Chapter 16: People Lying At Home

---

Ji Mingkong was a decisive person. Consulting Princess Jiuyue's opinion was merely a formality.

The main purpose was to see if his younger daughter seemed suitable.

The next day, the imperial edict of the Great Zhou Emperor was issued.

Before noon, the wedding procession departed from the imperial city and headed straight for Heavenly River City.

Of course, an edict or marriage document had been sent in advance to Heavenly River City.

The wedding procession was grand and moved very slowly. Inside a luxurious sedan chair, a figure wearing a phoenix crown and a red dress was in great agony.

The Ninth Princess of the Great Zhou Empire was named Ji Ziling. Her birth mother was a palace maid who died in childbirth.

Therefore, although Ji Ziling had been a princess since childhood, she had no status in the vast imperial palace.

Now about to marry far away, she was very anxious and full of confusion about the future.

She only knew that her husband was a cultivator, but she didn't know anything else.

What was Li Daoxuan doing at this time?

Li Daoxuan was lying at home, leisurely accompanying his two wives, occasionally playing with his beloved son.

Xiao Man hurriedly ran over and said, "Master, the imperial edict has arrived. You are required to receive it."

At this moment, Li Daoxuan sat up from the recliner and asked in confusion, "Imperial edict? What imperial edict?"

"It's the imperial edict of the Great Zhou Emperor!"

Li Daoxuan was stunned. This was Heavenly River City, and he was a cultivator. The imperial edict was worthless in his eyes.

What did the Great Zhou Emperor mean?

Su Youruo gently touched her belly, radiating maternal brilliance at all times, and smiled, "Since it has arrived, my husband might as well take a look."

"Okay!"

Li Daoxuan went to the living room, where an extraordinary middle-aged man was sitting and drinking tea. When he saw Li Daoxuan enter, he quickly put down his teacup and stood up with a smile, "Fellow Daoist should be Li Daoxuan, right?"

Li Daoxuan understood that the person who came was also a cultivator, and his cultivation level was not lower than his own.

Li Daoxuan clasped his hands and said, "Fellow Daoist has come from afar. What can I do for you?"

"I am Huang Yi, a servant of the Great Zhou imperial family. I have come here on the order of His Majesty to propose a marriage to Fellow Daoist."

"Marriage?"

"Yes! His Majesty wishes to marry the Ninth Princess to Fellow Daoist. I wonder what Fellow Daoist thinks?"

"..."

Li Daoxuan suddenly laughed. This was truly a case of getting what he wished for!

However, he couldn't easily agree now. After all, he didn't know what the Ninth Princess looked like.

Li Daoxuan looked hesitant and said, "This... this might not be appropriate. After all, I already have two wives."

Huang Yi smiled and took out a piece of image stone from his storage bag, handing it to Li Daoxuan.

"What... what does this mean?"

Huang Yi inwardly criticized himself. If he hadn't been single-mindedly pursuing the Dao and immortality, he would have been somewhat tempted when he saw the Ninth Princess in her splendid attire.

He didn't believe that Li Daoxuan wasn't moved!

"Li Fellow Daoist, activate your spiritual power and you will see."

Buzz~

Li Daoxuan activated his spiritual power, and the image stone immediately emitted a white light, projecting an image in the living room, as if it were a live broadcast.

In the projection, a tall and graceful woman wearing a phoenix crown and a red dress appeared.

The woman in the projection had a shy and evasive look, which made people feel pity and compassion. It instantly struck a chord in Li Daoxuan's heart.

Huang Yi nodded in satisfaction. It seemed that this mission was going smoothly.

"Li Fellow Daoist, the girl in this projection is Princess Jiugong. What do you think, Li Fellow Daoist?"

Li Daoxuan composed himself and earnestly said, "Actually, this marriage proposal is not impossible."

"Hahaha... Li Fellow Daoist truly is a clever person. So, does that mean you agree?"

Li Daoxuan wasn't embarrassed, but still asked, "If I agree to this marriage proposal, what does the Emperor of Da Zhou need me to do?"

Huang Yi affirmed, "You don't need to do anything. As long as Fellow Daoist doesn't become an enemy of Da Zhou and doesn't harm the ordinary people of Da Zhou."

"That's not a problem at all!"

An agreement was reached, and this marriage proposal was settled. The two of them continued to have a pleasant conversation.

After seeing Huang Yi off, Li Daoxuan returned to the backyard and didn't know how to broach the subject with his two wives.

The two wives had just become pregnant not long ago, and now he was going to marry again. Wasn't he the epitome of a scumbag?

When Qing Xuan saw her senior brother return, she immediately jumped up, startling Li Daoxuan. "Little sister-in-law, you can't jump like that."

"Hehe~ It's okay, I forgot. Besides, I am a cultivator at the Gold Core stage, not so fragile!"

"Husband, is everything resolved?"

"Senior brother, what's the matter?"

Li Daoxuan: "Ah~ this... this..."

"Senior brother, did you secretly do something bad behind our backs?"

"No! I didn't!"

Seeing the two fairy-like women staring at him, Li Daoxuan couldn't hold on any longer and took out a marriage contract and a commemorative stone from his pocket.

Qing Xuan and Su Youruo each snatched one.

"Wow! Who is the girl inside? I really want to protect her!" Qing Xuan couldn't help but exclaim.

"A marriage contract?"

Qing Xuan and Su Youruo exchanged glances and immediately understood.

The Li family was going to have another member, they were going to have another sister.

However, the two of them weren't angry at all. They vaguely felt that their husband's plan was to build a cultivation family.

Although they didn't know why, they were sure they would support their husband.

"Husband, did you find us another sister?"

"And she's a princess!"

"Leaving everything else aside, just based on her appearance, I feel pity for her. I agree to this marriage proposal." Qing Xuan, with a maternal demeanor, made Su Youruo and Li Daoxuan laugh.

Su Youruo also agreed. Although she hadn't met this princess in person, she could tell from the image that she was an unparalleled beauty.

Especially with that gentle temperament, even women would feel protective, let alone men.

Li Daoxuan awkwardly touched his nose and asked, "You both agree?"

"We agree!"

"But senior brother, can you consult with us in advance next time?"

"No problem!" Li Daoxuan then solemnly said, "Actually, I am marrying again to strengthen our family. I want to develop the Li family into a powerful cultivation family!"

"Really? I find it hard to believe!" Qing Xuan's eyes gleamed mischievously. "Senior brother, how about I introduce my girlfriends to you?"

Li Daoxuan was tempted. If they were Qing Xuan's girlfriends, they must be geniuses, right?

Although he was tempted, he maintained a tough exterior and waved his hand. "No need, having you both is enough. If anything, you can just have more children!"

"Ah! Have more children?"

"In that case, I'll introduce my girlfriends to you!"

"If they don't agree, I can just tie them up and stuff them into your bed..."

Li Daoxuan was suddenly shocked. These were definitely fake girlfriends! They were fake! All of them!
