WTF, The Centuries-Old Ancestor In Our Family Take Concubine Again! - Chapter 196

Chapter 196

The devastating war that occurred tens of thousands of years ago inflicted unimaginable damage on both regions. The younger generation didn’t want to perpetuate that hatred and start another large-scale conflict, which would likely spell the end of the Northern Sea.

Of course, these powerful members of the aquatic clan were not looking to take advantage without offering anything in return. They were prepared to exchange valuable assets for the magical treasures Li Su could provide, fostering a mutually beneficial relationship.

“Sir, Mo Lin has been by your side for the past five years. Even though she hasn’t spoken, her feelings for you have already developed. If you don’t object to this marriage, I can decide on Mo Lin’s behalf,” Mo Lin’s grandfather said decisively, seizing the opportunity. Mo Lin’s consistent presence by Li Su’s side over the past five years had caused her feelings for him to evolve. Mo Lin’s grandfather, an experienced individual with a long lifespan, had noticed these changes, which prompted him to propose the idea.

Li Su responded, expressing his gratitude for the proposal, but he insisted that Mo Lin’s opinion should also be considered. Additionally, he clarified that he was already married to Bai Ling and had a daughter. Thus, he proposed having a wedding ceremony for Bai Ling first. Li Su held Bai Ling’s hand as he spoke, and his words deeply moved him.

Other powerful members of the aquatic clan quickly caught on to the situation. They expressed their joy at the prospect of a wedding ceremony for Bai Ling, recognizing her as part of the Northern Sea.

“As for Mo Lin, there’s no need to worry on her side. Let’s focus on your wedding first,” Mo Lin’s grandfather concurred, settling the matter. The aquatic clan opened their treasure vault for Li Su to select his rewards, given the immense significance of his task of reshaping the sacred artifacts.

Li Su selected various unique materials found in the ocean, such as special metals from the ocean floor, as they remained intact and valuable despite the sea’s past catastrophic events. After the selection, during a banquet, he proposed establishing trade between the Northern Sea and the outside world, which was readily agreed upon by the powerful members of the aquatic clan. They pledged their cooperation and support for Li Su.

Li Su also learned that the Coastal City was established by a Nascent Soul cultivator from the sea clan for the purpose of infiltrating the Northern Territory and acquiring fragments of the sacred artifact. However, now that the sacred artifact was restored, they decided to leave the coastal city in Li Su’s hands, acknowledging his significance in this situation. This explained why Li Su had never encountered the lord of the coastal city during his visits.

“Originally, this guy is from the Sea Clan, but I suspect there’s also human heritage in him, which most people can’t recognize. Up to this point, the enmity between the Northern Territory and the Sea Clan, which has continued for tens of thousands of years, has been completely settled by Li Su. Not only did he settle it, but Li Su also achieved something that countless cultivators in the Northern Territory could never do. Now, he has gained the respect and friendship of all the Sea Clan members.”

Following this, preparations began for a grand wedding in the Northern Sea. Bai Ling’s wedding was extremely grand because it was considered the marrying off of a daughter by the entire Sea Clan, so every member sent people to help with the preparations.

The aquatic clan had many differences from humans, and concepts like having multiple wives or concubines were not part of their culture. Bai Ling didn’t make any such demands. After marrying Li Su, Bai Ling would permanently reside with the Mermaid, but Li Su would no longer need to be discreet when visiting her.

Li Su returned to the Li family estate and began preparations for their upcoming life together. A large number of invitations were sent out. At the same time, Li Su had Liu Xinyue send several late-stage Golden Core cultivators to take control of the coastal city, turning this immortal city into his own.

In the future, it would also become a place for trade with the Sea Clan. Currently, having late-stage Golden Core cultivators stationed here would be sufficient. Li Su made preparations to strengthen the defensive formations in the celestial city, ensuring that it could withstand attacks from fourth-order sea beasts without worry. He planned to have Liu Xinyue take over once Liu Xinshui completed her seclusion.

Invitations from the Li family were sent far and wide, reaching various sects and celestial cities. This time, Li Su intended to invite all the cultivators to the wedding. Building good relations with the aquatic clan was not something that needed to be kept a secret. Announcing the trade with the aquatic clan was a strategic move that would bring prosperity to the coastal city. It could contribute to the overall prosperity of the Northern Territory.

“Master, Master! Li Su is taking on concubines again!” A disciple from the Falling Cloud Sect rushed in to report. “Taking concubines again, is he? Li Su hasn’t done that for years. I suppose Elder Jin should go this time,” said the head of the Falling Cloud Sect, who was quite busy. Since Li Su had previously mentioned that his concubines would be special, it was common practice for the sect leaders to send their elders to handle such matters.

“Master, this time, Li Su is taking on concubines of a rather unique nature. You might want to pay a visit personally,” the disciple explained. The head of the Falling Cloud Sect looked at him and said, “Almost all the women of some status in the Northern Territory have been taken by Senior Li. Could it be that this time, he’s taking women from other realms?” In addition to the Northern Territory, there were also the Western, Eastern, and Southern Territories in this region. The Central Realm was the strongest, and the other realms were also formidable, stronger than the current Northern Territory.

“This is unavoidable.” “No, Sect Leader, Senior Li, this time, has taken in a Mermaid Queen from the North Sea Clan. It is said that her cultivation has reached the Nascent Transformation stage!” the disciple said. The expression on the head of the Falling Cloud Sect suddenly became quite remarkable, and he could hardly believe his ears. “Show me the invitation.” He waved his hand, summoning the invitation directly. Upon reading it, a look of profound shock appeared on his face. “He… he… he took a concubine from the sea?” The head of the Falling Cloud Sect was completely astonished!
