Fake Husband of the Glamorous CEO-Chapter 557: Look how others pamper their wives

Outside the domain.

On the Ma Family Ancestral Mansion Planet.

Clan Leader Ma Yuntao closed his eyes in meditation, hearing his Elder brother stepping forward to discuss a matter with him.

"Big brother, do you still remember the event a dozen years ago when our younger members annihilated the Jiang family of the Lower Plane over a resource conflict?"

Ma Yuntao kept his eyes tightly closed, communicating with his brother through Divine Sense, "I don’t remember, just tell me what has happened."

In the Cultivation World, where deception was common and families often made enemies over resources, any adversary deemed insignificant by Ma Yuntao was not worthy of his memory.

Engaged in cultivation and breakthroughs daily, who would bother with such trivialities?

And matters that were too trivial to concern him would hardly ever escalate to the point of alerting him.

The Jiang family was one such case.

"Back then, our juniors slaughtered a family with merely 7th and 8th Layer Cultivation Levels, and now, coincidentally, the surviving trio from the Jiang family gave birth to a daughter, who has married as a concubine into the Gu family that we currently hold a grudge against. The hot topic recently about the Fulman family navigating through a Secret Realm, it was this Jiang family that sought their help. Presently, the Jiang family has received a Supreme Level Secret Technique from the Fulman family and, given time, they may become a potential threat."

Ma Yuntao said, "If the Jiang family truly had the ability to seek help, they would have done so years ago. This aid must be from the Gu family. It seems our conjecture is correct; the Gu family dared to annihilate the Murong family this time, surely backed by a powerful supporter."

Elder brother: "Big brother, during your recent visit to Emperor Zhang, did you find out any useful information?"

Ma Yuntao: "The person who eliminated the 19th Layer Heaven Clan Leader of the Murong family was not Emperor Zhang, but someone else."

Elder brother was slightly pleased, "So, the rumor that Emperor Zhang supports the Gu family is not true? Can we make a move against the Gu family now?"

"Not yet," Ma Yuntao, still with eyes shut, replied only through Divine Sense, "This time, Emperor Zhang and his cohort of experts could enter the Sixth Plate world without breaking through to the 29th Layer Heaven Realm, indeed by using a fragment of the Taoist Ancestor Compass gifted by the Gu family. Therefore, Emperor Zhang has decreed, no family may attack the Gu family for a thousand years."

The Elder brother clenched his fist in anger.

He was eager to start a war with the Gu family and take back the Earth enterprises.

Fortunately, with their family wealth accumulated over thousands of years and reserves of hundreds of billions of Spirit Stones, else the annual expenditure of over 50 billion Spirit Stones to sustain the consumption of one hundred thousand Cultivators would indeed be somewhat burdensome.

But these reserves were only enough for the family’s operations for about twenty to thirty years, and to avoid future problems, the family had long since wanted to start a war to reclaim the Earth enterprises.

"Let’s endure it a little longer," Ma Yuntao remained unflustered, "The Gu family can’t hide on Earth forever without coming out to cultivate. Let our family members keep searching. Once we find the Cultivation Planet of the Gu family, we can take a more active stance."

"To reclaim the Earth enterprises, it doesn’t depend on whether we can kill the Gu family, but rather we need to extract from them the Secret Technique to break the Earth’s restrictions. Otherwise, if we thoroughly wear out the Gu family, other families would come to snatch the Earth resources."

Without the Gu family’s ability to ignore the restrictions, any Cultivator family would be at an equal footing with a Middle-stage Core Formation strength.

At that time, if what mattered was the depth of Secret Technique cultivation, any family above the 23rd Layer Heaven would have more strength to take over Earth than the Ma family!

So, it’s not so much about annihilating the Gu family, but rather about figuring out how to obtain the Secret Technique to be unrestricted by Earth’s prohibitions.

"As for the Jiang family you mentioned, take direct action if there’s an opportunity, without any reservations. If the Gu family goes to war over a concubine, we can simply offer a junior life for life; however, the Gu family would end up wasting the favor of Emperor Zhang because of it."

"When we have determined the location of the Gu family’s main base planet, when the time comes, we will strike first and report later!"

Elder brother listened to the words of the Clan Leader and his eyes lit up slightly with joy: "Yes, big brother, I know what to do now. It just so happens that I found out that woman from the Jiang Family dared to enter the Original World to cultivate. Although we can’t kill her actual body by mistake, we can repeatedly clear out her backpack and disrupt her cultivation. If her family really dares to leave Earth and head to the star system, we will also send assassins to ambush her."

Ma Yuntao continued in his closed-off meditation without speaking.

His Elder brother, however, left Ma Yuntao’s Cave Mansion. 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

Elsewhere.

Jiang Dad and Mrs. Jiang, being at the Nascent Soul Fourth Layer Heaven Early Stage, had just received the Fulman family’s Secret Technique and were in urgent need of entering into cultivation.

However, the Earth’s realm restrictions prevented their cultivation.

They must leave the Earth’s restrictive influence to practice.

But, the couple was afraid that once they went out to the star system, they would be targeted since the entire Cultivation World knew the Fulman family had given their Secret Technique to the Jiang Family.

If they were recognized, it would be very dangerous.

Thus, they could only conveniently enter the Original World following their daughter, Jiang Ruolin.

Moreover, they were inside the Cave Mansion left behind by a Cultivator from the Ten Layers of Heaven that Gu Feng had previously found for Jiang Ruolin.

Jiang Dad looked around the Cave Mansion and its spiritual energy field environment, clicking his tongue in appreciation: "Indeed, the spiritual power nurturing field of a higher-dimensional Cave Mansion is different. Our former company’s chairman, a peak expert of the Sixth Layer Heaven, reportedly rents a cultivation environment from a Seventh Layer Heaven Cave Mansion in the Original World, costing 2 million Spirit Stones a month."

Mrs. Jiang also took a turn inside the Cave Mansion and, feeling the dense spiritual energy, curiously asked her daughter: "This is my first time experiencing the cultivation environment of the Ten Layers Heaven Cave Mansion. It is truly unlike any other, and it seems that compared to the Fourth Layer Heaven environment, the daily enhancement here is tens to hundreds of times greater."

"My girl, how much is the daily rent here?" Both parents asked Jiang Ruolin curiously.

"It’s free." Jiang Ruolin said: "Gu Feng helped me seize it."

"Seize it?" The parents became somewhat anxious: "Then this place isn’t very safe. If you’ve seized an unclaimed and unaffiliated Cave Mansion, other Cultivators would covet it. The three of us staying here might not be able to defend it."

Jiang Ruolin was quite relaxed: "At first, I was also worried. But later, Gu Feng stood guard for me and repelled wave after wave of Cultivators from the Ten Layers of Heaven who had designs on it. Some of those Magical Treasures are actually drops from them, some being their Life-bound Magical Treasures. Those who were willing to pay to retrieve them did so, and the ones who didn’t come to reclaim them Gu Feng gave to me."

"After I went into meditation later, no one else came again. Some even applied to pay to squat here, offering me 15 million Spirit Stones a month, but Gu Feng refused."

Hearing the price, both parents’ eyes widened: "This price is good. This is so profitable! No wonder all the Cave Mansions in the Original World are monopolized by the major families. These Cave Mansions really do make money."

Jiang Dad also asked: "How many people can it supply at one time here?"

Jiang Ruolin: "If it’s for Cultivators from the Ten Layers of Heaven, it can satisfy 5 people in a day. If it’s for low-level Cultivators, then even more."

"Tsk tsk, then even if we take five people’s quota per day, that’s an income of 75 million Spirit Stones a month, almost breaking 1 billion income for the whole year, and it’s enough to sustain a family with at least a scale of a thousand people!"

Mrs. Jiang was curious: "Why refuse? You’re one person, and there are 4 spots wasted."

Jiang Ruolin said with a sweet blush on her face: "He said he doesn’t like me staying in a Cave Mansion and cultivating with other Cultivators. He simply doesn’t care about the money."

After listening, Mrs. Jiang turned to look at her husband fiercely and indignantly: "Look at that, see how Gu Feng cherishes his fiancée?"

Jiang Dad was both crying and laughing.
