A leisurely life in the world of cultivation

Chapter 113 As long as there are enough pig blood vessels, one day he will be invincible in the world!
"Third Uncle is back!"

"Third Uncle came back alone! He didn't bring Third Aunt with him!"

Li Huan and Li Rui, two mischievous boys, were wearing cotton-padded jackets and shoes and were playing happily in the courtyard with Xi Mei, Xiao Dong, Xiao Xi, and Xiao Bei. When they saw Li Weizhou come in, they immediately ran inside to report the news.

"elder brother!"

Xi Mei stepped forward with a grin and called out. Li Weizhou rubbed her head and said, "When Yue Niang breaks through to the Martial Grandmaster level, let her teach you martial arts."

The four little girls have all become enlightened, and their physical fitness has greatly improved. They are not afraid of the cold even when they are wearing thin clothes.

Xi Mei smiled and agreed, but she was also curious: "Isn't Master Yue'er coming back? She promised that she would come back to teach me after the horse market was over."

Li Weizhou pondered for a moment, unsure of his chances. After all, he had caused quite a stir at the Tiannan Prince's Mansion, and he wasn't sure if he might also implicate that young girl. He said, "Ask Chu Mengjun later; she knows. She might have had something come up and returned to Tiannan. But it's alright; we'll meet again eventually. What, don't you want your sister-in-law to teach you?"

Xi Mei's eyes flickered slightly, and she whispered, "No..." But unwilling to lie to her brother, she whispered again, "She stole my brother away."

Tears of grievance were about to fall.

Li Weizhou said, "That's definitely not the case. You were raised by your brother, and you grew up together, relying on each other for survival. Even though your sister-in-law is the new bride, she still has to take care of you."

Xi Mei quickly regained her composure and nodded sensibly, replying, "Yes, we are family!"

Li Weizhou happily patted her head and said, "My little sister is the best! Come on, let's go inside and talk!"

Perhaps because he had been waiting for a long time, Li Chang'an had already come out to greet him.

……

"That's roughly what happened. Although she's a woman, she has a heroic air about her, which I respect. But she only said she was my woman to gain a moral high ground. Actually, I don't understand what that means at all..."

Li Weizhou explained to Li Delong and Cao Shi.

Both Zhao Yuanzhi and Zhang Wanyi, the two parties involved, couldn't help but burst out laughing. They had witnessed firsthand that ever since Li Weizhou appeared, the aloof and voluptuous woman seemed to have her eyes glued to him.

It would be a miracle if there was nothing wrong with this.

Third Brother's ability to lie through his teeth is truly impressive!

However, Li Delong surprisingly chose to believe Li Weizhou. People are all limited by their own perceptions, and Li Delong insisted on believing that his own child was a good child.

What Li Delong was concerned about was: "Will Shangqing Palace retaliate?"

Li Weizhou laughed and said, "I will definitely seek revenge when the opportunity arises, but that's the way of the martial world. It's all about who's more skilled, and it's probably useless. I'm fine; I don't move easily, and the Shangqing Palace doesn't dare to openly attack us. After all, there's still the law in the city. Silang, you'll definitely have to be more careful when you travel the martial world in the future. Also, take my words to heart. When you go back and see your master, have her go to the Shangqing Palace to pay her respects, and then come here. I have something very important to discuss with her. Oh, and Yuanzhi and Wanyi, when you two go home, have your families ring the bells for the Shangqing Palace and the Wei Prince's Mansion behind them."

Zhao Yuanzhi took it seriously and said, "After I return to the capital, I will tell my grandfather! I will also tell my mute grandfather to go find the Prince of Wei!" She paused, then added proudly, "My mute grandfather is a Martial God who has broken through nine levels!"

Indeed, without a national-level martial god, the Qi Prince's Mansion could not have secured its position as the head of the eight princes and the most respected master, and the Qi Prince could not have established two generations of emperors.

Li Weizhou gave a thumbs up and said, "Impressive." But he also asked curiously, "Last time I asked you... back when you and Silang went out to train, didn't your family arrange for a protector or anything to protect you?"

Zhao Yuanzhi glanced shyly at Li Changning and whispered, "That job wasn't originally for me. I secretly followed Aning out on my own, and my family didn't know."

Zhang Wanyi said calmly, "The last mission was one I went out with Aning, and nothing happened. I will also have my father give me a warning. Although my father is only a Breaking Eight Martial Saint, he may not be inferior to an old and frail Breaking Nine Martial God."

The eyes of the two sisters-in-law, Luo and Guo, lit up again. They looked at each other and noticed the excitement in each other's eyes: It's starting, it's starting! The drama of two women fighting over a man has begun again!

Fortunately, Li Weizhou didn't need to come to the rescue this time. Li Changning stepped forward himself and asked Li Weizhou, "Third Brother, have you prepared the precious ginseng for Third Sister-in-law to rebuild her foundation after her breakthrough? Didn't you give me all the ones you got from the horse market last time? After the breakthrough, you must have precious ginseng to solidify your foundation. We can't be careless."

Li Weizhou laughed and said, "It's alright, her father prepared some for her. You don't have any right now, so stop nagging."

This topic won't work; you're still too young.

After a moment of silence, Li Changning asked, "Third Brother, the hidden weapon you used today..."

Tsk, this one is pretty good.

Li Weizhou secretly praised him.

Sure enough, Zhao Yuanzhi and Zhang Wanyi forgot about their bickering and both looked over at the same time.

Li Weizhou laughed and said, "I knew you couldn't resist. But forget it, it's not that I'm reluctant, it's that your master warned you that using such hidden weapons will shake your swordsmanship and even your martial arts heart. Besides, the quantity is limited, so it will do you more harm than good. Come back to me when you feel that you've reached the end of your martial arts journey and can't continue practicing."

Li Changning was relieved and said with emotion, "Xiao Yichen's defeat was not unjust. This kind of hidden weapon is too powerful. Moreover, it was truly unexpected. Not only did we not expect it, but Xiao Yichen did not expect it either. Otherwise, with his agility, he would have had a chance to dodge it."

Zhao Yuanzhi chuckled and said, "I think the severity of his injuries is secondary; the main problem is his frustration and resentment. Plus, Qi Zhenkun is biased towards us, keeping him pinned down and unable to move. He's about to go crazy with anger."

Li Changning said with a solemn expression, "This person's swordsmanship talent is truly exceptional. I am no match for him, nor is Qi Zhenkun. If Xiao Yichen really grows up, Yuanjian Mountain's status as the number one sword sect in the world will be threatened. Third brother, Qi Zhenkun is not as kind as he seems on the surface. Be careful when dealing with him in the future. I suspect that transferring Xiao Yichen to Qingzhou City may also be his idea. Because within Yuanjian Mountain's sphere of influence, you are also beyond his control."

Li Weizhou nodded and said, "What you said is probably true. This also serves as a reminder to us that kind people often make this mistake: 'If I don't harm him, will he harm me?' That's naive. Apart from family and relatives, the only permanent relationships between people are those of eternal interests, not eternal friendships. Qi Zhenkun and Xiao Yichen were once friends, but when their interests clashed, Qi Zhenkun made a decisive choice. Yuanjian Mountain's position as the most ruthless among the eight sects didn't come easily. From now on, we must all be careful."

Li Changning nodded emphatically, and the two brothers smiled knowingly.

Then came a family chatting happily, tinged with a touch of sadness at parting.

There was so much to say, but time was of the essence. As midnight approached, Li Weizhou stood up and said with a smile, "Moon Lady has set a rule that we must go home tonight. Tsk, you won't be free after marriage. I told you, I shouldn't have gotten married so early. I didn't even get to hear a song or see a dance today."

The family laughed, and Cao was very satisfied, saying, "That's the kind of woman you should marry. Only someone who can keep a man in check can you have a good life!"

Luo and Guo nodded in agreement, while Zhao Yuanzhi and Zhang Wanyi seemed to be deeply inspired.

Li Delong told Xi Mei, "You'll be staying at the new house anyway, since you'll be moving here in a couple of days."

Xi Mei agreed, and Li Delong went a step further: "How about we go to the capital with your uncle? There are so many fun things to do in the capital!"

Xi Mei disagreed and shook her head, saying, "I want to stay with my brother."

Li Delong was disappointed, but he couldn't force the issue, as he felt guilty.

Li Weizhou smiled and patted his sister's head, saying, "Then spend more time with your uncle and aunt tonight. We probably won't see them again for several months until we go to the capital to visit them."

The atmosphere of parting dissipated considerably because of those words. Li Delong was so happy that he asked Li Weizhou to vouch for him again and again. After receiving a positive reply, he laughed heartily.

Li Weizhou then smiled and took his leave.

……

"Uncle Guan."

When Li Weizhou got home, he saw Guan Cheng sitting under the gatehouse, holding a large sword, looking very nervous. He greeted him.

Guan Cheng stood up to greet her, but then asked again, "Young Master, is what you're saying true? Is Miss really going to achieve great things?"

Li Weizhou smiled and nodded, but didn't say anything more, and went inside.

Guan Cheng was a bit confused when a person came down from the wall and said irritably, "Old Guan, you really don't have a brain."

Guan Cheng asked, puzzled, "What's wrong with me?"

The man laughed angrily, "This is the Li family home. Miss is already married and has become the mistress of the house. The son-in-law married her properly with a grand wedding procession, he didn't marry into the family. From now on, you have to change your address, you have to call him Master or Madam! Do you think the son-in-law is a live-in son-in-law?"

Guan Cheng slapped his forehead, regretting, "I didn't expect..." However, he asked doubtfully, "What if Miss really leaps over the Dragon Gate..."

The man cursed, "What does leaping over the Dragon Gate have to do with living life? Don't even mention leaping over the Dragon Gate, even if you leap over the Heavenly Gate, you still have to live life! Miss has become a Martial Grandmaster, and this is still the Li family. No wonder you've been a bachelor your whole life. You should use your brain! What good is just practicing this skill!"

Guan Cheng sighed and said, "It was only right that the head镖师 (镖师 is a kind of镖师, a kind of镖师 who is very skilled and cunning) sent you back. You are indeed more shrewd than I am... By the way, the head镖师 should be arriving soon, right?"

The man said, "After the Imperial Execution Division's main force left... those people got hooked on fishing and even wanted to lure out a few old ghosts from the main altar to kill. They're overthinking it. Those old ghosts have been suppressed and mistreated by the Dharma Master for decades. Now that they're free, they're probably overjoyed. They don't have many years left to live, so why would they come here to avenge the Dharma Master? I guess the Imperial Execution Division's people have realized what's going on and will leave in the next couple of days, probably returning to the capital with the Li family's eldest branch."

"Tsk tsk, it's like a dream. Who would have thought the Lord of Laws would die like this? The Lord of All Laws... Although we don't know exactly how he was killed, our son-in-law is quite something. You better be careful not to run into trouble, or you'll lose face when Miss pleads for you."

Guan Cheng shook his head repeatedly and said, "No, after a lifetime of wandering the martial world, I can't be so ignorant of these basic rules. By the way, Hall Master, the sect is currently leaderless. I hope the head镖头 (镖头 is a senior figure in the sect) doesn't have any other ideas. He's the only senior member left... You must persuade the head镖头 to stay. Nowadays, the Imperial Execution Division is full of ruthless people, and top experts like the Dharma Master and Dharma Protectors are all gone. If he has any ideas now, he's just courting death."

The man slapped Guan Cheng on the forehead with his scabbard and laughed, "Nonsense! If the head镖师 (bodyguard/escort) had ambitions, would you and I still be alive today? Keep a close eye on your gate. If the young lady is disturbed even a little, let's see how you'll face the head镖师."

……

Li Weizhou circled around the room where Zhou Yueniang was in seclusion. After sensing the rising and falling energy inside, he figured it would only be a matter of a day or two. So he set up a stance on the ground outside, closed his eyes, and went to the villa.

He didn't care about the guards in the pass; next year, the Dayuan Mountains would be short of heroes, and they would all be top-notch laborers.

With several such experts in the Li family right now, they do feel more at ease.

The moment Li Weizhou opened his eyes, he sensed something different.

On the Daqian side, Blood Eye and Stone Mirror, who had been playing dead obediently in their sea of ​​consciousness, seemed to be much more active here.

And the floating crimson sword, needless to say, kept demanding from its new master: Geng metal, Geng metal, Geng metal...

Like a language repeater.

It seemed as if Li Weizhou knew what Geng metal was.

I took out my phone and checked. It belongs to Yang Metal in the Five Elements theory, symbolizing raw, unrefined metals such as ores, steel, and swords.

Strange, are swords considered uncarved?
To be precise, let's cross this out.

I don't know where to buy ore, but I do know about steel...

He knew that the largest steel market in the mountain city was in Shuangfu, where he could buy any amount of steel.

The problem is, where can he find a pure wood spirit?

At that moment, he felt the crimson sword, deep within his mind, approach the blood-red eye with a somewhat alluring touch, and rub against it…

Li Weizhou: "..."

Forget it, let's try a smaller steel ingot.

It only takes fifty minutes to drive to Shuangfu Panbao Steel Market. As soon as you enter the market, you can see that every storefront is filled with steel products.

This is the largest steel market in the mountain city, with an annual storage capacity of up to four million tons.

The real-time inventory is certainly not that much, but it is still several hundred thousand tons.

This is even higher than the output of the Great Qian Dynasty's Wanli Heshan 235.

The key is their dense presence.

Li Weizhou could feel the sudden increase in Xiao Jian's activity level in his mind, and he was overjoyed.

He casually bought a 50-kilogram steel ingot, a cube less than 20 centimeters in size, put it in the passenger seat, and drove off.

The car stopped halfway through the journey. The right hand was placed on the steel ingot. Visibly, the steel ingot quickly dimmed, turned grayish-brown, and began to crack.

Within his sea of ​​consciousness, bursts of sword light surged from the small sword. Once the entire steel ingot had turned to dust, the small sword suddenly emitted a layer of sword light, which spread out and merged into Li Weizhou's body.

Li Weizhou immediately began to circulate the operating method of the "Undying Sword Body," and then he felt his skin gradually harden and stiffen...

Immediately, a stream of nectar descended into his sea of ​​consciousness, and his skin gradually felt soothed.

Only about five minutes later, when Li Weizhou opened his eyes again, he looked down at his hands, clenched them gently, and heard a sound like the ringing of a sword.

Tsk.

From now on, he will swallow fifty kilograms of steel ingots every day, cultivate the "Undying Sword Body", and supplement it with the "Golden Bell Cover".

Why can I only swallow 50 kilograms a day?

This is the feedback Blood Eye gave him; it can't be more than that, he's beyond his capabilities.

Li Weizhou was already quite satisfied. Xiao Yichen hadn't been able to get the little sword to recognize him as its master, and it was estimated that he would have to wait until he reached the Spirit Realm before that was possible.

Even so, he was able to achieve such defensive power after only a little cultivation.

Li Weizhou, thanks to the Blood Eye's feedback, was able to cultivate the Undying Sword Body ahead of time, without worrying about the metal turning into a lump of iron.

I wonder if we can withstand the bombardment of 155mm howitzers a year from now...

Forget about missiles. With a high-explosive warhead weighing over 500 kilograms, even the grandfather of the God of War wouldn't be able to do anything to him.

Of course, he certainly wouldn't give people that kind of opportunity easily.

If he can't be killed, then when he retaliates, almost no power on this planet can afford the consequences...

Because once he enters a big city, he becomes immortal.

With boundless pride in his heart, Li Weizhou threw the trash from the passenger seat into a roadside bin and went home to practice his "Golden Bell Cover" technique.

If one year of training isn't enough to withstand a missile, then train for two, three, five, or even ten years!
Breaking through to the ninth level of martial godhood is far from the end. As long as he has enough blood vessels, one day he will be invincible in the world!
……

When I opened my eyes again a few hours later, the fluctuations in the internal energy were even more intense.

Although Li Weizhou's divine sense was suppressed in the Great Qian World, far less so than the exaggerated 500 meters on Earth, it was still not a big problem within ten steps.

Without disturbing him, Li Weizhou changed his clothes, washed up, and went out.

After Zhou Yueniang leaps over the Dragon Gate and enters the Upper Three Passes, I will tell her about the Hidden God Palace and the Immortal Destiny.

That way, we can all live happily together, eating ice cream and drinking milk tea, peeling lobsters and gnawing on king crabs, and enjoying some strong liquor. Life will be full of flavor.

"Master, are you going out? How is Madam? Did she succeed in her leap over the dragon gate?"

He guarded the pass all night, his beard unkempt, but he was still in good spirits. He even changed his way of addressing people and learned to bow, which showed that he had been guided by a wise man.

Li Weizhou said with a smile, "It should be done by tomorrow, Uncle Guan, thank you for your hard work."

Guan Cheng had a long scar on his face that looked frightening, but he was smiling very happily at the moment, rubbing his hands and saying, "It's not hard work at all. As long as Miss... Madam can leap over the Dragon Gate, it's all worth it to stay here for a year or two! I really didn't expect such a happy event!"

Li Weizhou smiled and said, "Madam is someone your generation watched grow up, Uncle Guan, right?"

Guan Cheng nodded and said, "That's right. I didn't see her much when she was little, but after her mother passed away six years ago, she's been working as a镖头 (bodyguard/escort) ever since. She's not afraid of hardship, practices martial arts diligently, and is ruthless. She became a disciple of Abbess Xuanyin of Qingci Nunnery in Mingzhou Prefecture and learned the ultimate skill of the Golden Dart. Master, you'd better be careful not to upset Madam!"

Ignoring the man's somewhat disgusting trailing tone, upon hearing the words "golden dart," Li Weizhou suddenly thought of the copper coin wrapped around his wife's ponytail...

So, is it true that the more beautiful something is, the more dangerous it is?
It's quite a coincidence that she is a master of hidden weapons, and her husband is also a master of hidden weapons.

I imagined what it would be like if the two of us argued in the future, got really angry, and started pulling out hidden weapons to fight each other...

Wow, that was awesome!

However, such a thing is unlikely to happen. Yue Niang is so gentle and considerate, she will pose however you ask her to, she's so obedient, how could he bear to shoot her with a hidden weapon...

……

When Li Weizhou arrived at the gate of the Li family's new house with a smug look on his face, he saw that the car had already been loaded.

Several large carts of goods were salvaged from the ruins, along with a considerable amount of personal belongings. Everything that could be kept was preserved, but even so, there was still a lot of stuff left. Li Chang'an was seen directing several patrolmen to help tighten the ropes, and the manager and staff of Baibaolou also came to help.

Li Weizhou, carrying a large package on his back, complained, "Didn't I tell you, we don't need to bring any big items. We can just buy them over there. Bringing several large carts is too much trouble."

Li Chang'an laughed angrily, "Who's in charge, you or me? Don't you all have to listen to the old man? How's your wife? Has she broken through yet?"

Li Weizhou shook his head and said, "It'll be soon." The two brothers then went inside together. Seeing that Li Delong had already changed his clothes, Li Weizhou advised, "Bringing so many carts isn't convenient on the road. Just bring some changes of clothes and some dry food. Buy whatever you need along the way; that will be much faster. Several carts are a burden, taking months to travel. Leave them here, give them all to me."

Li Delong hesitated, and Luo whispered, "His third uncle, even if his family is ruined, is still worth a fortune; he's just a man who lives a simple life..."

Li Weizhou didn't mention paying for it himself, as that would be too disrespectful. Instead, he said from another angle, "The journey is too long. Adults can endure it, but children can't. If they get a fever or diarrhea, it would be a serious matter."

Luo immediately changed her stance and advised Li Delong, "Father, listen to Sanlang!"

At this moment, Li Changning, Zhao Yuanzhi, and Zhang Wanyi returned from outside. Li Weizhou asked, "Are the Imperial Punishment Bureau and the Mountain Forest Guard preparing to withdraw? Did they ask you about Xiao Yichen?"

Li Changning nodded and said, "I asked, and I said what you told me. I told you that you have my master's token, so I didn't dare disobey. Qi Zhenkun also said that Xiao Yichen injured your...thing first, which is why you retaliated in a fit of rage. He also said that since this matter involves Lord Situ, we should discuss it further after returning to the capital. I also said that I would have my master go to Shangqing Palace to pay respects to the sect later, and they didn't say anything after that."

Li Weizhou nodded, his gaze sweeping over everyone in turn, finally settling on Li Delong. Seeing that Li Delong's eyes were beginning to redden, he said with a hint of helplessness, "I said I'd come see you all in a few months..."

Li Delong snorted and stubbornly said, "I got a little sand in my eye, is that not allowed?"

Li Weizhou called Ximei over to his side and said, "Come, kowtow to your uncle and aunt. You've caused them so much trouble and worry over the years."

Xi Mei was obedient and knelt down with her brother.

Li Delong couldn't hold back his tears any longer. Seeing his nephew and niece, who had lost their parents, becoming so sensible, he was truly moved to tears.

Cao was also wiping away tears, and scolded Li Changping and Li Chang'an, "You have no sense of propriety, why aren't you helping them up!"

Before the two could move, Li Changning went to help Li Weizhou up, while Ximei was helped up by Zhao Yuanzhi and Zhang Wanyi, which made her a little scared.

Li Weizhou chuckled and stepped forward, first giving his eldest uncle a big hug, then his eldest aunt and three brothers in turn, and finally bowing to his eldest and second sisters-in-law, saying, "Take care on your journey!"

Following suit, Xi Mei, with red eyes and choked sobs, said, "Uncle, Aunt, please take care on your journey!"

Li Delong's eyes, which he had just wiped clean, reddened again. He nodded emphatically and said, "Alright, take care! Ximei, come visit your uncle with your brother after the New Year. Your uncle is waiting for you!"

Cao's several wives and concubines hugged Xi Mei tightly, unwilling to let go.

Li Weizhou urged them on, saying, "Let's go, let's go. Don't be late for the next post station. It would be terrible to have to camp out in the wilderness if we're late. We have a whole family to take care of."

He then handed his large bag to Li Chang'an.

Li Chang'an's expression changed as he took it, and he said, "It's so heavy!"

Li Weizhou didn't explain, but said, "Keep it safe and look at it slowly on the way. Hurry up and be careful on the road."

The group said no more words, bid farewell once more, and those who got into carriages got into carriages, while those who rode horses rode horses.

Zhao Yuanzhi said to Li Weizhou, "Third Brother, we'll be waiting for you in the capital."

Li Weizhou gave an OK sign and said, "No problem."

Zhao Yuanzhi chuckled and nodded, while Zhang Wanyi said in a clear voice, "Third Brother, take care. If anything happens, you can send a message to the Northern Frontier General's Mansion. My fourth uncle has been transferred there, and I have already written to him with his instructions."

Li Weizhou nodded in agreement, but Zhao Yuanzhi's eyes widened in disbelief as she stared at Zhang Wanyi, as if she had been betrayed.

Li Changning dared not utter another word. He stepped forward and gave his brother a tight hug, not daring to say another word, and urged the two of them to hurry on their way.

The excitement will eventually fade away, and despite all the farewells, we must eventually part ways.

As the carriages and horses gradually disappeared into the distance, Ximei, who had finally received some affection from her elders, hugged her brother's waist and began to sob.

Li Weizhou stroked his younger sister's head and said gently, "Why don't you go to the capital with your uncle and the others? I'll come to see you in a few days, really, I'm not lying to you."

Xi Mei shook her head repeatedly and said, "No, my brother and I... I'm just a little sad, not that I can't bear to part with him."

Li Weizhou smiled and said, "It's okay if you're reluctant to part with it; it's only human nature."

Xi Mei stopped crying, looked up at Li Weizhou and asked, "Brother, shall we move in today?"

Li Weizhou hesitated and said, "Actually, it's fine if we don't move."

Xi Mei blushed slightly and whispered, "Brother, let's move here. The old house is a bit too small... Xiao Bei said she can't sleep at night and keeps getting woken up, from night to morning..."

"..."

Li Weizhou rarely blushed so much, but he gritted his teeth and said, "Move! Move today!! From now on, you'll live in the east courtyard, and I'll live in the west courtyard!"

He refused to believe that someone so far away could hear anything!

……

"Miss has been in a bad mood these past few days, so you all should keep her company."

While Ximei ran off to the East Courtyard to choose a room, Li Weizhou left Xiaodong behind and gave him some instructions.

Xiao Dong had an idea and said, "Master, how about this... The other day, Mr. Gu sent someone to deliver a letter saying that three more girls with martial arts skills have been found. He asked them to send them over, and we can pick another one, Xiao Nan?"

Li Weizhou laughed and said, "Good idea. It's never good to be missing one person. You should tell them to send the person over. Later, I'll have Madam teach you a combined sword formation that's incredibly powerful."

Xiao Dong smiled, bowed to Li Weizhou again, and then went to chase after Xi Mei.

Li Weizhou then looked at the gatehouse of what could be called the most luxurious mansion in Qingzhou City, nodded, and felt that this house was indeed worthy of him and could accommodate many shrines.

After having the shop assistants at Baibaolou disassemble the large cart left by his uncle's family and have the manager arrange for it to be sent to the warehouse, he turned and went to Zuixianglou.

……

The departure of his loved ones still made Li Weizhou somewhat sad.

Upon arriving at the entrance of Zuixianlou, Li Weizhou glanced at the arm dangling from the doorway, then at the four Shangqing Palace disciples guarding the area not far away. All three looked at him with hatred but dared not look him in the eye, which improved Li Weizhou's mood somewhat.

Another one looked at Li Weizhou with a pleading expression, but that was no use.

This arm was a favor to Qi Zhenkun, and also a way to "repay" him. After all, he personally delivered it to Shangqing Palace, and it had passed through his hands once... well, that would always make him a suspect.

Anyway, Li Weizhou didn't plan to practice swordsmanship; he only practiced sword body techniques...

After knocking on the door and introducing himself, Yanxue opened it with a look of delight, saying, "Young master, you've arrived!"

Li Weizhou smiled and nodded, glancing at Chu Mengjun, who was sitting in the seat that Feng Biwu usually occupied in the main hall. He chuckled and said, "So you're the boss here now?"

Chu Mengjun was still smug: "If I were the boss here, we wouldn't be closing down so soon."

Li Weizhou nodded, gave a thumbs-up, and praised, "Yes, you are much more capable."

Chu Mengjun wasn't stupid; how could she not tell the difference between good and bad words? She glanced at Bai Liweizhou and said, "Your wife has broken through?"

Li Weizhou chuckled and nodded, saying, "The aura is already very strong; it should only take about the next day or two. I'll go back and keep watch in a bit."

Chu Mengjun said sourly, "You're really good to Feng Biwu. Even at this time, you still went out of your way to come over."

Li Weizhou didn't answer. He suddenly looked up at the building and saw Feng Biwu wearing the same moon-white gauze dress she had worn when they first met. The hair ornament she wore that day, adorned with kingfisher feathers and pearls, swayed gently as she descended the stairs.

Beneath her willow-leaf eyebrows, her phoenix eyes slanted slightly upwards at the corners, and her smiling gaze still held the gentle spring waters of Jiangnan in March.

The rouge on her lips was three times more intense than usual, a fiery crimson that contrasted sharply with her fair, snow-white face.

However, unlike her usual icy demeanor, she smiled radiantly today, revealing pearly white teeth and exuding an indescribable charm in every corner of her eyes and brows.

With a graceful figure, a slender waist, and a broad chest, her hips sway with the allure of a mature woman!
Li Weizhou's eyes were truly filled with affection.

As a woman herself, and as a martial artist who had broken through six levels, Chu Mengjun naturally knew that something unexpected must have happened when she saw such an obvious change.

A deep unease arose in her heart, as if something had happened that she didn't know about.

Otherwise, why would this cold and aloof woman, who is renowned in the martial arts world and has killed countless people, be laughing like this right now?
Chu Mengjun stared intently at Feng Biwu as she descended the stairs. She prided herself on her beauty, which was second to none, but looking at Feng Biwu's face, which was as beautiful as a peony, she couldn't help but feel intimidated. Before she could even bolster her courage, she suddenly froze, as if struck by lightning.

This was because Feng Biwu was barefoot, her feet touching the ground as if walking on lotus blossoms, untouched by dust, as if floating in the air...

"you……"

"You...you've broken through?!"

Chu Mengjun looked at Feng Biwu as if she had seen a ghost and asked in a trembling voice.

The longer one is shackled by the Dragon Gate, the harder it is to leap over it.

Feng Biwu has been delayed for nearly ten years, and she's a woman again...

How could this be? !
Li Weizhou, standing to the side, looked even more surprised than her and exclaimed, "What?! Sister Feng, you've broken through?! Weren't you almost killed by Xiao Yichen of the Shangqing Palace?"

Feng Biwu glanced over, a smile in her eyes, and nodded slightly, saying, "Yes, thanks to his palm strike, I turned misfortune into blessing, achieving profound enlightenment on the brink of life and death, and seeing the key to enlightenment. I also thank Chu Huakui for protecting me... How about this, I'll strike you with my palm, so you can also gain some enlightenment on the brink of life and death, what do you say?"

Chu Mengjun's brain probably went blank, and she actually hesitated. Fortunately, Yanxue quickly persuaded her, "Miss, so many martial artists who have broken through the sixth level have died in the martial arts world, and I haven't seen many of them be able to leap over the dragon gate."

Chu Mengjun suddenly realized what was happening, glared at Feng Biwu, and then turned to look at Li Weizhou. She felt that something was amiss.

What a coincidence?
It's already a rare feat for one female warrior to leap over the dragon gate, but for two in a row...

Li Weizhou said cheerfully, "Since Sister Feng is all better, then you should go back." He then asked Yanxue, "Little Xue'er, will you stay here to sing for me, or go back with your young lady?"

Yanxue hesitated for a moment, then said, "I'll go back with Miss. Young Master, if you want to hear me sing, I'll come to your residence to sing later when the mistress comes out of seclusion. Or you can come to the house on West Street to listen whenever you have free time."

Li Weizhou, seeing that he was no longer unhappy, nodded and smiled, "Okay, then you can go first."

Yanxue pulled Chu Mengjun, who was still in shock, away.

After the two left, Li Weizhou stepped forward and picked up Feng Biwu around the waist, exclaiming in alarm, "Sister Feng, why did you get down? Your injury hasn't fully healed yet, and you still need to strengthen your foundation. You can't do this, you can't do this! Go back inside quickly!"

Wanwan, who was leaning against the railing on the second floor watching the commotion, spat lightly and muttered under her breath, "Adulterers."

Then she saw both of their eyes sweep over her at the same time, which startled her so much that she quickly closed her still swollen eyes.

Feng Biwu snorted, but her gaze toward Li Weizhou was also somewhat surprised.

At this distance and with such a low volume, an ordinary martial artist wouldn't be able to hear it...

Li Weizhou didn't explain for the time being, and went back to his room, placing the beauty back on the table...

……

"Sister Feng, you don't think I'm just attracted to your good looks, do you?"

After several trials and tribulations, Li Weizhou asked in a serious tone.

Feng Biwu, too lazy to move a finger, leaned against the side of the four-poster bed and looked at Li Weizhou, saying, "I'm happy if you're willing to indulge in it."

Actually, I wasn't that happy. I was just calling someone my darling...

Li Weizhou asked seriously, "Sister Feng, do you know about the Hidden God Palace?"

Feng Biwu was taken aback upon hearing this, her eyes narrowed slightly, and after thinking for a moment, she nodded and said, "I've heard of it. It's a place even more legendary than the place where one can leap over the Dragon Gate and open the Mysterious Pass. It's a legend."

Li Weizhou said, “It’s not a legend, it truly exists, and it was said by Situ Qingyue herself. She’s been stuck at the seventh level all this time, trying to find this mysterious acupoint in the human body. That way, she’ll definitely be selected at the Ascension Gathering at Dayuan Mountain three years later. I was thinking, since our love as husband and wife can help us discover the Mysterious Pass, could it also help us discover the Hidden Divine Palace? The Hidden Divine Palace is the 366th acupoint in the human body, and I estimate it might be hidden deep within the soul, mysterious and profound. Just thinking about it won’t open it. So I was thinking, could we try this method? But whether this method succeeds or not, we can’t tell anyone. Otherwise, I’ll definitely be captured and exploited day and night…”

"Pfft!"

Upon hearing this, Feng Biwu, whose expression had been quite serious, burst out laughing, but quickly composed himself and nodded solemnly, saying, "I understand what you mean." Then, with a complicated expression, he said, "Such a secret, you shouldn't even tell me."

Li Weizhou shook his head and smiled, "Actually, even if the world knew, how many people could actually do it? You are willing to die for me, and I am willing to share your joys and sorrows, to support you through thick and thin, until death do us part. It's not that our feelings are so rare or great; it's just that we are both simple, selfless fools. Only such pure hearts can reach the depths of the soul. Therefore, people like us are far too few. Of course, it would be even better if outsiders didn't know about it."

Feng Biwu looked at Li Weizhou with gentle eyes and said softly, "You just said that we are a loving couple?"

Li Weizhou replied matter-of-factly, "Of course, what else can I say?"

Feng Biwu smiled contentedly, opened her arms and pulled him into her embrace, saying gently, "Just be husband and wife in your hearts, and don't mention it anymore. You love and care for me, and I'll think of you too. From now on, let's be good siblings, loving older sister and loving younger brother, which is better than countless lovers in the mortal world. I won't keep you any longer. You should go home and take care of your wife. She's at a crucial time and shouldn't be without someone by her side. Once I've consolidated my position, I'll come to your manor as a servant. When you have free time, come and sit in my room. I will respect your wife and won't make things difficult for you."

Li Weizhou smiled with satisfaction. What a good woman! He added, "I'll handle the matter of leaving the East Palace. Don't argue with them."

Feng Biwu nodded and smiled, "The Prince of Qi has done a great favor for the Crown Prince. We will trouble Princess Yi'an."

After a few tender moments of farewell, Li Weizhou finally went home at Feng Biwu's urging.

But as soon as I entered the door, my eyelids twitched.

We have guests...

A group of rough-looking men stood in the front yard.

The person in the center, if not his father-in-law Zhou Zhixian, then who is he?

"Father-in-law, you're back!"

Li Weizhou stepped forward a few steps, bowing with a face full of surprise.

Seeing the strange expressions on the faces of the people in the escort agency, and their unfriendly stares at him, he showed no intention of explaining anything.

So what if she smells of perfume? The Yue family is the maternal family, what right do they have to interfere?
Of course, out of politeness, he mentioned it, saying, "I just came back from Zuixianglou. You all know her, the one known as Biwujun. She just passed the Dragon Gate and became a Martial Grandmaster of the Upper Three Passes. I plan to invite her back as a retainer." Then, without giving them a chance to speak, he said to Zhou Zhixian, "Father-in-law, please come inside with me. The leader of the Demonic Sect said something before he died, and I need to talk to you about it."

Having said that, he flicked his sleeves and entered the inner courtyard first.

Zhou Zhixian's expression changed slightly, and the other burly men also lost their bravado, exchanging bewildered glances.

The seemingly weak-looking man who had previously reprimanded Guan Cheng said softly, "Head镖师, your son-in-law is no ordinary person. Don't hold back, just say what you mean. At least he treats Miss very well."

A burly man nearby whispered angrily, "If he dares to look down on Yue Niang, I will never forgive him!"

The frail-looking man retorted, "It's their private matter, what business is it of yours? Yue Niang is about to become a Martial Grandmaster, who can bully her now?"

Zhou Zhi nodded and said, "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."

Damn it, this brat dared to mess with him, so he's shown his true colors.

Let's see who has a fairer complexion.

P.S.: 10,000-word update, please vote with monthly tickets!

Just to clarify, I won't randomly pursue any women. Since we're still relatively new characters, the relationships will be more genuine, and the important characters will progress together. It won't be like chewed sugarcane – tasteless and forgotten after a few encounters. The protagonist is rather reserved with his feelings; he won't pursue many women throughout the entire story.
