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

Chapter 76: Troubled Girl

It has been thirty years since Han Jia's ancestor reached the Sea Opening Realm. During this time, he has taken in dozens of concubines, which has had a great impact on Lingjun City.

Every once in a while, various forces from Fengyang Mansion would send people to participate in Han Jia's concubine-taking ceremony in Lingjun City. Sometimes it would happen three to five times a month, and other times it would happen three to five times a year.

This greatly boosted the economic development of Lingjun City and attracted more and more people to come here, seeking greater development opportunities.

Now, the permanent population of Lingjun City has exceeded four million. If we include the floating population, it has surpassed five million. It ranks among the top three in the many counties of Fengyang Mansion.

Han Li's frequent taking of concubines greatly improved the living standards of the people in Lingjun City. However, the secular world's ability to resist disasters is still relatively low. There are few natural disasters in Lingjun City, but there are many man-made disasters.

The secular world has its own development rules and way of life. Han Li wouldn't easily interfere, otherwise he wouldn't be able to handle all the complaints and grievances.

Having stayed in the Han Mansion for a long time, Han Li also felt bored. So he asked many concubines if they wanted to go out for a stroll.

Lin Yiwu, Qiuyue Yao, and other women shook their heads one after another. They didn't like to show their faces. If they had this time, they would rather cultivate in their own rooms.

Han Li didn't force them and left with the lively Lin Yiying and Chu Yumeng. To avoid attracting trouble, Han Li also casually disguised the two women, using the power of their souls to conceal their appearance. In the eyes of outsiders, they looked ordinary.

The streets were bustling and lively. The streets were clean and tidy, with rows of shops on both sides, as well as some ordinary people selling goods on the street.

Han Li looked like a rich young master, dressed in brocade clothes, with a purple jade hanging from his waist, and holding a white feather folding fan in his hand, swaying it.

Chu Yumeng and Lin Yiying pretended to be his maidservants, walking and looking around. They kept chattering to Han Li, showing their excitement.

Lin Yiying was naturally curious about these things, and Chu Yumeng was also a lively and active person. The two held hands, intimate and close.

Feeling the strong worldly atmosphere, a smile appeared on Han Li's face, and certain parts of his heart were touched.

It is said that the worldly fireworks can soothe the hearts of mortals, and it is the same for cultivators.

Many powerful cultivators, after reaching a certain realm, would enter the mortal world to experience and temper their Dao hearts, and also to strive for enlightenment.

Unconsciously, Han Li had already visited many places. He and Lin Yiying and Chu Yumeng didn't feel tired at all. On the contrary, the two women were full of energy, holding various snacks bought by Han Li in their hands, and they had eaten even more delicious snacks.

"Husband, it's so lively ahead."

"Husband, let's go and take a look."

At this moment, Lin Yiying and Chu Yumeng held Han Li's arm and kept shaking it, acting spoiled. Han Li was immediately won over by their sweet words.

"Then let's go and take a look."

Han Li smiled and led the two women to the left.

Although they came to experience the mundane life, Han Li still maintained his spiritual awareness, always covering a radius of about ten miles around him, ensuring his own and the two women's safety.

Even though he knew very well that there was no existence in Lingjun City that could threaten him, Han Li still acted cautiously to avoid any unexpected situations.

He had already seen the situation ahead. Hundreds of people were gathered, whispering to each other. In the middle was a little girl wearing old gray clothes.

In front of the little girl was a sign with four big characters written on it, "Selling oneself to bury one's father."

People around were accustomed to such situations. On average, there would be hundreds of cases like this in Lingjun City every year, all of which were caused by family misfortunes.

Occasionally, someone would step forward and talk to the little girl. When the little girl stated the price, they would shake their heads slightly, feeling that it was not worth it, and then walk away.

Seeing this scene, Chu Yumeng and Lin Yiyin thought of their own experiences and immediately felt a great sympathy for the little girl. At the same time, they looked at Han Li.

Han Li understood their meaning and nodded slightly. He bought the girl back to serve the Han family, which could be considered a lifeline for him.

Just as he was about to speak, Han Li suddenly frowned. He scanned the little girl with his spiritual sense several times and indeed discovered something unusual.

"Not simple."

This was Han Li's evaluation of the little girl.

At first glance, this little girl had no cultivation talent and seemed ordinary.

But upon closer inspection, he found something amiss. It took several scans of his spiritual sense to uncover the hidden secrets.

Under Han Li's signal, the two women immediately approached the little girl and exchanged a few words with her. The little girl looked up at Han Li with surprise, and he nodded with a smile.

After buying the little girl, Chu Yumeng and Lin Yiyin no longer had the intention to continue shopping. Han Li then took them back to the Han residence.

After arranging for a maid to take the little girl for cleaning, Han Li called for a descendant to handle the affairs of the little girl's father.

Half an hour later, the little girl, now cleaned and wearing a neat dress, was brought to the Fragrant Garden.

When Han Li saw the little girl, his eyes lit up. Previously, she was wearing plain gray clothes with a dirty face, making it hard to tell. But now, it was clear that she had the potential to become a beauty.

The little girl was wearing a sea blue dress, with beautiful blue hair styled in bangs in the front and long twin tails tied with two red bows in the back. Her face was delicate and lovely, and when she grew up, she would definitely become a stunning beauty that would cause chaos.

Han Li had already learned from Lin Yiyin that the little girl's name was Yao Xi and she was only ten years old. He spoke gently, saying, "Yao Xi, you can live peacefully in the Han residence from now on."

"Mhm."

Being scrutinized by Han Li for so long, Yao Xi had been nervous the whole time, clutching the hem of her dress with her small hands. Upon hearing his words, she quickly nodded.

After asking Yao Xi a few more questions, Han Li handed her over to Chu Yumeng and Lin Yiyin. The two women couldn't wait and immediately took Yao Xi to meet the other sisters.

They found that Yao Xi was indeed a potential beauty, and it was highly likely that she would become their true sister when she grew up, so they had no reservations.

"A blue-haired loli with twin tails, tsk tsk, seems quite suitable for raising a loli."

Watching Yao Xi's figure, Han Li muttered softly.

He had played loli-raising games before, with a high degree of freedom and various face customization options, which felt quite real. However, he had never played a real-life version of raising a loli.

"I want to see if you can surprise me." Han Li's expression then became strange.

Just now, he carefully examined Yao Xi and found that she had talent, and it was not low. However, he couldn't see the specific level of her talent.

Yao Xi's soul was intact, but there was a faint sense of incompleteness, and it was sealed, concealing her true talent. Her spiritual power only revealed a bit, which was much stronger than an ordinary person's and even surpassed an average Sea Opening Realm cultivator.

This was enough to show that Yao Xi had an extraordinary background, and Han Li wondered if she was a reincarnation of a powerful being.

However, Han Li had already made up his mind. When this problematic girl grew up, he would quickly bring her under his wing and thoroughly study whether she was a reincarnation of a powerful being.

Smiling, Han Li left the Fragrant Garden and went to another garden. He saw the women surrounding Yao Xi, talking non-stop. He was very curious, while Yao Xi felt quite nervous and didn't know what to do.

While Han Li was enjoying his carefree life, a major event occurred in Leizhou.
