Longevity Clan Starts with the Patriarch’s Marriage - Chapter 568

Chapter 568: Chapter 230: The Beloved Ancestor Marries! The Joyful Ji Mingyue! Treasure Chest Explosion, the Second Immortal Weapon is Obtained!_2
Yuan Youwei felt a sense of smug satisfaction within. As long as she could align with Ji Mingyue, given Han Li’s behavior over the past half-month, he wouldn’t easily harm either of them. It would allow them to maintain their Primordial Yin Body. However, if she were alone, her position would be weak and not very secure.

Unfortunately, Yuan Youwei was wrong. She didn’t understand Han Li at all. Most of his recent conduct around her was a pretense, and such actions of hers would only exhaust the last bit of Han Li’s patience, ending in a loss greater than the gain.

But Yuan Youwei didn’t know this.

Each of Yuan Youwei’s words struck Ji Mingyue’s resolve like a heavy hammer, her face turning pale with increasing uncertainty.

Watching Yuan Youwei’s chilly and peerless silhouette, Ji Mingyue’s delicate lips were tightly pursed, not uttering a single word, as a battle raged within her heart.

Taking a deep breath, Ji Mingyue spoke up again with a heavy voice, “Yuan Youwei, what if Han Li is not as you imagine?”

“What you are doing will definitely anger Han Li, and when that time comes, there won’t be a good outcome for us. Can you really endure until the incident at Chengsheng Mountain unfolds?”

Ji Mingyue clearly understood Yuan Youwei’s thoughts, but she did not dare agree with her method, which was far too risky.

Yuan Youwei seemed to forget that Han Li was a man of audacious courage, who had even dared to defile the split souls of the two supreme Empresses, Empress Yuanchu and the Huangyue Imperial Empress. How then could the two of them escape from Han Li’s Devil’s Palm?

Ji Mingyue certainly didn’t believe that Han Li was a paragon of virtue; his recent behavior had all been an act.

If Han Li were to force himself upon them, they would still be coerced into losing their chastity to Han Li and fallen into his hands, aspiring to maintain their purity would be but a fool’s dream.

Based on the information subtly revealed by Han Li during the half-month, their end would be different if they were to willingly marry him or be forced.

Volunteering to marry Han Li, with their status, cultivation, and beauty, would make them Han Li’s Dao companions, giving them a high status on Chengsheng Mountain; if they were forced to marry Han Li, it was uncertain if they could become Dao companions.

The term “Dao companion” represented status and position on Chengsheng Mountain, and it determined the cultivation resources and privileges they would enjoy.

The reason Ji Mingyue wavered and didn’t hold on to her own opinions was that she understood this point. After all, she was only in the mid-stage of the Holy Abyss Realm, and in terms of combat ability, Han Li was not much weaker than her. It wouldn’t be disgraceful to become Han Li’s Dao companion.

Otherwise, if they were forced and lost their chastity, their plight would be very miserable. By the time White Emperor City, Yuanchu Mountain, and Huangyue Imperial Empire came to their rescue, everything would have been lost.

Not only would they have already lost their chastity, but in such a situation, they likely would have their cultivation abolished or even be directly killed. Even if Chengsheng Mountain were destroyed, it would be of no use to Ji Mingyue, not worth it at all.

“Dare he?” Yuan Youwei said lightly, as if she was very confident.

She was, after all, a Quasi Emperor, a future Empress of the Heaven Imperial Realm. The idea of being forced to marry a Cultivator of the Tongxuan Realm’s first layer was too humiliating for her, and Yuan Youwei’s pride would not allow her to do so.

If Han Li had only her as his Dao companion, or only had Zimei Zhen, Ji Mingyue, and the three as his Dao companions, Yuan Youwei could reluctantly agree. But Han Li had too many wives and concubines; she could not accept it.

Yuan Youwei was sure that Han Li wouldn’t dare to kill her, otherwise, the matter of Chengsheng Mountain would be exposed instantly, and Han Li was far from a match for Empress Yuanchu.

If she were to use some tactics, she also had the confidence to deter Han Li from forcefully defiling her and being coerced into losing her chastity.

Ji Mingyue opened her mouth, wanting to speak but then hesitating, as if to say Han Li really might dare, but she ultimately didn’t say it out loud.

Yuan Youwei’s situation was different from hers. What Ji Mingyue was willing to accept, Yuan Youwei might not be.

“Ji Mingyue, think carefully about this. Don’t make a foolish decision.”

Yuan Youwei turned around, looked at the conflicted Ji Mingyue, gently touched her stunning face with her hand, and then left.

Silently watching Yuan Youwei leave, Ji Mingyue glanced at the surging sea of clouds and also left, heading back to her chamber. She wanted to be alone with her thoughts.

Chengdao Peak, Qiandao Hall.

Han Li was discussing the Dao and contemplating the great paths of life with Zimei Zhen, and they were also examining unprecedented strategies. For a moment, the sky rained flowers and the ground sprouted golden lotuses, with heavenly sounds and wondrous melodies never ceasing.

Han Li had also divided a portion of his focus to control his Divine Sense and monitor Cloud View Terrace, listening to the conversation between Ji Mingyue and Yuan Youwei in its entirety. He did not make any comment for now, and would address it later.

Withdrawing his Divine Sense, Han Li then tightly embraced the beautiful and sweet Zimei Zhen, devoting himself entirely.

In a flash, Zimei Zhen’s beautiful eyes became hazy, and under her dancing purple hair was a charming and passionate countenance.

At some point, a figure appeared reflected in a mirror made from Supreme Grade lapis lazuli.

…..

The next day, Han Li arrived alone at Cloud View Terrace, and Ji Mingyue and Yuan Youwei also arrived on time.

With his hands resting on the balustrade, Han Li looked into the distance at the rising morning sun, waiting for the first rays of daylight to pierce the long night, and inhaled a wisp of morning glow as the sky turned purple.

It was then that Han Li turned around and looked over Ji Mingyue and Yuan Youwei.

Ji Mingyue had removed her veiled scarf, revealing her stunning face to Han Li, seemingly indicating her attitude.

Yuan Youwei, still veiled and cold, wore an expression as if Han Li owned her a set of Heavenly Immortal weapons. Her arms crossed over her chest, she attempted to present a condescending posture toward Han Li.

“Ji Mingyue, Yuan Youwei, have you considered your decision?” Han Li said with a smile.

Yuan Youwei glanced at Ji Mingyue and subtly shook her head. Ji Mingyue ignored Yuan Youwei’s gesture and said calmly, “I am willing to become your Dao companion.”
