Chapter 382: Chapter 197: The Myriad Phenomena Realm Great Grandmaster Who Offers an Embrace_2
Qiu Shuhui was exquisitely beautiful, appearing to be only twenty-five or twenty-six years old, yet she emitted a captivating aura, naturally alluring, with a cold and exquisite pretty face.
Her skin was as white as snow, radiating divine light, as though covered with frost, her figure slender and graceful like Nine Heavenly Immortal Jade meticulously carved and polished.
Her three thousand strands of black hair cascaded down to her waist, her white dress purer than snow. Merely standing there, she gave Han Li a sense that she was beyond the earthly dust, holier than even a goddess—truly an unparalleled beauty.
After admiring Qiu Shuhui’s incomparable beauty, Han Li praised, “She truly is a beauty of the ages.”
Qiu Shuhui’s charm was peerless. Although she was born with enticing bones, and there was a hint of seduction in her eyes, there was not the slightest trace of worldly dust on her. She was bright and absolutely pure, possessing an inherent contrast.
“Have you made up your mind?” After offering his commentary, Han Li asked with a smile.
Han Li naturally would not refuse Qiu Shuhui’s initiative to throw herself into his arms and willingly marry into The Li Manor. It was just a casual question.
Even if Qiu Shuhui now regretted it and wanted to leave, that would no longer be possible, as the old ancestor of the Li family certainly didn’t have the habit of letting the prey at hand fly away.
“I want to break through to the True Martial Realm; does the Lord of The Li Manor have a way?”
Her gaze settled on Han Li’s handsome face, Qiu Shuhui stated bluntly.
As a Loose Cultivator with Third Grade qualifications, it had already been difficult enough for her to cultivate to the Sixth Heaven of the Myriad Phenomena Realm. Advancing further, even reaching the Seventh Heaven of the Myriad Phenomena Realm, was hard, let alone aspiring to rise to the True Martial Realm in the future.
Qiu Shuhui had long since noticed the Lord of The Li Manor, observing and waiting. After so many years, none of the Lord’s cherished wives and concubines had come to any harm; instead, their cultivation had greatly increased, which finally gave Qiu Shuhui the determination to try.
She had come to try her luck with the Lord of The Li Manor, naturally with full preparation.
If the Lord of The Li Manor had a way to help her break through to the True Martial Realm, making her an Emperor Wu powerhouse, she was willing to become his partner, one of his cherished wives.
If the Lord of The Li Manor couldn’t do that but still wanted to keep her by force, to take her without consent, then naturally she wouldn’t allow it and would immediately activate a great teleportation talisman to be instantly transported to some other place in the Xuan Domain, millions of miles away.
For the Lord of The Li Manor to find her in the vast Xuan Domain would simply be a fool’s dream.
This was one of Qiu Shuhui’s biggest trump cards. She originally had two great teleportation talismans, but had used one in the past while being chased by a True Martial Realm Emperor Wu, succeeding in her escape, so she was full of confidence.
As a Loose Cultivator, Qiu Shuhui knew all too well the pain of lacking resources for cultivation. Her chances of breaking through to the True Martial Realm were not high, even with her Third Grade qualifications, unless she had a large number of resources to support her cultivation.
If she wanted to shorten the cultivation time, she would need to go on adventures and seek great opportunities, but that was incredibly risky, and it was easy to die during such endeavors.
Qiu Shuhui had made her determination this time because she had gone on an adventure not long ago to compete for an opportunity, and having failed, she barely escaped capture by a True Martial Realm cultivator from the demonic path—a fate that would have surely been dire.
After her narrow escape, Qiu Shuhui decided to try her luck with the Lord of The Li Manor, seeing it as a shortcut.
If she wanted to take the shortcut offered by the Lord of The Li Manor, she naturally had to let him take her shortcut first.
Otherwise, why would the Lord of The Li Manor help her ascend to the True Martial Realm?
Having wandered the Cultivation Realm for hundreds of years, Qiu Shuhui understood this principle well.
“There are many ways, and for me, it isn’t difficult,” Han Li said with a smile, speaking as straightforwardly as she had.
Qiu Shuhui’s eyes brightened, and she breathed a sigh of relief. Having a way was good.
“Would the Lord of The Li Manor care to elaborate?” Qiu Shuhui asked once more.
“Given that you’ve offered yourself to me, the old ancestor naturally would not refuse,” Han Li replied.
After speaking, Han Li flipped his palm, and a Jade Vial appeared in his hand.
With a casual toss, Han Li threw it to Qiu Shuhui and said indifferently, “Take a look.”
Qiu Shuhui was momentarily stunned but still caught the vial promptly. Upon opening it and seeing the contents, she was shocked, her pretty face frozen and her eyes filled with disbelief.
She blinked at Han Li, wanting to ask if this was really the pill she knew of. But the fragrance of the pill and its shape all matched the Divine Pill she had dreamt of obtaining.
True Martial Pill!
This was a heaven-defying pill that could help a Great Grandmaster of the Myriad Phenomena Realm break through to the True Martial Realm and potentially even increase the grade of their Martial True Pill by one to three grades.
The Divine Pill she had longed for—was the Lord of The Li Manor simply tossing it to her like throwing away trash?
The dramatic shift in atmosphere greatly shook Qiu Shuhui’s Daoist heart, and at that moment, she found that The Li Manor Lord seemed quite different from the rumors outside.
Qiu Shuhui even entertained the thought of immediately activating the great movement talisman to escape, knowing that if she could successfully flee, and once she reached the peak of the Myriad Phenomena Realm, she was sure to advance to the True Martial Realm with the aid of this True Martial Pill—using her talents, she was bound to ascend to a generation’s Emperor Wu.
But Qiu Shuhui forcefully suppressed this idea. On one hand, she feared the Manor Lord’s strength; he had given her the pill so effortlessly that it could either be a fake True Martial Pill, or his power might be much greater than she had imagined, not fearing her taking the pill and running away.
On the other hand, Qiu Shuhui valued keeping promises. She had her principles; if the Li Manor Lord treated her with a sincere heart, she would not walk away, but instead become his Dao companion.
The Manor Lord of the Li Manor was not a demon nor an old man. He was good-looking, powerful, and held a high status and identity—the best choice for her.
“Very good.”
All of Qiu Shuhui’s reactions, even her thoughts, were known to Han Li; there were no secrets before him.
“If you attempt to escape using the great movement talisman, not only will you lose the True Martial Pill, but you’ll also become a mere slave to this old ancestor,” Han Li said indifferently.
Qiu Shuhui’s expression briefly changed, then she regained her composure.
Indeed, The Li Manor Lord was even more powerful than she had imagined; he was able to detect her deeply hidden great movement talisman. Fortunately, she had no intention of running away, or it really would have been a disaster.
After a moment of hesitation, Qiu Shuhui called out, “Husband~”
She was very sensible. Her purpose here was simple: to seek an opportunity to break through to the True Martial Realm. Since the Manor Lord had provided that opportunity, then she was his Dao companion.
“You’re not bad,” Han Li praised.
He beckoned, and after only a slight hesitation, Qiu Shuhui walked over and sat on Han Li’s thigh.
Han Li wanted to climb steep mountains and wade through muddy waters, and Qiu Shuhui did not stop him, though her delicate body trembled slightly.
Holding Qiu Shuhui in his arms, Han Li captured her cold yet exquisite lips, tasting them. He was slightly taken aback by her naive response.
“Before me, how many Dao companions did you have?” Han Li asked lightly.
He could see that Qiu Shuhui was a Loose Cultivator, and it was extremely difficult for such a person to reach the grandmaster level of the Myriad Phenomena Realm. He had thought she must have had numerous companions, but her naive demeanor suggested otherwise.
“None,” Qiu Shuhui shook her head.
She was not originally a Cultivator from the Da Qian Empire; she always stayed in the Da Liang Empire. Later, in search of a breakthrough to the True Martial Realm, she traveled all the way to the Da Qian Empire.
Over hundreds of years, indeed many had pursued her, but Qiu Shuhui did not take any of them seriously. She was very pragmatic, wanting to find a powerful Dao companion, definitely someone who could offer her immense help.
Qiu Shuhui never believed in love. Over the years, she had seen plenty, both in the Mortal World and the Cultivation Realm. Love was worthless and easily betrayed.
Worried that The Li Manor Lord might not believe her, Qiu Shuhui paused before adding, “My Yuan Yin is still intact; you are absolutely the first to possess my body, and you will also be the first and the last in the end.”
Han Li nodded slightly, a smile emerging on his face—he would find out whether it was true that night.
Having acquired such an exceptionally enchanting woman, naturally, Han Li was in no hurry to return to the Han Mansion. He simply extended his Divine Sense over to Chengsheng Mountain to inform the wives and concubines at the Han Mansion, and then disappeared with Qiu Shuhui from the Chong Xiao Pavilion.
Since Qiu Shuhui, the extraordinary beauty, had willingly thrown herself into his arms, the old ancestor warmly accepted her, quite passionately.
That night, the old ancestor savored the taste of a naturally seductive beauty.
It must be said, it was extremely good.
Qiu Shuhui provided Han Li with an excellent experience; not only was it her first time, but she also did not refuse any of Han Li’s requests, allowing for free change of positions.
The greatly invigorated old ancestor energetically battled until dawn, succeeded in five rounds, and experienced various ‘first times’ with Qiu Shuhui, who always welcomed him with open arms.
The next day, Han Li held a grand wedding ceremony at The Li Manor, formally taking Qiu Shuhui as his wife.
The various powers of the Capital City of the Qian Dynasty had long anticipated this and had prepared gifts in advance. As soon as the old ancestor’s wedding preparations began, they delivered their gifts.
It must be said, they were very good at flattering.
The old ancestor appreciated such perceptive people and was very pleased to give them a bit of a return gift, indeed, just a bit.
