Chapter 189: The Li Family’s Legitimate Daughter Comes for a Blind Date, and I Was Stunned as Soon as She Opened Her Mouth!
Zhou Kai’s gaze was fixed dead on the last two lines of the system panel.
[Point Type: Cultivation] [Points Provided: 28]
He couldn’t hold back the urge to roar in his heart. System, are you deliberately messing with my head?
Who was Li Yunmian? A living, breathing, top-tier 3rd-grade Talisman Master!
She was just one step away from reaching the 4th-grade! Such a huge piece of fat meat had been placed right in front of him, yet after their Dual Cultivation, the System actually gave him Cultivation points? Just because her Cultivation Realm was higher than his?
Where the hell are my Talisman-making points? Zhou Kai cursed inwardly. Are you forcing me to go after her disciple, Mo Qianyuan, as well? The damn System had no intelligence at all.
Still, Zhou Kai had to admit he owed his brother-in-law, Li Qiwen, a massive thank you for the divine assist. The identity of the “Creation Spirit Yang Body” was becoming more useful by the day.
For the Creation Qi to be harvested, it required mutual affection and had to be actively emitted by Zhou Kai himself. If not for that specific condition, Li Yunmian might have actually just forced herself on him!
…
Following that earth-shattering clash between the righteous and demonic factions, both sides retreated to lick their wounds and recuperate, exactly as Zhou Kai had predicted.
Life in Crouching Tiger City suddenly became rather pleasant.
Inside a bedroom in a small courtyard at the Jade Flower Palace disciple encampment, the atmosphere was heavy with heat.
Zhou Kai’s back was covered with a crisscrossing network of nail marks. Fresh scratches overlapped old scars, each one carrying a fierce, unyielding determination and a resentful reluctance to let him go.
Wu Hongxiao was drenched in fragrant sweat, her hair soaked and plastered to her cheeks. Panting heavily, she lay sprawled across his chest and glared at him hatefully.
“I knew it! I knew I shouldn’t have gotten involved with you! It hasn’t been long at all, and you’re already about to pat your butt and leave!”
“There’s still half a year,” Zhou Kai chuckled, his hand gently stroking the curve of her spine.
“Half a year?” Wu Hongxiao bit down hard on his shoulder, leaving a clear set of tooth marks. “I’m definitely the most miserable out of all your women! And the least favored!”
Zhou Kai laughed. “How so?”
“I…” Wu Hongxiao’s pretty face flushed crimson. Then, she righteously puffed out her chest. “You took me by force! You literally fought your way into my bed! There wasn’t a single bit of tenderness!”
She had a point. Zhou Kai pinched her cheek affectionately. “Then do you want to leave with me?”
Wu Hongxiao shook her head, but the wild look in her eyes turned deadly serious. “Leaving would be betraying the Sect. I’ll stay here in the Jade Flower Palace and help you keep an eye on Dong Cheng. And if I die doing it, I’ll definitely drag you down to the underworld with me!”
A warmth spread through Zhou Kai’s chest. This woman loved fiercely, and she hated just as directly.
“Then let’s make the most of the time we have,” he said, flipping over and pinning her beneath him.
Far from being afraid, a hungry gleam lit up Wu Hongxiao’s eyes as she arched her hips to meet him. “Come on then! This old lady refuses to accept defeat! Today, I’m going to melt this broken spear of yours!”
…
One hour later.
Wu Hongxiao finally regained a trace of strength. With a sudden “carp’s leap,” she sprang up from the bed, standing completely naked with her hands planted on her hips.
She looked down at Zhou Kai, who was still full of vigor, her face a mask of utter disbelief.
“It makes no sense… we’re both at the 7th Layer of Bone Forging, so how can the gap between us be this huge…?”
Seeing her stubborn, unyielding pout, Zhou Kai couldn’t help but laugh out loud.
Being with Wu Hongxiao was always so thoroughly satisfying.
He sought her out for no other reason than simply wanting her. And Wu Hongxiao seemed to have no ulterior motive in being with him either; she simply enjoyed the unrestrained thrill of conquering and being conquered.
Over the past few days, aside from satisfying the insatiable Wu Hongxiao, Zhou Kai also had to deal with an even more headache-inducing matter.
Regarding his departure from the battlefield, Li Yunmian had, contrary to her usual aloof behavior, handled the logistics with extreme diligence.
The official transfer order would be issued in half a year. Zhou Kai would not be returning to the Sect. Instead, he would be sent to guard an immortal city called “Shangqing City” for a period of 100 years.
Ever since Zhou Kai visited Fish Baibai’s parents, this news had spread like wildfire throughout the entire Li family camp.
Fish Baibai’s father was a hot-tempered, burly man. When he first met Zhou Kai, he had immediately tried to put the fear of God into him, spittle flying as he roared:
“I don’t care what kind of damn genius you are, or who you work for! I follow the Patriarch! If you want to marry my daughter, you have to ask my fists if they agree!”
In response, Zhou Kai silently pulled out a few rare smithing materials he had looted from the Lin family treasury.
Fish Father’s eyes went wide on the spot.
When Zhou Kai casually revealed his identity as a 3rd-grade artifact smith, the atmosphere shifted instantly. After just one round of drinks, Fish Father was already hugging Zhou Kai’s arm, proudly calling him “good son-in-law” with every breath.
Now, Fish Father bragged to anyone who would listen that his precious Baibai had hooked an earth-shattering, heaven-defying genius. More importantly, this was the kind of genius who wouldn’t Perish halfway through his journey!
After all, he was about to be transferred away from the meat grinder of the front lines to safely guard Shangqing City with Elder Yunmian for an entire century!
100 years!
Hearing this, the Cultivator families attached to the Li family—such as Qin Jué, Xie Zhifei, and others—immediately felt their minds race with ambition.
Originally, they hadn’t been in a rush. But losing contact with Zhou Kai for 100 years was a different matter entirely.
They wouldn’t dare covet the position of principal wife; that seat was definitely reserved for a legitimate daughter of the Li family’s main bloodline.
But… they could certainly compete for the position of concubine!
Who was Zhou Kai?
The “Creation Spirit Yang Body”! A man who could nourish his Dao Companion and directly improve their cultivation aptitude!
He was practically a walking Fated Chance! By tying themselves to him for 100 years, wouldn’t the mediocre daughters in their families have a chance to soar to the heavens?
For a time, Zhou Kai’s threshold was practically worn down by the endless stream of visitors.
Even that shameless Gao Feiyang came crawling over, eagerly offering to send two fair-skinned, beautiful, delicate, and soft maidservants to warm Zhou Kai’s bed.
Zhou Kai’s head hurt so much from the constant harassment that seeing another visiting card made him want to smash it with his Warhammer.
Why is everyone only sending women? Doesn’t anyone think of sending some Spirit Stones, Dharma Treasures, or heavenly materials? he thought gloomily. Why does everyone assume I’m some sex-crazed fool who only cares about beauty?
Of course, he maintained his polite facade and verbally declined everyone.
He had enough women already. He had zero interest in getting entangled in the messy politics of these minor families. Quietly making a fortune was the true path to power.
He felt his Dao heart was solid, having successfully resisted the corruption of these temptations.
However, at this very moment, he found himself sitting in a luxurious private room at the Huiyu Workshop, on a blind date!
This was one person he truly couldn’t refuse.
The matchmaker was Su Xuan.
The date was Su Xuan’s own cousin, named Li Lanyin.
Although she wasn’t from the absolute core main branch like Li Youci or Li Qiwen, she was undeniably a legitimate, proper direct descendant of the Li family!
A legitimate young lady of the Li family had traveled thousands of miles from the family’s heartland to the front lines just to see him. It was a meeting he could not refuse without causing massive offense.
Inside the private room, sandalwood smoke curled lazily toward the ceiling.
Zhou Kai sized up the young woman sitting opposite him.
She wore a light cyan silk dress. Her eyebrows and eyes were as pretty as a painting, but that was about it. Only her eyes were remarkable.
This girl looked to be around eighteen years old, but her cultivation was only at the 2nd Layer of Qi Condensation. Even among bottom-feeding Loose Cultivators, this was considered incredibly weak. Placed within the Li family, with its literal mountains of resources, this aptitude was simply pitiful.
She just sat there quietly, taking small, elegant sips of her spirit tea. She didn’t seem the least bit invested in this blind date.
Zhou Kai wasn’t in a hurry to speak either. He waited patiently.
Finally, Li Lanyin set down her teacup. There was not a single trace of a young girl’s shyness in her demeanor.
Her crisp voice broke the silence, but the very first words out of her mouth stunned Zhou Kai on the spot.
“Senior Zhou, which of my elder sisters do you plan to marry as your principal wife?”
Before Zhou Kai could even react to the audacity of the question, she added:
“Tell me first. If that elder sister happens to have a good relationship with me, then today I will agree to this arrangement and marry you as a concubine. If not, then we are simply not fated. After finishing this cup of tea, we will each go our separate ways.”
