I Only Marry Widows-Chapter 167 - 132: Taking Three Women in Succession, Returning to Yun Cang
After taking in three concubines and receiving gifts from Li Chungen and a master of casting, his spiritual will was bathed and naturally improved.
Coupled with Zhu Yuxian’s tempering, he finally achieved a breakthrough.
Although he had just broken through to the Twenty-Seventh Layer, it also meant that Lu Chengfeng was not far from condensing the second Law Intent Talisman.
Unlike others, he would not be stuck at the Twenty-Seventh Layer, nor would he face any so-called bottleneck. As long as his spiritual will was strong enough, with the corresponding resources, he could naturally cultivate the Red Dragon Law Intent.
After all, the ancestor of the Zhao Family had already refined Law Intent with this Divine Skill. If he had not lacked profound understanding, causing difficulty in forming it through gifting like Xun Shuijing’s Great Five Elements Extinction Divine Light Sword, it would not have been so troublesome.
Fortunately for Lu Chengfeng, this was also a rare tempering. As long as he could smoothly transform the Red Dragon True Intent into Law Intent, he would be able to make up for his shortcomings in spiritual will, no longer inferior to other experts of the same level.
When Lu Chengfeng and Zhu Yuxian returned to Yun Cang Mountain, it was already July, right at the height of summer.
Lu Chengfeng gazed at the mountain gate from afar, feeling a sense of dislocation, as if it had been a lifetime. At the beginning of the year, he had descended the mountain without yet having condensed Sword Intent. In just a few short months, he had practiced two Divine Skills, achieved Half-Step Celestial Human, and shook the world in the guise of Zhao Tianyou, founding a sect on Jade Dragon Mountain.
He had even married Zhu Yuxian and taken in three concubines, amassing more and more women.
He was no longer that cautious Outer Peak disciple on Bixiao Peak but a Half-Step Celestial Human qualified to influence the world’s great things.
Countless memories surged through his mind, and Lu Chengfeng felt that the past half-year seemed like a very long time.
He sighed slightly, murmuring, "I wonder what the situation on the mountain is now?"
Zhu Yuxian coldly glanced at him, "Don’t you have a childhood sweetheart junior sister on the mountain? What are you doing dazing here? After all this time, aren’t you going to rush to pour your heart out and flirt affectionately?"
Maybe because of her childhood experiences, she was inherently dissatisfied with Lu Chengfeng’s womanizing and gathering of wives and concubines. Not to mention, they had privately agreed to a lifetime together, making her even more irritated. When her temper flared, she wanted to beat him up.
Lu Chengfeng was helpless against her; even wielding the Great Five Elements Extinction Divine Light Sword, he couldn’t truly strike her down in one blow, and without using this Divine Skill, he wasn’t her match. The journey had been truly challenging.
"My dear wife, the reason I married so many wives and concubines was truly for practicing martial arts, absolutely not because of licentiousness!"
"Oh, if it’s truly for martial arts practice, then why did you choose the most beautiful one among Li Chungen’s concubines? And among the casting master Xie Feng’s numerous concubines from the Li Family, why precisely take the twins?"
Zhu Yuxian looked at him with utmost disdain, "Being licentious is one thing, but not even admitting it? You’re truly a cowardly loser, beneath contempt."
Lu Chengfeng felt a bit embarrassed, coldly snorted, and said, "If you accompany me to the bridal chamber tonight, I’ll henceforth favor only you, how about that?!"
Zhu Yuxian raised her right hand and shook her white, tender fist, "Looks like you haven’t been beaten enough. These sweet words, save them for the women vying and competing—they might fall for them, but do you really think I would?"
She disdainfully said, "You’re inherently licentious yet pretend to be chivalrous, wanting to give a little more heart to every woman. I wonder how much truth will be left when your wives and concubines increase in number."
Lu Chengfeng found it hard to lift his head because this was indeed reality; he was, after all, somewhat lecherous by nature.
Among Li Chungen’s many concubines, there was one named Qian Niang, exceptionally beautiful, her curves almost irresistible, especially skilled in playing the flute and guqin, her prowess in these instruments was exceptional, a true expert.
When Lu Chengfeng saw her, he felt itchy and immediately granted her the status of a concubine, enjoyed her, and found it extraordinarily delightful.
As for those twins, with youthful faces and mature physiques, lying down together, they could make a man lose his senses.
Lu Chengfeng felt a strong temptation and kept them too, though in truth, just one woman was enough for gifting purposes.
"I did it for gifting, for practice, absolutely not for lust."
"Those who understand me know my worries, those who don’t understand me ask me why. Though my heart originally faced the bright moon, the red dust is turbulent, forcing me to rely on gifts to enhance my power, alas! Alas!"
He consoled himself, taking in these three women with a clear conscience, claiming it was for practice and improvement.
Unfortunately, Zhu Yuxian exposed him bluntly, making him feel awkward, as there was truth in her words.
To Luo Suyi, he was most sincere; Qiutong also held a place in his heart, but for the later concubines, he mostly coveted their beauty, unable to devote that much thought to women.
Once the gifts were digested, he’d only indulge when interested.
What Zhu Yuxian couldn’t stand was this—treating women like goods and tools for pleasure, summoning and discarding them at will, truly disgraceful.
But this world was just like that; most times, it was male supremacy, and men with many wives and concubines were common.
Of course, some accomplished women in practice also had male concubines in their quarters for pleasure.
Though she disapproved, she couldn’t resent it, having grown up seeing such things often, subconsciously accustomed and accepting. Had it not been for her mother’s incident, she wouldn’t have been so averse and opposed.
Seeing her displeased look, Lu Chengfeng awkwardly coughed and said, "Today is already the seventh of July, not many days left until the fifteenth as agreed."
"Not knowing the current situation on the mountain, I should go up first, check what’s prepared in the sect, to be prepared and not caught off guard when the time comes."
Zhu Yuxian knew he was changing the subject. However, having sorted things along the way, her anger had dissipated somewhat, so she didn’t bother bringing it up again. When she headed to Yun State to seek immortality, she wouldn’t have to see whatever mess he made.
"Let’s go, we’ll find Profound Sun first, check the situation, and then decide."
"If things can’t be done, you should leave early, don’t die in vain."
Lu Chengfeng, with a solemn tone, said, "I should be telling you this. I know you might feel guilty over Xun Shuijing. I don’t know what happened in the past, but that’s the past, survival is most important now."
"Since you seek immortality, you shouldn’t risk your life here."
"In my opinion, you shouldn’t return to Yun Cang."
"In this situation, having one more or less Half-Step Celestial Human doesn’t make much difference."
Though he spoke sincerely, the primary reason was not to let Zhu Yuxian confront the Lord of Youdu, her biological father, in a life-and-death struggle, which would be too cruel.
If she saw her half-brother and got agitated, it could trigger unforeseen changes.
No matter how strong her mindset, facing such matters, it would be hard to remain calm.
After all, Zhu Yuxian had watched her two brothers, her own mother, die one by one, all caused by her father.
How cruel this was! 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚
"Shouldn’t you leave? Please?" Lu Chengfeng looked at her, somewhat worried.
"No more needless words, my mind is made up!" Zhu Yuxian dismounted and headed towards the Inner Peak of Yun Cang Mountain.
Watching her departing figure, Lu Chengfeng sighed and had no choice but to follow.
