Longevity Gu Dao: Start From Refining Infatuation Gu

Chapter 78: When will Xia Meimei become a concubine?

The next morning.

"What's going on? Why is there no movement?"

Xu Tianze had been paying close attention to the activity in Zhou Sui's courtyard, but after watching all night, he found that there was no sign of any activity or presence.

He could even see Zhou Sui and his wives coming out to exercise, do laundry, and cook, as if it were a normal day.

The problem was, he had deliberately hinted to the Yan Mountain Five Tigers that the neighboring cultivator must have a large amount of spiritual stones.

According to the personalities of the Yan Mountain Five Tigers, they couldn't possibly tolerate it and would definitely take action.

But until this morning, he hadn't seen any sign of the Yan Mountain Five Tigers making a move, which was truly puzzling.

"Could it be that the Yan Mountain Five Tigers didn't understand my meaning, so they didn't take action?"

"Or, they have already taken action, but were silently killed by those female cultivators."

Xu Tianze frowned, leaning towards the first guess, because the second guess was simply absurd.

After all, the Yan Mountain Five Tigers were all cultivators in the late Qi Refining stage, and even he was a bit wary of them.

To silently kill them without a trace would be nothing more than wishful thinking.

He didn't believe that those delicate female cultivators had such ability.

"Hmph, I didn't expect this kid to be so lucky, actually able to escape this disaster."

"And those damn Yan Mountain Five Tigers, they're just useless, claiming to be famous Rogue Cultivators, yet they don't even dare to lay a finger on a few female cultivators. What kind of Rogue Cultivators are they?"

"They call themselves the Five Tigers, but I think they're more like the Five Rats, each one as timid as a mouse."

"Anyway, it's not the time to reveal ourselves yet. The most important thing is to complete the sect's mission. We'll spare this kid's life for now. When Misty Cloud City is captured, it will be his time to die."

Xu Tianze's eyes revealed a cold light.

Although he was also unwilling to admit the failure of his plan this time, he didn't really care too much.

After all, it was just a casual move, success was naturally good, and failure didn't matter.

............

Noon.

Zhou Sui, Ji Bingyu, Mu Ziyan, Xia Jingyan, and others were having lunch. The table was filled with various dishes, and the fragrance filled the air, very luxurious.

At least this meal was worth more than ten low-grade spiritual stones.

"Husband, we're really living too extravagantly. I heard that the price of grain, meat, and vegetables outside has gone crazy. This meal alone would probably be worth a hundred low-grade spiritual stones outside."

Mu Ziyan sighed.

She had inquired before and found that the supply of spiritual rice, meat, and vegetables in Misty Cloud City was limited, and the prices on the black market had basically increased tenfold compared to before.

If other cultivators saw them enjoying such a luxurious meal, they would definitely be jealous to the point of going crazy.

"This is called being prepared. If we hadn't stored enough food in advance, how could we be so extravagant?"

Zhou Sui said proudly.

"Husband, we should be more careful recently. It is said that there have been many Rogue Cultivators appearing in Misty Cloud City these days."

Ji Bingyu's face was serious. "They often commit crimes at night, breaking into houses and robbing. Several families on our street have been robbed, and even lost their lives. For example, Fellow Daoist Liu's family, Fellow Daoist Sun's family, and Fellow Daoist Zhao's family, all suffered calamities. The whole family was killed, and their money was looted."

She said that Misty Cloud City was not very safe now, even more dangerous than before.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Sui smiled. It was definitely not safe, because his own house was invaded by the Yan Mountain Five Tigers last night.

If he hadn't discovered it in time, they might have become the headline news.

Fortunately, his cultivation had improved, and he easily dealt with those Rogue Cultivators, making them much safer.

Of course, he didn't need to say much about this kind of thing, so as not to cause anxiety among his wives.

"Really? Are they so ruthless? They're actually openly breaking into houses and robbing?"

Mu Ziyan was shocked: "Wait, such a major case happened, but no one reported it to the Immortal Mist Sect? Did the Immortal Mist Sect's patrols find the group of Rogue Cultivators?"

She didn't expect such a big case to happen under the management of the Immortal Mist Sect in Misty Cloud City.

During the three years she had stayed in Misty Cloud City, she rarely saw anything similar.

"Hehe, the Immortal Mist Sect doesn't have the time or interest to manage such matters now. They won't care about our life or death," Ji Bingyu shook his head. "After all, just dealing with the daily attacks from the Shadow Demon Sect is enough to give the Immortal Mist Sect a headache. As for these murders and treasure thefts, they will pay even less attention."

Previously, there were cultivators who wanted the Immortal Mist Sect patrols to administer justice.

But it was useless. They only received reports but showed no intention of finding the culprits.

Instead, there was a sense of indifference, which was chilling.

Over time, no one reported anymore and they could only rely on themselves.

"It's not just a matter of headaches. Reducing the number of Independent Cultivators may actually be in line with the goals of those Immortal Mist Sect cultivators," Zhou Sui said with a sinister tone.

"What do you mean?"

Ji Bingyu and the others were stunned.

"Just what it sounds like," Zhou Sui said in a deep voice. "No one knows how long this war will last, maybe three years, maybe five. But within Misty Cloud City, the food supply is decreasing. However, there are too many Independent Cultivators in the city, and more people means more food consumption. If they can take this opportunity to eliminate some Independent Cultivators, the pressure on food supply will likely be greatly reduced."

He always speculated about others with the worst intentions.

Although this may not be the true goal of the Immortal Mist Sect cultivators, their actions have resulted in this outcome.

This is an undeniable fact.

"In that case, I need to strengthen the power of the formation restrictions to prevent outside cultivators from intruding into our yard and robbing our territory," Xia Jingyan suddenly became nervous.

She couldn't sit still and began to check for any flaws in the formations, to prevent enemies from finding loopholes and silently entering her home.

If that were to happen, they would be in great danger.

"Fellow Daoist Xia, you are indeed responsible," Zhou Sui said with emotion when he saw this scene.

It is because of responsible formation masters like her that they can feel at ease when sleeping.

If the formations were casually flawed, they wouldn't be able to sleep peacefully.

They would be afraid that Rogue Cultivators would approach their beds and end their lives.

"Fellow Daoist Xia?"

Hearing this, Ji Bingyu looked at Zhou Sui with a smile that wasn't a smile. "Husband, you and Xia sister are so close, why do you still call her Fellow Daoist Xia? When are you going to take Xia sister as your concubine?"

Her beautiful eyes revealed a different meaning.

"This!"

Zhou Sui blinked his eyes. He wasn't a fool. How could he not hear the meaning behind his partner's words, especially when she was so straightforward?

Clearly, this intelligent woman had long discovered the relationship between him and Xia Jingyan.

But this was only natural.

They had lived under the same roof for such a long time, almost constantly together. How could they not notice?

They acted recklessly on a daily basis.

The reason Ji Bingyu didn't bring up this matter directly was simply because she turned a blind eye to it, or perhaps she even welcomed it.

Now it seemed that she didn't want to continue pretending to be ignorant.

Wishing everyone a happy May Day. It's double voting time now. If you think this book is good, you can vote for it to increase its popularity.
