Patriarch is Taking Concubines Again!-Chapter 413

Chapter 413

“Master, have you made your decision?”

In the outer court, Saintess Zixue spoke with evident joy. Lord Feng Tian had finally chosen to marry Li Su.

This time, it was the marriage proposal of a Master from Xuantian Academy. So, about half a month after Lord Feng Tian made a decision, another even more formidable Lord from the academy brought up this matter.

However, before this, Zixue had already communicated with Li Su. Lord Feng Tian, such a potent expert in celestial and human realms, kept her head lowered throughout, her face adorned with a faint blush.

Despite her immense strength, when it came to matters of romance, Lord Feng Tian’s behavior wasn’t much different from that of any other newlywed. This display from Lord Feng Tian, in fact, made Li Su rather fond of her.

What Li Su liked the most was the shyness of a young woman. Shyness indicated they had never experienced romance, not even considering it in their hearts.

Just thought, could a battle-hardened woman ever be shy?

Even those witches like Murong Xue or even the Vice Palace Master from the Demon Saint Palace residing within True Martial Saintess’s body, while their pursuit of Li Su was notably intense, there were still moments when they would feel extremely embarrassed, and this shyness wasn’t just an act.

With this matter settled, numerous invitations were swiftly sent out in all directions, causing a tremendous stir. Among Li Su’s admirers, the Master of Returning Origin Sect (Guiyuan) was also a formidable celestial and human realm expert.

However, due to the relationship with Peak Master Dieyun, the Master of Returning Origin Sect was unwilling to publicly acknowledge her relationship with Li Su. This was Li Su’s first time marrying a powerhouse at the Crossing Tribulations stage, and naturally, it stirred quite a commotion.

“Xuantian Academy really went all out this time, actually marrying a Master off to Senior Li.”

“Yes, it’s simply unbelievable!”

“What’s the fuss about? Even with a Crossing Tribulations expert, they can’t compare to a reincarnated immortal with boundless potential.”

“…”

Many cultivators in the Northern Region were astonished by this turn of events. Some cultivators were astonished at the grand gesture made by Xuantian Academy.

Marrying off a Master-level powerhouse to Li Su was unprecedented.

Masters at the master level were absolute high-level figures within holy places, capable of deciding many significant matters within these holy places. And now, Lord Feng Tian was set to marry Li Su, causing a hunger among ordinary cultivators.

“Is Xuantian Academy really so willing to go to such lengths?”

In the city of Su, even Dongxuan, a Master at the same level as Lord Feng Tian, was shocked upon learning this. Dongxuan had passed the Second Decline, similar to Lord Feng Tian, but he had done so later and had a considerable period of tranquillity after it. It wasn’t just Dongxuan.

Other leaders from various sacred places were equally surprised by this news. Many leaders from different sacred places haven’t yet left the Northern Region. They needed to discuss and adjust their strategies in establishing rapport with Li Su, especially now that the Li family had two reincarnated immortals.

At the same time, these sacred places were also preparing to station some leaders at Wolong Mountain to counter the potential threat from the Demon Saint Palace. Apart from Lord Feng Tian, there was only one female among these leaders. The rest were males. While there were female experts in each sacred place at the Fifth Decline level, some even had more than one, they might just be at the onset of the Fifth Decline.

The time consumed during this stage was considerable, apart from reincarnated or spiritual roots immortals. For other cultivators to pass through this period, the fastest might take around twenty to thirty thousand years, while it could take even longer for others. Unless there were exceptionally talented cultivators who chose to face the Decline more aggressively to shorten the time, it usually increased the difficulty. In general, not many cultivators opted for this route.

Previously, the strategy of many sacred places towards Li Su was establishing good relations, banking on the immense power Li Su wielded. When he ascended, it might benefit each sacred place immensely. Now, with the Li family having gained another reincarnated immortal and Li Su having a wife with spiritual roots, the strategies of these sacred places were potentially evolving.

In this situation, these sacred places had been discussing further plans to win over Li Su. Unexpectedly, Xuantian Academy boldly moved by marrying a Master to Li Su. Li Su’s inclination towards having multiple partners was widely known, and Xuantian Academy’s move could be considered perfectly tailored to his preferences, hitting the mark and satisfying Li Su’s desires.

This caused some sacred places to overturn their previous strategies and rethink their approaches. Several months later, the wedding was held as scheduled. Naturally, the scale of this wedding was considerable. The Xuantian Academy’s marriage proposal for a Master also displayed even greater pomp and circumstance than when they proposed to marry Zixue. Numerous sacred places naturally presented lavish gifts.

During this wedding, nothing out of the ordinary happened. People from the Dongfang Family didn’t reappear, and even the Thunder Sword Master attended. Once again, Li Su became the center of attention for cultivators and the object of envy for everyone. After completing the ceremonies and entertaining all the guests, night fell. Li Su made his way to the bridal chamber.

Lord Feng Tian’s head was covered with a red veil, her figure appearing graceful and exquisite. Li Su slowly approached her and gently lifted the red veil from her head. Lord Feng Tian lowered her head, casting a shy glance. However, as she sensed Li Su preparing to take further action, she fought through her embarrassment and raised her head.

“Li Su, marrying you was indeed with the hope of receiving your assistance and aiming to strengthen the ties between Xuantian Academy and you,” Lord Feng Tian expressed.

At this moment, she began to display some of her grace as a Master. “I understand,” Li Su replied.

Lord Feng Tian’s beautiful eyes brightened. “But it wasn’t a forced marriage. Since it’s my choice after twenty thousand years of cultivation, I won’t let you down in this lifetime.”

Her tone was plain, lacking the resolute determination found in some vows, but within her calm words lay her determination. Sometimes, simplicity holds great power. Li Su gently took her hand. “And I won’t let you down either.”

With that simple phrase, it felt like an unspoken lifetime commitment had been made. Lord Feng Tian closed her eyes, a gesture that seemed like an invitation. Unable to resist any longer, Li Su gently kissed her. That night, Lord Feng Tian belonged entirely to him, her new groom. Early the next morning, Li Su and Lord Feng Tian rose to see off the guests. Later that night, as usual, Li Su brought Lord Feng Tian back to their room. The feeling Lord Feng Tian evoked in Li Su was somewhat different. She and Li Su had not had much interaction before, and Lord Feng Tian had never considered matters of romance.

Their union felt like two individuals from ancient times, having met briefly and then bound together by parental decree and matchmaking. At times, Lord Feng Tian couldn’t entirely let go. Yet, this version of Lord Feng Tian gave Li Su a different experience. However, Li Su found her allure and charm endlessly delightful. Thus, after marrying Li Su, Lord Feng Tian finally understood the true prowess of Li Su in a way she hadn’t before.

It seemed she might have felt quite helpless deep down. There hadn’t been much deep communication between her and Li Su yet, and in another form, they had forcibly communicated for several months. Due to Lord Feng Tian’s nearing the Crossing Tribulations stage, Li Su used specific techniques each time to prevent her from conceiving.
