The night was deep.
Even though Li An had married countless wives and concubines in his previous life, and this was not his first time, he still felt so beautiful and enjoyable this night.
When the moon fell and the Milky Way surged, he even felt that he had thrown away the mask for the first time, leaving only enjoyment and peace of mind.
He had never felt this way before.
When everything calmed down, feeling the fragrance of hair and the steady breathing beside the pillow, there was an inexplicable throbbing in his heart.
Has she guessed everything?
But she still didn't ask.
She just smiled happily, as if she had gotten what she wanted, as if she didn't ask for anything anymore.
"He is not... not, a wolf-hearted man... Master, you are wrong..."
In his sleep, Gu Hong hugged him tightly, whispered softly, with a sweet smile on her lips.
At this moment, this woman who had experienced the world seemed to have become a young girl who had just begun to fall in love.
Li An was silent for a long, long time. It was already the second half of the night, and the temperature in the air dropped. It was about to enter the midwinter season. The cold came in through the windows with red wedding characters, completely drowning the awake people.
This night was very cold and dark, as cold as Tianyang City, as dark as the boundless world of immortal cultivation.
Only the remaining red candle seemed to still have a trace of temperature and a faint light.
Li An couldn't help but subconsciously hug the person beside him, hugging him very tightly.
...
The next day.
Li An got up very early.
He counted the gifts received at the wedding banquet.
The palace and the treasure pavilion gave the most and most grand gifts, and many foundation-building forces in the city that had more dealings with the treasure pavilion were not stingy.
Total miscellaneous, the value was about 8,000 spirit stones!
This was very amazing!
For ordinary foundation-building cultivators to get two or three thousand yuan from weddings, it would be good, and that was if they had excellent connections. To put it bluntly, what everyone respected was the power in Li An's hands.
But even if all the money was converted, it was still far from enough to buy the Yuanling Pill...
"Does my husband have any unspeakable secrets and urgently need spiritual stones?"
Gu Hong also got up and personally carried a pot of spiritual tea into the study to add tea to Li An, and asked attentively.
"Yes, there are some..."
Li An sighed, "To be honest with you, I am indeed short of some..."
"How much is some? Ten thousand? Twenty thousand?"
"About... eighty or ninety thousand."
Gu Hong's beautiful eyes flashed with surprise, but she didn't show anything, just said: "My husband, don't worry too much. I was so tired last night... Pay more attention to rest."
...
At night.
Gu Hong went out during the day, and when she came back, Li An was still busy in the study.
She knocked on the door, and Li An's voice came, and she walked in.
"It's late at night, isn't my husband resting yet?" she asked. "It's still early, let's do something else."
Li An rubbed his eyes. He had been drawing talismans for a whole day and was a little tired.
"Yeah."
Gu Hong took out a storage bag and said, "Husband, this is some of my savings over the years, you can use it first."
Li An scanned with his spiritual sense and found that there were more than 40,000 spirit stones in the storage bag!
Obviously, this was all she had.
Even as an alchemist, it was not easy to accumulate so many spirit stones.
"In addition, there are some medicine materials and so on, which can be sold in exchange for some spirit stones."
She added, "Let's slowly figure out the spirit stone matter. Don't push yourself too hard... Many things can't be rushed."
She stood behind Li An and pinched his shoulders, which was considerate and virtuous.
Li An looked at the spiritual stone on the table. Even though he was devoted to Taoism and had a heart of stone, he still couldn't help but feel a little warm. He was a little dazed, and his cold heart seemed to shake slightly.
He had had many women.
But in his previous life, he was born in a family of immortals, and he was rich and prosperous. Therefore, even if the women he married were all beautiful, they were mostly attracted by his family background and future. Few of them were truly caring, let alone giving everything for him.
In this life, Tan Qingxue and he were close and even wanted to have children for him, but when Li An was at the critical moment of life and death, she would still turn around and leave without hesitation.
Husband and wife are birds of the same forest. When disaster strikes, they fly away separately. This is the true portrayal of the so-called love in the world.
The four words "life and death" are really as difficult as heaven.
In the world of immortals, calculations of interests are everywhere.
Therefore, at this moment, these spiritual stones are like stones thrown into the calm water, stirring up all the adventures that Gu Hong had experienced together, and the waves hit the rock-like Dao heart, and the sound of waves.
Li An was silent for a long time, and suddenly stood up and turned around, holding Gu Hong's waist, with his nose close to her.
"Husband, this is the study...you..."
"What about the study?"
"You...bullying people."
...
After a long time.
"Strange, I was so tired last night, but I am so energetic today..."
Gu Hong's hair was a little messy, and there was some confusion on her face.
"It's a good time to practice." Li An reminded softly.
Gu Hong seemed to understand something. She felt it from the inside, and she felt that there was a wonderful green breath in her Dantian!
That breath lingered in her Dantian, and it made her Dantian feel a slight throbbing, like a dry land encountering sweet rain. "This is..."
She was a little shocked, looking at Li An, her face was inexplicably complicated, and said: "Will this... hurt you?"
"Don't give it to me again in the future."
She gently held Li An's hand, her beautiful eyes were like waves, and she was very moved.
"Just accept what I give you... Don't worry, if you don't want it, I will overflow, and it will all be wasted. If you take it, it can beautify your face and nourish your body, isn't it good?"
Li An smiled and spoke, at this moment he seemed to have let go of his guard, and scratched Gu Hong's nose with his hand.
He couldn't sleep all night last night, thinking about it, and the original plan in his mind was constantly changing and adjusting, until today, it was finalized.
Originally, he was going to try to transfer the mysterious demonic energy in his body into Gu Hong's body.
If there is enough time and the transfer is successful, he can escape!
If there is not enough time and the evil spirit cannot be removed from his body, he will take over a concubine and escape, abandon Gu Hong, use Gu Hong to attract the enemy's attention, confuse the enemy, and create favorable conditions for his escape.
But now he decided to... give it a try.
As long as he is safe and can escape, he will try it once!
"What can beautify the face and nourish the body? It's so disgusting. You... are talking nonsense again!"
Gu Hong said coquettishly.
"By the way,"
Li An suddenly said, "Madam, I want to discuss something with you."
"I plan to take a concubine..."
Gu Hong was slightly startled, but then she said gently: "Just do whatever you want, and just tell me if you need my help."
"What kind of thing do you want? I will find the matchmaker in the city tomorrow, and I will arrange it for you."
Li An looked into her eyes. At this moment, he felt that her eyes were as gentle as the wind, which could melt everything in the world.
...
After getting Gu Hong's spiritual stones, Li An still needed 50,000 or 60,000 spiritual stones!
Even Li An, who was in such a position, had such a big gap even with such a lovely wife to help him. It was easy to imagine how difficult it was for ordinary cultivators to get Yuan Ling Dan.
The method Li An took for these 50,000 or 60,000 spiritual stones was very simple: borrow!
He directly borrowed spiritual stones from Su Xiuwan and the third princess, as well as the foundation-building forces of all sizes in the city.
Finally, he barely collected 180,000 spiritual stones and bought Yuan Ling Dan from the old man.
At the same time, the concubines he selected were basically finalized. He took seven concubines overnight.
This became a topic of conversation in the city, and everyone said that he was very lucky.
...
White Tiger Mountain.
"This is the news from Tianyang City,"
Mo Xuan handed over a letter and then withdrew from the secret hall. Baihu Zhenren picked it up casually and took a look. He couldn't help but laugh: "One wife and seven concubines. Although Zuo Wen is dead, his body is under the control of Qiu Hui. He is really lucky."
The sickly girl said: "She is indeed very smart. Marrying a wife can help her practice Yin-Yang magic. At the same time, if there is a riot, she can use Yuanling Honglu Gong again to escape..."
The sickly girl's eyes seemed to be able to see through everything.
"I said, she is the most scheming person in my Baihu Mountain. It is perfect for her to go to Tianyang City."
Baihu Zhenren was quite confident: "How long will it take to attack Tianyang City?"
"Five years."
The sickly girl said: "After five years, it will be another sixty years. The Zhoutian will circulate. Those who are trying to attack the Nascent Soul will definitely choose to wait until this time."
Baihu Zhenren looked solemn.
Five years...
This is destined to be a tormenting five years!
