Take a concubine, but make sure it's the enemy's ancestor

In a fantastical world teeming with challenges and unforeseen twists, Cao Wenbin finds himself in a remarkable predicament when he accidentally traverses to a realm where he becomes the Saint Son of the prestigious Cao family. Initially, he believes that this new status will pave the way for glory, power, and respect. However, he soon discovers that this world is anything but simple. It resembles a chaotic dream where danger lurks at every corner, and the rules of engagement are dictated by the caprices of fate. This world is a rich tapestry woven from countless novel elements, where lucky individuals—those blessed with extraordinary fortune—sprout like bamboo shoots after a rainstorm. Additionally, fated protagonists, seemingly destined for greatness, are as abundant as dogs in the streets. In such a fiercely competitive environment, every move carries immense significance. A single misstep could lead to disastrous consequences, transforming triumph into catastrophe in an instant. The Cao family stands as one of the most powerful forces in Zhongzhou, a region bustling with hidden agendas and political intrigue. Although the family enjoys an outward appearance of grandeur and influence, the internal dynamics are complex and often treacherous. As the sole Saint Son of the family, Cao Wenbin quickly realizes that he is not merely a figurehead. He must confront formidable external threats while simultaneously navigating the intricate web of power struggles and rivalries within his own clan. In this high-stakes game, Cao Wenbin learns that simply relying on his family name and status will not suffice. To survive and thrive, he needs to cultivate both wisdom and courage, embracing the challenges that lie ahead. Fortunately for him, during his tumultuous arrival in this world, he acquires a mysterious divine book. This book is not just a repository of ancient knowledge; it holds the key to unlocking his true potential. As he delves deeper into its pages, he begins to uncover secrets that will aid him in his quest for survival and dominance. As Cao Wenbin gradually masters the teachings within the divine book, his life transforms in unimaginable ways. The previously mundane existence of merely subsisting in this chaotic world is no longer his fate. Instead, he becomes determined to take control of his destiny, rising above the limitations imposed upon him by fate. The divine book empowers him with insights and strategies that can turn the tide in any confrontation, making him a formidable player in this dangerous game. However, with great power comes great responsibility, and Cao Wenbin soon realizes that the divine book's abilities are not without limitations. He discovers that the realm he inhabits is a chessboard controlled by various powerful entities, each with their own agendas and ambitions. Every decision he makes carries weight, and he must navigate a labyrinth of plots and counterplots to emerge victorious. Cao Wenbin's enemies are not always what they seem. They could be longstanding adversaries lurking in the shadows, or they might even be friends and allies with hidden motives. This uncertainty forces him to question his trust in those around him. As he confronts these challenges, he must rely on his intuition and the wisdom gleaned from the divine book to outmaneuver his foes.

"My husband, you have finally awakened!"

Observing Cao Wenbin's remarkable progress, having advanced from mid-Later Heaven to the pinnacle of Innate in just two days, Die Yunyu's eyes sparkled with excitement!

She was genuinely delighted!

After all, she and Cao Wenbin were two peas in a pod; the stronger he became, the greater her own benefits would be!

"Yes, I have finally awakened!"

"I must say, this aged wine of yours packs quite the punch!"

"How annoying!"

In her playful demeanor, Die Yunyu was irresistibly charming, her brows filled with allure!

Consequently, Cao Wenbin's heart raced with newfound fervor.

Of course, as the body functions as a whole, when the heart revved up, other parts inevitably responded as well!

Yet, Cao Wenbin resolutely restrained himself!

Instead, he took Die Yunyu by the hand and headed out the door!

"Where are we going?"

"My husband, you've only just awakened; we should greet our parents first!"

With a gentle roll of her eyes, he retorted, "Why bother with them? Hurry, take me to the Die family; I want to experience the taste of being an ancestor!"

Die Yunyu paused, then shook her head in exasperation.

"Surely, your intention in marrying me isn't solely for that!"

Though this was true, Cao Wenbin did not concede.

"Not at all! The reason I specifically chose you is that during a stroll, I overheard an old man say: 'A life of battles is lonely; soon, Yunyu will be unwilling!' Thus…"

Cao Wenbin left his sentence hanging, yet Die Yunyu understood entirely!

Before she could make a retort, they had already arrived at the Die family's entrance!

"Welcome, esteemed ancestors!"

It was unclear how the Die family's elder knew of Cao Wenbin's arrival, but before he could reach, the elder had already gathered a throng waiting at the gates!

Among them was Die Ke, the favored scion of destiny!

"Ah, auras of green fortune? No wonder he managed to escape the clutches of the Emperor!"

Cao Wenbin wasted no time using his divination skills to assess Die Ke's background!

"D*mn it, taking advantage of this opportunity, I must at least diminish your fortune by ten percent!"

With this thought, Cao Wenbin promptly wrapped an arm around Die Yunyu's waist!

"What are you doing?"

Die Yunyu was puzzled.

"I'm merely using you as a prop! Be a good sport and cooperate!"

"Honestly, I'm at a loss with you!"

Though she grumbled, Die Yunyu didn't disrupt his plans.

Instead, she leaned her head on his shoulder in perfect harmony!

To be honest, both of their appearances were extraordinarily striking; standing together, they indeed resembled a pair of celestial beings!

Yet, this only fueled Die Ke's anger!

"Shameless wretches!"

"Die Yunyu, if you truly can't restrain yourself, then come find me!"

"Don't you understand the principle of not letting fertile waters flow to outsiders?"

In that moment, Die Ke's teeth nearly ground to dust!

Regrettably, there was nothing he could do to alter the situation!

As for teaching Cao Wenbin a lesson, he didn't dare to attempt it!

After all, he hadn't yet obtained the Sacred tier inheritance!

His only card was an old man trapped in a ring, nothing else!

"You all wait! In no more than three days, I will make you all regret this!"

"Are you certain the adjacent room is where Die Ke resides?"

Though unsure why Cao Wenbin asked this, Die Yunyu nodded.

"I have absolute authority within the Die family; they would not deceive me!"

"Moreover, I can sense that this junior named Die Ke is indeed in the next room!"

"By the way, why are you so focused on this Die Ke? Is there something about him that's unusual?"

Die Yunyu was no fool!

Cao Wenbin, after awakening, showed no interest in meeting his own parents, and instead, was concerned about a junior from the Die family, indicating that Die Ke must indeed pose a problem!

Cao Wenbin did not conceal his thoughts: "Yunyu, if it came down to competing for opportunities against your own kin, could you do it?"

Without hesitation, Die Yunyu promptly nodded: "If that opportunity benefits me, I certainly could!"

"After all, I am the foundation of the Die family!"

"Only when I am strong can the Die family thrive!"

It must be said, this woman was remarkably composed!

No wonder she had survived so many years despite her lack of strength!

"In that case, let's coordinate together shortly!"

"As long as your voice is loud enough for Die Ke to hear, by tomorrow, I will grant you a Sacred tier inheritance!"

Die Yunyu's eyes sparkled with excitement!

Without another word, she nodded in agreement!

As for concerns about shame, those were no longer on her mind!

Moreover, even if Die Ke heard, he would undoubtedly refrain from speaking out!

"Shall we begin now?"

"I'm ready whenever!"
