Immortal Martial Arts: Marry a Wife and Live a Long Life

Chapter 120: Sword Immortal Takes the Initiative to Come

The moon was bright and the stars were sparse.

Wearing a palace-style white dress and carrying a divine sword, the stunning female cultivator was on her way to the Gu Lei Mansion.

Throughout the journey, Jiang Baiye had a cold expression on her face. She hadn't figured out how to face the great demon Han Li.

If Han Li was truly a mysterious grandmaster, given his lecherous nature, could she really escape from his clutches by going there this time?

Jiang Baiye didn't know, but she knew she had to go.

The evening breeze blew, her silver hair fluttered, and her misty temples and cloud-like hair showcased the elegance of the Sword Immortal.

Her eyes were filled with autumn water, her figure was exceptional, her appearance was peerless. The cold moonlight shone through her bright phoenix eyes, as if illuminating two stars.

When she arrived at the Gu Lei Mansion, Jiang Baiye didn't continue forward. Standing in the sky, the gentle moonlight draped her in a celestial robe, making her even more extraordinary and ethereal at this moment.

She knew she couldn't continue forward, as this was already the limit.

If Han Li was truly a mysterious grandmaster, he would naturally have the ability to discover her and know her intentions, and he would come to meet her.

Since Han Li didn't want to reveal his identity or his Myriad Manifestations Realm strength, if she went to Han's camp with her identity, it would definitely cause a stir.

The outside world didn't know about her relationship with Han Li. Suddenly meeting each other would bring Han Li a lot of trouble. Although she would be happy to see that happen, she didn't want to offend Han Li.

She came here to exchange for the Life-Preserving Furnace, not to cause trouble for Han Li.

As time passed, Jiang Baiye's mood suddenly became uneasy. Why hadn't Han Li come yet?

Did Han Li not want to see her? Or was Han Li really not the mysterious grandmaster and couldn't find her trace?

She had confidence in herself. As the number one Sword Immortal in the Three Provinces, and with Han Li being a lecherous person, he couldn't possibly not come to see her after the shameful things he did to her last time.

Could it really not be him?

If Han Li wasn't the grandmaster, then she would have to find another way to retrieve the Life-Preserving Furnace without risking herself.

Even if she would suffer backlash and have no hope of reaching the Empty Void Realm in this lifetime, she had no choice but to do it for the safety of her sect.

She decided to wait a little longer. If Han Li still didn't appear, she would return to the Cang Hai Sect and ask the Sect Master to help her reclaim the Life-Preserving Furnace.

Why not ask the Sect Master to intervene?

Jiang Baiye felt that it might not be safe for the Empty Void Master to take action.

Just as Jiang Baiye's thoughts were in turmoil, three hundred miles behind her in the sky, a figure in black stood silently, watching the Sword Immortal ahead.

"What does little Yezi want to do in the end?"

Jian Ziyun muttered to himself. He didn't even deliberately hide himself, but Jiang Baiye hadn't noticed. This made Jian Ziyun feel very uneasy.

With Jiang Baiye's cultivation at the late stage of the Soul Refining Realm, even without deliberately hiding, she should have noticed something at such a close distance.

Recently, Jian Ziyun noticed that Jiang Baiye seemed off. She seemed restless within the sect, as if she was hiding something extremely important in her heart.

When he asked her, Jiang Baiye remained silent.

So during this period, he focused on Jiang Baiye, wanting to see what she was up to and hoping she wouldn't do anything foolish. After Jiang Baiye left the sect tonight, Jian Ziyun quietly followed her.

"Why isn't Xiaoye moving? Is she waiting for someone here?" Jian Ziyun furrowed his brows.

He knew his disciple well. He hadn't heard of any like-minded friends for her in the Gu Lei Mansion. There was a Soul Refining realm cultivator in the Gu Lei Mansion, but he was already an old-timer, someone Jiang Baiye would definitely not be interested in.

"Could it be that there's some secret realm about to appear in the Gu Lei Mansion?" Jian Ziyun speculated, thinking that this possibility was more likely.

Otherwise, why would Jiang Baiye, in the late hours of the night, not be cultivating in the sect but instead be waiting in the sky of the Gu Lei Mansion? It couldn't be that she came here just to enjoy the moon.

Jian Ziyun was filled with doubt, but suddenly his expression changed drastically, and before he could defend or counterattack, he fainted.

Han Li's figure appeared here, lifting Jian Ziyun with one hand, and then disappeared. After he arrived, his Vital Spirit spread out, forming a barrier that concealed the commotion, while Jiang Baiye was still dazed hundreds of miles away.

Earlier, Han Li was waiting in a carriage, engaged in a flirtatious conversation with Lu Tianxiang. There seemed to be a tendency for affection between them, which made Han Li very happy. It seemed that he was not far from breaking through Lu Tianxiang's heart.

Then he sensed two figures entering his spiritual sense range, one in front and one behind. The former was in the Soul Refining realm, while the latter was in the Empty Void realm, seemingly tracking the former and carefully hiding their tracks.

Han Li didn't rush to take action. They still needed some time to get closer.

While he continued to flirt with Lu Tianxiang, he noticed that the person in front stopped at the edge of the Gu Lei Mansion and didn't move forward anymore, as if waiting for someone. The person behind was hiding hundreds of miles away and also stopped moving.

Han Li carefully probed with his spiritual sense and discovered that the person in front was none other than Jiang Baiye, who had disappeared for a long time, while he didn't recognize the Empty Void realm expert behind her.

With a slight guess, Han Li knew her purpose for coming here. Since he had been thinking about Jiang Baiye for a long time, he naturally couldn't miss this opportunity.

Holding Lu Tianxiang's delicate face, Han Li gently pecked her and whispered, "Xiang Xiang, I'll leave for a while."

"Go away quickly," Lu Tianxiang said coldly. She knew what Han Li was going to do. During their journey, Han Li often had to leave to deal with troubles.

She wasn't speaking coldly because Han Li wasn't accompanying her, but because she felt ashamed of her behavior just now. How could she act like a little girl, leaning on her lover's chest?

Lu Tianxiang felt that she couldn't maintain her dignity and returned to being the lofty and aloof Eternal Mother.

Han Li smiled and didn't mind, then disappeared.

Instead of going to see Jiang Baiye first, Han Li went behind the Empty Void expert and slapped him on the back of his head.

He was just a mid-stage Empty Void realm expert, far inferior to Han Li in terms of strength. By the time Han Li appeared behind him, he had just barely reacted.

Before this Empty Void expert could resist, Han Li's Vital Spirit instantly surged into his body, forcing all of his Vital Spirit back into his dantian's spiritual sea, sealing it.

With his cultivation sealed, the Empty Void expert became an ordinary person, and Han Li knocked him unconscious with a slap.

In a flash, Han Li appeared behind Jiang Baiye and suddenly spoke.

"Jiang Baiye, how dare you come to see me?"

Jiang Baiye suddenly heard this sound and felt the breath coming from behind her. The divine sword she carried on her back immediately resonated and was about to be unsheathed for battle.

Han Li directly slapped the divine sword with his palm, and the sword immediately quieted down and became motionless.

Jiang Baiye had a feeling of being on edge and knew that Han Li had arrived. Her speculation had proven correct. Taking a deep breath, Jiang Baiye turned around, wanting to meet Han Li's gaze.

To her astonishment, she found that Han Li was too close to her, almost leaning against her back. As she turned around, her red lips pressed against a pair of warm and moist lips.

"Shameless!"

Jiang Baiye immediately wanted to step back, but found that her cultivation was sealed in an instant, and her body couldn't move. Then she was pulled into Han Li's embrace.

If viewed from a distance, under the sky and moonlight, a handsome man and a beautiful woman were cuddling each other, with affectionate feelings, like immortal lovers.

But in reality, the usually cold Jiang Baiye had already started cursing loudly, but she could only repeat the same few words.

"Shameless!"

"Bastard!"

"You lecherous scoundrel!"

"Let go of me!"

"I'm going to scream!"

Han Li held Jiang Baiye in his arms and suddenly smirked, saying like a big villain, "Go ahead, scream all you want, no one will come."

There was no one else within the range covered by his spiritual sense, and Han Li had deliberately condensed a Vital Spirit barrier to block any sound. It was impossible for anyone outside to hear.

"I..." Jiang Baiye trembled all over, pursed her red lips, but didn't curse anymore.

She found that the more she cursed, the more excited Han Li became, and she couldn't come up with any particularly offensive words.

So Jiang Baiye decided to give up.

Now that her cultivation was sealed, she had no way to resist. Even though she had anticipated this possibility, when it actually happened, Jiang Baiye still felt powerless.

"Jiang Baiye, last time I kindly let you go, but you voluntarily came to me. Have you fallen in love with this old man and want to be my concubine?" Han Li held Jiang Baiye's slender waist with one hand and his other hand was not well-behaved either. He whispered in the cold beauty's ear.

Feeling the warm breath blowing against her ear and the temperature coming from Han Li's body, Jiang Baiye's face blushed, but she still forced herself to speak coldly.

"Shameless, I will never fall in love with a lecherous scoundrel like you."

"I came here today to take back my sect's treasured body-nourishing furnace, not to be your concubine. Don't daydream."

"Is that so?"

Han Li chuckled lightly, lowered his head, and sealed Jiang Baiye's red lips. Jiang Baiye struggled, but it was futile.

After a long time, Han Li finally let her go and smiled, saying, "You're still quite unfamiliar with this, it seems like you're leaning towards me."

"You're such a jerk!" Jiang Baiye exclaimed angrily, knowing exactly what he was talking about.

After being captured by Han Li last time, not only was she recorded in various embarrassing poses with a photographic stone, but her first kiss was also taken away.

As the prestigious Sword Immortal and the most beautiful woman in the Three Provinces, her standards were very high. How could she just casually find a Dao companion?

So during this period of time, she remained the aloof Sword Immortal, pursued by countless people. It was normal for her to be unfamiliar with intimacy, right?

She hadn't been intimate with anyone else, so how did it become something she was saving for him?

Being touched by Han Li made Jiang Baiye feel extremely uncomfortable. She struggled hard, but there was a strange feeling in her heart, reminding her of what happened when Han Li sealed her cultivation last time.

After teasing Jiang Baiye a bit, Han Li whispered in her ear, "Jiang Baiye, if you want to get the Body Nurturing Furnace back, it's not impossible. As long as you marry me, everything can be discussed."

"I won't treat you unfairly. I will marry you as my wife, not just take you as a concubine. What do you think?"

"Not good!" Jiang Baiye's voice was cold as she firmly refused.

Pausing for a moment, ignoring Han Li's mischievous hand, Jiang Baiye continued, "I can exchange something else for the Body Nurturing Furnace."

Han Li stopped and sneered, "The Body Nurturing Furnace is a Heaven Grade lower-grade treasure with endless uses. I'm sure you're very clear about the effects of the Body Nurturing Furnace. What can you offer in exchange?"

"Besides, the Body Nurturing Furnace is just an imitation of the ancient treasure, the Life Nurturing Furnace. If it were unsealed, it would at least be a Heaven Grade top-grade treasure, maybe even a divine weapon. Can you afford that?"

Actually, Han Li also felt that the Body Nurturing Furnace in his hand was unlikely to be an imitation of the Life Nurturing Furnace, but that didn't stop him from saying so to intimidate Jiang Baiye.

Like Lu Tianxiang, he truly wanted to completely possess Jiang Baiye's body and mind, to make her wholeheartedly follow him, rather than forcefully play with her.

If Jiang Baiye devoted herself to him, Han Li would gain a good helper. With Jiang Baiye's talent, he would cultivate her vigorously, and in the future, she would become a Myriad Manifestations Realm Grandmaster.

Forcing her would only gain him Jiang Baiye's body. She wouldn't listen to him and wouldn't be able to help him.

Since his strength had reached the Myriad Manifestations Realm, Han Li's mentality had changed. Compared to those easily obtained concubines who willingly came to him, he preferred to conquer some outstanding beauties with high talent, good looks, high cultivation, and great reputation.

Han Li felt that this was more challenging. He left the matter of procreation to those concubines; his descendants were already flourishing.

In short, Han Li's taste had changed. He had shifted from pursuing quantity to pursuing quality.

Taking concubines was easy for the current Han Li. After those concubines married him, they would quickly devote themselves to him.

But for women like Lu Tianxiang and Jiang Baiye, who were exceptional beauties, they were hard to come by and required a certain amount of effort.

If he used force, he could naturally obtain Jiang Baiye's body and have her bear his offspring, but what would be the meaning of that? Couldn't any of those concubines do the same?

If he used force on exceptional women every time, it would definitely invite trouble. So Han Li not only wanted Jiang Baiye's body, but also her heart.

This way, not only would there be no trouble, but he would also gain a good helper. Jiang Baiye could also bear his offspring, killing two birds with one stone.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Baiye fell silent for a while before weakly saying, "The Body Nurturing Furnace is just the Body Nurturing Furnace. It's not an imitation of the ancient treasure, the Life Nurturing Furnace."

It would be difficult for her to obtain a Heaven Grade lower-grade Body Nurturing Furnace, and if the Body Nurturing Furnace were labeled as an imitation of the ancient treasure, its value would skyrocket. She simply couldn't afford it.
