WTF, The Centuries-Old Ancestor In Our Family Take Concubine Again! - Chapter 86

Chapter 86

Li Su remained composed and requested an explanation. He said, “I had to write it this way for proper transmission. You’ll have to figure out how to piece it together yourself. Your success depends on your abilities. I’ve tried to make it as convenient as possible, but remember not to share it with others. If you ever need to share it, it can only be done using my method.”

The Holy Maiden of the Silent Moon responded, “So, I have to reassemble two thousand characters that are completely scrambled? This task is nearly impossible. Remember that even in this world, only three or four thousand commonly used characters can form countless articles, ranging from a few thousand characters to tens of millions, each with a different meaning. They can document an entire civilization’s history. Now, even with just two thousand characters, some repeated, and with potential underlying patterns, the difficulty of reassembly is extremely high.”

She then offered an alternative, suggesting, “Alternatively, you could place your forehead against mine and release some of the restrictions for direct transmission. That way, you won’t need to write it down.”

With this suggestion, the Holy Maiden of the Silent Moon seemed to regain the upper hand, waiting to see Li Su’s choice. She believed she could counter him if he chose the latter option, especially in the sect leader’s absence.

Li Su, however, surprised her by immediately kissing her passionately. After several minutes, he released her and collected the sheet of paper. He stated, “From now on, you are my servant. I will help you remove the Demon Seal once I am satisfied, but I never promised to set you free.”

Protesting, the Holy Maiden of the Silent Moon exclaimed, “You’re being unreasonable!”

Li Su, undeterred, replied, “Very well, I’ll give you a deadline. Wait until I reach the Nascent Soul stage.”

He continued, “You are currently only at the eighth layer of the Golden Core stage, and your Golden Core grade is not low. It might take you ages to reach the Nascent Soul stage.”

The Holy Maiden of the Silent Moon retorted, “I must return to the Demon Palace every hundred years. If I don’t, the Demon Seal will activate. Are you sure you can reach the Nascent Soul stage within a hundred years?”

“Hundred years? It won’t take that long,” Li Su confidently responded. To facilitate the situation, he called in several maidservants who transformed the Holy Maiden of the Silent Moon into exquisite attire, making her appear ethereal.

Satisfied with her appearance, Li Su remarked, “Silent Moon,” while examining the written characters. She stood behind him, ready to serve, and upon his call, she leaned forward to pour tea. However, Li Su embraced her, eliciting her protest.

With authority, Li Su asked, “What should you say when your master calls you?”

The Holy Maiden of the Silent Moon hesitated but eventually yielded, saying, “Yes, Master.” Li Su released her and instructed her to provide a shoulder massage.

Several months passed, during which the Holy Maiden of the Silent Moon served obediently by Li Su’s side. She became a qualified maidservant, following his orders to the best of her abilities. Any minor mistakes resulted in swift punishment.

Li Su held a trump card—having her bear his child. So, even if she wished for him to choose her second option, she had to comply and address him as “Master.”

However, Li Su was not as patient as he appeared. At times, he punished her with physical intimacy, maintaining control over her. The Holy Maiden of the Silent Moon was caught in a web of power dynamics, and her dignity was eroded.

Then, Li Su revealed his mastery of her secret technique. When she thought it was nearly impossible to reassemble the scrambled characters, he effortlessly reconstructed the instructions, leaving her in shock. Li Su had successfully pieced together her secret technique, changing the balance of power once more.

Li Su quickly mastered the secret technique for a simple reason. In recent months, Qin Xiaoyue had given birth to his fifth child, and surprisingly, this child also had a fifth-grade spiritual root. Notably, out of the five children Qin Xiaoyue bore for Li Su, four had exceptional spiritual roots – one was in the fourth, two in the fifth, and one in the eighth. Qin Xiaoyue’s fertility was remarkable, a trait not shared by Li Su’s other concubines. Li Su believed that some kind of “fortune” or “luck” was associated with Qin Xiaoyue, as her ability to decipher the inscriptions on the wordless stone monument and her remarkable fertility made it seem she was blessed by destiny.

Although the concept of “fortune” or “luck” hadn’t been mentioned before, Qin Xiaoyue’s unique abilities and fertility made it seem destiny favored her. The only thing lacking might be her spiritual roots, which led Li Su to have her attempt to have another child. While cultivation was essential, Qin Xiaoyue had now reached the Golden Core stage, and Li Su decided to have her try for another child, hoping for more surprises.

Li Su also prepared many elixirs to improve Qin Xiaoyue’s physical health and enhance her cultivation. These elixirs helped her advance in power and improved her overall well-being. The experience gained from Qin Xiaoyue’s pregnancies significantly contributed to Li Su’s understanding and mastery of the secret technique over 16 years.

Despite the secret technique recorded by the Moonlit Saint being disorderly, Li Su’s dedication allowed him to effectively leverage those 16 years of experience. This deepened his comprehension of the secret technique, enabling him to reverse-engineer and reassemble its techniques, leaving the Moonlit Saint baffled.

The Moonlit Saint couldn’t comprehend how Li Su had achieved this feat. This task might have been impossible even with the supercomputers from Li Su’s era before his time travel. When asked how he managed it, Li Su responded, “Do you want to know? Well, I’ll tell you,” motioning with his finger. The Moonlit Saint approached him, and they shared a kiss, a routine that had occurred nearly every day for the past few months.
