best location in this district. It was situated in the center of the district and used to be the residence of the Martial Peace Prince, but now it belonged to Han Li.
This residence was grand and majestic, with a vast area. It was roughly divided into three sections, with numerous halls and pavilions inside. It had everything, from curved eaves and multiple layers of brackets, to painted ceilings and carved steps, red doors and windows, forming this magnificent residence.
"This residence is really not small," Han Li remarked in surprise. Chu Zhenxiong had put a lot of effort into this.
Just a single Li Residence occupied one-twentieth of the northeast district, and one must remember that the Great Qian Capital was a huge city that housed over a billion people.
"It's just a bit too quiet," Han Li sighed softly. It seemed that he needed to quickly marry and take concubines with this identity, otherwise living here would be too lonely.
The Li Residence had a large number of servants, including various maids and guards. The maids were responsible for daily life and taking care of the master, while the guards were responsible for the security of the Li Residence.
Although Li Feiyu didn't need them, Chu Zhenxiong still arranged a large number of cultivators with decent cultivation levels to serve as guards. The leader of the guards was at the Empty Void Realm, and there were also many Soul Refining Realm and Vital Spirit Realm cultivators.
Han Li planned to use them temporarily. He couldn't handle many things on his own, such as hosting a grand wedding banquet, which required many people to manage.
Entering the Li Residence, Han Li's spiritual sense fluctuated slightly, summoning the stewards, managers, and guard leaders of the Li Residence to come and pay their respects.
He sat in the main hall of the Li Residence and waited quietly for a while. The stewards, managers, and leaders all arrived, bowing their heads respectfully.
Seeing them hesitate to speak, Han Li said lightly, "From now on, you can call me Old Ancestor."
"We pay our respects to Old Ancestor!" In the main hall, a large group of people bowed and respectfully greeted him, not daring to show any negligence.
Before coming, they had been instructed that this Li Residence was prepared for a Martial King at the True Martial Realm, and they would move in a few days later. From now on, they would serve the master of the Li Residence.
Han Li's majestic figure had already left a deep impression in their minds, and his domineering words were even more deafening. They all knew that he was a true Martial King at the True Martial Realm.
The future of the Great Qian Dynasty for the next four hundred years would rely on the protection of the master of the Li Residence. They could offend the Old Ancestor of the Great Qian Dynasty, but they absolutely couldn't offend the master of the Li Residence.
If they could win the favor of the master of the Li Residence, receive his profound techniques, resources, and even become his disciples, it would be like ascending to heaven.
Everyone knew that the true support of the Great Qian Dynasty was not the aging Zhenxiong Old Ancestor, but the master of the Li Residence.
Han Li raised his right hand slightly, causing everyone to involuntarily straighten their bodies, but they still kept their heads lowered, listening to the words of the master of the Li Residence.
"Introduce yourselves," he said.
"Yes."
Soon, the people in the main hall quickly introduced themselves one by one, and Han Li only remembered three of them.
The steward of the Li Residence was named Zhongshan, at the peak of the Soul Refining Realm, 368 years old. He looked honest and simple, and was obedient and low-key. The leader of the guards was named Feng Busui, at the early stage of the Empty Void Realm, 485 years old. He was a rough and burly man, but had a meticulous side and was quite cautious.
It was the maid manager named Dieyi who caught Han Li's attention. She was at the early stage of the Soul Refining realm, with a fifth-grade aptitude. At the age of 154, she had a hopeful future of advancing to the Myriad Manifestations Realm.
Han Li paid attention to her not because of her cultivation, aptitude, or potential, but mainly because of her beautiful appearance. With bright eyes, white teeth, and a gentle temperament, she was still a virgin, which made Han Li somewhat tempted.
"Chu Zhenxiong is really considerate," Han Li muttered to himself.
When he made conditions to Chu Zhenxiong, the fifth one was about the need for beautiful female cultivators from time to time due to his cultivation technique. Chu Zhenxiong readily agreed.
Before Han Li even took action, Chu Zhenxiong had already arranged a beautiful female cultivator to come over. This was really thoughtful, and it would be even better if she had a fourth-grade aptitude.
"Dieyi, stay," Han Li waved his hand, and Zhongshan, Feng Busui, and others all retreated, leaving only Dieyi behind.
Being scrutinized by a powerful True Martial realm Martial King, she felt somewhat uneasy. Although she had been informed of some situations when she was arranged to enter the Li Residence, Dieyi still felt nervous.
Han Li came to her side, lifted her chin with one hand, and said lightly, "Raise your head."
Dieyi couldn't help but raise her head, her bright eyes looking at the refined middle-aged man in front of her, feeling even more nervous.
Suddenly, two divine lights shot out from Han Li's eyes and entered her eyes, quickly reaching her sea of consciousness.
After exploring for a while, the two divine lights turned into divine swords and slashed at the prohibition deep in Dieyi's divine soul. With two "pu chi" sounds, the divine soul prohibition was erased by Han Li.
"As expected," Han Li shook his head slightly.
Chu Zhenxiong arranged for Dieyi to come in and monitor him, wanting to be able to grasp his every move at any time. But how could Han Li not know about this little trick? He had no intention of causing trouble for Chu Zhenxiong. It was normal for Chu Zhenxiong to be distrustful of him. Han Li didn't care about other people, but he had to deal with Dieyi.
Otherwise, if he took Dieyi as his concubine, he would have to be constantly on guard against the person beside him, which would be too exhausting.
Dieyi closed her eyes, sweat beads appearing on her forehead. She was afraid. Would this Senior Li kill her?
She naturally knew about the prohibition in her divine soul, but Dieyi had no way to resist. She had to obey, otherwise, she would be worse off than dead. Now that her identity was exposed, she was afraid she couldn't escape death.
Dieyi didn't intend to resist either. In front of a True Martial realm Martial King, her initial stage of the Soul Refining realm was too weak. Even if she stood there and let him attack, she couldn't defend herself.
"Open your eyes," Han Li said, pinching Dieyi's delicate and smooth chin.
Dieyi slowly opened her eyes, her pair of bright eyes cautiously looking at the Li Residence's owner who was close at hand. She heard his indifferent words:
"From now on, you will be the maid manager of the Li Residence and my concubine. Do you understand?"
Dieyi breathed a sigh of relief and quickly said, "I understand."
She didn't mind being the concubine of the owner of the Li Residence. Without the restriction of the divine soul prohibition, she also leaned towards the owner of the Li Residence in her heart and planned to be obedient.
The Great Qian Imperial Family sent her to the Li Residence with the intention of making her the owner's concubine. She knew that, but she had no choice.
Now she didn't have to work for the Great Qian Dynasty anymore. She just needed to be the owner's concubine. With the owner of the Li Residence by her side, no one in the Great Qian Dynasty could do anything to her.
For Dieyi, this was the best outcome. Otherwise, if something happened in the future, she would probably be slapped to death by the owner of the Li Residence.
"I like your gentle and obedient nature," Han Li's face showed a faint smile.
He accepted Chu Zhenxiong's good intentions, but he didn't need to know about other thoughts. There was no need to do anything to Dieyi as long as she wasn't foolish and knew how to choose.
"I'm glad that my husband likes it," Dieyi changed her address directly.
Han Li hugged her in his arms, feeling her soft and tender body. Looking at the hint of panic and hidden tenderness in her eyes, Han Li couldn't help but lower his head and gently kissed her soft and tender lips.
Dieyi's pretty face instantly blushed, and her jade-like hands unconsciously embraced Han Li's waist. The fragrance on her body surrounded Han Li, and her exquisite and beautiful appearance fascinated him.
After a long time, Han Li let her go and said, "Get ready, accompany me to bed tonight."
As soon as he finished speaking, Han Li's figure disappeared in the Li Residence, leaving Dieyi standing quietly in place.
She gently bit her lips that had just been tasted by Han Li, a shy and charming blush appearing on her face, particularly alluring, but no one saw it.
Thinking about Han Li's words just now, a blush appeared on Dieyi's face again, and she murmured to herself, "Husband~"
Sighing, she decided to dress up nicely and serve Han Li well tonight. Her future life was now tied to the master of the Li Mansion.
When Dieyi's soul was no longer suppressed, the gray-robed old man in the forbidden palace immediately sensed it. He sighed and continued to close his eyes.
This was just one of his little tricks. It would be best if he could deceive Li Feiyu, but he wouldn't be disappointed if he couldn't. Li Feiyu was not easily fooled.
Most of Chu Dingqian's energy was now focused on cultivating new demon embryos. The fate of the Great Qian Dynasty was now in the hands of Li Feiyu. If things didn't work out, he had no choice but to leave early.
"I hope you don't disappoint me."
Thinking that the Jiao Saint's secret realm would appear in less than two years, Chu Dingqian muttered softly.
If Li Feiyu couldn't stop those True Martial Realm Martial Kings, he would have to leave the Great Qian Dynasty and resort to the final plan.
Of course, before that, he needed to assassinate Li Feiyu and take back everything he had given him.
On the other hand, in the Great Qian Palace, the Emperor Qian was discussing matters with a group of important officials.
After Li Feiyu appeared, Emperor Qian urgently summoned his officials to discuss how to please this True Martial Realm powerhouse.
Within fifty years, the Zhenxiong Patriarch was still alive, but afterwards, the Great Qian Dynasty would rely solely on Li Feiyu.
If they didn't handle the relationship between the two sides well, they would have a hard time. The Great Qian Dynasty would also be unable to balance Li Feiyu.
"The Zhenxiong Patriarch revealed some information. It seems that Li Feiyu is suspected of practicing the replenishment technique. From now on, he will marry many concubines. Let's start from this aspect and see how we can stabilize him."
Emperor Qian looked at the national teacher, the grand preceptor, the left prime minister, and other important officials in the hall, and spoke.
He originally wanted to say that this would please Li Feiyu, but he changed his words when he remembered that he was Emperor Qian.
The officials in the Hall of Heavenly Ascension immediately showed surprise when they heard this. If Li Feiyu practiced the replenishment technique, he was likely a member of the demonic path.
No one knew Li Feiyu's true identity or origin, but they speculated that he was most likely a True Martial Realm powerhouse from the demonic domain, with a small probability of being a True Martial Realm powerhouse from another domain.
The replenishment technique was hated by the righteous path, but many cultivators secretly practiced it, capturing female cultivators in secret as furnaces.
If Li Feiyu belonged to the latter category, then he was a hypocritical True Martial Realm Martial King, doing these things in the Great Qian Dynasty where he couldn't do them in other domains, and no one could find out his true identity.
"Since he has this preference, it's easier to handle. There are countless beautiful female cultivators in the Great Qian Dynasty. Send him three to five every year to be his concubines. I think it should be enough to stabilize this True Martial Realm powerhouse." The national teacher said calmly.
The grand preceptor nodded and said, "That's right. The Zhenxiong Patriarch has already discussed the conditions with him and has given everything to Li Feiyu. Satisfying Li Feiyu's request should be an additional condition."
"No, this is part of the alliance agreement." Emperor Qian smiled bitterly and shook his head.
The Zhenxiong Patriarch revealed the alliance agreement to Emperor Qian, and after Emperor Qian learned about it, he fell silent. He had paid a heavy price, but it was worth it. It could extend the life of the Great Qian Dynasty by four hundred years.
With a True Martial Realm powerhouse sitting in the Great Qian Dynasty, there was still hope. Although the fifth condition in the alliance agreement made him somewhat unhappy and worried about certain unfavorable situations, Emperor Qian had no choice. This was agreed upon by the Zhenxiong Patriarch.
The chief censor, the chief secretary, the left prime minister, and others fell silent when they heard this. They also thought of the worst-case scenarios. They either had beautiful female cultivators as concubines, or their daughters were beautiful female cultivators.
"The worst-case scenario shouldn't happen. The Zhenxiong Patriarch is still alive, and there is an alliance agreement to restrain Li Feiyu. He shouldn't act recklessly." The national teacher pondered and said.
Everyone nodded, agreeing with the national teacher's words. However, they couldn't guarantee whether Li Feiyu would act recklessly after the Zhenxiong Patriarch died. They could only wait and see.
"Your Majesty, I believe we can start by sending a princess to Li Feiyu, preferably to become his legal wife. This will show the Great Qian Dynasty's value and help improve the relationship between the two sides."
The last pillar of the country thought for a moment and cautiously spoke.
"Hmm?" Emperor Qian's pupils contracted slightly, feeling somewhat dissatisfied.
It's only the first day, and you want me to send my daughter over as a furnace? Are you kidding me?
Are you going to focus on my concubines, wives, and even my empress in a few days? Will you send them away in a few years?
Emperor Qian really wanted to say that he could send your wives, daughters, and female disciples first, and then the royal family. However, seeing the national teacher, the grand preceptor, and other important officials nodding in agreement, he ultimately didn't say it.
Emperor Qian sighed and remained silent.
"Perhaps Your Majesty could choose a palace maid and grant her the title of princess before sending her over?" the Prime Minister suggested after some thought.
Without a princess, it would be difficult to convey the level of importance. However, Emperor Qian clearly did not want to easily give away his own daughter, so he could only offer a suggestion.
However, the Prime Minister also knew that this would be difficult to implement. It would be easily noticed by the owner of the Li Mansion, and their relationship might worsen as a result.
"Not possible!"
The Imperial Tutor, Grand Preceptor, and Chief Supervisor all spoke up to stop the idea. Such an action would definitely offend the owner of the Li Mansion, and they would all suffer as a result.
Upon hearing this, Emperor Qian had a sudden inspiration. He wanted to send a princess, but not his own daughter. It seemed feasible to find someone who could pass off as a princess.
After all, he had thousands of siblings, hundreds of whom were sisters. They were all beautiful, and while some had already married, there were still some who remained unmarried.
They were the daughters of the late Emperor Chu Wuji, also known as princesses, or rather, senior princesses. Emperor Qian felt it was close enough, as they were all princesses.
"What do you all think of sending a few senior princesses?" Emperor Qian proposed.
As soon as Emperor Qian spoke, he suggested sending a few. After all, they were not his daughters, but his sisters. Between his daughters and sisters, Emperor Qian chose to send the latter.
Of course, Emperor Qian thought it would be better to send those who had a more distant relationship with him first. If the owner of the Li Mansion still needed more, then they could consider sending those who were closer.
"It's feasible."
"A brilliant plan, Your Majesty."
"Your Majesty is wise."
The several important ministers hesitated for a moment, then immediately praised Emperor Qian.
Since the late Emperor had passed away, his daughters no longer had any backing. Only those who were close to Emperor Qian still had power. Sending a few of them would not be a problem; it was all for the sake of Daqian.
"That's how we'll do it."
"Make a list and select three or four princesses. In a few days, we will hold a grand wedding and send them all to the Li Mansion."
Emperor Qian nodded. This way, it would be beneficial for everyone.
Those princesses had no power or influence. If they were to marry into the Li Mansion, they might be favored by the owner of the mansion, or they might not. Either way, they would have found a suitable husband, and their future would be smooth.
Emperor Qian sighed inwardly and left the Hall of Heavenly Affairs.
The Imperial Tutor, Grand Preceptor, Prime Minister, and others exchanged glances and left with heavy hearts.
They only hoped that Li Feiyu's cultivation in the "Cai Bu" technique was of a higher level. If that were the case, he wouldn't need to collect a large number of female cultivators. They could survive the next four hundred years. Otherwise, they would have to pay a price as well.
Chengsheng Mountain, Chengdao Peak.
Han Li's figure appeared at the top of the mountain, taking a breath of spiritual energy and feeling refreshed.
From today onwards, his strength would enter the fast lane. He could marry and have concubines in the Li Mansion, and breed offspring like crazy.
Compared to the Han Mansion, the Li Mansion had a significant advantage. They didn't need to be as low-key as the Han Mansion, nor did they need to worry about insufficient cultivation resources. If they were lacking, they could just ask the Daqian Dynasty for more.
The Han Mansion was in Yongchang Prefecture, while the Li Mansion was in the capital of Yuanzhou Prefecture. There was a distance of about 1.5 million miles between them, but it was nothing for Han Li.
His speed was extremely fast now. He could move 390,000 miles in a single breath, and with four breaths, he could make a round trip. It was safe to say that it was very fast.
When he advanced to the True Martial Realm, his speed would increase significantly. By then, he would probably only need two breaths to make a round trip between the two mansions.
It was precisely because of this speed that Han Li dared to establish the Li Mansion in the capital. With his strength, he could quickly travel back and forth, and it would be almost impossible for outsiders to discover that Li Feiyu was Han Li.
Whether the Li Mansion or the Han Mansion encountered any difficulties, he could provide support quickly and arrive in no time.
He planned to set up a True Martial Realm grand formation in both mansions. Although he didn't have one himself, the Daqian Dynasty did. He would borrow a few third-grade formations to improve the security of both mansions.
Although there would be many wives and concubines in both mansions in the future, Han Li would be able to take care of them all. He could appear in the other mansion in a very short time and accompany his other wives and concubines.
When his strength increased in the future, Han Li also planned to merge the two mansions. However, he could also choose not to merge them and decide based on the situation at that time.
