Enhancement!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If you were to follow your own nature and disregard the factors involving the Dongfang Family, what would you choose?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Dongfang Mingyue asked, she looked at him somewhat nervously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now she remembered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first time, when she had used it as a condition, the other party hadn’t agreed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time he had agreed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dongfang Mingyue couldn’t help but wonder if it was because of what she said, that even if he was not interested in her, they could remain in name only.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps he valued not her, but the influence of the Dongfang Family in Central State.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Follow my own heart?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Changge was slightly startled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t worry, no matter what your answer is.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I, the Sword Immortal, have promised you, and I definitely won’t go back on my word.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing he didn’t immediately answer, Dongfang Mingyue felt even more uneasy in her heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet fearing he would deliberately deceive her, she could only again promise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This question is indeed… somewhat unexpected.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Changge couldn’t help but smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he stood up, lowered his head to meet her nervous gaze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He said confidently, “The Dongfang Family may be very strong, but in the eyes of this Young Master, there is no need to rely on them.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The same words as before, if you and I become a Daoist Couple, it’s the Dongfang Family that profits, not this Young Master.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“From beginning to end, when this Young Master takes a wife, I have never needed to consider the family circumstances or strength of the other party.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“In short… as long as this Young Master likes her, that’s enough.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These words, upon reaching Dongfang Mingyue’s ears,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Made her lose her focus momentarily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She didn’t know whether to praise his confidence or call him arrogant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though he was very powerful, he was still only at the Fifth-grade Ruins Realm, yet he could claim that if they became a Daoist Couple, it would be the Dongfang Family who had gained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had considered every possible answer, but she never imagined he would say this…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, she caught the crucial point!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once her mind cleared, whether he was confident or arrogant didn’t matter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meeting his gaze, Dongfang Mingyue suddenly smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So you mean, you agreed to the challenge this time because you like this Sword Immortal?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her gaze had been somewhat nervous, but now it was filled with anticipation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s more accurate to say admiration, but yes, liking isn’t incorrect either.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Changge nodded, speaking forthrightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Previously, his impression of the Central Province Talent hadn’t been great.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were either oppressive with their influence or tried to coerce him with petty schemes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this Dongfang Mingyue, since arriving at the Gu Family,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Had been straightforward, challenging him directly on her first visit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had fairly suppressed her Realm, stating she would win and take Yuan Youbai.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even in defeat, without any complaints, she left behind the Low Grade Heavenly Rank Flying Sword and departed gracefully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her character had no issues.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for looks, naturally, she was very attractive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her figure, well…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Originally, he thought Dongfang Mingyue seemed a bit too young.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he had also noticed she seemed to wrap herself with a white cloth on purpose, making it less obvious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In reality, it should be considerable…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All in all, of course she was not bad.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And if he could bind her as a Daoist Couple, the benefits for him would be significant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The support of the Dongfang Family was trivial.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What mattered was the addition of a Daoist Couple, which could greatly increase his cultivation speed, and now all his wives had already reached the threshold for crafting an Acquired Dao Body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he could add another Daoist Couple, it would help him reach the 800 Root Bone milestone even faster!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Now that we’re on the subject, this Young Master would also like to know.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Miss Dongfang, what do you think?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Is it all because of the bet?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If that’s really the case, the lady need not take it seriously.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Everyone appreciates beauty, and though I, indeed, find you agreeable, it is certainly not because of a bet that I would forcibly bind our lifetimes together.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If that’s the case, we can put it aside.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Changge finished speaking and, seeing she was silent, simply tossed the question back to her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s not like that!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing his words, Dongfang Mingyue suddenly became anxious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She hastily spoke to deny it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Changge said nothing, just watching her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I, the Sword Immortal, have long taken an oath that if someone can best me, make me admit truly that they are stronger than I!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then I shall marry none but him!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dongfang Mingyue looked at him earnestly and revealed her initial thoughts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Um…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Miss Dongfang, hold on.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So, is it just because this Young Master is strong?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What if someone stronger than this Young Master appears in the future? Of course, this is hypothetical, it’s basically impossible.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Changge frowned, not having expected this reasoning from her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In that case, the bet would mean she was at no loss at all!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, her vow was simply to follow whoever was stronger than her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s not entirely because of that…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But indeed, I have never lost as comprehensively as this in Central State.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dongfang Mingyue shook her head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Not entirely?” Gu Changge asked in return.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’re not only strong, you’re also good-looking.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dongfang Mingyue was forthright, staring at him without hesitation and speaking her mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fine! This Young Master accepts that answer.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Changge paused for a moment, unable to reject such a reason.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So… are we now considered Daoist Couple?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dongfang Mingyue blinked, feeling a bit dazed at the moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How did she come to the Northern Domain, abandon all her original plans, and end up with a Daoist Couple?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Of course.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Changge nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, a system notification echoed in his mind:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Host has bound a Daoist Couple: Dongfang Mingyue (Void Refining Realm·Late Stage)]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a thought, the new Daoist Couple panel appeared before his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Daoist Couple: Dongfang Mingyue]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Root Bone: 165]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Comprehension: 150]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Cultivation Technique: Purple Qi Eastward Technique·Heaven Rank Top Grade]\u003C\u002Fp>",1035,"2026-06-05T15:31:36.912Z",1,"novelbin.me","7b68725ff1a165263738248c22d6f0d353ed2816c07bcc9d455f81810f207d09","concubines-lead-to-strength-the-path-to-immortal-chapter-39","concubines-lead-to-strength-the-path-to-immortal-chapter-284",611,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fconcubines-lead-to-strength-the-path-to-immortal-cover.jpg"]
