Concubines Lead to Strength: The Path to Immortality Begins with Taking a Spouse-Chapter 278 - 187: Challenge Again_3
Chapter 278 -187: Challenge Again_3
At this very moment, the three of them were holding the elixirs given by Lord Jun but had yet to consume them.
Once the elixirs were refined, all three could develop their Acquired Dao Bodies!
Even in the Central State, how many could boast of possessing Acquired Dao Bodies?
While it wasn’t unique in the world, it was quite evident that this girl definitely wasn’t one of them.
Soon, Gu Changge and his group had already passed through the Inner Court and arrived outside the residence.
The two of them locked eyes again, yet it was entirely different from the first time.
Dongfang Mingyue’s gaze was complex as she once again endowed her pupils with Spiritual Power to survey this man, but the result remained the same.
His Root Bone was very poor…
Yet… the deeds he had done were completely at odds with the Root Bone he displayed.
Just as her gaze inadvertently swept over Liu Qingqing, she suddenly froze.
“What’s going on…”
“Wasn’t she an Acquired Spiritual Body before… and her qualifications were about the same as mine?”
“Why has her Root Bone suddenly turned… exceedingly poor?”
Dongfang Mingyue was dumbstruck, and at the same time, she turned her gaze towards the other two who had come out with Gu Changge, another woman, and a lolita.
The other woman’s situation was similar to that of Liu Qingqing.

However, the white-haired lolita, she recognized at a glance, was the young dragon that had escaped from the Central State.
But…
Was the Dragon Clan’s Root Bone also this poor?
Something was amiss, exceedingly, and thoroughly amiss!
At that moment, she suddenly realized.
He was not of poor Root Bone, but had used some means to conceal his true condition!
No wonder he could easily defeat her in the same realm!
But what kind of qualifications did he really possess?
Why would that trigger a Heavenly Tribulation?
Dao Body?
She had never heard of a Dao Body that could trigger a Heavenly Tribulation.
“Miss, for this challenge, have you prepared any treasures?”
Gu Changge had not pondered this much; facing this girl from the Dongfang Family, he directly asked.
“No.”
“I came to the Northern Domain in a hurry this time and did not bring anything worthwhile.”
“All I have left are some Spirit Stones and elixirs, none of which count as treasures.”
“If you dare to fight me at full strength without suppressing your realm, the same words apply, I am willing to become Daoist Couple with you, and my Dongfang Family will support you wholeheartedly.”
“When the time comes to go to the Central State, my Dongfang Family will be your firm support!”
“Even if you have no such intentions towards me, I won’t force it; you can stay on nominal terms as you wish, and with that status, you will be stable enough to establish yourself in Central State.”
“And when you go to Central State, you can choose three Magic Treasures from the Dongfang Family’s Treasure Vault.”
“How about it?”
Dongfang Mingyue, having her train of thoughts interrupted, also answered his question very seriously.
In her words, there was even an undertone of humbleness.
If the other party was uninterested, even just keeping the title would suffice.
This remark made both Gu Changge and Liu Qingqing startle.
It felt familiar.
But the situation now was entirely different from the initial one.
Initially, it was because Gu Changge couldn’t cultivate.
But today, it was Dongfang Mingyue who was worried that he might not fancy her.
“Miss, have you thought this through?”
“This is a lifelong commitment, not a matter to be taken lightly.”
Gu Changge pondered for a moment, then asked.
“I mean what I say!”
Dongfang Mingyue answered without hesitation.
“Then it’s settled.”
Gu Changge did not rush to clarify his own feelings, but he agreed straightforwardly.
As Dongfang Mingyue said, he was not even sure what he really felt at the moment, was it just for a bet, or because he was attracted to her…
But even on a nominal basis, it would be greatly beneficial to him.
Not just the benefits Dongfang Mingyue described herself, but unexpectedly, he might also gain a new Daoist Couple panel—that was what he cared about the most!
Of course, this was also because he found this girl tolerable; otherwise, he wouldn’t want to randomly bind Daoist Couples, striving for quality and not quantity had always been his philosophy!
“It looks like… there’s no escape.”
Wang Yue, witnessing this scene, couldn’t help but mutter under her breath.
Lord Jun might not have realized it, but she could feel that the girl’s look at Lord Jun was quite different.
Everything implied that she wanted to become Daoist Couple with Lord Jun and even feared that Lord Jun would refuse her, hence why she mentioned even staying on nominal terms.
Even Liu Qingqing couldn’t help but develop a curious thought.
The current situation was different from when she and Lord Jun had first met; the implications of these words were naturally different now.
“If Lord Jun marries another.”
“Would Youbai call her sister or younger sister?”
Yuan Youbai, however, was concerned about a completely different issue.
Frowning, he pondered for a long time before seriously asking the two people beside him.
“Giggle…”
“Whatever you like.”
Wang Yue, hearing this, rubbed his head, finding it very amusing.
“Wow!”
“She really wants to be Young Master Gu’s wife!”
“For a moment, I’m not sure who is getting the better end of the deal…”
The observing cultivators, although guessing a bit, were still surprised to hear her say it herself.
Even the Gu Family Elders who appeared upon hearing this had a peculiar look on their faces.
Gu Kuang, naturally, hadn’t missed out on the news about his grandson.
He appeared on the mansion’s wall at the first moment, leisurely lifting his wine gourd to his mouth.
Hearing this, he chuckled and muttered, “Grandson’s luck in love is indeed not bad; just don’t know when he will give us a great-grandson.”
In his eyes, his grandson was surely winning.
Even if that girl didn’t suppress her realm, it did not matter.
After all, last time although the girl had suppressed her realm, the grandson didn’t even exert himself; just those two Innate Divine Abilities were enough to easily suppress an opponent across realms.
This was still him having no idea that the grandson had already unconsciously mastered not just two Innate Divine Abilities… thus such confidence.
After Gu Changge agreed, he casually tossed the Low Grade Heavenly Rank Flying Sword he had brought to Dongfang Mingyue.
“What is this?”
Dongfang Mingyue took her Flying Sword, slightly frowning, feeling that he was perhaps underestimating her.
“As this is a duel with full strength, it’s still best for Miss Dongfang to use her own sword.”
Gu Changge simply waved his hand nonchalantly.
And recalling this guy even refined the Heavenly Tribulation, Dongfang Mingyue took a deep breath and no longer refused!
She, too, wanted to see just how strong this guy could be, and if she put all her strength into it, what the outcome would be!
However, this time, she didn’t even bring up what price Gu Changge would have to pay if she won…
She didn’t mention taking Yuan Youbai or even her own Flying Sword!
Clearly, she herself hadn’t noticed that she was only thinking about what to do if she lost and hadn’t even considered what it meant to win!
