otherwise, he wouldn’t want to randomly bind Daoist Couples, striving for quality and not quantity had always been his philosophy!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It looks like… there’s no escape.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Yue, witnessing this scene, couldn’t help but mutter under her breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lord Jun might not have realized it, but she could feel that the girl’s look at Lord Jun was quite different.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everything implied that she wanted to become Daoist Couple with Lord Jun and even feared that Lord Jun would refuse her, hence why she mentioned even staying on nominal terms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Liu Qingqing couldn’t help but develop a curious thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The current situation was different from when she and Lord Jun had first met; the implications of these words were naturally different now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If Lord Jun marries another.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Would Youbai call her sister or younger sister?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yuan Youbai, however, was concerned about a completely different issue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Frowning, he pondered for a long time before seriously asking the two people beside him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Giggle…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Whatever you like.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Yue, hearing this, rubbed his head, finding it very amusing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wow!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“She really wants to be Young Master Gu’s wife!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“For a moment, I’m not sure who is getting the better end of the deal…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The observing cultivators, although guessing a bit, were still surprised to hear her say it herself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the Gu Family Elders who appeared upon hearing this had a peculiar look on their faces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Kuang, naturally, hadn’t missed out on the news about his grandson.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He appeared on the mansion’s wall at the first moment, leisurely lifting his wine gourd to his mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, he chuckled and muttered, “Grandson’s luck in love is indeed not bad; just don’t know when he will give us a great-grandson.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In his eyes, his grandson was surely winning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if that girl didn’t suppress her realm, it did not matter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, last time although the girl had suppressed her realm, the grandson didn’t even exert himself; just those two Innate Divine Abilities were enough to easily suppress an opponent across realms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was still him having no idea that the grandson had already unconsciously mastered not just two Innate Divine Abilities… thus such confidence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Gu Changge agreed, he casually tossed the Low Grade Heavenly Rank Flying Sword he had brought to Dongfang Mingyue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What is this?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dongfang Mingyue took her Flying Sword, slightly frowning, feeling that he was perhaps underestimating her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“As this is a duel with full strength, it’s still best for Miss Dongfang to use her own sword.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Changge simply waved his hand nonchalantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And recalling this guy even refined the Heavenly Tribulation, Dongfang Mingyue took a deep breath and no longer refused!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She, too, wanted to see just how strong this guy could be, and if she put all her strength into it, what the outcome would be!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, this time, she didn’t even bring up what price Gu Changge would have to pay if she won…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She didn’t mention taking Yuan Youbai or even her own Flying Sword!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clearly, she herself hadn’t noticed that she was only thinking about what to do if she lost and hadn’t even considered what it meant to win!\u003C\u002Fp>",1253,"2026-06-05T15:31:36.912Z",1,"novelbin.me","b19582d7373b7f220da069a09c51f11b0f4689674996a62c10b1ba2199e81745","concubines-lead-to-strength-the-path-to-immortal-chapter-34","concubines-lead-to-strength-the-path-to-immortal-chapter-33",611,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fconcubines-lead-to-strength-the-path-to-immortal-cover.jpg"]
