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.

Sword - Nurturing Skill.

There were still three colorful boxes.

[Seven - Star Life - Pointing Technique: This technique is a desperate method created by the Seven - Star Great Emperor. Humans have seven lamps. Each time one lamp is lit, the strength doubles. When all seven lamps are lit, the Great Emperor can slay a Venerable. Note: This technique is so heaven - defying that there will be inevitable backlash after use.]

[Cicada - Wing Gloves: High - grade imperial weapon! Woven from the silk spat by the peak - level imperial beast, the Six - Winged Golden Cicada, and mixed with gilded gastrodia. When worn, it is impervious to swords and guns, and resistant to water and fire. Note: Due to the gloves' strong isolation property, after wearing them, other weapons can no longer be used.]

[Sword - Nurturing Technique: An outstanding skill created by the Sword Saint, Nameless. After comprehending this technique, as long as the sword is not drawn, one's sword intent will continuously strengthen. When the sword intent is sufficient, one can slay. It was precisely with this technique that Nameless dared to be fearless when at full health, playing the erhu, and be bold when at low health, roaming the entire map.]

"Truly worthy of The Record of Ten - Thousand Beauties. It's really powerful!"

"If I could light up all ten thousand pages, why would I fear Jun Xiaoyao at all?"

"I'd directly destroy his origin place right in front of him."

With a grin, Cao Wenbin then observed the woman's introduction.

[Name: Pei Luoxue

Identity: Empress of the Tianwu Imperial Dynasty (about to be promoted to Empress Dowager!)

Strength: Early - stage Quasi - Emperor

Appearance Rating: 95

Loyalty: 91

Note: This woman cares deeply about family. As long as you don't harm her direct relatives, she will never betray (in her view, the husband doesn't count as a direct relative).]

"What are you grinning at like an idiot?"

Near the large bed, Pei Luoxue was sitting with one leg crossed over the other, combing her hair in front of a mirror.

Judging from her rosy cheeks, she had clearly obtained many good things just now.

"It's not a stupid grin at all!"

"It's a complacent smile!"

"Virtue!"

She gave Cao Wenbin a disdainful look. But after she tied her hair, she immediately threw herself at Cao Wenbin.

"Young master, do me another favor."

"As long as you agree, I'll be your sheath from now on."

With a curl of his lips, Cao Wenbin said, "The matter of the Pei family establishing a kingdom?"

Pei Luoxue nodded vigorously, "Yes."

After saying that, she was about to offer Cao Wenbin some more sweet rewards.

But before she could start, Cao Wenbin waved his hand to stop her.

"Wait. Let's talk about business first."

"As for the reward, it won't be too late to collect it later."

Pei Luoxue was stunned for a moment, and then asked with surprise all over her face, "So you agree?"

Without further ado, Cao Wenbin said, "In principle, I agree."

"And I can also bestow the vast and fertile land of hundreds of millions of li near the sea to your Pei family."

"But I need you to do one thing for me."

Without hesitation, she said, "Tell me. I'll even give you my life if you want it."

Cao Wenbin reached out and stroked Pei Luoxue's hair. "Such a beautiful sheath, how could I bear to discard it?"

"But you guessed half - right. I do want someone's life."

After speaking, a packet of powder appeared out of thin air in Cao Wenbin's hand.

"This is the 'Divine - Collapse Powder', the number - one poison in the world. Find a way to make Wu Lingfeng consume a little."

"As long as you succeed, your Pei family members can pack up and move to the new territory."

Originally, Cao Wenbin thought that this woman would have to struggle with herself for a while before agreeing.

But unexpectedly...

"Deal!"

Cao Wenbin rolled his eyes speechlessly.

"Damn it. The Record of Ten - Thousand Beauties really doesn't deceive me."

"This woman really doesn't consider her husband as family."

Despite his吐槽, Cao Wenbin still stuffed the "Divine - Collapse Powder" into her hand.

"Are you confident?"

She nodded again, "Very confident."

"Although Wu Lingtian never eats a third mouthful of any dish during a meal to avoid being poisoned."

"His habit can deceive others, but not me."

"With this number - one poison, if I want him to die at the third watch, not even the King of Hell can keep him until the fifth watch."

"By the way, young master, when do you want me to act?"

Cao Wenbin gave a thumbs - up. Working with a smart person was really comfortable. They understood with just a hint.

"Of course, the sooner the better."

"I don't want to see a crown prince installation ceremony. I want to see an enthronement ceremony."

At this, Pei Luoxue's eyes brightened even more.

Originally, she had some guilt because after all, one day as husband and wife means a hundred days of kindness.

But now, she was a bit impatient.

"Don't worry, young master. He won't see the sun tomorrow."

After saying that, she got down to her job.

And this time, Cao Wenbin didn't stop her.
