you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Changge casually asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although by age, Yuan Youbai was older than the three of them combined.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But by her age in the Dragon Clan, she was still not fully mature in spirit intelligence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“She didn’t say anything…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yuan Youbai glanced at the guilty-looking Wang Yue beside her, her little head shaking like a rattle drum.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Wang Yue also sighed with relief, it seemed that the little one, although naive, was reliable!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Not honest…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sigh.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this answer, Gu Changge shook her head and sighed, then she made a move to turn around and leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, the little one’s eyes started to redden urgently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sister said you’re a bad person who eats people without spitting out their bones…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Eat… eat dragons without spitting out their bones too.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“She asked Youbai if she still wanted to stay by your side…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yuan Youbai was truly scared, she only visited once every half month, and if she left this time, she might really not want her!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“…” Wang Yue’s mouth twitched, well… not that reliable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Changge stopped in her tracks, turned around, and raised her eyebrows at Wang Yue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She then deliberately frowned and stared at Yuan Youbai: “She wasn’t wrong.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So, are you still willing?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yuan Youbai clutched her own clothes nervously, although anxious, she still met his gaze and did not turn her eyes away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her voice was somewhat timid as she said, “Little… Little Bai is willing.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Because of your mother?” Gu Changge further inquired.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s not that.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yuan Youbai shook her head repeatedly, “Little Bai isn’t foolish, Little Bai knows who is kind to her.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You are different from other people of the Human Clan, they all want to make Little Bai a mount…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“They even want to use Little Bai to lure my mother out!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But you are different…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You are a good person!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Listening to her earnestly issuing him a ‘good person certificate,’ Gu Changge’s mouth twitched.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Do you know what a child bride is, and what are spouses?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Yuan Youbai nodded, “I know!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Besides my mother, only you have been kind to Little Bai…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Little Bai also wants to be like Sister Princess, just… just can you not eat Little Bai?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Wang Yue chuckled awkwardly, “The ‘eat’ I mentioned isn’t real eating…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fake eating?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“‘Fake eating’ is okay!” Yuan Youbai earnestly nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Yue fell silent, wishing she hadn’t scared the little naive one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ll explain it then.” Liu Qingqing, seeing this, smiled slightly and stepped forward, gently pulling on Yuan Youbai’s small hand, “Do you want to stay by our husband’s side forever?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I do.” Yuan Youbai nodded hesitantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without her mother, she had nowhere else to go, having suffered greatly through a life of turmoil and fear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only in the past half month, in this small courtyard, had she finally felt secure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then… do you like our husband?” Liu Qingqing continued to guide the conversation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I like him,” Yuan Youbai’s voice was tiny, and she timidly added, “just not as much as I love my mother…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s enough then.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Just like me, you can call him ‘husband.'”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Qingqing, seeing that her guidance was effective, said outright.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, she shook her head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Liu Qingqing could be puzzled, she continued, “But Sister Princess said I should call him ‘Lord Husband’.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That is certainly alright too,” Liu Qingqing said with a smile upon hearing that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Is that okay?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Little naive looked anxious, glancing at Liu Qingqing and then at Wang Yue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Of course, it’s okay, but you have to be obedient in the future, okay?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Otherwise… perhaps Lord Husband will eat you up!” Wang Yue playfully pretended to bite.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Encouraged by their supportive looks, the little one finally lowered her head and walked up to Gu Changge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She stretched out her small hand and grabbed the corner of his robe, shyly asking, “Lord Husband… can you promise not to leave Little Bai behind?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at her own toes, her heart was racing with fear that he wouldn’t want her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Changge took a deep breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the two wives looking on, there was a faint sense of guilt as if they were deceiving the child?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, as the wife had said, the little one also harbored this desire, and he naturally had no need to resist it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He took a deep breath and announced, “From today onwards, you and I are Daoist Couple.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“From now on, whether in the Northern Domain or the Central State, all matters will be supported by me, Gu Changge.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Host Bound to Daoist Couple 3: Yuan Youbai·Dragon Clan (Ruins Realm·Perfection)]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he agreed, a notification also sounded in his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing his words, Yuan Youbai finally looked up at him, a light smile on his face, and she was slightly dazed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, it was as if she had a support to rely on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No need to wander from place to place, hiding and seeking shelter anymore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Pack up your things and move to the side hall.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing her dazed, Gu Changge said softly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lord Husband agrees,” Yuan Youbai finally reacted and jumped up excitedly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She even pounced directly onto him, clinging to him like an ornament not willing to let go.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright, alright…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Changge hadn’t finished speaking when he realized she was clinging to him sobbing, her chest damp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Qingqing and Wang Yue exchanged glances.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We’ll help Youbai pack up.” They promptly entered the house; there wasn’t much to pack, just taking away what had been used, really.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This left Gu Changge standing there, somewhat at a loss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could handle cheering up a woman.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But seeing a woman cry really left him clueless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could only gently pat her back, letting her vent the frustrations she had accumulated over the days while leaning on him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t worry, it won’t be long before we head to the Central State. We will surely resolve this situation.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Knowing that she was probably overly worried about her mother, Gu Changge comforted her softly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Uh-huh…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Little Hanhan took some time to calm down, feeling slightly embarrassed as she glanced at her own robe that she had dampened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She quickly pressed her palm against it, using spiritual energy to dry it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In no time…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The four of them had already arrived at the side hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching Yuan Youbai excitedly inspect each room to pick one for himself, Wang Yue smiled slightly and said, “Lord Husband, you indeed have good fortune now.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Now you have another wife; are you happy about it?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At those words, Gu Changge raised his hand and playfully smacked her pert buttocks, eliciting a yelp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I haven’t settled the score with you for deliberately discrediting me yet.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Wang Yue immediately covered the somewhat painful area, sending a pitiful look for mercy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m going to refine some elixirs first.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Qingqing, upon seeing this, smiled slightly and went straight into the seclusion room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And she warned Yuan Youbai, “Your Lord Husband might take some time to discipline your Sister Princess shortly, Youbai, so try not to be too curious, okay?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yuan Youbai nodded, sneaking a glance at Lord Husband before diving into the room he had chosen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She understood that her mother and father would also lock themselves into small rooms to quarrel and often resort to hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All she had to do was wait quietly!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lord Husband… shouldn’t we inform the family about today’s events first?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This grand joyous occasion should certainly be celebrated, shouldn’t it…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Yue murmured.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But evidently, she couldn’t escape her fate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was directly swept off her feet and carried into the main house by Lord Husband.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon after, sounds could be heard, and Yuan Youbai, curious, pressed her ear against the wall in her room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Marriage is indeed about wrestling…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately, before she could hear much, the adjacent room activated a barrier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the seclusion room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Qingqing took out the wooden box that her husband had given her earlier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon opening it, she felt the familiar fragrance of the elixir, noticeably stronger than before!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Although I don’t know how my husband obtained these elixirs, the cost clearly was significant.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“In the future, I must strive harder in my cultivation to make sure I do not disappoint my husband’s expectations.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a resolved look, Liu Qingqing immediately swallowed the elixir and began refining it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the elixir entered her stomach, she could feel her divine sense rapidly improving.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But she knew that the effects of her husband’s elixir weren’t limited to just enhancing the divine sense!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Gu Changge finally relieved his frustration,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Yue was completely drained of energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, a new prompt from the system arrived:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Daoist Couple: Liu Qingqing (Ruins Realm·Early Stage) took Comprehension Pill (+35), share?]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Skilfully, he thought “share” in his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He felt his Sea of Consciousness Space expanding continuously, and his divine soul was further strengthened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially the golden Tao Bell on his Spirit Platform in his Sea of Consciousness Space, which was also condensing into a solid form.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Comprehension +35]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Comprehension: 270]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It seems the barrier at three hundred provokes similar changes to Root Bone and Comprehension,” Gu Changge speculated while he opened the Daoist Couple panel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He noted that a new Daoist couple, Yuan Youbai, had appeared on the panel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, he didn’t rush to check that but first opened the panel for Daoist Couple 1: Liu Qingqing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Daoist Couple: Liu Qingqing]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Root Bone: 120]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Comprehension: 135](35 synchronizable)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Cultivation Technique: Spirit Moon Technique· Top Grade Earth Rank]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Realm: Ruins Realm·Early Stage]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a thought, he chose to synchronize the 35 Comprehension points from the panel!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Comprehension +32]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Host’s Comprehension reached 300, sync effect halved beyond a difference of 100.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Following the two prompts, Gu Changge didn’t linger to scrutinize them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead, he focused on the changes within his Divine Sense Space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘Dang—’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘Dang—’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The golden bell on his Spirit Platform rang thrice, causing golden ripples throughout his Sea of Consciousness Space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wherever these golden ripples passed, the Divine Sense Space seemed to solidify, becoming nearly invulnerable.
