Lingjun City.

With the news released by the old ancestor of the Han Family that he was to welcome two fairies as concubines, the entire city became bustling with excitement.

This was less than two years since the old ancestor had last taken concubines.

The citizens of Lingjun City were accustomed to this; whenever the old ancestor of the Han Family took new concubines, the Han Mansion would throw a grand feast where everyone could come and eat and drink for free for three days and nights.

It was a blessing for countless citizens of Lingjun City and the days they looked forward to the most each year, as they could easily indulge in fine food.

As Han Li’s cultivation level advanced to the fifth level of the Pihai Realm, the Han Family’s business also expanded significantly, and Lingjun City prospered even more. It had even begun to expand and would grow much larger in a few years.

As more and more people flooded into the city, property prices in Lingjun City also rose. Some profited from this, while others saw the opportunity to make a killing.

The various powers, families, and wealthy merchants in Lingjun City had their criticisms about the old ancestor of the Han Family taking concubines so frequently.

The main issue was the frequency with which the old ancestor took concubines. Each time he took a concubine, they had to present a congratulatory gift of considerable value, lest they offend the Han Family. The various families and Dowers felt that if this continued, their foundations would be drained.

Luckily, as Lingjun City prospered, they could also earn more profits, and the Han Family had delegated some of their businesses to them as agents; for example, they could use their channels to sell common pills, weapons, etc., allowing them to reap considerable benefits.

Regarding the Han Family, the various families in Lingjun City had mixed feelings. With this gigantic entity in their midst, they could not develop on their own.

There used to be three major families in Lingjun City, but now all of them honored the Han Family. The Li Family and the Zhang Family had given their beautiful descendants to Han Li as concubines, and their power had somewhat improved, though not nearly as much as the Han Family.

It could be said that the Han Family was like a mountain crushing down on the heads of all the other families and powers in Lingjun City, and the dominance of the Han Family was not likely to change in the future.

The old ancestor of the Han Family had taken many concubines and sired many offspring with cultivation talent, among them not lacking those with eight or even seven-grade talent. Additionally, as these descendants grew and spread out, the Han Family would only become stronger and stronger.

A grand wedding ceremony was held as scheduled, and Han Li finally wed Lin Yiwu and Lin Yiyin, two sisters, bringing two stunning beauties of peerless elegance and charm into his home as concubines.

Among all his concubines, the sisters Lin Yiwu and Lin Yiyin had the highest beauty and the best talent, and even their cultivation levels ranked in the top three.

The wedding night was highly valued, a moment of spring worth a thousand gold.

Han Li spent a beautiful night.

In the following days, Han Li took good care of the two sisters, and Lin Yiwu and Lin Yiyin fully accepted their new reality and settled down.

Both sisters’ cultivation levels were too low at the moment, but with their talents and the support and guidance of Han Li, their cultivation would soon enter a period of rapid advancement.

Han Li did not forget about his other concubines and would take the time to accompany them as well.

During such moments, the concubines would considerately say, “Husband, please go and accompany the two sisters first.”

Having been through it themselves, they understood that the newlyweds needed their husband’s company more after marriage. They were pure in thought, harboring no ideas of scheming or rivalry.

They were diligent in their cultivation, spending most of their time practicing when not in Han Li’s company.

In the past, they rarely had such thoughts, but over the past year or so, the concubines found their cultivation speed gradually accelerating, for reasons unknown.

This excited them, as it meant they could reach higher realms and gain longer lifespans.

Nobody wanted to be short-lived, given the choice, everyone would opt to be long-lived, enabling them to stay by their husband’s side for much longer.

Han Li saw all this and knew it was the effect of the Body-Cultivating Furnace, but he didn’t explain, only frequently giving pointers on the concubines’ cultivation.

That day, Han Li was enjoying leisure time in the Fragrance Garden.

Lying in a recliner chair, he propped his chin in one hand, occasionally opening his mouth to accept the delicacies fed to him by Li Mingmeng, Liu Yuexin, and other concubines; some were giving him shoulder rubs and massages.

Other concubines formed a dance troupe, performing various shows.

Currently performing were the peerless sisters Lin Yiwu and Lin Yiyin, their exposed fair skin, graceful figures, and hair fluttering in the wind ignited a fiery passion in Han Li even though he had already played with every inch of the sisters’ skin.

This was Han Li’s daily divine life, laying flat and rising high, not having to crazily grind like those cultivators, sometimes secluding himself for decades, or going out to experience hardships in search of opportunities, fighting over resources.

Han Mansion was divided into five main parts, the front courtyard, middle court, left and right courtyards, and the back courtyard, which was off-limits to the Han Family descendants to enter at will; this was the reserved area for Han Li and his concubines.

Male members, even his sons and grandsons, were not allowed to enter; daughters could enter only with permission, and usually, only the personal maids of the concubines could come and go. They were strictly forbidden to speak of the back courtyard’s affairs, or they would face the severest family laws.

After all, it was not uncommon for Han Li to spend his days in the garden admiring flowers, arranging them, watching dances, or playing with jade—scenes not meant for other males to see.

When a sword dance performance ended, Lin Yiwu and Lin Yiyin approached, glistening with sweat. Han Li stood up and wrapped an arm around each of them, planting a kiss.

Lin Yiwu, somewhat shy, had trouble accepting such public displays of affection, but Lin Yiyin offered her other cheek, and Han Li rewarded her with another kiss.

At that moment, a maid hurried in; she too was quite beautiful, scoring eighty out of a hundred, handpicked by the concubines for her pleasing looks were more soothing to the eyes.

After reporting to Liu Yuexin, the maid withdrew, envy evident in her eyes. She very much desired to become one of the Han Family patriarch’s concubines, but she had not been chosen.

Liu Yuexin approached Han Li, and compared to other concubines, she was more mature and composed, exuding an air of grace and luxury, like a ripe peach that is one way on the outside and another at home.

“My lord,” Liu Yuexin spoke, “Tianxuan Mountain has sent a message, summoning all disciples in the Pihai Realm and above to return to the Sect.”

There was a hint of worry in Liu Yuexin’s voice; she knew Han Li’s background and her love for him was unwavering, as she was the concubine who had accompanied Han Li the longest.

It was a rare occasion for Tianxuan Mountain to summon all disciples in the Pihai Realm and above back to the Sect, an event that seldom happened in history, and it was also a first for Han Li.

As astute as Liu Yuexin was, she sensed something amiss in the summons and was worried about potential dangers Han Li might encounter upon his return to the Sect.

Han Li was the Han Family’s stabilizing talisman and the backbone of all his concubines; if anything were to happen to him, their fate would be dire..
