Protect Our Clan Leader - Chapter 440
Chapter 440: Chapter 107: “Pill Doctor Par Excellence” Gu Hanyu_2
Even once, he had privately asked Wang Luotong for elixirs to give to Wang Shounuo.
Although Luotong always said that she gave them willingly to her brother, Wang Shouzhe understood that her personality would naturally have no problem giving Dan medicine to Shounuo because she pitied him. However, the humiliation and psychological scars likely remained from being forced by the notion of a woman’s duty to marry.
This made Luotong become somewhat stubborn, wanting to grow stronger to prove her worth, to the extent that even in her thirties, she had no intention of marrying.
“I did tell Luotong that if she didn’t want to marry, then she shouldn’t,” Wang Shouzhe nodded and said, “Since Luotong is unwilling, I will reject the proposal from the Lei Family on her behalf.”
When these words were spoken,
Lei Bowu grew anxious and hastily stood up, “Master Shouzhe, even if Luotong doesn’t want to marry, I can become the son-in-law!”
Wang Shouzhe’s expression stiffened and he sternly said, “Nonsense! You are of the Heavenly Human Direct Lineage, you may not be the eldest son, but you still have status. I know your father Lei Yangyu; he would definitely not agree for you to marry into another family.”
“Master Shouzhe, in this life, I belong to Luotong, and in death, I’ll be her ghost,” Lei Bowu said stubbornly, “If my father won’t let me marry into another clan, I’ll request for our family to split and establish a separate branch of Lei Family. This way, I can decide to marry into another family myself. In short, I’m settled on Luotong.”
“Rascal,” said Wang Luotong through gritted teeth, “When did I ever agree to your pursuit? Don’t force this young lady to beat you up again.”
“Luotong, you can hit me. No matter how you punish me, I won’t change my wholehearted affection for you.”
His despicable behavior made Wang Luotong so angry that she was almost steaming. If it weren’t for her elder brother and sister-in-law being present, she might have pulled out her whip to “satisfy” his needs.
Wang Shouzhe and his wife exchanged glances.
Truly, like matches well with like.
However, with Luotong’s temperament, regular prominent family’s sons probably couldn’t handle her. This Lei Bowu might actually be a good match for her.
The biggest issue now is Lei Bowu’s status.
Being the direct descendant of a prominent family is serious. Luotong being of the direct vessel, even if she was to marry into the Lei Family, they may not agree to it. Let alone Lei Bowu wanting to marry into Wang family as someone from the direct lineage. No family would ever agree to this.
This is a real problem~
Wang Shouzhe contemplated it briefly and decided to put the matter aside for now. He would look for an opportunity to meet Lei Yangyu and indirectly inquire about his views on the matter.
Hopefully, he won’t get punched for it~
After the casual conversation, they all had lunch together.
After lunch, Wang Luotong could not wait to send Lei Bowu away. She said she had important matters to discuss with her fourth elder brother, and Lei Bowu, an outsider, should not participate.
Lei Bowu dared not protest or refute her; he could only reluctantly take his leave with regrets, looking back every few steps, and was eventually driven away.
After he left, Wang Luotong turned to Wang Shouzhe with a serious expression and asked, “Fourth Brother, I heard from Grandfather Six that our family obtained a batch of treasures that can enhance bloodline talents?”
As she spoke, her eyes were filled with anticipation.
Throughout, Wang Luotong had been very diligent and her cultivation was progressing quickly. But, due to her restricted bloodline talent, her achievements were overshadowed by Wang Luo Jing and Wang Luoqiu.
Over the years, she completed various family tasks and accumulated contribution points, which she used to exchange for Enlightenment Pills, Stone Marrow, Blood Refining Pills, and various cultivation materials.
The Enlightenment Pill, for example, is the lower-grade pill that can improve bloodline talents. However, its effect is very limited and mostly targets ordinary people with no cultivation base who are of lower class.
Wang Luotong began with a solid talent, a high B grade at the lower class, nearing A grade.
She used an Enlightenment Pill and a drop of Stone Marrow to break through to lower-class Grade A and then took a Grade Four Spirit Pill, Blood Refining Pill. The Blood Refining Pill isn’t cheap, but its effects are much stronger than the Enlightenment Pill, leading her bloodline talent to be elevated to the middle level of lower-class Grade A.
Nevertheless, the elixirs that improve bloodline talents are extremely expensive. Secondly, their efficacy reduces substantially upon second use and continues to decrease with further uses.
Thereby, Wang Luotong’s original plan was to accumulate contribution points for a few more years, borrow from her fourth brother to procure several more Blood Refining Pills to be taken together to see if there was a chance to advance into the middle-grade bloodline talent and awaken the first layer of bloodline.
This would allow her to walk a longer path in the future.
However, news from Old Ancestor Xiaohan made her restless. So she hurried back to consult her fourth brother.
Wang Shouzhe smiled, “You’re really impatient. But don’t worry, you’re not being left out.”
This time, he chose to bring all the Bridal Clothes Blood Gu back, which naturally was based on his own considerations.
For the Changning Xu Family and the Hundred Islands Zhong Family, the Bridal Clothes Blood Gu is but a chicken rib.
But for him, the Bridal Clothes Blood Gu is a true top-quality treasure.
Only because Wang Shouzhe’s bloodline talent is extremely unique and can effectively help cultivators who have been parasitized by the Bridal Clothes Blood Gu to safely undergo bloodline transformation and thereby avoid the risk of demonic possession.
However, this effect of his bloodline is a hidden attribute. Only small senior sister Green Fern had a faint feeling of its uniqueness, even Fang Youan, a fellow disciple from the same academic palace, is not aware of it.
Most probably, even till now, senior brother Youan still thinks that Zong Chang and Old Ancestor Longyan relied on their strong willpower and excellent physical bloodline to survive the ordeal.
This has indeed benefited Wang Shouzhe greatly, and he obtained the war spoils at a relatively low price.
