Chapter 15: Good Things Are Coming Soon

Li Daoxuan sat with two madams in the Li family's backyard, enjoying tea together.

Unable to contain his curiosity, Li Daoxuan asked, "Qing Xuan, who is this senior brother in the inner sect? Could he possibly be your admirer?"

Qing Xuan couldn't sit still and replied in a slightly annoyed tone, "He's not my admirer at all. That guy is an idiot who deserves a good beating!"

Li Daoxuan was puzzled and questioned further, "I don't understand one thing. We just had our wedding, so how did they find out so quickly and come knocking on our door so soon?"

Avoiding Li Daoxuan's gaze, Qing Xuan's eyes darted around. As a clever girl, she had long figured out the truth: her own father had leaked the news, meaning her father was meddling.

"Senior... Senior brother, it seems my father accidentally leaked the news."

"Hahaha... I thought so! It must be your father-in-law!"

Feeling guilty, Qing Xuan apologized, "I'm sorry, senior brother!"

Li Daoxuan wasn't upset at all. Understanding the situation well, he waved his hand with a smile, "Little junior sister, there's no need to apologize. Your father-in-law has good intentions."

"Huh?"

Li Daoxuan continued thoughtfully, "Your father-in-law is giving me experience! You could say it's a test, urging me to become stronger!"

Qing Xuan visibly relaxed, smiling gratefully, "I'm glad you see it that way, senior brother."

"Could you tell me more about this senior brother in the inner sect so I can be prepared?"

Qing Xuan's impression of the so-called senior brother wasn't favorable. She furrowed her brows and explained, "The senior brother in the inner sect is Wang Teng..."

"Wang Teng?" Li Daoxuan couldn't help but exclaim.

Su Youruo and Qing Xuan exchanged puzzled glances.

"What's wrong? Is there something about Wang Teng?"

"No, please continue."

"The elders in Wang Teng's family are acquainted with the elders in my family, so they proposed we become Dao companions."

"But I really dislike Wang Teng. He's arrogant, conceited, ruthless, and cruel!"

Li Daoxuan probed further, "How strong is he?"

Qing Xuan gave Li Daoxuan a playful look and said, "At least he's at the peak of the Gold Core stage."

"It's said that he's closed himself off, boasting that he won't emerge until he reaches the Nascent Soul stage!"

"Wow, he's that powerful?"

Qing Xuan shrugged helplessly, "This guy is quite arrogant, but his strength is undeniably formidable."

"His talent rivals mine."

"Therefore, senior brother, you must work hard. The next person knocking at our door might be Wang Teng!"

Li Daoxuan remembered Wang Teng's name but couldn't help quipping, "Does Wang Teng's father have a catchphrase?"

"A catchphrase?"

Li Daoxuan barely suppressed his laughter, saying, "Doesn't his father often boast, 'My son Wang Teng has the potential to become an immortal'?"

"Cough cough~ Hahaha..."

Li Daoxuan burst into laughter, leaving Su Youruo and Qing Xuan perplexed.

"Senior brother, you're still laughing. Shouldn't you hurry up and cultivate in seclusion? I can't protect you from Wang Teng."

"Hmm! I do need to enhance my strength. Let's go!"

"Ah~ Bad senior brother, why are you hugging me? Aren't you going to cultivate in seclusion?"

Cultivating in seclusion was impossible because he had a faster method of improving his cultivation.

After that, the Li family didn't encounter any more troublemakers at their doorstep, but their reputation had already spread throughout Heavenly River City and beyond at an astonishing speed.

Li Daoxuan also wasn't idle. He was busy making babies.

Especially when Su Youruo's body was well-nurtured, she also participated.

The only thing Li Daoxuan regretted was not having both women by his side to share the joy of having multiple partners.

One day, Li Daoxuan sensed an unusual atmosphere at home.

"Ladies, why do you all look so worried? Tell me, and I'll help you solve it."

"Husband, I... I'm pregnant again," Su Youruo said helplessly. She had given birth not long ago, and yet she was already pregnant again.

"Senior Brother, I'm also pregnant, but I'm a little scared."

"Ah! You're both pregnant, that's great! Hahaha... Qing Xuan, don't worry, we will take good care of you."

Soon, everyone in the Li family knew their master was going to be a father again, and Li Daoxuan had some time to rest.

Li Daoxuan decided to use the resources at his disposal. Qing Xuan understood that her senior brother wanted to cultivate, so she brought out her own resources.

Li Daoxuan didn't stay in seclusion for more than a day before coming out again.

Most of the spiritual stones and elixirs in his possession were used up, and his strength smoothly reached the mid-stage of Foundation Building.

"Senior Brother, you emerged from seclusion so quickly?"

"Hehe! Yes, I made a breakthrough in strength, so I came out of seclusion. But mainly, I couldn't bear to leave you two alone."

The two ladies focused on nurturing their pregnancies. They also considered Li Daoxuan and asked if he wanted to take in Xiao Yu and Xiao Man as well.

Li Daoxuan flatly refused! After finally getting a chance to rest, Li Daoxuan didn't want to exhaust himself.

Moreover, Li Daoxuan had raised his standards. Ordinary women no longer caught his attention.

Of course, there was an exception. If a woman was truly stunning and captivating, he might consider marrying her.

...

In the palace of the Great Zhou Kingdom, a figure dressed in dragon robes exuded a powerful and domineering aura as he shouted towards the shadows.

"Imperial Shadow Guard, any news?"

"Your Majesty, the news has arrived."

"Show it to me!"

The person was Emperor Ji Mingkong of the Great Zhou Kingdom, and the Imperial Shadow Guard was responsible for monitoring cultivators within the kingdom.

Ji Mingkong took the secret letter and carefully read it. As he read, he muttered to himself, "A formidable cultivator has emerged in Heavenly River City?"

"Yes, a Foundation Building Stage cultivator."

"Heavenly Dao Sect, Li Daoxuan. Interesting."

The royal family of the Great Zhou Kingdom valued cultivators highly. Generally, they sought to win them over. If unsuccessful, they preferred to eliminate them if necessary.

After pondering for a while, Ji Mingkong suddenly remembered he had a daughter.

As for her age and appearance, he had no recollection.

"Summon the Ninth Princess to see me!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Hehe! The Ninth Princess, without a title, without luxurious clothes and food, was like a transparent existence in the palace.

After a long time, a woman dressed plainly, without makeup, cautiously walked over.

Throughout the entire process, she didn't dare to raise her head.

"Greetings, Your Majesty!"

"Are you Little Nine? Look up."

The Ninth Princess trembled as she raised her head, her stunning natural beauty radiating endless brilliance.

After seeing her face clearly, Ji Mingkong's eyes lit up. He had made up his mind!

"Little Nine! Father has neglected you. Have you ever resented me?"

"No... I haven't!"

"How old are you now?"

"Twenty-three!"

"Father will arrange a marriage for you. What do you think?"

The Ninth Princess blinked, her expression complex. Perhaps leaving this cold palace was a good thing.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
