It was evident that Jiang Baiye’s belly was quite distended, and while Lu Tianxiang was pregnant as well, it was early days, and her lower abdomen hardly showed.

Yun Miaoyi’s lower abdomen was still as flat as a plain; she had only been married into the Han Mansion for a few days. Although she had been thoroughly conquered by Han Li, and he had successfully sown his seed, it would still be a long while before her lower abdomen would show any apparent signs.

Lu Tianxiang and Jiang Baiye had become Han Li’s wives one after another, yet their relationship wasn’t very close. With Yun Miaoyi’s arrival, she acted as the lubricant among them, and the three women quickly became good friends.

Otherwise, for old ancestor Han to enjoy a hot spring bath with his three ladies, it would be a long and arduous road ahead, with no telling how many years it would take to achieve.

While Han Li was contemplating his future strategies and mulling over his plans, he took pleasure in admiring the exceptional beauty of the three women. During their hot spring bath, they only covered the vital parts, leaving large expanses of their skin, flawless like white jade, bathing in the sunlight and the warmth of the spring.

“My lord, elder sister Mingmeng’s elder son has gone out to gain experience, and she is quite worried. Aren’t you going to comfort her?”

Yun Miaoyi shifted her position, her tone lazy.

After agreeing to become Han Li’s wife and going through all the procedures, Yun Miaoyi had wholeheartedly accepted her new identity, constantly addressing him as ‘my lord’.

Jiang Baiye and Lu Tianxiang frowned slightly; they found this form of address too cloying and could never bring themselves to say it, wondering how the sorceress Yun Miaoyi could do it.

“No need,”

Han Li shook his head slightly, his tone indifferent, not particularly concerned about Han Yongchun’s situation.

This was the path chosen by Han Yongchun himself, not willing to produce many offspring in the Han Mansion, aspiring to stand out; then he had to fight and make his own way.

Han Li wouldn’t bestow vast resources on any descendant without cause; unless they demonstrated their worth, whether it be talent, insight, ability, or…

The resources of the Han Mansion were limited; it was impossible to cater to all descendants. Some had to be prioritized for cultivation, and the others who were not content had to fight for recognition, to show Han Li their effort and achievements.

It was like this now and would be so in the future. As his progeny would increase, the competition would intensify. As long as the intensity remained reasonable, Han Li wouldn’t intervene.

He had given Han Yongchun three treasures, capable of protecting his life thrice. If he still couldn’t extract a good training outcome from that, Han Yongchun ought to return and focus on continuing the lineage, in the hopes of raising a child who would achieve greatness.

When Han Li first arrived in this world, he started with nothing and had to strive for everything on his own. Even the opportunity to join Tianxuan Mountain was hard-earned through great hardship.

The old ancestor had fought for his success and founded the vast Han Mansion; his descendants were beneficiaries who had a far higher starting point than he had had.

Yun Miaoyi smiled without saying much, and Jiang Baiye and Lu Tianxiang also nodded slightly, endorsing Han Li’s approach.

They were not worried that their children would lack priority in cultivation; they were wives of Han Li, possessing high cultivation levels and qualities, capable of securing excellent accommodations for their offspring.

Their children would not lack in talent and, with their support, they would be the pillars of the Han Mansion in the future. As per the rules of the Han Family, their descendants were listed for priority cultivation from birth.

This was a given from the start. For instance, Han Yongzhen, the first child of Lu Tianxiang, possessed Third Grade talent. With proper cultivation, he could very much hope to ascend to the True Martial Realm in the future. How could Han Li not cultivate him well?

“Now, the situation in the Daqian Empire grows increasingly chaotic, nearing collapse. Even with Chu Zhenxiong (the name of Chu Dingqian’s second form) straining to maintain it, it won’t last much longer. What’s your plan?”

Gazing at Han Li, Lu Tianxiang spoke up, wanting to know Han Li’s plans for the future.

Jiang Baiye and Yun Miaoyi also looked at Han Li; they too were concerned about the precarious current state of affairs.

Once Chu Zhenxiong couldn’t hold on any longer, Yuanzhou was very likely to be annexed by the Yinyang Sect or Mysterious Forces. Under the rule of these two powers, it would be much more difficult for the Han Mansion to develop peacefully.

Among the three women, one was from the Yinyang Sect, another from Mysterious Forces. As long as their true identities remained concealed, the Han Family risked attracting serious trouble.

Although Han Li was at the True Martial Realm, he had just made the breakthrough and his strength within the realm wasn’t strong. How could he possibly stand against the True Martial Realm Emperor Wu of the Yinyang Sect and Mysterious Forces?

Though the Yinyang Sect merely has two warriors of the True Martial Realm, behind them the Demon Clan possesses a large number of warriors not only in the True Martial Realm but even in the Divine Yuan Realm. There are even legends of powers in the Tongxuan Realm.

Lu Tianxiang, who comes from a Mysterious Forces, also has quite a few warriors in the True Martial Realm, and it’s suspected that there exist Divine Yuan Realm warriors. She understands just how strong the Mysterious Forces are—a colossus that secretly rules over one-third of the Chaotic Domain is most likely to have Divine Yuan Realm warriors.

After a slight hesitation, Han Li shared some of his thoughts, “I plan to change my identity to help the Daqian Empire.”

Lu Tianxiang, Jiang Baiye, and Yun Miaoyi all had their pupils contract slightly. Was this the Han Li they knew?

In their minds, Han Li was cautious, cunning, and deceitful, but also very bold—daring enough to take them one by one to be his companions.

Han Li smiled and explained, “I’m highly confident that my identity won’t be exposed.”

“Daqian cannot rely solely on Chu Zhenxiong, whose life is not much longer; can he even live another fifty years? Such a warrior of the True Martial Realm cannot stabilize the situation of Daqian.”

“The powers from the Outer Twelve States that have withdrawn back to the Mid Six Province, as well as the local forces of the Mid Six Province, are all seeking a way out. They are still watching the situation and looking for new affiliations. If any of the four major forces can offer a good price, they definitely would not mind selling out the Daqian Empire.”

“The four major forces currently dare not touch the Mid Six Province, worrying that after Daqian’s collapse, Chu Zhenxiong might go mad. An unfettered mid-stage warrior of the True Martial Realm can be extremely terrifying.”

“But once Chu Zhenxiong dies, Daqian will be completely finished, and our Han Mansion won’t be able to continue to develop peacefully. Therefore, a warrior of the True Martial Realm must come forward to support the Daqian Empire.”

“If I were to change my identity and step forward, although I won’t be able to recapture the Outer Twelve States for Daqian, stabilizing the situation of Daqian should be no problem.”

“Then Daqian would have two warriors of the True Martial Realm as kings—one whose life is nearly over, but the other with a long life ahead, which would bring confidence to the internal forces of Daqian, and they wouldn’t act rashly.”

“After digesting the Outer Twelve States, the four major forces will also need time to assimilate, as it is a very large territory, and some of their True Martial Realm warriors are still trapped in the Sacred Dragon Secret Realm and won’t further threaten Daqian.”

“For the next several decades, Daqian will just have me and Chu Zhenxiong in the highest positions. Once Chu Zhenxiong is dead, I will be the highest authority in Daqian. Whether it’s now or in the future, I can acquire vast benefits for us, for the Han Family.”

Lu Tianxiang, Jiang Baiye, and Yun Miaoyi all nodded in agreement; they shared this opinion, but how could Han Li ensure his identity remained concealed?

Even if Han Li changed his identity, his martial skills wouldn’t change, and if he used them in his true form in the future, he would be exposed.

Yun Miaoyi voiced the doubts in her heart.

Han Li said, “I have my ways.”

These were too specific, and Han Li didn’t intend to inform them just yet. Perhaps another time.

All three women sneered. Han Li was still hiding something—just how many secrets was he keeping?

Compared to this, they were actually more curious about how Han Li had improved his cultivation so rapidly. Yun Miaoyi hadn’t been around long, but Jiang Baiye and Lu Tianxiang had been with Han Li for quite some time, almost constantly.

The two women knew that the scoundrel had never actually cultivated, nor had they seen him use the Dual Cultivation Technique or the Collection and Supplement Method in battle. Yet, Han Li’s cultivation had soared rapidly, advancing his realm at lightning speed.

Before, they didn’t know the truth, but after Han Li informed them of his True Martial Realm cultivation, they realized that his cultivation level had skyrocketed in a very short period.

Although they were very curious, Lu Tianxiang, Jiang Baiye, and Yun Miaoyi did not pry further. This was Han Li’s secret. If he didn’t want to share it with them, all the questioning in the world would be useless and might even damage the relationship between them.

Truth be told, they found this to be a good thing; Han Li’s rapid progress in cultivation was beneficial. It meant he could better protect them and safeguard the things they cared about in times of chaos.

For instance, Jiang Baiye was very pleased at heart. With Han Li in the True Martial Realm, if the Canghai Sect encountered an existential crisis, he could secretly help without causing trouble for Han Li, since warriors of the True Martial Realm were extremely powerful.

As Han Li was about to say something, his expression suddenly changed.
