WTF, The Centuries-Old Ancestor In Our Family Take Concubine Again! - Chapter 187
Chapter 187
In this world, the celestial tribulation was designed to be harsh, especially for demonic cultivators. This was quite reasonable. Without such restrictions, the entire world might have been dominated by demonic cultivators. That would lead to chaos, disorder, widespread slaughter, and constant warfare. There could even be scenarios where millions of people were sacrificed by certain demonic cultivators every few days.
Indeed, such a chaotic world was far from ideal. You Yue’s words were like music to Li Su’s ears. “Husband, you are truly remarkable. I walked a treacherous path with a nine-in-ten chance of death while you diligently cultivated your way up.” Impressed by her words, Li Su decided to reward her.
Another hour passed, and You Yue pushed her disheveled hair behind her ears as she said, “Husband, it’s perfect that you’ve reached the Nascent Soul stage. This time, I brought someone with me. She has always wanted to break free from the restrictions of another demonic sect.”
“Oh?” Li Su was curious. “She is the Saintess of the Venom Sect. A poisonous curse was placed on her heart from a young age. If she disobeys, her heart will be devoured by venom. Husband, you can try to see if you can help her. If it’s impossible, so be it,” You Yue explained.
The Saintess of the Venom Sect!
“Husband, she’s also a pitiable soul. When she was a child, bandits killed her whole family, and the Venom Sect members happened to pass by. They discovered she possessed the Seven Apertures Lustrous Body, so they brought her back with them,” she continued. “The Seven Apertures Lustrous Body is impervious to all poisons and is the ideal constitution for practicing poison techniques. Its only weakness is the heart,” You Yue whispered to clarify.
Li Su pondered for a moment and said, “Alright, I’ll give it a try.”
“Husband, do you still have that holy token?” You Yue hesitated for a moment and asked.
Li Su had nearly forgotten about this item. With a thought, he retrieved the holy token from his storage bag. “You Yue, what is the purpose of this holy token?” Li Su inquired. Even the sect leader was unaware of the purpose of the holy token. Despite her family’s mystery, it appeared that she had left at a young age and had limited knowledge of the secrets of the cultivation world.
“Through the holy token, one can enter a special place. However, only those in the Nascent Soul stage can enter. Inside, there are many rare celestial materials and treasures. With good luck, you might even obtain a wisp of celestial energy,” You Yue explained.
“Celestial energy?” Li Su inquired.
You Yue nodded, “Yes, it’s called celestial energy, but I’m not sure if it relates to celestial.”
“Husband, I wanted to obtain the holy token before competing for that wisp of celestial energy. It is said that with celestial energy, when it diffuses around, it can mitigate the severity of a demonic cultivator’s celestial tribulation. Although it can only be used once, it is still a treasure for demonic cultivators.”
The thing demonic cultivators feared the most was celestial tribulation. Celestial energy could reduce the intensity of a demonic cultivator’s celestial tribulation, making it a precious resource for them.
Li Su handed the holy token to You Yue and said, “It’s for you.”
“Thank you, Husband!” You Yue accepted the holy token with delight. It was thanks to this holy token that Li Su captured her in the first place, and it was because of it that she had borne so many of his children. Without this holy token, she might have never crossed paths with Li Su.
“You Yue, when you’re ready to set off, let me know. Once you obtain celestial energy, don’t rush to use it. Leave your Nascent Soul tribulation to me,” Li Su instructed.
You Yue softly responded with a “Hmm.”
While Li Su’s words might have sounded somewhat arrogant, she chose to believe in him. To some extent, she had become a fangirl of Li Su.
“Gu Yue pays her respects to Senior Li,” later, in the guest hall, the Saintess of the Venom Sect greeted Li Su.
The woman introduced herself as Gu Yue, and her strength should not be underestimated. She had reached the peak of the Nascent Soul stage. She practiced poison techniques, but her appearance was deceptively delicate, resembling the character Lin Daiyu. Of course, anyone who assumed she was fragile would be sorely mistaken.
“I need to examine your body,” Li Su said.
Gu Yue hesitated for a moment and then extended her hand. Li Su placed his hand on her wrist and silently sensed her body.
“Don’t resist,” Li Su said after a while.
Gu Yue blushed and restrained her true essence within her body. Li Su’s true essence made its way through her. Soon, it reached her heart.
After a while, Li Su withdrew his hand. “It’s quite troublesome. This evil curse has been with you since childhood and now occupies your entire heart. To resolve it, you need to replace your heart.”
Gu Yue’s face turned pale. “Please, Senior, save me. If you save me, I’m willing to fulfill any of your requests as long as I can do it.”
Li Su looked at her and asked, “Anything? If I save you, will you bear children for me?”
You Yue, standing nearby, naturally realized that Li Su was probably speaking off the cuff again. But how he immediately brought up “bearing children” left You Yue feeling somewhat exasperated.
Gu Yue’s eyes widened, and she hadn’t anticipated such a request from Li Su. Perhaps it was her surprise, but Gu Yue’s face turned red, and she lowered her head, unable to meet Li Su’s gaze. In a mosquito-like voice, she replied, “Senior, Gu Yue is willing.”
Her response left Li Su somewhat baffled. After all, she was a Saintess from the Venom Sect at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage. How could she agree so readily?
Li Su had indeed spoken offhandedly. In front of the witch, he could be more relaxed and less restrained in his speech.
“Senior, do you require Gu Yue to make a blood oath?” Gu Yue asked cautiously, perhaps noticing that Li Su hadn’t responded.
“No need for that. You can stay here. I will have someone deliver pills to you every day. Take them as prescribed, and after about a year, you should be fine,” Li Su said.
“Okay, Senior,” Gu Yue replied happily. Li Su was somewhat puzzled. Could this be called love at first sight? Was this young woman infatuated with him from the moment they met?
(Ed Note: Gu Yue is also named Ancient Moon.)
