Chapter 1093: Concubines
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Fast forward to three years later.
It was not a particularly long time but it wasn’t short, either. Many things were happening at the Heaven Reverse Universe, though not major ones.
Lu Li cultivated for three years, and he only stopped once when Jiang Qiling successfully reached the Semi-God Realm.
She was talented. When she was younger, she loathed cultivation. Once she committed herself, she achieved fast progress.
Emperor of Heaven Reverse had passed onto Jiang Qiling his legacy, something similar to the Map of Fundamental Principle. It was not hard for her to reach the Semi-God Realm warriors following this path.
The City of Mystic Armor was rebuilt. Many disciples of the Lu Family could not stand the loneliness in the Prison of Wood and return to the City of Mystic Armor. The more important reason was that they had to be living under orders in the Prison of Wood, where Lu Li was also at. Many playboys dared not to act up in the Prison of Wood. In the City of Mystic Armor, the rulers were far away, and the playboys could play.
The Demon-slaying City was restored as well. The Waters Region was stable. Spending three years, Patriarch of Law Enforcement and Lu Zhengyang sorted everything out. The Heaven Reverse Universe’s prosperity and stability had recovered.
In the three years, the comprehensive strength of the Heaven Reverse Universe was developed as many elite disciples cultivated and grew rapidly in the Inferno and Prison of Wood. In three years, many had reached the Human Sovereign Realm, the Earth Immortal Realm and Jiang Qiling reached the Semi-God Realm, which boosted the strength of Heaven Reverse Universe.
Another piece of good news was from Lu Renhuang.
A patriarch that went to the Prison of Ice with Lu Renhuang came back to report that the latter had reached the Semi-God Realm and that he was still cultivating, expecting to see great progress soon.
Patriarch of Law Enforcement, Lu Zhengyang, and the others were overjoyed to hear this. Counting Lu Li in, the Heaven Reverse Universe now had four Semi-God Realm warriors, which was unheard of before.
In the era of Emperor of Heaven Reverse, there were only three Semi-God Realm warriors. The Heaven Reverse Universe lacked Xuan Qi in heaven and earth. This was a small place with little resources. It was extremely hard for warriors to reach the Semi-God Realm.
Lu Li was included not because he could compete with a Semi-God Realm warrior, but because he had witnessed great steps forward during the three years. Last year, he had reached the Semi-God Realm!
In three years, he learned five diagrams. Altogether, he had studied nine diagrams and had reached the Semi-God Realm without a hitch.
As a matter of fact, a warrior had to learn a ninth rank Profound Meaning in order to reach the Semi-God Realm. In Lu Li’s case, the Map of Fundamental Principle was intricate. Technically speaking, what he was learning was something more advanced than the Profound Meanings. It was not surprising that he could reach the Semi-God Realm.
The only disappointment was that—neither Bai Qiuxue nor Bai Xiashuang was pregnant. Lu Li stayed with them for a month and made love daily, yet all to no avail.
Lu Li was Lu Zhengyang’s only grandson. If Lu Li could not bear children, he could be the end of this line.
For this, Lu Zhengyang had worried looks all day long. Recently, he asked Lu Feixue to suggest to Bai Qiuxue and Jiang Qiling in a subtle way to let Lu Li have some concubines.
Lu Feixue and Ming Yu bore a daughter after they were married. Though she was Lu Zhengyang’s granddaughter as well, she was a girl nonetheless and was surnamed Ming, not Lu.
When Lu Zhengyang gave this hint, Jiang Qiling, Bai Xiashuang, and Bai Qiuxue felt pressured. In the Heaven Reverse Universe, warriors enjoyed high esteem. Since battles never completely ended and many male warriors would die in battle, it was not strange that an accomplished warrior could have several wives and concubines.
Some patriarchs of the Lu Family had many wives and concubines. One of the patriarchs was married to over ninety women and had hundreds of sons and daughters...
Big families usually supported their members to take on many wives. After all, this could give an increase in the number of offspring, and there might be a chance that they could have someone talented. Once they grew up, they could be the cornerstone of the family, which would make the family stronger.
Big families had many branches and lines, all intertwined together. Lu Family already had over one hundred thousand disciples. Those were the ones that stayed within the Lu Family. If the young ladies married to other families were included, the total number would be twice as large.
Therefore, as far as Lu Zhengyang could tell, given Lu Li’s status, power, and character, he could marry dozens of young ladies, and that would be fine. Someone was bound to be pregnant.
Since Lu Zhengyang said so, Jiang Qiling, Bai Qiuxue, and Bai Xiashuang could not refuse. After a discussion, the three of them asked Lu Feixue to let Lu Zhengyang know that they were fine with accepting concubines. However, they must check and approve the candidates. They would select some with a good personality and family background for Lu Li to choose.
Though this meant that more people would have to share their husband with them, the three knew what was expected of them since they were all born in big families. Furthermore, the fact that they could not get pregnant put them under a great deal of pressure.
Lu Zhengyang was happy that the three of them said yes. He started to let patriarchs in the family to seek for young ladies from respectable families. Families of the entire Great Land were shocked.
Lu Li was looking for concubines!
For many families, this was a great opportunity rarely seen. Even Kong, Jiang and Ye Family, let alone the fifth, sixth and seventhm ranked families, were intrigued.
When a man gets to the top, all his friends and relations get there with him!
Lu Li was the absolute leader of the Heaven Reverse Universe, and his reputation was almost at the same level as Emperor of Heaven Reverse. Lu Li’s orders could not be disobeyed and to many people, he was no different from an immortal.
Concubines might not be as honorable. For young ladies of major families, to be someone’s concubine could bring shame upon the family.
But the case was different for Lu Li. A young lady could bring benefits to her family even only as a servant girl who could bed Lu Li. After all, that would be Lu Li’s woman.
Some young ladies from wealthy households were interested, not only those from small families. Many girls wished to marry a hero. Lu Li was almost thirty. He was still a teenager compared to the long life he had ahead of him.
A God for the Heaven Reverse Universe. A handsome young man. A legend. An idol to many people. The savior and guardian for the human race; that was Lu Li. In addition, he was a man with affection and faith. He was the ideal husband for many girls seeking romance in the Heave Reverse Universe.
Being a concubine could be not as honorable, and the concubine would have to face pressure from Jiang Qiling, Bai Qiuxue and Bai Xiashuang. However, as long as Lu Li could develop affection for her, the concubine could be the subject of envy.
Many families came to meet with patriarchs of the Lu Family, presenting the information and portraits of their young ladies. They even brought fits just so patriarchs of the Lu Family could put in a good word...
Ye, Kong, and Jiang Family took actions as well. Ye Luo came to Lu Zhengyang and suggested that Ye Yu admired Lu Li. The Kong Family Patriarch stated that Prajna was 18, the age to return to secular life. Ye Cha went to Ming Yu and said that Ye Xiaoxi was an adult as well...
In half a month, Lu Family received tens of thousands of documents on young ladies from prominent households. Lu Zhengyang wanted to browse through them. But the sheer amount burdened him. He sent all the documents to Valley of Cherry Blossom to have Jiang Qiling and Bai Qiuxue pick.
When Jiang Qiling, Bai Qiuxue, and Bai Xiashuang saw the cases of documents, they were astonished. They knew their husband was popular, but this...
Lu Li had been cultivating. What would he think when he found out that tens of thousands of young ladies wanted to bed with him?
