Concubines Lead to Strength: The Path to Immortality Begins with Taking a Spouse-Chapter 229 - 171: Sit with the Family Head? Better to Build a Young Master Palace!
Chapter 229: Chapter 171: Sit with the Family Head? Better to Build a Young Master Palace!
As Gu Changge returned to his own courtyard,
He had just pushed open the door when Wang Yue and Yuan Youbai, seeing him, were immediately filled with surprise.
“Husband has returned?”
Yuan Youbai even threw herself at him directly, hugging her husband while affectionately rubbing her head against him.
Originally moving forward to greet him, Wang Yue, upon seeing this, could only stop in her tracks; she certainly couldn’t compete with Little Hanhan for her husband’s affection.
“Husband, Grandpa Gu has just broken through to the Ninth Grade Annihilation Realm!”
“So amazing!”
“From now on, no one will dare to bully husband any longer, and no one will dare to bully Youbai either!”
Little Hanhan had been snuggling in her husband’s embrace for quite a while before she finally looked up and excitedly told him the good news.
“Indeed.”
“However, even if the old man hadn’t broken through to the Ninth Grade Annihilation Realm, no one would dare to bully you two.”
Gu Changge chuckled lightly and nodded, ruffling her head.
And don’t mention it, he had only been gone for a few days, but it seemed that the little one had grown a bit taller.
If the Dragon Clan had enough Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures to refine, their growth could indeed be very rapid.
“Eh?”
“Husband has also broken through to the Ruins Realm?”
“So impressive!”
“But Youbai feels that she’s also close to breaking through and will soon reach the Void Refinement Realm!”
Yuan Youbai suddenly sniffed with her little nose, her eyes lighting up brightly, and she spoke with some surprise.
Hearing this, Gu Changge simply smiled and said nothing.
However, Wang Yue, who had just approached her husband, stopped in her tracks.
What?
Husband had already… reached the Ruins Realm?
Wang Yue’s eyes turned complex as she looked at him, feeling happy for his breakthrough but also an inexplicable sense of crisis.
When she and her husband first became a Daoist couple, he was barely in the Sky-controlling Realm.
But at that time, she had already been at the mid-stage of the Reach Profound Realm!
In the half year that had passed, she had only recently broken through to the Ruins Realm with the help of her husband’s Supreme Mysterious Spirit Fruit!
This…
Had she unwittingly been caught up to?
For a moment, Wang Yue couldn’t help but wonder if she had been neglecting her cultivation lately.
But on second thought, she hadn’t been neglecting her cultivation at all!
Apart from the occasional indulgence when she was with her husband…
During this time, she had basically been cultivating in the courtyard every day with Yuan Youbai, the little Hanhan, not wasting much time at all.
“When I left, I gave you an elixir; why haven’t you taken it?”
Gu Changge noticed her gaze and suddenly asked.
Before he left the Gu Family and headed to the Heavenly Cold Sect over half a month ago, he had exchanged a second-grade Root Bone Pill that could increase ten points of Root Bone for Wang Yue, and he had also given her the Sudden Enlightenment Pill for the Ruins Realm that she received from the system when she broke through.
But until his return, he received no system notification, clearly indicating she had not taken either.
“I… thought the elixir was precious, so I planned to take it when I was close to breaking through,”
Wang Yue said timidly in response.
“In the future, take the elixirs I give you as soon as possible.”
“There’s no need to be frugal with elixirs; it only slows down the pace of cultivation.”
“If we run out of elixirs, I’ll find a way to get new ones for you.”
“Speaking of which…”
“I saw Qingqing, and she has already broken through to the mid-stage of the Ruins Realm.”
Gu Changge sounded somewhat helpless; conserving elixirs was well-intentioned, but it delayed cultivation. Not to mention if his wife didn’t take the elixirs, he couldn’t share the effects and rewards.
He straightforwardly mentioned Qingqing’s situation to stimulate Wang Yue a bit.
As expected, upon hearing that Liu Qingqing had already reached the mid-stage of the Ruins Realm, Wang Yue’s expression immediately froze.
Regarding her husband’s breakthrough, she could comfort herself by saying that her talent was far inferior to her husband’s, beyond comparison.
But Liu Qingqing was different; their talents were similar!
Both she and Qingqing had obtained the Acquired Spirit Body after becoming a Daoist couple with her husband.
How could she be slower than her?
Originally still intending to argue with her husband about conserving elixirs, her mindset suddenly shifted completely towards urgency!
She must diligently cultivate and make a breakthrough. Even if she lagged behind her husband, she couldn’t allow Liu Qingqing to surpass her by too much!
Among the three people around her husband now, she had the lowest realm!
That was fine before, as her husband’s realm wasn’t very high, and she didn’t feel so much crisis.
But now, with his pace of breakthroughs, it won’t be long before even Youbai can’t keep up with him!

But at the very least…
She didn’t want to be the slowest to advance among the three, becoming the one who held them back!
With that thought, she turned and walked towards the Seclusion Room without looking back.
“Ah?”
“There’s no need to be so hasty.”
Gu Changge began to speak, attempting to stop her.
Yet without turning her head back, she left him with a line, “It’s necessary to hurry! Otherwise, I’m afraid I won’t even be able to hold my place by husband’s side in the future!”
“How could that be?”
“Would I, the Young Master, change my heart just because my wife is less powerful?”
“My loyalty is well known to all!”
Gu Changge instinctively replied.
However, after hearing his words, Wang Yue’s steps quickened even more.
With a ‘bang’, she shut the door to the Seclusion Room!
“Hm?”
“Did I say something wrong?”
“I don’t think so.”
Gu Changge mumbled to himself.
“Nothing was said wrong, husband was just pointing out that sister was known to be less powerful,”
Yuan Youbai lifted her head, blinking her eyes as she looked at her husband and said.
“…” Gu Changge tugged at the corner of his mouth. Is that really what he said?
Inside the room, upon hearing Yuan Youbai’s interpretation, Wang Yue also felt her fists clench!
