Concubines Lead to Strength: The Path to Immortality Begins with Taking a Spouse

He casually closed the courtyard gate.

Approaching the room, he gently knocked three times before speaking, "Wife."

"Come in..." A weak voice came through, seemingly carrying a mix of nervousness and anticipation.

Gu Changge smiled faintly and directly pushed the door open.

What met his eyes was a room festooned with festive decorations.

Dongfang Mingyue sat at the edge of the bed, dressed in wedding robes with a red veil over her head.

Normally, she would be seen in strong clothes for exercising, but today, after changing into a wedding dress, she seemed to exude a different kind of charm.

Especially her hands, which appeared slightly nervous as they fidgeted in her lap.

A pair of fair jade feet swayed gently, exposed to the air.

It seemed as if she felt his gaze, for her pale, tender jade feet retracted slightly.

"Wife, I've come to pick you up."

Gu Changge approached and said softly.

"Mhm..."

Through the red bridal veil, Dongfang Mingyue could vaguely see his silhouette.

Hearing her response, Gu Changge didn't delay further.

He stepped forward and crouched down slightly.

Dongfang Mingyue extended her arms, wrapping them around his neck.

With a slight forward tilt, she climbed directly onto his back.

Feeling the pressure against his back, Gu Changge couldn't help thinking that he had underestimated his wife...

Although the two had been known as a Daoist Couple, they hadn't actually had much intimate contact before.

Dongfang Mingyue felt his broad back and couldn't help but flush a bit.

Thankfully, the red veil hid her blush.

"Let's go."

With those words, Gu Changge slowly stood up and supported her with his hand from behind.

Adorned in their big red wedding robes, the two left the room.

Inside the yard awaited two children, a boy and a girl, specially there to assist.

One of them was holding a pair of exquisite and beautiful red embroidered shoes.

They followed close by Gu Changge's side, accompanying him out of Dongfang Family's household and to the side of the Ink Blood Qilin before handing over the red embroidered shoes.

There was no need for much trouble, as Gu Changge's fingertips moved, and spiritual energy drew the delicate wedding shoes to slip onto Dongfang Mingyue's jade feet.

Atop the war chariot, Yuan Youbai's glittering eyes fixated on him, a bit at loss on what to do.

At such a moment, the chariot should be yielded to the couple, but Lord Husband had said it was fine for her to join them.

Naturally, no one else would object.

After he boarded the war chariot, he gently set down Dongfang Mingyue from his back.

Suddenly, celestial music sounded.

From the sky, cultivators of the Dongfang Family scattered petals all around.

The grandiose wedding procession then took off, soaring towards the Sword Sect.

As for holding a banquet, they simply skipped it.

After all, it wasn't the joining of two ordinary families, so there was no need to invite many forces to attend.

Along the way, Dongfang Mingyue would occasionally glance at the tall figure beside her with peripheral vision.

She couldn't help but also look at Yuan Youbai, who stood by her hand.

Yuan was almost a head shorter than her, looking more like a child...

But she wouldn't have to call her "sister" in the future, would she?

According to the ranking, she indeed would have to call this little one 'sister'...

"Sister, your clothes are so pretty..."

Just as she was lost in thought, Yuan Youbai complimented softly.

"Sister?"

Dongfang Mingyue was taken aback.

"Mhm... Lord Husband said Youbai can call you sister."

"If sister prefers not, then shall Youbai be the sister in the future?"

Yuan Youbai earnestly nodded in agreement.

"Of course, I don't mind."

Dongfang Mingyue let out a sigh of relief, feeling somewhat more comfortable with that.

At this moment, she also noticed that their wedding procession included three True Monarch Realm Great Powers and as many as thirty-six individuals from the Sage Realm.

Such a magnificent scene was difficult for even the Dongfang Family to muster!

It was a fully backed display!

"Hehe, speaking of which, didn't wife say before that upon arriving in Central State, there would be challengers?"

"Today, I haven't seen anyone come forth."

Gu Changge suddenly recalled something and spoke softly.

"Who would dare challenge you, my Saint Heir..."

"Just arriving at the Sword Sect, you repelled hundreds of disciples with a single step, challenged three Ninth Grade cultivators and finished them in one move, and then overwhelmed Saint Qiu Feng of Ninth Grade Perfection once more."

"Any of these feats, on their own, are beyond what others would dare to dream."

"Those who had previously boasted about challenging us are probably seeking a hole to crawl into by now, let alone present themselves for disgrace."

Dongfang Mingyue couldn't help but roll her eyes behind the red veil, her words were in jest, yet she felt a secret thrill within.

Initially, she declared that her husband must be the strongest among the younger generation, unparalleled.

If need be, challengers would be faced at their doorstep!

Many had openly stated their intentions to challenge, but today, none dared to show up.

They had all been frightened by her husband's intimidating reputation!

Come to think of it, at that time, she had thought to use this challenge as an opportunity to help establish his fame in Central State.

But now it seemed... completely unnecessary.

He had barely been in Central State long, and many forces were already aware of the momentous feats achieved by the Extreme Dao Body of the Sword Sect.

He had shattered many records of the Lu Xian True Monarch!

After all, his arrival in Central State had attracted the attention of numerous forces, and news about him spread extremely quickly.

...

[Immortal Ascension Sect · Fifth Saint Peak]

"She..."

"Has become married today."

Saint Jiang Li's gaze was somewhat vacant as he stared at the Communication Jade Token.

Among the many suitors of Dongfang Mingyue, he was one of the most outstanding.

He had even proclaimed that he would surely come forward to challenge, to prove he was the man most suited for Miss Ming Yue.

But...

Now, how could he dare face Gu Changge?

He had already suffered greatly for scheming against him in the Northern Domain.
